Chapter 50

Huangfu Xiong left Fusing in the middle of the night and hurried to the Eastern Capital with Huangfu Du's wife, Jin Lanlan.

This matter was of great importance and must be discussed with Huangfu Jun face to face!

It had been several days since Jin Lanlan had a good night's sleep. Today, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered such a small detail. Her heart was flustered and she became more and more clear-headed.

"Niece-in-law, this matter is of great importance. You must remember it clearly." Huangfu Xiong reminded her.

The more Jin Lanlan thought about it, the more she felt that Huangfu Du's voice was echoing in her ears.

She even imagined him panting slightly, suppressing his voice and speaking with a tone of disbelief.

"Uncle Yi, I know very well!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. Why did Langjun say 'only thirty percent' out of the blue?

He must not have said it to me. Could it be that he suddenly heard something or was talking to someone else? "

Huangfu Xiong frowned, "When Du 'er contacted you, he was in the Imperial Palace."

"Yes." Jin Lanlan was very sure of this, "Huangfu said that he had just met the Emperor and was about to leave."

"Then he must have heard this sentence in the Imperial Palace and then disappeared!

Niece-in-law, if I'm not wrong, this is probably the reason for Du 'er's accident! "

Jin Lanlan shook her head in disbelief, "Why, why?

It was clearly a very ordinary sentence … "

"There must be a demon behind this abnormality. Humph, Du 'er must have accidentally discovered Kang Yanji's unspeakable secret!"

The more he said, the closer he felt to the truth.

As he spoke, the carriage had already entered the Eastern Capital.

Huangfu Xiong took Jin Lanlan and went straight to Huangfu Jun's palace.

As soon as they entered the palace, they felt the sadness of a hero past his prime.

Smelling the faint smell of decay that only appeared around old people's beds, Huangfu Xiong felt as if a sledgehammer had hit his chest and his mouth was suddenly filled with bitterness.

Others said that the royal family had no brothers, but Huangfu Xiong and Huangfu Jun were exceptions.

Huangfu Xiong was not ambitious. His greatest wish in life was to be the best sword under his brother's command. He did not need to use his brain and only needed to charge forward.

After winning a battle and receiving a few words of praise from his brothers, he would sit down and drink to his heart's content. Then he would call a few storytellers over and drink while listening to stories. This was the of life's of the world.

Now that he saw his brother's of the capital, he felt like his heart was being cut by a dull knife. He was so painful that he wished he could die. and wished of of his son to death. He wanted his son's death. Huangfu Xiong's pain. he wished to die of his son's of his brother's death. he wished he could die's.

He rushed to the side of the huge bed to take a look. He saw Huangfu Jun buried in a pile of brocade quilts. He was abnormally thin and his eye sockets were deeply sunken. The purple clothes that usually made him look young, handsome, and high-spirited actually made him look like he had one foot in the grave.

"Big Brother!" Huangfu Xiong cried out in pain. "Pull yourself together, Big Brother!"

Huangfu Jun slowly turned his eyes and stared at his own brother. "Little Brother, you're back."

Huangfu Xiong raised his hand, which was as big as a praying mat, and wiped away his tears.

Little Brother did not disappoint and found a clue! "

"Oh?" Huangfu Jun immediately sat up. "Speak quickly!"

The brocade quilt slid off his body. His shoulder bones rose high, making him look even more emaciated.

"Big Brother, drink the medicine first." Huangfu Xiong reached out and picked up the bowl beside the bed.

The bowl was filled with black medicinal soup. It had already cooled down.

Huangfu Xiong was not in a hurry to speak. He lit a flame in his hand and gently boiled the soup.

Huangfu Jun snatched the bowl and raised his head to drink it.

Blisters appeared on his pale lips, but he did not seem to notice. His pair of sunken eyes stared at Huangfu Xiong. "Speak quickly!"

Huangfu Xiong pursed his lips in distress. He said, "Big Brother, don't be anxious. I'll let Niece-in-law come in and talk to you.

Niece-in-law's heart is also very painful. She's pregnant, so you must calm down. Don't scare her. That's Du 'er's only child in this world! "

Huangfu Jun took a few deep breaths. His eyes glowed slightly. "Yes, yes. Du 'er has an heir. I can't scare Niece-in-law …"

Huangfu Xiong's heart hurt even more. When had Big Brother ever lost his composure like this in his life?

Look, he even mistook Niece-in-law for his daughter-in-law. How big of a blow did he suffer!

"Niece-in-law." Huangfu Xiong reminded him.

Huangfu Jun nodded. "I know. She's your daughter-in-law."

Huangfu Xiong: "… …" Forget it. Whatever.

He waved his hand. A palace maid came in with a freshly washed Jin Lanlan.

"Adoptive Father … …"

Huangfu Jun stared at her belly for a moment. He sighed. "In the future, call me Imperial Father."

Jin Lanlan was slightly startled. She softly replied, "Yes.

Imperial Father. "

"Good, good."

Huangfu Jun's face revealed an elderly smile. "Don't worry. Don't be sad. Tell Imperial Father what you know. Imperial Father will definitely make a decision for you!"

Jin Lanlan nodded gently and said, "I suddenly remembered that before my husband had the accident, he had said the words' only thirty percent '. He probably didn't say it to me, but to someone else. So I didn't take it to heart and subconsciously ignored it.

Now that I think about it, husband seemed a little surprised at that time. Then, he hurriedly broke the jade slip. "

"Only thirty percent?" Huangfu Jun pondered for a moment. "He hurriedly broke the jade slip?

Could it be that he planned to contact someone else? "

In fact, when Huangfu Du and Jin Lanlan talked on the phone, he often took the initiative to break the jade slip. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense.

It was just that no matter how ordinary his actions were, at this critical juncture, it would unconsciously cause one's imagination to run wild.

Huangfu Xiong suddenly realized. "I'm afraid that Du 'er wanted to contact Eldest Brother!

Du 'er must have heard something incredible. He didn't even have time to say goodbye to his niece-in-law. He must have hurriedly contacted Eldest Brother!

It's a pity that he was discovered. He won't have this chance anymore … … "

A vivid and fragrant drama was instantly imagined in his mind.

Huangfu Jun took a deep breath. "Du 'er, oh Du' er. What exactly do you want to say to Father?!

What exactly is it that brought you such a fatal disaster?! "

After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Jun ordered people to take Jin Lanlan away and make sure she was properly taken care of.

Huangfu Xiong sat on the edge of the bed and held Huangfu Jun's hand. "Eldest Brother, what exactly was said in that spiritual pearl that caused you to be injured like this?!"

Huangfu Jun let out a long breath and took out that spiritual pearl from under his pillow.

Kang Yanji's strong voice immediately floated out.

— — 'My poor son, Mother has no choice but to abandon you ah …'

Huangfu Xiong's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. His chest was about to explode from anger. "Eldest Brother!

Isn't this conclusive evidence?!

What are you still hesitating for?! "

Huangfu Jun weakly raised his hand. "I have to know the reason.

Looking at it now, it must have something to do with that 'only thirty percent'.

What kind of matter caused Du 'er to not even have the chance to send me a message … … Kang Yanji, oh Kang Yanji. Although I know that she is a heartless and unscrupulous woman, I didn't expect her ambition to be so big … … that she wants to eat me up too! "

Huangfu Xiong silently accompanied his elder brother and sat for a long time.

In the wee hours of the morning, news suddenly came.

The most capable pharmacist by Kang Yanji's side was suddenly assassinated. Before he died, he dipped it in his own blood and wrote two words on his clothes — thirty percent.

There was no beginning or end to this news.

Thirty percent!

Another thirty percent!

Huangfu Jun's eyes lit up. He ordered people to carefully investigate the frequency of this pharmacist entering and leaving the imperial palace in recent days.

With this investigation, they quickly found some clues.

Previously, the pharmacist had been traveling day and night, almost living in the imperial palace. Until one day, he suddenly began to idle and rest.

And this magical day just happened to be the day when Kang Yanji contacted Huangfu Jun, saying that he wanted to give him the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual marrow to help him break through the realm.

"So that's how it is!" Huangfu Jun narrowed his eyes.

This was what he thought of and found out. There was no longer a trace of doubt in his heart.

Huangfu Xiong was still somewhat at a loss. "Big Brother, what exactly is going on?

What does it have to do with Du 'er's death? "

Huangfu Jun sneered. "Thirty percent.

This pharmacist must have been busy for several days to calculate the probability of success after Kang Yanji used the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual marrow!

That day, the result came out. It was only thirty percent, so Kang Yanji gave this' great opportunity 'to me on a silver platter!

Ha, if my guess is correct, failing to break through the realm, I'm afraid he'll either die or be crippled! "

Huangfu Xiong slowly sucked in a breath of cold air.

Huangfu Jun's eyes grew colder. "Presumably, Du 'er was killed because he accidentally heard this secret!"

"That's right!" Huangfu Xiong said. "The cause and effect all fit together!

If so … it's no wonder Kang Yanji wanted to kill him!

In the end, Du 'er sided with Big Brother, not her! "

Soon, the Tiandu spies sent back another piece of news!

It turned out that You Wuming had led troops to attack the capital of Ji Zhou several days ago, saying that you wanted to take revenge for Ji Lechi's sneak attack on Youdu Pass.

Kang Yanji didn't say anything, only adding troops to the north of Tiandu, in case You Wuming really went crazy and attacked all the way to the south.

"So she wanted to borrow Big Brother's hand to help her get rid of You Wuming, this scourge!" Huangfu Xiong completely understood now.

Piece by piece, they all matched up.

All of this couldn't have been deliberately arranged.

Then, it could only be the truth!

Huangfu Jun was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll … have a chat with Kang Yanji.

Little Brother, don't make a sound. "

The jade slip flashed, and Huangfu Jun contacted Kang Yanji.

"Yan Niang."

Huangfu Jun's voice was weak but affectionate. "I heard that something happened to your medicine master, you should be more careful."

Kang Yanji's voice was also very gentle. "Junlang, I'm fine, don't worry.

How are things on your side?

When are you going to use the spiritual marrow? "

Huangfu Jun's fingernails dug into his palms, his voice was still calm. "I'll wait for Du 'er to come back, and let him protect me."

— — Huangfu Jun blocked the news, so Kang Yanji didn't know that he had already found Huangfu Du's head in Jiang Jinzhen's carriage, and didn't know that the box of spiritual marrow had already been swapped.

Kang Yanji's voice immediately became somewhat displeased. "What's wrong with Du 'er, is he still crazy outside?

You're spoiling him too much, he's only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and he still wants to run away from home! "

"Are you blaming me for not teaching Du 'er well?" Huangfu Jun's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

His fingernails dug into his palms, and blood flowed down his palms.

He almost broke his cultivation.

Huangfu Xiong grabbed his hand, and mouthed, "Big Brother, don't be impulsive!"

Although Huangfu Xiong often talked about fighting and killing, in fact, he was a man with a rough mind. He understood very well — — if he wanted to deal with Kang Yanji, he had to suddenly kill her when she was unprepared, or he had to ruthlessly plot against her behind her back.

He absolutely couldn't declare war on her first, give her time to prepare, and then fight until both sides suffered losses.

Huangfu Jun naturally knew the severity of the situation.

If he publicly fell out with Kang Yanji, it would be refreshing, but the losses and troubles that would follow would be uncountable.

Now, the most beneficial plan for Eastern State was to pretend that they were kept in the dark, and beat Kang Yanji at her own game, and ruthlessly kill her!

Kang Yanji was also annoyed today.

That medicine master was dead, so be it, but he had to use blood to write something like 'thirty percent', did he think that she was the one who killed him?

If he made HuangFu Jun suspicious …

She controlled her temper and said, "Junlang, you're thinking too much. How could I not know how hard it is for you to take care of Du 'er alone?

I'm just worried about your injuries, and I want to break through as soon as possible to help you recover.

Why do you have to wait for Du 'er, you can just let Huangfu Xiong watch over him!

The child is young and playful, who knows when he'll be willing to go back! "

From Kang Yanji's point of view, Huangfu Jun's' disappearance 'was definitely an excuse that Huangfu Jun deliberately used to delay the use of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Marrow.

After all, she had seen Huangfu Du sit in the sedan with her own eyes, and it had been a smooth journey. How could he disappear after arriving at Eastern State?

She was certain of this, so every time Huangfu Jun mentioned Huangfu Du's' disappearance ', she found it difficult to suppress the anger in her heart.

After all, she had been the emperor for ten years, and there was only one person in the world who dared to brush her off in public like this in the past, Huangfu Jun.

"Junlang, don't wait for Du 'er, ah, break through as soon as possible, I'll wait for your good news!"

The Huangfu brothers looked at each other, and the hatred and anger in their eyes almost overflowed. Yes, what were they waiting for, even if they waited, Du 'er would not come back!

She killed her son, but she did not feel guilty or sad at all!

She was so eager to scheme against the child's father!

How could there be such a vicious woman in the world!

"You're in such a hurry for me to break through?" Huangfu Jun said frivolously, "Yan Niang, do you think, the current me, can't satisfy you?"

Kang Yanji said half-heartedly, "Junlang, you're so bad!

Then it's settled, use the spirit marrow as soon as possible, don't waste my efforts.

When you break through, I'll definitely reward you well. We can try what comes after … … or do you want something else? "

Huangfu Xiong felt goosebumps all over his body as he listened.

Emperor, the ruler of Cloud Realm's eighteen states, the emperor!

It was really too nauseating.

However, ever since Huangfu Clan and Jiang Clan joined forces several hundred years ago to pull down Yun Clan from the throne, the true surname of these eighteen states had always been Huangfu.

Huangfu Jun smiled faintly, "Alright.

That's right, Yan Niang, before your medicine master died, he wrote 'thirty percent' in blood, it wouldn't be related to breaking through, right? "

Kang Yanji clearly paused for a moment.

After a while, her voice full of acting skills sounded, "I won't hide it from Junlang, it really is related, but it's not that the success rate is only thirty percent, rather, there's a thirty percent chance of failure.

Junlang, I didn't say, because I was afraid it would affect your state of mind. You know, for many things, the more you think, the worse it gets.

You're so strong, a mere thirty percent chance of failure is negligible. Believe in yourself, okay? "

"Okay." Huangfu Jun smiled, "I believe in you."

Kang Yanji laughed very unnaturally, "I still have some things to do … …"

"Go."

Huangfu Jun slowly crushed the jade scroll.

"Big Brother, are there any other suspicious points?" Huangfu Xiong clenched his fists.

Huangfu Jun shook his head, a faint smile rising on his face.

"No, everything has come to light … … she has a guilty conscience, haha, she has a guilty conscience.

Her guilty conscience is already enough to prove everything.

As expected, it's this' thirty percent 'two words that made her ruthlessly kill!

My Du 'er, it's father who has let you down! "

"Big Brother, restrain your grief!"

"I'm not grieving." Huangfu Jun shook his head and said, "The Jiang family is finished.

The ones who should grieve are them and their descendants. "

He gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his incomparably white face, like an evil spirit crawling out of hell ready for revenge.

Actually, he already knew what kind of person Kang Yanji was, didn't he?

When she killed the Ming father and son, when had she ever been soft-hearted?

What was laughable was that at that time, Huangfu Jun only thought that he was extraordinarily charming, that Kang Yanji was so infatuated with him that she would do anything for him … …

Now, he could finally see it clearly.

That woman's heart was simply black, rotten!

He must … … dig it out with his own hands and crush it!

… …

Over at Huangfu Jun's side, You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan were living like immortals.

With Huangfu Xiong's token in hand, You Wuming was able to rent a luxurious carriage without spending too much money. The carriage company was even considerate enough to arrange two coachmen for him to drive in shifts.

These two experienced drivers were very good at taking shortcuts, bringing You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan to taste all kinds of delicacies along the way.

There was a huge saltwater inland lake in Dongzhou. The lake was rich in seafood, such as garlic scallops, crispy fried oysters, stir-fried clams, all kinds of flavors, and even sashimi!

For a moment, Sang Yuanyuan didn't know if she had transmigrated, or if there was an old senior who was good at food who had transmigrated.

Her eyes shone as she ate. You Wuming looked at her with disdain.

He raised his head in disgust and said, "You can eat such a fishy thing?"

Sang Yuanyuan didn't say anything and stuffed a grilled squid into You Wuming's mouth.

You Wuming said, "… … It's okay, I can make do with it."

Then he ate eighteen squids in a row and didn't want to stop.

… …

The journey was smooth. On the morning of the third day after leaving Fusing, they arrived at the shore of Dongzhou Lake.

You Wuming pretended to pay, but the two coachmen refused to take it. They only said that it was their fortune to be able to serve the Zhenxi General.

So You Wuming naturally put the money back into his sleeve pocket.

The two of them walked to the deserted beach one after the other.

"I wonder how Big Brother and Yun Xuzhou's investigation is going. Is it going well?"

Sang Yuanyuan took out a jade slip.

On the other side of the jade slip, there was a burst of noisy shouting.

Sang Yuanyuan: "… …"

It was so lively!

"Little Sister, I'm very busy right now. Wait for me by the lake. Yun Xuzhou will meet you later!"

Sang Yuanyuan speechlessly shattered the jade slip and looked up at the huge lake in front of him.

It was indeed worthy of being called the "sea".

Waves crashed on the beach, and the lake water in front and on both sides was connected to the sky. A gentle breeze blew on his face, bringing with it a wet and fishy sea air. When the fishing boat appeared at the end of his vision, the first thing he saw was the mast.

"It occupies more than half of Dongzhou," You Wuming said. "Minus this lake, Dongzhou isn't even as big as Youzhou!"

His tone was full of bragging.

Sang Yuanyuan: "Yes, yes. You're the strongest. You're the biggest."

You Wuming raised his eyebrows and was extremely proud.

"After taking Jizhou," he said with a smile. "Qin and Zhang will be mine. I just don't want to send people to manage the Great Wall, so I won't touch them for now."

Sang Yuanyuan nodded silently. "We need equipment."

If they were armed to the teeth like the Dongzhou army, Youzhou's combat power would be at least five times greater!

That way, they would have four or five times more soldiers. It was very direct and realistic.

"Yes." You Wuming smiled even more happily. "We'll just wait for Huangfu Jun to personally deliver the equipment to me."

Sang Yuanyuan was stunned, then slowly smiled. "That's right!"

He casually pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her on the head.

"Little Sang Guo, you have a good eye for men!"

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" Is there anyone who praises themselves like this?

The two of them ate another meal of squid.

She didn't know what kind of weird fetish You Wuming had, but he always liked to use his sharp canine teeth to chew on the squid's tentacles. After he was done, he would feed the squid's bare body to her.

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" Forget it, I won't argue with him.

In any case, it was only normal for this person to do some strange things.

She thought of something and suddenly laughed as she counted with her fingers. "Speaking of which, the stories you told Huang Fuxiong didn't have an ending!

That's too wicked! "

Breaking off an engagement was about the eve of slapping the face of the snobbish fiancée. Counterattack was one step away from breaking through the peak. Tomb exploration was about opening the last tomb door. Even the story about the Amah Rock was stuck at the moment when the woman heard the familiar footsteps at the door before she died … It was really very immoral of a eunuch!

You Wuming smiled like a fox.

She looked at his side profile and saw that the corners of his eyes were especially curved. A trace of a smile appeared on his lips. He was so handsome that it made her dizzy.

At that moment, she caught a glimpse of his real age. This young, handsome, and heartless man who looked like he was in his late teens was actually 25 years old. He was mature and smart, but his heart was full of vicissitudes.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

He looked at the sea in the distance and said lightly, "It's not necessarily a bad thing that there's no ending.

Who knows if it's a tragedy. "

She looked at him and felt as if her heart was being squeezed by a sour hand.

She had seen his tragic ending before.

He gently tugged at the corner of his lips. "Everyone thinks that they'll be the one and only victor.

How can there be so many victors? Anyone can become someone else's stepping stone. "

She couldn't help but ask, "Then what about you?"

He tilted his head and looked at her.

At that moment, his eyes clearly said, 'You're no exception.'

He curved his eyes and laughed loudly. "What are you thinking, Little Sang Guo? Me?

How can I be compared to those trash! "

She jumped up and threw herself into his arms. She tightly hugged his neck and buried her face in his shoulder. She wiped away the tears that had welled up in the corner of her eyes.

"You Wuming!

You're really lucky to have met me!

With such a peerless beauty accompanying you, even if you die, it's not a tragedy. It's a beautiful love! "She said with a voice that could swallow mountains and rivers.

You Wuming was stunned. Then he laughed until his chest trembled. As he laughed, he reached out and grabbed her shoulder. He pulled her away a little and kissed her fiercely.

This was a seafood kiss.

In the evening, they finally saw Yun Xuzhou.

Sang Yuanyuan and Su Yu each carried two skewers of squid and went up to greet them.

Yun Xuzhou's expression was a little ugly. "Young Feng was forced to marry."

Sang Yuanyuan: "… …"
