Chapter 105: The Brutality of the Regent King Seduces the Fair-skinned Young Eunuch 51
When they were about twenty miles away from the Kyoto city gate, Lin Yi could smell a strong smell of blood in the carriage.
"Tangyuan, are there any fish that slipped through the net?"
Tangyuan now doesn’t want to recall Huo Er’s brutal and bloody methods. The scene was truly horrific!
"Master, let alone a fish that slipped through the net, even if it was a mosquito that was harmful to Huo Chen, I guess that pervert Huo Er would not let it go. The scene was too bloody and cruel!"
When Tangyuan said this, he still had psychological trauma. Even though it was a mecha warrior, he still felt scared when he saw it.
"Where are the other members of the Xie family?" Lin Yi asked again.
"No one from the Xie family in Kyoto escaped, but they were all insignificant people. Only the old man, Minister Xie, was still somewhat valuable, but he was ready to sacrifice himself for the family."
"That's right. He is probably another choice for the Xie family to stay in Kyoto! If the Xie family can benefit from Huo Chen, they will definitely not choose the King of Shu. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the King of Shu is still a little weaker than Huo Chen!"
"That's right! So the important figures of the Xie family had already started to move from Kyoto when you and Huo Chen went to Pingnan County for disaster relief, and now almost all of them have arrived in the sphere of influence of the King of Shu."
Now that the problem has been solved, Lin Yi just wants to focus on doing his own thing. He must complete the military doctor training as soon as possible. Lin Yi has a hunch that it won't be long before the King of Shu raises his army.
At the palace, Empress Dowager Zheng knelt in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a pale face, praying in her heart that those in the Zheng family who could not see the situation clearly would not commit suicide again.
When the new chief eunuch Chen came to deliver the message yesterday, Empress Dowager Zheng had already prepared to break off ties with the Zheng family.
"Your servant greets the Queen Mother. His Royal Highness the Regent Prince said that if the Zheng family does not abide by the rules and is prepared to go all the way with the Xie family, he does not mind that Your Majesty will no longer have any relatives by marriage!"
After Eunuch Chen left, Empress Dowager Zheng immediately asked her personal maid to return to the Zheng family to pass on the message.
This time, Queen Mother Zheng did not mince words. Her original words were: If the Zheng family continues to fail to see the situation clearly and continues to be hostile to the Regent, I will no longer have a mother's family. You are to decide for yourselves what to do!
The anxious Queen Mother Zheng lost the feeling in her kneeling legs. Finally, Huo Er and Huo Twelve went to the Yangxin Palace to report.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. All the escaped members of the Xie family have been captured!"
Huo Twelve clasped his fists and reported back. After finishing the report, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally completed the mission!
"My Lord, all the assassins of the Xie family have been killed!"
Huo Er reported in a sinister voice, the smell of blood on his body could be faintly smelled!
Queen Mother Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Not hearing any news about the Zheng family was the best news.
"Your Majesty, please go back!"
Huo Chen glanced at Queen Mother Zheng calmly and said in a cold tone.
"I am also tired, I will return to the palace now, please do as you please, Regent!"
When Queen Dowager Zheng stood up after she finished speaking, she staggered and nearly fell. The palace maid beside her quickly supported her.
Huo Chen did not say anything else until Empress Dowager Zheng was limped out of the Yangxin Palace supported by the palace maids.
Huo Chen looked at Huo Twelve and asked, "When is the King of Shu going to start his army?"
"Reporting to the prince, three days later, the slogan will be: Kill the treacherous and restore orthodoxy."
When Huo Twelve mentioned the slogan, his voice was full of disdain.
"Is there any news from the Turkic side?"
Huo Chen didn't care about the King of Shu's slogan at all. His biggest concern had always been the Turks.
"The Turks have assembled 100,000 troops, and their target is the border!"
When Huo Twelve said this, there was no longer any disdain for the King of Shu as before, and his tone became much more serious!
Huo Twelve followed Huo Chen and worked his way up from the bottom of the Huo family army. He fought the most against the Turks and understood best how difficult it was to deal with the Turkic force of 100,000.
"The drought in the Turkic region this summer is particularly severe. If the Turkic people want to survive this harsh winter, this war is imperative. This is also a means for the Turkic king to divert domestic conflicts!"
When Huo Chen said this, his expression became more solemn than ever before.
"Huo Er, you are needed to guard the capital this time. Xing Shuyun must have someone to cooperate with him in the court."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Those clowns can't cause any trouble!"
Huo Ersen's cold tone seemed to be able to condense tangible murderous intent.
"Chen Lian, announce Xing Shuyun, and Mu Bailin to the palace!"
Huo Chen said to Eunuch Chen who was serving beside him.
Half an hour later, Xing Shuyun and Mu Bailin walked into the Yangxin Palace.
"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to His Majesty the Regent!"
Xing Shuyun bowed respectfully, while Mu Bailin casually found a chair and sat down.
"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk!"
Huo Chen was not at all displeased with Mu Bailin's behavior and motioned for everyone else to sit down.
"You should all know why we summoned you this time, right?"
Huo Chen looked particularly at Xing Shuyun and Mu Bailin.
"Your Highness, starting a war on two fronts is not a wise move for the current Great Yan Kingdom!"
Xing Shuyun expressed his concerns first.
"This king knows this, but it is no longer up to us to decide whether to fight or not!"
“Can the Turks negotiate peace?”
Xing Shuyun's new policy in eastern Shandong had just begun to gain momentum, but once the war broke out, it would cost the people a lot of money and time, and the new policy would inevitably be difficult to implement.
"Yihe, what are you thinking? The Turks' appetite this time is no less than the cost of a war!"
Mu Bailin completely disagreed with Xing Shuyun's statement.
"Yihe is impossible. We must fight this war with the Turks, and we must hurt and cripple them. Only in this way will the Great Yan Kingdom have a chance to breathe and truly recuperate!"
Huo Chen said this in a decisive tone, his arrogance and hostility bursting out.
"I understand. I will do my best to provide logistical support and stabilize the political situation!"
Xing Shuyun saw Huo Chen's determination, and now he could only try his best to stabilize the rear for Huo Chen.
"You are not cute at all, you are always so serious. Do you think I am the richest businessman in Yan country just for free?"
Mu Bailin was very dissatisfied with Xing Shuyun's style of taking on too much.
"Shuyun, you don't have to worry about the food and military pay of the Huo family army. As early as when the drought broke out in Pingnan County, I had already obtained intelligence about the drought in the Turks and had already begun preparing for this war!"
Xing Shuyun was shocked by Huo Chen's explanation. She didn't expect Huo Chen to have such a long-term vision.
"Where do you think the food that the Cui family and the King's family have hoarded comes from? I shipped it back from overseas. I first bought up the food on the market, and then spread the news that the drought was continuing to expand, taking the opportunity to raise the price of food!"
When Mu Bailin said this, Xing Shuyun already roughly understood what Mu Bailin was doing behind the scenes. No wonder the Cui and Wang families were cheated so badly. When it comes to business, Mu Bailin is definitely a genius.
