Chapter 450 Your Majesty, We Should Go
"You said Suixin wanted a patient and honest man? So he planned to have Lin Su preside over the reforms until he died of old age!"
Heavy snow fell on the boundless desert, and the wind blowing in front of her swirled the snowflakes, which landed on Xue Tong's face.
"That's right, for the upcoming Heavenly Forging Hammer trial, Lin Su alone is all you need. You can come back now!"
Xue Lan's voice carried a gentle smile, which warmed Xue Tong's heart.
The girl drew an arrow from the quiver on her back and aimed at a hawk circling in the gray sky.
"If I leave, who will guard the borders of the Great Yu Dynasty?"
“After you leave, Yu Tong, who inherited your personality, will take over your affairs.” Xue Lan toyed with the pen in her hand, her gaze falling on Jiu Sheng not far away.
"The time for the Wan Gong Workshop trial has come. Those two have completed the trial under my intervention."
"Xiao Tong, it's time for us to leave Wan Gong Fang and finish what we haven't done yet."
The girl, who was focused on shooting the eagle, remained silent, and Xue Lan was surrounded by silence.
"Your Highness!"
A rough male voice came from behind Xue Tong:
"That eagle flies so high, you can't shoot it!"
Xue Tong's lips curled slightly, and the arrow flew out like a meteor, hitting the black dot in the sky accurately a few breaths later.
The girl turned around and looked at the dark-faced man behind her:
"Ah? What did you say?"
The dark-faced man's lips twitched slightly as he watched the eagle plummet from the sky to the ground.
"It's alright, I didn't say anything!"
The man took an envelope out of his pocket.
"General, there is a letter from the capital."
"Go, pick it up and stew it, so it can catch my lamb a couple of days ago."
Xue Tong took the letter and opened it. The thin sheet of paper contained only a few extremely concise lines of text:
"With the passing of the Emperor, the eldest prince is forbidden from ever entering the capital again; the fourth prince was killed by mistake; and the second prince is confined to his quarters."
"Prince Qing ascended the throne."
"The provisions and pay have been sent on their way; let's have an extra meal!"
Xue Tong couldn't help but smile and spoke softly to Xue Lan.
"I'll accompany you to do other things first, and we'll come back to adjust the time after Lin Su's trial is completed."
Xue Lan asked gently:
"Then when will you come back?"
Xue Tong looked at the dark-faced man who was laughing as he picked up the eagle not far away, his voice filled with undisguised amusement:
"Tomorrow, I'll treat them to a nice meal tonight!"
After saying this, the girl waved to the dark-faced man not far away:
"Old black!"
"Let's slaughter a sheep and eat meat tonight!"
The dark-faced man beamed with joy upon hearing this and leaned closer to Xue Tong, asking curiously:
"What's wrong, General? Has the capital allocated more provisions and pay?"
Xue Tong carefully put away the letter in her hand and gave a spirited smile:
"Old Deng and Little Deng are both out, I'm so happy!"
After saying this, the girl took the lead and walked towards the camp. The man named Lao Hei followed behind her, scratching his head in confusion.
"What is Lao Deng?"
"And what is Xiao Deng?"
"Whatever, we're having meat tonight!"
On the northwestern border, Xue Tong slaughtered and ate a sheep with a wave of his hand.
In the capital of the Great Yu Dynasty, the newly enthroned Emperor Qingde, Lin Su, appeared in an extremely desolate mansion.
Since Yu Shang was placed under house arrest, the servants in his mansion either left or died, and the once bustling and lively palace became desolate in just a few days. He spent his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Hearing footsteps coming from ahead, the young man slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Su with his bloodshot eyes.
After a moment, the young man laughed hoarsely:
"Never imagined!"
"The eldest brother is stubborn and ruthless, while the fourth brother was enfeoffed as a king in Yongzhou, but he is absurd and eccentric."
"I've been wary of those two for half my life, but I never expected it to be you, Yu Su."
"You're so cunning!"
Yu Su, dressed in a dark black round-necked robe, shook his head slightly upon hearing this:
"not me!"
"Second Brother!" The young man's eyes were full of sincere smiles.
"I didn't actually want to be in this position, but I was forced to."
Yu Shang looked at Lin Susu's seemingly honest and simple face and couldn't help but sneer.
The young man lay in the center of a pile of wine jars on the ground, his voice hoarse and noisy:
"Why does Your Majesty come here to amuse me?"
Seeing that the man absolutely refused to believe it, Yu Su had no choice but to slowly speak to the shadows not far away:
"I told you he wouldn't believe me, but you insisted I say it!"
Upon hearing the man's words, Yu Shang suddenly sat up from the ground and looked at the unusually deep black shadow.
who is it?
The young man's heart pounded.
"Is the promise that the boss will never be allowed to enter the capital a mere pretext?"
After a long silence, just as Yu Shang's heartstrings were about to snap, a gentle female voice came from the shadows:
"Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, you can no longer keep thinking about the Ordnance Department."
"Yu Shu?"
Yu Shang looked at the woman in black who emerged from the shadows. It was none other than Yu Shu, who had claimed to be ill since the beginning of the reform.
The woman's features were still as beautiful as ever, but now they held a calm and ruthless quality that Yu Shang had never seen before.
"Second brother, long time no see!"
"It really is Yu Wen, isn't it?"
"The claim that you two siblings plotted against me and that I will never be allowed to enter the capital is a lie!"
The young man who was sitting on the ground screamed and stood up, trying to pounce on Yu Shu, but was blocked by Lin Su.
Yu Shu smiled as she looked at Yu Shang:
"My second brother has been shrewd and ruthless all his life, why is he pretending to be confused now?"
The woman bent slightly, her eyes like cold stars on a winter night.
"Yu Shu is here, only because of Yu Shu!"
"Impossible!" Yu Shang roared.
"You're not Yu Tong, how could you possibly have that kind of guts!"
"Father, Father has never liked you."
The young man spoke incoherently, finally shouting out:
"Yu Wen is your biological brother!"
Yu Shu raised her hand and gently touched her forehead.
The woman's voice was as cold as her eyes:
"So what if he's my own brother?"
"Aren't you my brother too?"
One of her two brothers sent an assassin to kill her, while the other sent a demon to harm her.
Believe it or not, the facts are here.
"I'm the one who's manipulating you all!"
"I am the one who advises His Majesty!"
"I was also the one who pushed for reforms to eliminate corrupt officials!"
Whether he believed it or not, Yu Shu was indeed like a brightly patterned venomous snake, secretly killing them all.
"impossible!"
Yu Shang screamed.
The Second Prince, who was usually so shrewd and calculating, was screaming in the courtyard.
"impossible!"
"Is he crazy?" Lin Su asked, looking at him.
Yu Shu sneered:
“He was smart from a young age. When he was studying in the palace, he was always praised by Lord Xing. He looked down on Yu Wen for being stubborn and self-willed, on Yu Hua for being absurd and unrestrained, and on you for being naive.”
"But he can accept losing to any one of you."
"He could even accept losing to Xiaotong!"
The woman's voice was full of laughter:
"But he can't accept losing to me."
"Losing to a woman who is not loved by her father and whose only value is to get married."
Yu Shu clapped her hands with a smile:
"This is... insane!"
"Alright!" Yu Shu clapped her hands lightly, and many people walked into the courtyard. Each of them was carrying a jar of kerosene.
As soon as they came in, they started splashing water on the floor.
Amidst the blazing fire, Yu Shu looked at Lin Su:
"Your Majesty, we should go!"
