457. He is back

As early as when Wei Guoyong died.

Duke Wei got the news.

In the small temple deep inside Duke Wei's mansion, there are soul tablets placed one by one.

When Wei Yanqing died, his soul card was torn into pieces, representing his death.

At this time, another soul tablet shattered.

It is Wei Guoyong's.

"Masao, what's going on?"

Duke Wei Guo stood in the small temple with a gloomy face and asked Wei Zhengxiong behind him.

"Father, I come here every day to check the soul card, but today I found that Guoyong's soul card was broken."

Wei Zhengxiong also looked horrified.

He is the father of Wei Yanqing and Wei Guoyong, and he is more sad than anyone else at this time.

"Yan Qing is our future. He died in the hands of the Ninth Prince. Now only Guoyong is left. But now, even Guoyong is dead?"

Duke Wei shouted angrily, and the air suddenly exploded, and the soul cards on the altar table were trembling.

Wei Zhengxiong was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe, but he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.

After all, this is his own son.

"I asked Guoyong to go to Lingzhou with the Queen's instructions, conquer the Qin family and suppress the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, and also inquire about the Battle of Yunhai Bay, but he died unexpectedly. Could it be the Qin family!"

Duke Wei raised his head slightly, his eyes flashing coldly.

"Father, no way. The Marquis of Qin is famous for being a wallflower, and he has always favored the Queen. Even if he doesn't want to surrender, he shouldn't dare to kill Guoyong."

Wei Zhengxiong looked confused, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke quickly.

Qin Shijin's character is well known to everyone.

Moreover, if Wei Guoyong is killed, he will openly oppose Duke Wei and the Queen.

I'm afraid Qin Shijin doesn't have the courage yet.

"If it's not the Qin family, then who is it? This time I sent Mr. Gu to follow me. With him here, even a strong man in the Imperial Martial Realm can at least run away."

Duke Wei frowned, deeply puzzled.

He didn't think about Xiao Changfeng.

After all, the news of Xiao Changfeng's death in the South China Sea was known to everyone, and it was impossible for him to doubt a dead person.

"Send someone to Lingzhou to ask Qin Shijin. I want to see who dares to go against me."

Duke Wei no longer guessed, and directly gave the order to send people there.

"yes!"

Wei Zhengxiong left quickly to arrange the matter.

However, in the next few days, Wei Guogong felt an inexplicable uneasiness.

"Zhengxiong, is there any news about the people going to Lingzhou?"

Duke Wei quickly found Wei Zhengxiong and took the initiative to ask about the matter.

However, Wei Zhengxiong shook his head.

"Father, I have sent three waves of people to Lingzhou, but so far, not a single message has been sent back. It's like nothing has been heard yet."

Wei Zhengxiong was also in a depressed mood. After Wei Yanqing died, many things piled up on him, making him extremely busy.

“I’m afraid something really happened in Lingzhou!”

Duke Wei stood up and looked into the distant sky, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"Father, are you saying that the Marquis of Qin has turned to His Majesty's side?"

Wei Zhengxiong took a breath of cold air, with a look of shock in his eyes.

"Qin Shijin is timid and timid, and he has the temper of a wallflower. I don't think he will fall to Your Majesty. After all, the entire Jiuzhou is basically in our hands now. Even if he falls to Your Majesty, it will be difficult to change the overall situation. , He should understand this very well.”

The doubts in Duke Wei's heart continued to deepen.

He didn't understand what made Qin Shijin so decisive. This was not like his usual style.

"Father, could it be that His Majesty also sent people to Lingzhou?"

Wei Zhengxiong carefully proposed an idea of ​​his.

However, Duke Wei shook his head.

"Zhengxiong, you think of our Majesty too simply."

"Under the pressure of the Zhenwu Saint and the Empress, Your Majesty has been forbearing and accumulating strength for these years. How can he lose the big because of small things? For him, a mere Lingzhou is just an abandoned son. Even the entire Jiuzhou cannot be shaken at all. His heartstrings."

Duke Wei knew very well how terrifying Emperor Wu was.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Queen and the Empress to use all their strength to suppress it.

He knew very well that without Zhenwu Saint's hanging sword, even he and the Queen would not be able to withstand Emperor Wu's attack.

"Since Your Majesty did not send anyone to Lingzhou, and Qin Shijin had no reason to turn to Your Majesty, what exactly happened?"

The doubts in Wei Zhengxiong's heart not only did not diminish, but continued to deepen.

And Duke Wei's eyes flickered, not knowing what to do.

"It seems that there is a big fish stirring up the situation. Zhengxiong, I have been paying close attention to other places recently. I can't let go of any small details."

Wei Guogong was scheming and sensed something was wrong, so he immediately ordered Wei Zhengxiong to do this.

"No matter who dares to go against me, I will destroy him."

…

A few days later, Wei Zhengxiong quickly came to the small courtyard and found Duke Wei.

"Father, a strange thing happened in Qingzhou recently."

Wei Zhengxiong left other matters to his second brother in the past two days, and he devoted himself to searching for news, big and small, and finally got the results.

"explain!"

Duke Wei was lying on a red rocking chair, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

"The Yun family in the southern part of Qingzhou was supposed to be suppressed by thirteen families. However, there was a sudden reversal recently. Instead, all thirteen families were exterminated by the Yun family. Now the Yun family is the only one."

Wei Zhengxiong opened his mouth and told the news about the Yun family.

This matter was too big to be concealed.

"The Yun family? Is this the Yun family who has an affair with the Sifang Chamber of Commerce?"

To Duke Wei, the Yun family was just a small family that could be destroyed with a snap of a finger. If it wasn't related to the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn't even be able to remember it.

"That's right, it's the Yun family. I heard that the original elixir was also made by the Yun family and the Sifang Chamber of Commerce."

Wei Zhengxiong nodded.

Pill?

The Yun family?

Sifang Chamber of Commerce?

Duke Wei suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes extremely sharp.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Zhengxiong was surprised and didn't know what his father had thought.

"The Ninth Prince is Master Xiao. This Yun family must also be related to the Ninth Prince. However, he suddenly reversed course and destroyed thirteen families. There may be a big secret in this."

Duke Wei had a keen mind and sensed something was wrong.

"Father, are you saying that the Ninth Prince is back?"

Wei Zhengxiong trembled all over and made a guess in a trembling voice.

"I don't know. You should inquire about this news carefully. If he really comes back, he will definitely not be able to hide it."

Duke Wei spoke in a deep voice with a serious gaze.

If he really comes back alive.

That would be troublesome!

Before Wei Zhengxiong could figure it out, a shocking news suddenly spread throughout the entire Dawu Dynasty.

Ma Yuyang was killed, Mo Ruyu died, and Qingzhou was once again in the hands of Zhou Zhenghao.

There is an important figure in this matter.

That is Xiao Changfeng, who is believed to have been buried in the South China Sea.

For a time, the entire Eastern Region was boiling again.

The Ninth Prince...is really back!
