Chapter 404 The Young Singer's Journey 73
Xiao Yu frowned, got up, walked around the large table, squatted down next to Su Zhe, and gently pressed his index and middle fingers together on Su Zhe's wrist.
A stream of pure true energy slowly flowed into Su Zhe's body, gently meandering through his meridians.
After the true energy circulated through Su Zhe's body, Xiao Yu's brows furrowed involuntarily, and his expression became serious.
At this moment, Su Zhe's internal condition far exceeded his expectations; it could be described as extremely bad.
Not only were his eight extraordinary meridians severely damaged, but an extremely violent true energy was also rampaging through his body, like a wild beast out of control, attempting to tear apart every inch of his skin and every bone.
If Su Zhe hadn't possessed exceptional strength and astonishing willpower, he would probably have died long ago from the devastation of this violent true energy.
Xiao Yu's gaze darkened, and he directly expelled the violent true energy from Su Zhe's body, then carefully repaired Su Zhe's damaged meridians.
After a short while, Su Zhe's injuries finally stabilized, and his complexion improved significantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu slowly withdrew his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Su Zhe, who was unconscious, suddenly coughed violently, his body trembling slightly, and gradually regained consciousness.
Seeing Su Zhe wake up, Su Muyu was overjoyed and carried him to a chair: "Uncle Zhe, how are you feeling now?"
Su Zhe slowly looked around, and the scene before him gradually became clear. After a while, he finally recognized who the three people in front of him were. He didn't bother with formalities and said in a weak but urgent voice, "Your Highness, Nan Jue... something has happened to Nan Jue."
Xiao Yu's eyes flashed. Although he had already guessed that Nan Jue was in trouble, now that Su Zhe had confirmed it, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity.
However, considering Su Zhe's current physical condition, he could only put aside his curiosity and comfort him, saying, "I already guessed that Nan Jue was in trouble, but you are seriously injured right now, so you should rest first."
Although he also wanted to know what had happened to Nan Jue, Su Zhe's injuries were too severe and he needed to be treated as soon as possible.
Su Zhe shook his head, stopping Su Muyu from carrying him to heal his wounds, and then quickly explained the situation in Nanjue.
"His uncle, Prince Hong, launched a rebellion in the name of eliminating the tyrant and avenging the late emperor and Crown Prince Ao Yu. However, the rebellion was suppressed overnight, and his head was displayed at the palace gate."
After that, Emperor Nanjue seemed to become a different person. He began to vigorously rectify the court, eliminate dissidents, and purge spies from various countries within the capital. Within half a day, the capital of Nanjue was already awash in blood.
The people who were ordered to infiltrate the Dark River were also discovered. They were intercepted by the Southern Master and Grand Eunuch Lü Zhongguan while trying to escape. Only I managed to escape, but I was still seriously injured.
besides……"
At this point, Su Zhe gasped for breath, clearly exhausted. But he still forced himself to continue, "In addition, I have also heard that the Emperor of Nanjue... has begun to mobilize troops to the border between the two countries, and has even summoned people from the Nanjue martial arts world, such as Zhaiyue Jun, Tantai Po, Xiaotianzi and other martial arts masters, who have also rushed to the border one after another."
"Nan Jue is likely... to launch a military campaign against Bei Li soon."
After saying these words, Su Zhe seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped weakly into the chair. If Su Muyu hadn't been there to support him in time, he probably would have fallen to the ground long ago.
Xiao Yu frowned and fell into deep thought.
Wu Qinghuan's current temperament and behavior are completely different from before. But what caused such a dramatic change in him?
Before such a drastic change occurred, did Wu Qinghuan exhibit any unusual behavior?
Su Zhe tried hard to recall, he thought for a moment, and then slowly shook his head: "No, if I had to say there was anything unusual, it would be that before he ordered the killing of Crown Prince Ao Yu, he had summoned the Grand Preceptor of Nan Jue alone."
But this isn't surprising, considering the matter of Crown Prince Ao Yu is of great importance, and besides, he often summoned the Imperial Advisor to discuss countermeasures in the past.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu did not stop there. He continued to ask, "Then, after Wu Qinghuan's personality changed drastically, did the Grand Preceptor of the Southern Jue do anything unusual or behave in any way?"
Su Zhe shook his head again, looking increasingly exhausted: "No, at least before I fled Nanjue, I didn't notice anything unusual about the Grand Preceptor of Nanjue. However, now that the situation in Nanjue is in chaos, I have no way of knowing whether the Grand Preceptor has taken any action."
Xiao Yu nodded, then channeled another burst of true energy into Su Zhe before instructing Su Muyu to take him away for proper treatment.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, strolled back to the desk and sat down.
He had originally planned to deal with Ye Xiaoying slowly and take over the army gradually, but now that Wu Qinghuan had suddenly gone mad and the situation between the two countries was urgent, he had no time to pay attention to many details and had to arrange everything as soon as possible.
The plan against Ye Xiaoying can now be terminated.
He decided to take a more direct and brutal approach—to let Ye Xiaoying die on the battlefield, thus giving Ye Xiaoying a "dignified" ending.
Then we can bring out Xiao Lingchen to stabilize the morale of the Langya army.
However, before that, Xiao Lingchen must be informed of Ye Xiaoying's intention to rebel; otherwise, Xiao Lingchen may not cooperate with his actions and may even intervene to stop him.
As for how to inform Xiao Lingchen about this, Xiao Yu already had a plan in mind.
All that is needed is to deliver Xiao Lingchen to Ye Xiaoying, and Ye Xiaoying, in order to gain Xiao Lingchen's support, will naturally take the initiative to reveal everything.
As for the possibility that Xiao Lingchen might actually be persuaded by Ye Xiaoying...
This is simply not possible.
Although Xiao Ruofeng harbored an infinite longing for the martial world, he also possessed a strong sense of righteousness.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have willingly died after his failed fishing attempt, in order to stabilize the court.
Under his guidance and influence, Xiao Se and Xiao Lingchen, while yearning for the martial world, also inherited his unwavering commitment to righteousness.
Although both of their sense of righteousness was rather hollow and self-centered, and somewhat disregarded the lives of others.
However, when faced with matters concerning national security, such as Ye Xiaoying's attempt to rebel, they would certainly set aside personal feelings and choose to uphold the justice in their hearts.
Most importantly, Xiao Ruofeng was falsely accused of treason and died back then. If Xiao Lingchen really joined forces with Ye Xiaoying to rebel, it would undoubtedly confirm this matter.
At that time, the stain on Xiao Ruofeng's reputation will never be washed away.
For all these reasons, Xiao Lingchen would never be easily swayed by Ye Xiaoying's words.
"Wuxin, go and tell Long Xie that the plan has changed. Tell him to send Xiao Lingchen directly to Ye Xiaoying as soon as possible," Xiao Yu said to Wuxin.
"Okay." Wuxin nodded, knowing the matter was urgent, and without saying anything more, turned and left.
