Chapter 174 Death of Yan Yuting
Yan Yunzheng forced a smile and said, "Uncle Huang, what does this mean?"
Yan Yuting said indifferently: "Yan Yunzheng never calls me Emperor Uncle, but Third Uncle."
Yan Yunzheng and Chen Dong both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Yunzheng said: "I have grown up and I am the ruler of a country. I am no longer the little brat in front of the emperor's uncle."
Yan Yuting sneered: "There are no outsiders here, do you still want to hide it? You are not Yan Yunzheng, you are his sister!"
Yan Yunzheng's expression suddenly changed.
A cold light flashed in Chen Dong's eyes.
Yuwen Qing looked at Yan Yunzheng in surprise, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
On the day of the imperial examination re-examination, Yan Yunfeng shouted that Yan Yunzheng was a woman.
Sure enough, the person who knows you best is always your enemy.
"Your Majesty, is what Uncle Yan San said true?" Yu Wenqing asked intently.
Yan Yunzheng was completely confused and his face turned pale.
Chen Dong stepped forward slightly and stood in front of Yan Yunzheng.
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. This is something that could shake the foundation of the Great Yan Nation. You don't want the foundation left by your ancestors to fall into the hands of an outsider, do you?" Chen Dong said solemnly.
"General Yuwen, His Majesty is His Majesty, and the promise to the Yuwen family is always valid." Chen Dong said with a smile.
Yuwen Qing looked at Chen Dong deeply. This young eunuch was valued by Yan Yunzheng, so he must be quite capable.
Yan Yuting stared at Chen Dong with eyes as sharp as thunder. "I am talking to His Majesty. What qualifications do you have to interrupt?"
"Eunuchs are ruining the country, you deserve to die!"
Chen Dong's face turned cold, and his hand, which was tucked into his sleeve, subconsciously stroked the cold barrel of the musket.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can knock him down with one shot.
Chen Dong was looking for the right moment to shoot.
"My affairs, uncle, do not need to worry about them." Yan Yunzheng had regained his composure and spoke slowly, "Uncle returned to the capital for Yunfeng's matter. I will not pursue the crime of leaving his post without permission."
Yan Yuting laughed in anger, "It's obvious that my son has discovered your identity, and you are killing people to silence them! Great Yan will be destroyed if it falls into the hands of people like you!"
"Yuwen Qing, come with me and kill this evil woman who is ruining the country and usurping power!"
Yu Wenqing said in a deep voice: "Uncle Yan, there is irrefutable evidence that Yan Yunfeng is plotting treason!"
Yu Wenqing threw the topic to Chen Dong, "Eunuch Chen, why don't you take out the evidence you have?"
Yan Yuting's gaze instantly shifted to Chen Dong, and his hand inadvertently pressed the hilt of the knife.
"When Your Majesty ascended the throne, Prince Jing already had evil intentions. The housekeeper in his mansion recruited the wealthy businessman Li Jie, who provided gold and silver, and Prince Jing provided protection in return. The Minister of Rites is Li Jie's sworn brother, and it was with the support of Prince Jing that he was able to become this minister." Chen Dong took out a confession and handed it to Yan Yuting.
"A year ago, the Ghost Market's Tianbao Pavilion became famous. The owners behind it were the Western Regions, and the shopkeeper was the Hu Ji Hua Feidie. In the past year, Hua Feidie had frequent exchanges with Prince Jing, giving him gold, silver, and women. Prince Jing ordered Li Jie to purchase salt and iron, and then smuggled them to the border and shipped them to the Western Regions. General Yuwen should have heard of this."
Yuwen Qing nodded slightly, "Yuwen Feng has reported this matter. Considering our past friendship, I asked him to turn a blind eye. If Uncle Yan doesn't believe me, I will give you the smuggling route."
Not to mention treason, just smuggling salt and iron and aiding the enemy is enough to get Yan Yunfeng beheaded!
"Since I'm here, I didn't think about going back alive. I'm not satisfied with this explanation." Yan Yuting said resolutely.
"Witch, give me back my son's life!" As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked instantly, and the long sword at his waist slashed towards Chen Dong like a streak of silk.
Yuwen Qing was about to attack, but when he saw that Yan Yuting's target was Chen Dong, he stopped. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
Chen Dong cursed inwardly and had to draw out his dagger to parry.
"when"
Yan Yuting's powerful sword attack was blocked by Chen Dong's short sword.
But the force of the knife was too strong, and Chen Dong couldn't help but take a step back. His palms broke and the short knife flew out of his hand.
He looked up at Yan Yuting, a flash of horror in his eyes.
This brave general in the army is so powerful!
Yan Yuting shouted disdainfully: "Is this all you can do? How could you kill my son?"
Wherever his sword went, it was like a violent storm, sweeping up a huge wave and rushing towards Chen Dong.
Chen Dong gritted his teeth secretly, pulled out his long whip and whipped Yan Yuting.
The long whip was swung, making a sharp sound that tore through the air, and went straight to Yan Yuting's face.
Yan Yuting did not dodge or evade, but just raised his arm slightly, and the blade instantly chopped on the long whip.
After the long whip was bounced away, Yan Yuting grabbed it with one hand, twisted it, and with his thick and powerful palm, he caught the long whip in one go and pulled it hard into his arms.
Chen Dong took advantage of the force and rushed forward, actively rushing towards Yan Yuting.
A cold light flashed in Yan Yuting's eyes, and the blade went straight to Chen Dong's chest!
"General Yuwen, act quickly!" Chen Dong said hurriedly.
Yan Yuting was suddenly startled and subconsciously looked at Yuwen Qing, and the power of his sword involuntarily weakened.
However, Yuwen Qing just stood by and watched, with no intention of taking any action at all.
Yan Yuting's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly realized that he had been deceived. By the time he reacted, it was too late!
When warriors fight, victory or defeat, life or death, is just a matter of a moment!
"bang"
Gunshots rang out.
The bullet pierced Yan Yuting's chest.
Chen Dong said in a deep voice: "This ability is enough."
All the strength in Yan Yuting's body was drained away in an instant. He stared at Chen Dong with lifeless eyes, as if responding to what he said.
"puff"
Yan Yuting's body fell to the ground, his eyes wide open.
Yuwen Qing's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw it clearly this time. The black stick that looked like a fire stick spewed out a ball of blazing hidden weapons, tearing Yan Yuting's chest apart.
If he were to be honest, he would not be sure that he could dodge this sudden attack without being prepared.
The white smoke from the muzzle of the musket slowly dissipated.
Chen Dong pointed the gun at Yu Wenqing and said with a smile: "How powerful is my musket?"
Yu Wenqing took a half step back and said solemnly, "You want to kill me to silence me?"
Chen Dong lowered his gun and showed a relaxed look. "Your Majesty and the Queen are very affectionate and have high hopes for the Yuwen family. How could General Yuwen say such a thing?"
Yuwen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Being pointed at by this unknown hidden weapon just now actually made him feel terrified.
Chen Dong's image in his eyes became mysterious again.
After hearing the gunshot, the Jinyiwei on guard outside immediately surrounded them.
Chen Dong said in a deep voice: "Yan Yuting wanted to avenge Yan Yunfeng and assassinate His Majesty. Fortunately, Yuwen Qing stopped him with thundering means. Now, the traitor has been killed. Carry his body to the burial room and let them father and son reunite!"
Yuwen Qing said: "Wait a minute!"
"Your Majesty, Yan Yuting has served Great Yan in defending the southwest, and he has made great contributions. He deserves a dignified burial! Moreover, he is your majesty's uncle. Your Majesty cannot just dismiss the matter hastily and let the world laugh at him."
Chen Dong looked at Yuwen Qing in confusion.
Yuwen Qing's face was calm, as if he really cared about Yan Yunzheng.
Yan Yunzheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's collect the remains first. We will discuss the burial at the grand court meeting tomorrow."
