272 Confrontation
"Uncle Ge, Emperor Xue Ye is seriously ill. There have been rumors spreading around Tian Dou City regarding the succession to the throne. It is turbulent. I wonder what Uncle Ge's plans are?"
Dugu Feng and the Ge family father and son sat down as host and guest, and then asked directly.
Ge Long thought to himself that as expected, Dugu Feng must have a purpose for coming here at this sensitive time.
He thought for a moment and said, "As a military marshal, it is my duty to maintain the stability of the army. The more critical the moment, the easier it is for other forces to take advantage of it.
Nephew, please share your thoughts!"
Dugu Feng was not polite and said directly: "To be honest with you, Uncle Ge, I just walked out of the Prince's Mansion.
Our Dugu family supports the crown prince to inherit the throne.
I am very angry about the rumors in the market. They actually say that Emperor Xue Ye was poisoned. My father checks Emperor Xue Ye every month. My Dugu family knows best whether he is poisoned or not.
Emperor Xue Ye's health has been deteriorating over the past decade. If he had been poisoned, he would have exploded long ago.
How is it possible to last so long?
Someone must be trying to take advantage of the situation and frame the prince.
My guess is that someone in the royal family covets the throne and wants to use this to undermine the prince's prestige.
The current situation is not suitable for internal fighting in the royal family. The crown prince is the most suitable person to succeed the throne. We must not give the Xingluo Empire and the Spirit Hall an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Dugu Feng showed his anger.
The rumors in the market question the Dugu family's authority in using poison, which is really hateful.
The Dugu family has already said that Emperor Xue Ye was not poisoned, which means he was not poisoned.
"Brother Feng, calm down. Prince Xuexing is also confused. Emperor Xueye has been ill for a long time. The healing spirit master has seen him, and Sect Master Ning has also treated him. But he just doesn't want to believe it and keeps being suspicious!"
Ge Ying directly stood on Dugu Feng's side.
He believed Dugu Feng's words very much.
The main reason is that the Dugu family has absolutely no reason to persecute Emperor Xue Ye.
Moreover, the Dugu family has never been involved in political affairs, and it is impossible for them to conceal Emperor Xue Ye's illness for Xue Qinghe.
Ge Ying couldn't understand why Prince Xuexing would suspect the Crown Prince.
In his impression, the prince was very qualified.
Apart from the crown prince, Avalanche has no right to inherit the throne!
Goron also nodded slightly.
He was not as naive as his son, but he was sure of one thing: the fight between heaven and earth could not be disrupted.
Dugu Feng's attitude represents the attitude of the Dugu family and even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
What's more, Ning Fengzhi is the prince's teacher.
Prince Xuexing is overestimating his own capabilities by trying to deal with the Crown Prince.
"What do you plan to do, nephew?" asked Ge Long.
"Prince Xuexing relies on it to mobilize part of the army. I hope Uncle Ge can stabilize the strength of the army. Without the crown prince's order, it will be a chaos!" Dugu Feng directly cut off the source of the problem.
Goron breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not attack Prince Xuexing directly.
The Ge family is different from other soul master forces. They are closely tied to the royal family.
Most of the Ge family's soul masters serve in the army and the Royal Soul Master Corps.
He had a very good relationship with Prince Xuexing, and he didn't want to see Prince Xuexing end up in a miserable situation.
Ge Long sighed and said, "I won't let Xue Xing mobilize the army!"
Dugu Feng got a satisfactory answer and felt relieved.
"Report, Marshal, Prince Xuexing is mobilizing the heavy armored infantry!"
Suddenly, a soul master in a general's uniform walked in.
Ge Long's face suddenly turned dark.
It was true that as soon as Prince Xuexing was mentioned, he took action.
"What is he going to do!" Goron shouted.
"Prince Xuexing said that the poison in His Majesty's body is colorful, and he wants to capture Yang Wudi from the Pozhi clan to detoxify His Majesty!" the general continued.
"You are really stubborn!" Dugu Feng said coldly.
"Let's go. I want to see who dares to move without my order!"
Ge Long walked out headfirst.
Dugu Feng and Ge Ying also followed behind.
As soon as they walked out of the Ge Mansion, they received the latest news that Prince Xuexing had the military token of Emperor Xue Ye.
Five thousand heavy armored infantrymen have been mobilized and are rushing to the Li clan.
Moreover, Prince Xuexing was originally the commander of the city guards, and more city guards were also being mobilized.
The three of them did not hesitate and also rushed to the Li clan.
Outside the gate of the Li clan.
The atmosphere became solemn again.
Opposite the mansion, several rows of giant crossbows emit cold light, ready to be fired at any time.
Behind the giant crossbow, infantrymen wearing heavy armor surrounded the gate of the mansion tightly.
The rest of the city defense forces were so numerous that they could not be seen at a glance.
This was the second time the Li clan was surrounded.
Titan, Bai He and Niu Gao all negotiated with Prince Xuexing in a somewhat fearful manner.
They also didn't expect Prince Xuexing to be so decisive.
I originally thought that if I delayed it for a while, if Emperor Xue Ye died, the matter would be over.
As a result, the army of Snow Star King arrived.
"Your Excellency, Yang Wudi was poisoned when he was refining the medicine, and his soul power is unstable. It's not that I'm unwilling to cooperate with you.
Since Your Excellency the Prince is here, you can investigate it yourself!"
Titan argued.
This reason was just something he casually gave to Prince Xuexing, but now Prince Xuexing has come to him.
That would only make Yang Wudi feel wronged and let him get really hurt.
Prince Xuexing was furious: "Your Majesty's injuries are critical, and the one who poisoned him is from the Poyi clan. How dare Yang Wudi, as the clan leader, escape?
As long as he is not dead today, he will follow me into the palace immediately!
I'll count to three. If Yang Wudi doesn't show up, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Prince Xuexing is very decisive.
Titan suddenly became anxious, it seemed that he could not delay any longer.
"Since your majesty's injury is more urgent, I will let Yang Wudi come out now!" Titan decisively admitted defeat.
Prince Xuexing is completely unreasonable. It's like a scholar meeting a soldier and there's nothing he can do to explain himself.
He immediately asked his son Tainuo to call Yang Wudi.
Prince Xuexing was satisfied then. If I don't show you some of my power, you won't know my strength.
But he wasn't happy for long.
There was chaos behind the city guards.
"The prince has arrived!"
Qian Renxue is here, and she's here with great fanfare.
The Royal Soul Master Corps also brought a large number of troops.
"Let him come over!" Prince Xuexing shouted coldly.
There was another person next to him, that was Dugu Bo.
This is his confidence.
Dugu Bo is on his side, so what can happen if Xue Qinghe comes.
The city guards made way for Qian Renxue to approach.
"Uncle, why are you doing this? By making such a big fuss, how will the spirit masters of Tiandou City view our Tiandou Imperial Family? Who will dare to work for our Tiandou Imperial Family in the future?
I know you are very nervous about your father's condition, but you can't do anything rash!" Qian Renxue said with a bitter smile.
"Qinghe, you want to stop me? I want to arrest Yang Wudi. His clan member Yang Wushuang poisoned your two brothers and poisoned His Majesty.
Now I need him to detoxify His Majesty!"
Prince Xue Xing put a big hat on him. He didn't believe that Xue Qinghe would dare to go against the world's condemnation and stop Yang Wudi from detoxifying Emperor Xue Ye in public.
