C475 Prince in a Fury

The pavilions, pavilions, and surrounding pavilions were all common sight within the imperial city. However, to be able to form a luxurious courtyard on a sufficient scale wasn't something that anyone could possess.

Inside the resplendent courtyard, everything that entered his sight seemed noble and luxurious. Any one of the furnishings was enough to make a penniless beggar suddenly become a rich man.

Within the courtyard, the birds were singing and dancing. The sleeves were graceful, and the sounds of laughter were as clear as orioles. This caused the originally silent courtyard to become extremely noisy.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the center of this group of women. He was wearing a jade belt and a python robe, making him look quite handsome. However, if one were to examine him in detail, they would be able to clearly see the hidden sinister energy between his eyebrows. This kind of temperament, coupled with those sharp and crafty eyes that were like an eagle's, made people feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Take part, Your Highness!" A man dressed in black walked in and knelt on one knee. He lowered his head since he entered, not daring to look at the naked dancers.

"What is it? Didn't you see This King was busy? " The middle-aged man stared at the girls. Although he said he was busy, it was impossible to tell that he was busy. Of course, this meant that he was in quite a good mood!

"Reporting to Your Highness, it's ?" The man in black looked at the women around him, and then swallowed what he was about to say.

"All of you, go down first!" The prince could see the worry in the man in black's eyes. He knew that the man in black had secrets for him, so he waved his hand and dismissed all the singers and dancers.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The leading lady bowed to the prince and left the hall with the other dancers.

"Speak!" When all the girls had retreated, and the sound of their footsteps could no longer be heard, the Prince opened his mouth to speak.

"Yes, Reporting to the Duke, we have received news from the north that Shi Haowen and the rest have gathered with the great army!" The black clothed man paused for a moment before reporting.

"What?" Great! This is the last news I've heard in days! "Send orders that they must send the silver back safely, and do not reveal their whereabouts along the way!" After the prince heard this, he stood up abruptly. He was so excited that it was hard to hide his excitement. He was even extremely excited.

"But, Your Highness ?" The man in black looked somewhat embarrassed as he spoke hesitantly to the prince. He couldn't help but complain in his heart that the prince had been too impulsive. Before he could finish his words, the prince himself had already become excited. How was he going to continue with his speech?

"What's wrong? Is there anything else? " The prince still had a smile on his face. He had been waiting for this news for days, and the dust had finally settled. How could he not be excited? Seeing the man in black's unnatural expression, he did not criticize him and instead asked with an unprecedented tone of gentleness.

"Yes, something unexpected has happened!" The man in black gritted his teeth and braced himself to continue.

"An accident? What do you mean? Tell me the details! Do you want me to ask you a little bit? " The prince was stunned for a moment before anxiously asking.

Looking at the man in black's expression and actions, His Highness faintly felt that he was overjoyed, perhaps things might not go as smoothly as he had expected, but in the end, the Prince did not think too much, at most, there would only be a few small flaws, and he did not dare to trouble himself with these flaws, as it would not end up like this.

"Your Highness, this lowly one knows his crimes!" The man in black quickly apologized.

"Speak!" The prince shouted in anger.

"Yes, Your Highness!" "Even though they've reunited, but ?" The man in black swallowed his saliva and continued speaking.

"But what?" the Prince asked.

"But the silver was lost?" The man in black answered.

Upon hearing this answer, the prince instantly felt as if the sky and earth were spinning, and his head was' buzzing 'as if he had been struck by lightning.

His Royal Highness had thought of all sorts of bad possibilities, but had never thought that he would lose money! At first, only he and the county governor of the Fengyang City knew about it. Following that, he had sent a small group of people to escort Silver Coin north. He had even informed the private forces hidden in the north to go support him!

How could he lose the silver in the end with such a flawless arrangement? This is going to be the most puzzling event of the year!

He probably couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he could only hear the Prince stammering, "What!? This bunch of idiots! What are you doing! He couldn't even do this little bit of work! They all deserve to die! "

While he was cursing, he was throwing everything that he could move at his side at the same time. Looking at the mess on the floor, his anger was still unquenchable, so much so that he could not vent it out.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The man in black asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? Search! Do you know who did it? " the Prince asked angrily.

"It is said that it was made by someone from Blood Illusion! The general has sent people to intercept them! " The man in black hurriedly explained.

Hearing these words, the King was stunned. The Blood Illusion Valley was not some normal small fry in the martial arts world, they had a wide range of influence and even extended beyond the empire.

To put it crudely, if not for the fact that the Empire had worshippers and armies, according to the strength of the Blood Illusion Valley, they would not be much weaker than the royal family.

Even so, the prince was still puzzled, so he asked: "Blood Illusion Valley? Do they have the guts to rob my money? "

In recent years, all the great sects and sects in the martial arts world, in order to obtain a certain territory in the imperial city, had almost put in a lot of effort to rope in or befriend the powerful nobles of the imperial government. Even if they had to spend a lot of money, they would choose to rob the powerful officials of the imperial government of their silver taels.

Yet, the people from the Blood Illusion Valley were aiming at his head. Wasn't this equivalent to seeking death? Even if they were given more courage, they might not have made such a choice. It was really puzzling.

"They probably don't know that it's your money, otherwise they wouldn't dare to give it to you even if they had ten times the guts." The black-clothed man agreed.

"It's useless to say anything now! Since he knew who did it, it would be easy! Could a monk run away from a temple? I want to let them know what the consequences are for them to make a move on their head! " No matter what motive the Blood Illusion Valley had this time, just based on their greed for the huge amount of money and the results of the robbery, it was enough to sentence them to death and execute them immediately!

"Your Royal Highness, there are still waiting for your instructions! "You see ?" The man in black asked cautiously.

"Tell Wu Gang and the rest to gather their forces and attack Blood Illusion Valley immediately. This time, I want Blood Illusion Valley to pay the price for their actions!" The prince muttered to himself for a while before giving out his orders.

Wu Gang, a very capable and commanding general, was once a brave and intelligent general that guarded the north. He was sent to the palace at the back, and was in charge of training and commanding this private army in the north.

This person was adept at on-the-spot command. His ability to use troops was fluid and flexible, making it hard for people to guard against him! If it wasn't for the fact that Wu Gang was still lacking in terms of the overall situation, it might have been possible for him to have become one of the Empire's famous generals, becoming the Empire's sixth famous general.

But even now, Wu Gang still had the ability to command and control the entire world, and had not lost a single time! He could be considered a formidable opponent that was hard to come by.

"Your Royal Highness, would this make the matter worse?" The man in black comforted her.

If Wu Gang led his army and attacked Blood Illusion Valley, the entire team would probably be discovered by the all-pervasive Surveillance Council while they were still in the middle of their march.

At that time, regardless of how the battle with the Blood Illusion Valley would end, what awaited this troop would be an endless encirclement and annihilation, until all of them were annihilated.

"Hmph, do you think I'm trying to make a fuss out of this? Without this money, the northern troop would not even last a month! " The prince coldly snorted as he spoke.

Because of the bloodshed and cleaning up the imperial city that year, the power of the palace in the imperial city had become extremely weak. The most direct consequence was that the various sources of income were blocked, which greatly limited the financial resources of the mansion.

This made the supply of supplies to the north even more inadequate. At this moment, the most difficult time had arrived. The private army in the north was at the end of their tether. Other weapons were not bad, but the key point was that they had to pay for food.

If the money was not paid in time, it would be useless for the army to remain hidden, because there were only two possibilities waiting for the army. The first was to starve to death, and the second was to cause a mutiny.

But at that time, what awaited them would be endless encirclement and annihilation. They wouldn't even be given a chance to use their swords. If the entire army were to go straight for Blood Illusion Valley, if everything went well, they might be able to make a huge profit and then split into several groups to break out of the encirclement and hide. If things didn't go well, then they could only blame themselves!

"If Surveillance Council finds out, we will be even more passive! When that happens, there will be no place for us in the North! " The man in black continued to persuade him.

"Sigh, tell Wu Gang to be careful and not reveal his whereabouts as much as possible! As for the details, if they are executed, he will be responsible for them! " After pacing back and forth a few times, the Prince gave out a heavy sigh and gave out orders.

"Yes sir!"

"Oh right, get Wu Gang to send someone to inform the other troops to hide on the spot. Furthermore, we have also informed the troops operating at the border that they will leave their camps once they receive the information. They will first go to the Profound Nether Empire to hide for a while. " The prince pondered for a moment before continuing.

"Understood!" This subordinate will inform you right away! "

"Also inform Wu Gang that I want all the people in charge of escorting them. I want their heads!" A cold light flashed across the eyes of the prince as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Yes!" But your highness, the Guard Commander that led the team this time is completely loyal to your highness! Is he ? " The black-clothed man's heart trembled for a moment, before opening his mouth to plead for Guard Commander.

"They don't have the slightest ability to do anything, yet they've already messed up such a small matter!" It was more than enough! For the sake of him following me for so many years, I'll spare his life! Let him lead the guards under Wu Gang and temporarily lead them into Wu Gang's army, as the vanguard to lead the charge for me, if I am lucky enough to survive, I will let bygones be bygones! " The prince looked at the man in black unhappily and replied in disgust.

In the clash of cold weapons, the ones who suffered the most casualties were the men from the forward camp. This arrangement was equivalent to sentencing them to death! Although his words were pleasant to hear, it was a cruel and merciless decision.

"Understood!"

"Let's make the arrangements!"

"Yes sir!"
