At this moment, in a secluded inn in the Dongsheng Kingdom.
Tian Gang said to the young man in front of him, "Young Master, Nangong Liuyun has already rushed to the imperial mausoleum. What should we do next?"
After hearing this, Meng Yu sneered and then said, "There's no need to do anything. We just need to wait."
Hearing this, Tian Gang couldn't help frowning. In his impression, the young man in front of him was not such a patient person, unless he already had some plan in mind.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "Does the Young Master have some plan?"
But Meng Yu didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Do you still remember your younger sister, Princess Shangyang?"
As soon as he heard the words "Princess Shangyang", his heart couldn't help trembling. But then he said with a sideways glance, "She's dead!"
In his heart, his younger sister was his closest relative, but she was still taken away by the injustice of the world.
But Meng Yu chuckled a few times, as if he knew something. He said, "No! She's not dead. And now she's living in the Dongsheng Palace."
"How is that possible?!" Tian Gang asked loudly in disbelief. Back then, he clearly heard the news of his younger sister's death, and the imperial court even held a funeral. That was why he lost all hope in the Helian family.
After hearing this, Meng Yu shook his head and said, "She didn't die when she escaped from the Western Regions. Instead, she was saved by your former emperor and hidden for ten years. And now she has a seven - year - old son by her side. Do you know whose blood he is?"
"Seven years old? Are you sure it's seven years old?!" Tian Gang asked with wide - open eyes.
He remembered that his younger sister's husband died ten years ago. How could there be a seven - year - old son now? Could it be...
He didn't dare to think about the rest. But Meng Yu seemed to see what was on his mind and then said, "You guessed right. That child is the son of the current emperor of the Southern Neighboring Kingdom!"
He said each word clearly. This almost made the man in front of him fall to the ground. His face was full of disbelief, which then turned into remorse.
"She's not dead. She's really not dead!" He shouted, and tears rolled down his cheeks. After all these years, he never thought he would still have a relative.
But Meng Yu didn't care about his distraught appearance. He took a sip of tea and then said, "What do you think will happen if I pass this news to the Second Prince Ye of the Southern Neighboring Kingdom now..."
"No... No way! Absolutely not!" Tian Gang immediately retorted loudly. He knew that if this happened, the Second Prince Ye would surely not spare the mother and son.
After all, he was the only heir to the Southern Neighboring Kingdom. Now that a younger brother suddenly appeared, it would surely become the biggest obstacle on his way to the throne. He would naturally do everything he could to get rid of the obstacle.
Seeing the man in front of him shouting desperately, Meng Yu couldn't help laughing. Then he asked, "Left Envoy Tian, didn't you say you wanted to sever all ties with Helian Qi? Why are you still worried about your younger sister now? She's living in the harem of the Dongsheng Kingdom!"
"No, Shangyang must also hate the Helian family. She's just trapped in the harem. As long as she sees me, she will surely leave with me. So, Young Master, please don't hurt her!" Tian Gang almost begged.
What he heard today was something he never dared to think about before. He had dreamed of seeing his younger sister again. Now that his dream had come true, he must find a way to protect the mother and son.
Meng Yu told him this not really to threaten him, but to make him remember who his master was.
He also expected that the always arrogant Second Prince of the Southern Neighboring Kingdom would surely disdain his cooperation request, and he didn't really want to cooperate with him.
He just regarded the Second Prince as a sharp weapon. Once he invaded the Dongsheng Kingdom, he would lose half of the people's hearts. Then, if he pushed the young little prince forward, there would surely be people to support him. By then, all the situations would be under his control.
Thinking of this, a smile curled up on his lips. Then he said to the man in front of him, "Left Envoy Tian, don't worry. I naturally won't hurt the people you want to protect. I just want to remind you. Moreover, our great plan is not yet accomplished. How can we cause chaos privately?"
Only then did Tian Gang realize that the young man in front of him just wanted to give him a warning. He was ashamed that he, being so old, couldn't even see through his words.
After thinking this, he frowned tightly, then bowed his hands and walked out of the room.
Meng Yu, who was still in the room, was sipping tea slowly. The smile on his lips deepened, and his heart was filled with ripples.
It was just the beginning. His plan had just started to turn. Now, he just had to watch his pieces move on their own...
While he was deep in thought, the window was suddenly blown open. Then he saw a dark figure jump in. He wasn't panicked when he saw this. Instead, he poured another cup of tea into the empty cup on the table and then said, "Brother Situ, it's really good to see you. You still like to jump through windows."
It turned out that the black - clothed man was Situ Qing!
He hooked his lips and sat on the stool. He picked up the cup of tea and then asked, "How's the matter going?"
"Don't worry. You should trust my ability, right?!" Meng Yu replied confidently with raised eyebrows.
But Situ Qing frowned and asked again, "Does anyone suspect us? Does Tian Gang suspect me?"
"No. It's the lifelong order of our Golden Wolf Guards to serve your Situ family. And this secret can only be known by the family heads of each generation. Even though I was brought up by Tian Gang, I'm capable of making him not suspect. " Meng Yu continued with a cold look in his eyes.
Originally, the Golden Wolf Guards were the guards raised by the previous dynasty. Later, the previous dynasty was taken over by Helian Qi, and only Situ Qing's branch remained. At that time, all the secret guards took an oath of loyalty and served the Situ family from generation to generation.
However, later, the Golden Wolf Guards became more and more powerful and did many excessive things, so they were targeted by the royal family and finally wiped out. But in the end, their relationship with the previous dynasty was never discovered.
Now, Meng Yu had re - established the new Golden Wolf Guards. They still served the previous dynasty, but he didn't let anyone other than the Golden Wolf Guards know their relationship with the previous dynasty, including Tian Gang. Even though he was the left envoy, there were still many secrets he didn't know.
Hearing this, Situ Qing nodded, indicating that he was still quite confident in Meng Yu's work.
