Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 2047 - 83: The Princely Heir’s Last Stand, Zhang Shicheng’s Backstabbing (2)
Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
What was the result?
Once the old man was done, the Prime Minister sought his own path, and the Prince said that as long as he performed well, he could remove the "acting" title from his name.
Ha ha ha, just thinking about it is very refreshing, isn’t it? Soon, he would no longer be the acting Ruyang King but the real Ruyang King, completely inheriting the old man’s title.
And then there’s Kuo Kuo, so pathetic, like a lost dog trembling with fear. If he hadn’t run fast, he would have been annihilated by now.
But there’s no rush. Wait until Lord Wuxiang returns from the Great Capital and lets the Prime Minister send Master Dharma Ba, the great student of the Living Buddha, over.
Then, he could directly dispatch troops to obliterate Jiujiang Prefecture.
That old thing in Jiujiang Prefecture, really, just because he’s Kuo Kuo’s father-in-law, he dares defy the imperial decree. Fine, if you dare defy the decree, just see if I won’t cut you down!
When the Master arrives and takes control of Jiangnan, when the great army advances into Jiujiang Prefecture, I will directly cut down your entire magistrate’s family.
I heard Kuo Kuo’s sister-in-law is quite captivating. I’ll suffer a little loss and take her into my house as a concubine, and enjoy myself, ha ha ha...
Thinking of this, Sharlu felt extremely relieved. After all, what could be more enjoyable than seeing your adversary wanting but unable to kill you?
But now he can’t do anything. Lord Wuxiang took the army north to support the Prime Minister. As long as the Prime Minister wins this war and kills the rebel leader, Little Ming King, he can send Master Dharma Ba here.
Then, he can pursue his grand ambitions.
As for now, let the revelry continue.
Sharlu thought about it, looking at the enchanting dancer in front of him, already planning in his heart how many beauties to accompany him in games tonight.
Just as Sharlu was feeling delighted, suddenly he saw a messenger rushing in from outside.
Behind the messenger was a Great Monk wearing a red Foreign Monk’s robe, known as the Flame Monk Jiukong, the third disciple of the Living Buddha!
At this moment, following the messenger, Sharlu immediately greeted warmly, "Ha ha, Master Jiukong, how come you have time to visit me today? Please sit down, have some wine!"
Sharlu warmly received Jiukong, and upon hearing this, Jiukong looked at Sharlu, "Sharlu, something has happened."
Upon hearing Jiukong’s words, the music in the room immediately stopped, and Sharlu looked at Jiukong in astonishment, "What could trouble the Master to personally come here?"
After hearing this, Jiukong looked at the messenger, "You speak."
Once these words were spoken, the messenger immediately said, "Reporting to the Prince, the Prince has returned."
"What?"
Sharlu was baffled by the messenger’s cryptic words. What are you saying?
Upon hearing these words, the messenger immediately replied, "Reporting to the Prince, according to reports from the front line, the Old Prince has returned! He is currently in Lu’an and will arrive in Longxing Prefecture in two days."
"What? The Old Prince, my father?"
Sharlu’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the messenger, who firmly nodded, "Yes, it’s the Old Prince, and scouts from various paths report that along the way, government soldiers have surrendered upon seeing the Old Prince."
"Surrendering at first sight!"
Upon hearing this, Sharlu’s face turned ashen, and then he swiftly looked at Jiukong, "Master Jiukong, what’s the situation with the Prime Minister? Didn’t he agree to keep my father trapped in the Capital? What’s going on now? Why is my father appearing in Jiangnan territory, why?"
Sharlu questioned Jiukong, and upon hearing this, Jiukong looked at Sharlu, sighed, "I just received the news, the situation in the Capital has failed, the Emperor is furious, and has exiled the Prime Minister!"
"What? The Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is down too?"
At this moment, Sharlu looked at Jiukong, his face filled with lifelessness. This sudden blow had completely drained him of any will to resist, and he wanted to surrender.
Jiukong sighed, "Things are indeed a bit sudden, even this old monk didn’t expect it."
Upon hearing this, Sharlu laughed, "You didn’t expect it, you didn’t expect it, and now it’s good, you’ve put me on the spot!"
At this point, Sharlu paused, took the wine glass from the table, and continued to drink, "Who stopped the music? Play more music, dance more!"
Upon hearing this, the dancers all snapped back to reality and immediately started dancing again.
The music started again.
At this point, Sharlu took a wine cup from a nearby beauty but hadn’t brought it to his lips yet when, with a thud, it smashed onto the ground.
"Damn it, stop dancing! Get out, all of you!"
Sharlu’s reaction stunned all the dancers, but they quickly reacted and began to frantically flee out of the room.
At this moment, Sharlu was furious and swept all the exquisite dishes off the table, even flipping the table.
Seeing Sharlu like this, Jiukong said, "Things haven’t reached an irreparable state; there’s still a possibility of remedy."
Upon hearing this, Sharlu looked at Jiukong, "Are you kidding me? Remedy, with what?"
Jiukong said, "We still have thirty thousand White Deer Army, and during this time, we’ve swapped out most of the personnel within. If we issue the command, relying on the high city walls in front, we might resist for a time."
"And then?"
Sharlu looked at Jiukong, Jiukong said, "Afterward, we can withdraw with the thirty thousand White Deer Army, leave Jiangnan, and worst-case scenario, return to the Great Capital. My master is in the Great Capital, and even if the Ruyang King is formidable, he would never dare confront my master."
