Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 191 The East Palace is full of losers
Wang Huai really wanted to go there just now. He could see it with his own eyes and verify his guess.

But he didn't expect that suddenly he was being stared at by so many people, and they were in a hurry to push him out?
What’s even more speechless is that this matter was initiated by the Wang family.

It is conceivable how angry Wang Huai, a member of the Wang family, must be.

These guys, at critical moments, know how to push themselves out to block the bullets.

When nothing happens, I despise myself for being a waste and useless. When something happens, the first thing I think of is to sacrifice myself.

Wang Huai knew too well the character and thoughts of these members of the Wang family.

They want to seize every opportunity to show off.

After all, you, Wang Huai, are also a member of the Wang family. If you go, you will represent the Wang family.

If everything is safe and sound outside, then the prince will be safe this time, and the credit will naturally be attributed to the Wang family in the future.

But if there really is something fishy going on out there, it's no big deal if you, Wang Huai, die.

This is the tragedy of the little people within the aristocratic families.

This is also the reason why Wang Huai cannot stand on the same side as the Wang family.

Seeing Wang Huai in a daze, Wang Laosan scolded him.

"What are you staring at? You useless bastard! His Highness asked you to go out and take a look. Are you deaf?"

Wang Huai looked at this group of people. They were all cowards. He had to take the risk today, but he didn't want to agree so easily.

Firstly, it seems a bit fake. We all know that going out would probably mean death. If we agree without resisting, wouldn't it seem a bit fake?

Secondly, Wang Huai also wanted to piss off those bastards from the Wang family. Why should I go just because you tell me to?

Wang Huai didn't move, staring coldly at Wang Laosan, "I'm a waste, why do you want me, a waste of the Wang family, to go? Why don't you go?"

Wang Laosan didn't expect that Wang Huai would dare to speak to him like that. He didn't react for a moment and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he frowned and grabbed Wang Huai by the collar.

"You little loser, you have no skills at all, and you even learned to talk back, right?"

"Letting you go is because we brothers are giving you a chance! You are usually timid and don't have many opportunities to show off, why don't you seize it?"

Wang Huai sneered and slapped away Wang Laosan's hand.

"What chance? A chance to die?"

Damn, the Wang family has never taken me seriously, and this time you actually say that you should put me first because of the credit?
Wang Huai thought to himself, I’m not a fool.

Wang Huai’s refusal surprised the Wang family.

After all, Wang Huai usually behaved very obediently. They had been accustomed to Wang Huai's submissiveness since childhood, so the Wang family would be surprised if he showed the slightest resistance.

This is not like Wang Huai's character.

But things are different now.

This time it's a matter of life and death, so it's normal for Wang Huai to resist like this.

If Wang Huai still behaves obediently, it would be a bit abnormal.

Members of the Wang family immediately stood up to accuse Wang Huai.

"How can you be so ungrateful? Your third brother is doing this for your own good! Why are you talking back to him?"

"Wang Huai, it's nothing, just go out and take a look. You know Lord Lu Yi, so there will be no problem."

"That's right. Just be calm. If you find anything wrong, just shout toward the wall and we will shoot arrows immediately to buy you time to run back!"

This group of people were talking to each other, and they all looked worried about Wang Huai.

In fact, Wang Huai knew very well what An De was thinking.

It's just a matter of tricking him out first.

Except for the Wang family, the other East Palace advisers and ministers around them kept their mouths shut and dared not say a word.

They were afraid that if Wang Huai didn't go out, this task would eventually fall on them.

They don't want to take any risks at this critical moment of life and death.

If the Fanyang Army below really has something fishy going on, their lives will definitely be in danger if they go out.

These guys are all very shrewd people, and no one wants to take risks at this moment.

Seeing that wealth and honor are beckoning to them, it would be a great loss if they died at this moment.

Wang Huai sneered, "Aren't you guys usually known as the pillars of the East Palace? Why? At the critical moment, you pillars all collapsed?"

Wang Huai also responded without any hesitation.

Let Chu Shixu see that these are the lackeys you keep on a daily basis. At the critical moment, no one is willing to stand guard for you.

Chu Shixu stood aside with a grim expression, watching this group of people fighting each other, pushing and swearing at each other.

"Shut up!"

Chu Shixu was furious.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

At this point, no one is willing to go out on their own initiative.

Chu Shixu pointed at these confidants and said, "Great, great! Your Majesty has really not been optimistic about you in vain!"

At the critical moment, they all help the cowards.

Even though Chu Shixu said this, that group of people still didn't dare to step forward and show off.

At this time, Chu Shixu pointed at Wang Laosan and said, "You go!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Laosan was shocked.

His face turned pale with fright.

This time, it was Wang Huai's turn to watch the fun.

Wang Huai sneered in his heart and thought, let’s see what you are going to do this time?
Wang Laosan quickly said, "Your Highness, I have only met Lu Yi a few times. It's not that I don't want to go, but I'm really worried that I made a mistake..."

Before Wang Laosan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Huai.

"Third brother, you said you haven't seen Lord Lu Yi many times, but I think I have seen him less often than you?"

Wang Huai's words shocked Wang Laosan so much that he shuddered all over.

He glared at Wang Huai fiercely, pointed at his nose and cursed, "You just don't dare to go, and you don't dare to admit it?!"

Chu Shixu really couldn't stand it anymore.

Now there are 100,000 Fan Yang troops outside the city gate, but he doesn't know whether to open the city gate.

I wanted to send someone out, but no one was willing to go.

Chu Shixu felt that his life as a prince was really aggrieved.

He lost his patience and pointed directly at Wang Laosan's nose.

"I command you, go!"

Wang Laosan swallowed nervously.

After all, we are going to confirm Lu Yi, so we must find someone who is quite familiar with Lu Yi.

Not only does he have to be familiar with Lu Yi, but he also has to be a bit courageous.

Although Wang Laosan is a bit cowardly, he is much better than those other fat and big-eared advisers.

If we send those cowardly people, I'm afraid that after they leave the city gate, those guys won't even dare to raise their eyelids, and we'll be fooled.

Or, if there really was something wrong with the Fanyang Army, and Ma Su'an threatened him and stopped him from speaking, at a critical moment of life and death, if his own people lied, then once the city gates were opened, it would be all over.

Wang Laosan was terrified. He nodded woodenly and took a few steps forward. He felt his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Just then, a mocking laugh was heard.

It was Wang Huai.

"Third brother, how come you look even more hunched over than an old man?"

These sarcastic words were clearly mocking Wang Laosan's inner fear.

Wang Laosan's calves were cramping and he could hardly stand.

I was sweating all over.

He cursed Wang Huai's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. It was obvious that this kid did it on purpose!

He glared at Wang Huai fiercely, but he was in no mood to talk back to him. Wang Huai folded his arms and looked at Wang Lao San leisurely, with an undisguised sneer on his face.

There are quite a few steps walking down from the city gate tower.

He wanted to see how many hours it would take Wang Laosan to walk down from upstairs.

"Third brother, why don't you walk? What's wrong? Are your legs weak? Do you want me to help you?"

Wang Huai was often bullied by the Wang family, but it was Wang Laosan who bullied him the most.

Now that he could see Wang Laosan's behavior, he felt relieved.

Other people around couldn't stand it anymore.

They rolled their eyes at Wang Laosan and cursed him in their hearts.

How could Wang Laosan, who usually looks powerful and has a loud voice, be such a coward? !
Indeed, the image that Wang Laosan usually gives people is that of a man who is fearless, but now when he is asked to go out to spy on the enemy, he is so scared that he even has difficulty walking. This is indeed unexpected for many people.

Those members of the Wang family noticed the gazes of the people around them, and they began to feel a little embarrassed.

What’s more worrying is that Chu Shixu got angry.

Because, at this moment, Chu Shixu's face was extremely ugly.

A face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Sure enough, Chu Shixu bit Wang Laosan fiercely, then stepped forward and kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground.

Wang Laosan's legs were already shaking with fear, and after being kicked by the prince, he fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

If the current environment wasn't so tense, others would probably have laughed out loud.

"You useless piece of shit! Hurry up and go, what are you wasting time on!"

Chu Shixu couldn't bear it anymore and roared.

Wang Laosan was so scared that he quickly got up from the ground.

Chu Shixu even drew out his sword and pointed it at Wang Laosan, "If you don't go down, I will kill you right now!"

"Don't! Your Highness, our Wang family has always been loyal to you. Your Highness cannot kill our Wang family!"

When the Wang brothers saw this, they were all terrified and rushed forward to rescue Wang Laosan.

"Your Highness, my third brother broke his leg a few days ago, so he has difficulty moving. I hope Your Highness will understand!"

Chu Shixu snorted coldly, "Your Highness understands you, but who understands Your Highness?"

"There are 100,000 Fanyang troops waiting outside. If we delay any further, the Jinyang and Liangzhou troops will arrive. Then, we will die together!"

Chu Shixu's sword pointed at Wang Laosan again.

Wang Laosan held onto the city wall and walked down tremblingly.

At this moment, Wang Huai took the initiative to step forward and walked out.

He bowed to Chu Shixu and said, "Your Highness, let me go!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!

Everyone was shocked and looked at Wang Huai in unison.

The Wang family was even more surprised and thought they had heard it wrong.

Wang Laosan, who was walking in front, felt relieved.

His whole body felt as if all the muscles had been pulled out and he could no longer hold on. He fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

The few steps he just took were the longest journey he had ever walked in his life.

After Wang Huai finished speaking, Chu Shixu's eyes lit up and he looked at Wang Huai deeply.

"you sure?"

Wang Huai nodded, "Your Highness, I was just a little dissatisfied with my third brother, so I did it on purpose, but the current situation is urgent, and we need someone with determination and courage to go, which will be safer."

What Wang Huai said was like a slap in the face to Wang Laosan.

What I mean is that you, Wang Laosan, are not good enough. You have neither courage nor determination.

But I, Wang Huai, am much better than you.

Chu Shixu nodded in appreciation and patted Wang Huai on the shoulder, "Well done! After this, I will reward you handsomely!"

Wang Huai nodded, turned around and strode towards the bottom of the city wall.

Looking at Wang Huai's determined back, many people's attitude towards Wang Huai changed.

Especially the Wang family, they seemed to be meeting Wang Huai for the first time.

Someone came forward and helped Wang Laosan up.

In a short while, Wang Huai had reached the city gate.

At Chu Shixu's command, the guards at the gate immediately opened the city gate, but only a crack was opened, enough for a person to go out sideways.

Wang Huai strode out.

My heart is also uneasy.

As soon as he walked out, he heard the sound of a door closing from behind.

The city gates were immediately closed.

At this time, Wang Huai was alone against an army of 100,000.

Wang Huai walked with his eyes narrowed, observing the situation ahead.

More than twenty horses surrounded the two important figures, Ma Su'an and Lu Yi.

When the distance was only ten meters.

Wang Huai stopped.

Wang Huai bowed his hands and shouted loudly: "I am Wang Huai, and His Highness sent me to greet you all!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Suan sneered.

He thought to himself, "It seems that this prince is quite cautious and even knew to send someone out."

However, Ma Su'an had already prepared for a showdown with the Eastern Palace.

If the other side found out that Lu Yi was dead and refused to open the city gate, he would lead an army of 100,000 to storm in, which would only cost more effort.

Ma Su'an remained calm on the surface, but he also bowed to Wang Huai and said in a deep voice: "In that case, then open the city gate."

Wang Huai frowned slightly, he always felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, on such an important occasion, Lu Yi, as an important official of the court, should be on par with Ma Su'an.

But now, Lu Yi remained silent and sat quietly on the horse, as if he was just a foil.

With doubts in his heart, Wang Huai continued to move forward.

The closer he got, the more he felt that there was something strange about Lu Yi on horseback.

Lu Yi's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, like a dead person.

Moreover, his body was motionless and his eyes did not seem to be open.

Because the distance was still far, Wang Huai didn't dare to be sure of his guess.

He suppressed his uneasiness and walked forward a few steps cautiously, hoping to see it more clearly.

The two war horses were getting closer and closer, and Wang Huai's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

He was almost certain that something must have happened to Lu Yi!
Just when he walked to the gap between Ma Suan and Lu Yi's warhorse, something strange happened!

Wang Huai felt a chill on his back, and a cold dagger was pressed against his back.

Then, a sharp female voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move! Cooperate and I'll spare your life!"

This sudden change made Wang Huai understand everything in an instant.

Lu Yi is indeed dead! The man on the horse is actually just a corpse!
He looked carefully and found that "Lu Yi" was wearing a loose robe, with his head lowered, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Beneath the robe, it seemed to be stuffed with straw, and there were no real legs at all.

Wang Huai held his breath and dared not act rashly.
