The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 546 Rebellion
The conversation lasted about half an hour, and almost three rounds of drinks had been served. Jiang Fan, on the other hand, although he had been accepting toasts from Lu Wentian and a group of Chongming Pirates' top brass, every time he raised his glass, he would cover it with his sleeves and pour out the wine.
As for the food on the table, he did not even touch it. The same was true for Qing Lingxiu beside him. As for the remaining thirty white robe guards, they just stood there motionless.
Even though someone arranged food and drinks and even brought in tables and chairs, they still stood there motionless.
Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun did not force the white robe guards to sit at the table.
Just when everyone was talking intensely, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and then countless figures rushed into the conference hall from both sides.
Seeing this scene, Lu Wentian on the main seat and Lu Zhaoyun opposite him just frowned, their expressions changed slightly, and soon returned to normal.
Most of the remaining thirty-odd senior executives had slightly changed expressions, and looked at the people who rushed in with shock on their faces, with horror in their eyes.
At this moment, among those who rushed in, three people came in. They were Huang Shenping and the other two who had just left the meeting in anger. He looked at the people in the meeting room, and the three of them showed a smug look on their faces.
The entire conference hall was very large, but with nearly a hundred people rushing in, the hall suddenly seemed a little crowded!
"Huang Shenping! What do you want to do!" At this time, an old man sitting below Lu Zhaoyun spoke angrily.
No matter how stupid they were, they could see that Huang Shenping had come with ill intentions and had brought so many people with him.
"What do you want to do? Haha, of course we want to catch you all in one fell swoop! You brothers and sisters would never have thought that you would be fooled by the three of us!" Huang Shenping looked at Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun with a smug look on his face.
At this time, apart from Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun, there were only about 30 high-level people left at the scene, while he had more than 100 people on his side, each holding a powerful crossbow.
If a fight really breaks out, everyone present will end up dead.
As soon as Huang Shenping said this, most of the people present changed their expressions slightly, and they all looked at Huang Shenping and the other two angrily, their eyes full of anger.
Lu Wentian looked at Huang Shenping and said coldly, "Huang Shenping, so you deliberately said that you wanted to help my younger sister take the position and cause our internal conflicts?"
"Of course. If we don't cause internal conflicts, how can I take advantage of the situation? Ridiculous... You brothers and sisters actually think that as long as you don't show up, everything will be fine!?"
"You guys are really ridiculous! Haha..." Huang Shenping smiled proudly.
When he said this, the smugness on his face became even stronger.
"Lu Wentian, Lu Zhaoyun, I will give you one chance. As long as you kill Jiang Fan, I can recommend you to Lord Inoue. I will never take your lives, and I will let you continue to lead the Chongming Bandits."
As soon as Huang Shenping said this, Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun's faces changed slightly.
How could they not know what the other side wanted to do? They wanted to make them break away from the imperial court completely, forcing them to choose to surrender to the Japanese pirates.
Killing King Qin Jiang Fan would be a token of their surrender, and by then, they would have no way of turning back.
"Hmph... Don't even think about it..." Lu Zhaoyun snorted coldly. She looked at Huang Shenping coldly and said, "Uncle Huang, I'm calling you Uncle Huang again. I hope you stop now. I won't care about what happened today, and I will ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin to let you go."
"But if you insist on doing it your own way, you will only put yourself in an irretrievable situation. Do you think the Japanese pirates can still accomplish anything now?"
Huang Shenping heard this and said with a mocking look on his face: "Haha... If it was before, I would still be a little worried about whether Master Inoue could succeed. But today is different!"
"Dayan has always been weak and vulnerable. The only truly powerful person is Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan died here today. Who in Dayan do you think can stop Master Inoue?"
"I advise you to surrender. Because of the friendship between me and your father, I will spare your lives. I will even wait until Master Inoue establishes a country, and I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous, and be made a duke or a prime minister!"
“But if you refuse to change your ways, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” At the end, Huang Shenping’s face turned cold in an instant, with a murderous look on his face.
"I will count to three. If you don't surrender, I will have no choice but to send you on your way!"
However, just as Huang Shenping said this, Lu Wentian smiled coldly and said, "Old Huang, do you really think you have won?"
As soon as he said this, Old Huang frowned, but there was a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth.
"Really? I want to see what else you have up your sleeve."
As soon as he said this, Lu Wentian snorted coldly. As his voice rang out, in the blink of an eye, countless figures suddenly fell from the ceiling of the conference room.
There were nearly a hundred people hiding in the ceiling of the meeting room. The structure of the whole meeting room was ingenious, and there were places for people to hide around.
Seeing these nearly one hundred people appear, the more than thirty Chongming thieves' high-ranking officials present showed a look of relief on their faces.
Just now they thought they were doomed, but they didn't expect that Lu Wentian was obviously hiding something. Lu Zhaoyun looked indifferent, and it was obvious that he knew about this.
Jiang Fan watched all this with a smile on his face. The look the two siblings exchanged just now clearly showed that they knew Huang Shenping wanted to rebel. They deliberately said they wanted to surrender in order to force Huang Shenping to take action in advance.
However, Jiang Fan didn't think that Huang Shenping was only capable of this. He was able to cause internal strife among the entire Chongming bandits and leave the two siblings helpless. Huang Shenping definitely had more than just this little trick.
Sure enough, just when everyone thought the situation had reversed, Huang Shenping smiled playfully and said, "Lu Wentian, aren't you happy too early?"
As soon as he said this, nearly a hundred people rushed down from the ceiling and instantly aimed their crossbows at Lu Wentian and others.
Such a change made Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun's faces change slightly, with shock and disbelief in their eyes. Anger was surging in their eyes.
Lu Wentian looked at the leader, his eyes filled with grief and confusion.
"Third brother, I have treated you well, why did you betray me..."
Facing Lu Wentian's questioning, the thirty-year-old man in the lead showed a guilty look on his face. His tone was obviously weaker as he said, "I'm sorry, Island Master, Elder Huang knew that I had a mistress, and he threatened me with my mistress' children. I... could only choose to obey him."
"I hope the island master won't blame me..." At the end, the man looked up at Lu Wentian with determination in his eyes.
Hearing this, Lu Wentian smiled bitterly. He looked at Huang Shenping and said with a sad smile, "Old Huang, you win... But if you want me to kill His Royal Highness the King of Qin, forget it. Although I, Lu Wentian, am not a hero, I am not a villain! Kill him if you want... I won't say a word!"
