Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

His smile was like melting ice, with a charming and graceful demeanor, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Is this the leader of the Wulin Alliance?"

"Isn't he the evil leader of the Misty Rain Sect who wiped out the entire family of the former Wulin Alliance Leader some time ago?"

"He is the one who is the most evil... Well, why would he come to save people?"

"You know what... He actually looks like a scholar."

"He has such a demeanor. If no one told me, who would dare to believe that such a young man is the leader of the Misty Rain Sect?"

"So what? He is a wicked man with a bad heart. He is just a beautiful exterior with rotten inside."

"... Lord Chen is a hero to the world. These people must have conspired to murder him. Didn't you see that they were involved with the Yanyu Sect? There is not a single good person among the Yanyu Sect. They are evil people who kill people to buy their lives..."

"I don't believe it. General Huang is a good man!"

"General Huang is mixed up with them, how can he be a good person?"

"Then you don't believe Master Yi...?"

"Who would believe him? He has been crazy for a few years, insisting that the prince died from falling off a horse. He keeps saying that someone wants to harm him, and he is suspicious all the time..."

"Oh, if he wasn't crazy, would he trust the Misty Rain Sect?"

"..."

The ghost-faced demons of the Yanyu Sect: “…” We heard it. If the sect leader hadn’t stopped us, if he hadn’t forbidden anyone from harming the people since he came to power, you people, hum~!

General Huang turned around and said to the group of wounded soldiers behind him: "Why don't you go check on your family!"

"Yes!"

Many people were crowded in these streets, or they couldn't squeeze in and watched from the distant streets.

A group of wounded soldiers rushed into the crowd and told their families about how they had just been ambushed and killed by Chen Yulian's men.

"I didn't expect that our general would kill people to seize power. He ambushed us with heavy troops on the way back. Dozens of our brothers died..."

"Mom, my son almost lost half his head..."

"What? This is actually true?"

"..."

It was different from listening to the quarrels of those big shots, and watching the fights of those high and mighty people. When the injured person became their own child, many onlookers became red-eyed and shouted at Chen Yulian:

"Master Chen, General Chen, did you really ambush and kill the soldiers on the road?"

"What on earth did my child do wrong? He was fine and went on duty just a few days ago, but when he came back, his leg was broken."

"Master Chen, the person who was ambushed and killed was your confidant. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. What was the reason?"

"..."

The common people came forward to ask for justice, but were blocked by the guards and servants of the Huai'an Palace.

The guards were holding back the surging people, but their hearts were beginning to waver, and the expressions on their faces were cracked.

These people were all promoted by Chen Yulian in recent years. Except for a few close confidants who knew the truth, most of them were ordinary martial artists who came to join him for the title of Jade-faced Young Master and the prestige of Huai'an Palace. After this sudden change, they were all slightly surprised and didn't understand why Chen Yulian suddenly assassinated his subordinates?

Some people also thought that maybe it was a misunderstanding or some hidden secret. Did Lord Chen have some unavoidable difficulties in his heart?

A guard shouted, "We will block it. Quickly send some people to rescue Master Chen. He is still in the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"Humph, remnants of the previous dynasty!"

Before Xia Shi and Qianli could open their mouths to curse, King Huai'an sneered and said loudly:

"I am also from the previous dynasty, what you call the remnant."

The King of Huai'an said this, causing everyone to look at him.

At this time, the wind and rain were even stronger, and the snow particles had turned into snowflakes all over the sky. Huai'an is located in the south of the Lingnan Mountains. When the snowflakes fell to the ground, they did not cover the ground with white snow, but instead formed a muddy ground. The ground was full of ice water and ice chips, soaking everyone's cotton shoes.

It also wet people's cotton clothes, making them bone-chilled and making them shiver.

But when King Huai'an said this, many people forgot to tremble.

This is, King Huai'an?

No one could have imagined that this was the King of Huai'an. At first, everyone thought that this was the elder of the clan whom Princess Rong'an had asked to make the decision for her.

The King of Huai'an was eight feet tall and had a sturdy build. Standing in the crowd, he looked like a small mountain. But now this skinny, hunched-backed old man, wearing a cloak as empty as a scarecrow, who couldn't even stand steadily and needed someone to support him, had the same voice as the King of Huai'an.

General Huang took a step forward in astonishment. The guards of Huai'an Palace turned back in shock, stopped trying to rescue Chen Yulian, and turned to look at the hunchbacked old man.

Previous dynasty? The old Prince of Huai'an followed Emperor Taizu of the Qian Dynasty and was able to be granted the title of hereditary king of a different surname. The Huai'an Palace had been loyal to the Lou family for three hundred years and had never had two minds. Until the prime minister rebelled, the Prince of Huai'an, who had been sick for a long time, suddenly handed a handwritten letter to the officials of Huai'an, swearing allegiance to the Yue family of the Wu Kingdom. From then on, Chen Yulian was able to lead a group of old officials of the Huai'an Palace, and even the entire Huai'an, to successfully pledge allegiance to the newly established Wu Kingdom.

Of course, some people don't believe it. One handwritten letter is not enough to make everyone follow in the rebellion.

So during that incident, the old ministers loyal to the Qian Dynasty were purged, the governor of Huaizhou was sidelined, and there was a lot of blood and gore for a while.

Everyone: “……?” Wasn’t it King Huai’an’s own idea to be loyal to the State of Wu?

Why are you saying this now?

A person from the previous dynasty? The so-called? Remnants? These words are frightening. Who is this person...?

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

The hunched Prince Huai'an raised his head, loosened his skinny fingers that were holding up his cloak, and the wind blew off his hood.

Miss Xia waved her hand, and several sharp-eyed servants approached with torches, lighting up the atmosphere.

The wind and snow were blowing hard, and the torches were crackling and flickering. The wind was about to extinguish them, but there were so many torches that they still illuminated the surroundings.

Everyone saw the thin, sallow, and dry face of the Prince of Huai'an.

"Your Majesty?"

Captain Huang stepped forward hesitantly, and after seeing the cloudy eyes of King Huai'an, he knelt down with a plop.

"Do you still remember me? I am a retainer of your mansion."

If a person loses so much weight suddenly, it might take others a long time to recognize him, but Captain Huang, who grew up in the mansion, recognized him at the first sight.

His kneeling made many people present understand what was going on. They recognized the King of Huai'an and knelt down and shouted:

"See you, my lord!"

"Live your majesty a thousand years..."

Xia Shi put his hands in his warm sleeves, listened carefully to the report, and watched every scene quietly.

Qianli: “…” I won’t kneel unless the leader does. He only has one master in this life, and no one else is worthy.

The governor of Huaizhou bowed from a distance as a way of congratulating the King of Huai'an.

The leader stood with his hands behind his back.

The hero Shiliang watched all this with a turbulent heart, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of the knife.

Yin Chuishi, who was covered in blood, was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He had been longing for the day when the truth would come out, but when the truth really came out, he felt as if his whole body was filled with lead. He just knelt down and kowtowed again and again.

All the guards of Huai'an Palace were nervous.

Chen Yulian's eyes were red with anger. He was alive. This old man was still alive? How did he survive with only one breath left?
