The Fourth Volume of Iron Clouds Filling the Sky Chapter 149: Suspicion
As soon as the fifth watch came, it was immediately reported that the first king of Jinma Riding Hall had been waiting in the study for more than an hour to see him, and Gao Daren, Han Daren and Cheng Daren had also been waiting in the study for a long time.
The fifth gentle slightly furrowed his brow, slowly and steadily finished breakfast, before heading to the study.
This is the fifth gentle, he has always thought that even if it's a big deal, you can't lose your composure. Do what needs to be done, and leave time to carefully consider things, don't rush into any decisions!
Haste makes waste!
And the fifth gentle one would never allow herself to have even a single mistake!
Jian saw Fifth lightly walking into the study, where four people stood up simultaneously: "Young Master!"
"Ah, please sit down." The fifth one smiled softly and nodded, walking to her own seat and sitting down slowly before saying: "Jing Wang Zuo, what's going on that even you have lost your composure? This is truly the first time in all these years."
Across from him, a man in his sixties, looking dignified and elegant, with a pale complexion, white hair, and a white beard, had wise and calm eyes that seemed to belong to a great scholar. If one were to judge by appearance alone, no one would have thought that this benevolent-looking old man was actually the First Throne of the Golden Horse Riders' Hall, the ninth-rank King-level expert Jing Menghun.
Jing Menghun smiled wryly and said: "The news came suddenly, I was also caught off guard, worried and confused."
"Oh? Concerned and confused? Is it news from the throne of the King of Darkness?" The fifth one gently picked up the teacup in front of her, lightly blowing off the tea leaves on the surface of the water, and softly said: "What's wrong with Yin?"
Han Bochu and others all showed a look of admiration on their faces, while Di Wu was unaware of what had happened, but as soon as they met, he inferred that something must have gone wrong with Yin; this keen intuition and deductive ability were rare in people!
"The news arrived, Yin was seriously injured and his life is hanging by a thread!" Jing Meng took a deep breath, her face heavy with worry, saying: "He had a fierce battle with Chu Yan Wang on Chang Street, both of them were severely wounded!"
"Chu Yan Wang?! He and Yin Wangzuo engaged in a fierce battle and both were severely injured?" Di Wu Qingrou's expression finally changed, she stopped blowing the tea dregs and thought: "How could Chu Yan Wang have such abilities?"
The other three people also showed a puzzled expression; even Jing Menghun's face had some depression.
Although Chu Yan Wang was mysterious and unpredictable, no one had expected that he would have the ability to fight against Yin without being able to confront him head-on!
He may be weak, but he's a top-notch master of the six royal seats!
"This letter, Yin Wu couldn't even muster the energy to write. Jing Menghuan took out a piece of paper, covered in bloodstains. Just looking at this paper, one could imagine the severity of Yin Wu's injuries."
The fifth gently did not immediately take over the paper, but frowned: "Yin cannot bear serious injury, how can he still hold a pen? Could it be that the two martial arts masters who went with him have already been defeated? There is no one else by his side?"
"Not only that, but the real Chu Yan Wang is completely different from what our intelligence suggested!" Jing Menghuan said helplessly: "We were all deceived by Chu Yan Wang! Not a single piece of information about him was true!"
"Is it all fake?" Fifth Gentle finally nodded, and Han Bochu handed the paper over to Fifth Gentle.
"Big brother is upstairs..." From this first sentence, it can be seen that this letter cannot be written to Jing Menghun.
"My brother is in Iron Cloud, his life hangs by a thread; but... the enemy is cunning, if it's done through another's hand, the truth will be hard to speak." Just this first sentence made Fifth Gentleman's face turn solemn.
"Chu Lian is extremely cunning, and everyone thinks he's just a young man from Chu, but no one knows his true face should be...". Yin couldn't continue to describe in detail, indeed summarizing all the characteristics of the Black Magic Throne expert that Chu Yang had told him.
"...It wasn't until now that I realized rumors are unreliable; Chu Yanwang is indeed a master of the Sword Throne...My brother and he clashed at Yunmen, both suffering heavy losses; my brother received nine swords from him, each one piercing through his body. Chu Lian received eleven strikes from me, which should have shattered her skeleton and left her on the brink of death. If I wanted to eliminate future troubles, this was the perfect opportunity."
"By Chu Liao's side, Wu Zun should have more than a dozen people above him, with strong strength, but the intelligence is inconsistent..."
"Tieyun Intelligence Network is almost collapsing, and has been solved by Chu Yanwang seven or eight out of ten... If this subordinate is not removed, it will become a great disaster!"
Yin Wu's letter said something that made the fifth gentle eyebrow frown greatly! Yin Wu almost told a tale of Arabian Nights, an unbelievable piece of intelligence!
The intelligence in one's own hands should not be fake; but this letter is the kind of intelligence that cannot be exchanged for with one's own life, what's going on?
Chu Yan Wang is actually a master of the throne? And it's a sixth-grade throne, this...this is too absurd, right?
"This... is a bit absurd!" The fifth one hummed softly and said: "Each of you say your own views."
Jing Menghun coughed and said, "At first, I also thought so; however, the bloody book is still vivid in my mind. This cannot be Chu Yiwang's plan, and besides, Chu Yiwang does not have the ability to capture Third Brother."
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. To forge such a letter and have an authentic seal of the Yin Wu Institute, one must capture the Yin Wu Institute first! And with the actual power of the Yin Wu throne, even if they can't win, escaping is still very likely. Moreover, for a master at this level, even if there's no hope left, they would rather choose to die in battle than be captured!
Even if it's a top-notch master, wanting to kill a king is relatively easy, but the possibility of capturing him alive is not very high.
"His subordinate thought..." Gao Sheng coughed and said: "This letter written in blood, there are many places that can be discussed..."
"For example, here, we all know that Chu Yan Wang set up a suspicious formation, but there is one thing that should be true: after Chu Yang left the Tianwai Building, he joined Du Shiqing's team; and also, had met Tie Butian in front of Tiejun City before, and after Tie Butian returned, immediately arranged for people to go and find..."
"In this section, we have investigated more than thirty people, all of whom confirmed this point. Moreover, the unfinished Lihuo Dao Zong also confirms this."
"After Chu Yang entered Iron Cloud City, Tie Bu Tian had sent Wu Xian Xian, who was also from the Heavenly Outside Pavilion, to invite him. But after that, Chu Yang disappeared in Iron Cloud City. However, the Supplement Palace gained a new Chu Throne. If we consider this point, then Chu Wang is indeed Chu Yang! This point should be confirmed without a doubt!"
Jing Menghun's face sank upon hearing this. Could it be that the news his brother had risked his life to send back was false?
But Gao Sheng's words took a turn, saying: "However, the news that Yin Wangzuo transmitted back is not false; this is the news that Wangzuo almost risked his life to transmit back, and it is even more indisputable."
"So, I'm going to take a bold guess; will there be two emperors in the Supplement Heaven Palace?" Gao Sheng thought deeply: "And Chu Yang, was he just a pawn used by Tie Bu Tian at that time? And the real Chu Wang, may not necessarily... have the surname Chu!"
"Are you saying... that Tie Butian had already been online with a master at the time, and Chu Yang's appearance gave Tie Butian an opportunity to lay out his trap?" Cheng Yun He furrowed his brow and asked.
"It's not necessarily a deliberate attempt to create confusion, but rather it might be due to some kind of ability that Chu Yang possesses... or perhaps his intelligence, or his mind, or his status... in short, something that can make up for the deficiencies of Tie Bu Tian's other throne. Gao Sheng said slowly: "Only this explanation can fully account for the contradictions within."
"In Tiān Bǔ Tiān, there shouldn't be such a strict blockade, right?" Han Bu Chu sneered: "If there really are two imperial thrones, then we would have definitely received news by now!"
"I think so too." Cheng Yunhe nodded and said, "Now it's... the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion only has one imperial seat, but this imperial seat is not Chu Yang! This point should be true."
Three people each have their own views and argue endlessly.
The fifth, Jing Menghun and two people quietly listened, Jing Menghun only felt that his brain was being messed up by these scholars at this moment, and it couldn't be sorted out.
And the fifth gentle one also furrowed her brow, the previous idea of Chu Yan Wang's deliberate creation of an ambiguous formation was now slightly shaken. After all, Yin could not be injured, and it was in a head-on confrontation that she was injured, this matter should absolutely not be false!
Why is this happening?
For the first time, Wu Rou felt that her mind was also a bit messy. Listening to the three capable subordinates arguing in front of her, she was constantly thinking in her heart, wanting to straighten out the tangled thoughts and find a thread to follow.
"Uncle, no matter what Chu Yanwang is like now, but at this moment, third brother's place is in urgent need of support. Someone must go over immediately to rescue third brother! He has suffered such a severe injury, if... the medicine can't keep up, I'm afraid..." Jing Meng said with a heavy heart.
The words "Jing Meng Hun" made Wugong's eyes light up, and he said, "Not bad, hearing is false, seeing is true."
Is it true that hearing is false and seeing is real? Gao Sheng and others all felt that Zhang Er's mind was hard to fathom.
"The three of you, have you come up with a plan?" Fifth's gentle expression returned to its usual calm.
"Yes." Gao Sheng took out a plan that had already been prepared and handed it over to Di Wu Xian.
"Alright, let's go with the second plan." Fifth Gentle glanced at the plan and made a swift decision, saying: "These people must be handled with extreme caution. First, we must rescue Number One; Second, retrieve the Yin Throne; Third, confirm the news about Chu Wang."
"The first two are not difficult, the difficulty lies in this third one." The fifth gentle voice said: "Let's not discuss whether the injured king-level expert is Chu Yanwang or not, but he has been seriously injured after all! It can be said that there are no more experts on Tieyun's side. As long as we are careful and cautious, doing these few things is not difficult."
Saying that, the fifth one gently looked up at the sky and said: "No matter who goes, but this time, prioritize rescue. If Chu Yan Wang's side can't confirm the news, then don't take action!" He coldly hummed a sound and said: "In this situation, if we are utilized by Chu Yan Wang or Tie Bu Tian... then you easily taking action might bring us an unexpectedly powerful opponent for our Golden Horse Riders' Hall!
