After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 680 The True King of the Western Regions

Shangguan Ling was shocked: "How come everything belongs to you? Is your family so rich and powerful?"

It's no wonder he asked this question. If he remembered correctly, the teahouse in the imperial city of Liang was also opened by this guy.

No, where did this guy get the money?
Shangguan Ling was truly shocked.

To be honest, he had investigated Duan Mingyue, but the information he found was very limited. Even his identity as Xun Yi was discovered in Liang State.

It is said that the Jinyiwei are good at spying and assassination, but that is only in the capital, in the Great Zhou.

If we ask the whole world about the truth, Duan Mingyue is the one who comes to our mind.

Duan Mingyue smiled at Shangguan Ling without saying anything.

At this time, a young man came down from the second floor, came behind Duan Mingyue, and held the handles on the back of Duan Mingyue's wheelchair with both hands.

This person is not his biological brother Duan Wenliang.

Meng Qianqian cast a suspicious look at the other person.

The other person also glanced at her, and then looked at Lu Yuan beside her.

Duan Mingyue smiled and said, "Xiaowu, why don't you say hello to your third brother when you see him?"

Xun Wu called Lu Yuan "Third Brother" in a proper manner.

Meng Qianqian understood.

It turns out that he is Xun Wu.

Xun Wu was not as elusive as Xun Yi, so she had seen Xun Wu's portrait in the Governor's Mansion.

But maybe it was because of the serious injury, Xun Wu in front of her looked much weaker and thinner, and she didn't recognize him at first.

"And your third sister-in-law."

Duan Mingyue pointed at Meng Qianqian and said to Xun Wu.

Xun Wu politely called her "Third Sister-in-law".

Meng Qianqian nodded.

Xun Wu is a businessman who travels to various countries to do business, but one cannot see the businessman's commercialism and shrewdness on his face.

He is very honest.

This was Meng Qianqian’s first impression.

Meng Qianqian also understood that Xun Wu was definitely not as honest and simple as he appeared.

Prime Minister Xun was not a very good person, but he had a very sharp vision and all of his adopted sons were outstanding.

Duan Mingyue was unable to get up, so Xun Wu paid his respects to Emperor Liang on his behalf.

Afterwards, Duan Mingyue invited the group to the room on the second floor.

Tan'er lay on the windowsill, looking around the street: "Why haven't the Loulan people come yet? Are they scared?"

Shangguan Ling walked behind her and pulled her collar back: "Be careful not to fall down!"

Tan Er pouted: "No way!"

Chen Long was the last to arrive.

He saw Meng Lang sitting in the corner eating a peach and frowned, "Are you skipping class?"

Meng Lang hurriedly said, "God and earth are in the clear, the Imperial College is closed today!"

Chen Long said: "Yu Li has not returned home."

Meng Lang was speechless: "…Whether he comes back or not is none of my business. Anyway, it's his holiday!"

Chen Long looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's lips curled slightly: "The Imperial College is indeed on holiday. Yu Li has become the apprentice of Lin Jijiu and is studying in the Lin family."

Only then did Chen Long stop expressing his murderous intent.

The Loulan people haven't arrived yet.

Emperor Liang was not in a hurry. He sat in the main seat in the side room and sipped tea leisurely.

Duan Wenliang personally made tea for him, and Xun Wu also entertained him respectfully.

Duan Mingyue gave Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan a wink, and they understood.

Lu Yuan said to Emperor Liang: "Grandfather, let's go downstairs and take a look."

"Ah."

Emperor Liang nodded. Duan Mingyue called the guards to push the wheelchair and took Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan to the study.

Tan Er heard the noise and turned around to look: "What is sister going to do? I want to go too!"

Shangguan Ling held her little head and said, "Just wait here, why are you running around?"

Tan'er's little arms fluttered: "You're playing with a knife, let go!"

"Please take a seat."

In the study, Duan Mingyue said to Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan.

Tea and cakes had already been placed on the table, and it seemed that they had been prepared to entertain them.

The two sat down.

Meng Qianqian asked, "What a coincidence, you just picked a place to compete with the Loulan people, and you chose your Weiyang Tower. You didn't just buy it, did you?"

Duan Mingyue smiled and said, "Yes, I just bought it."

Meng Qianqian's mouth twitched.

What a wayward person with money!
Duan Mingyue's eyes swept over her and looked at Lu Yuan beside her: "I haven't congratulated my third brother yet. He will be a father soon."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "It's not too late to congratulate now."

Duan Mingyue smiled even more: "Third brother is looking forward to this child."

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Of course I am looking forward to having my own child. If you are envious, go find a wife and have one yourself."

Duan Mingyue smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of it. Okay, let's get back to the point. I asked my third brother and his wife to come here because I want to thank them for giving me the medicine, which allowed me to save Xun Wu's life."

Lu Yuan asked calmly: "Just verbal gratitude?"

Duan Mingyue smiled and said, "Third brother is still as pragmatic as ever."

Lu Yuan snorted.

Duan Mingyue smiled softly: "Well, I'll return the favor. Have you two ever heard of the prophecy about the King of the Western Regions?"

Lu Yuan's expression was hard to describe: "You don't just want to repay a favor with this little information, do you?"

Duan Mingyue smiled: "That was my original plan, but it looks like you already know it, so I can only give you other information. It's really hard to repay Xun Wu for this favor."

Lu Yuan said, "Stop talking nonsense. The Loulan envoys will be here soon and we won't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Duan Mingyue said with a smile: "You, the one waiting for the news, are more anxious than me, the one providing the news."

Lu Yuan said arrogantly: "This is not the first day you have known me."

Duan Mingyue couldn't find a reason to refute, so she simply stopped arguing with him and said bluntly: "The first person to hear this prophecy was the King of Loulan. The King of Loulan thought he was the future king of the Western Regions, but unfortunately he was not."

"Who is it?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Duan Mingyue glanced at her with a smile: "Shang Jue."

Meng Qianqian was stunned.

Is it daddy?
how come……

Lu Yuan took in her expression, held her hand calmly, and asked Duan Mingyue, "Shang Jue is not from the Western Regions, how did he become the king of the Western Regions?"

Duan Mingyue said: "This is my guess."

Lu Yuan: "What's your guess?"

Duan Mingyue said: "At first, the wizards of Loulan only calculated that the king of the Western Regions was from the Shang family, but they didn't figure out who it was. That's why the King of Loulan exterminated the Shang family, preferring to kill the wrong person rather than let him go. But later, after Xun Wu's repeated investigations and inquiries, more and more evidence pointed to Shang Jue."

Meng Qianqian said coldly: "There is only evidence pointing to it, but it has not been confirmed."

Because of this so-called prophecy, the Shang family shed blood like a river!
Lu Yuan asked again: "Why does the King of Loulan want to capture Zhongli Yuan?"

Duan Mingyue replied: "Zhongli Yuan has a huge secret. She is the key to helping Shang Jue become the king of the Western Regions. If the King of Loulan wants to become the king of the Western Regions, he must get her. It is said that she passed the secret to her and Shang Jue's descendants."

Meng Qianqian frowned.

She... couldn't remember what secret her mother had passed on to her.

Or, did my mother pass it on to——

"Princess Loulan has arrived—"

The voice of the Loulan envoy was heard outside the Weiyang Tower.

Duan Mingyue smiled gently and said, "They are here. It looks like there will be an exciting decisive battle today."
