Film and Television: A Man in White Horse, Begins by Becoming an Apprentice of Yu Sheng Demon

Qin Yu said with concern.

"Isn't it obvious? This ninth brother has no brains at all, and the seventh brother is ruthless to the extreme, he doesn't even spare his own brothers."

The White King took a deep breath and finally slumped back into his chair in despair.

"If the Crimson King regains power and returns to the court, and the Dark River takes over Tianqi City, then Your Highness will be in grave danger."

"The Tang Clan is currently being targeted by the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. It seems that the Snow Moon Sword Immortal and my senior uncle, the Demon Sword Immortal Yu Tian, ​​have feelings for each other, so the Tang Clan is in a precarious situation."

Qin Yu sighed helplessly.

“When the Tang Clan cooperated with the Dark River, I angrily rebuked Old Master Tang, but I didn’t expect him to still do it.”

The White King said weakly.

"Your Highness, there is still a force in the martial world that you have not yet befriended!"

Qin Yu thought for a moment and then said.

"You mean Wushuang City?"

The White King reacted instantly, but he hesitated inwardly.

"Wushuang City has always had great ambitions. I'm worried that using them might backfire."

Bai Wang's words made Qin Yu laugh.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? You have my senior uncle's help. The entire population of Wushuang City combined probably wouldn't be enough for my senior uncle to kill. Backlash? Do they even have the right to backlash?"

Qin Yu's words greatly boosted Bai Wang's confidence.

"Haha, Brother Qin is absolutely right. As long as I let Senior Demon Sword Immortal see my abilities, then this throne will be mine for the taking. If Wushuang City dares to have even the slightest bad thought, I will make Senior Demon Sword Immortal slaughter his city."

"Brother Qin, you should leave Tianqi City tonight, take my letter, and negotiate with Tianqi City on my behalf. Whatever they want, we will try our best to satisfy them."

After Bai Wang finished speaking, he spread out Xuan paper and began writing a letter, while Qin Yu stood silently to the side.

After a long while, Bai Wang blew the ink off the letter and then handed it to Qin Yu.

"I'm leaving everything to Brother Qin."

Qin Yu took the letter and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, I will certainly negotiate this matter successfully."

After saying that, Qin Yu immediately turned around and left. He picked out a top-quality fast horse from the stable and went straight out of the White Prince's mansion.

Three days later.

Apocalypse City.

Qianyuan Hall.

above the hall.

The atmosphere at today's morning court session was somewhat somber.

The Crimson King Xiao Yu, who had already been eliminated, was now standing quietly to the side of the princes.

With a howl from the Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan.

Emperor Mingde strolled lazily into the palace. His gaze fell on the Red King for a moment before he looked away and sat down on his dragon throne.

As was customary, as Emperor Mingde sat down, the court officials knelt on the ground.

"Long live my emperor."

"Everyone is safe."

Emperor Mingde said in a low voice.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Jin Xuan shouted to the assembled officials once more.

But the moment the court officials saw the Red King in the hall, they knew that the court session would not end so simply.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Minister of Revenue Zhao stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said...

Emperor Mingde had his eyes slightly closed. He already knew about Lord Zhao's proposal to discuss matters yesterday and had acquiesced to it.

Emperor Mingde nodded, signaling Lord Zhao to continue.

"Your Majesty, the matter I am reporting today concerns the assassination attempt on the Second Prince, Xiao Chong, on his way back to Tianqi City."

"On that day, some court officials listened to slander and pinned all the blame for the assassination of the Second Prince Xiao Chong on the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu."

"Your Majesty, I am terrified. The Seventh Prince Xiao Yu is fond of poetry and wine, and is a free and unrestrained person. I naturally do not believe that such a heinous act could have been committed by the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu."

"Therefore, Your Majesty, I request that you thoroughly investigate this matter. If it is indeed the work of the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu, then I implore Your Majesty to strip him of his princely title and demote him to a commoner."

"If someone else is involved in this matter, then I beg Your Majesty to clear the name of the Seventh Prince, Xiao Yu."

After listening to Lord Zhao's words, Emperor Mingde's expression turned solemn. Clearly, this was something Emperor Mingde was unwilling to face, but had no choice but to confront.

"The matter you reported today has caused me great anxiety."

Emperor Mingde opened his eyes and spoke slowly, his voice steady but filled with undisguised worry.

"The Seventh Prince, Xiao Yu, colluded with the Dark River to assassinate the Second Prince, Xiao Chong. My beloved ministers, this matter concerns my princes, so everything you say must be based on the facts and there must be no concealment."

Grand Tutor Zhang Ze immediately stepped forward, his expression solemn, his gaze sweeping over the assembled officials, his voice as loud as thunder.

"Your Majesty, I have obtained evidence of close ties between the Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia and the Dark River."

"The Ninth Prince, Xiao Jinxia, ​​disguised himself as the Sixth Prince, Xiao Chuhe, and secretly collaborated with the Dark River to plot the assassination of the Second Prince, Xiao Chong. This matter is of great importance, and I implore Your Majesty to take it seriously."

Xiao Chong frowned slightly. He had long known about Grand Tutor Zhang Ze, who supported the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu.

Therefore, his main purpose today must be to exonerate Xiao Yu.

Xiao Chong immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Emperor Mingde.

"Grand Tutor, is the so-called evidence you possess sufficient to prove the Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia's guilt? I have no prior grudge against the Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia. Without solid evidence, how can you rashly draw a conclusion?"

Xiao Chong's urgent words elicited a series of cold laughs from Grand Tutor Zhang Ze.

He naturally knew that Xiao Chong's main objective was to expel the Red King Xiao Yu from the overall struggle for the crown prince position.

But given the current situation with the Red King, how could he possibly allow the Second Prince to benefit?

"Your Highness, the evidence is conclusive and not baseless."

"I have a secret letter in my possession, which clearly mentions that the Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia had secretly contacted the Dark River assassins. The terms of the deal were to assassinate the Second Prince Xiao Chong in exchange for the Dark River assassins' desired items."

Where is the Ninth Prince, Xiao Jinxia, ​​now?

Upon seeing the two sides arguing, Emperor Mingde immediately asked Jin Xuan, the chief eunuch beside him, whether the Ninth Prince was currently in Tianqi City.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince left Tianqi City a month ago. I do not know whether he has returned."

Jin Xuan replied respectfully.

"Father, the Ninth Prince returned to his residence yesterday. Why don't we issue a decree to the Ninth Prince regarding this matter?"

The Seventh Prince, Xiao Yu, stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Now that the Ninth Prince has returned to Tianqi City, issue an edict ordering him to come to the Qianyuan Palace immediately."

When Emperor Mingde spoke, it was time for a break in the court proceedings, and all the officials waited for the Ninth Prince.

After a long while, the Ninth Prince Xiao Jinxia rushed to the main hall and knelt down in front of Emperor Mingde, trembling all over.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Jinxia, ​​in the imperial court, someone has testified that you colluded with the Dark River organization to secretly plot the assassination of your second brother. What is your opinion on this matter?"

Emperor Mingde asked calmly.

His tone was devoid of any emotion; one could not discern joy, anger, or feeling.

"Father, I am innocent! I respect my teachers and elders and am on good terms with my brothers. How could I possibly commit such a fratricide?"

“What the Ninth Prince says sounds truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but the evidence of your actions is now irrefutable. Ninth Prince, confess your guilt.”

Grand Tutor Zhang Ze said coldly.

The Ninth Prince, Xiao Jinxia, ​​was pale.

He slowly stood up. His voice was tinged with a hidden anger.

“Zhang Ze, when have I ever offended you? Your words are full of malice. Your so-called evidence is nothing but something you fabricated.”

"I have never had any contact with the Dark River, nor did I intend to harm my second brother. Why are you so unjust to accuse me?"

Grand Tutor Zhang Ze said coldly.

"Ninth Prince, if this is not true, why are there so many signs pointing to you?"

"Not only are there secret letters, but also testimonies from the Dark River organization, all pointing to your collusion."

"Furthermore, witnesses saw you enter the Dark River organization's headquarters at night and meet with the Dark River leader."

Xiao Chong frowned and walked to Xiao Jinxia's side.

he whispered.
