The Prodigal Son

Qin Yu remembered that these were the Baojing Division personnel who stayed deep in Nanping Mountain to continue digging the mine shafts.

Judging from his expression, they must have made a major discovery over there.

"I've met him..."

"No need for formalities, get to the point!"

Qin Yu hurriedly interrupted the person who was about to bow.

"yes!"

The man accepted the order and immediately took off his bundle, which contained several broken stones.

"We dug into another mine shaft and found some bodies inside. They must have been buried alive after the mine collapsed. We also found these curses written in blood on the shaft walls..."

As the visitor spoke, he pieced together the scattered stones.

In an instant, the words on it were fully displayed.

Those members of the Yunhuai historian family will all die a horrible death!

Perhaps because it has been a while, the bloodstains on it are not so clear, but the words can still be made out.

Moreover, these words were not only written in blood.

You can still see faint scratches on it.

The person who wrote these words must have been filled with anger and despair.

Upon seeing the words above, Lü Si's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he growled through gritted teeth, "Now, the Shi family has no chance of escaping!"

If the previous evidence only pointed to the historians from various angles, this new evidence is enough to brand the historians with their names.

There's no doubt about it!

The historians were definitely involved in the assassination of the crown prince!

He could even be the mastermind!

"really!"

Qin Yu nodded slightly and immediately instructed Qin Xiong, "Go and invite Steward Guo here right away!"

"yes!"

Qin Xiong immediately ran off.

Before long, Guo Yang swiftly moved and arrived.

Without Qin Yu and the others needing to speak, Guo Yang quickly arrived in front of the assembled stones.

When he saw those words, he could no longer suppress the murderous aura emanating from his body.

Under the terrifying killing intent emanating from Guo Yang, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end, while Lü Si felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"Guo... Steward Guo..."

Lu Si looked at Guo Yang with trepidation, almost kneeling down to beg for mercy.

Ancestors!

We're not historians!

Lu Si's call brought Guo Yang back to his senses.

Seeing Lü Si's forehead radiating cold snorts, Guo Yang realized he had lost his composure and quickly forced himself to suppress his murderous aura.

Only then did Lü Si begin to feel a little better.

Even though he knew Guo Yang wouldn't kill him, he still didn't dare look Guo Yang in the eye.

Qin Yu was also shocked by the terrifying killing intent emanating from Guo Yang.

He had already met all three grandmasters of Da Ning.

Without a doubt, Ning Huang possessed the strongest killing intent.

Guo Yang's killing intent was not as strong as Ning Huang's, but it had a sinister feel to it.

Although Ning Huang's killing intent was terrifying, I felt that at most he could only cleave you in two with a single strike.

But Guo Yang's murderous aura gives people the feeling that he would cut you into a thousand pieces and even rip out your heart and take a bite out of it.

Qin Yu steadied himself and said in a deep voice, "I plan to go to the full moon celebration of Shi Yi's eldest grandson and take the opportunity to wipe out the entire Shi family!"

"We'll do as you say!"

Guo Yang struggled to suppress the murderous intent within him, and said with a sinister tone, "All we need to do is keep them alive!"

"Absolutely!"

Qin Yu nodded. "What I'm thinking is that the Shi family has been operating in Yunhuai for many years. Although we want to wipe them out, we can't allow large-scale chaos to break out in Yunhuai, and we can't give the Shi family any chance to escape..."

Yunhuai was the stronghold of historians.

The power of historians in Yunhuai should not be underestimated.

However, arresting members of the Shi family will inevitably cause trouble among their relatives and associates.

When he left the Raojin Navy, Yang Jichun told him that these people would definitely fight back desperately if they were in dire straits.

What they need to do now is to prevent these people from having any chance to retaliate or fight back.

"We're not interested in hearing this!"

Guo Yang clenched his fists tightly. "You just need to tell me what you want me to do!"

His orders were to obey Qin Yu's command, ensure the safety of Qin Yu and Lü Si, and prevent the Shi family members from dying easily!

As for how to arrange it, that's Qin Yu's business!

Since Guo Yang was so agreeable, Qin Yu didn't waste any more words and said sternly, "I need you to bring all your men back and come with me to Yunhuai. Without my order, no one is to move!"

"good!"

Guo Yang agreed.

"Okay, then there's nothing for you to do here for now. You can go and get back to what you're doing!"

Worried that Guo Yang might act rashly out of control of his anger, Qin Yu reiterated, "Don't worry, Steward Guo, I will definitely wipe out the Shi family and all their associates!"

"Um!"

Guo Yang nodded and left with a gloomy expression.

After seeing Guo Yang off, Qin Yu immediately summoned several men and ordered in a deep voice, "Order Shen Jue to immediately lead his troops in a feigned retreat back to Yinzhou. Once in Jiuyi Prefecture, await my next orders!"

"Order Yuan Dingguo to lead his troops to be ready at any time and await further orders!"

"Order Zeng Guan to secretly take control of the Yunhuai Prefect, and not arouse any suspicion! After I arrive at the Shi family, he should immediately send men to control the Yunhuai soldiers and bring his men to meet me..."

One command after another came from Qin Yu's mouth.

After the men left to carry out their orders, Lü Si immediately probed, "Do you intend to completely surround Ningzhou?"

Qin Yu nodded and smiled: "Not bad! You figured that out!"

"I'm not stupid!"

Lu Si gave Qin Yu a disapproving look.

Qin Yu's plan is already quite clear.

Once he receives the order, Yuan Dingguo of Shangzhou will definitely blockade Ningzhou from the west.

Shen Jue led his troops to blockade Ningzhou from the south.

To the east of Ningzhou, there are also 10,000 troops under the command of Yun Zhao of Yinzhou.

To the north lies the Qujiang River, which is not far from the imperial city.

The troops from the capital can be mobilized at any time to completely seal off the northern border of Ningzhou!

Wouldn't that mean Ningzhou would be completely surrounded?

Hearing Lü Si's words, Qin Yu couldn't help but joke, "You'd better not follow me anymore! If you keep following me, your IQ will skyrocket, and it'll be harder for me to trick you later!"

"Get lost!"

Lu Si glanced at Qin Yu with displeasure. "Isn't this going a bit too far?"

He also has the Golden Armor Imperial Guards, the Treasure Mirror Division's troops, and Guo Yang's troops under his command!

With this kind of power, they could easily destroy the Shi family, right?

And they even mobilized a large army to besiege Ningzhou?

Isn't this giving historians too much credit?

"Better safe than sorry!"

Qin Yu gently shook his head, his face regaining its seriousness: "The Shi family has been operating in Yunhuai and Ningzhou for many years; most areas of Ningzhou have been infiltrated by the Shi family!"

"The historians plotted to murder the Crown Prince; their entire clan must be exterminated, without any room for negotiation!"

"Either way, we're going to die, and those tangled threads of the Shi family might cause trouble..."

Ningzhou can be in chaos!

Some trouble is bound to happen!

But we absolutely cannot allow any major problems to arise!

The Shi family had been operating in Yunhuai and Ningzhou for generations, so they still had to show some basic respect to this wealthiest family in the world!

"Too!"

Lu Si nodded, and said fiercely, "No matter what, as long as we can wipe out the Shi family and their henchmen in one fell swoop, that's fine!"
