Chapter 257: Your nephew is a person?
Du Rugui's words were very subtle.
Previously, when he entered the palace, he appeared before Emperor Dakang.
The latter asked him about the whereabouts of the thief who broke into the Du family.
At that time, his answer was that the thief had been killed.
And now he asked Emperor Dakang whether he had been executed by now.
This moment is just like that moment.
The atmosphere also became dead silent.
After saying that, Du Rugui kept silent.
The same was true of Emperor Dakang.
These two people were not in a relationship of king and subject, but they looked at each other as if they wanted to see flowers on each other's faces.
Chen Huangpi didn't understand what these two people were doing.
In his opinion, the worst that could happen is a fight to the death.
It's just a matter of a big war.
But when it comes to these two people, it seems like that is not the case.
He was ready to fight violently, and at the same time he said in his heart: "Huang Er, these two are so strange, they don't talk, and they don't fight, so why are they just watching?"
The brass lamp maliciously speculated, "Perhaps they are secretly communicating that Old Man Du has sold us out and is teaming up with Emperor Dakang to play dirty tricks."
"real or fake?"
Chen Huangpi didn't believe it: "If the message was sent secretly, wouldn't you be able to find it?"
The brass oil lamp is not that powerful.
But there are many strange skills.
For example, you can hear other people’s secret conversations.
At this time, the voice of Fox Mountain God sounded faintly: "It's not that I'm going to play dirty, it's that these two people are very shady. Previously in the Yangxin Palace, Du Rugui was suppressed by the Dakang Emperor."
"Now he has taken the lead and has already won by seven or eight points."
"Fox Mountain God, you are not talking nonsense, are you?"
Chen Huangpi said: "Although Mr. Du is very powerful, Emperor Dakang is much more powerful than him. How did he win?"
"You do not understand."
The Fox Mountain God said, "Du Rugui said that on purpose. He said that to test whether Emperor Dakang had noticed that it was you who had attacked him earlier. If so, he would have attacked you as soon as he came up."
"If not, then I will naturally answer any questions as they come."
"Then he is silent now. Does he know or not?"
"You'll find out later."
After saying this, the Fox Mountain God hiding in the Book of Souls said nothing more.
Although he is a bit tough.
The Fox Mountain God's strength is not outstanding.
But it is a fox, and it is naturally endowed with cunning wisdom.
It knew that Emperor Dakang would definitely be able to see that Chen Huangpi was the one who did it.
But what it doesn't understand is.
What was Emperor Dakang thinking at this moment?
And there is Du Rugui.
To dare to take on this situation requires real confidence and courage!
At this moment.
Emperor Dakang narrowed his narrow eyes slightly. He looked at Du Rugui in front of him, and thoughts emerged in his mind one after another.
There is murderous intent and fear.
But there are also some different thoughts.
He didn't care that someone was trying to assassinate him, nor did he care that the person was indeed very powerful.
I don’t care that he is just a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
What he cares about is the variables.
Changes will disrupt his plans.
But if we know the existence of this variable, we can incorporate it into our plan.
Even if you are just a spare piece, it may come in handy at a critical moment.
Du Rugui looked indifferent.
In fact, he was not what he seemed, and he was also feeling uneasy.
Emperor Dakang seemed to be stumped by his own question, but in fact it was a response.
He took the initiative to make a statement, and it depended on the attitude of Emperor Dakang.
He bet that Emperor Dakang's vision and ambitions were higher than he thought.
He also bet that the hexagram indicated that misfortune would turn into fortune.
However, the initiative now lies in the hands of Emperor Dakang.
The less the Emperor Dakang spoke, the greater the pressure on him. Fortunately, this strangely calm atmosphere was soon broken.
Emperor Dakang did not discuss the whereabouts of the so-called assassin, but turned the topic to Chen Huangpi: "Old Du, the secret guards told me that this young man dressed as a Taoist priest is your nephew?"
Du Rugui's heart tightened, and he said calmly, "Yes, my nephew has been practicing Taoism since he was young. My brother often said that he has the spirit of ancient practitioners and lofty ambitions. The prosperity of the Du family in the future should depend on him."
He knew that Emperor Dakang's ambiguous attitude was actually telling him that he already knew that Chen Huangpi was the assassin.
I believe that Emperor Dakang would understand the hidden meaning of his words.
"The Du family is good."
Emperor Dakang suddenly laughed: "I know the origins of the Du family, but I didn't expect that even their sons and nephews are so extraordinary. They have the style of ancient cultivators at such a young age. They will surely achieve great things in the future."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Du Rugui stroked his beard and said to Chen Huangpi, "Nephew, why don't you say hello to His Majesty?"
Chen Huangpi blinked and said innocently, "Hello, Your Majesty!"
"What's your name?"
"My name is Chen Huangpi."
"Oh, your last name is Chen?"
Emperor Da Kang raised his eyebrows: "Why not Du?"
Yes, why not Du...
Du Rugui even wanted to strangle Chen Huangpi to death.
"Because my master's last name is not Du."
Du Rugui smiled and said, "Yes, my nephew has been studying under a famous teacher since he was young. He has the same surname as that senior."
Emperor Da Kang nodded and said, "Your brother allowed his son to change his surname. It seems that the elder must be a great figure. This child is very lucky."
Chen Huangpi wanted to speak again.
Du Rugui took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, there have been strange phenomena in the sky recently, and there have been assassins in the palace. I think Your Majesty will be busy with worldly affairs for a while, so I will not bother you anymore."
"Mr. Du, please do as you please."
Emperor Dakang bowed slightly, still showing great respect for Du Rugui.
And just then.
Wang Taiyu and Yingzi Xieyi suddenly rushed towards them.
The two men did not see the previous scene.
But they saw Chen Huangpi.
All of a sudden, both of their minds went blank.
Especially the evil shadow.
It looked like it had seen a ghost.
How come Chen Huangpi is in the palace?
Isn't he at home?
Wang Taiyu's face turned red.
In the morning, Chen Huangpi asked if he could be taken into the palace.
At that time, I thought there were too many people in the palace and I refused.
But unexpectedly, he came by himself.
Also, how did he get involved with Du Rugui?
Chen Huangpi was also stunned for a moment.
When Du Rugui saw this, he couldn't help but have a very bad feeling in his heart.
Look back again.
The Emperor Dakang said with a smile: "My tutor is here too, why do you look like this? Do you also know this Chen Huangpi?"
Wang Taiyu's eyelids twitched wildly and he wanted to deny it outright, but his previous expression had already made it clear.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is as good as a god. Chen Huangpi is my nephew."
"Junior, is it a nephew?"
"My nephew."
"He has a master, right?"
Wang Taiyu lowered his head and said with a complicated expression, "That's right. He has been learning from a master since he was young and has learned a lot of skills. Something happened in the palace before, and he was young and restless, so he entered the palace without permission to check. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
"Hahaha, I don't blame you."
Emperor Dakang smiled and helped Wang Taiyu up, saying meaningfully: "But Master, since you and Mr. Du have the same nephew, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Taiyu looked at Du Rugui.
It was the first time he met Du Rugui, but he didn't expect that they had become relatives.
This is really hard to justify.
Du Rugui smiled and said, "Taiyu is your majesty's confidant, and the Du family never interferes in the affairs of the court, so it is inconvenient to disclose this relationship to avoid rumors and chaos in the court."
Emperor Dakang did not comment, and said calmly: "In that case, you can all go down together." (End of this chapter)
