Chapter 439: Throwing the Cup as a Signal [Two in One]

The singing and dancing continued, and the battle between the two most outstanding dancers had reached a fever pitch. The two of them were spinning around like a magic battle, which was becoming more and more dazzling.

Liang Yue looked at this intense scene and couldn't help but say, "Stop fighting."

The real prince on the second floor was even more impatient, "I have never seen two women fighting for me in my life, how can this be..."

Hu Delu consoled him, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Liang Bandu will know what to do."

"That's right." The prince consoled himself, "I heard that Liang Yue has a close relationship with Miss Wen from the Evil Execution Division. He shouldn't dare to do anything outrageous in Yunlu City. These beauties..."

Before he could finish his words, Liang Yue waved and said, "You two stop fighting, come and sit together."

The prince was stunned: "He wants them all?"

Isn't this too outrageous?
The reason why Liang Yue did this was naturally not because he was attracted by her beauty, but because he felt that the time was about right.

These two women trying so hard to attract him, it's definitely not that simple, maybe it was arranged by one of the people present. Judging from Yuan Fukang's expression, one of them might be someone he sent. If he lets him succeed, it should be able to attract his attention.

Sure enough, after Liang Yue asked the two of them to sit over together, a smile appeared on Yuan Fukang's face.

This young man.

You can't help it anymore, right?
Hu Delu heard that the prince was about to cry, so he quickly advised: "Liang Bandu must be trying to confuse his opponent. As long as Yuan Fukang lets down his guard, he will smash the cup as a signal, and I will take action immediately."

Just as he said, they were prepared today.

After catching a glimpse of Yuan Fukang's smile, Liang Yue's hand swept lightly to the side, about to sweep the cups off the table.

……

Wei Lingfeng, who was standing aside, was also staring at Liang Yue's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

He is also prepared today.

In this game, he and the prince were on the same side. They had already agreed yesterday that if Liang Yue threw the cup, Hu Delu would suppress Yuan Fukang.

The Wei family does not need help at this time, but if someone from the Zhou family takes action, the Wei family's priest must help stop them.

Wei Lingfeng had already informed his own priest secretly, and was staring at Qi Delong and Zhou Baihe on the side. If they made any unusual movements, he would take action without hesitation!
What is an abnormal movement?

Breathing is movement!

Especially Zhou Baihe, he has a deeper connection with the Yihuo Sect. He is directly accused of colluding with the traitor. Who can say that it is not true?
In fact, the three great families of Qingdu have been fighting internally and uniting externally over the years, especially in the process of wrestling with Shendu, they can only bargain with the imperial power by tying themselves together. They know very well that once they are divided, they will be easily controlled.

Especially after thousands of years of inheritance, they all claim to be the superior clan and will not kill each other easily.

In the past, it was impossible to eliminate the head of a rival family.

Even if we take a step back and say that the real power core of most aristocratic families is the group of clan elders behind the head of the family, killing the head of the family in front of the stage will not be of much use except making enemies.

But the situation is different today. The Wei family has been at the bottom of the three major families for many years. Now that the Qi family has lost power and the Zhou family is in crisis, it is inevitable that the prince will use the Yun Palace Villa case to wipe out the forces in Yunlu City.

Wei Lingfeng didn't think that such a big thing would be decided by the prince alone. It was obvious that the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to reshuffle Qingdu, perhaps to pave the way for the prince to ascend to the throne in the future.

This is the biggest change in Qing capital that has not happened in a thousand years!
As long as he can cling to the prince's thigh during this change, it goes without saying that the Wei family will become the top family in the future. If the power of the Qi family and the Zhou family is weakened, won't the Wei family be able to dominate Yunlu City?

In recent years, the Wei family has been suppressed by the Qi family to a greater extent and the Zhou family to a lesser extent. The ambitious Wei Lingfeng has long wanted to change this situation, and the opportunity is today!
……

Zhou Baihe on the opposite side actually had murderous intent hidden under his smile.

It was not until he saw Liang Yue inviting the beautiful woman to sit down that he relaxed his guard a little.

He is also prepared today.

Before coming here, he had been a little worried that the prince would take the opportunity to attack Yuan Fukang.

After all, he was the one who called Yuan Fukang here. If something goes wrong, who knows what those crazy people from the Righteous Fire Cult behind him will do...

The Zhou family had too many connections with the Yihuo Sect before. If the imperial court wanted to punish the Yihuo Sect, it would be difficult for the Zhou family to break away.

No one wants today's peace talks to succeed more than he does.

Fortunately, things seemed to be going smoothly. The prince got the answer he wanted, and the Yihuo Sect was willing to bow to the court. The result was quite satisfactory.

Zhou Baihe glanced in a certain direction opposite him and was no longer so nervous.

Before coming here today, he had originally arranged for several powerful Zhou family members to serve as retainers. If anything unexpected happened, they would smash the cup as a signal and take action immediately.

The first goal is to ensure his own safety, and then it would be best to take advantage of the chaos to kill Qi Delong and Wei Lingfeng, because once the prince and Yuan Fukang fight, no matter who wins or loses, the big families in this city will need to clean up the mess in the end.

As long as he kills those two people and reaches a tacit understanding with the winner, he can cover up everything that happened today.

If the prince won, it would mean that the Qi family and the Wei family killed Yuan Fukang; if the Yihuo Sect won, it would mean that the Qi family and the Wei family assassinated the prince.

Although it is very dangerous, once something happens, the Zhou family can only save themselves by taking this risk.

The best outcome now is for everyone to live in harmony. Feeling relieved, he pushed the cup in his hand towards the table.

……

Outside Hongyufang, Chunyu Fu and Shi Pan glanced at the tall buildings along the river and exchanged glances with their brothers on the street with gloomy eyes.

Bashan is fully prepared today.

They had already agreed with the female assassin in the building that smashing the cup would be the signal.

Once she approaches and successfully holds the prince hostage, she will immediately smash the cups and they will rush over to support her.

If she failed, it would be difficult for Nabashan's men to break through the protectors and guards around the prince head-on, and they would scatter and retreat.

Chunyu Fu had warned the assassin many times to make his move only when he was at an extremely close distance. There was no chance to wait until the next time. If he failed in a hasty move, he would have no chance in the future.

The prince's cultivation level is not high. With her skills, it should not be difficult for her to succeed as long as she can successfully close the distance.

Bashan came here not to assassinate, but to capture the prince alive.

On the one hand, this can enhance Bashan's prestige and damage the court's reputation; on the other hand, it can intensify the court's attention to the Zhao Faxian case. Even the prince who came to investigate the case was stuck in this, so Liang Fuguo's guilt will only be heavier.

As for the prince himself, he doesn't really mean much.

Bashan was actually very familiar with the imperial court. They knew that given Emperor Mu Beidi's character, it was impossible for him to make too big a sacrifice for the prince.

You asked him to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to redeem the prince, that's possible.

If you want to use the crown prince to exchange for some huge benefits, such as getting the court to recognize the founding of Bashan, lifting the blockade of Bashan or giving Bashan some substantial funding, these are absolutely impossible.

This prince is not a wise and brave descendant of the royal family. If he dies, the worst that can happen is to wait a few years. There are still the sixth and ninth princes, so Emperor Mu Beidi will not feel too sad.

Therefore, for Bashan, it was enough to capture this person. As for what he could get in return, it depended on the price offered by the court, which was not that important. As soon as the sound of cups breaking was heard, the heroes of Bashan would rush in and capture the prince alive! To strengthen our mountain's prestige!

……

Yuan Fukang watched Liang Yue call the beautiful woman over, and he relaxed a little, and his hand moved a little further away from his cup.

Today, he is also prepared.

As one of the few flag owners of the Yihuo Sect and in charge of the affairs of Yunlu City, he holds a high position and has great power, so it is naturally impossible for him to attend the meeting alone.

In the building next to Red Fish House, a group of Yihuo Sect's death warriors were lying in ambush. As long as he smashed the cup as a signal, this group of masters would rush in to cover his retreat. If he could gain the upper hand, then he would just start a massacre!

Anyway, if this is a Hongmen Banquet, it means that the imperial court is going to take action against the Yihuo Sect, so they might as well make a big move early.

The Yihuo Sect now has a very solid foundation in Nanzhou and Yuezhou. It would be good if it could develop for a while longer, but if it is absolutely necessary, then it might as well start the rebellion immediately.

By then, the anti-Yin forces at home and abroad will be connected to join forces to achieve this event, and everything will be full of vitality and flourish, which will be a great thing.

Thinking of that scene, Yuan Fukang couldn't help but feel a little excited. Of course, it would be best if they could live in peace.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince seemed quite friendly, and after he showed interest in the beauties he had arranged for him, Yuan Fukang was completely relieved.

What bad intentions could a lustful person have?

Yuan Fukang gave up the idea of ​​taking the initiative and decided to lie in wait, and put his cup back.

……

Seeing two beauties walking towards him, Yuan Fukang smiled and relaxed his vigilance. Liang Yue knew that the best opportunity had come.

He immediately swept his hand and knocked his cup to the ground!
The moment the cup fell, the eyes of everyone present trembled...

At the critical moment, the dancer sent by Bashan stretched out her legs, her slender and white legs straightened, and she caught the cup dropped by Liang Yue with her toes. Her beautiful legs were outlined like a jade carving.

"Your Highness." She smiled, "Your cup."

"This..." Liang Yue smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for your help."

There was an obvious sound of relief all around, and that just now made everyone in the room pause for breath.

The same thing happened to the beautiful Bashan. She was about to reach the distance of attack, but her target suddenly knocked the cup down. She hadn't succeeded yet. If the brothers downstairs got the signal and rushed up first, the prince's protectors would definitely be alerted, which would lead to disaster.

That's why she took the risk of exposing her skills and quickly took a few steps forward to catch the cup.

At this time, Liang Yue was being watched by everyone, so it would be a bit deliberate to deliberately throw the cup. When he was thinking about how to throw it next, a crisp sound suddenly came from his ears.

Snapped!
Qi Delong accidentally dropped a teacup and broke it, with the broken pieces splashing all over him.

“……”The whole audience was silent.

"Ah." Qi Delong stood up with a smile, "My clothes are dirty, I'm going to..."

That's right.

Qi Delong is also prepared today.

He planned to see that the banquet was almost over, then find an excuse to slip away, go home to drink some wolfberry and ginseng soup, and then continue to work hard for the next generation of the Qi family.

So when he saw that the prince and Yuan Fukang had reached an agreement, everyone was having a great time, and the singing and dancing had ended, he wanted to slip away, so he threw the teacup to the ground.

But before he could finish his words, a rainbow light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say the words "I'll go change it" after all, only said the two words "I'll go".

Fortunately, these two words can better express his feelings.

I go? !
At this moment, no one could figure out how many people had rushed in.

……

Breaking the cup is the number!

Qi Delong's crisp sound alarmed heroes from all directions.

The first to take action was Hu Delu on the second floor. He left a message, "Old Zhao, keep an eye on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Before his words were out, someone had already broken through the window and pressed down on Yuan Fukang with a palm!
It is indeed a scam!

Yuan Fukang sensed the crisis and his whole body burst into flames. He wanted to dodge away, but Hu Delu would not let him escape. He flipped his palm and activated the formation, suppressing the entire space.

Before he suppressed them, he never thought there would be so many people here!
The Wei family's priest rushed out from the room behind, and two old men stood on the left and right. One attacked Yuan Fukang, and the other glanced at Zhou Baihe.

Breathing!
Then three swords flashing silver light flew out, and someone rushed out from behind Zhou Baihe and caught them.

The wall of the restaurant next door was smashed down, and a team of red-clothed and masked warriors rushed in. They were none other than the Yihuo Sect's warriors!
Yuan Fukang pointed at Liang Yue who was standing opposite him, "I'm fine, go catch the prince!"

And they were not the only ones who wanted to capture the prince. The woman who had just shown off her beautiful legs and caught the cup, reacted quickly when she saw the situation getting chaotic. She turned her hand and tried to grab Liang Yue's throat!

But Liang Yue retreated and easily turned into an afterimage to dodge the attack.

Seeing the chaotic situation, he retreated back and hid in a room, instantly turning into a virtual being.

Oh my god, how can there be so many people all of a sudden?

The woman was stunned for a moment, because according to her intelligence, the prince's cultivation was not high, and he could not escape her capture at all. But she could not afford to be distracted at this moment, if she could not capture the prince, they would all suffer.

So she chased after him and jumped in.

The strong man who was in charge of the mountain downstairs rushed up when he heard the sound of the cup breaking. When he saw her chasing in, he also rushed in shouting.

On the other side, the Yihuo Sect's warriors also broke through the wall and rushed in. When both sides rushed into the room, they did not see Liang Yue's shadow, but only saw the ferocious-looking other party. They immediately realized the same thing.

"There's an ambush!"

The people from Bashan and Yihuojiao roared, picked up their steel knives and started fighting.

Here, the fierce general Shi Pan was like a god of war. He chopped several Yihuo Sect warriors into pieces with one blow, creating a bloody gap in their flesh. He shouted loudly, "Brothers! Kill!"

This group of strong men suddenly appeared and hacked the Yihuo Sect's assassins into a daze.

Yuan Fukang was being beaten by Hu Delu. He had wanted to send his men to chase the prince, but ended up seeing a group of people being killed and coming back with loud shouting, which made his eyes narrow.

I did think there might be some arrangements today.

But I didn’t expect there were so many arrangements!
This dog prince has such deep calculations!
