Tang Yin took out a large quantity of treasures from the palace and handed them over to Jiang Lou. He told him to head to Shang Jing first to gather the ministers and princes of the capital. This errand was not risky, it was just a long way to go. Jiang Lou did not think much into it and gladly accepted it. Tang Yin was not at ease with him traveling alone, he had even specially assigned a group of his personal bodyguards to protect Jiang Lou. He also sent out some Sky Eye and Earth Web scouts to accompany him, making it easy for him to pass on the message.

After making all these arrangements, Tang Yin planned to command the army to the south to attack Zhong Tian's Wan City. But at this moment, a sudden change completely disrupted his plans.

Originally, when Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen thought about it, the Zhan Clan had already been killed by Zhong Tian long ago, and there would no longer be any descendants left. However, just as Tang Yin was about to deploy his army to attack the Wan City, someone revealed the announcement that was posted on the Yan City, and claimed that they were Zhan Xiong's disciples.

Zhan Xiong was the younger brother of Feng King Zhan Hua. After Zhong Tian took over the position, Zhan Xiong's entire family was also exterminated, this time, a descendant suddenly appearing, it was truly too surprising.

When the news reached Tang Yin's side, he was at home discussing about attacking Wan City with the generals and strategists under his command. After hearing the news from the guards below, the entire hall was in an uproar, all the generals and strategists were shocked, and they all looked towards Tang Yin.

Tang Yin's expression did not change, but the teacup in his hand released a crisp sound, and the tea inside flowed into his hand.

"My lord!"

The guard next to him hurried forward and handed the handkerchief to Dudian. Tang Yin threw away the broken pieces of the teacup in his hands and took the handkerchief. He wiped the tea off his hands and looked at the soldiers who had come to report with a profound gaze.

"Sir, it is absolutely true. Now, the descendant of Zhan Xiong has been brought back to the Left Prime Minister Mansion by the Prime Minister Liang. " The messenger urgently said.

Liang Qi secretly grinned when he heard it, and muttered in his heart: Father is truly muddleheaded! It is already clear that Tang Yin has the heart of a king. But now that you have brought this Zhan Xiong over to your own house, doesn't that mean you are creating trouble for yourself?

A wise son cannot have a father, and a father cannot have a son. Liang Qi understood that in his heart, his father didn't want Tang Yin to become king, because in this way, the Liang family's power would also come to an end. Now, after the sudden appearance of Zhan Xiong, his father would definitely be wild with joy, thinking that he would be able to break Tang Yin's road and raise a new monarch of the Windy Nation. But how could it be so simple?

Tang Yin asked his guards to bring him another cup of tea, then he picked up the teacup and took a slow sip. After he drank the tea, his mind calmed down. He asked: "What is the name of that person who claimed to be the next Zhan Xiong? Why is it that when Zhan Xiong's entire family was killed, only he was able to keep his life? "

The soldier replied, "This woman's name is Zhan Ling. As for why she was able to keep her life, I don't know."

"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is she a girl?"

"Yes!" "I heard he's not even twenty yet." The soldier answered truthfully.

Tang Yin nodded, looking at the generals and strategists under his command. In fact, it didn't matter whether the opponent was a man or a woman, even women had the right to inherit the throne. As long as she was truly the descendant of Zhan Xiong and was willing to inherit the throne, then this matter would be decided.

"Everyone, what do you have to say?" Tang Yin slowly asked.

"Oh …" At this time, Qiu Zhen was also dumbstruck, he had originally leaned towards Tang Yin and wanted to fight for the throne, but who would have thought that a member of the Zhan Clan would actually appear, and even be of direct lineage! He pondered for a moment, then said: "Master, do not be anxious, whether this woman is Zhan Xiong or not, we have not determined, maybe... Someone came out to fake it. "

After hearing his words, everyone could not help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. For such a big matter, the possibility of impersonation was too low. To pretend to be a descendant of a royal family was a felony of extermination. Who would have the guts to do so? "Moreover, the other party was a young girl who had not yet reached twenty years of age.

Just at this time, another soldier hurriedly ran in from outside. When he was near Tang Yin, he knelt on one knee and said: "Master, Prime Minister Wu requests an audience!"

Tang Yin's mind shook, and he immediately said: "Quickly, invite him in." Tang Yin and the other clan leaders were not very familiar with the palace nobles, but as one of the four great nobles and a member of the Right Prime Minister, Wu Yu knew very well whether this woman's identity was real or fake.

"Yes!" "Milord."

The soldier replied and quickly ran out of the hall. Not long after, Wu Yu was led into the hall by a group of soldiers.

The old man didn't look at the others and directly walked to Tang Yin's side and asked in a low voice, "Nephew Tang, you heard about it too, right?"

There was no need to explain anything, Tang Yin naturally understood what Wu Yu was asking. He replied, "I just heard. Prime Minister Wu, just what exactly is this person … "

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wu Yu cut him off with a wave of his hand. At the same time, he looked around and said softly, "Let's talk inside the room."

Tang Yin was clever, upon hearing this, he immediately felt that the matter was not simple. He secretly frowned as he walked with Wu Yu to the side room in the lobby.

Wu Yu was very cautious. He closed the door behind him, and then said to Tang Yin: "This matter is troublesome."

Tang Yin asked: "Is that person really Zhan Xiong's descendant?"

Wu Yu nodded his head gravely, and said: "Zhan Xiong indeed had a daughter called Zhan Ling, but it's just that she was born from Zhan Xiong and the Maidservant below, so she is not a favorite. Furthermore, she had gone missing unexpectedly when she was very young, and Zhan Xiong had searched her for a while, but he could not find any clues, so it ended with him leaving her alone and it became an unsolved case. I also did not expect Zhan Ling to still be alive after all these years, and to even be able to avoid Zhong Tian's slaughter. "

While talking, Wu Yu could not help but shake his head and sigh.

From the bottom of his heart, he did not really wish for Tang Yin to become king, but he was even more unwilling to see Liang Xing taking control of the country. Now that Liang Xing had brought this Spirit Exhibition Treasure that suddenly popped up into his own mansion, he understood his intentions, it was definitely to nurture Zhan Ling and help her ascend the throne.

Wu Yu was very clear that even though Liang Xing was normally talking and laughing with him in a polite manner, once he was in charge of power, he would be the first one out of luck.

Tang Yin didn't have that many considerations, at the moment, he just wanted to find out whether this woman was Zhan Ling or not. He pondered for a while and said, "Since Zhan Ling has been living in the outside world since she was very young, I believe there aren't many people who have seen or known her. What evidence can you possibly have to prove that she is Zhan Ling?"

Wu Yu said as he laughed bitterly: "She knows the situation in Zhan Xiong's residence like the back of his hand, from the various ladies and gentlemen, to the servants and Maidservant s, they all seem to be treasures. Furthermore, she also carried a jade pendant, which Former King had bestowed to his back then, and it can't be fake. I think it was precisely because Liang Xing saw this jade pendant that he confirmed this woman's identity, and brought her back to his own home to protect himself at the first moment."

"Damn it!" After hearing what Wu Yu had said, the conclusion was obvious, this girl should be Zhan Ling.

Wu Yu looked at Tang Yin who was pacing back and forth in his room, and said faintly: "Now, Liang Xing has gathered all of the concerned ministers into his own home, it seems like he is discussing about the establishment of Zhan Ling as the Queen. Nephew Tang, you need to make preparations early!"

Tang Yin squinted, turned his head and stared at Wu Yu, then slowly asked: "Prime Minister Wu means …"

"As long as Zhan Ling is here, it would be extremely difficult for nephew Tang to ascend to the throne, unless …" Wu Yu did not continue the sentence he was about to say, but he already understood the meaning behind his words.

Tang Yin's eyes flashed with a light as his killing intent surged. That's right! If he didn't get rid of Zhan Ling, the descendant of the Zhan Clan, then he would have no chance to become the champion. Thinking up to here, he strode to the door, extended his hand out and pulled it open, and shouted: "Cheng Jin!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Cheng Jin who was standing in the hall heard Tang Yin's shout, and was startled. He quickly responded and quickly walked over.

Everyone in the lobby looked at each other, but no one said anything. Everyone was not dumb, Tang Yin did not call for anyone else, only Cheng Jin. Seems like he was going to need to use the power of the hidden arrows to solve the problem.

Zhang Zhe, who was among the strategists rolled his eyes, and immediately said to Qiu Zhen in a low voice: "Master Qiu, Master, please do not do this, it will cause Master and our army to be in an irreparable situation."

Ah? Qiu Zhen sucked in a cold breath and nodded secretly. Zhang Zhe was right, if he really used the hidden arrow to assassinate Zhan Ling, even if the plan succeeded, the paper would not be able to contain the fire, what if it leaked out? Thinking about it, Qiu Zhen walked to the side room with big strides, without saying anything.

Although Zhang Zhe was one of the important strategists under Tang Yin's command, their relationship wasn't as close as Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen's. There were some things that he didn't dare to say on his own accord, and could only ask Qiu Zhen for help.

Just as Cheng Jin entered the side room and was about to close the door, Qiu Zhen walked in. was startled, Master is not calling Qiu Zhen by name, why is he here? In the Tianyuan Army, Cheng Jin did not put any generals in his eyes, and only dreaded Qiu Zhen by thirty percent. He did not dare to directly question Qiu Zhen, and turned to look at him instead.

Tang Yin also did not know what Qiu Zhen was up to recently. He raised his head and asked, "Qiu Zhen …"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Zhen was already shaking his hands, and said: "Master, please do not, please do not!"

"What can't I do?" Tang Yin was shocked by his nonsense.

Qiu Zhen closed his hand and closed the door tightly, then asked softly: "Master called General Cheng, would you like to kill me with a hidden arrow to assassinate Zhan Ling?"

There was no way Qiu Zhen could hide anything from him. Tang Yin did not hide it and nodded, then said: "I do have that intention."
