Chapter 63 Unfair Trial
The door behind him was finally pushed open with a creak. Ouyang Hongye came out, looking haggard. After a few steps, he almost fell to the ground and was held by thorns and wind and fire.
"It's finally..." Ouyang Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Leng finally survived."
"Great! You are also tired of spending a day and a night to treat him. The thorns, wind and fire help the red leaves to rest, and leave the next thing to the demon servants. Ouyang Yong ordered.
"Yes!"
The thorns and wind and fire helped Ouyang Hongye to leave, but Ouyang Hongye turned to Xia Qiu and said to her in a very weak voice, "Go and see him. Although he is in a coma, you will definitely make him feel better when you are around."
Xia Qiu took a look at Ouyang Yong. Seeing that he also nodded, he walked into the room. ** Behind the curtain, Ouyang Xiao Leng was lying there, with gauze wrapped around his chest and arms, and several scars on his cheeks. His face showed a painful expression from time to time, as if he was suffering from the pain on his body. And her heart was not the same pain. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked his cheek to give him support and comfort. This scene seemed familiar. She couldn't help but think of their first meeting many years ago, and he was also injured that day. She grabbed his hand, and the faint temperature reassured her. Fortunately, she didn't lose him, and he was still by her side.
"How did Yasha run out of the dungeon?"
After sending Ouyang Hongye to rest, he returned to the thorns in the Fuxing Hall with the leopard demon Fenghuo, and heard the questioning of Lion Wangcheng outside Ouyang Yong's room.
"I'm also puzzled. The lock of the dungeon is intact, and the seal is also destroyed from the outside. If he doesn't have the ability to shell the golden cicada, then someone in the palace will let him go." Ouyang Yong replied.
"Now there are rumors everywhere in the royal city. It is incomprehensible that Wangyue should have executed Yecha in Yinsong, but it is incomprehensible to bring him back to Wangcheng." Although Lion Wangcheng did not fully believe the words of the princes, he also felt that there was some truth.
"Do you also listen to those people's nonsense? Wang Yue just followed the instructions of Xiao Leng, me and Hongye to catch him back so that he could get the news of Qingyun from him.
"I know that, but don't you think it's strange? How can the hidden pine that Qingyun took so much effort to keep this night fork alone to guard the city? No matter how powerful he is, it is not common sense, so..."
"I believe that Wangyue is a man. His brother Tingyue was also killed by Qingyun, including Dao Yu, the owner of the old city who was forced to die by Yecha, is also his best friend. He can't have any contact with Qingyun." Ouyang Yong retorted for Wang Yue.
"In any case, when he returns from Yasha, we must confront him in front of the princes in order to calm the doubts of the princes. Xiao Leng has just ascended the throne. Now people's hearts are not stable, but such a thing happens at this time, alas.
"Well, that's it."
The thorns and the wind and fire finally stopped arguing between the two people in the house and walked in.
"How's the red leaf?" Ouyang Yong asked when he saw them coming back.
"I fell asleep as soon as I got back to the room." The thorn replied.
"No wonder, in order to save Xiao Leng, he treated him with demon power all day and night, and finally it was not in vain." Ouyang Yong nodded, as if talking to himself.
"Yes, yes." Shi Wangcheng stood up as he sighed, "I'll go back to rest first. Let's wait until Wangyue comes back."
After getting the news that Ouyang Xiao Leng had not woken up but was out of danger, the princes and nobles crowded in front of the gate of the Chenji Palace finally slowly dispersed. But the atmosphere in the royal city is still tense. Although the soldiers retreat from the streets, they have to patrol on a large scale every few hours.
Wang Yue has been chasing him since Yecha attacked Ouyang Xiao Leng. This time, he has made up his mind that he will never take any rules. As long as Yecha is caught by him, he will definitely cut off his head and take him back to the king's city. He rode a demon horse all the way from Wangcheng to the south to chase Yecha. He almost caught up with him several times, but failed. Finally, Yecha disappeared in a forest.
During the short period of Wangyue chasing Yecha, princes kept writing to the two elders, Ouyang Yong and Shi Wangcheng, fabricating all kinds of evidence about his rebellion. Although most of the slanders seem to be self-depreted, there are also a few people who say it well, and he himself does not know that he is facing an unprecedented crisis.
Ouyang Yong is very clear why these people are so suspicious, because whenever Qingyun is involved, the princes and nobles in the royal city will become neurotic. Their fear of him has reached an incomprehensible level. Fear makes them feel like they are in the dark, because if they can't see it will make people hallucinate, so that any person or thing they think may be related to Qingyun will make them collapse and go crazy.
If you want to calm their uneasy mood, you must rely on these people to vote on whether to open a public trial of Wangyue. If most people agree, then Wangyue must accept all kinds of questions in front of the elders, princes and nobles.
This is what Ouyang Yong is most worried about. Although Wang Yue usually seems to be informal and only knows how to drink and have fun, it is the opposite of his brother listening to Yue. He is a very proud person. He suspects for no reason that he has defected to Qingyun, the murderer who killed his brother. He is likely to touch his bottom line and even let him give up for himself. Opportunity to argue.
Wang Yue has felt that he was in the conspiracy of Yecha. It seems that he deliberately lost to himself in the city of Yinsong. He bet that he would not kill him immediately, but took him back to the royal city to wait for disposal. But at the same time, he also thought that there must be a night fork in the king's city, otherwise how could he escape from the heavily guarded dungeon at night and unexpectedly attack Ouyang Xiao Leng?
Thinking of Xiao Leng, he couldn't help worrying about his injury. He accidentally fell into Yecha's trick, but it hurt Xiao Leng. When he left Wangcheng, he knew that Xiao Leng was very injured. He thought that since he could not find the trace of Yecha, he might as well rush back to Wangcheng to see Xiao Leng's situation.
The next morning, Shi Wangcheng and Ouyang Yong discussed with Ouyang Yong to summon the prince and some powerful nobles to the Chenji Palace and decide whether to hold a public trial of Wangyue in the form of a vote. Although Ouyang Yong was reluctant, he couldn't resist the truth of Lion Wangcheng. After all, Xiao Leng had just ascended the throne and must calm down the uneasiness between the princes and nobles as soon as possible, otherwise it would be unfavorable for him to control the demon world. As a close relative of Xiao Leng, if he can't get a fair trial according to common sense, it will inevitably make others unconvinced.
When Wang Yuefeng dust returned to the Chenji Palace, he went straight to the Yuheng Palace. From the strange eyes of the guards outside the gate and even the servants in the palace, he seemed to have caught something. Before he reached the Heavenly Power Hall, he heard the noise inside. Those sounds seemed to be surging out of the hall. It sounded like they were talking about themselves, but the words were so far away from him.
"What if he thinks he has been exposed and will not return?"
"Yes, I shouldn't have let him chased Yecha at the beginning!"
"That man once disappeared in Wangcheng for a long time, saying that he was wandering around. Who knows what he did."
"I have drunk with him, and I think he is still very easy-going."
"The knife hidden in the smile is the most terrible!"
"..."
Wang Yue stepped into the Heavenly Power Hall with these countless harsh condemnation. His appearance was like a rest, which made everyone in the hall quiet in an instant. As he walked forward, he looked at the faces of the princes and nobles standing on both sides. They were all quick-paced villains. When they saw him, they were extremely afraid. Many of them even turned their faces and did not dare to look directly at him, which inevitably made him feel ridiculous.
Ouyang Yong and Lion Wang Cheng sat on the two chairs under the throne of the former demon king in the hall. Behind them stood thorns, words and wind and fire. As soon as they saw the figure of the moon, Ouyang Yong's face showed an extremely complicated expression. How can he convey the results of the votes of many princes and nobles to Wang Yue? When he came back, he had to be judged in front of everyone, which always made Ouyang Yong feel sorry for the person in front of him.
"Since Wangyue has come back, let's tell him the result of everyone's vote!" At the moment when Ouyang Yong was meditating, Lion Wangcheng reminded him.
"Uh-huh!" Although Ouyang Yong had no choice, he only agreed.
"Wangyue, I know it's very hard for you to pursue Yecha all the way, but now the princes and nobles in the royal city have some questions for you to answer."
Before the Lion King Cheng's voice fell, Wang Yue sneered, "This posture is not a question at all, but to judge me directly in public!" Well, I'd like to hear what you suspect about me."
Wangyue's reaction was exactly what Ouyang Yong was worried about. He took a long breath, but he could not rush to defend him. Instead, he had to pretend to be fair and listen to everyone's questions first. He thought that although everyone had doubts about him, he was also in the stage of suspicion, and there was no conclusive evidence to prove Wang Yue and Qingyun. What's the connection? Now is not the time to mess up.
"If you have any questions about the moon before, you can ask him one by one." Ouyang Yong said to the princes standing below.
At first, everyone muttered and didn't dare to ask loudly. At this time, I don't know who shouted below, "We should tie him up first. What if we ask him is really Qingyun's accomplice and let him run away?"
Immediately followed by bursts of attachment.
"Yes, yes, since everyone voted to judge him, how can he be so relaxed?"
"Yes, tie him up so that he won't run away."
"I agree."
Wang Yue shook her head with a wry smile. He saw his dilemma from Ouyang Yong's face, and also realized that in order to calm the fear of Ouyang Xiao Leng's sneak attack, he was likely to become a victim. Although he was unwilling, there was no other way. At this time, if Ouyang Hongye was at a certain If you can find a way to defend yourself, but you can't see him, you must be taking care of the seriously injured Xiao Leng.
"It doesn't matter. Since everyone is afraid that I will escape, just tie me up! I, Wangyue, have never betrayed the demon king fox and anyone in the king city, so there is nothing to be afraid of!" He said frankly.
"Then I'll go first..." Lion King Cheng said and used the demon method to change a rope to tie up the moon.
"Okay, it's tied up. If you have anything, just ask!" The voice of the moon is frank and loud.
Wang Jue's red-eared demon spirit stood up. His face was like a monkey, his hair was brown and he was wearing a brown robe. He pressed his throat and said, "According to what you said, when you arrived at Yinsong, only Yecha was the only guarding the city, which was too illogical."
Before he finished speaking, the voice of echoing below was endless.
"That's right, how cunning Qingyun is, how can he return the city he just took back so easily?"
"He must have secretly colluded with Qingyun. It's just a cover to attack Yin Song. It's their purpose to easily get Yecha into the palace to take the life of the demon king fox."
Thorns also wanted to say something to defend Wang Yue, but because of his identity, he couldn't help but be annoyed and looked at Yan Ming as if asking for help.
Yan Ming understood the meaning of the thorns. In addition, he and Wangyue also had some friendship. He didn't believe that he would be a traitor who betrayed everyone, so he said, "You are all speculations, and it is also likely that Wangyue is a plot of Qingyun!"
"Yes! Based on my understanding of him along the way to find Tianfu with him, I believe in the character of the Wangyue brothers!" The wind and fire, which had been silent, finally found an opportunity to complain about the moon.
