Yun Yang returned with a fruitful journey.
Yun Che walked out of the restaurant with a radiant smile on his face. The seven young masters sent him off with pale faces. "Take care, Young Master Yun. Let's meet again next time …"
It was only when they could no longer see Yun Yang that the seven of them heaved a sigh of relief.
"Eat! Eat as much as you can! "Young Master Ma gritted his teeth and tears rolled down his face." How can I eat to get back the two million? "
The other six young masters rolled their eyes, feeling a little pleased in their hearts.
I may be unlucky, but … there's someone even more unlucky than me!
Thinking of this, he actually became excited. "Come, come, come! We won't go home until we're drunk tonight! Boss! Serve another 100 dishes! Motherf * cker, I'm going to get my money back! "
Like a swarm of bees, they returned.
Young Master Qin, who had snatched the right to treat them, turned pale. He was both angry and anxious. "F * ck all of you! Get the f * ck out of here …"
He hurriedly chased after them to stop them.
…
Lao Mei's arms were filled with silver notes as he followed behind Yun Yang.
The doubts in his mind were more than the banknotes in his bosom.
Which one of these seven young masters wasn't arrogant and domineering? Which one of them was not a lawless person? How could he be so obedient?
Just this year alone, he had already been blackmailed by the young master twice …
Not to mention before.
What blackmail does the Young Master have on them?
"Scatter six million in a few directions as you see fit." Yun Yang instructed as he walked, "You know what you should pay attention to."
Lao Mei replied seriously, "Don't worry, Young Master. I understand."
Yun Yang nodded.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Residence of Yun.
Yun Yang lifted his head and looked at the four words on the plaque. He smiled bitterly and strode in.
The clouds in the sky.
Four glittering golden words appeared at the entrance of the Residence of Yun. It was handwritten by His Majesty the current emperor, a gesture of utmost respect to Marquis Yun who was like a divine dragon.
The door slowly closed.
Outside, a person's voice came from afar, "Yutang's Nine Supremes, heroes of the world; the nation mourns, send my spirit; the ninth of the third month, before the Hall of Valiant Souls; behead the wicked, offer sacrifice to my spirit; my spirit lives on, my spirit lives on forever …"
Countless people had solemn expressions on their faces. There were officials, military generals, soldiers, and commoners … The tide of people rushed to the various flower, incense, and candles shops …
All the incense and candles in Tiantang City were sold out that afternoon.
The faint sound of crying could be heard.
Today was March 8th.
Tomorrow, they would hold a memorial ceremony for the heroic spirits.
Inside the Residence of Yun, Yun Yang leaned against the door, listening to the repeated cries from outside. His face was etched with a pained expression of longing.
"The Nine Supremes will always be here!"
Yun Yang spoke silently, his gaze determined. "Because I'm still here!"
…
Residence of Yun.
In the secret chamber.
Yun Yang was dressed in a purple robe, standing with his arms behind his back. Looking at Wu Wenyuan who stood before him, a hint of blood flashed across his eyes as he spoke softly, "Censor Wu, I've long heard of your name. It's a pity that I haven't been able to meet you. That's why I've invited Sir Wu here today. Let us have a good chat."
Opposite him, Wu Wenyuan, who was dressed in a prisoner's uniform, chuckled softly. "Young Master Yun, I had only thought that you were the young master of the Marquis of Heavenly Clouds and did not take you seriously. I didn't expect Young Master Yun to be such an enigmatic character in the Empire of Yutang. I've really misjudged you. "
He chuckled. "To be able to bring me here so easily from the prison, Young Master Yun's means are truly remarkable."
Yun Yang looked at the censor of the left, not a hint of nervousness or fear could be seen in his eyes.
This was a man of sacrifice.
Yun Yang came to a conclusion in his heart and smiled faintly. "It's just a small trick. I've embarrassed myself in front of Sir Wu."
Wu Wenyuan said calmly, "I wonder what Young Master Yun wishes to talk to me about, bringing me here from the prison?"
Yun Yang smiled nonchalantly, "I would like to play a game with Sir Wu."
"What game?" Wu Wenyuan asked.
"Hmm, questions." Yun Yang laughed. "You ask me a question and I'll ask you a question."
Wu Wenyuan laughed as well. "I'll ask you anything if I ask you a question. However, if you ask me a question, I might not be willing to answer."
Yun Yang smiled and said gently, "From what I know, Sir Wu's entire family has been captured this time. Including your old mother, your wife, your two concubines, your three sons and one daughter. "
Wu Wenyuan's gaze turned cold. "What are you trying to say?"
Yun Yang said gently, "Sir Wu has already disregarded life and death. Of course, you don't care about anything. However, I don't think Sir Wu can ignore the lives of your family, can you? "
Wu Wenyuan's gaze wavered. "What do you mean?"
Yun Yang said faintly, "I'll ask you the first question. If you answer it, I can let you die a quick death. This is the first benefit. "
Wu Wenyuan said mockingly, "If I don't want to answer a single question, will you let me live?"
Yun Yang tilted his neck slightly and said, "Death depends on how you die. Sir Wu understands. If you don't answer a single question, none of your family members will live. As for you, Sir Wu, you'll have to live a long life here with me. "
He smiled slightly, revealing his pearly white teeth. "Sir Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Wenyuan could not help shuddering despite facing death with equanimity.
Live a long life.
The words were filled with auspicious meaning, but when uttered by Yun Yang, they were filled with eeriness and terror. Of course, Wu Wenyuan knew how he would 'live a long life'.
He was silent for a moment before he said, "You mean that my family members can still live?"
Yun Yang said, "Of course. Let me ask you the second question. After you answer it, I can guarantee that your wife can live. The third question, your mother can live. The fourth question, your daughter can live. The fifth question, your second son, whom you dislike the most, can live. The last question, other than you, your entire family can live and live freely. "
Wu Wenyuan closed his eyes in agony. "What if I don't answer one of the questions?"
Yun Yang said nonchalantly, "For example, the fourth question. If you don't answer it, I'll let your daughter live as well. However, she'll live in a brothel. Every customer will know that she's Sir Wu's daughter. Yes, each question corresponds to a person. "
Wu Wenyuan's eyes widened, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "You're ruthless!"
Yun Yang smiled. "I'm not ruthless, Sir Wu is. It's because of your lack of cooperation that such a tragedy has happened. On the contrary, as a son, a husband, and a father, you can create a better living environment for them. "
Wu Wenyuan closed his eyes, his heart filled with despair.
The unflinching fear of death that had filled his heart had vanished without a trace.
Yun Yang's words had hit him where it hurt.
"Young Master Yun is indeed Young Master Yun." Wu Wenyuan smiled sadly. "What do you want to know?"
Yun Yang placed his arms behind his back and said softly, "The first question, a year's plan starts in spring. This is a good saying, but I'd like Sir Wu to explain the meaning behind it. "
Wu Wenyuan's face was ashen, his gaze struggling for a long time before he said, "This is the Four Seasons Tower … four seasons in a year. This means that the Hall of Spring should act … "
Yun Yang nodded. "Very well. As a reward for answering, you can die now. The second question, what does the tenth of the first month mean? "
"I am the tenth of the first month." Wu Wenyuan closed his eyes and said weakly, "There are three halls in the Four Seasons Tower in every season. Each hall is named after a month, and there are thirty people in each hall, from the first day to the thirtieth. "
"Congratulations, your wife is alive." Yun Yang said with a smile, "The third question. Who is Mr. Nian? "
Wu Wenyuan looked into Yun Yang's eyes and said, "I don't know."
Yun Yang frowned and looked into his eyes for a long time before he said, "Alright, another question. Who is the hall master of the Hall of Spring?"
"I don't know either." Wu Wenyuan smiled sadly. "You really don't have to ask this question anymore. Between us, it's a one-way communication, we don't know who each other is. I don't even know who the ninth and eleventh of the first month are. What more the hall master? "
Yun Yang exhaled, his expression turning much uglier.
"A Left Imperial Censor of the imperial court, only one day in the four seasons of the year, without any duties … The Four Seasons Tower is a colossus!"
Yun Yang chuckled. The chilliness in his chuckle made Wu Wenyuan shudder involuntarily.
"Since you don't know anything …" Yun Yang said with a frown, "Then who were the participants in the ambush of the Nine Supremes at Tianxuan Cliff last spring?"
Hearing the words' ambush of the Nine Supremes at Tianxuan Cliff ', Wu Wenyuan's facial muscles twitched involuntarily. He said, "I'm only a mole. The actual execution of the plan was handled by the Hall of Spring's chief hall master. I don't know who the participants were."
Yun Yang nodded. "Other than you, there must be a mole? Does it belong to the military? "
Wu Wenyuan said, "The ninth and eleventh who contacted me felt like they were military generals, but I don't know their specific identities, so I can't be sure."
Yun Yang said, "Alright. I'm done with my questions. If you have any, you can ask me. "
Wu Wenyuan shuddered and said loudly, "Why are you only asking these few questions? Since you're asking about the incident at Tianxuan Cliff, you should have a lot more to ask! "
Yun Yang said coldly, "Because I know all the other questions. Besides, if I continue to ask and you answer, I'll have to let your son go, but I'm not willing to let him go. "
Wu Wenyuan was enraged as he cried out hoarsely, "But you've already asked me four questions!"
Yun Yang said faintly, "Because you didn't answer the last two questions. In other words, you've answered one. Overall, you've answered a total of three of my questions. The first question will grant you a quick death. The answer to the second question will allow your wife to live. The third question will spare your mother's life. Don't worry, I'll do it! "
Wu Wenyuan's body went limp at once, despair filling his heart.
This person had raised hope in him by asking questions as a bet, but he had suddenly cut it off at the most crucial moment. He had caused the most important person to not be able to live.
Looking at Yun Yang's cold expression, he suddenly asked, "Who are you really?"
Yun Yang's face was filled with extreme sorrow, his gaze fixed on the void as he slowly enunciated each word, "I am Supreme Cloud!"
I am Supreme Cloud!
Ever since the last battle, he had returned to Tiantang City, both physically and mentally scarred. Every time he thought of his identity, he felt an extreme sense of sorrow and bitterness.
After a year, he could finally say these four words!
Because I've found the first clue.
At last, I can, when I think of my brothers, have a little comfort.
Wu Wenyuan's face was filled with shock as he stared at Yun Yang, speechless.
The intense shock had almost robbed him of his ability to speak.
Yun Yang continued to speak word by word, "I am … Supreme Cloud of the Nine Supremes!"
"You're not dead?" Wu Wenyuan cried hoarsely, "You're obviously dead!"
A strange expression appeared on Yun Yang's face as his voice was filled with endless sorrow. "The Nine Supremes will never die!"
Wu Wenyuan chuckled bitterly and said dejectedly, "I see … I see … you're not dead …"
He mumbled the words a few times, like a walking corpse. Even his eyes had lost their light. Suddenly, he chuckled bitterly, "I can't believe that the soul of the Nine Supremes isn't dead yet … Is this heaven's will?"
Yun Yang's expression was cold, but his gaze was as deep as the ocean.
No one would be able to tell from his gaze what kind of turbulent waves were raging in his heart.
"The clouds hang in the sky, the winds sweep the earth, the thunder rumbles, the firmament is frozen." Wu Wenyuan murmured, "The golden light shines, the earth dragon soars, the wood that soars to the heavens; undefeatable; the prairie fire, the water vanishes, the blood of the hero is eternal! There's still someone alive in the Nine Supremes … "
Listening to these words, Yun Yang's eyes were suddenly ablaze with fire. He murmured softly, "That's right, I'm still alive. Since I'm still alive, then countless people must die!"
"Everyone who's involved in the Tianxuan Cliff incident must die!"
"The blood debt of so many of my brothers …" Yun Yang lowered his head to look at Wu Wenyuan in front of him and said softly, "You're the first."
The crimson hue in his eyes suddenly burned like a flame.
