Tang Wan Li's eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape. The sudden sound of the war drums made him forget all the shame and displeasure he felt earlier. His mind was filled with only one thought: Jun Zhan Tian has gone mad! This old man, why did he go mad? Why did he go mad when the Jun Family is at its weakest?
"Everyone, return to the Tang Family immediately. Those who hold a military position, quickly change your attire and report! The rest of you, without my orders, are not allowed to take a step out of the house! "Old Master Tang made a prompt decision and issued a series of orders.
Immediately, dozens of people bowed, turned around and hurriedly ran away, their speed even exceeding the maximum speed they could muster.
At this time, the beating of the Generals Assembly Drum indicated that the situation had reached a very dangerous point. No one doubted that if any officer dared to be late tonight, their heads would roll! Jun Zhan Tian's military discipline was second to none in the entire Tianxiang Kingdom!
Anyone who disobeyed his orders, regardless of whether they were nobles, nobles, aristocrats, or descendants of dragons, would all be killed without mercy!
The sound of galloping horses could be heard from all directions, rushing like a tide towards the center of the city. Everyone wore bright armour, their faces anxious, the whips in their hands continuously lashed on the warhorses they loved more than their lives. All of them galloped as if they were rushing eight hundred li at top speed!
"Marquis, what should we do with the rest of the trash?" An expert from the Tang Family pointed at the remaining members of the Northern City Clan and asked.
"Bring them back and interrogate them one by one!" Although Old Master Tang knew that this would not be effective, he still held on to that last bit of hope.
As the warhorses galloped past in batches, all the barracks within and outside the city simultaneously sounded the loud sound of bugles. All troops were urgently assembled and maintained the highest state of combat readiness, awaiting the return of the commanding officer from the General Assembly Platform. Then, they would immediately move out!
Grandpa Jun was going mad!
This was not a lie.
By the time Princess Ling Meng sent two men to the Jun Residence, half an hour had already passed since the assassination attempt. Grandpa Jun was reading a book in his study, a smile on his old face, a look of satisfaction on his face. My grandson turned over a new leaf and turned over a new leaf. Looking at his vigor and perseverance, none of the nobles in the entire Tian Xiang City could compare to my grandson.
How could Grandpa Jun's heart not be filled with relief when he saw the Jun Family at such a withering moment, when such a great hope and opportunity had appeared?
Just as his mood was at its best, the housekeeper, Old Pang, gently knocked on the door and walked in with a heavy expression on his face. He informed him that Princess Ling Meng had sent someone to report something to the Old Master.
Jun Zhan Tian immediately summoned the guard. However, when he saw the guard's body covered in blood, Grandpa Jun's heart skipped a beat. The guard's stammering and evasive words made Grandpa Jun feel that something was amiss. His face turned uglier and uglier. Old Pang stood behind Jun Zhan Tian with a worried look on his face. This made Jun Zhan Tian feel something …
After a series of interrogation, the bodyguard finally said, "The Third Young Master Jun's body has disappeared …"
It was just this short sentence! When Jun Zhan Tian heard this, it was as if thousands of thunderbolts had simultaneously exploded in his head. His tall and sturdy body swayed a few times. Suddenly, his face turned deathly pale and he fell backward without a sound. In an instant, he was no longer breathing!
The Old Man was shocked. Fortunately, he had made preparations beforehand. He pinched Grandpa Jun's acupoint and pounded on his chest. Finally, Grandpa Jun regained consciousness. The bodyguard trembled as he knelt on the ground, not daring to move an inch. Everyone knew how important this debauchee Young Master Jun Moxie was in Grandpa Jun's heart. If he did not respond appropriately, he would be met with a fatal disaster!
The moment Grandpa Jun woke up, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His complexion instantly turned ashen and his eyes dimmed. However, the words that came out of his mouth were still clear and deep. "What exactly happened? Slowly, without missing a single word, tell me everything. "Although his voice was low, the heaviness in his words was like a towering mountain, pressing down heavily.
The bodyguard's face had long since turned pale from fear as he slowly described what happened. Throughout the entire process, Grandpa Jun's face remained calm and he did not utter a single word. Finally, when the bodyguard finished speaking, Jun Zhan Tian powerlessly waved his hand and said. "You may leave."
The bodyguard felt as if he had just been granted amnesty. He trembled as he retreated, only to find that his entire body was soaked in sweat!
In the study, Jun Zhan Tian closed his eyes and raised his head towards the sky. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as a single tear flowed out from the corner of his wrinkled eyes …
If Jun Moxie was still the debauchee Jun Moxie of the past, committing all sorts of outrages, Grandpa Jun would not have felt so bad. That was because he had long been disappointed. Turning this into despair was not a big deal. The Jun Family's decline was already a foregone conclusion. Even if this day came early, it would not be a big deal.
However, the problem was that Jun Zhan Tian had just witnessed the astonishing changes in his grandson. He had just seen the dawn of hope. He was filled with excitement and endless fantasies about the Jun Family's future. However, this sudden news had instantly sent Grandpa Jun into an abyss of eternal damnation!
With such a huge contrast, Grandpa Jun did not go crazy on the spot. It was already a testament to his self-control.
Mo Xie died because he was trying to send a message to Princess Reimu! This was Grandpa Jun's first deduction.
The assassin's target was Princess Reimu. Other than the three princes, the only ones who would have the guts to do so were the hostile forces of other countries. At present, the Crown Prince's position was still undecided. With the three princes vying for the throne, the other countries could not wait for them to fight each other. Therefore, at this time, the hostile countries would not do something so extreme. Therefore, the three princes were the most suspicious! This was the second deduction!
Third, the Princess was the main target of the assassin. However, Mo Xie had died, but the Princess did not! There was something fishy about this. Could it be that Mo Xie's enemies, the Li Family and the Meng Family, had hired an assassin to do this? Was the assassination of the Princess just a smokescreen? The third deduction.
The messenger Mo Xie had died, but the assassinated Princess was unharmed. This meant that although Mo Xie had sent a message to the Princess, the Princess did not send any bodyguards to protect him. All the military forces were focused on protecting the Princess. As for Mo Xie, he was killed so easily! This was the fourth deduction!
The more Jun Zhan Tian thought about it, the colder his face became. His eyes became sharper. In the end, his expression became even more ferocious!
Why did my grandson, who sent a message out of goodwill, die just like that, but that damned woman did not die?
I, Jun Zhan Tian, joined the army when I was young, and have fought thousands of battles in my life! A Grand Duke emerged from millions of corpses and made great contributions to the Empire. No one in the entire Empire could compare to him! I, Jun Zhan Tian, have three sons and three grandsons. Two of my sons sacrificed their lives for the Empire. My youngest son was crippled for life. My two grandsons fought on the battlefield and died an unknown death. Now, my only flesh and blood has sacrificed his life to protect the Princess of the Imperial Family …
The Jun Family, full of valiant warriors, has been cut off just like that! If that's the case, what's there for me to miss? It's all over anyway. Why don't I let all the enemies of the Jun Family die with me?!
Jun Zhan Tian laughed mournfully. The more he laughed, the louder his voice became. He laughed until his face was full of tears. Suddenly, he stood up. His eyes were bloodshot like lightning. Lengleng looked at the night sky outside the window. Then, she turned around and slowly walked to the portrait of her deceased wife. She stood straight and stared at it for a long time. Her lips opened as if she wanted to say something. However, in the end, she did not say anything. She stretched out her palm and made a gesture in the air. It was as if she was feeling something, or as if she was saying her final farewell …
Grandpa Jun narrowed his eyes slightly. It was as if he was holding back something. Then, he suddenly turned around and picked up the sword that had been dusty for many years. His tall and sturdy body strode out of the room. His white hair floated in the air, and he did not look back!
The moment he turned around, two drops of tears fell onto the ground, shattering into sparkling pieces!
The portrait on the wall was of a benevolent old woman. She still had the same eternal smile on her face. Her eyes seemed to have penetrated through the portrait and extended into the distance. The night wind blew in through the window, causing the portrait to flutter. It was as if the portrait was powerless to stay …
