Chapter 837: Chapter 606: Dynasty Brothers Meet Again, Suppressing the Duke

Wang Siyun’s simple introduction brought Xu Mao’s questioning to an immediate halt. The fact that an invincible existence within the Square World, a Peak Saint, feared and respected Wang Yang so much proved his value.

"Is this why you acted prematurely?"

"Yes, the only promise that moved me was that this realm would continue to bear the surname Wang. Of course, the most enticing condition is still the legendary Ancestral Realm!"

"You believe that?"

Xu Mao exclaimed in surprise, the Ancestral Realm, which had never been born even in Ancient Times when the Laws were intact. Now the world was affected by the ancient war, the Great Dao Law incomplete, the Heavenly Dao collapsed and damaged.

"I believe!"

Wang Siyun smiled mysteriously, giving an affirmative answer that surprised Xu Mao.

"What kind of edict did the Emperor give the Prince, making him come to my humble abode immediately?"

"He summoned me to the Capital City and incidentally informed the State Preceptor to prepare to take control of the Northern Border and establish the Imperial Astronomical Bureau!"

"What?!"

Xu Mao’s face turned pale, seemingly doubting his ears. This arrangement was indeed too unexpected.

"On the surface, it’s to establish the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, but in reality, it should be to monitor me, more precisely, to monitor those two forces from the Former Sui Dynasty. Now thinking back, Yang Yulan’s appearance in the Yang Family, deliberately displaying the Great River Dragon Crystal, should have been to lure me into the trap!"

"Using my hand to find the hiding place of the Yuwen Family and the Hidden Dragon Army. It seems in my brother’s mind, as long as these two forces exist, he won’t sleep peacefully!"

"Naturally, these two forces are the biggest threat as long as they have ambitions!"

Xu Mao expressed his doubts, after all, the troops from the Four Seas Dragon Slaying were well-trained. Even facing the Five Tigers Generals, they were evenly matched.

"He is forcing me to rebel!"

Wang Siyun bitterly smiled. Such arrangements were intended to compel Wang Siyun to ally with these two forces, thereby solidifying his crimes.

"The Emperor wants to see the Prince’s attitude. After all, the matter of the Former Emperor has been on the Emperor’s mind, unable to let go.

"My original intent is just to let my Royal Family’s rule last for millennia, regardless of the Outer Realm Demon Race or the so-called Demons and Ghosts. Even the Cultivation Sect must submit to the pressure of my Dynasty!"

"Those who refuse shall be killed, but my brother seems to have a different idea!"

"Regarding the Outer Realm Demon Race, the Emperor is indeed aware, but his attitude has been ambiguous, like the matter of swapping the Crown Prince with the civet cat; the Emperor stood by and watched, never intervening!"

"Who knows what’s on my brother’s mind, like now, suddenly summoning me to the Capital City!"

Wang Siyun smiled bitterly. The Emperor Wang Mingyu was unpredictable, his dragon’s majesty hard to fathom. Even though blood is thicker than water, Wang Siyun couldn’t guess his thoughts.

"Looks like I need to prepare too. The Emperor’s arrangement kills two birds with one stone: monitoring, and moreover, examining me. We are life-and-death friends, though I’ve done my best for the Dynasty these years.

"Still, I can’t avoid being suspected!"

Xu Mao smiled self-deprecatingly. Wang Siyun didn’t speak, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and his figure gradually became illusory, disappearing.

As he left, he left a sentence echoing in Xu Mao’s ear.

"The Minister of War, Yan Qing, is a guest at the Royal Palace. Go fetch him and bring him back to the Capital City. He carries information from the Emperor for you!"

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The Emperor Wang Mingyu was spreading paper and grinding ink. Beside him stood Empress Zhangsun, Grand Tutor Zhangsun Mingyang, Minister of Dali Temple Du Heng, the Commander of the Five Tigers Generals, and the Five Great Dukes, all patiently waiting.

"Emperor, the Prince has arrived!"

After an unknown time, Luo Ying, who had been guarding outside the door, came in and reported. Wang Mingyu nodded and said gently, "Summon."

"Guardian Sun King Wang Siyun greeted the Emperor!"

Upon entering, Wang Siyun greeted according to the ceremony between monarch and subjects.

"Between us brothers, there’s no need for formalities. Come in and sit!"

Seeing Wang Siyun, Wang Mingyu was in high spirits, stopped his actions, and beckoned Wang Siyun to sit.

"Alright!"

Wang Siyun politely glanced at the others in the Imperial Study Room, a smile playing at his lips.

"Today I summon you here out of necessity. The recent affairs in the Northern Border are stirring; despite my explanations based on your documents, some don’t believe. Now, you explain to them!"

Wang Mingyu pointed at the assembled group, Wang Siyun nodded, slowly rising, and first approached Empress Zhangsun, saluting.

"Long time no see, Royal Sister-in-law, all well?"

"Thank you, Uncle, all well!"

"The Zhangsun Family’s elders, seven Heavenly Immortal died within the Northern Border. It appears I owe an explanation, but I wonder if Royal Sister-in-law wants to hear it?"

"Don’t forget, Prince, the Cold Wolf Army was completely annihilated alongside the Zhangsun Family’s elders, dying under the Qingcheng Mountain Sect!"

As soon as Wang Siyun finished speaking, one of the Five Great Dukes stepped out, sternly reminding.

"Good reminder, Duke of Cheng! We, as royal subjects, should we swear to protect the princes of our lineage?"

"Naturally!"

"Then, if the Cold Wolf Army and Zhangsun Family’s elders intended to murder the prince, what’s the punishment?"

"Absurd! Our Cold Wolf Army expanded and guarded the realm, how would we murder the prince? Prince, speak with evidence!"

The Duke of Cheng angrily rebuked.

Wang Siyun smiled subtly, coldness gathering in his eyes. He pointed to the Void, suddenly unleashing an invisible Sword Qi from his fingertip!
