Douluo: Barak Rising

Chapter 52

The next day, early in the morning.

It was already daylight, and the gate of Barak City was usually open at this time, but today it was still closed, and there were teams of Habayashi troops patrolling the city uninterruptedly.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this depressing atmosphere that there are few pedestrians on the street, and even the vendors who should have appeared on the street have disappeared.

It's just that from time to time, a few officials in official uniforms can be seen hurrying towards the imperial city, with tension and worry written all over their faces.

The Imperial City, the Golden Temple.

Compared with usual, the atmosphere in the Golden Luan Hall today is obviously more tense. After taking office, the officials did not talk and laugh happily, or even whispered to each other.

And this atmosphere, not only did not ease over time, but became more prosperous.

Because the number of military commanders is obviously much smaller than that of civil servants, as for where the few people went, everyone can guess without even thinking about it.

The probability of being late is not high, most of them died in the operation last night.

Most of these few people were Li Guogong's former henchmen, so it is not difficult to guess what happened last night.

Your Majesty, after all, it is still time to attack Duke Li.

It can be said that if you don't make a song, it's a blockbuster.

Before this, there was no news, neither they nor Li Guogong were caught off guard.

"The sixth prince is here!"

Just when everyone was tense, a very penetrating voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone subconsciously wanted to pay homage.

But as soon as he made an action, he reacted instantly.

Six princes?
What the hell?

In astonishment, everyone looked up at the portal to the left of the throne, forgetting about etiquette for a moment.

I saw Jiang Yun walking out of it facing everyone's astonished eyes, Zhong Chen followed closely behind him, and went straight to the throne.

Then... he sat down on his buttocks.

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials below were stunned, how dare he.

Jiang Yun ignored the stupefied crowd, but glanced over them one by one, first the civil servants, then the generals.

Civil officials are on his left, that is, the West, while generals are on the other side.

There are more than forty civil servants, headed by Prime Minister Cao Long, but there are only a few dozen military generals, and the leader died last night.

But whether it is civil servants or generals, they are obviously a little confused at the moment.You look at me, I look at you, for a while, no one spoke.

None of those who could stand here were fools, and they realized almost instantly that the truth might not be what they imagined.

Otherwise, even with Jiang Yun's hundred courage, he would not dare to sit there.

Seeing that Jiang Yun did not speak for a long time, the people below were somewhat anxious. In the end, Prime Minister Cao, who was the highest rank, stood up.

Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Your Highness, what happened in the palace last night?"

"Oh? Doesn't Prime Minister Cao know?" Jiang Yun looked at Cao Long with interest, his words were full of ridicule, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes.

Leaving aside that he is Concubine Xiao's number one running dog, Jiang Yun has no intention of letting him go just because of this surname.

The surname is not a big problem, but who made him the prime minister?
After hearing Jiang Yun's words, Cao Long was instantly stunned.

I know?
What do I know?
I don't know anything.

For some unknown reason, Cao Long had a vague sense of foreboding, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously from his forehead.

The eyes of other officials were all focused on Cao Long at this moment, and they also noticed something abnormal in Jiang Yun's words.

Could it be that what happened last night has something to do with Cao Long?
But it's not right, all the people who died last night were from Duke Li, how could they have anything to do with Cao Long, could it be that Cao Long was from Concubine Xiao on the surface, but in fact he belonged to Duke Li?

"Your Highness...Your Highness, don't scare the old minister. The old minister really doesn't know." Cao Long was really a little panicked at the moment, because what happened last night was not a small one, and he might not be able to resist it.

Therefore, the tone and attitude changed for a while.

Just now, he was just talking to a prince, and they were equal to each other, but now, he has faintly lowered his figure.

Sensing the change in Cao Long's attitude, the expressions of the other officials became serious, and when they looked at the young figure on the throne again, their mentality also changed slightly.

This little prince is a little different from what they imagined.

Cao Long can be grasped with a simple sentence. This is not the kindness and wisdom that a six-year-old child should have.

It seems that everyone underestimated him.

But these are not important, now they just want to know what happened, why is Jiang Yun sitting on the throne?

Jiang Yun didn't intend to whet everyone's appetite anymore, so he gave Zhong Chen a look.

Zhong Chen immediately announced: "Last night, Concubine Xiao rebelled, and Her Majesty, Queen Li, Prince Feng, and Duke Li were all killed."

"what?"

In an instant, all the civil servants and generals below couldn't help but exclaimed.

Concubine Xiao rebelled?

Are you kidding me?
Why should she.

Zhong Chen continued: "Fortunately, Prince Yun led people to bring order out of the chaos, and took down all the rebellious officials and thieves, so that I was able to preserve my Barak country."

Hearing this, there was a collective silence below, and the way everyone looked at Jiang Yun again completely changed.

Regardless of whether Concubine Xiao's rebellion was true or not, the news of the deaths of King Jiang and Li Guogong must be true, otherwise why would Jiang Yun be sitting here.

It wasn't until this moment that they realized that everyone underestimated Jiang Yun, and not even a little bit.

Regardless of whether it is to truly set things right, or something else, Jiang Yun's ability to become the only winner has already demonstrated his means and strength.

But what everyone couldn't figure out was that a six-year-old boy could really have such means?

In addition, if you want to achieve this step, you can't just do it by simple means. There must be a force behind it that they don't know.

Where does this power come from is a question.

Neither Jiang Yun nor his dead mother obviously met this requirement, so there is a high probability that external forces have intervened.

Jiang Yun, maybe just a puppet.

Is it the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, or the Spirit Hall?
Cao Long was the first to react. He knelt down anxiously, "His... Your Highness, old... old... I really don't know."

"The old minister's loyalty to Barak can be learned from the sun and the moon. It is absolutely impossible to join forces with rebellious officials and thieves like Concubine Xiao. I hope Your Highness will learn from it."

Regardless of whether Concubine Xiao's rebellion is true or not, the crime has already been placed on her forehead, and as the final victor, Jiang Yun can't say whatever she wants.

That's a rebellion.

If he is implicated, this is the crime of Zhu Jiu Clan. Even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu will not be able to save him.

This time, he was really hurt by Concubine Xiao.
