Dragon Ancestor, We Must Save

Yan Ce pretended nothing happened, and shifted to a topic that would not annoy her at all: "How did you meet my Majesty before? It's been ten years from others."

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

After the lingering sound fell, the woman grabbed Yan Ce by the collar, pushed him outside the door, closed and locked the door, all in one go.

Chapter 540 A Contract Reached

About forty hours passed.

The veteran officials of Baiyue brought Yan Ce and the noble youths into the royal court.

King Baiyue's face turned green.

"Young Master Ce, we can talk about the contract again." Lan He's voice sounded in the hall.

Yan Ce nodded, looked up at King Baiyue: "Has King Baiyue made a judgment?"

"Come on, come on."

King Baiyue's face was serious, he grabbed the armrest of the throne, and asked, "Young Master Ce has something to ask you. General Lan He said that Commander Luo Ai and his officers were assassinated the day before yesterday. Did you hear that the elite troops under his command were killed at the same time, and no one survived?"

"Who is Loi?"

Yan Ce looked at Lan He, puzzled.

"It's my sworn brother!"

Lan He glared at Yan Ce.

"That day, I saw with my own eyes that Young Master Ce left the State Guest House without knowing where he was going. When my officers heard that Young Master Ce had left, they secretly pursued him, but he never came back."

"Young Master Ce, why was my elder brother assassinated during the period when your actions were unknown? In the lower reaches of the river at the scene of the crime, someone picked up a short dagger of the Central Plains style. All the witnesses and evidence have been found. How can you explain it? "

Lan He secretly showed a sly smile, and now as long as Yan Ce refuted, he took out infinite evidence to prove Yan Ce's suspicion of murder.

Then, the negotiations broke down, the people of Baiyue were outraged, and the ashes of Young Master Ce were thrown away.

The noble boys were all behind Yan Ce, even so, they still felt a huge pressure coming, and their backs felt chills.

"..."

The eyes of the entire royal court were focused on Yan Ce who was in the center of the royal court. The young man was silent for a while, raised his eyes, bit his lip, and a tinge of red stained his lips.

Tai'a's scabbard hit the floor heavily.

He said confidently: "That's right, I killed people."

Lan He was startled: "Huh???"

How... did you admit it?

Gongsun, Bai Li and the others were also bewildered, staring at Yan Ce with their mouths wide open.

"What? Do you think I dare to do it or not!"

Yan Ce was filled with indignation, like a loyal man going to die with emotion.

"A life for a life, I, Yan Ce, committed suicide with Tai Ah today, spattering the royal court with blood."

"Let me ask you a question, shouldn't he die!"

Not only was Lan He, the instigator who secretly wanted to plot against Yan Yan, fooled, but even King Baiyue, who was secretly suppressing his anger, was also fooled.

Baiyue said that there are few adults in the land, but you, a foreign envoy who came to Baiyue to persuade you to surrender, assassinated the commander-in-chief, how can you still be so emboldened, is this tone of justice?

Yan Ce pulled out Tai Ah and put it on his neck, as if he was about to sacrifice himself in the next second.

"Mr. Yan Ce put down the sword first." The Baiyue King frowned and said, "What did you mean when I said that the Commander of Baiyue deserved to die?"

"How did General Lan He report to you?" Yan Ce asked back.

The King of Baiyue took the letter and said word by word: "At noon three days ago, I left the State Guest House and went to have a secret meeting with the Commander of Baiyue."

"Yes."

"The murder weapon was a dagger, and the mortal wound was the neck."

Yan Ce nodded, "I did it myself, and I remember it very clearly. General Lan He's description is not bad at all."

"Then why did you—"

"King Baiyue, do you know that I kindly negotiated peace with the commander-in-chief, but as soon as we met, he let me enter the account together, and then he took off his armor and forced me to stay overnight. Fortunately, I have a dagger by my side I just escaped this catastrophe!" Yan Ce said in grief and indignation, "The Commander Luo Ai you speak of is actually—"

At the end, Yan Ce choked up.

Your Highness, NB!

Oh my god, this thief grandson is really generous, he is worthy of being our Highness, and he said it in a tone as if he was really spoiled by a strong man.

Bai Li, Gongsun: "..."

King Baiyue lived for most of his life, and he had heard a nobleman's declaration that a real man should be a boy, but he had never seen it before, and his brain didn't realize it for a while.

Wang Ting was shocked and fell silent.

King Baiyue's anger faded for some reason, and he asked curiously, "Does Commander Luo Ai have any children?"

Lan He said with an ugly face: "...No."
