The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 367: Encirclement and Suppression of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion

In the imperial city, undercurrents are surging.

Three days later, Wending Danpu appeared in various places in Tingxiang Country like mushrooms after rain.

The high quality and strong efficacy of the pills are incredible.

Coupled with the vigorous publicity by the City Lord's Mansion in each city, Wending Danpu soon became popular among the people.

In just two days, the Tiandan Mansion, which was once at its peak, had almost no customers.

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.

Everyone's eyes were on the Wending Danpu. When they heard that the Wending Danpu had an inseparable connection with the royal family, the royal family's reputation improved for a while.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in the meeting room of the Zuo Xiang Mansion, the Zuo Xiang, the Lord of Tiandan Mansion, and others from Juxian Palace were having an urgent secret conversation.

"Master Wu, is this the Wending Danpu that you said is not worth worrying about?" asked the Left Prime Minister with a cold face.

At this moment, Wu Qi, who had already lost the battle, was extremely depressed. His eyes, which had been full of energy, were now dim. He shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that the pills from Wending Danpu could be mass-produced. It's only a matter of time before Tiandan Mansion cuts off all sales markets. Lord Zuo Xiang, if you can't take away Tingxiang, my Tiandan Mansion will have to withdraw from Tingxiang."

Several people in Juxian Palace showed a look of surprise on their faces.

These days, they also secretly learned about the elixirs of Wending Danpu, and they had to admit that the elixirs were indeed good.

But I didn't expect that the mighty Tiandan Mansion would be defeated in just five days. The strength of the challenger was completely unexpected.

Zuo Xiang's face was uncertain. There was still no news from the Xu and Chu families, and the family's financial resources were directly cut off by Wen Ding. If he didn't resist now, every day he waited would increase the resistance to taking down Ting Xiang.

Gritting his teeth, Zuo Xiang looked at Qin Shi and said, "Great Elder Qin, I need your help from Juxian Palace this time."

Qin Shi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Zuo Xiang. As long as Tang Yan is still in the royal family, my Juxian Palace will support Zuo Xiang's mansion for a day."

Hearing Qin Shi's promise, Zuo Xiang felt a little relieved. He took a deep breath, knowing that he could not delay any longer. He would go to Xu and Chu's families to see if they were ready to cooperate with him.

Before the left prime minister could move, he heard the familiar opening words of the imperial guards coming from outside: "We are carrying out official duties under the orders of Lord Tang. All of you must cooperate actively. Those who disobey will be executed."

"The left prime minister has evil intentions and is guilty of treason. He is a traitor and a traitor who has formed a clique to suppress dissidents! After investigation, it was found that there were three dragon robes and a national seal hidden in the backyard of the left prime minister's mansion. The left prime minister dared to make these symbols of the royal family privately. There is irrefutable evidence of his rebellious intentions!"

"Zuo Xiang colluded with the neighboring country Taiyue and leaked state secrets, causing heavy casualties among our border soldiers. He will be a sinner for all eternity."

"The left prime minister deceived his superiors and subordinates, abused his power, and embezzled the national treasury. He is a parasite of the country."

"..."

“There are nearly 10,000 other bad deeds like these, which have been posted in various corners of the Imperial City. You can go and read them yourself. I will not list them all here.

The evidence of the crime is overwhelming. Such a heinous crime should be punished by the death of all nine generations of the clan.

Today, the Imperial Guards led the Royal Army, Xu's Army, and Chu's Army to capture Zuo Xiang. Those who surrender will be spared, and those who resist will be killed without mercy! "

The sound rolled and echoed over the Zuo Xiang Mansion.

The left prime minister almost vomited blood. Dragon robes? Three of them? What the hell is a national seal? How come I don't know about it!

Moreover, every piece of evidence was extremely serious, but almost half of them were things he had never heard of before!

The royal family would actually throw dirty water? Zuo Xiang felt like crying but he had no tears, but he knew that the news would have spread in the imperial city at the first time. As long as Zuo Xiang's mansion was destroyed, his crimes would be set in stone and he would never be able to wash them off.

The royal family's attack was too sudden and I was not prepared at all. How can I resist?

Also, when were the Xu and Chu families instigated to rebel by the royal family?

In a split second, the left prime minister made a decision: "Pass my order, follow me to break out of the encirclement and surrender to the Taiyue Kingdom!"

"Lord Zuo Xiang, you are in Tingxiang's foundation..." the Zuo Xiang's attendant said anxiously.

“All our military strength combined is not as strong as the tip of the royal army’s iceberg. Being alive is our greatest luck. What a pity! Ten years of hard work have been wasted.” The Left Prime Minister sighed.

Elder Qin looked at Zuo Xiang with great appreciation and said admiringly, "Zuo Xiang is bold and decisive, and is a man who can accomplish great things. Why don't you go to Juxian Palace to develop? Perhaps Juxian Palace can accomplish your ambitions for you.

Although the Royal Family is powerful, they still don't dare to attack my Juxian Palace. I can guarantee you a way out!"

Zuo Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he looked at Wu Qi and said, "Elder Qin, although the Wu Mansion Master is doomed to fail in Tingxiang, he is a genuine fifth-level alchemist. Why not incorporate Tiandan Mansion into Juxian Palace? What do you think, Elder Qin?"

A fifth-level alchemist is hard to come by in the entire Tingxiang Kingdom. Qin Shi naturally accepted this and nodded, saying, "That's great, everyone follow me out. As long as the royal family dares to take action, it will be a declaration of war against my Juxian Palace."

"Thank you, Elder Qin!" Wu Qi was overjoyed. He had been worried about where to go these days. Although Tiandan Mansion still couldn't take over the market in Tingxiang in Juxian Palace, it could be a place to rest. In the future, he would spend a lot of money to collect some high-quality pill recipes, and then go to neighboring countries to develop.

Zuo Xiang's idea was similar to Wu Qi's. It was obviously impossible for Juxian Palace to dominate Tingxiang Country alone. Zizhu City and Luosha Sect would not allow a force that was originally on the same level as them to be superior to them.

Yang Yi just wanted to save his life first, and then find a way to gather other forces to make a comeback.

Although the Grand Elder of Juxian Palace had a lot of experience, how could he compare with someone like Zuo Xiang who was always scheming against others? His idea was very pure. Zuo Xiang was very capable and had nowhere to go. If he was waiting for an opportunity to throw out an olive branch, wouldn't Zuo Xiang be so angry?

The three forces, each with their own ulterior motives, headed out together.

Outside the Left Prime Minister's Residence, the Royal Army had surrounded them tightly. In the front, besides the current Crown Prince, there was also Lord Tang, who made them gnash their teeth.

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You didn't die last time." The Left Prime Minister looked at Tang Yan and sneered.

"Of course. If a few minions want to kill me, it's ridiculous!" Tang Yan replied indifferently, making Qin Shi angry.

"I didn't expect your life to be so tough. I hope you can have such good luck next time." Qin Shi looked at Tang Yan coldly.

"How dare you, old man, to offend Lord Tang! You will be beaten with 10,000 sticks and then executed!" Kunhe shouted angrily.

What? Beat me with 10,000 sticks? Qin Shi was furious and stepped forward and said, "I am the great elder of Juxian Palace. Anyone who dares to stop me today will be an enemy of Juxian Palace!"

"Elder Qin, I suspect there is something wrong with you." Tang Yan pointed at his head and said, "Whether you are from the Juxian Palace or the Jugui Palace, you want to kill me. Do you think you can get away with it this time?"

Qin Shi felt a tightness in his chest when he heard this. This stubborn guy was really hateful. He shouted, "Even if the emperor sees me in Juxian Palace, he should be courteous. I advise you to retreat obediently and not let our personal grudge with Tang Yan escalate to the level of state affairs.

Tang Yan, if you still have a conscience, don't involve so many innocent lives!"

"You think too much. This prince will not show any courtesy to you when he sees the Juxian Palace, let alone the emperor!" The prince waved his folding fan and walked out gracefully. These days, he has been with Tang Yan, and his mouth has become a little more poisonous for no reason.
