If we can truly make them completely submit to us now, it would be a wonderful thing!
Of course, Wei Tingyu dared to make this decision because he was confident and not afraid of these guys betraying him at all!
After all, he did not bring any family members or attendants with him on this trip. Ren Ruyi and the eight Golden Shadow Guards could accompany him to fight their way out of Wudu at any time!
Putting everything else aside, at least in Dawu, no one can stop these ten people who are traveling light!
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Ren Ruyi smiled at Wei Tingyu for agreeing so readily.
Then, when he turned to face the people of the Six Paths Hall, his expression became serious again.
"The Marquis now accepts your allegiance!" Ren Ruyi said to the crowd, "But I hope you understand! Our Marquis will show no mercy to traitors!"
"Yes!" The members of the Six Paths Hall breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in unison.
Putting everything else aside, just look at Ning Yuanzhou's headless corpse next to him, and everyone can easily imagine what the consequences of betraying Wei Tingyu would be!
"Yuanlu!" At this moment, Wei Tingyu looked at the most intelligent young man and called out directly.
"Your subordinate is here!" Yuanlu was taken aback, then immediately clasped his hands in response.
"You are now the new head of the Six Paths Hall! From now on, you will be responsible for all affairs within the hall! If anything happens, report directly to me!" Wei Tingyu said to Yuan Lu decisively.
Genroku was undoubtedly the smartest and most loyal person present! This trait was evident from his previous act of guarding the Ning residence alone!
Of course, at that time he had not yet seen through Ning Yuanzhou's true colors.
And the fact that he is the first to sever ties with Ning Yuanzhou shows that he is smart and loyal but not pedantic, and he understands very well what his own goals are!
"Yes!" Yuanlu was taken aback at first, then nodded firmly and said, "Your subordinate will do anything, even die a thousand deaths!"
Looking at the other person's resolute expression and serious gaze, Wei Tingyu couldn't discern any ulterior motives.
However, as the saying goes, time will tell. Whether he is truly loyal or not, only time will tell!
"Congratulations, Hall Master!" All the other Six Paths Hall warriors bowed and clasped their hands in greeting to Genroku.
"What are your orders, Master? Please give your instructions!" Yuanlu quickly got into character, because he was originally a captain in the Six Paths Hall, but he left because he despised Zhao Ji's actions.
Now that he has ascended to the position of Hall Master of the Six Paths Hall with great ambition and passion, he naturally wants to make a name for himself.
Of course, as the head of the hall, he can only be a figurehead in the shadows for now, and cannot really step into the limelight.
After all, the Six Paths Hall is still nominally an intelligence and surveillance organization within the Wu Kingdom's court. For some time after Zhao Ji's "disappearance," the Wu Kingdom is unlikely to appoint a new hall master to manage them.
The affairs within the Six Paths Hall will likely still be managed by these original captains!
Even if it is discovered after some time that Zhao Ji has truly disappeared, the hall master sent by Wu Kingdom will only be a figurehead!
"Clean things up here!" Wei Tingyu thought for a moment, then said, "Integrate all the members of the Six Paths Hall as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!" Yuanlu certainly knew what to do, after all, he hadn't been a captain of the Six Paths Hall for nothing! He had learned a lot of skills from the old hall master!
Integrating the Six Paths Hall members doesn't mean telling everyone what happened tonight.
After all, the fewer people who know such a huge secret, the better! Ideally, it should only be known to the few people present tonight!
Meanwhile, a large number of the followers under the Six Paths Hall were unaware that their superiors had collectively sided with Wei Tingyu! When carrying out their missions, they would still believe that they were working for the Wu Kingdom's court!
Soon, under Yuanlu's command, Zhao Ji and Ning Yuanzhou's bodies were stuffed into Ning Yuanzhou's large coffin.
This coffin, which this guy originally just wanted to make for show, has actually come in handy!
Then, it was transported outside the city overnight for burial, which was not a difficult task for Liudaotang.
From now on, everyone will think that Ning Yuanzhou's cenotaph is just a place where some of his clothes and daily necessities are buried. No one will ever think that the public information is that Ning Yuanzhou, the former leader of the Six Paths Hall, who died on the battlefield a hundred miles away, was buried with Zhao Ji in a tomb outside Wudu!
……
Wei Tingyu had just returned to his courtyard at the post station with Ren Ruyi when he saw the girl suddenly collapse onto him, her legs giving way.
This startled him. He thought to himself, "This is bad. Could it be that I was injured when I fought Ning Wanzhou before?"
He casually put his arm around Ren Ruyi's shoulder, but when he looked down, he saw that the girl's head was leaning against his shoulder, as if she had fainted.
But her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, clearly showing that this girl was just pretending!
However, Wei Tingyu was not surprised at all by Ren Ruyi's behavior, after all, isn't that just the girl's personality?
She's cold on the outside but alluring on the inside; as an assassin, she's ruthless and cold-blooded! Yet, as a woman, she's incredibly seductive!
"Ruyi?" Wei Tingyu smiled upon thinking of this, and then whispered two words in Ren Ruyi's ear.
"Hmm..." However, Ren Ruyi frowned slightly and made a sound from her nose as if she were being coquettish.
However, there was no sign of him waking up at all.
"Ouch!" Wei Tingyu knew that this little girl was playing with him, so he bent down and picked her up in his arms, and said, "So it seems that you were injured when you fought Ning Yuanzhou before?"
"But since there are no visible external injuries, it must be internal injuries!"
"Fine, fine! I'll take you inside and strip you naked for a thorough inspection..."
"We absolutely must wake this little beauty up!"

Chapter 174 The Adorable Little Princess Yang Ying of Wu Kingdom!
As Wei Tingyu spoke, he picked up Ren Ruyi and strode towards the side room!
Out of the corner of his eye, he clearly saw a smile involuntarily creep onto Ren Ruyi's lips.
This little girl is just like a little fox!
Ren Ruyi was now completely unrestrained, so Wei Tingyu naturally didn't hold back anymore! After entering the room, he closed the door behind him and became immersed in this irresistible gentle embrace.
……
"My Lord!" After the storm had passed, Ren Ruyi lay contentedly on Wei Tingyu's chest, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat pounding against her heart.
The girl's pretty face was slightly flushed, making her look completely different from the cold-blooded killer she was known for!
"Is your injury healed?" Wei Tingyu looked at the little beauty curled up in his arms and laughed speechlessly.
"With the Marquis's help in healing, I'm naturally all better!" Ren Ruyi's mind was completely occupied by Wei Tingyu, so she didn't care about the teasing look in his eyes and simply tilted her head up and said.
Seeing this, Wei Tingyu nodded. Once this little girl lets go, not even ghosts or gods can hold her back!
She's completely oblivious to shyness in front of me! But thankfully, Ren Ruyi only shows this side of herself in front of me!
"However, so that I can stay by your side, Lord Marquis, for a long time to come..." Ren Ruyi blinked again, looked at Wei Tingyu and said directly, "Please teach me that move to subdue an enemy with one palm! That way, I won't get hurt so easily in the future..."
As she spoke, her eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight as she stared at Wei Tingyu, and her face involuntarily tensed up.
Only then did Wei Tingyu realize what this little girl had gone through all this trouble for!
So, they want to learn the move I used to kill Ning Yuanzhou with one palm strike!
But if he wants to learn, he can learn. Does he have to go through all this trouble? He could have just asked directly.
However, Wei Tingyu's palm strike was nothing special; he simply used his powerful internal energy to shatter Ning Yuanzhou's skull, and that was all!
So when he told Ren Ruyi these words, the girl's eyes widened again.
She had previously thought that Wei Tingyu's powerful palm strike must be related to the internal energy within his body.
I never expected that releasing internal energy would completely ignore techniques, and that it would exert such great power simply by touching the enemy's body.
So all those fancy moves are useless now! Ren Ruyi then made up her mind to properly study the internal cultivation method that Wei Tingyu had taught her!
Once you master powerful internal energy, you will naturally be fearless against any opponent!
Wei Tingyu looked at Ren Ruyi in his arms, her little eyes darting around, her face showing that defiant expression again, as if she was already imagining the scene of her sweeping across the world with her profound inner strength in the future!
It has to be said that compared to Zhao Zhangru and Li Jia Wu Niang Le Shan, who are both little martial arts fanatics, Ren Ruyi is the real big martial arts fanatic!
……
"I believe that Anguo may not harbor any evil intentions!" The next day, in the Wuguo court, a minister stood up and spoke eloquently to Yang Xingjian, the regent of Danyang.
"Anguo also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Tianmen Pass!"
"It's understandable that they want to exchange money for hostages!"
Wei Tingyu was also in the court at this time, but as an outsider, he had no intention of speaking. He simply observed the movements and expressions of everyone in the court quietly.
He had already learned from the news he received from Liudaotang that Anguo planned to demand 100,000 taels of gold in exchange for the return of Emperor Wu!
He never expected that the regent of Wu Kingdom, King Danyang, would invite him to the court assembly.
Of course, the excuse for doing so was that since the two countries had formed an alliance, such an important matter should not be concealed.
However, Wei Tingyu certainly wouldn't be easily fooled by just a few words.
This is 100,000 taels of gold! Not 100,000 taels of silver! The entire Wu Kingdom could squeeze that out of its treasury, but life would be very difficult afterward!
Moreover, whether throwing this money away will make a splash in Anguo's military camp and bring back Emperor Wu is still unknown!
Besides, how could the Prince of Danyang possibly want the Emperor Wu to return so quickly? After all, if the Emperor were to return, he would lose his position as regent!
Wei Tingyu had these ideas, and so did the other ministers of Wu Kingdom!
“What if they take the money and don’t release them?” At this moment, an opposing minister stood up and said directly, “Is it not enough for His Majesty to be captured in the north? Should we also add His Highness the Prince of Danyang?”
Because Anguo required that the special envoy sent to deliver the gold and bring back Emperor Wu must be a prince of Wuguo.
