Chapter 521: Old Feuds
The situation in the capital has stabilized.
The Qi family army outside the city has been subdued by the people of the Imperial Pavilion, and only the few people who invaded the capital with Qi Lonely Xin are still resisting to the death through the winding streets, but they are all turtles in the urn.
"Lost, completely lost...... Xufeng Chenhui sighed, "Lord Jia, take me back to my father to receive the reward." β
One of Jas's hands clasped tightly around Xufeng Chenhui's shoulder, and the ball of light slowly engulfed the two of them.
When Xufeng Chenhui looked around clearly, he found that they had not returned to the capital, but were still in the mountains and forests, but they couldn't see or hear the movement of the capital.
"Third Prince, do you know where you lost?" Jass didn't explain why he was here, but asked directly.
"I'm still inferior to my father in terms of reading people, whether it's Ma Siguo or Xilin Shu ......" Although Xufeng Chenhui didn't know what his purpose was, he still sighed obediently, "I thought that taking the initiative to give a few soul jades to Ma Siguo could be exchanged for their temporary peace, but I didn't know that I underestimated them." β
"That's true, even though you have some intelligence, you are overconfident, and you think you know the human heart, but you are not," Jas said slowly, like a teacher teaching his students, "Now that Xufeng Zhuofeng and Xufeng Sijia have died, you are the only one in the world who can take over your father's throne, you should know very well that your father will only punish you and not kill you, so why should you be anxious." β
"Lord Xie Jia has said auspiciously," Xufeng Chenhui was noncommittal, but smiled dryly, "But the country that I fought for is more meaningful than what others reward, not to mention that if I don't get rid of Zhuo Feng, the reward will not be on my head, and even if I get rid of him, I don't know that this country will be ruined for a few years or decades before it will be rewarded to my hands. β
At this time, there was a birdsong in the forest, and Xufeng Chenhui knew that Puxu had found him.
"It's a lot of rhetoric," but Jas didn't pay attention to the bird's call, but said meaningfully, "Boy, the power of those five Zero Realm soul jades is far beyond your imagination, it not only means power, but also the immortality that all emperors dream of, so for decades the soul jade is uneven, your father has been using the power of the whole country to find it, until the crack in the hiding room dried up, and he accepted the result of his short time." β
Xufeng Chenhui didn't speak, waiting for Jas to continue.
"Two years at most, your father's limit will come as scheduled, and if it weren't for the poison you gave before, this time would be extended by a year at most," said Jas, letting go of the hand that was clasping Xufeng Chenhui, "Don't forget, my medical skills far surpass all the doctors in the palace. β
This matter has always been known only to Jas and the Emperor, but Xufeng Chenhui is the first time he has heard of it.
After a brief moment of surprise, Xufeng Chenhui muttered, "I don't seem to have a choice. β
"Deign to accept your father's reward for two years?"
"I'm afraid there is only one way," Xufeng Chenhui laughed helplessly a few times and asked, "Lord Jia brought me here and said this, just to let me go back to the palace with you to take the blame, or do you want me to know that you are on my side in the future." β
"Hahahaha," Jas laughed too, but not helplessly, but with full sarcasm, "you're right, you're nowhere near as good as your father in reading people." β
Xufeng Chenhui's face instantly became much colder, and his tone became much more anxious: "What does Master Jia mean?"
"With your intelligence, you can't imagine that you won't have to worry about your life when you return to the capital, but I didn't take you back, why do you say? β
Jas's tone was flat, but what he said made Xufeng Chenhui's head empty.
"You...... You want to kill me, but why? Aren't you loyal to my Xufeng family, as soon as my father dies two years later, I will be the only one who can succeed to the throne......" Xufeng Chenhui said here for a moment, "Do you want to usurp the throne now." β
"I don't have the energy and the preference," Jas didn't look at the morning glow of the rising peak, and walked forward about ten steps or so on his own, "I did want to kill you, but it wasn't for any grand reason or plan, but only for personal vendettas. β
"Personal enmity, where did I come from Master Jia...... Xufeng Chenhui didn't react at first, and suddenly realized halfway through his words, "I see, hasn't Tianyunshu always performed his duties based on 'ruthlessness'?"
Jas's eyes were still as calm as stagnant water: "Everything is going to change, they have grown up with me since they were young, ruthless, and that's only for outsiders, like ......"
As he spoke, Jas suddenly gathered momentum, and the ball of light faded after wrapping around his whole body.
Xufeng Chenhui itself did not show any abnormalities.
Jas stood still, except for a man beside himβand the long dagger that ran through the man's neck was cold.
