Chapter 113: Zhao Xinghe's Nightmare
"In the temple, a surprising revelation was made, and King Wang's heart was filled with satisfaction. He thought to himself: 'I thought you were a carefree young man, but it turns out you're not as careless as I thought.' Haha, Prince Tai didn't expect me to be the Second Imperial Prince, nor did he think I would arrive so quickly?' King Wang felt a sense of pride and smiled at Qin Li, asking: 'Neither what?' 'What do you mean?' King Wang asked with some surprise. 'Haha, I didn't expect you to reveal your identity so openly. I thought you would pretend to be mysterious, wave your hand, and say, "Don't worry, little brother, the people above support you!"'"
The young man's words made the Second Prince realize that he had underestimated him. He felt a shiver run down his spine as he gazed at the youth in front of him, who was an extraordinary talent. From then on, he didn't dare to show even a hint of disdain towards him. After adjusting his mindset, the prince thought that this wasn't a bad thing after all.
There is an old saying circulating in mainland China: What one fears is not a god-like acquaintance but a special kind of monthly expense!
Even if the other party is very powerful, there is a way to break through it. But if they are foolish, then it's not just a matter of being held back, but even more so, it will ruin everything! Haha, I'm speaking too seriously, this time I came with the intention of bringing the Second Master's martial arts, and the Second Master told me to tell you, Young Master Tai, that neither the leader of the Green Gang nor Du Wei will be a problem for you. You can continue with your business as usual, the Second Master is very fond of you, and another day, he will personally come to see you and have a good talk with you!
Wang stood up and smiled faintly: "I hope that in the future, our two families can be frank with each other. I believe that Master Su's actions today are also related to the matter of the few kilograms of silver and the moon."
Qin Li smiled and shook his head in denial.
Wang continued: "In fact, only fools would think that the Second Prince is afraid of the Green Gang. The Second Prince's plan is far-reaching, how can those vulgar and ignorant common people understand it? Qin Gongzi is naturally not an ordinary person, he should understand what the Second Prince means."
Qin Li inherited the smile of his father, but he didn't have any talent or style.
Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction and smiled at Su Li: "Ah, Prince Tai is such a clever person. I believe that in the Green Dragon's eyes, he will definitely achieve an even higher position than in the Great Qi Dynasty, shining brightly like a beacon, all in the blink of an eye!"
Qin Li said calmly: "Su Li is just a fallen noble, with not high expectations, only seeking peace and quiet. So, no matter who it is, if you want to take advantage of me, you must be prepared to pay the price! The Tai family has been in decline for over a hundred years, but still has some remaining wealth and power. If I had been born during the prosperous era of my family, I would have definitely been a stunning genius!"
As he spoke, a faint blue glow suddenly burst out from Su Li's body and flashed forward.
That surge of energy forced Wang Zheng to retreat five or six steps back, his back suddenly colliding with the wall, producing a loud "thud". The enormous pressure made him feel like he was almost out of breath for an instant!
The king's face revealed a look of extreme horror, this time, it was absolutely from his inner heart!
Blue she level!
This kid is actually a Jin-level warrior! How old can he be? Seventeen? Eighteen? Anyway, definitely not over twenty years old, and yet he already possesses Xie-level strength!
No wonder he dares to be so arrogant in the face of the Green Gang. No wonder he doesn't put General Du Xiaojun in his eyes. Today, even if that group of people is more powerful, it's not enough for him to kill with one hand!
And even if they were killed, as long as he immediately expressed his willingness to be loyal to the imperial family, it is likely that Your Majesty would absolutely protect him! Alarmed, a martial artist under 20 years old, with an unlimited future ahead of him!
"This man must be made to join the Second Prince's camp! The king's mind rose with a surge of hot air, he felt that this time, he had really found a treasure! Master Su is indeed talented! Wang will go and inform the Second Prince of Tai Gongzi's intentions, I believe the Second Prince will soon meet with Tai Gongzi."
"Back at Sanzhu, Bùyún Yān asked in a soft voice: 'How was it?'"
Qin Li smiled faintly: "It's just in time that these people came. I think I shouldn't have to participate in the Chun Jia tournament anymore." Ah? You wouldn't really want to join the Second Prince's camp, would you? Although Gongzi is a woman, I've also heard about the cruelty of the princes fighting for the throne. And Qin Feng and Qin Hu are probably people of the Second Prince too?" Bu Yunyan raised an eyebrow, showing her concern. "Are you saying that you're going to join the Second Prince's camp?" Qin Li shrugged and said: "He wants to use me as a pawn, letting me lead the charge against the Green Gang and that Du Xiaojun general. How could I possibly join his camp? Hmph, this king is indeed a shrewd person, calmly agreeing to so many things with me, but how could I not see through his intentions?"
Tai Li smiled and said: "As for Tai Feng and Tai Hu being the two strongest in the world, what's there to fear? I showed Wang a glimpse of her true strength as a martial artist. A 19-year-old like her, versus two 19-year-old Xuan-levels... do you think they'd be able to withstand it? Moreover, even if they were to die, they wouldn't even know that the one they feared was me, Tai Li!"
Baiyun Yanyu smiled and said: "You're really a bad person, you've changed your ways and still want to bully the original one. Ming Yu, I think not only Tai Feng and Tai Hu, but also Prince Taizi will know about it and will definitely be very depressed. Moreover, he will scold you first because of the great shame you brought to him!"
Bu Yunyan was absolutely right. It was indeed Zhao Xinghe who had smashed several precious antique vases during the banquet that evening, and then overturned a extremely expensive agarwood table. Finally, he even shattered a thousand-year-old Huangli wood chair, cursing loudly before finally stopping.
Everyone knows that the knot in Tai Hou's heart comes from Qin Li, the illegitimate child of the Tai family in Huangbi City. As a result, Ming Yu has almost become a nightmare for Zhao Xinghe, making him unable to sleep at night, and every time he thinks about it, he feels a chill in his heart.
What a heavenly offering!
The teacher who had taught him since he was a child was brutally murdered and covered with a 30-meter-long white cloth stained with blood, and the few words written on it were so shocking that Zhao Xinghe almost committed suicide!
Akira refused to believe that it was Sora who did that thing. Thinking of Taira's sudden change in Huang Quan, almost everyone thought that behind Taira, there must be an extraordinary strong person! That kind of strong person can even make up for the shortcomings of the Nine Heavens Ten Executions, the only one who can fight against the respected Zhong Zun!
Even the strongest cultivators who have just broken through to the Heavenly Boundary stage are no match for the Candlelight War Tree. This is because those who have broken through to the Heavenly Boundary stage have studied the Candlelight War Tree before, and its harm to humans is simply unsolvable! As for the strong cultivators of the Heavenly Boundary stage, even if they cultivate with all their might, the most optimistic outcome would be to prolong their lifespan by a few more years.
These things are also kept secret in the imperial court. Zhao Xinghe's identity as the crown prince makes him know more than others, including his younger brother, Second Prince Zhao Xinghai.
So he was afraid, including his father, Zhao Yuanli, who was not the emperor, was shocked and angry. On the one hand, he was deeply ashamed of his son's private dealings with the Qin family, and on the other hand, he was furious that the imperial dignity had been humiliated. He vowed to capture Qin Li and tear him into pieces.
It wasn't until then that Su Jia's Xiao Ye suddenly disappeared into the river without a trace!
After so long a period of adjustment, Zhao Xinghe's nightmare was finally alleviated somewhat. Moreover, the apology from the Shangguan family and the self-accusation of Princess Shangguan made Zhao Xinghe's thoughts lively again. In fact, he didn't necessarily have to marry Shangguan Shi Yu, but he valued the Shangguan family's vast wealth and powerful influence even more!
Twenty years later, Tianjie thought about the poem "Shangguan Yu" again, and the rumor that Shangguan Yu was taken away by a private tutor was not necessarily false. Zhao Xinghe also chose to forget it at the time, but he didn't say anything, yet had already remembered it lightly in his heart.
So the Shangguan family was frightened, and the mighty Pang Yan was tied to his own war chariot. With the addition of Empress Shangguan's cleverness in the imperial palace, her position as empress would be unshakeable!
After Father Emperor ascends to heaven, I will be the new emperor of this Mu family!
Who would have thought that the infamous Ming Yu, who could scare people awake in their dreams, would appear before his eyes once again? And what's more, all the evidence points to one fact: this is not the same Tai Li, because although a person's appearance can change, their accent is the hardest thing to change! Take those people from other places living in Qinglong City's prosperous areas, many of whom have been living in Qinglong for over 30 years, but as soon as they open their mouths, it's still... their hometown accent!
It's precisely because of this that Zhao Xinghe felt extremely resentful. Is it just a coincidence that all the people who are at odds with me are also at odds with my father?
Because of this, the controller of the Daqing Gang after Zhao Mu's death was actually him, Zhao Xinghe!
As for the leader of the Daqing Gang, he was just one of Zhao Xinghe's trusted subordinates who had been purged a few years ago.
This matter is nothing secret in the face of true power and nobility, otherwise why would Prince Zhao Xing retreat in the turmoil of that dispute?
He just didn't want to lose face too early in front of his cousin, Su Li! Anyone who calls themselves Su Li is a scoundrel! They're all bastards!" Zhao Xinghe locked himself in his room, vented his anger, and panted heavily as he cursed: "You damned little beast, where are you? Don't let me find you, or I'll chop you into pieces, ah" Damn it! To be continued...
