” Wan Shengchang, Xiao Heng’s son, is still alive. He will come for you for revenge. You will die a worse death than Xiao Heng. I will wait for you underground, haha…”
The Emperor looked at Wan Shengchang with resentment. He had given him glory, wealth, and supreme power. Now that this dog had grown up and turned to bite him, even if he died, he would still make him unable to sleep and eat in peace.
“Where is he? Where is he?”
Wan Shengchang quickly exited the dragon throne and rushed over to shake the Emperor.
However, the Emperor had already been poisoned by him and died. Before he died, he saw Wan Shengchang’s terrified look and smiled happily.
“Father.”
Wan Yulin walked over in his golden and silver armor. Wan Shengchang had ascended the throne, and Wan Yulin had been made the crown prince. Now, he was the crown prince and the general of the cavalry. He did not care about his father’s worries.
“Xiao Heng has already been taken care of by us, so Xiao Heng’s son is even less of a concern.”
“My son, you must not underestimate the enemy. Little Yongqi said it so proudly. That son of Xiao Heng must have the ability to resist us. We must find him and eliminate any future troubles.”
Wan Shengchang narrowed his gloomy eyes. His fat round body was like a ball and looked very comical in his dragon robe.
“Imperial Father, I think the Xiao family’s children are not worth worrying about. The most important thing now is to clean up Yongqi’s remaining party. The Xiongnu, Hu, and other small barbarian countries also used our attack on the capital to seize the city. They are the biggest threat.”
Wan Yulin still didn’t think much of it. Back then, the Xiao family’s army was so powerful, but Xiao Heng was still taken care of by the father and son. How could a mere child of the Xiao family avenge his father without any soldiers or power?
He was worried about those small foreign countries. Previously, he wanted to use these countries to tie Yongqi down, so he let them attack cities and seize land without caring.
But now that the Dynasty was their family, they had to clean it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would endanger the empire that they had yet to stabilize.
“If Xiao Heng’s son is not eliminated, 1 will not be at ease.”
However, Wan Shengchang thought differently from his son. He was not worried about the outsiders or Yongqi’s remaining party. Only Xiao Heng’s son was his greatest worry.
Wan Yulin didn’t say anything. He had his ideas. Although Wan Shengchang was the Emperor and his father, he couldn’t influence his decision.
First, he had to deal with the outsiders, then he had to deal with Yongqi’s remaining party, and finally, he had to find Xiao Heng’s son.
“The team you sent to the city didn’t come back. Have you found out what happened?”
Wan Shengchang knew his son too well. Seeing the calm look in his eyes, he knew that his son did not listen to his words and did not intend to follow his orders. To make his son take it seriously, he brought up the matter of Mo City.
“We found out they had already left Mo City and even went to Jin City and Liang City to get food. After they went south, they disappeared. I guess Li Jiang’s team swallowed them.”
Wan Yulin told his father the information he had found. Coincidentally, Li Jiang led his troops to rebel and even took down three cities.
The team he had sent to Mo City had gone missing there, so Wan Yulin felt that Li Jiang had wiped out the team he had sent to Mo City to get the rations.
“Did you let them transport the rations?”
Wan Shengchang felt that something was wrong. It sounded like the grain ambushed the army, but the Wan Family Army was strictly disciplined. Why was the team sent to investigate the killing machine of Mo City gathering grain?
“Yes, because there was a shortage of food at the border, 1 did ask them to bring some back.”
Wan Yulin’s answer dispelled Wan Shengchang’s doubts. He nodded. “This Li Jiang must be dealt with as soon as possible. We can’t let him become big.” “Yes, Imperial Father.”
Wan Yulin cupped his fists and received the military order. He had to be busy from now on. He had to expel the foreign enemies and clear out the internal strife and Yongqi’s remaining party. He could not split his attention.
It had to be said that Ji Shuisheng’s luck was really good. He pretended to be from the Wan Family Army and collected the grain in each city. It coincided with Wan Yulin’s order. Fortunately, Li Jiang rebelled and used him as a shield.
Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing did not receive the news of the significant change in the imperial court at the border. Ji Shuisheng sent Su Qing to Jingshi Dao and followed her to the newly bought house.
Su Qing’s newly bought house was spotless. The stone lions on both sides of the door were majestic. Two copper handles were hanging on the vermilion door, which was very imposing.
Ji Shuisheng understood Su Qing’s intention to leave Mo City. He could only truly live and work in peace and contentment in Jingshi Dao. There was always a danger in Mo City.
The two of them had just arrived at the door when it opened from the inside. Luan Hong walked out and saw Su Qing. Luan Hong called excitedly,” “Cousin?”
A young man followed behind Luan Hong. His features were as beautiful as a painting, and he was even more handsome than a woman. His purple-red brocade robe made his skin look as white as snow. He looked like a handsome man who had walked down from a painting. Wasn’t that Chu Jingfeng, Young Master Chu?
Chu Jingfeng’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Qing, but when he saw Ji Shuisheng beside Su Qing, his eyes flashed with vigilance and wariness, and his smile disappeared.
Ji Shuisheng’s gaze naturally fell on Chu Jingfeng. This person was too devilish. The way he looked at Su Qing was filled with ambition and possessiveness. Men were also susceptible. How bad would it be if someone was after his woman?
Ji Shuisheng glared at Chu Jingfeng like a tiger eyeing its prey. His body emitted a pressure like dark clouds pressing down on him. It was as if a lion king was aggressive towards a lion that had trespassed into his territory. He could tear him apart at any moment.
“Miss Su, I’ve waited so long for you!”
Chu Jingfeng saw Ji Shuisheng’s territorial desire. He fanned himself and smiled at Su Qing like a hundred flowers blooming. He looked at Su Qing affectionately and treated Ji Shuisheng as if he didn’t exist.
“Why are you waiting for me?”
However, Su Qing did not understand. She could tell Chu Jingfeng was trying to make Ji Shuisheng misunderstand, so she immediately retorted.
Ji Shuisheng’s mood was instantly filled with sunshine. Just from how Qing’er treated this pretty boy, he knew that she did not fancy him and was not his match.
Chu Jingfeng didn’t expect Su Qing to be so rude. He looked at her resentfully. “Didn’t you ask me to help you find a shop? How can you kill the donkey when you’re done?”
Ji Shuisheng raised his thick eyebrows when he heard Chu Jingfeng’s words. Was this kid trying to show off? Was he hinting that Su Qing always asked him for help when he wasn’t around?
Was this a blatant provocation?
Ji Shuisheng did not stand on ceremony. He looked at Su Qing and asked, “Who is this pretty boy? Like a girl.”
You look like a woman. It would be strange if my Qing’er would like you!
Su Qing could feel the intense jealousy emanating from Ji Shuisheng. She glanced at him without saying a word. She also felt that Ji Shuisheng’s description was not bad. How could a man be prettier than a woman?
“Who are you calling a gigolo?”
Ji Shuisheng almost angered Chu Jingfeng. Was he a gigolo? Was he just handsome? He glared at Ji Shuisheng angrily.
“You’re jealous that I’m more handsome than you..”
