"Brother Qin, you won't doubt that I sent someone to assassinate the King of Northern Xinjiang, right?" Hua Jiyuan asked loudly, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Qin Zongheng snorted and said, "You know whether it's you or not!"
Long De looked at Hua Jiyuan sideways and said word for word, "I swear to God here, no matter who wants to kill me, I will never let this person go!"
Hua Jiyuan took a breath of cold air and murmured, "I didn't expect that you guys, who have been friends for decades, don't believe me." [
Qin Zongheng said, "Hua Jiyuan, don't say such useless things. Justice belongs to the people, and what you do cannot be hidden from everyone. Xiaodong will be back soon. If it were me in your place, I would now Think carefully about how to explain to him!"
Qin Zongheng's words made Hua Jiyuan feel as if there was a lump of ice in his arms, so cold that he shivered.
After swallowing his saliva, Hua Jiyuan said, "It doesn't matter if you doubt me or don't believe me now! One day, I will prove to you that I am innocent! Farewell!" After saying this, Hua Jiyuan turned around and walked quickly Left Qin Mansion.
Gu Tianba looked at Hua Jiyuan's back and snorted bitterly, saying, "Just letting him go like this is really an advantage for him!"
Qin Zongheng said, "Let him go! Wait until Xiaodong comes back, and then settle the ledger with him!"
Long De said, "Then I have to adjust my breathing quickly and try to get back to my best condition as soon as possible! Otherwise, I'm afraid I will give him an advantage when I settle accounts with Hua Jiyuan. There are so many wronged souls in Xifeng City who died at the hands of the Hua family. I must seek justice for them!"
Leaving the Qin Mansion in a panic, Hua Jiyuan felt as if he was stepping on cotton, with his heart so light that it could not fall to the ground.
Not only was Long De not dead, he was also in good spirits, which surprised him greatly. But what he couldn't accept the most was that there was news about Qin Dong so soon, and Qin Dong was about to return to Beijing North City.
Assassinating Long De, occupying Xifeng City, and seizing power from Long Xi. Each of these three is enough for Qin Dong to kill him once.
Hua Jiyuan racked his brains to come up with a good strategy, but in his mind, all that appeared at this time were the scenes when Qin Dong led the four major families to destroy the Long family.
If Qin Dong was angry and dealt with the Hua family like he dealt with the Long family, would he be able to handle it? Just when such an idea suddenly appeared, before Hua Jiyuan could analyze it in detail, his forehead was already wet with cold sweat.
Hua Jiyuan was extremely disturbed and could not think of any feasible solution at all, let alone a good strategy. He hurriedly returned to Hua's house and wanted to discuss it with Hua Fengde. The strong sense of crisis that kept rolling in his heart made Hua Jiyuan realize that this might be a catastrophe for his Hua family.
Hua Jiyuan had just arrived in front of the study room where Hua Fengde worked and was about to go in.
"Hua Lao, Hua Lao..." Mu Jian jumped out of nowhere and called Hua Jiyuan.
Hua Jiyuan asked in surprise, "Didn't I ask you to report to Fengde? What are you doing outside?"
Mu Jian's face was filled with bitterness, and he said, "I went, but was... kicked out by His Majesty the Emperor."
"What? Is there such a thing?" Hua Jiyuan was surprised.
Mu Jian nodded hurriedly and asked quietly, "Mr. Hua, does His Majesty the Emperor still remember my grudge?"
Hua Jiyuan glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense! My son is not the kind of person with a small belly. Come on, come in with me." [
As soon as Hua Jiyuan and Mu Jian opened the door, they heard Situ Mutong's anxious voice: "Your Majesty, you...how can you not be the emperor?"
Situ Mutong's words almost made Hua Jiyuan swallow his tongue in shock. He rushed to Hua Fengde in a few steps and shouted, "Fengde, is what Mr. Situ said true?"
Hua Fengde had a gloomy look on his face, but when he saw Hua Jiyuan, he seemed to get even more angry. He snorted heavily, turned his head to the side, and said in a deep voice, "You came at the right time, and you will save me the time to rule." You are no longer the emperor. I want to be you!"
Hua Fengde was originally a very filial person and rarely spoke in such a tone to Hua Jiyuan. This sudden incident made Hua Jiyuan feel at a loss. He asked several times why, but Hua Fengde said nothing except that he would no longer be emperor.
Hua Jiyuan was anxious and angry. He turned to look at Situ Mutong and asked, "Master Situ, what happened?"
When Situ Mutong heard Hua Jiyuan's question, his face immediately became serious and he said angrily, "You have the nerve to ask me? This is all your fault!"
"Me? What did I do to me?" Hua Jiyuan asked with tears in his eyes.
Situ Mutong pointed at the wooden sword and asked coldly, "What's going on with him?"
Hua Jiyuan finally came to his senses and said to Hua Fengde, "Fengde, are you angry with me because of this?"
Hua Fengde said angrily, "Dad, I told you very clearly that you are not allowed to interfere with the dragon's breath. Since you don't listen to me, what's the point of being an emperor? You should always be strong and energetic." You are strong-willed and have great ambitions. As I look at the position of emperor, you should be the one to do it!"
Hua Jiyuan said dumbfounded, "You kid, what are you talking about? I am buried up to my neck in loess, who am I to be an emperor? As for the dragon's breath, that has nothing to do with me."
"It has nothing to do with you?" Hua Fengde turned to look at Hua Jiyuan with a look of disbelief.
Hua Jiyuan said hurriedly, "It really has nothing to do with me! Guan Peng's cultivation is poor, and he has no prestige. In Dragon's Breath, he cannot convince the crowd and is overthrown. That is normal. Is he Elder Mu?" he said. As he stood, Hua Jiyuan made wild moves on the wooden sword.
Mu Jian understood and hurriedly said, "Mr. Hua is absolutely right. What is Guan Peng? He was just an ordinary warrior in Dragon Breath originally. I want him to serve as the highest officer of Dragon Breath. Isn't that disrespecting my dragon?" Is he the one who wants to fight? Most of the warriors in Longxi are dissatisfied with him!"
"Is this true?" Hua Fengde asked, looking at Mu Jian coldly.
"Yes, it's true!" Mu Jian nodded hurriedly, with a confident expression on his face.
"Okay! Then go and call Guan Peng and ask him to confront you!" Hua Fengde snorted coldly.
"This..." Mu Jian was in a dilemma. Now that Guan Peng is locked in the dungeon, where can Hua Fengde see him
"Fengde, you... why don't you even believe my words now?" Hua Jiyuan originally wanted to talk to Hua Fengde about dealing with Qin Dong, but he didn't expect to encounter such a scene. He really wanted to cry. No tears.
"Dad! Don't fool me anymore! Don't think that I don't know that as soon as you left my place a few days ago, you went directly to Dragon Breath. In the following few days, Dragon Breath has undergone earth-shaking changes. Those Dragon Breath warriors who supported Guan Peng were either expelled from Dragon Breath or killed. It was such a bloody storm! Do you dare to say that there was no such thing?"
"Ah? I..." Hua Jiyuan didn't expect Hua Fengde to investigate the matter so clearly, and he didn't know how to make excuses at this time.
Hua Fengde shook his head and said with sadness and anger on his face, "Every warrior in Longxi has made great contributions to our Longyuan Kingdom through life and death. But you, for your own selfish desires, treated us so cruelly?" They really went too far!"[
Hua Fengde, who had always been extremely submissive to Hua Jiyuan, actually said such heavy words this time, which made Hua Jiyuan's heart beat wildly and his mouth was stunned.
Hua Fengde pushed all the documents on the table to the ground and said word for word, "I will officially inform you now that the enthronement ceremony is cancelled. I will no longer be the emperor!" He said these words. , Hua Fengde raised his feet to leave.
"Stop!" Hua Jiyuan suddenly shouted angrily, the buzz almost shattering the glass in the room.
After an angry shout, Hua Jiyuan's anger was completely released. An expression that was almost pleading appeared on his face. His tone slowed down and he said faintly, "Fengde, don't be impulsive. Listen to me." , I’m not doing this for the good of our entire family?”
"I don't understand. What you did was treacherous and cruel. You treated the credibility of our entire family as trivial and wantonly destroyed it. And you still said it was for the good of our family? Dad, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"So what if it's ridiculous? In short, I'll do the ridiculous things! As long as it can preserve the power of our Hua family for generations to come, I'm willing to do anything you ask me!" Hua Jiyuan showed no regrets at all and looked very determined. One word, one word and one word to the point.
Hua Feng was full of virtue, but he couldn't bear to say more unpleasant things. Everything Hua Jiyuan did was, as he said, all for the honor and future of his family, and he had no intention of giving up.
Sighing, Hua Fengde said, "Dad, forgive me! I really can't agree with what you have done. I really don't have the face to be the emperor anymore."
"Fengde, just do it for the family and don't give up the throne!" Hua Jiyuan said pleadingly.
Hua Fengde shook his head slowly, "It is precisely because of the family that I have to give up the throne! I also hope that you can find your way back and stop following the old path of the Long family!"
"Nonsense! The Long family is the Long family, and I, Hua Jiyuan, am me, Hua Jiyuan. How can you compare me to the Long family?" Hua Jiyuan slammed the table and roared.
Hua Fengde was very helpless. At this time, Hua Jiyuan seemed to have fallen into the ecstasy and completely lost his mind. It cannot be persuaded to come back with just a few words.
Without saying another word, Hua Fengde walked out wordlessly. Although Hua Jiyuan's heart was bleeding, he held on and said nothing, watching Hua Fengde leave.
When Hua Fengde disappeared outside the door, Hua Jiyuan collapsed on the sofa as if he had lost all strength, with a look of confusion and sadness on his face, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden.
