304 Xuan Pei Identity
Hearing the news from his grandson, Nanglong Souka almost got the urge to beat up Nanglong Soujin. When did he agree to take care of the problem in Ming Kingdom capital? It would be better for him to stay in Long Han city and take care of other matter there.
However, he has already following Soujin and the others up to the capital of Ming Kingdom. There was no way he could just hitch a ride and went from the capital that easily. Besides, Yan could just say it at the hall, and the other officials would volunteer themselves to watch over him.
"You owe me one, you brat, " Nanglong Souka said grumpily.
Nanglong Soujin said, "Yan will appoint you as the prime minister again, so take care of the kingdom well, Grandpa."
Nanglong Souka was stunned at the spot. Not because of the appointment since he has already guessed it beforehand, rather it was because of the way Soujin called him. Normally, the boy would ignore him since the matter with his father and partially blame him. He was already used to it, but hearing Soujin called him 'Grandpa' again, he felt moved.
However, Soujin's face didn't change at all as he stood up, "Lou will show you the place."
After Soujin left, Nanglong Souka followed Lou. He was still feeling a bit moved over how Soujin called him until he saw the room where he would work. Papers were everywhere and given the size of the room, it was guaranteed that he will need over one week to finish reading all of them. That was only if there was no new paper given.
"That devious brat!" Nanglong Souka now felt that the moved feeling he has was wasted on someone like Soujin. How in the world he could finish the entire work?
...
North Border
After going through the secret passage, the emperor along with the other three people finally reached the northwest border. The journey took some time, but they could escape from the capital. Looking around, the emperor heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that they were safe.
"It seemed that brat didn't send anyone to chase after us, " the emperor smiled deviously. Strategist Wu had planned an emergency escape if something occurred. At first, he thought of it as a ridiculous deed, but now he was really grateful for the brilliant idea from Strategist Wu.
He felt a bit down because he lost a lot of people close to him, but it didn't matter anymore. He would take the power back from them.
"Are you alright, Your Highness?" the empress asked softly. Despite she was the one who was a woman she still cared about the emperor first. This trait of hers truly made the emperor doted on her very much.
"Don't worry. We are going to be alright, " the emperor laughed. It was not the time to be depressed anymore. Strategist Wu has prepared for everything.
Ming Gong frowned, "Father, why are we staying here?"
The place couldn't be considered good. There was no exact safe place in here and out in the wild, there was no protection for them. Even a spoiled prince like him knew that staying outside for night was dangerous.
"We are waiting, " the emperor answered calmly. He wanted his son to succeed him, but it seemed the brat was not growing at all. There was no longer any time for waiting.
"Xuan Pei?" Ming Gong turned, "Why don't you say something?"
Xuan Pei was holding a small knife in his hand. When Ming Gong turned around, he stabbed the other party. Although Ming Gong learned a bit of martial arts as a prince, he was helpless when attacked so suddenly like this. Not to mention that he was really tired because of walking a long journey.
That one stab instantly took his life.
Hearing the commotion from behind, the Empress turned around before screaming loudly, and she hurriedly runs to the side. The emperor's eyes widen in surprise, "You! Who are you?"
The Xuan Pei that he knew was a good official who only knew how to use his mind. The person before him has the same face, but he seemed really different compared to the usual calm and righteous Xuan Pei.
Seeing their reaction, Xuan Pei smiled, "It seemed I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Xuan Pei. I'm Prince Ye Lei people."
Ye Lei... The emperor obviously knew this name. Ye Lei were one of the princes in Pan Kingdom who was famous for his brutality. He was not only a prince, but he was also a general who would use any kind of meant to get what he wanted.
The emperor's face turned ashen, "How can you get inside?"
He never appointed this person, since when did the spy of another kingdom could freely get into the palace? Now he was truly angry at the lack of security in the palace.
Xuan Pei shook his head, "It's your son who let me get inside. Do you forget about Ming Kui?"
The emperor looked at his son, this was the first time he felt completely defeated. How come the two kingdoms cooperate so well to bring him down?
"Did you cooperate with the Nanglong family?"ƒ𝑟e𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋no𝙫𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
"What are you talking about? The Pan Kingdom would not compromise with anyone, " Xuan Pei smiled, "It's better if you give up soon, emperor. No one is going to save you anymore."
The army from Pan Kingdom has come, but the emperor didn't panic. He smiled slightly and waved his hand before dozens of black clothing people appear. They hold down Xuan Pei and took the emperor and empress go.
Xuan Pei was stunned, but he was proficient in martial arts, so battling them was not a big problem. He looked towards the direction of they went, but he quickly being surrounded. Luckily for him, the soldiers from Pan Kingdom came over and help him.
He quickly knelt down, "Your Highness, this subject failed to do his mission. Please punish me."
Prince Ye Lei, who came with the army, looked towards Xuan Pei indifferently, "You did great. Return to the capital with me."
"Yes Your Highness."
Xuan Pei hurriedly stood up and helped in the cleaning. At first, his mission was to gather information without getting found out, it was only later did it changed to kill the princes and emperor of Ming Kingdom. Even though he didn't finish it completely, the Ming Kingdom was already over.
After this, their task would be taking over the Ming Kingdom from Nanglong family's hand. It shouldn't be that hard.
