C278 Abandoned
In his heart, he had no loyalty to anyone, and as long as he could keep his life, even his own mother could betray him.
Hsiang Yunli no longer had any dignity to talk about. He was full of the desire to live, so he told him all about the background of the troops he had brought.
"What is the name of this troop?"
After Hsiang Yunli finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately asked. After all, there was no one alive at the scene. Even if they wanted to keep one or two people alive, who knew that they had already taken the poison before they came?
This attitude was that they came with the attitude that they would never return, and it was also to hide the truth of the matter.
"I don't know. When Crown Prince handed these people to me, he only told me to wait for the right time. He didn't tell me too much."
Hsiang Yunli knew nothing about these things. He didn't have any valuable information to say.
In fact, Hsiang Yunli didn't even inform Hsiang Yunyang about this operation. Relying on the qualification that Hsiang Yunyang had given him, he directly ordered this army to attack.
Hsiang Yunli knew nothing about the rest of the matters. Ye Tian and Hsiang Yunjie exchanged a glance and understood the gist of the matter.
Such an action meant that Hsiang Yunyang had completely separated himself from him. No matter what, the whole matter had nothing to do with Hsiang Yunyang.
If Hsiang Yunyang really gave the order to leave, Hsiang Yunli might really have a chance to return to the royal family. But this time, Hsiang Yunli acted on his own accord and destroyed everything.
Not only that, the consequences of this matter would be borne by Hsiang Yunli alone.
"Mo, I have told you everything. You must protect me!"
At this moment, Hsiang Yunli was still hoping that Hsiang Yunjie could protect him so that he could avoid this trouble. He didn't know that Hsiang Yunjie no longer had this brother in his heart the moment he had the intention to kill him.
Perhaps this was a little heartless, but Hsiang Yunjie knew that the more he showed mercy, the more chances he would give his enemies.
"Mr. Ye, I'll have to trouble you to bring him to see Chu King. I'll let them go back. They can't follow us into the palace."
Although the Golden Snake Guard had changed in name, Chu King had dealt with it before. As long as he studied it carefully, he would be able to find some clues.
If he knew that the Golden Snake Guard still existed, Hsiang Yunjie wouldn't be able to accommodate Hsiang Yunjie in the entire Chu Country.
Ye Tian nodded and pulled Hsiang Yunli away. When the latter saw that his fate was the same as before, he couldn't accept it.
"Mo, you won't save me? Hsiang Yunjie, you will die a horrible death!"
After bringing Hsiang Yunli to the Imperial Palace, the old official woke Chu King up. Chu King, who was about to grow old, was a little unhappy because he had woken up.
When he found out about what happened to Hsiang Yunli tonight, Chu King no longer had the same expression as before. Instead, he became serious. In his seriousness, there was even a trace of excitement and playfulness.
"Father, it is a serious crime for this son to disturb your rest, but Hsiang Yunli secretly recruited troops to kill Champion Marquis. This matter must be investigated!"
Hsiang Yunjie knelt on the ground. According to the plan he had discussed with Ye Tian before coming here, he didn't mention anything about the Crown Prince.
Hsiang Yunyang had already pushed all the matters to the back of his mind. If he were to name the Crown Prince now, perhaps Chu King would have to worry too much.
Therefore, Ye Tian reminded them very carefully that they couldn't tell the Crown Prince about this matter.
"Father... No, no, no. My king, this wasn't done by me. It was all given to me by the Crown Prince. It has nothing to do with me!"
Looking at Chu King's eyes, Hsiang Yunli's heart had already collapsed. He didn't want to think about anything now. He just wanted to pass all the responsibility to Hsiang Yunyang so that he could save his own life.
Hsiang Yunjie finally knew what Ye Tian was thinking. It was because of this that he wasn't suspected of suing his elder brother's Crown Prince. All the incidents had happened to Hsiang Yunli.
This seemed somewhat unfair to Hsiang Yunli, but after being with Ye Tian for so long, Hsiang Yunjie knew that Ye Tian was doing this for his own good.
"Alright. Now, go and call the Crown Prince here. I want to ask the Crown Prince what happened."1
Chu King didn't panic when he heard Hsiang Yunli's accusation. He waved his hand and asked the old official beside him to bring the Crown Prince back.
"By the way, bring the Imperial Guard with you. If anyone dares to stop us, kill them without hesitation."
Chu King's expression was very calm, as if he didn't feel anything at all. However, this sentence of 'kill them on sight' had already proved that Chu King was furious.
Ye Tian and Hsiang Yunjie stood on one side. One of them didn't dare to speak, and the other just wanted to see what the result would be this time.
The old official handled the matter very quickly. Under the accompaniment of the Imperial Guard, Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang arrived here very quickly.
Chu King also described what Hsiang Yunli had said to Hsiang Yunyang. Ye Tian stood on the other side, and he could see that the corner of Hsiang Yunyang's eyes wasn't twitching on purpose.
"Father, I really don't know about these things. Although Sixth Brother Yun told me to get on good terms with me, after Yunli was punished, the two of us didn't have any contact with him!"
Hsiang Yunyang showed a confused expression. In Ye Tian's opinion, if he didn't know the Crown Prince's temperament, he would be puzzled by such an expression and think that he had been wrongly accused.
"Father, the guards you gave me previously were still stationed at the perimeter of the Imperial Palace. I was originally at the Earth Profound Stage, and secretly recruiting troops was a fictitious thing. Don't tell me I have the money to support so many people?"
Hsiang Yunyang continued to speak, his eyes were serious and his expression was neither servile nor overbearing. No one could find the slightest clue about him. Father, you have given me a hundred guards, and they are still guarding the perimeter of the Imperial Palace. I am a ___ warrior, and it is impossible for me to recruit them privately. Do you think I have the money to support so many people?
Even Chu King had no reason to refute his words. As the Crown Prince, although Hsiang Yunyang had a lot of salary every season, he had donated most of it to fortify the defenses around the Imperial City.
Even Chu King knew that if Hsiang Yunyang's food and drink were to be of a higher quality, it would also be the delicacies offered by the surrounding cities. Hsiang Yunyang himself was not qualified to buy it.
"Father, this son can be questioned in any way, but the conflict between brothers is something that father is unwilling to see. Father, please make the decision for this son!"
When he spoke of excitement, Hsiang Yunyang immediately knelt down. The meaning behind his words was actually to request for Hsiang Yunli to be severely punished!
"Hsiang Yunyang, you are really despicable. You used me to get rid of Hsiang Yunjie. Now that the matter has been exposed, you want to leave me behind! Right!"
Hsiang Yunli looked at Hsiang Yunyang who was standing at the side and was completely enraged. He had thought that he was Hsiang Yunyang's right-hand man, but now he knew that he was just a pawn!
He was abandoned by the royal family, and now he was sent to the top of the storm by the Crown Prince. No one could sense Hsiang Yunli's mood.
However, Ye Tian and Hsiang Yunjie were both a little disappointed at this moment. The role that Hsiang Yunli played could even be ignored!
Not only that, the words that he had just insulted the Crown Prince, even if it wasn't for the previous incidents, he would still be severely punished!
"Father, how could this son not want to defend himself? If Father doesn't believe me, I'll just ask the Head Chief to investigate thoroughly!"
Hsiang Yunyang tried his best to argue, because he was not afraid at all. How could someone easily find out that he was able to make such a big move? Father, how could this son not want to defend himself? If Father doesn't believe me, I'll just ask the Head Chief to investigate it thoroughly!
Currently, Hsiang Yunyang didn't have much feelings for Hsiang Yunjie and Ye Tian. What he hated the most right now was Hsiang Yunli, who was beside him.
