C279 A Hidden Threat

When he handed over a small portion of the Poison Dragon Army's people to Hsiang Yunli, Hsiang Yunyang reminded him to never let his fifth brother act on impulse.

However, the ownership of that small group was in Hsiang Yunli's hands, so Hsiang Yunyang could not keep an eye on it and be on guard against it.

He could not take care of it at first glance. Now that such a thing had happened, it was fortunate that the Poison Dragon Army's soldiers had developed the habit of taking poison in advance before they moved out. That was why Hsiang Yunyang's identity was not exposed.

However, Hsiang Yunyang knew that as long as Hsiang Yunjie and Ye Tian were still alive, he would be in great danger. Now that Chu King had summoned him here, it was precisely because of this that the suspicion in his heart had increased.

At this moment, Chu King looked at Hsiang Yunyang and didn't say anything. After all, Hsiang Yunli had killed all the soldiers that he had brought with him. Even if he continued to investigate, the information he obtained wouldn't be true.

"Hsiang Yunli, you have really disappointed me. I have been a prince for so many years. Not only did you not do anything for the Hsiang family, you even provoked me again and again. If I don't punish you severely today, even the ancestors of the Hsiang family won't agree to it! "

Chu King looked at Hsiang Yunli, and finally, he no longer showed mercy. He decided to give the order to punish Hsiang Yunli.

"From today onwards, Hsiang Yunli will be banished to a secluded room in the Imperial Palace. He will never be free until he is granted amnesty!"

Chu King's order made Hsiang Yunli's face turn pale and he fell to the ground.

He had heard about the legend of the palace since he was young. It was the place where Chu King exiled the people of the royal family.

In that place, no matter how noble his previous identity was, he couldn't have any sense of superiority. In fact, he might even be treated as a servant by the servants in the palace.

Moreover, the secluded room of the palace could not see the sun all year round. Those who could not withstand it inside would die inside and no one would collect their corpses.

Although Chu King's decision didn't kill Hsiang Yunli, it was also a form of torture!

"That Imperial Concubine of yours allows you to do whatever you want. From today onwards, she will be demoted to a Concubine. Without a summons, you are not allowed to take a step into the Imperial Palace!"

Chu King and Hsiang Yunli's Imperial Concubine did not let her go. They lowered their status and even prevented this woman from entering the Imperial Palace.

One should know that the Xiong family was so powerful in the Imperial City because they were related to the Imperial Family. Now that they were in such a situation, even if the entire Xiong family was destroyed, the Imperial Family wouldn't be able to take it to heart.

After receiving Chu King's order, the old official bowed and left, heading to the Xiong family to announce the news. However, Ye Tian, who was standing at the side, wasn't happy about this matter.

After all, such a thing was extremely insignificant in the current situation. It couldn't even affect Hsiang Yunyang. It was just that the decline of a prince beside him didn't affect him at all.

If such a thing happened, it would make Hsiang Yunyang hate Hsiang Yunjie even more. The conflict between them would also escalate to a whole new level. In other words, it was Chu King who tricked Hsiang Yunli.

However, it didn't matter to Ye Tian. He would have to fight Hsiang Yunyang sooner or later anyway. The previous conflicts were no longer important.

"I'm a little tired. Crown Prince and Grace Marquis, you can go back now. Ye Hou, you should go back too. I have troubled you with tonight's matter..."

Chu King rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired. After all, Hsiang Yunli was still his son. No matter how stubborn he was, blood was thicker than water, and he couldn't part with it.

However, in the battle for the throne, it was perfectly normal for someone to be sacrificed. Back then, Chu King had also reached the highest point of the imperial power, and there was no room for negotiation.

Ye Tian bid farewell to Chu King and Hsiang Yunyang. The events of the night were very intense. Although the final result didn't bring them any benefits, they could only silently accept it.

Ye Tian and Hsiang Yunjie, who had just walked out of the hall, were immediately stopped by the Crown Prince behind them. They didn't even need to communicate to know that Hsiang Yunyang definitely wasn't thinking about good things.

"Ye Hou has really frightened you. I'm very angry that my naughty Fifth Brother could do such a thing. I'm sorry for what you did!"

Hsiang Yunyang's feelings were very vivid. If one didn't know the true nature of this person, one would think that he was a perfect king in the future.

However, after being in contact with Hsiang Yunyang for so many times, Ye Tian already knew that the Crown Prince in front of him wouldn't say such useless words. These words must have drawn out something that he would only say.

"Crown Prince, you don't have to keep it in mind. After all, this matter has nothing to do with the Crown Prince, right?"

At this moment, Ye Tian asked a question. His sudden words stunned Hsiang Yunyang, and he burst out laughing.

"Of course. If I had known about this earlier, how could I have let it happen?"0

Hsiang Yunyang pretended to be relaxed, but at the same time, he also became cautious. Based on what Ye Tian said, he knew that he had already sensed that something was not right, and that Ye Tian had even targeted him!

In this way, Hsiang Yunyang knew that he had more things to do, and he even needed to prepare the poison dragon!

"However, it's better for Ye Hou to be careful. After all, I'm afraid that Hsiang Yunli's army is not the only thing that will happen. This time, it has caused Ye Hou so much trouble. If there are more people... I really don't know what will happen next... "

It sounded like a warning, but it was full of threats in the mainland because Hsiang Yunyang was Poison Dragon Lord. It was only a matter of a thought for him to send out all the people from the Poison Dragon Army.

Ye Tian was able to avoid a surprise attack once. After two or three times, he was afraid that there would be one time that he couldn't defend against.

"Also, Ye Hou successfully broke through the encirclement this time. I heard that it was the help of my third brother's guards. I didn't expect third brother to have such an effect after only recruiting soldiers for a short period of time."

Hsiang Yunyang looked at Hsiang Yunjie again, causing Hsiang Yunjie to panic in his heart.

That meaningful look meant that Hsiang Yunyang definitely knew some secret thing!

"I wonder if Third Brother still remembers the matter of the Golden Snake Guard back then. I advise Third Brother not to get involved with this matter. Otherwise, even I don't know how to save you..."

Speaking of the Golden Snake Guard, Hsiang Yunyang's face became even more pleased with himself. However, Hsiang Yunjie was the complete opposite.

It was precisely because of the Imperial Family's order to declare the Golden Snake Guard as a rebellion that those powerful members of the Golden Snake Guard were like rats crossing the street. Now, they could only live cautiously.

It was also because of this that Hsiang Yunjie's life a few years ago was very poor. All of this was because of an order from back then!

But what Hsiang Yunjie did not know was that the one who facilitated this matter was Hsiang Yunyang's mother, the previous generation of the Misty Sect, saintess!

"What does the Crown Prince mean by this? Could it be that the Crown Prince wants to investigate me? If that's the case, there's no need to say anything else. Just go and rob the family!"

Hsiang Yunjie wasn't as calm as before. Instead, he used his tiny body to confront Hsiang Yunyang.

Currently, the few people of Golden Snake Guards had already changed their identities continuously. In name, they had completely removed themselves from the identity of the Golden Snake Guard.

The entire Golden Snake Guard was the only reliance left behind by Hsiang Yunjie's mother. Naturally, Hsiang Yunjie could not allow anyone else to get their hands on it.

If he was really forced into a corner, Hsiang Yunjie would definitely choose to advance and retreat together with the Golden Snake Guard. He would not allow his mother to be wronged and be charged with the crime of rebellion!

"Look, look. Third Brother did not say anything. You suddenly became agitated. As a Marquis now, the way you speak is really different from before..."

Hsiang Yunyang saw Hsiang Yunjie's expression and pretended to be pitiful, which made Ye Tian feel bad.
