Chapter 342: Chaos in Southern Chu
Shen Yi glanced at Shen Zhao, what he was about to say next was crucial.
It's obvious that this tactless thing won't get out.
He was not afraid that the man surnamed Chu would tell others and betray them.
As long as Mr. Chu dares to speak up, he doesn't have to do anything himself, someone will naturally take care of him and kill him.
Chen Zhao: ...You're not going to kill me, you're going to kill Chu Mu... Why doesn't my brother believe that I'm Chen Zhao?
Seeing her elder brother's disgusted look broke her heart.
Shen Yi's expression became extremely serious.
"The princes that Zhao Zhao had executed by His Majesty were not all dead."
Shen Zhao knew this. Not only were not all of them dead, but not a single one died.
They are all still alive and well.
"One of them fled to Lingnan. Over the years, he has been secretly raising troops in Lingnan and privately recruiting talented advisers from all sides. After years of recuperation, he is now the true ruler of Lingnan, one of the Six Kings back then."
Shen Zhao instantly became nervous. Doesn't that mean his father and brother are in danger?
"Brother, are you and father in danger?" Chu Mu looked at A Zhao's nervous expression and asked immediately.
"Not yet. On the third day after my father and I arrived in Lingnan, the Sixth Prince received us and entertained us."
Shen Zhao and Chu Mu exchanged a quick glance.
"Brother, who do you and father belong to now?" Chu Mu knew that this was what Ah Zhao wanted to know most.
He is the same as Ah Zhao.
"The Sixth King's men."
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking.
Shen Zhao's expression was unpredictable. Had his father and brother really become traitors now?
Her father was loyal to the court. Could it be that she and Chu Mu had guessed wrongly, and her father was not the prince's man? Her father was really framed by the prince's party.
As a result, my father lost hope in the emperor and the prince, and turned to the enemy camp.
If this is true, she must change her strategy immediately.
Although she was the daughter of the Ninth Prince, she chose her father and brother over the Ninth Prince.
If it is true that the prince forced his father and brother away for his own selfish desires, then he is not worthy of the throne.
His father and brother were both loyal ministers and capable generals, yet he was so cruel to them.
When he ascends the throne, won't the people of Southern Chu be living in misery and the court be in chaos?
Chu Mu's expression also dimmed. He knew that A Zhao would give everything for Uncle Shen and Brother Shen.
Since that was the case, he would help Ah Zhao do whatever she wanted.
He doesn't care who owns the world, A Zhao can only be his.
"So brother wants to see the emperor in order to assassinate him?" Chu Mu had already thought of a way to persuade Shen Yi. Assassinating the emperor was such a dangerous thing that Shen Yi must not be allowed to do.
Once something happens to Brother Shen, A Zhao's world will collapse.
A trace of discomfort flashed across Shen Yi's face, and he said in annoyance, "I didn't explain it clearly, causing Zhao Zhao to misunderstand. My father and I are nominally the Sixth Prince's men, but our true identities are..."
Having said that, Shen Yi looked at Chu Mu with eyes full of guilt, and said guiltily:
"Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry. My father and I weren't really demoted. It was just an excuse for His Majesty to send my father and me out of Kyoto so he could secretly search for the whereabouts of those rebels.
The capable generals in Southern Chu can be counted on one hand, so Chen Wu and the others will naturally not be wooed by those princes who are trying to survive by chance.
The Emperor set up this trap to lure us into exile all the way to Lingnan, where only the Sixth Prince showed up to recruit my father and me into the camp."
As he spoke, the guilt in Shen Yi's eyes became even stronger.
"Zhao Zhao has made you bear the infamy of being the daughter of a corrupt and treacherous official for the past two years. You have suffered so much injustice. Will you blame your father and brothers for not telling you the truth? Will you blame your father and brothers for making you suffer because of us?"
He and his father were sentenced to prison and labeled as corrupt officials. Zhao Zhao ran around for him and his father and suffered cold stares and humiliation. He and his father knew all this.
In order to consider the overall situation, they did not tell Zhao Zhao the truth, causing Zhao Zhao to suffer severe physical and mental damage.
If he and his father had not left the capital, Zhao Zhao would not have been tortured by those beasts of the Chu family, suffered humiliation and humiliation to the point of being afraid to resist.
She knew that all of Zhaozhao's forbearance was so that they could survive in Lingnan.
Ultimately, they were the ones who harmed Zhao Zhao.
Even if he dies this time, he will protect Zhao Zhao and never let her suffer any injustice again.
Listening to his elder brother's inner self-blame and guilt towards her, Shen Zhao couldn't help but tear up.
She did not blame her father and brother, as she knew they were ambitious people.
He is a person who is loyal to the emperor, patriotic and cares about the people of the world.
"Zhao Zhao, I came to the capital this time to firstly send you away from the dangerous place, and secondly to inform His Majesty that the Sixth Prince has made unusual movements in Lingnan.
When I arrived, the Sixth Prince had my father and his cronies begin expedited military training, acquiring food and fodder, and forging weapons. He must be planning a rebellion."
Shen Yi pondered for a moment, then continued, "My father and I will undoubtedly bear the label of traitors and lead the charge for the Sixth Prince. Before the Sixth Prince is executed, Zhao Zhao will also be labeled the daughter of a traitor because of my father and me. The Emperor might even imprison you to make the whole thing a success."
A glint of determination flashed in Chen Yi's eyes. "My father and I have served Nanchu for a long time. We must not sacrifice Zhao Zhao and let you suffer with us. Zhao Zhao, listen to your brother and leave Jingdu. I will leave some people to protect you."
As he spoke, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "If my father and I were still alive, we would come to pick you up as soon as possible. If my father and I died in battle, Zhao Zhao would hide his identity and forget everything and live a peaceful life."
Family and country are important, but Zhao Zhao is more important. Zhao Zhao has suffered enough over the years.
"Brother..." Shen Zhao's eyes were bloodshot and he shouted with sobs.
Shen Yi was still feeling sad just now, but his face turned green when he heard the words. Why would he cry when Zhao Zhao didn't cry?
"Brother, how did you manage to enter the capital without telling our father, and how did you hide it from the Sixth Prince?" Chu Mu was not Chen Zhao, and he was still sober and rational.
Since Brother Shen is now the Sixth Prince's man, and the Sixth Prince is in the stage of planning a rebellion, how could he let Brother Shen come to Kyoto?
Now that Brother Shen is here, Uncle Shen is in great danger.
Shen Yi smiled bitterly, "Zhao Zhao, I only entered the capital this time without telling my father, and I didn't tell the Sixth Prince."
"The Sixth Prince doesn't completely trust me and Dad. He sent me to Kyoto to assassinate Chu Mu using your brother's identity. He also asked me to bring you, Mother, and Qian Meng back to Lingnan, otherwise he would kill Dad."
"What?" Shen Zhao couldn't sit still anymore. His father was in danger!
Shen Yi rolled his eyes at Shen Zhao and said, "Why are you so excited? Don't worry, I won't kill you. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't say this in front of you."
"You are the only one left in Nanchu who can lead troops into battle. Chen Wu and the other two are just hoping that Nanchu will become chaotic. They will definitely not take action to quell the rebellion."
"Once you die, the emperor will have fewer soldiers and generals to use."
"The six princes can't wait any longer. Little do they know how many others are lurking in the dark, waiting for chaos in Southern Chu so they can reap the benefits."
Chen Zhao knew that his elder brother would not kill Chu Mu, but if his elder brother did not take action, it would be his father who died.
A light suddenly appeared in Shen Zhao's eyes, and he asked:
"Since the Sixth Prince asked you, Brother Shen, to assassinate me and take Zhao Zhao and the others away, he must have sent a lot of people to monitor and assist you. Are those people in the city now?"
