Chapter 250: Just for your greed and ambition

Chu Huaian's behavior was a bit extreme. He raised his halberd and chopped towards Cheng Jin's position, but was blocked by Chu Chengye.

Chu Chengye was very skilled in the battlefield and had great strength. Chu Huaian was emotional and could only use brute force, so he was pushed a distance away.

Seeing that Chu Huaian was going to hurt Cheng Jin, Chu Chengye was filled with a dangerous aura, and he stabbed Chu Huaian with the spear in his hand.

Chu Huaian could not resist and could only pull the reins to dodge.

Chu Huaian's performance was too strange. It didn't seem like he just knew it, but rather like he had been pretending not to know but was exposed as humiliated.

Cheng Jin understood instantly, and she raised her voice, determined to tell Chu Huaian.

"In fact, you already knew it, didn't you?"

"You know that your father is not the late emperor, and you also know that you are not a prince, so you care so much about the throne, and the queen mother cares so much about the throne, because you all know it."

"You also know who your biological father is, right? It's the imperial physician Su Shensu who accompanied the queen mother in Shou'an Palace for her whole life."

"Did you know that he died? Do you know how he died? Did he also become a stepping stone on your way to the throne?"

Cheng Jin asked Chu Huaian one question after another, like a sharp sword piercing Chu Huaian's heart, every sentence was sharp, every word was heartbreaking.

Chu Huaian wanted Cheng Jin to shut up, but Chu Chengye took his moves every time, making it impossible for him to get close to Cheng Jin.

Chu Huaian could only yell at Cheng Jin: "Shut up! Shut up! It's all fake!"

Chu Huaian was panting heavily, with veins on his forehead bulging, but he seemed to be slowly calming down his anger as he heard the footsteps getting louder and louder behind him.

Cheng Jin touched something when Chu Chengye approached her, and when Chu Huaian was too busy fighting to care about her, she held the thing in her hand and touched the bow and arrow on the other side. She pretended to be calm and continued:

"In fact, you know everything, but you don't want to know anything. You just want to enjoy everything, but you are not willing to bear anything."

"You want to plot, you want to ascend the throne, you blame everyone, blame everyone who blocked your way, so you think that those who died or lived a miserable life because of you deserve it."

"What about the people in Qingzhou City? Did they block you? Did they hinder you? They could even help you, but for your selfishness and personal gain, you almost slaughtered everyone in the city. You ignored them, used them, and killed them. What did they do wrong?"

Chu Huaian chopped around with a long spear in his hand. He roared, "There will always be deaths during the change of dynasties. They died for the great cause of the Southern Qi Dynasty. They died for a good cause and they were willing to die. It is their honor to die for me."

"Have you asked for their consent?"

Cheng Jin's voice rang out along with the sound of the arrows.

"You are willing to do anything for you and destroy lives just for your own selfish interests. Who will support you as the emperor of Southern Qi?"

"Is all this for the sake of the benevolent monarch you claim to be, or for your own greed and ambition?"

Chu Huaian was stunned. He didn't know if it was because of the arrows that had been fired or Cheng Jin's words. He was slightly stunned, but when he heard the voice behind him, he suddenly woke up.

His army has arrived.

Chu Huaian looked back at the soldiers who rushed up, and his stiff expression suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

Chu Huaian turned around, raised his arm and said loudly: "Soldiers, whoever can kill them, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely talk to your king and let you be promoted and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

Chu Chengye gave an order, and the group of soldiers ran faster, looking at Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin as greedily as if they saw silver.

Looking at the soldiers who were about to come, Chu Chengye recognized at a glance that they were not from the Southern Qi people, but from the Northern Frontier.

Chu Chengye instantly understood how Chu Huaian had such a large army in a short time.

Chu Chengye blocked Chu Huaian's halberd, quickly turned around and said to Cheng Jin: "Go!"

Cheng Jin immediately turned around, grabbed the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and ran forward desperately.

When Chu Chengye ran a distance away, he immediately pulled away and ran.

Chu Huaian and his men were so numerous that it was not a good idea to confront them head-on.

Chu Chengye was curious before, because he had received news from the camp that Chu Huaian should have come in from the mountain entrance, so how could he come from the other side with the army.

Someone on that side reported to Chu Chengye that it was a dead end, but now it seems that they must have been bribed long ago.

Chu Chengye knew who it was without thinking, but he didn't have the time to think about it now.

It was not disappointment at all, and his heart was not disturbed at all. Xu Jilin gave birth to him just to protect Chu Huaian from disasters and serve as a scapegoat. He should not have expected Xu Jilin to be a loving mother and a filial son from the beginning. If

he is no longer useful, he will be just an enemy to Chu Huaian.

The arrows have been fired. In less than a quarter of an hour, General Sheng will be able to lead his troops to surround the entire Qinshan Mountain. What they need to do now is to avoid the group of people behind them.

Cheng Jin and Chu Chengye ran very fast, but Chu Huaian and his Northern Frontier troops were chasing them. If they continue like this, they will not get any advantage and will have to worry about when Chu Huaian will catch up with them.

Cheng Jin also realized this. The horses they rode were specially raised for hunting, so they were naturally not as good as Chu Huaian's fierce horses that galloped on the battlefield.

The horses of the two men turned and went deep into the forest. At a bend, Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin exchanged glances and instantly understood each other's intentions.

The horses of the two men were very close to each other. Chu Chengye raised his hand to hold Cheng Jin's waist, and with a little force, Cheng Jin got on Chu Chengye's horse.

Looking at the horse getting farther and farther away, Chu Chengye reined in his horse and turned to another intersection.

Chu Huaian, who caught up, soon saw the slightly smaller horse hoof prints on the ground, and he instantly understood Chu Chengye's plan. The troops

were divided into two groups, hoping to lead everyone to chase Chu Chengye only, and to leave a way for Cheng Jin.

Chu Huaian looked at the two forked roads and muttered to himself, "Chu Chengye really trusts Cheng Jin alone."

He raised his hand to stop the army from advancing and sneered, "Back then, Chu Chengye used Wanxin to restrain me. Now that the situation has changed, it's my turn to hold his life."

Chu Huaian shouted to the army behind him, "Capture the woman alive. She is in our hands. Chu Chengye can't run away."

The army behind him raised their weapons and said in unison: "Yes."

Chu Huaian then led the main force to one place, and sent a small army to continue chasing Chu Chengye, giving him a sense of pressure.

Cheng Jin didn't know how long the horse had been running, but he could clearly see that the horse's speed was not as fast as it should be. Obviously, Chu Chengye also noticed it. He didn't hesitate and stopped the horse directly, and got off the horse together.

Obviously, the enemy was chasing behind, but Chu Chengye didn't show any panic. He patted the horse's back lightly, and the horse seemed to understand human nature and knew what Chu Chengye wanted him to do. It quickly ran and disappeared from the sight of the two.

Cheng Jin was a little puzzled and said: "The horse has left, what should we do?"
