Chapter 351: The old trick is repeated
Soon, the hostage sent by Beijiang to Xia State, the third prince of Beijiang, Huyan Yuan, was mentioned again.
Huyan Yuan, who had been secretly imprisoned by Xiao Ji for a long time, was finally released and gained a little freedom.
He went from being imprisoned in a dark cell without seeing the sun to being under house arrest in the palace.
It was also at this time that Huyan Yuan realized that things in the Xia Kingdom had changed!
He looked at Xiao Ji and Xie Yao who were sitting at the top. A trance flashed across his eyes which were somewhat dull due to being locked up. Then he reacted and frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
After being locked up for so long, Huyan Yuan was almost going crazy, but he was more certain of some things in his heart.
For example: Xiao Ji didn't dare to kill him.
It must be the pressure from his brother and Beijiang that prevented Xiao Ji from taking his life! This is the benefit of having a backer. With Beijiang around, Xiao Ji dared not touch him.
Otherwise, the two countries would go to war.
If Beijiang dares, does Xia Kingdom dare?
snort!
Perhaps it was because he had been locked up for too long, and Xiao Ji had left him in a state of complete calm and solitude. No one had spoken a word to him for several months. The man who used to be very good at observing people's expressions now showed whatever he was thinking on his face.
Xiao Ji saw it clearly, and his indifferent eyes fell on Hu Yanyuan, "The third prince of Northern Frontier."
"I'm sorry for putting you through so much trouble these past few months."
Hmmmm???
Huyan Yuan's brain froze for a moment.
Why would Xiao Ji say such things out of the blue?
The Northern Frontier Army had already reached the outside of the palace? Was Xiao Ji afraid of death, so he quickly begged for mercy?
But it's too late to beg for mercy now!
snort!
He would never let Xiao Ji go...
"Sinan." Xiao Ji said, "The Third Prince hasn't come out for several months. Tell him about the current situation."
Hu Yanyuan frowned.
Si Nan said: "Let the Third Prince know that the old emperor of Northern Frontier passed away half a month ago. On the same day, the former crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince... and the seven grandchildren of the emperor all died."
The Northern Frontier Emperor was not like the Xia Kingdom Emperor, who was also a sentimental person. The Northern Frontier Emperor was the most romantic and sentimental, but he had more than ten sons.
Hu Yanyuan almost became dumbfounded after listening to this.
So many deaths?
What did Xiao Ji mean by mentioning this now? Was he threatening him?
etc!
Hu Yanyuan suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Ji abruptly, "Second brother..."
"The second prince Huyan ascended the throne ten days ago and became the new emperor of Northern Frontier." Sinan answered as a matter of course.
Then he added: "However, the new emperor of Northern Frontier did not seem to mention you, the third prince."
There was obvious gloating in Si Nan's voice.
Hu Yanyuan's expression turned ugly. Si Nan's provocation was superficial but effective. But he still said stubbornly, "Impossible!"
There is no way that the second brother would just ignore him!
He and his second brother were born of the same mother. When he was young, he took the initiative to go to Xia Country as a hostage for his second brother. Later, in order to help his second brother, he married Xiao Ning, a fickle and frivolous woman...
My second brother said that we will share the territory of Northern Frontier with him after we conquer it!
Xiao Ji and Xie Yao did not argue with Hu Yanyuan, but just looked at him with sympathy.
Hu Yanyuan was hurt by such a look, and he became more and more manic and angry, "Impossible! Don't try to fool me! I don't believe it!"
Xiao Ji said: "It is up to you, Third Prince, to believe it or not."
"However, there are some things that perhaps the Third Prince could take a look at." After Xiao Ji finished speaking, Si Nan immediately delivered the letter to Hu Yanyuan.
It was none other than the letter that Hu Yanye sent when Xiao Ji instigated Hu Yanye to rebel last time.
It clearly records the fact that Huyan Ye decided to abandon Huyan Yuan.
The more Huyan Yuan read, the uglier his expression became. The hand holding the letter clenched into a fist, veins on the back of his hand emerged, and the veins on his forehead also jumped, as if he could suddenly attack and kill someone at any time!
He recognized the handwriting.
Although he was a hostage in Xia Kingdom, he had always been in contact with his second brother, so he was very sure that this was his second brother's handwriting.
His good second brother, the second brother for whom he had given so much.
Abandoning him so easily.
It’s really... good, good, very good!
Except for Hu Yanyuan, no one else in the hall spoke. Xie Yao and Xiao Ji just looked at him quietly.
After a long time, Huyan Yuan raised his head. His originally crazy eyes were now much more rational.
"Humph." Hu Yanyuan sneered, his tone was unfriendly, "Go ahead, tell me these... What do you want me to do?"
If he wasn't valuable, Xiao Ji wouldn't have to put on this show.
Xiao Ji kept him, and it turned out that he was still useful.
Although the use is somewhat different from what he imagined.
Xiao Ji said: "The Third Prince is wrong."
"Now that the two countries have gone to war, there is no point in keeping the third prince as a hostage. Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted, so you naturally want to send the third prince back to his homeland." Xie Yao said with a smile.
"I understand."
Hu Yanyuan's sneer did not subside, but became even more wanton, "You want me to return to Northern Xinjiang and seize power from Hu Yanye."
"Sure." Hu Yanyuan agreed readily, "I can promise you."
He raised his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Ji, "Then what can you give me? You can't let me go back empty-handed, right?"
Are you going to give yourself away?
