Chapter 589 The Fate of the Traitor
Xu Changlong wandered around Kangping City for a long time but found nothing.
It was not until dark that he dragged his tired body back home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw King Heng's men following him in. He couldn't help but frown, "That's enough, you guys are still following me even though I'm home. Are you afraid that I'll run away?"
The leader sneered, “We don’t mind whether you run away or not.
But are you sure you want to kick us out?
Our master said that Prince Xu must have sneaked into Kangping City.
The first thing he would do when he sneaks into Kangping City is definitely to look for you.
We are following you to protect you, don't be ungrateful!"
Xu Changlong was so overwhelmed by their words that he was speechless and could only close his eyes.
He was on board from the very beginning and now he can't get off.
And they were right. If Prince Xu entered Kangping City, he would definitely come to find him. With them following him secretly, his safety would be slightly guaranteed.
He opened his eyes and said sullenly, "Whatever you want!"
Then he walked into the house. As for the doubts of his family members, he simply explained and asked them to eat quickly, go back to their rooms to rest after dinner, and not come out unless necessary.
The same goes for him.
After finishing his meal, he hurriedly washed himself and returned to his room.
Then he locked the doors and windows, and after making sure that they could be opened without force, he lay down on the bed and went to sleep with peace of mind.
He locked the doors and windows himself. King Heng's men were guarding outside, so no matter how powerful Xu Wuyan was, he couldn't get in and hurt him.
As soon as he appears, King Heng's people will discover him and attack him immediately.
Relieved, Xu Changlong soon fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long he slept, but suddenly a chill came over him.
"Why is it so cold? Didn't you heat the kang tonight?"
Xu Changlong muttered something in a daze, then reached out to pull the quilt.
His hand hit the ground, and the biting coldness made Xu Changlong shiver violently.
Something is wrong!
Where is the quilt?
He grabbed his hands...
Xu Changlong suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was actually outdoors. He grabbed a handful of snow and wondered why he was so cold.
But the next second his heart started beating uncontrollably.
He was clearly sleeping in his room, so how could he suddenly be in the wild?
With a bad feeling in his heart, he stiffened his body and looked towards the dark surroundings.
Soon he found a familiar person behind him.
It was the beggar who was begging at the door of the VIP building today.
Xu Changlong breathed a sigh of relief, then got up from the ground and started cursing at the beggar:
"Damn it, you filthy thing, how dare you kidnap me?"
"Do you know who I am? You don't know anything, yet you dare to kidnap me? Are you tired of living?"
…
After cursing for a while, Xu Changlong stopped talking.
His face turned pale and his body began to tremble.
If the other party was really an ordinary beggar, how could he possibly take himself out of this heavily guarded home?
So there is only one possibility, he is Xu Wuyan, the prince of Xu.
Only he has the ability to take himself away quietly without alerting the people in the dark.
He suspected that he had hidden inside the house when he locked it.
Xu Changlong's legs went weak.
The other person just had a beard, but he didn't recognize him. He really wanted to dig out his own eyes!
Thinking of the Xu family's treatment of traitors, Xu Changlong finally couldn't help himself and knelt down directly.
"Wow, Prince, please spare my life.
I know I was wrong, I had no choice. Prince Heng threatened me with my family, so I had no choice!
But at this moment, he cursed King Heng's people in his heart.
They are all trash. They said they were protecting themselves, but they didn't even know they were kidnapped.
King Heng’s people are not reliable at all.
Xu Wuyan sneered, "Finally you know who I am?"
His voice was much lower than before, but Xu Changlong recognized it. He was really Prince Xu. He remembered Prince Xu's voice.
He came to find me.
Xu Changlong's body trembled even more violently this time, and he couldn't help but bang his head against the ground:
"Please spare my life, my lord. I know I was wrong."
"I...I was also forced. If I didn't obey, King Heng would have killed me and my entire family."
…
Xu Wuyan looked at Xu Changlong with cold eyes, "You know how the Xu family treats traitors.
Since you dared to betray the Xu family and sell out and harm your brothers, you should be prepared for the consequences of your revenge."
beg for mercy?
There was a hint of sarcasm in Xu Wuyan's eyes. Whoever stays with such a fence-sitter will be in trouble!
Seeing Xu Wuyan walking towards him with murderous intent, Xu Changlong was trembling with fear:
"Prince, don't kill me.
I will tell you everything I know, King Heng, yes, everything about King Heng."
Seeing Xu Wuyan stopped, Xu Changlong did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately revealed everything he knew, not daring to hide anything.
He was afraid that if he concealed even the slightest bit, the other party would kill him without hesitation.
"Prince, Prince Heng wants to rebel, but he's not ready yet, so he wants to drag the Xu family into it and use them to divert the emperor's attention."
Xu Changlong breathed heavily and paused, "That's all I know.
Prince, I have told you everything I know, are you…"
"Are you done?" Xu Wuyan interrupted him with an indifferent look:
"Xu Changlong, you killed so many of my brothers. Why do you think you can still live?"
Xu Changlong saw the murderous intent in Xu Wuyan's eyes, and he got up from the ground wailing and ran towards the darkness ahead.
"Woo woo, don't kill me, I don't want to die!"
"Don't kill me!"
…
Xu Wuyan stood where he was and did not chase after him, but there was a hint of mockery on his face.
Xu Changlong ran away and saw that Xu Wuyan did not come to chase him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Is he going to let me go?
No matter whether it is true or not, as long as he runs back to the city, he will be completely safe.
Immersed in the thought of escaping, he didn't notice Xu Yan rushing towards him from the right with a knife.
By the time he realized it, it was too late. The knife in Xu Yan's hand had already chopped towards his neck.
Puff!
As blood spurted out, Xu Changlong's head separated from his neck and fell to the ground. After landing, it rolled for a distance before stopping.
And there was still a smile on his face as if he had survived a disaster.
His head was chopped off when he was at the most excited. He didn't even have time to change his expression before it was chopped off.
Bang!
Xu Changlong's body fell to the ground, and blood quickly dyed the ground red.
Soon, Xu Yan walked towards Xu Wuyan carrying Xu Changlong's head, and then said respectfully:
"Master!"
Xu Yan, a member of the Xu family, was the first member of the Xu family to arrive.
The reason why he wanted to take Xu Changlong's head was because he wanted to use Xu Changlong's head to commemorate his dead brother.
Xu Wuyan nodded. He glanced at the head in Xu Yan's hand, then looked towards the city gate.
"Have you made arrangements at the city gate?"
"Yes." Xu Yan nodded, "The brothers have already ambushed nearby, waiting for the young master to come over.
In addition, someone from Baixin Pavilion contacted me.
They said their leader had ordered them to help us."
Xu Wuyan snorted lightly, "Let's go, it's almost time."
Huangfu Cheng has evil intentions. Don't think you don't know what he is planning.
He just wanted to please me and make me agree to marry Xiaoyu to him. It was wishful thinking.
Is he the kind of man who would sell out his sister?
Shortly after Xu Wuyan left, King Heng's men also tracked him here.
Looking at the beheaded body of Xu Changlong, the leader's face looked very ugly.
They fell into a trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
When they saw the man in black approaching Xu Changlong's room, they all thought it was Xu Wuyan, so they attacked together, but were led away by the other party.
After chasing him out, they found that they had fallen into a trap. When they rushed back, Xu Changlong had already been taken away.
The leader did not stay here for long, and did not even intend to collect Xu Changlong's body. He just took his men and left quickly.
Xu Wuyan appeared.
Soon, the news reached King Heng.
At this time, Prince Heng had just fallen asleep.
After hearing that Xu Wuyan had appeared and killed Xu Changlong, a sinister smile appeared on King Heng's face.
"Let's go and see what's in my jar."
After saying that, he prepared to lead his men towards the city gate.
But his confidant reached out to stop him, shaking his head in disapproval, "Master, you can't show up. Swords leave no marks on the battlefield. What if something happens to you?"
Prince Heng glanced at him and asked, "Why? Do you think our people are no match for Xu Wuyan?"
The confidant lowered his head, “Master, that’s not what I meant.
I'm just worried that this might be a trap?
After all, Prince Xu was not in a hurry to save people, but instead went to kill the traitor first, which alarmed us.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like the other party is setting a trap against you."
King Heng sneered and shook his head.
"Do you think Xu Wuyan is the only smart person in the world?" King Heng's eyes showed a hint of mockery and calculation:
"He wants to plot against me, but am I not also plotting against him?
Honestly, if he's too stupid to work with me.
Don't worry, I'm just going to the city wall to see how miserable he is. I won't put myself in danger. Let's go!"
After saying that, King Heng strode outside.
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He was looking forward to what expression Xu Wuyan would have when he found out that the person he had rescued with so much difficulty was not the one he wanted to save.
The confidant who fell behind frowned.
He always felt that things were not that simple, but the master...
never mind!
He shook his head and followed him out, but called out to more people to follow him.
