Chapter 25 Chasing Han Zhi
It was under such circumstances that Jiang Mo came in to report to Chi Changyuan.
He had experienced so many things in these few short months. At the beginning, he was happy that Han Zhi had really become the Crown Princess, but in the end, he was shocked that Han Zhi had stabbed Leng Xiangyu.
Until Han Zhi actually broke free of his chains and escaped to the top of Taiqing Palace to steal the Condensation Water Technique without anyone noticing...
He handed the note left by Han Zhi to Chi Changyuan: "I don't know where he is, he just left this."
The note clearly stated that he stole the Water Condensation Technique because he hated Chi Changyuan, and also mocked Chi Changyuan for being soft-hearted and sparing his life.
Chi Changyuan looked at the handwriting on the note and didn't speak for a long time.
"Nan Chao Wenyan helped him get out."
He did not doubt the truth of the matter. Apart from him and his father, only Han Zhi knew where the Water Condensation Technique was. Even apart from him and his father, only Han Zhi could enter the water brick.
He closed his eyes, turned around, knelt down, and confessed his sin to the water god: "Father, it is my fault for not judging people well that I have caused such a disaster today."
"Alright, alright, what's the big deal? How can it be so exaggerated?" The Water God never liked his son's rigid attitude. His son should be able to act recklessly and domineeringly. Why should he learn to be so obedient?
"It's just a spell I compiled casually. If that old guy Nan Chao Wen Yan wants it, just give it to him." He really didn't think it was a big deal. In the past, Nan Chao Wen Yan loved to challenge him to a competition to see whose newly created spell was more powerful. It was not until he created the Water Condensation Technique that he gave up wholeheartedly.
"Originally, if he had asked me for it, I would have given it to him, but he was so sure I wouldn't tell him the truth that he kept trying to steal it." The Water God waved his hand and said, "Let him take it. I'll just write another copy and put it in there."
He patted Chi Changyuan on the shoulder and comforted him: "How can you be blamed for this? But if you really feel guilty, cancel the engagement with Leng Xiangyu immediately."
Chi Changyuan: ...
His father's comfort made him feel much better, but he couldn't help but worry about Han Zhidang's betrayal.
As soon as they left the palace, Chi Changyuan gave the order:
"Pass the order down, search for Han Zhi with all your might... and capture him alive!"
He will let Han Zhi know what the consequences of betraying him are.
Han Zhi didn't know what happened in the hall. After handing the brocade box to Nan Chao Wenyan, he fled in another direction.
He forcibly mobilized the weak spiritual power in his body, making it feel like it was about to be dismembered at any time, and every step he took was as painful as a knife.
Fortunately, Han Zhi has always been able to endure it. After a while, he got used to the pain every time he walked or jumped.
But this also made him realize one thing, that the golden light given to him by the Earth God might not be able to save him from death.
At this moment, he felt that death was extremely close to him.
He came to the outside of the Chaoxi tribe. In fact, he gave a name to this space he created with his own hands, called Chaoxi Temple.
After biting his finger again, Han Zhi drew a talisman outside the hall. A golden spell rose from the ground. As long as the people inside did not come out, the people outside could not get in. But this time, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and vomited a mouthful of blood.
It seems that he has indeed reached the end of his life.
He did not go in. The Wanling Orchid has pink stamens and blue and white petals, which means eternal happiness to the Chaoxi tribe.
The Wanling Orchid should have bloomed by now. Such a beautiful flower had accompanied him through countless difficult nights, but now he didn't dare to go in and take a look. He couldn't even wait until the day when the Chaoxi Temple was completely built.
Two men in black robes with narrow sleeves and round collars and gold trim walked up behind him and knelt on one knee in front of him: "Greetings, Master."
Han Zhi slowly turned around. He was wearing a bronze mask on his face to hide the whip marks left by Chi Changyuan. Fortunately, these two people were his confidants and could recognize him even by the voice.
"Thirteen, Sixteen, I have one last thing to give you." His voice was so light and faint, as if it would drift away in the next second. Thirteen and Sixteen looked at him worriedly, but in the end they didn't dare to say anything.
The head of the Thirty-Six Departments has always been synonymous with coldness and power. He does not need anyone to care about him, nor does he need anyone to question him.
And they are the only two who were brought into the Thirty-Six Departments by the Chief himself. Rather than being loyal to His Majesty's orders, they are loyal to the Chief himself.
It was precisely because of this that Han Zhi felt confident in entrusting the task of protecting the Chaoxi tribe to them.
"yes!"
When Thirteen and Sixteen heard Han Zhi asking them to protect the Chaoxi Clan even if His Majesty wanted to eliminate them, they did not question it. They obeyed Han Zhi's orders as always, no matter the reason.
"If you can't defend it, then save yourself."
These were the children he had rescued personally. How could he possibly let them die for him?
"Yes." It was the same decisive answer.
Han Zhi sighed and turned to leave.
"Master." Sixteen's voice suddenly came from behind him. Han Zhi turned around, and the boy's childish face seemed to have mustered up courage. He asked: "When will you return to the Thirty-Sixth Division?"
…
"Sixteen!" Thirteen gave him a reproachful look and clasped his fists in apology: "Master, Sixteen just missed you too much. Please don't blame him."
Sixteen knew nothing, but he vaguely felt that the Chief did not seem to like the Kingdom of Jin, nor did he like the Thirty-Six Departments.
Several times he went to see Sizhu, and he smelled a faint smell of blood on Sizhu. Sizhu said that it was left from the interrogation of the prisoners, but he had eyes and could see Sizhu's pale face clearly.
"Yeah." Han Zhi responded, but still couldn't bear to tell them the truth.
Now that he's dead, Fenjin should arrange a new leader for them.
Who could it be? The first grade?
Chuyi only obeys Fenjin's orders and is often dissatisfied with him. If he comes to power, Shisan and Shiliu will inevitably be marginalized.
After thinking for a while, he took out the Thirty-Sixth Commander and handed it to Thirteen.
"While I'm away, you will take charge of the Thirty-Six Departments. Don't let anyone bully you and your brother."
After finally arranging his funeral, Han Zhi returned to the cave where he had temporarily found a place to rest in Linxu Kingdom.
The flames illuminated his cheeks, bringing a rare warmth in the darkness.
After coughing up blood again, Han Zhi touched his scarred face and saw wrinkles appearing on it.
The secret technique is consumed too quickly, and soon this body will completely collapse and dissipate between heaven and earth.
But he didn't want to die quietly like this.
He endured it again and again, and ended up in this state today. The light was just one step away from falling on him, but it was taken away.
He knew that Chi Changyuan was chasing him, but as long as he didn't want to, how could a mere guard catch him?
But he didn't want to fight with Chi Changyuan's men. If he couldn't control himself and killed someone, Chi Changyuan would hate him again.
The streets and alleys of Hanxu Kingdom were filled with joy. The people did not know what had happened between the gods, they only knew that their beloved prince was getting married.
