Xi Wujue looked at Ouyang Fu, who was full of anticipation, and sneered:
"Your emperor doesn't think highly of you."
Ouyang Fu's handsome face darkened; he had only recently learned of the situation.
"Actually, if I were you, why don't you go back and try to become the emperor yourself?"
"After all, look at what you've done as the Crown Prince. Although you've been doing this for so many years,..."
"What a failure. In the blink of an eye, the person was crippled."
"Given what's happened now, do you think the Emperor still trusts you?"
These words left Ouyang Fu speechless.
He lowered his head, wondering what he could do now that he was trapped here.
"I could agree to your previous conditions, but after helping you so much, don't you think your demands are too modest?"
These words stunned Ouyang Fu. He had already ceded several cities; what else did Xi Wujue intend to do?
Just as he was about to ask a question, footsteps sounded outside. Ouyang Fu felt a sharp pain all over his body. Was he about to be whipped again?
"Heh, I thought they could hold out for much longer?"
Xi Wujue also heard the sound. He curled his lip in disdain. It seemed that the emperor over there really treated Ouyang Zhen well. He couldn't even last a day.
How was this message delivered at this point?
Why so fast?
No, wait a minute, he'll have to find out more. We can't waste such a good communication tool.
"Oh, you mean?"
Ouyang Fu thought he was going to get beaten up, but he didn't expect...
Has Xu Liang given up?
Heh, so fast? However, he needs to find a way; he can't give Ouyang Zhen the antidote so easily.
Ouyang Fu's eyes were dark; he would ask Xi Wujue about it later.
There seemed to be quite a few footsteps, indicating that it wasn't just two or three people.
Xi Wujue remained calm, but a hint of undisguised sarcasm played on his lips.
I can't believe he couldn't hold on so quickly. Sigh, Xu Liang is still no good. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't hold on, he should have persevered a little longer.
If we compromise now, we'll be handing them a weapon.
Isn't Xu Liang afraid that he'll ask for an exorbitant amount?
Xi Wujue is now extremely confident, mainly because he holds absolute initiative.
If the other party wants Ouyang Zhen to live, they must listen to them.
The two people remained calm, their eyes gazing indifferently at the doorway, when finally they heard the door open.
Judging from the footsteps, there are quite a few people.
"Why are so many people here? Is Ouyang Zhen going to die?"
Ouyang Fu snorted coldly, his expression arrogant.
So what if he went to the Western Kingdom? His father had no other sons, and in the end, didn't he obediently hand over the throne to him?
"There should still be some air in it."
Xi Wujue chuckled. He would repay Xu Liang and the others a thousandfold for how they had treated him these past few days once he was free.
"Xu Liang, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly!"
Seeing that the person walking in front was indeed Xu Liang, Xi Wujue was overjoyed and felt much more at ease.
"Have you thought it all through? Will you agree to all my requests?"
Xu Liang reached out his hand, and Xi Wujue, thinking that he was going to come over and help him untie himself, proudly raised his head, looking superior.
Ouyang Fu stood to the side, his expression arrogant, his gaze towards Xu Liang filled with undisguised ruthlessness.
"Xu Liang, you'd better keep your eyes wide open from now on!"
"Ha ha……"
Ouyang Fu laughed heartily, realizing he hadn't made a mistake this time.
Hmph, if the Emperor doesn't respect her, she'll rebel against her father and cooperate with the Western Kingdom. Once she sits on that throne, who will dare to say a bad word about her?
A snap—that was the sound of a whip striking flesh.
Ouyang Fu stared wide-eyed at Xu Liang in disbelief.
"ah……"
Xi Wujue screamed in pain, never expecting that the first thing Xu Liang did upon entering was to grab a whip and lash him.
"Xu Liang, are you out of your mind? Don't you care whether your Crown Prince lives or dies?"
Xi Wujue questioned loudly, but Xu Liang responded by whipping him even harder.
"You, Xu Liang, are you plotting a rebellion?"
Xi Wujue was in even more pain now; Xu Liang was really strong.
"If I don't beat you, who should I beat? Damn it, I've already locked you up, and your father is still up to no good!"
Xu Liang muttered to himself as he lashed out with the whip. In no time, Xi Wujue was covered in blood.
Because a lot of force was used, and the whip had barbs, almost every lash drew blood.
Xi Wu screamed in agony, no longer in the mood to question Xu Liang.
Ouyang Fu stood to the side, shrugging his neck, not daring to utter a single word.
What is Xu Liang trying to do? Is he really planning a rebellion? Or has the Emperor already given up on Ouyang Zhen?
Ouyang Fu's eyes darted around. Fortunately, Xu Liang didn't lay a hand on him.
Does that mean that what he was thinking just now was true? Even if his emperor father hates him and is very angry, he would never kill him.
Hmph, without Ouyang Zhen, he is the only one who can inherit the throne.
Ouyang Fu was secretly pleased with himself, and at this moment he didn't dare to say a word more. He now knew Xu Liang; he was a madman.
If you upset him, he might attack you directly, and you can't say anything about it.
Xu Liang stabbed Xi Wujue for almost half an hour until he passed out, his body covered in blood as if he had been pulled from a pool of water. Only then did he stop, cursing angrily, "You piece of trash, I'll beat you to death!"
"General, don't act rashly!"
Those who came in with him were startled upon hearing this. One of them hurriedly stepped forward and advised, "Although the crown prince of Xishu Kingdom is indeed a scoundrel, we can't kill him. At least leave him alive, so that the old emperor over there won't cause any trouble."
Xi Wujue, who had just been doused with ice water and finally woke up, heard these words and was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, his head lolled to the side and he fainted again.
"Could he really be dead?"
The person who had just spoken changed his expression drastically. The crown prince of Xishu Kingdom was not in good health. Their general hadn't even had a chance to exert himself. He had only been hit a few times, and the man had fainted so easily.
If Xi Wujue knew what this person was thinking, he'd probably faint from anger again. Was he knocked unconscious? He was clearly driven to his death by anger.
"Splash again!" Xu Liang glanced at Xi Wujue indifferently and gave the order in a cold voice.
That's how straightforward it was. This guy was incredibly healthy; he used to be more energetic than anyone else, and with all the good things being taken care of in the palace, how could he possibly die so easily?
Upon hearing the general's words, the person holding the ice water did not hesitate and scooped up another large ladle, pouring it over Xi Wujue's head.
Ouyang Fu was stunned by the barbaric actions of these people.
At this moment, he became even more certain that this must have been the work of his good father, the emperor.
Ouyang Fu was secretly pleased with himself. After all, he was the emperor's favored crown prince. So how was he going to explain his trip to the enemy country?
