Chapter 49 Prove it to you

When Zhou Huaiyan regained consciousness, Ah Fei had already helped him pack up everything. Hongdou was also beside him.

Huo Xiao led his men to guard outside. Those who came were all Duke Wei's confidants. The entire summer resort was under their control.

However, Zhou Huaiyan still had some impression of what had happened just now. However, time was running out, so he could only focus on the most important thing at the moment.

"Half an hour ago, the Third Prince led his men to force his way into the palace. The Duke learned that his master had fallen into Jian Kong's hands and had no choice but to be trapped in the mansion."

There was no need for the young man to say more. Ah Fei had already introduced the current situation as quickly as possible. He first asked the butler He Jin to find the mark left by Hongdou.

He took the Duke of Wei's Sky-Breaking Halberd to mobilize troops, and with the combination of the two, he finally mobilized the iron cavalry and found the young man's whereabouts in the shortest time.

"A Fei borrowed the Sky-breaking Halberd to mobilize 6,000 soldiers, 3,000 of which were sent to rescue His Highness, and the other 3,000 were sent to the capital. Just now, fireworks were sent as orders, and when the Duke learned that his master was safe, he immediately led his troops to attack the imperial city."

Zhou Huaiyan opened his eyes, frowned, and quickly grasped the key words.

"Invading the Imperial City...why not rescuing the driver?"

Ah Fei was silent for a moment, then took out the secret letter that the Duke had placed in the box.

"When I broke into the study, I quickly glanced at the master's name written in blood, so I stole it out in a heinous act."

Ah Fei had naturally read the letter, but he had never expected that the boy's biological mother, Jiang Min, the only legendary female general in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the high and mighty imperial concubine, was actually killed by the Emperor of Zhou himself.

——On the day she gave birth to her child.

When Ah Fei first heard the maid talk about the origin of Min'an Pavilion, she had already deeply felt the love that the Duke had for his younger sister. Even after Jiang Min passed away, he still protected her child as if he were his own flesh and blood.

Now that he knows the truth about Jiang Min's death, Duke Wei will be so angry that he will kill the king.

Zhou Huaiyan finished scanning the letter at a glance, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, almost wanting to crush the letter paper.

"A Fei, I order you to lead your troops back to the palace to rescue the emperor as quickly as possible."

"Rescue driver?"

Ah Fei was slightly stunned. The third prince usurped the throne and killed the emperor. It just so happened that the Duke killed the third prince and supported Zhou Huaiyan to succeed to the throne. Isn't that perfect?

Although he thought so in his heart, the kitten still did not say it out loud, but just said,

"The Duke is here, so the few thousand scattered soldiers of the Third Prince are not a threat."

Indeed, the soldiers of the Duke of Wei were all soldiers from the battlefield, and each of them was able to fight ten to one, and they were extremely brave. When facing the group of temporary remnants of the Third Prince, they were basically crushed.

However, Zhou Huaiyan suddenly looked up at him, his eyes dark and solemn, and his hoarse voice seemed to contain blood.

"Who said I asked you to go to stop the Third Prince?"

"That is..."

Ah Fei was shocked.

At this moment, there are only the Duke and the Third Prince in the palace. If it’s not the latter, then wouldn’t it be... ?

Zhou Huaiyan remained silent and did not refute his guess.

Emperor Zhou was suspicious by nature and would not place all his hopes on Duke Wei. Since he already knew that the Queen and Jian Kong had an old relationship, he naturally expected that the Queen would tell Duke Wei the truth about Jiang Min's death.

The emperor's mind is as deep as the abyss, and he must have a backup plan.

Zhou Huaiyan guessed that the emperor had a backup plan. He originally thought that it was targeting the third prince, but he did not guess that the queen actually knew the truth about Jiang Min's death and told it to her uncle.

This was completely beyond Zhou Huaiyan's expectations. If this was the case, he would have to reconsider the emperor's backup plan and intentions.

Time was too tight, and the boy could not immediately figure out the emperor's murder trap. He only knew that if his uncle really committed regicide, he would be dead and would have no chance of survival.

He closed his eyes, his voice was harsh,

"Hongdou, bring me my forbidden dagger."

"yes."

The eldest palace maid took out the forbidden dagger and placed her hands in the young man's palms.

Zhou Huaiyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes to look at Ah Fei.

"There is no time to explain now. Just lead the troops to rescue him and pretend to have received the emperor's secret order. You must protect the emperor. It would be best if you can stop my uncle in front of the Xuanzheng Hall. If you can't stop him, find a way to secretly show him the forbidden dagger and say it was my intention."

Zhou Huaiyan emphasized again

"Be careful, you must give it to him quietly, and only to him."

Ah Fei stared at Zhou Huaiyan in a daze. He had never seen a young man with such solemn and sad eyes.

"Just tell him..."

"There is a road of death ahead. Huai Yan begs you not to become a knife in the hands of others. Huai Yan has lost his mother, and he cannot be without his uncle again."

"......"

Ah Fei looked at him deeply and put the forbidden dagger in her arms.

"good."

He didn't ask why anymore. He just stood up, picked up the Sky-Breaking Halberd and strode out.

The young man from the foreign race was dressed in black and blood-stained clothes, with a straight back. When he stepped out with a long spear in his hand, he exuded an aura of loneliness that was difficult to break.

Zhou Huaiyan sat on the couch, staring at his back in a daze, his eyes suddenly dazed for a moment.

"......"

He seemed to have never noticed how the skinny and humble kitten had grown to this size.

At one point, Zhou Huaiyan even saw the shadow of his uncle in him.

It is not the Duke of Wei who is now old, but the iron-blooded general who single-handedly swept through all the thousands of troops and horses in the past.

In the battle in the north, hundreds of thousands of foreign troops were wiped out, and the previous generation of foreign king was beheaded by the Duke of Wei himself on the battlefield.

Since then, the name Jiang Yi has made countless foreigners tremble with fear.

But now, my uncle is old. As early as when Duke Wei just returned to Beijing, Zhou Huaiyan found him drinking medicine. He was not sick, but had countless hidden injuries left by a lifetime of military service, which could not be cured by medicine.

Now, the emperor, the foreign king Qu Pingye, and his adopted son Qi Shoubang all want his life.

"Oh......"

The young man sneered and lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes hid the dark and murderous aura in his eyes.

But Jiang Yi's life is Zhou Huaiyan's life.

Anyone who dares to move will have to step over his body!

"Your Highness..."

Hongdou looked extremely worried. She moved closer and gently stroked the boy's back, conveying a sense of comfort.

She followed Li Zhaoyun all the way to the summer resort today, hiding in the dark, waiting from morning till dark, but still no reinforcements arrived. Hongdou knew that something had happened to the guards she had sent.

But she couldn't leave, because if she left and the other party moved His Highness, no one would be able to find his exact location.

Fortunately, Ah Fei came, not only bringing the Duke of Wei's Sky-Breaking Halberd, but also bringing three thousand Northern Iron Cavalry.

Until today, the eldest palace maid finally accepted Ah Fei's existence. She no longer regarded him as a plaything kept by the prince, but as someone like herself.

——The most trusted person around His Highness.

However, at this moment, she heard Zhou Huaiyan suddenly ask,

"Have all the bodies in this house been dealt with?"

His voice was so cold that even Hongdou was stunned for a moment.

"It was handled, but it was General Huo Xiao who handled it."

As soon as she arrived, she stayed by Zhou Huaiyan's side, so she had no time to deal with the body.

However, Hongdou soon figured out the boy's intention in asking this question.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The wounds have been covered up and no one has seen them."

However, Zhou Huaiyan looked at her and asked,

"Did Ah Fei see it?"

Ah Fei was the first one to come in, so naturally...

“——I saw it.”

The maid suddenly felt a little uneasy. She took out the pistol hidden in her arms and handed it to the boy.

"His Highness was unconscious at the time, and he was still holding this tightly in his hand. He..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Huaiyan understood what Hongdou meant. He slowly closed his eyes and exhaled a foul breath.

[Not only the wound, but also the gunshot...]

The boy checked the gun and found that all eight bullets were used up. Fortunately, including Li Zhaoyun, there were exactly eight people guarding outside.

Otherwise...

Zhou Huaiyan raised his eyes to look at his most trusted maid, and his tone suddenly became solemn and cold.

"Red beans,"

"yes!"

Hearing the master's tone, the maid immediately knelt down in front of him.

Zhou Huaiyan was silent for a few seconds before he spoke.

"Remember this: after tonight, Ah Fei is no longer one of ours."

“…?!”

Hongdou immediately raised her head in shock. In her opinion, he was able to borrow the Heaven-breaking Halberd of Duke Wei, bring three thousand Iron Cavalry to rescue his master, and even cure the parasite poison in the boy's body.

In addition, after nearly a year of observation, he can be considered the most trusted confidant.

【But why...? 】

Zhou Huaiyan casually played with the gun in his hand and asked,

"Why do you think he knows how to solve this most secretive and sinister snake from the alien snowfield?"

"......"

At this moment, something seemed to flash through her mind. The maid was shocked and a little surprised. However, she hesitated for a moment and asked,

"But Ah Fei is from a foreign race and grew up in a slave camp. The people she interacted with had complicated identities. It wouldn't be hard for her to find out about it by accident through someone."

Zhou Huaiyan glanced at her, his eyes seemed to be filled with frost.

"Why didn't he say it at first?"

At first, Zhou Huaiyan had the same idea as Hongdou. He always thought that Ah Fei grew up in a servant camp because he had the mark of a servant, had no signs of martial arts training, and was even poisoned and made mute.

Ah Fei had the most humble and filthy identity in the eyes of the world. Even the common people and servants of the Zhou Dynasty hated her so much that she had no chance to come into contact with the upper class nobles of the Zhou Dynasty.

That's why Zhou Huaiyan thought that the foreign king would not send such a spy into the capital. Therefore, he removed all doubts about Ah Fei.

At the beginning, Zhou Huaiyan's love for Ah Fei was just because of Cuicui, but later, his indulgence in love on New Year's Eve made this simple preference have something different.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Huaiyan had never tasted love in his previous life, neither mentally nor physically.

So in this life, the sudden appearance of someone like Ah Fei caused him to undergo such a terrible change.

The appearance of the young man from a different race completely met Zhou Huaiyan's aesthetic standards.

When the kitten first appeared in front of him, it looked so fragile, timid, and miserable, like an abused stray kitten, so pitiful that people couldn't help but feel pity for it.

From Zhou Huaiyan's perspective, Ah Fei was completely satisfied with him from the beginning, always worried about his gains and losses, and always appeared vulnerable and helpless in front of him, allowing herself to be bullied.

Zhou Huaiyan is not a soft-hearted person, but every time, he can't help but make an exception for Ah Fei.

Until finally, he dragged me into the abyss of desire and I fell into depravity.

——Do you treat Ah Fei as a pet like Cuicui?

Zhou Huaiyan asked himself this question, and then he thought, no one would want to kiss and cuddle with a pet.

Or is it just out of physical needs and pleasure?

It seems that it is not...

As the ninth prince, what kind of peerless beauty can he desire?

That......

——Is it love?

No.

Zhou Huaiyan almost immediately rejected this answer. He believed in reason and would never believe in such illusory things.

So in the end, he couldn't figure it out.

However, that day at the White Horse Temple, Zhou Huaiyan did something that even surprised himself.

He specially celebrated a birthday for one person.

It's past my birthday...

This was the first time he took action without any planning or purpose.

Under the dazzling fireworks, the moment Zhou Huaiyan was kissed by the other party, he suddenly had a terrible and absurd thought at that moment.

Perhaps his special feeling towards Ah Fei is...very close to love.

Therefore, Zhou Huaiyan would tell Ah Fei about his speculations, plans, and some of his... trump cards.

The boy even thought about how to give Ah Fei a new identity, an identity that was closer to her so that she could stay by his side.

But at this moment, all he had...

All the thoughts, all the preparations, became a joke.

This morning, Zhou Huaiyan found out that Ah Fei had been behaving strangely these days.

——He was delivering messages to the outside of the palace.

......It's very clear.

Ah Fei is a top spy trained by the alien king.

No wonder his uncle said he had an excellent constitution, no wonder he was so gifted, no wonder he only practiced the bow for two months but could defeat the Eighth Prince who had practiced hard for twenty years.

He even had supernatural powers, and he easily lifted the Sky-breaking Halberd weighing a hundred kilograms...

The dislocation at that time was probably caused by my own actions.

As for the fact that there are no signs of martial arts training on his body?

You see, if even a insect that can control the human brain can exist, how difficult is it to hide any traces of martial arts training on the body?

Thousands of doubts hidden in the darkness gradually gathered together, and finally twisted into an invisible thread.

String all things together, stretching far into the distance, gradually brightening up.

The bloody truth is right before our eyes.

Zhou Huaiyan felt as if he was hit on the head with a stick, and suddenly realized it in the severe pain.

Now that I think about it, there really are flaws everywhere.

How stupid was he at that time?

“What a great acting…”

Zhou Huaiyan covered his face and suddenly laughed out loud.

It turns out that even he was deceived.

Hongdou gradually understood, but she didn't figure out all the doubts like Zhou Huaiyan did. The only thing she knew was that Ah Fei was a spy sent by the king of the heterosexual Fengdu Jia clan.

The eldest palace maid was shocked and asked hurriedly,

"If that's the case, why did Your Highness give him the forbidden dagger?!"

Zhou Huaiyan lowered his eyes to look at her, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the messy hair of the eldest palace maid, and said softly,

"I have put so much thought into stabbing such a sharp knife into my heart. If I don't use it properly, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"......"

The maid of honor didn't understand her master's plan. She just gently held the boy's blood-stained wrist. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her trembling voice was tinged with obvious tears.

"Your Highness, you have suffered..."

Usually Hongdou would call His Highness, but this time she was overstepping the bounds.

Zhou Huaiyan just smiled at her and gently wiped the tears from the face of the palace maid.

"Yes, I've suffered and learned my lesson."

If you think about it carefully, it's because he is too willful, too conceited, and too self-indulgent.

Uncle and Hongdou were right. He shouldn't have kept Ah Fei in the first place.

Love and other things are indeed the biggest obstacle to career.

The young man stood up, straightened his disheveled clothes, and then walked out slowly.

His steps were a little unsteady, but his back was still straight, making him look very elegant and graceful.

Hongdou wiped her tears and hurried to catch up, but as soon as she stood up, she heard the boy sighing softly.

"I won't do this again..."

Zhou Huaiyan seemed to be talking to Hongdou, but it seemed more like he was talking to himself.

Since I have learned a great lesson this time, I will never forget it in the future, or even forever.

“I don’t know any more.”

......

At the same time, Ah Fei didn't know that all his secrets were exposed, and his most beloved boy completely excluded him from all areas.

A foreign youth dressed in black, riding a white horse, holding a halberd, was charging into the palace in a bloody battle.

The once magnificent and majestic palaces were now in chaos, with blood all over the ground, flames blazing into the sky, and the scene was a mess.

The palace maids and eunuchs were hiding or fleeing, palace maids and soldiers running around in panic could be seen everywhere, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the smell of blood was so strong that it made people nauseated.

Compared to the fear and panic she felt when she killed people in the training camp, Ah Fei was also reaping lives at this moment, but she didn't feel anything at all.

I could clearly feel the boiling blood on my hands, and I could also feel the blade cutting my skin.

But from beginning to end, he was indifferent to the point of numbness.

Ah Fei felt like she had really turned into a knife without emotions at this moment. Because she was sure that she was fighting for someone, so ultimately——

Feel confident!

In the end, Duke Wei captured the third prince, but was blocked by Ah Fei at the last step.

At this moment, it was already the hour of Mao, and it would be dawn in about an hour. The majestic and solemn Xuan Zheng Hall was still shrouded in darkness, swords and armor, and it looked ominous and overwhelming.

The moment Duke Wei learned the truth about his younger sister's death, he had already made up his mind to kill the king. Now that Zhou Huaiyan is out of harm's way, he no longer has to worry about the future!

The man's eyes were cold, his chest was shaking, and there was a deep murderous intent between his teeth.

"Get out of my way!"

This angry shout immediately caused the countless iron cavalry soldiers behind Ah Fei to begin to move hesitantly.

After all, they had come to the rescue because they saw Ah Fei holding the Duke of Wei's Sky-Breaking Halberd. But now they saw the alien and the Duke of Wei in such a fierce confrontation, so they naturally became suspicious.

However, Ah Fei stood still, showing no fear at all. His face was calm, and in the night, his cyan eyes were eerie, like a ferocious beast that had awakened.

"I am here on command of His Majesty. No one can enter Xuanzheng Hall without His Majesty's order!"

"Your Majesty's order...?"

Duke Wei was shocked.

——When did Ah Fei become the emperor's woman? !

He thought that it might be a show ordered by Huai Yan, but no matter how it was done, the young man should not send someone to point the spearhead at him.

After all, the Third Prince had initiated a coup before, so even if he committed regicide, he could pin the blame on the Third Prince, and then push Zhou Huaiyan to the throne.

This plan seems almost perfect, and Duke Wei knows that Zhou Huaiyan has no feelings for Emperor Zhou, so how could he stop him now?

If this is the case, Ah Fei can only be a hidden chess piece planted by the emperor, who was only revealed at this moment.

Comparing the two, Duke Wei chose the latter. Fortunately, Huo Xiao sent a fireworks signal, and he could now confirm that Huai Yan was safe.

Now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be shot.

Duke Wei drew out his long sword, his tiger eyes filled with murderous intent, and pointed the cold blade directly at the alien boy.

"Someone, come here! Capture this rebellious slave for me!!!"

As soon as the order was issued, countless cavalry soldiers immediately carried it out without hesitation. Even the soldiers who had originally stood behind Ah Fei and obeyed his orders, now all defected to the side of Duke Wei.

The air suddenly turned cold and sticky, and in the darkness there was the sound of armor colliding!

The Iron Cavalry of the North only obeys the orders of one person!

"Kill—"

Facing the surging waves of iron knight sword light, Ah Fei drew his sword and stood still, his expression silent.

But in the depths of those cyan eyes, there was clearly a surge of an extremely obsessive and dangerous obsession.

[Then, what kind of wife does the master want? ]

[Of course, it takes someone who can kill three times in and three times in a chaotic battle and has superb martial arts skills. ]

Even at this moment, he recalled the conversation he had with Zhou Huaiyan. Then, the alien boy came to the same conclusion in his heart -

[If this is all you want...]

[A Fei is also OK. 】

His black hair fluttered, his emerald eyes turned into ice, and then he raised the halberd in his hand and pointed it directly at the rebel army.

【Now, I will prove it to you. 】

The author has something to say:

Come to Nan Feng Du Jia, Ah Fei's career line!!!
