Chapter 127 Remnants of the Former Dynasty
Su Jinze was left to recuperate in a side hall of Zhengyang Palace.
Firstly, she feared he might leak information; secondly, the Empress distrusted the palace guards and wanted him to stay and protect His Majesty in case of emergency.
He could faintly hear his arrogant voice yelling for someone to kill her while he was in his room. Upon inquiring, he learned that the Empress had had his sister brought into the palace the previous night.
He followed the sound and saw a man dressed as a eunuch trying to strangle his sister. Although the man was startled by the thunder and stopped for a moment, he still disliked the man's hands.
Let's just cut it down!
"Chiu Chiu doesn't like the head of the Turkic general, but does this assassin like the hand?"
Chirp: "!!!"
"If you don't want this claw, I can chop it off for you. Since you tried to hurt my sister, you might as well leave this hand as an apology!"
Chirping Sadness: [Just what kind of body part enthusiast is this guy?!]
Why doesn't he just like people's heads or hands? Does this kind of psychopath need psychological counseling?
Princess Fu Ning glanced thoughtfully at Su Jinze, whose steps were faltering and whose momentum had greatly diminished, and then patted Qiu Qiu's back sympathetically.
"Hey dog!" My brother is normal, you can have him!
Chirp: [What kind of dog?]
Su Jinze was so angry that his face turned ashen. He thought that after calling him a psychopath, his sister had also called him a dog. He became even more aggressive and vented all his resentment on Bai Wujin.
Su Jinze's moves were ruthless, but Bai Wujin was no pushover either. The two exchanged blows and fought to a standstill.
Chiu Chiu gave Princess Funing a push, and after communicating in infant language, Princess Funing immediately crawled back to get help.
Chiu Chiu declared that she would use her powerful koi fish aura to protect her older brother!
[Left hook, right hook, big brother kicks him in the groin!]
Su Jinze was distracted and almost got stabbed by Bai Wujin. What kind of outrageous things is this brat spouting? Who taught him such nonsense?!
He was furious and wanted to beat the bastard who had corrupted his sister. However, his body betrayed his mind; facing Bai Wujin's killing move, he kicked him in the groin instead...
Bai Wujin never expected that Su Jinze, this young master, would use such a low-class trick. He felt a sharp pain in his lower body, and his face contorted in pain.
The man's dignity was challenged, and Bai Wujin swung his sword wildly, shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"
Having roamed the battlefield for two years, this was the first time Su Jinze had felt apologetic towards an enemy. However, the fight had no effect whatsoever; in fact, when Bai Wujin became hesitant after being injured in a certain indescribable place, Su Jinze pierced through Bai's sword-wielding hand with his own.
Chirp chirped a sigh: [First castrated, then crippled—the retribution for harming the little koi is coming!]
Su Jinze knocked Bai Wujin down, his sword held to Bai's neck: "You lost."
Bai Wujin's eyes were bloodshot, whether from anger or pain, he stared at the brother and sister in front of him as if he wanted to crush them.
"You two better not fall into my hands one day, or I will definitely skin you alive! And you, Su Jinze, before I skin you alive, I will castrate you first!"
"[You pickled him?]" Chuchu asked, confused. "[Why pickle my brother but not me?]"
Is it now fashionable to pickle living people instead of salted fish?
【It’s not fair! 】
Su Jinze glared at the puffed-up Qiuqiu, "Shut up!"
Bai Wujin: "You!"
"Who are you? Did you plan the assassination last night?" Su Jinze asked as he tied the man up.
Bai Wujin turned his head to the side, his tone extremely defiant: "I won't say anything! Now that I'm in your hands, do with me as you please... do with your mother's as you please!"
Su Jinze peeked out from behind him and tightened the rope again. "You're getting angry and you're starting to curse. My sister is still young. You can't set a bad example for her."
"Ha, that's exactly what I'm cursing!"
Su Jinze slapped Bai Wujin across the face before looking at his wronged sister.
"Chirp chirp, what are you holding in your hand?!"
Chiu Chiu had somehow climbed up from under the eaves to Bai Wujin's side, waving around a piece of something that looked like pigskin.
Feeling guilty, Qiuqiu loosened her grip, and the human skin mask fell to the ground.
[Just a little bit~]
She obediently sat still, trying to hide her behavior, looking up at the sky and down but not at her older brother. [I didn't do it on purpose. I just thought his face was all wrinkled. It's such a pity he's so ugly.]
Bai Wujin's face was so ordinary before that he would be subconsciously ignored in a crowd, but now his face is much more refined, except for a tattoo on his left cheek.
Because of the passage of time, it was no longer clear what was originally tattooed, but Su Jinze could still recognize who it was by the outline.
"You are a remnant of the previous dynasty's royal family!"
Bai Wujin laughed heartily: "Remnants of the previous dynasty?"
"The Zhou family has rebelled, killed my clansmen, and destroyed my country. You Yun and Su families have aided and abetted this tyranny! The descendants of this traitor even dare to call me a remnant of the previous dynasty!"
"So it was you who poisoned His Majesty!" The practice of witchcraft and sorcery was prevalent in the previous dynasty, which explains the poison in His Majesty's body.
“I had already poisoned that scoundrel Zhou with Gu poison. Yesterday’s assassination attempt was indeed to take his life. Even if the assassination failed, it would force him to become so angry that he would activate the Gu within his body.”
"Even though I'm dead, that scoundrel won't live either. One for one, it's worth it! Hahaha!"
What is he laughing at? Fu Ning has six older brothers and one older sister. Can't they just choose another emperor after he's gone?
Their Koi Clan Chief can be re-elected after retirement!
She'll run for clan leader someday!
If no one is willing to be the emperor, she can take over and practice!
Fortunately, this wasn't what he truly felt, otherwise Su Jinze would have knelt down and begged her on behalf of his entire family. Su Jinze mocked the foolishness of the remnants of the previous dynasty: "His Majesty is blessed with boundless good fortune, protected by Heaven, and the Crown Prince is both learned and skilled in martial arts. Your wishful thinking is likely to fall through."
Bai Wujin: "What if the Turks launch another surprise attack while the country is in mourning? You have already received the surrender document, so I'm afraid the border defenses won't be as tight!"
One thing leads to another; this time, he will make the Great Zhou pay the price!
Su Jinze didn't take Bai Wujin's threat seriously. This fool was still living in the past dynasty; the current country belonged to the Zhou, with a strong and well-equipped army, and its soldiers were determined to defend the land. They would never give the Turks a chance to retaliate!
"If that's really the case, I, Su, will take up my spear and charge straight into the Turkic court!" He originally wanted to say he would take the head of the Turkic Khan, but he was afraid his sister would think he was a psychopath, so he changed his words.
Bai Wujin looked indifferent. In his eyes, Emperor Jingming was already doomed. Let Su Jinze keep his stubbornness for a while!
But he didn't expect the little orange cat to return and throw a mother Gu at him.
The dark little bug was thrown onto Bai Wujin's face and fell to the ground. Before it could take off, it was caught by the little fat orange's paw.
It looked at Chirp Chirp, trying to show off its success: "Meow~"
It's even better than the fat baby fish!
Those cats are the best!
Chiu Chiu gives a thumbs up: 【Great!】
Bai Wujin collapsed, writhing in impotent rage: "Where did you get this mother Gu from?"
"Impossible! Impossible! This can't be real! I don't believe it!"
Su Jinze raised his foot and kicked out: "Shut up!"
