Chapter 41: Everyone has their own ulterior motives!



Who knew that after watching him for a while, they found out that Chen Xuan was indeed a waste who was unable to practice.

Moreover, he is cowardly and can be bullied by anyone, and he doesn't seem to be very smart.

At first, everyone thought that Chen Xuan was pretending to be like this to protect himself.

But I didn't expect that Chen Xuan has been a waste for twenty years.

Therefore, everyone believed that he was a waste, even the people from the Chen family believed it.

But no one expected that after Chen Xuan was framed for theft and exiled to the frontier, he began to emerge.

"This boy is so patient, he will become a great man in the future. Even if he cannot reach the achievements of his father, he will definitely not be unknown. I wonder if I am right or wrong to place Liu Jinyu next to him?"

Qin Zhen murmured to himself, his eyes revealing depth.

At the same time, Chunfeng Tower in Beijing is the largest brothel in Beijing.

In the private room.

"This damn bastard actually walked out of Bandit Mountain safely? Humph, even if you succeed in reaching the border, so what? Do you still want to have a branch there? You're just dreaming!"

Chen Tian put his arm around a slim woman, his palm wandering restlessly on her smooth and delicate skin.

With the other hand he held the wine glass and drank silently.

However, as he drank, he suddenly sneered, "Over the years, the Chen family in the border areas have long been alienated from the Chen family in the capital!"

"The Chen family in the capital has always wanted to control the Chen family in the border areas. In fact, they no longer listen to the clan leader and only follow orders!"

"Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, do you think you can be safe in the border areas? In recent years, how many of the clansmen who went to the border areas from the capital have come back alive? In addition, I wrote a letter to you to add fuel to the fire. There are many people who want to kill you without me doing anything!"

As he said this, he took another big gulp of wine. His eyes became a little vague, as if he had seen the moment when Chen Xuan's head and body were separated. Then he started laughing like crazy.

"The only pity is that I can't kill you with my own hands. I can't get that little bitch An Ruxue either. She has a body of ice and jade. If I had her, I would be able to break through to the martial artist level in less than a year. Damn Chen Xuan, you ruined my good fortune!"

Sima Mansion.

At this time, Sima Tengfei, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was reading a royal file in his study.

Boom boom boom——

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Sima Tengfei is a middle-aged man with a square face, a goatee, and an extraordinary demeanor.

With a creak, the door was pushed open and Sima Xiba walked in.

"Father, I got the latest news. The Chen Xuan you're concerned about has already walked out of Bandit Mountain."

Sima Xiba told Sima Tengfei all the news he knew.

"Haha, after hiding it for so many years, it finally can't be hidden anymore."

Sima Tengfei laughed immediately.

Seeing this, Sima Xiba couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and couldn't help asking: "Father, don't you want him to die? Why are you so happy that he walked out of Bandit Mountain alive?"

The reason why Sima Xiba colluded with Chen Tian to frame Chen Xuan and kill him was actually because he was instructed by Sima Tengfei.

He couldn't understand why his father, who was after all the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a high-ranking official of the second rank in the imperial court, would kill a waste?

And now, the other person is not dead, but he is even happier. What is he thinking?

Sima Tengfei glanced at his son and said calmly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Knowing too much will do you no good."

"yes!"

Sima Xiba was a smart man. He immediately lowered his head without asking any more questions.

Sima Tengfei looked at him deeply and suddenly asked, "Have you been spending more time with Princess Changning recently?"

Sima Xiba fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

Because Princess Changning was really ugly and had a bad temper, which was disrespectful to the gentleman.

Sima Xiba was extremely depressed because he had lied to his father that he was trying to match him up with the princess.

He would rather marry a prostitute than marry Princess Changning.

Seeing his expression, Sima Tengfei snorted coldly and scolded him, "Fool, Princess Changning is the most beloved daughter of the King of Qi. If you can marry her, it will be a blessing for you in eight lifetimes!"

"not to mention……"

Sima Tengfei's eyes flashed, his gaze was scorching, "The current emperor is not a man, there are quite a few complaints in the court, and many people secretly support the King of Qi."

"Haven't you seen how much resistance His Majesty has encountered in suppressing bandits? The ministers below simply don't obey her. If the King of Qi can ascend to the throne in the future, Princess Changning will become a princess. By then, you will be even less worthy of her!"

Hearing this, Sima Xiba’s eyes widened instantly.

He felt like he had heard a huge secret!

"Father, the King of Qi wants to replace the current emperor?"

Sima Tengfei immediately glared at him and scolded him, "Be careful with your words!"

Sima Xiba quickly shut his mouth. After all, trouble comes from the mouth. If the emperor knew about this, the entire Sima family would be executed!

Sima Tengfei's eyes flickered as he continued slowly, "The King of Qi already has the strength to compete with His Majesty. The reason he has not taken action yet is because he is looking for something. If the chance of success is only 50% now, then if he finds that thing, the chance of success will increase to 90%!"

Sima Xiba could not help but be shocked and asked, "What could possibly increase the chances of the King of Qi taking over the country by so much?"

Sima Tengfei said coldly: "You don't need to know this thing. You just need to know that in the entire Dagan Dynasty, the only living person who knows the whereabouts of that thing is Chen Xuan!"

Sima Xiba's pupils shrank. He never expected that it was related to Chen Xuan!

"For twenty years, this kid has been pretending to be crazy and stupid and playing the role of a loser. For twenty years, no one has given up hope on the thing his parents left behind. Who would have thought that he would be exposed now, haha."

"If I get that thing and help the King of Qi ascend to the throne, then that would be my meritorious service to the King. I would be ranked first on the merit list and hold the highest rank. The position of Prime Minister of the Dagan Dynasty would belong to me, second only to the King and above all others!"

"Send more people to secretly keep a close eye on Chen Xuan. Be careful not to alarm him or let anyone else find out!"

Sima Xiba took a deep breath, and at this moment he finally realized the importance of Chen Xuan.

He nodded heavily and said, "Father, I know what to do."

After leaving the Bandit Mountain, Chen Xuan and his party continued to move towards the northwestern border area of ​​the Dagan Dynasty.

After a long journey of nearly half a month.

Finally, they saw a huge city wall rising from the ground in the distance!
