"The academy will not allow Zhou Cheng to grow up."
The other person took over the Crown Prince's words in a deep voice, his tone confident: "No one can threaten the Academy's position in the Central Plains. He is still too young and impetuous, and doesn't know how to restrain himself."
"In that case, let Cheng Gui Pavilion teach Zhou Cheng a lesson!"
"A huge organization that has been entrenched in the Central Plains for several years, whose leader is mysterious, ruthless, brave and resourceful. Sending Cheng Gui Pavilion to fight the Zhou family will result in mutual destruction, which is perfect."
"Your Highness, does the Yan Kingdom like this gift?"
A lose-lose situation?
What's the meaning?
The prince's pupils dilated slightly, and a storm brewed in his eyes.
The term "Cheng Gui Ge" may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but it strikes fear into the hearts of high-ranking officials and royalty from various countries. Its members move with unpredictable speed and are most skilled at slitting throats with a single blow.
None of those targeted by them survived past the next day!
What's most terrifying is that no one knows who their leader is, or even whether they are male or female. Their mystery is so great that even the Crown Prince doubted their very existence.
The academy initially considered whether to suppress Chenggui Pavilion, but no matter how much power they used, they were unable to find out who was in charge behind it!
"Didn't Cheng Gui Pavilion already show goodwill to the Zhou family? What did you do to incite the two sides to kill each other...?"
"Your Highness, just watch and see."
"Trust is the most fragile thing in the world. Zhou Cheng values his subordinates so much, I don't believe he could remain unmoved when a corpse is placed in front of him!"
"The winds are rising; though nations may shed blood for power, Nanyue Academy will stand firm and unyielding..."
Various thoughts flashed through the Crown Prince's mind, and he wanted to ask something else.
The person hidden behind the screen in the academy was unwilling to say anything more. With a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the other person had disappeared from behind the screen.
Emperors changed frequently in various countries, and dynasties rose and fell rapidly.
Only Nanyue Academy!
Since its establishment, it has remained unchanged for nearly five hundred years! With its long-standing foundation, no one in the Central Plains can shake its position.
Now that the deadly weapon has appeared, Zhou Cheng has emerged out of nowhere and single-handedly caught Emperor Yan off guard.
Such potential is even more terrifying than the sudden rise of Cheng Gui Pavilion back then. In order to maintain the unshakeable top position of the academy, it would be best if these two unknown threats fought each other to the point of mutual destruction.
The people in the academy were very confident that with just a little trick, the two sides could become mortal enemies!
But unfortunately—
He misjudged someone.
Cheng Xianyi, a love-struck woman in the position of Pavilion Master.
"Young master, we have reached the border area."
“The heavy snow has blocked the roads ahead, so we can rest for the night before setting off. You left General Zhou quite a few weapons; the imperial army of only a few hundred thousand men won’t be able to breach Jiangling City,” Black Rat said.
Zhou Cheng nodded calmly and asked, "Any news from Black Dragon?"
"not yet."
“Young master, when we were at the cloth shop in Wangcheng last time, the shopkeeper clearly wanted to befriend you. Cheng Gui Pavilion has people all over the Central Plains and extensive channels. It’s impossible that they didn’t know the identity of the Marquis of Pingyang.”
"They clearly knew it was the Marquis of Pingyang, yet they handed him over to us without hesitation. This is obviously a sign of goodwill! Why would they try to kill the Black Horse while he was in the abandoned house?"
Not far away,
Cheng Xianyi sat calmly in the rocking chair, stretching out her fair, jade-like hands to warm them by the fire. The firelight reflected in her pupils, making them look exceptionally bright and spirited.
Sitting opposite her, Ziyan listened to Heishu's analysis and her lips twitched uncontrollably. She wished she could rush up and prove her innocence!
This is a setup!
This is a blatant setup!
