When passing by the guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he snatched a knife from the guards and slashed at Xu Tianze with the knife.
For a moment, his heart was in a mess. On one side was his adoptive father who had raised him for more than ten years and finally inherited the title to him. On the other side was the person he had been pursuing for many years but could never get.
No matter which side he chooses, he will disappoint one of them in the end, but his adoptive father was killed in front of so many people, so he has to show an attitude no matter what.
Otherwise, after tonight, there will no longer be a place for him in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
When Xu Tianze saw Song Yu rushing towards him with a knife, he coldly pinched Xu An's neck and blocked it in front of him, waiting for Song Yu to kill both Xu An and him.
At this moment, there was a hint of relief and expectation in his eyes.
If it were Song Zhenjiang, he might not have killed anyone at all, but Song Yu was different. Song Yu himself was righteous, and he also wanted to consolidate his position in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Of course he could kill him, and he could even be so cruel as to kill him and Xu An together.
It’s a pity that Xu Tianze’s expectations were destined to be dashed. Before Song Yu could swing his knife, Song Zhenjiang on the side hurriedly stopped him.
"Yu'er, stop, you can't kill! Otherwise, there will be no more Gan Dynasty in the world, and there will be no Zhenguo Mansion!" Song Zhenjiang forced himself to shout to Song Yu to stop, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, and he suddenly became much more energetic.
But everyone present knew that Song Zhenjiang was only in his last moments of life. After all, the hidden blade stuck in his chest was still bleeding.
"Why? Father, are you still going to protect him? Is it because he is your biological son and I am your adopted son?" Song Yu stopped forcibly, and the reverse flow of his true energy made him look a little embarrassed.
But none of these could compare to the confusion in Song Yu's heart, and he even felt aggrieved. After all, he and Song Zhenjiang had no blood relationship, only some grace of raising him.
That's why Song Zhenjiang defended Xu Tianze like this. Even though he had been killed by Xu Tianze, he still wanted to defend him.
So what is Song Yu now? A clown who keeps jumping between the father and son?
Song Zhenjiang couldn't bear to see Song Yu like this, so he could only close his eyes and not look at Song Yu: "Let them go, and my death will not be pursued."
"Old Duke!"
Song Zhenjiang's words shocked all the guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. They knelt on one knee in front of Song Zhenjiang, with confusion and indignation on their faces.
Even if they are biological children, in their opinion, if they commit an act of patricide, they should be killed directly, rather than being kind and letting them go.
"Let him go." Song Zhenjiang remained unmoved and still insisted on his decision.
The people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had no choice but to make way for Xu Tianze to walk, but when Xu Tianze and Xu An walked among the crowd, they kept looking at him with hatred.
On the contrary, Xu Tianze, who was in the middle of it, looked relaxed and comfortable, as if he was strolling in his own garden.
When Xu Tianze completely walked out, Song Zhenjiang's voice came over: "Do you really know? When?"
When Xu Tianze heard Song Zhenjiang's words, he said "Tsk" in disdain, then turned around and looked at Song Zhenjiang who had been staring at him.
"Old man, if you don't hesitate to torture me like this, you should have thought that I would grow up and guess the truth. The multi-ring conspiracy and the switching of open and covert plots can deceive people, but it can also arouse suspicion."
"You are not the last one, but you are the first one to know what I guessed. Do you think that if I announce it directly, this dynasty will be destroyed?" Xu Tianze's eyes were full of mockery, but his face was full of arrogance and madness.
Afterwards, before Song Zhenjiang could respond, Xu Tianze looked at Song Yu, who had been kept in the dark, and said, "I am not this old man's son. You are, literally, in the blood relationship."
"Xu Tianze!!!"
"Okay, okay, I know you, an old man, are going to die, so I'll give you face and not say anything." Xu Tianze lazily dragged Xu An step by step down the mountain.
His work tonight was finally done. After returning home and dealing with the issue at hand, he could have a good rest. Otherwise, he might not be able to hold on any longer.
My body has clearly recovered and is even many times better than before, but in the past two months I have felt more tired than ever before.
Song Yu was originally feeling a mixture of anger, grievance, and confusion, but when he sensitively heard the last conversation between Song Zhenjiang and Xu Tianze, he became alert.
There was a special drumbeat beating in his heart. He knew that there was something important that he didn't know, so he was confused by the riddles of Song Zhenjiang and Xu Tianze.
Combined with Song Zhenjiang's words asking him to stop just now, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind. This idea reached its peak when Xu Tianze said that he, Song Yu, was the real prince of the Zhenguo Mansion.
"Father, Aze, he is..." Song Yu lowered his head and stared at Song Zhenjiang, eager to know whether his guess was right.
"Shut up!" Song Zhenjiang glared at his son, then asked Dai Nian to lead the other people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to retreat and make room for the father and son.
"Aze, is he a prince?" Song Yu asked in a low voice when he saw the people around him retreat.
There was still a hint of excitement and anticipation on his face, and even a lot of excitement in his heart.
Song Zhenjiang was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that his son had only guessed the next level of the plan, but not the final truth.
However, this made Song Zhenjiang sigh in his heart that Xu Tianze was really smart and actually guessed the most essential thing. Comparing the two, he had to sigh at the education of Xu Li, the old fox.
But he just thought about it in his mind. In order to prevent his son from getting suspicious, Song Zhenjiang pretended to be helpless. In the end, he could only nod and admit that Xu Tianze was the prince.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Song Yu had a secret pleasure of getting a glimpse of Xu Tianze's true identity.
This pleasure made him ignore the fact that the person Song Zhenjiang was nervous about just now was Xu An, not Xu Tianze. It also made him ignore the complexity in Song Zhenjiang's eyes when he looked at him.
"Don't... come any closer. He is no longer... the person... that you have always been thinking about." Song Zhenjiang said intermittently and lowered his head.
His face was extremely complicated. Upon closer inspection, there was a hint of regret and a hint of unwillingness at the corner of his mouth.
