Xichen panicked for a moment, thinking that he might delay his master's subsequent plans, and wanted to pull his hand back, but Xu Tianze pulled hard and held Xichen in his arms.
"Your Highness, you mean that I have already sentenced Ma Zheng to death, so it would be inappropriate for me to sentence Jiang Ti to death as well, right?" Xu Tianze hugged Xichen, showing his protective intention, but his words were sharp.
Xu Tianze himself did not care too much about Long Muse. After all, if Long Muse really had no control over such a large military camp and could easily let the soldiers leave the camp without permission, Long Muse would not be alive until now.
Looking at Qitian Pavilion and the persona he has created in Shangjing City, one can see how deep Long Muse's influence is. Therefore, the assassins came here only with Long Muse's tacit approval.
In the end, Ma Zheng was just a scapegoat pushed out by Long Musi. Xu Tianze accepted it, which meant that the matter had come to a conclusion.
But before, Long Er questioned him in public without distinguishing between high and low, and now he is using Ma Zheng's death to make trouble. Could it be that he is really easy to bully?
"Aze is a smart man. I have never doubted this." Long Musi retracted his gaze, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"But smart people are not easy to bully. Achen, take off your mask." Xu Tianze sneered and then patted Xichen's hand lightly.
Xichen understood and stood up to take off the human skin mask on his face. Then he stood and saluted Long Musi: "Xiaozhanzi greets the Third Prince."
Long Musi was a little angry because of what Xu Tianze said just now, but before he could lash out, he saw Xichen turned into a small cup. He was distracted and the cup in his hand was unstable, and the tea spilled on his body without him noticing.
When Long Musi reacted, he stood up angrily, took a look at the small cup, then turned around and looked at Xu Tianze angrily.
He said that Jiang Ti was so similar to his second brother, so why didn't he win the slightest favor from Xu Tianze in the end? It turned out that his brother, the crown prince, had already taken the initiative.
With a handsome man like Xiaozhanzi in front to comfort Xu Tianze, the value of Jiang Ti later on was naturally greatly reduced.
"I didn't expect that, but it seems that Aze doesn't care much about the death of the second prince. I'm afraid he has no friendship with the second prince anymore." Long Musi laughed in anger, raised his eyebrows and poked at Xu Tianze's sore spot, making Xu Tianze embarrassed.
You have to know that it has only been a few months since Long Mujiang's death. Excluding the time he spent in Zhoushan City and the time he spent coming to Zhoushan City, it has really not been long since his second brother died.
So, the prince gave the small bowl directly to the deceased right after he died, and Xu Tianze accepted it in the end. This means that Xu Tianze had no friendship for his second brother at all.
Of course, Long Musi didn't know that although Xu Tianze accepted Xichen, it was only because of his initial cooperation with the prince, and he had only started having sex in recent days.
Of course, even if this is the case, it was only half a year. If you think about it, Xu Tianze could be considered a heartless person, and there is no such thing as such a short time to keep vigil.
"Of course it is. Do you still expect me to remain a virgin to a dead person?" There was no change on Xu Tianze's face, as if he didn't care about Long Musi's words at all.
"Your Highness is also a smart man. Since we are all smart people, it is better to be cautious about some things. Otherwise, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end." Xu Tianze's face instantly changed to a sneer, and he began to threaten in his words.
"What do you mean? Don't blame me for reminding you where you are now." Long Musi calmed down, but his eyes contained murderous intent.
He had always known that Xu Tianze was not easy to coax, but he still had some affection for him. Coupled with his own speculations and his father's dying instructions, he allowed Xu Tianze to follow him and give him advice.
But this does not mean that Xu Tianze can hold him back, or even directly block his way forward, even if he has always reserved a certain place for Xu Tianze in his heart.
"Your Highness, although I don't know why you insist on keeping me by your side, it's a bit unreasonable to throw a group of cowards to me to train while you yourself control an elite army. Or do you think I really can't see it?" Xu Tianze stood up, pushed Long Musi away, and directly helped Xichen up.
As for Jiang Ti, who was still kneeling on the ground with a confused look on his face, he should just kneel there so as not to stand up and bother him.
"What do you want?" Long Musi had a bad premonition in his heart. He suddenly remembered that all the secret guards of Long Mujiang around Xu Tianze had dispersed.
If those secret guards went out with a purpose, Long Musi would have to be on guard. After all, at the beginning, he tacitly allowed those oily guys to disguise themselves as assassins just to test the strength of the secret guards around Xu Tianze.
Unexpectedly, there was no secret guard around Xu Tianze. Even the secret guard who was following Xu Tianze now was assigned to him by Long Musi.
"If you don't want anything, don't play tricks around me. This is for your own good, my own good, and everyone's good. Otherwise, I can just go and seek refuge with the prince. I believe the prince will welcome me very much." Xu Tianze lifted Xichen's chin teasingly, not hiding his affection for Xichen at all.
"It's a deal." Long Musi felt that the scene in front of him was a bit dazzling, so he agreed directly and turned around to leave.
When he was about to reach the door, he stopped and turned his back to Xu Tianze, his voice somewhat dejected: "Aze, you have changed after all."
The disappointment and loneliness in that voice made people feel a little sad, and even Xu Tianze's body stiffened when he heard it.
Long Musi admitted that he had always been pursuing fame and fortune, and had never given up his ambitions, but he always kept a certain place for Xu Tianze in his heart.
Even though he knew there was no possibility for the two of them to be together anymore, Long Musi simply couldn't control his heart. The portrait in the secret compartment of the room had always been a symbol of his longing for Xu Tianze.
The purple dandelion crystal and the most important jade pendant of the Long family embedded in it, no matter which one it is, it represents his true inner thoughts and his naked love.
Sometimes Long Musi would wonder, if he had been bolder, then the love he felt in his youth could have been vented, and in the end, so many things wouldn’t have happened and so many people wouldn’t have appeared.
But when he woke up from the dream, Long Musi would laugh at his own wishful thinking, and then make it clear that what he wanted most was power and status, so he would not be exhausted by this unrequited love.
