Xu Tianze ignored Long San and just walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with a blank face. He also wanted to meet Long Muse and see how Long Muse wanted to deal with him.
"You're here." Long Musi was wearing casual clothes and sitting barefoot on the soft couch, looking relaxed.
When Xu Tianze saw Long Muse like this, his pupils trembled slightly. In his impression, Long Muse had never been dressed like this before.
With disheveled hair, unkempt appearance, and untidy clothes, he looked like he had lost his fighting spirit. This was completely different from the Long Muse who was always strategizing.
"King Jing seems to have no interest in anything now, which really makes me feel a little at a loss. I just don't know who this show is for." Xu Tianze's sneer concealed the sadness in his heart.
"Aze, just perform for whoever you think you should perform for." Long Musi didn't care about Xu Tianze's provocation, and there was indifference in his eyes.
Long Musi has always been high-spirited, because he always knew what he wanted. Even when he had to choose between realizing his own ambitions or choosing Xu Tianze, Long Musi could make a rational judgment.
But now, he suddenly felt a little tired. What he was proud of and what he had been planning all along turned out to be a road paved by others long ago. If that was the case, what was there for him to struggle for? In the end, it would be a dead end anyway.
Seeing this, Xu Tianze felt hesitant. He was originally a little angry about Xu An's matter, so he naturally wanted to find trouble with Long Muse. However, seeing Long Muse's look, he was a little at a loss.
"You know everything?" Xu Tianze tested cautiously.
Long Musi chuckled twice and turned away, not wanting to look at Xu Tianze. If he said he didn't know, how long would Xu Tianze keep it a secret? Until everyone gathered in the capital? Or would he never let him know until he died?
Xu Tianze sighed. Even though he had countless ideas in his mind, at this moment, facing such a Long Musi, he really found it difficult to speak.
After all, what the person in front of him is experiencing now is exactly what he experienced in the past, the feeling that his life is just a joke, that everything he does is calculated by others, and that he knows his miserable ending but has no way to change it.
It was precisely because he had experienced it and knew that kind of despair that Xu Tianze was unable to give cruel advice.
"I will take my people away, and you should release Jiang Ti and return him to me." Xu Tianze shook his head and sighed, then turned around and wanted to leave.
"Aze, do you really want to be someone else's pawn and live your whole life under other people's calculations?" When Long Musi saw Xu Tianze was about to leave, there was a glimmer of hope in his gray eyes.
Unfortunately, Xu Tianze, who had his back to him, would never see this ray of hope that was like a life-saving straw.
Xu Tianze paused for a long moment before his voice rang out: "The same questions you asked me, An'er also asked me. Similarly, I also asked my aunt and the prince."
Xu Tianze's face was filled with self-mockery and helplessness towards this shocking calculation. His eyes were full of memories, and the scene of his unwillingness emerged in his mind:
"Aunt, even if the chess player dies, the chess pieces still have a chance to survive."
"Zer, do you really think chess pieces can escape their fate?"
"The chess piece may have a chance to break free, but once it's trapped in the incubator, it's no longer in control of itself."
"Prince, you clearly promised me that you would get out of the chess game. How can you go back on your word?"
“Brother Xu, I am the prince of Da Gan, and secondly, I am myself.”
Xu Tianze raised his head. No matter how warm the winter sun was, it was not as scorching as the summer sun, and the biting cold wind never stopped.
"Qi Tian Pavilion is yours. Guess what Long Muli is doing now?" Xu Tianze raised his leg and walked outside. "If you still can't get out after the New Year, we will kick you out."
In the future, there will be someone who can bury their bodies.
Long Musi silently looked at the door which was already empty. There was struggle in his eyes. He became suspicious because Long Muli disappeared in Shangjing City.
When Qitian Pavilion sent the news that Qingyuan was with the prince and Ma Zheng was with Long Muli in Cangjie Kingdom, he had a premonition that something was out of his control.
He collected all the clues from the past, reviewed old stories over and over again, and finally he really discovered the problem.
It turned out that Xu Tianze was not replaced, or Xu Tianze himself was just pushed out to attract attention. The person who was actually replaced was Xu Tianze's elder brother, Xu Jixue.
Xu Tianze had been hiding his identity as a prince, which was also fake. The real prince was Xu Tianze, and Xu An was now his blood nephew.
Originally, Long Musi's emotions were up and down because of this matter, but when he found out that everything these people did was to pave the way for Xu An, he completely collapsed.
What he couldn't understand the most was that these people knew very well what they were doing and knew that their actions were being calculated, but they were willing to be pawns.
Even though he knew he was going to die, he still followed that man's plan.
He said it was for the sake of Gan State. He naturally knew that Emperor Gan's plan was to involve Cangjie State and Minglan State, and finally take them down secretly in one fell swoop. By then, the three kingdoms would be unified, and the monarch of Gan State would be the only king.
But so what? They all died in the end, and it was impossible for them to redeem themselves after death. They would only be infamous for eternity.
Xu Tianze originally thought that Long Musi would take a few days to send Jiang Ti back, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, he would find him sitting in his room waiting for him.
"Have you been wronged?" Xu Tianze's eyes softened and he hugged Jiang Ti who rushed over.
"The prince did not make things difficult for me." Jiang Ti shook his head, his voice choked.
When Zhoushan City was besieged, his master took Xichen and Long Er away directly. Even Yinliu had her own mission. Only he was left behind. He thought that his master did not trust him.
Later, he waited for a long time before his master came back, and then he was arranged by his master to explore all the tunnels under Zhoushan City. Who knew that while exploring, he found a secret passage leading directly to the military camp outside the city.
Then we saw the prince who was supposed to be fighting bandits outside, sitting in the tent with his sword in hand. Who knew that he accidentally revealed his whereabouts when he retreated, and was finally captured alive by Long Musi.
Fortunately, Long Musi did not make things difficult for him. Apart from being confined to his room, he was still provided with all the food and drink he needed. He stayed there until now and was finally released.
Then he came back and waited for his master to come back.
"Master, Prince..." Jiang Ti raised his head from Xu Tianze's arms and was about to tell him the secret he had discovered.
"It's all over." Xu Tianze made a silencing gesture with his finger next to Jiang Ti.
