As a person who could gain the utmost trust from Emperor Gan, and even knew directly all the plans of Emperor Gan and others, Wang Wei, even though he was nearing old age, his intelligence had never diminished.
He knew what Xu Tianze was thinking as soon as he saw it. He was hesitant in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Young Master Xu, there's no need to overthink it. The only old people who know about the late emperor's plan are Eunuch Quan in the palace and this half-dead man like me."
"Yeah." Although Xu Tianze didn't believe it, he didn't say much. He just nodded indifferently.
In his opinion, how many elderly people participated in the plan was not decided by these people, but by him, the victim.
But I think Wang Wei, who is at the end of his life, will not really tell him anything, and he is too lazy to waste his energy.
"What did that person leave me?" Xu Tianze stared at Wang Wei's cloudy eyes.
If it wasn't something important, there was no need for him to stay here all the time. If it was something important, well, what could be so important about it? At most, it would just be some high-sounding apologies.
"Young Master Xu doesn't even have the guts to call me brother anymore?" Wang Wei felt unwilling and even felt a little sorry for his master.
When his master knew his life story, he had been secretly planning a way out for Xu Tianze. He had hit a wall countless times, but when Xu Tianze spoke of him, he became "that person."
Without even a word of respect, what was the point of his master finally giving up hope of living? Xu Tianze even wanted to kill his young master some time ago.
Such an ungrateful person is not worth his master's efforts at all, and he ends up with a miserable ending in the end.
"Idiot, let's go." Xu Tianze rolled his eyes at Wang Wei and led his men out.
If it weren't for the fact that old man Wang Wei was about to die, he would have poisoned him to torture him. If he had a hole in his brain, he should stop embarrassing himself.
He didn't really want this thing, but he took this trip because he saw that Wang Chuannuo was filial.
What do you mean by "big brother"? He looks at me like an ungrateful person and doesn't even think about who caused him to be like this today. If it weren't for Xu Jixue, how could he have been abandoned by that old beast Xu Li and been plotted to death by those two old bastards Gan Di and Song Zhenjiang?
This is because there is no corpse, only a meaningless cenotaph, otherwise he would have dragged the person out and whipped the corpse. What disgusted Xu Tianze the most was that he was the one who built the cenotaph.
"Wait, don't you want to know what His Highness left for you? That's something that can save your life." Wang Wei became anxious when he saw that Xu Tianze really wanted to leave.
His body, which was on the verge of death, suddenly sat up with a strong breath. If his son had not stopped him, he would have probably rolled off the bed.
"I didn't want it in the first place, so you can keep it. As for saving my life?" Xu Tianze sneered, "I've been dying for a long time, and I'm only grateful to Xu Jixue. Why are you pretending to care now?"
"No, how is it possible? You lied to me, you lied to me! Cough cough." Wang Wei collapsed and roared. He was unwilling to believe that all his master's efforts were in vain.
If that was the case, then he really didn't have the face to go downstairs and meet his master.
Xu Tianze listened to the roar behind him and remained unmoved. If it were in the past, he might have been really touched, but now he really had no idea.
Because he knew very well that after being trapped again and again, he had long lost his trust in Xu Jixue and had no feelings for him.
"Father, what he said is true." Wang Chuannuo stopped his father and glanced at Xu Tianze's back, feeling helpless and pity.
During the time his father was in a coma, he had been secretly searching for news about Xu Tianze, so Xu Tianze's affairs were no longer a secret in the eyes of those who were interested.
Whether it was when the Xu family was massacred and bullied, or when he was refined into a poisoner and returned to Shangjing City to stir up trouble, or when he and the wise king hid in the Valley of Divine Doctors and ignored worldly affairs, and now he is wandering among the three major forces in the country of Gan, he already knew everything clearly.
This is also why he doesn't understand why his father must find Xu Tianze, and why he is stopping his father now.
Because for Xu Tianze, the Xu family has long been a shame to him and the object of his resentment, not to mention Xu Jixue, the root of his problem.
So how could Xu Tianze really care about what Xu Jixue left behind? He only came to the City Lord's Mansion out of pity for his filial piety.
Shangjing City, Zhenguogong Mansion
"Master, Master Xu has already set off. He should be back in ten days." Dai Nian stood behind Song Yu, his tone somewhat brisk, but if you looked closely, you could still see the complexity on Dai Nian's face.
After all, when Xu Tianze left Shangjing City, he killed the old Duke Zhenguo before leaving. Even if his master got some news, it could not change the fact that the two of them were directly separated by the enemy who killed their father.
"He has changed back, too. After all, Shangjing City is his final destination." Song Yu paused, "Go and prepare the things I asked you to prepare. We will go to the city gate to welcome him in person."
"Yes." Dai Nian stepped out and left the darkness to Song Yu.
Song Yu turned around and took out the broken jade pendant from the secret compartment, rubbing it carefully. "Aze, what will you choose this time?"
Song Yu always thought that all his choices were just his subjective will, but he didn't expect that everything in the past was deliberately guided by someone. Even when he knew the truth, he felt an unrealistic sense of relief about his father's death.
Long Qingyi controls Shangjing City, with Prince Chang as his deputy, while Song Yu stays in the mansion and doesn't want to plan anything.
Now that Xu Tianze is coming back, it's time for him to put an end to everything and leave the rest to them. He is really tired, so he has to give up first.
Ten days later, at Shili Pavilion outside the capital,
“Ouch—”
"What's the matter?" Xu Tianze lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
During these ten days, although the four of them had not been assassinated, the more abnormal things happened, the more wrong it seemed. The four of them were about to reach the capital, but no one dared to let down their guard.
While Xu Tianze was asking questions, Xichen pulled out four knives from under the seat. Whenever Xu Tianze shouted, he would go out with the knives.
"Master, there's someone in the Ten-Li Pavilion ahead." Xue Wei and Qing Yuan exchanged glances, each seeing something strange in the other's eyes. "The person in the pavilion ahead is Duke Zhenguo Song Yu."
