Chapter 184 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

System: [If he's not here, you're going to make up rumors, right?]

Xue Chen: [Don't slander me! You think I want to do this, but it's because my brother is not honest and refuses to confess anything.]

System: [What else do you want to confess?]

Xue Chen: [I've been away from Wuming Island for too long, and there must have been a lot of changes during this period. If we don't catch them all at once, it's easy to leave a root of trouble. In fact, I've also considered it. Even if we achieve our goal now, what should we do if my brother is still greedy and continues to gather people outside? Even if his martial arts skills are wasted, he still has a brain and a mouth. As long as he wants to do something, there is nothing he can't do.]

System: [……]

I will never say you are a brother-con again.

Which brother-con would be so cruel to his brother?

Xue Chen: [It is better to solve the problem from the root.]

System: [Are you going to kill Gong Jiu?]

Xue Chen: [You are so vicious, he is my brother!]

System whispered: [He is not my brother.]

Xue Chen ignored this sentence: [The reason why he was successful was not only due to his force, but also the current situation. I don’t know what the original story is like, but it is indeed very chaotic now. I haven’t been to many places, and most of them are in the city. I haven’t seen people from the countryside. Even so, what I have seen and heard is not much better.

[Those people in the rivers and lakes are not only the children of gangs, but also the common people of the big banks. For example, people like Hu Sheng, who are from the lower five classes, fish, row boats, work as coolie porters, and handle carts. They have already used up all their energy to make a living every day. If they can live a good life by themselves, who would risk their lives to go to an unknown island? 】

System: 【Isn't it the lower five classes? There are only four of them. 】

Xue Chen: 【Forget about being a human trafficker. It is illegal in any dynasty. The law stipulates that people who buy and sell people should be executed. 】

System: 【Oh... so you want to...】

Xue Chen: 【Let's talk about it later. 】

Yuan Feishuang's attitude was very strong. When Gong Jiu heard him say this, he closed his mouth tightly and refused to say a word.

King Taiping thought to himself, this Yuan Feishuang looks feminine, like someone who is easy to get along with, and speaks very politely. Who would have thought that he would be such a person? I don't know if he was so unruly when he was with Cai Jing in private.

Yuan Feishuang sat aside and poured himself a glass of water slowly: "Prince, please continue to ask."

Prince Taiping looked at Gong Jiu coldly: "The force under your command is called Nameless Island?"

Gong Jiu said nothing.

Yuan Feishuang: "Yes, the owner of the island is Wu Ming, an old man with great martial arts skills but no fame. He is a genius and can do everything in the world easily, so he wanted to do something difficult. He learned many things to the pinnacle, but he has no fame at all, and the island he built is also like this.

"Wu Ming should be a fake name, which means 'nameless'. Otherwise, his daughter should have the surname Wu, not Gong. Xue Lian worshipped the old man as his master, and he and the palace mistress called each other brother and sister. His pseudonym when he was traveling in the world was also Gong, called Gong Jiu. He was an invisible man in Wu Ming's hands, and no one could guess his true identity. He did a lot of things outside. "Prince

Taiping: "How do you know so clearly?" "

Yuan Feishuang: "Xue Chen told me that he was very angry that Xue Lian had set up a new family outside. He was rude to you in the mansion, and recognized someone else as his father outside. Aren't you angry?"

Gong Jiu said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

What do you mean by setting up a new family outside!

Although he did do that... When it came out of Yuan Feishuang's mouth, it made it sound like he secretly kept a concubine. Where did this sentence put the eldest brother?

Yuan Feishuang chuckled, "Then you say it yourself. "

Gong Jiu: "There's nothing to say."

Yuan Feishuang: "Then I'm going to spread rumors."

System: [You still say you don't spread rumors!]

Xue Chen: [Tease him, how could I really do that, my father is watching next to him.]

The system shared his vision and noticed the expression of King Taiping.

He was looking at the two people with a thoughtful look on his face.

Gong Jiu obviously noticed the change in his father's expression, but he didn't care at all. As long as it didn't involve Xue Chen, what King Taiping thought was none of his business.

System: [Why don't you clarify it?]

Xue Chen : [How can I bring up such a thing? I want to explain it directly, but I can't trample on my brother's self-esteem. I originally thought that if I gave him a beating, my father might be able to guess his habit, and he would definitely know it as I do. If he doesn't see it, then let's just leave it this way for now. Anyway, my brother is here, and my father will definitely see him.]

System: [……]

The three were in a stalemate, and Xue Chen came to the front of the house and knocked on the door: "Dad."

King Taiping: "Chen'er is here? Come in quickly. "

Xue Chen pushed the door open and looked at Yuan Feishuang.

Yuan Feishuang shook her head at him.

These little actions were seen by Gong Jiu and King Taiping. The two had different thoughts and did not say anything.

Xue Chen sat on the chair on the right and said to Yuan Feishuang: "Thank you for your hard work. Lian'er should not be rough with me again. You go and do your work first."

Yuan Feishuang nodded, got up and left.

Gong Jiu: "Brother, are you still blaming me?"

Xue Chen: "Shouldn't I?"

Gong Jiu lowered his head: "I did something wrong and I am willing to be punished. But for the rest, I really can't swallow that breath."

Xue Chen asked King Taiping: "Dad, is there any news outside? "

The King of Taiping said, "The assassins in Qingyi Tower know a lot about the Jianghu. With them at the forefront, they quickly conquered the Jianghu gangs in Zhending Prefecture. They should be heading to Hejian Prefecture now."

"Those forces are too scattered, and it is indeed difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop. This is the only way." Xue Chen said, "If you encounter any trouble, you can ask Yun Heyan or Xiao Mian for help if necessary. If there is something you are not sure about, asking Lu Xiaofeng for help is also a good idea."

The King of Taiping said, "Does Lu Xiaofeng know?"

Xue Chen said, "He has met Gong Jiu, but he doesn't know Xue Lian yet. I want to keep this matter a secret to prevent someone in the court from holding on to it and bringing trouble to my family."

Prince Taiping said earnestly: "Chen'er, you are his brother, after all, you are not himself. He is not a child anymore. If he did something wrong, he should take responsibility for it himself. You don't need to bear it for him."

Xue Chen smiled and said, "How could I bear it for him? I just don't want my father to be embarrassed in the court. Besides, although I have been claiming to be sick for many days, I am still a member of the Ministry of War. If something happens to Ren'er, I will definitely be implicated. I kept it a secret for him, not to protect him, but I just don't want the situation to get worse."

Gong Jiu: "You don't need to negotiate for me. I will never regret my actions. Even if I die because of it, it is my fate."

Prince Taiping scolded: "Xue Ren!"

Gong Jiu had resisted him for so many years and had long been accustomed to the way of getting along with him. Even if he knew the truth, he still couldn't change it.

He looked at his father coldly, his eyes full of coldness.

Prince Taiping: "Come out with me."

He stood up and walked outside.

Gong Jiu looked at Xue Chen.

Xue Chen: "Daddy asked you to go out, why don't you go quickly."

Gong Jiu followed Prince Taiping outside.

Prince Taiping walked out of the courtyard and came to the garden. Gong Jiu followed him and remembered that not long ago, when he had just confessed in front of his brother, the two brothers had a very awkward quarrel. Prince Taiping had also talked to him in private, and it was the same as now.

Those words must not be heard by his brother. Last time,

Prince Taiping misled him and said that his brother's character was not as good as his, and he really believed it. Instead, he was arrogant in front of his elder brother and made his brother sad.

This time, no matter what Prince Taiping said, he would not believe it.

Prince Taiping suppressed his anger: "Your elder brother has always been weak. You are so ignorant. Are you trying to harm him?"

Gong Jiu seemed not to hear him, with a cold expression.

Prince Taiping: "You are so stubborn and unwilling to give up. Do you think that if you die, everything will be over? Your brother knows you so well. How could he not know what you are thinking? How could he watch you die?"

Gong Jiu's face changed. He thought about Prince Taiping's words suspiciously, but still said nothing.

Prince Taiping: "He has long wanted to plead guilty for you..."

Gong Jiu: "What did you say?"

Prince Taiping: "When you left home, he went to look for you in person. After he came back, he went to the army to see me. At that time, he wanted to die for you! Your elder brother is weak and bedridden most of the time. It is not easy for him to be where he is today. Why do you have to force him like this?"

Gong Jiu was stunned.

After a while, he skipped the heavy topic, "Did elder brother come to look for me?"

Prince Taiping: "There is a man named Xiao Qi who is very good at disguise. After you left, Xiao Qi disguised himself as Chen Er. Chen Er went to look for you in person and followed you to the front line. Didn't you meet? How could you not know?"

Gong Jiu: "..."
