Chapter 191 Until now——Will you stop?
Zhu Feng slowly raised his eyes, his gaze still seemed deep and bottomless. When he looked at Zhu Xuan, even though Zhu Xuan was wearing armor, he felt as if a blade was scraping across his bones.
He subconsciously shuddered slightly.
Zhu Feng's deep voice rang out in the big tent—
"Prince Jing, what are you doing?"
“…”
"Are you deceiving the emperor? Or are you plotting rebellion?"
Zhu Xuan's body trembled violently.
The Yue people sneered and said, "Hahahaha, is there any need to say this? It seems that he is really a tyrant. Even after it has come to this, he still asks, hahahahaha!"
Amidst the laughter of these people, Zhu Feng remained as steady as a rock. Even his hands on the table didn't tremble at all. He just looked at Zhu Xuan calmly: "Sixth Brother, what on earth are you going to do?"
“…”
"Why don't you speak?"
“…”
"Could it be that even if I come to your tent alone, I still can't get a single word of truth from you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan raised his head, a solemn expression on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Brother Emperor, I also want to hear the truth from you."
"Okay, ask."
"Were the things that your younger brother was transporting to Yue State for Xiahou Jiu stolen by your royal brother?"
“…”
"Yeah?"
Zhu Feng looked at him silently, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"Yes, it was I who did it."
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Xuan's entire body twitched, but then he seemed relieved and said, "It really is my royal brother."
“…”
"You already suspected me before you came here. You were the first to strike. Now, why are you still asking me why?"
This person is so good at confusing right and wrong!
When Nan Yan heard this, she remembered what Tong Jie had told her before, that there was a batch of things to be transported, but he didn't finish what he said, and she immediately understood.
It was clearly them who were secretly communicating with the enemy country, but now they act as if they are being wronged!
She was angry and furious, but now more than that, she was afraid.
Because she saw that not only the people of Yue State reached out to the swords at their waists, but even Zhu Xuan himself and the deputy generals behind him also reached out to their swords.
At this time, Zhu Feng sighed again.
"I was the first to strike, but do you know what it means when I strike first?"
"W-what do you mean?"
"I took action to give you a warning."
“…”
"I'm here, I already know."
“…”
"You, it's time to stop."
Zhu Xuan's face turned pale and his whole body twitched again.
Zhu Feng slowly stood up. He was tall, standing like a mountain in the tent, making everyone feel as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
Everyone's breath was held.
But he remained calm, not even showing any anger, and looked at Zhu Xuan with a serious look: "But, you didn't."
“…”
"I know you sent someone to Yue to deliver a letter. After going back and forth, you must have known that the things were robbed and you will definitely suspect me."
“…”
"But you still didn't stop."
“…”
"I'll let you lead the troops and fight against the Kingdom of Yue. As long as you succeed in this battle—even if you fail, as long as you're willing to fight, I can still consider you as having stopped."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, as if huge rocks were pressing down on Zhu Xuan.
His originally tall figure, at this moment, became hunched little by little just by listening to Zhu Feng's words.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Now - are you stopping?"
