Chapter 3254 Revenge!
Hearing his mournful cry, Nan Yan suddenly looked up and glanced at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng just looked at Chao Lu, who was crying his heart out, with an expressionless face. Seeing that he was about to faint, he said coldly: "Alright, take the body away."
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards came forward.
Na Chaolu was so panicked that he held his son's body with both hands to prevent them from moving. The people around him were also in a dilemma. Although he was a prisoner, even a heartless person would not dare to do anything to such a heartbroken father.
Zhu Feng continued coldly, "If you don't let go, do you want your son to rot here?"
Na Chaolu looked at him with red eyes.
"It's you, you killed my son!"
Zhu Feng sneered and said, "Is this still a strange thing?"
“…”
"You people have been disturbing our border for no reason and robbing the merchants. If I don't kill you, do I have to provide you with money and food?"
Chaolu had nothing to say.
He just looked down at Agula's body with red eyes, tears falling drop by drop on his deathly gray face.
Zhu Feng said coldly, "However, you'd better find out who killed your son. Otherwise, when you go to hell, you won't be able to redress the wrongdoing."
Hearing him say this, Chao Lu raised his hand and touched the piece of hemp rope that was still around Agula's neck with trembling hands.
This kind of hemp rope was specially made and he was not unfamiliar with it at all.
This kind of hanging was used for executions within the Eastern Chagali tribe.
Although there were other wounds on Agula's body, they were all from previous injuries. This one alone was the one that took his life.
He was killed by his own people from the Eastern Chagali tribe!
"ah--!"
Chao Lu let out a painful roar and burst into tears while hugging his son.
The people around them couldn't bear it any more, and turned their heads away from the scene. Only Zhu Feng remained expressionless, as if nothing he saw before him could shake his heart. He said coldly, "I'm only giving you a chance to look at him again because of your deep father-son relationship. But I haven't forgotten anything you did before. This is not the place for you to act recklessly."
Na Chaolu shuddered.
Zhu Feng said, "Take the body away."
The people around immediately stepped forward and took away Agula's body.
Seeing his son's body being dragged away, Chao Lu's eyes turned red and he suddenly turned to face Zhu Feng. Chen Zixiao and others immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Zhu Feng.
Naturally, they were also afraid that he would become desperate and do something terrible. If he hurt the emperor, it would be difficult to deal with.
But Chao Lu obviously had no such intentions. He just knelt on the ground and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, please find a piece of land for my son to be buried in peace. I, even if I have to work like a slave, I will definitely repay you."
Zhu Feng sneered, "As the emperor, I never despise offering cattle and horses as rewards."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chao Lu knelt on the ground, took two steps toward him on his knees, and said, "I have one more request for your Majesty the Emperor."
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at him coldly: "Why do you come to beg me?"
“…”
"Or do you think that as long as you beg me, I will pity you?"
Chao Lu's eyes were red, and his voice was filled with low roars, like a trapped beast. He said, "Because, because His Majesty the Emperor must want to eradicate White Tiger City."
…
When he finished speaking, the entire cell fell silent.
Nan Yan listened to her own heartbeat, which was like the beating of a drum, almost bursting out of her chest.
Zhu Feng, however, remained calm. He looked at Chao Lu coldly for a moment and said, "Do you have a way to help me eliminate White Tiger City?"
"yes!"
Chao Lu said firmly: "I can! I want to avenge my son. I won't let anyone there go! I want to avenge Agula!"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if you want revenge, you must be alive to do it. I don't want to repay you with cattle and sheep, nor do I want to cooperate with a half-dead person."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Nan Yan stood aside, stunned.
Although she hadn't fully grasped what had happened before, she did understand one thing: Zhu Feng's actions were all designed to provoke her father, to leave him with no choice but to cooperate. But why, when Chao Lu was already mentally broken, did he take his time?
She wanted to persuade Zhu Feng, but she knew that some things could not be said in front of Chao Lu, so she could only follow him out.
Just as Nan Yan walked out of the cage, before she could even speak, she saw Zhu Feng stop and say to Fang Buyuan, who had followed him out, "Send someone to treat his illness, and then find a chance to trick him. Remember, don't rush things, but I want all the information about White Tiger City before he comes to his senses."
Fang Buyuan immediately said, "I understand."
After saying that, he turned and went downstairs.
Zhu Feng then turned around to look at Nan Yan, who looked shocked. He smiled faintly and said, "Let's go back. The smell here is really bad."
"……yes."
Nan Yanren was still a little dazed and instinctively followed him back to the room.
A new ice tray had been placed in the room. The two felt cool as soon as they walked in. Next to the ice tray was a plate of freshly cut watermelon and some fresh fruit. The sweet fragrance of the fruit finally overwhelmed the stench they had just smelled in the dungeon. Nan Yan seemed to be a little more sober.
She immediately said, "Has the emperor wanted to use Chao Lu from the very beginning?"
Zhu Feng couldn't wait to take off his coat and threw it to her. His back and armpits were soaked with sweat. He picked up a fan and fanned himself without saying anything. Nan Yan hung up the clothes and walked back to him and asked, "Is that so?"
Zhu Feng then smiled and said, "Are you still asking?"
“…”
Nan Yan gasped.
Before, she always thought that Zhu Feng wanted to use Agula, including giving Chaolu the opportunity to release his son, and letting the Jinyiwei follow Agula and find the place where the Eastern Chaga tribe replenished their food and water.
But now, she realized that all of that was just a means.
Ultimately, what he wanted was Chao Lu's hatred.
Only such hatred could make him completely abandon the past and cooperate with them.
Nan Yan said, "So, the death of Agula—in fact, the emperor had planned it all along. Although it was the Eastern Chahe tribe that did it, if I'm not mistaken, it must have been Fang Buyuan and his men who deliberately revealed their whereabouts. The Eastern Chahe tribe would have been suspicious if they saw Agula escape alone, and once they discovered that one of our people had even reached the vicinity of White Tiger City, they would have suspected that Agula had surrendered to us and taken our people to White Tiger City. In this way, they would definitely not spare Agula."
“…”
"The Emperor wanted to use his death to stimulate his father from the beginning, right?"
