Chapter 344: Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge



"Ninth brother, you came just in time. Please quickly explain to me what is going on."

Wen Chenxuan had a gloomy expression on his face and set his eyes on Wen Jingchi.

In the depths of his eyes, Wen Jingchi saw a deep calculation.

Before he could open his mouth to speak, the leader of Waten started shouting with great conviction.

"Your Majesty, please don't be partial to your brother. He actually said that I hired someone to defile his princess. This is simply slandering my innocence. If this gets out, how can we, Waten, survive?"

"You must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise how can our two countries cooperate? It may even damage your national dignity and reputation. Your Majesty, please weigh it yourself."

He had no respect for Wen Chenxuan at all. He spoke in a haughty manner with his head held high.

These words hit the mark of Wen Chenxuan's mind, and he slammed the table in pretended anger.

"Ninth brother, you have gone too far in this matter. How can you slander others without solid evidence? Just relying on a woman's one-sided words, and she was drunk, cannot be counted!"

Then he sighed with a hint of helplessness.

"Since you were at fault first, you should be punished. I will fine you three months' salary as a warning to others."

"But then again, the Wateng people are unruly by nature, which is incompatible with the temperament of the people in our country. It is indeed easy for disputes to occur when living together."

Chief Wateng's expression changed, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

He clenched his fists, the anger in his eyes ready to burst out.

Wen Chenxuan looked at him calmly and explained word by word.

“What I mean is that you, the people of Wateng, should leave and not live with our people. What you want is to cultivate the land anyway.

I will redivide the area and give you land for farming, but you are not allowed to live with our people."

"What did you say?"

The leader stood up angrily, wishing he could rush to Wen Chenxuan and hack him to death with his sword.

Although they in Wateng lack arable land and do need food, they want to live a comfortable life more.

Every winter, it is freezing cold there.

Although allocating land to them can solve their food and clothing problems, they still want to engage in normal trade. Leaving will result in heavy losses for them!

Today, he has completely seen through Wen Chenxuan's true face. He is simply a traitor!

"Alright, let's just leave it at that. Let's not talk about it anymore. Leader, you should go back first."

Wen Chenxuan waved his hand at him and walked away indifferently.

Naturally, Chief Wateng would not give up, so he waited for Wen Jingchi to leave and went to find Wen Chenxuan again.

Wen Chenxuan, however, claimed to be ill and refused to see him, and had him kicked out.

The leader had no choice but to leave.

As soon as he left, Wen Chenxuan walked out from behind the pillar next to him with an unfathomable smile on his lips.

It seems that Waten can no longer be kept, and they must be killed completely, otherwise they will always be a scourge.

If their previous cooperation were to be exposed, he would lose the support of the people.

The only solution now is to go all out and eradicate the problem completely!

The chief returned to the yard where he lived and angrily kicked the table to the ground.

"This emperor is so abominable. He actually dared to say such arrogant words to me. When he cooperated with us, he promised us so many benefits. Now he actually wants to break his promise. I will not let him go..."

He was like a raging lion, roaring and screaming in the yard, smashing everything there.

It took him a long time to regain some of his senses and he suddenly thought of the Jin Kingdom.

He left the capital without stopping and headed for the Kingdom of Jin.

It took two days to successfully meet the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

The two men discussed it and decided to take action against Wen Chenxuan during the heavenly memorial ceremony half a month later.

Then they put the blame on Wen Jingchi and benefited from it.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is very important. All officials will bring their families to participate, and Wen Chenxuan will perform an incense-lighting ceremony.

The person responsible for taking the cigarette from Wen Chenxuan was the assassin arranged by Wateng and Jin Guo. They were disguised as ordinary hosts.

On the day of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Many ministers, with their wives and daughters, stood by and waited.

Wen Chenxuan is in much better health and his complexion is much rosier than before.

Chu Weiyue appeared with Wen Jingchi and stood behind Wen Chenxuan.

Because there weren't many people in this location, I couldn't help but whisper.

"Why do I feel like today is not peaceful enough?"

Chu Weiyue frowned, looking a little flustered.

"We have to take it one step at a time. Some things are beyond our control. Besides, the ceremony is quite grand and many steps cannot be properly carried out."

Chu Weiyue nodded, agreeing with him.

Wen Jingchi walked forward with Wen Chenxuan, and Chu Weiyue and other female relatives followed behind Wen Chenxuan and others.

Although the other princes had no sense of existence, as descendants of the royal family, they were still with Wen Jingchi and others.

The scene was grand, fully displaying the royal style.

Many princes came to burn incense, and then it was the turn of Chu Weiyue and other female relatives.

Wait until they have finished offering incense and then start the final incense ceremony.

Wen Chenxuan held a very long cigarette, knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly, muttering nothing but some words wishing for good weather and good harvests.

Chu Weiyue snorted from below, "He usually does all kinds of things to bully the people, but now he looks so pious. If you don't know him, you might think he is a loyal believer."

The people next to him actually heard what Chu Weiyue said, but they didn't dare to say anything.

After the prayer, Wen Chenxuan came to the host respectfully.

He needs to hand the incense to the master host, and the host will insert the incense into the huge incense burner, and the ceremony will be completed successfully.

The host took the cigarette and suddenly smashed it hard into Wen Chenxuan's face.

Wen Chenxuan gasped, and his energy and blood stagnated in an instant.

He didn't have time to react and the incense hit him right on the chin.

The severe pain made him cry out in pain, and he immediately swung his fists to fight back.

This assassin was very skilled and kicked Wen Chenxuan far away with one kick.

He drew out the hidden sword from his body and stabbed it hard into his heart.

Wen Jingchi stood at the closest distance to him, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Wen Chenxuan.

Upon seeing this, the other guards hurried over to help.

The assassin was highly skilled in martial arts and was evenly matched with Wen Jingchi.

Only when the guards rushed forward did they show signs of retreat.

With so many people besieging one person, he would naturally be no match for them.

But he has only one target, and that is Wen Chenxuan!

Wen Chenxuan was surrounded by many people at this time, including the imperial physician and others, so he couldn't get close to them at all.

In a short period of time, he couldn't deal with Wen Jingchi and others...

I gritted my teeth and turned around to run away.

Wen Jingchi took the guard's sword and threw it hard at his body, and the sword hit his abdomen.
