Chapter 277 Goodbye is for a better meeting

"Brother Dijiang, don't doubt Jiujiu. Remember what Jiujiu said." Jiujiu was very serious.

Dijiang nodded, "Got it."

"Thank you, Jiujiu."

This kind of secret cannot be told easily.

But Jiujiu told him without hesitation.

The meaning of Jiujiu should be what Emperor Zhaoning meant!

Western Chu had a great favor to him.

Dijiang remembered this great favor.

The next day, it rained heavily. There were almost no people on the road, and there were fewer guards on duty in the palace.

Dijiang did not stay long, nor did he say goodbye to anyone, because he had already said goodbye before and there was no need to say goodbye again.

He left silently.

After leaving the palace, he pulled back the galloping horse and turned his head to look at the palace for a long time.

His eyes were complicated and dark.

The heavy rain slid down the hat on his head, forming a rain curtain that blurred his vision.

He was all wet by the rain, but he did not leave in time. He just stared blankly at the palace.

Chu Yang said, "Your Highness, we should leave now. We should not stay here for long."

Di Jiang seemed not to hear it. He still looked at the palace with a little more anticipation in his eyes.

He seemed to be expecting someone or somewhere to show up.

Let him take one last look, just one last look.

Chu Yang urged: "Your Highness, the news of your return to the South Country must have spread back to the South Country. Those people in the South Country are watching you covetously and don't want you to go back."

"Once we leave the palace, we will no longer be protected by Xi Chu."

"If you don't leave now, you might be in danger."

Di Jiang still didn't speak, still staring at the palace.

“Ninety-nine…”

Dijiang saw Jiujiu. Although it was a little blurry and not very clear, he saw it and shouted excitedly.

Jiujiu was standing on the highest tower of the palace at this moment, waving at Dijiang and shouting, "Goodbye, Brother Dijiang."

Dijiang was too far away from Jiujiu and didn't hear anything, but he understood what Jiujiu meant.

He waved his hand and responded loudly: "Goodbye Jiujiu."

Goodbye is for a better meeting.

Jiujiu, see you next time. Brother Dijiang will definitely become even more upright.

After this last meeting, Dijiang and Chuyang left.

They rode their horses very fast and soon disappeared in the rain.

Behind them, there was a team of guards sent by Emperor Zhaoning, who escorted them away, which was like sending a Buddha to the west.

.

Southern country.

Prime Minister Dugu’s residence.

The Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom, Di Chaoyang, came to visit.

Dugu Tianxin was currently in a secret room, staring blankly at a spirit tablet with no words on it but offerings of incense.

Seeing that there was dust on the tablet, he carefully took it and gently wiped it with his handkerchief.

As he wiped it, he said, "Tianxin, this is the thirty-fifth year since you left me."

"I miss you so much."

His voice was choked up, as if he was about to cry.

Dugu Tianxin sniffed, hugged the tablet tightly in his hand, rubbed his face against it, and said, "If that hadn't happened, if you were still alive, we would have had many children and grandchildren. Unfortunately..."

Dugu Tianxin shook his head regretfully, tears falling. He wiped his tears, looked at the tablet in his arms, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Tianxin, can you come and see me in my dream?"

"You haven't appeared in my dreams for a long, long time."

"Are you blaming me for marrying someone else?"

"My mother threatened to hang herself and forced me to marry her, but I didn't want to. I really didn't want to."

"I was wrong."

"I admit my mistake."

"Will you come and see me?"

In the Southern Kingdom, Prime Minister Dugu is an authority who has the final say. He is always high above everyone else and always awe-inspiring, but that is not his true self.

At this moment, staying in this small secret room, sometimes crying, sometimes choking, and sometimes praying humbly, is the real him.

When the butler Lao Yu came to report that the Crown Prince had arrived, the tears on Dugu Tianxin's face had not yet dried.

Lao Yu also felt a little heartbroken. He sighed and said, "Sir, if the late Madam were still alive, she would definitely not want to see you like this."

Dugu Tianxin wiped her tears and said, "It's okay."

"Sir..." Lao Yu felt distressed.

How many more years will they continue to torture themselves like this?

For his late wife, he even changed his name. His original name was Dugu Lieyang, but now he is called Dugu Tianxin.

The late lady’s name was Xiao Tianxin.

After marrying his second wife, he never slept with her. His current pair of children were also conceived by his stepmother who drugged him.

He didn't want it.

He just wanted to torture himself like this until he died.

His days are like those of an ascetic monk.

With his fame and status, this shouldn't be the case!

"Master, why are you doing this?" Lao Yu also started to cry.

Dugu Tianxin put down the tablet in his hand, offered incense, came to Lao Yu, patted Lao Yu on the shoulder, and said, "Lao Yu, don't talk about this. Tell me why you suddenly came here to find me."

"The Crown Prince has come and said he has something important to discuss."

"Him!" Dugu Tianxin pinched his brows tiredly and said, "Go serve tea first, I'll be there soon."

"good."

Dugu Tianxin calmed down and when he recovered, he came to the front hall to meet Crown Prince Di Chaoyang.

Emperor Chaoyang was very respectful to this powerful prime minister. He nodded and said, "Father-in-law."

"It's too early." Dugu Tianxin reminded coldly. He didn't like this name very much.

"It's indeed a little early." Di Chaoyang said, "I haven't married Nian Shuang yet, but it will be soon."

Dugu Tianxin had nothing to say about this. He closed his eyes and looked a little impatient.

He didn't want to hear this.

Seeing this, Di Chaoyang didn't dare to say anything else. He talked about serious matters, "Prime Minister, I'm sure you've heard that Di Jiang will be back soon, and Emperor Zhaoning has sent a team of guards to escort him back to the South."

"What should we do?"

"We can't let him come back."

Over the years, Di Chaoyang has dealt with many people who posed a threat to his ascension to the throne, so he naturally would not let Di Jiang go.

How could Dugu Tianxin not understand Di Chaoyang's thoughts? He said, "Don't worry, Di Jiang won't come back."

"The Prime Minister is going to..."

Dugu Tianxin made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand, his eyes full of cruelty and ruthlessness, "Kill him, I will help Your Highness."

This is what Di Chaoyang wanted to hear. He nodded heavily and said, "Okay."

"Thank you Yue... No, thank you, Prime Minister."

After expressing his gratitude, the prince began to plan with Prime Minister Dugu the details of how to kill Di Jiang.
