Chapter 432: Chunyu Dong
“Really?”
Lu Zhou sneered. “Lan Yi, go back and think carefully. Do you want to come back or follow that person?”
As he spoke, he did not look at the duo anymore and walked past them to go upstairs.
Shangguan Dian looked at Lan Yi and sighed softly. He shook his head helplessly.
Lan Yi lowered his eyes and remained silent.
“Lan Yi, don’t listen to him. If he really has you in his heart, why would he ignore you when you were suffering from the lightning tribulation?”
Lan Yi smiled bitterly. “You’re right. If not for Lord Chunyu, I would have died long ago.”
“Let’s go! Master is still waiting for us.”
As if afraid that Lan Yi would return, Qing Yi couldn’t care less what Lu Zhou and the rest were doing here. He hurriedly pulled Lan Yi away.
At this moment, in the room of Tian Zi Number One.
Lu Sheng looked suspiciously at Lu Zhou. “Master, are you alright?”
Lu Zhou’s expression did not seem right.
Chu Sihan said coldly, “Uncle-Master Lu, you must have met an old friend, right?”
“Eh?”
Shangguan Dian was surprised. “How did you know?”
Chu Sihan smiled faintly and said, “That person seemed to have been here just now.”
Lu Sheng was confused, and General Tang did not understand a word.
“Lord, are you referring to the two young men from earlier?”
Young men?
Chu Sihan smiled lightly and nodded. “I think so.”
Lu Sheng blinked and looked at Lu Zhou again. “Master, could one of them be your illegitimate son?”
Lu Zhou was speechless.
How capable must he be to give birth to an ancient Mythical Beast?
“Pfft—”
It took Shangguan Dian a while to react, and the tea in his mouth sprayed onto the ground.
“Cough, cough —”
He coughed heavily a few times before looking at Lu Sheng. “Little niece, you have such a rich imagination.”
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that so?”
“Don’t make wild guesses.”
Lu Zhou glanced at her helplessly and asked the silent General Tang, “This is…”
Lu Sheng quickly introduced, “This is General Tang.”
General Tang did not know who this person was, but seeing Chu Sihan address him as ‘Uncle-Master,’ he knew that this person’s ident.i.ty was not simple.
Hence, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian.
Lu Zhou looked at Chu Sihan and heard him say lightly, “He knows where the weapons are made.”
“I see!”
Lu Zhou nodded and asked faintly, “Was the Crown Prince the mastermind?”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Who else?”
There were only five princes left in the entire Xuan Yue Country.
However, two of them were either weak or blind. Only three were qualified to take the throne.
One was the Crown Prince, one was the Eldest Prince, and the other was Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou was not the original Lu Zhou, so he was naturally not interested in the throne.
As for the Eldest Prince, although he was ambitious, he was a little soft-hearted. He could not abandon his citizens for the throne.
Speaking of which, the reason why the Eldest Prince had such a personality was largely related to his mother, Concubine Xiang.
Concubine Xiang was a commoner. However, because of her outstanding looks, she was chosen by the Emperor, who was still the Crown Prince back then, and was brought into the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
It could be said that among the many concubines, besides the Third Prince’s mother, Concubine An, the Emperor doted on this Concubine Xiang the most.
That was the reason why the Eldest Prince was still alive today.
Otherwise, with the Empress’s methods, the Eldest Prince would have been destroyed before he was even born.
As for the Third Prince, that was purely an accident.
At that time, the Empress had just given birth to the Crown Prince and her maternal family was gradually declining. Hence, the Empress wanted to pull Concubine An, who had a rich family background, into her camp.
On the other hand, Concubine An was a smart person. For the sake of the child in her stomach, she had pretended to be weak in front of the Empress for several years.
During this period, the Empress also received some benefits from her. However, they were all small benefits. Before the big ones could be tasted, Concubine An pa.s.sed away due to illness.
Of course, although the Empress did not expect Concubine An to die, it was a pleasant surprise.
Hence, after Concubine An was buried, she could not wait to beg the Emperor to let her raise the Third Prince.
Who knew that the Empress Dowager would appear out of nowhere?
In the end, not only did the wealth of the An family not fall into her pockets, but even the Third Prince ignored her and the Crown Prince.
“That’s true.”
Lu Zhou smiled faintly. “Other than that idiot, no one should be stupid enough to transport weapons from Huang Yang Town to the capital openly.”
“Isn’t Chunyu Dong one of his men?” Shangguan Dian asked curiously. “Why didn’t the Crown Prince send the weapons from Yang Cheng Mansion to the capital?”
One had to know that almost everyone from Huang Yang Town to Lin Jiang Mansion was on the Eldest Prince’s side.
Was he taking a risk?
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “I think Chunyu Dong suggested this himself, right?”
Others might not know who Chunyu Dong was, but how could he not understand?
How was it different from asking a tiger for its skin if the Crown Prince, that fool, wanted to collaborate with Chunyu Dong?
He would not even know what happened if Chunyu Dong killed him.
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows. “From Master’s words, he seems to be very familiar with Chunyu Dong?”
“Isn’t that so?”
Shangguan Dian smiled and said, “Speaking of which, he’s still your Uncle-Master.”
“Uncle-Master?”
Lu Sheng frowned. Wasn’t her Uncle-Master the King of Hades? Why was there another Chunyu Dong?
How many masters did her master have?
Lu Zhou sneered. “Not anymore.”
It was unknown if he sounded disappointed or not, but Lu Sheng could feel a sense of loss in his master’s tone.
General Tang sat at the side, his heart trembling.
Who were these people?
Why did they look so disdainful when they mentioned the Crown Prince?
Furthermore, they had interacted with Chunyu Dong!
Did he accidentally enter the Immortal camp?
“Oh right.”
Lu Zhou looked at Chu Sihan and asked, “When do we set off tonight?”
“As soon as possible.”
If they were later and those people moved their remaining weapons elsewhere, it would be more troublesome.
“In the afternoon.”
Lu Zhou said calmly, “They probably won’t dare to do anything during the day.”
Chu Sihan nodded. “Okay.”
General Tang looked at Chu Sihan. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly stood up and knelt down.
His action shocked Lu Sheng.
Chu Sihan frowned slightly but did not say anything. He only looked at him indifferently.
General Tang said in embarra.s.sment, “Lord, can you let me leave after this matter is over? Don’t worry, I won’t return to the Crown Prince!”
From their conversation, he knew that the people who supported the Eldest Prince were all capable people.
Moreover, they seemed to know everything about the Crown Prince. It would be very difficult for the Crown Prince to succeed in usurping the throne!
Chu Sihan’s thumb traced the edge of the teacup and he said lightly, “If you can make amends for your mistake, I will naturally consider letting you go. If you can’t… bear the consequences yourself.”
His meaning was obvious. As long as he brought them to the place where weapons were created obediently, he would consider letting him go. If he deliberately tricked them, there would only be death.
