But if there is a real battle with the Xue family, he will stand on Liu Chen's side without hesitation and will never waver in any way.
"Brother Chen, I understand, I will arrange for someone to release the news now!"
Xu Jing said quickly.
His efficiency was indeed very fast. Within ten minutes after Liu Chen called him, the news that Xue Yuanba, the fifth prince of the Xue family, had died in Shangjing spread throughout Shangjing.
Immediately after this news came out, the pressure suddenly came to Xue Yuankang's side.
It also caused an uproar on the Internet.
For ordinary people, the royal family is beyond the reach of the horizon, and Xue Yuanba is still the most likely heir to become the king of the Xue family.
Obviously, the discussion in recent times will be on the topic of Xue Yuanba's death.
At this time, in a private manor in King Xue City, an old man with gray hair and a Tang suit was sitting in an ancient style building.
Opposite him was the same old man with gray hair, dressed in simple cloth. There was a wooden chess table made of rare and expensive wood between them.
The two of them were playing chess and were enjoying themselves.
But the servants who suddenly broke in at this time ruined their leisurely elegance, "King Xue, something bad happened! Bad news came from Shangjing. The fifth prince died in Shangjing!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the old man in Tang suit who had been playing chess with the old man in plain clothes with a smile on his face suddenly disappeared and his face became gloomy.
The old man in Tang Yi stood up immediately, grabbed the servant's neck, and lifted him up from the ground.
"Who did you say died? My son Xue Yuanba?"
King Xue's voice was extremely cold, as if falling into an ice cave, and like the biting cold winter.
The eyes of the servant who was being strangled were full of fear. He opened his mouth to speak, but could only make a squeaking sound. His face turned red, and the suffocation caused by lack of oxygen left only fear.
King Xue then shook him off and motioned for him to report the situation.
"It's... His Highness Xue Yuanba, the fifth prince. This matter has been spread all over the capital. There are rumors that the fifth prince just died in a power dispute. There are also rumors that the fifth prince died at the hands of... the third prince."
The servant knelt on the ground helplessly, and while breathing heavily, he told all the information he knew.
"boom!"
As soon as the servant finished reporting the situation, he was slapped to death by the gloomy-looking King Xue. His eyes widened, his pupils shrank, he vomited blood, and his body fell to the ground without breathing.
The old man who was playing chess with King Xue also looked serious.
King Xue sat back and closed his eyes tightly. After a moment, he opened his eyes again and ordered in a cold voice, "Go and find out the cause of Yuanba's death!"
The servants waiting nearby quickly left.
As luck would have it, King Xue couldn't calm down and his cell phone rang. It was Xue Yuankang calling.
"Father, it was my incompetence that failed to protect my fifth brother, and he was poisoned by a gangster. I ask my father to punish me!"
As soon as King Xue answered the phone, he heard Xue Yuankang's voice pleading for mercy on the other end. His voice was extremely sad, as if he was really sad.
"If it hadn't been for the news from Shangjing, I really wouldn't have known that Yuanba was dead. If you called me at this time, you probably knew that I had learned this information, so you came to apologize, right?"
King Xue's voice was extremely cold. Although he did not show any obvious anger, the air pressure in King Xue's city seemed to have dropped several degrees at this moment.
Even through the phone, his voice still made Xuan Kang feel extremely frightened and trembled all over.
King Xue has five sons. Excluding the other three sons, the most competitive heirs are Xue Yuanba and Xue Yuankang, who are most likely to become King Xue's heirs.
The dispute between Xue Yuanba and Xue Yuankang started when they were young, and they never dealt with each other. Each used many methods against the other.
Of course King Xue knew about this, but he chose to turn a blind eye and never asked about it.
The right to inherit the royal family is not that easy to obtain. Only after going through hardships, even at any cost, will the final winner be the heir to the royal power.
But these things are not the point, but no matter how cruel the method is, one should not harm siblings.
"Please calm down, father! The murderer has not been eliminated, and I feel uneasy, let alone reporting it to my father. It's not that I want to hide it."
Xue Yuankang explained quickly, and then said: "I will definitely make the murderer pay a heavy price and sacrifice the soul of my fifth brother with blood!"
