Xia Yuanlong, who just a moment ago had his eyes lowered while reviewing the memorial, could there be any trace of laziness in his expression when he heard this?
Even the eunuch Li Zongming who was waiting beside him couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The palace official buried his head lower, his body lying on the ground trembling uncontrollably.
But His Majesty asked, even if he knew that the other party had actually heard it clearly, he had to bite the bullet and repeat it again: "Back to Your Majesty, the soul jade sent by General Chen Zangfeng to Shenwu Palace will be released in a quarter of an hour.
Before, it suddenly collapsed."
In a state of ups and downs, the King of Daxia's right hand holding the pen unconsciously increased its strength, and there was a crisp "crack" sound, and the fine dragon bone stone penholder immediately broke into two pieces...
"Take Gu Gu to see it immediately!"
"As you command!"
…
At the same time, Chen Mansion, Grand Elder's Residence, and Secret Room.
Chen Jinyang threw the broken soul jade on the table and laughed up to the sky: "Hahahahaha! Chen Zangfeng, an old man, finally died!"
Both black and white were stunned, and then both looked ecstatic: "Seriously?"
"This is the soul-carrying jade that the old guy left for me before he sent out the army. If the jade breaks, the person will die. How can it be false?" Chen Jinyang smiled happily.
In fact, Black and White Shuangsha originally wanted to ask, is this soul jade really Chen Zangfeng's?
But then the two of them thought about it, why would Chen Jinyang lie about this kind of thing? If Chen Zangfeng is dead, he is dead, and if he is not dead, he is not dead. Making false news will not do Chen Jinyang himself any good.
Hei Sha slapped his thigh suddenly: "Excellent! Once Chen Zangfeng dies, Xia Yuanlong loses his arm. It's really gratifying!"
Bai Sha also nodded heavily: "It won't be long before the prince will be able to march north."
"Please both of you contact the prince as soon as possible. I am waiting for his next instructions." Chen Jinyang said excitedly.
When he thought about it, with just one word from Xia Chunqiu, he could release the news that Chen Zangfeng had been tricked and killed by the King of Great Xia.
With people's fearful words, people's anger is raging, and the military morale is shaken. It is almost foreseeable that when Chen Jinyang encourages the entire clan to evacuate the imperial capital and surrender to the King of Huainan, great things can be accomplished!
"Well, let's send a letter to Huainan. A close relative of the prince will ride on a griffin beast to deliver the letter. You can receive the prince's new decree in five days at most."
When Bai Sha said this, his old eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a gloomy tone: "While we are waiting for the news these days, the top priority for you and me is to kill Chen Shen as soon as possible."
"good!"
Heisha also echoed: "After all, that little beast has the title of the orthodox young master of the Chen family. If he comes out and interferes at the critical moment, it may cause trouble."
"Great Elder, it has been a week since you last said that Chen Shen had appeared outside the mansion. Don't you still have news about him?"
When talking about this topic, the joy on Chen Jinyang's face couldn't help but pause: "Yes, there are, but that little beast is very sneaky, and the places he goes to are bustling places with many people, such as
Teahouses, restaurants, oh yes, he even went back to the Imperial Capital School once."
"In this case, my people have no chance to take action!"
"Then just wait and see, there will always be a chance."
Heisha smiled secretly: "In the past, that little beast didn't have to return to the family. But now, hey...his grandfather is dead. As the only direct descendant of the Chen family and the descendant of the patriarch, he will definitely appear!"
Bai Sha nodded his head: "Yes! As long as he dares to return home, the Great Elder can think of some excuses to send him out of the city. Then you don't have to do it yourself. I and Heisha can let him die silently.
interest."
"In this way, you also have sufficient alibi. Even if someone in the Chen family suspects that his death is related to you, there is no evidence."
"But what if that little beast doesn't dare to come back?" Chen Jinyang's gray brows frowned slightly: "I always have a feeling that he has been deliberately avoiding me since he appeared in the imperial capital a week ago."
"It doesn't matter if you don't show up!"
The black man waved his hand in a loud voice: "His coming will have an impact on your right to speak in the Chen family. But if he doesn't dare to show up, the Chen family, from the elders to the servants, won't have to treat you like
Is the leader of the elders following his lead?"
"Besides, you will do it under the guise of avenging the old clan leader. The elder and the clan members will not abandon you."
"That's what I say, but... I can't cut that little beast Chen Shen into pieces with my own hands. It's still hard to vent the hatred in my heart!" The elder gritted his teeth.
When he thought about the death of his eldest son Chen Xiong at the hands of the other party, and when he thought about the prestige and reputation he had worked hard for decades to build up, but was ruined overnight because of a young boy like Chen Shen, Chen Jinyang became extremely angry.
.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. After my king ascends the throne, you will have plenty of opportunities for revenge." Bai Sha comforted him.
Chen Jinyang took a deep breath and nodded noncommittally.
…
Imperial Capital, Tianqibao Pavilion.
Chen Shen was refining elixirs, making talismans, and practicing mystical skills in the colorful sky and clouds. Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard Xiaobai's shouting in his ears: "Boss, come out quickly, your second uncle is coming menacingly."
"Second uncle? Are you aggressive?" Chen Shen was a little surprised, and with a quick thought, he left the realm of the secret key of time and space and returned to the real world.
As soon as he put the golden key into the space package, he heard an anxious call from outside the door: "Master, open the door quickly, I have something to ask for!"
"Come in."
A moment later, the door of the room opened wide. After Chen Xiaohai stepped in, he immediately locked the doors and windows, used a mysterious energy barrier, and then hurriedly said: "Shen'er, something bad happened. Your grandfather's soul jade is cracked.
!”
"What?"
Chen Shen was shocked, but he quickly calmed down: "Wait, did you say it was cracked? Or... broken?"
"Cracked, cracked but not broken, see for yourself!"
Chen Xiaohai gently placed the round piece of jade the size of a gold coin in his hand on the table, fearing that his movements would be too big and the cracked jade would be shattered.
The young man looked closely. With his eyesight, even if there was no light in the room, with the help of the dim moonlight, he could still see the dense cracks on the surface of the jade body.
After a short while, Chen Shen blurted out: "Huh... the soul jade often breaks into pieces and kills people. But this soul jade is only cracked, not broken. Think about it, my grandfather's life should be safe."
But for some unknown reason, the soul jade left by Chen Zangfeng to Chen Jinyang and the Shenwu Hall of the Imperial Palace exploded to pieces, while the one Chen Xiaohai took out was broken but still disconnected?
Chen Xiaohai said anxiously: "That's what I said, but the fact that the soul jade is cracked like this shows that the old man has been seriously injured! What if..."
