The queen has great power: I will decide who will be the emperor

Chapter 599 The Dusty Secret ([-])
"...You asked me to find out the things, just to make me doubt him, and then decide my position?"

"I just wanted to find evidence, and I didn't intend to drag you into the water," Xia Houche looked up at him, "But I'm not afraid that you will find out, otherwise I'll make a trip myself, and I won't let you find these things."

"You don't trust me, but you believe that I won't betray you for the safety of that little girl?"

"Yes." Xia Houche admitted generously.

Wenren didn't mind his answer, otherwise he wouldn't trust people casually at such a time, "Do you really doubt him? When did you start?"

"This is my business," Xia Houche looked at him, "What you should do now is pretend you don't know anything."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and the two men looked at each other silently.

"You...will kill him?"

Xiahou Che didn't answer, but it was considered acquiescence.

Wen Ren smiled wryly, "Your reaction is really calm."

"If you want to help him, I'll kill you too." Xia Houche's voice was calm and unwavering, "I won't let anyone who wants to harm Xiaoyou live in this world, and he doesn't deserve my sympathy."

"...I'm not afraid of you killing me," Wenren closed his eyes, as if he had made some major decision, "but I won't help him. You're right, he doesn't deserve my sympathy."

The room was quiet for a while, Wenren's voice returned to normal, and he talked about other things.

"It's impossible to find out just by asking. Just arrest the Emperor of Snow Country and force him to tell the legend."

"This legend must be very important, even if tortured, he might not be able to tell it."

Xia Houche didn't mention Lingshen's master anymore, they had already reached a conclusion on that matter.

"Then what should we do? We will arrive at Taihu Lake in a day and a half. Are you going to go there in such a daze?"

"That's the only way to go right now, as long as you look after Lingshen and don't let her be abducted again."

"Then you must be careful."

"Don't worry, I know," Xia Houche paused, and asked him, "Uncle, do you know anything about Miao Jiang?"

Wen Ren frowned, "It's the things in the legend, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just curious."
