His Majesty's Hostage

ZiLi’s outburst of anger finally made the other two pay attention to him. But when he met Hong Xu's malevolent and dangerous gaze, the courage 1 he had just moments ago immediately vanished.

ZiLi swallowed his saliva. This man is hella scary! But anyway, I am safe for the time being! But what about the future?

*Sweats*

I’ll have to figure something out when I get back to my palace!

After Hong Xu told him he could go, ZiLi immediately got up and quickly put on his clothes and before he had wrapped his belt around himself, he pulled open the door and fled the scene as if being chased by a ghost.

Hong Xu could be the Emperor of Chu Jing who would take revenge on his enemies for a trifle 6 and make them tremble with fear with just his name 7 , or he could be an Emperor who could make all his subjects be silent out of fear 8 as soon as his mood deteriorated. But when faced with his simple-minded younger brother 9 of the same mother, he could only be an indulgent and loving older brother 10 . So, he could tolerate all his younger brother's shortcomings and ignore all his disrespectful behavior. It is because of his habit of being lenient to his younger brother that his younger brother was now so unconstrained. Therefore, when Hong Qing was blocking his path and tugging his robe, Hong Xu could only pull him away in irritation and utter the sentence, “How impudent.”

“Oh, a split happened in their country, and you were just sightseeing!” Once again, dark lines appeared on Hong Xu’s forehead as he looked at Hong Qing, who did not immediately get to the point, as if he wanted to scold him.

Hong Qing stopped messing around and began to continue in a serious tone, “The people we had deployed to Bei Ling's court have done their job. I’ve had them split into two factions to join the forces of either the King of Bei Ling or the First Prince, An JinLuo, and then let them fan the flames 12 to increase the level of hostility between the two factions. Now, major cracks already have appeared in the political situation of the royal family of Bei Ling, and the body of the King of Bei Ling is also getting worse day by day. An JinLuo has already started purging the other princes for the throne. At this moment, only An JinYu, the Third Prince of Bei Ling, who is imprisoned in our country as a Hostage Prince, still has a chance to compete with him for the throne. The King of Bei Ling has also remembered that the Third Prince is still in our country, so he deliberately sent a group of emissaries under the pretext of a visit, to rescue him. It is estimated that this group will arrive in half a month.”

After Hong Xu listened, he said nothing. He had already guessed this from the reports of the spies. However, Hong Qing’s story did bring one thing to his attention, Being able to remove the other six princes in such a short time, An JinLuo is not as simple as he seems!

But even if he was powerful, that would not be a problem in Hong Xu's eyes, because he had a trump card in his hand. And he, the player, will use this chess piece perfectly to get Bei Ling in his pocket without bloodshed 13 !

Thinking of this, Hong Xu finally showed a cold smile.
