Novel Bin Chapter 208 - Break All Your Bones
Chapter 208: Break All Your Bones
After Xiang Feiyan entered the palace, Su Wen walked out of the courtyard and stretched his back.
Xiang Sheng suddenly ran over and glared at Su Wen.
“My mother went to your room yesterday!”
The little boy was furious.
Su Wen smiled and nodded. “That’s right.”
“What did you do to her?” Su Wen saw that Xiang Sheng’s hand was already on his sword.
Su Wen deliberately said, “I did everything I could!”
“Die!”
Xiang Sheng attacked again!
Unfortunately, the difference between the two of them was like the difference between the heavens and the earth.
Su Wen casually flicked his hand and the sword flew away.
The web between Xiang Sheng’s thumb and index finger split open and was covered in blood.
He waved his fist angrily as he rushed towards Su Wen once again.
Bang!
Su Wen punched squarely at his abdomen.
The powerful impact made the child kneel on the ground.
He looked up and gritted his teeth. “I’m going to kill you one day.”
Su Wen squatted down and looked at the child in front of him.
Perhaps they could no longer be called children. In this era, some children of their age were already married and already had their own children.
Su Wen smiled and said, “Do you know that there are two things in the world that you can’t change? The first is the weather, and the second is that your mother will get married sooner or later. Even if your mother doesn’t like me, she might still fall in love with someone else in the future. Or do you want to see your mother be alone for the rest of her life?”
“I must kill you!” Xiang Sheng gritted his teeth.
Su Wen patted his face with a smile and shook his head. “Then you have to cultivate well. With your current standards, you can’t even touch me!”
With that said, he stood up and left, shouting, “Zhao Jin, prepare the carriage!”
Su Wen planned to have a tour in the capital of Great Chu today.
The streets were still considered bustling. Although it was less extravagant than Zhou Country, there were still quite a few people.
However, what Su Wen had on himself was pure hard silver.
After all, the Zhou Country’s banknotes were like useless paper in Chu.
“Young Master, look at the lady boss who sells buns…”
“Not bad!”
“Young Master, look at that lady…”
“Your eyes are so sharp, Brother Jin.”
The two of them drove the carriage and chatted as they toured. It was a rare leisure time.
“Stop!” Suddenly, a person stood in front of the carriage and stopped Zhao Jin!
“Can’t you see the dividing line here? The carriage can’t go this way!” That person berated sternly.
Su Wen smiled. Great Chu actually had people who followed the traffic rules and maintained traffic.
Su Wen stretched out his hand… and a silver ingot of 50 taels appeared in his hand.
The man was stunned…
Looking around, he quickly stepped forward… and reached out to take the silver.
“Well… Your Excellency… you really go through this…”
Su Wen stretched out his hand again and there was another silver ingot inside.
“Sir, please come this way. I have a colleague in front. When the time comes, you can say that Zhang San asked you to go over…”
Su Wen reached out his hand again…
The man took a deep breath and put the silver into his bosom with a slight tremble. “Sir, I will be on duty every day. I will remember your carriage… Don’t worry, as long as I am on duty, these brothers will not stop you…”
Su Wen stretched out his hand again… looking at the silver in Su Wen’s hand. That person took a deep breath and tried to steady his voice.
“Why don’t I sing for my lord? I don’t know anything else…”
Su Wen smiled and said to Zhao Jin, “Let’s go in another direction.”
Zhao Jin drove the carriage to the other side.
Great Chu and the Great Zhou were still somewhat different, be it in terms of local culture or the way people thought.
After touring for a while, Zhao Jin found a remote place. He directly opened the portal door and returned to the capital of the Great Zhou.
Now, everyone was already used to his return.
Su Wen and Xie Yiyi boarded the carriage together.
He wanted to look for Wu Muyu, but it was not convenient for him to do so. Therefore, he planned to ask Xie Yiyi for help.
The two of them boarded the carriage. Xie Yiyi smiled and said, “Husband, you are too busy. You have to travel back and forth between the two countries.”
Su Wen smiled. “What can I do? I miss you guys.”
Xie Yiyi, who had cultivated the Nine Heaven Incense, now exuded a faint fragrance from her body. Furthermore, her appearance had gotten even more charming.
Not only that, her strength also recovered rapidly, and was showing signs of breakthrough.
This cultivation technique was simply too suitable for her.
Xie Yiyi led Su Wen to Wu Muyu’s residence before using an excuse to invite the little girl out.
When Wu Muyu boarded the carriage and saw Su Wen, she was immediately overjoyed and plunged into his embrace.
Xie Yiyi did not disturb them and allowed them to have some alone time.
Su Wen also learned from Wu Muyu that Wu Kunhu and Wu Lie were already at the front line. Lu Zhen was still giving a lot of pressure to Great Zhou.
By the time Su Wen returned from the capital of Great Zhou, the sky was already dark.
In the Royal Palace of Chu, Xiang Feiyan also saw Emperor Chu.
“Royal Father!” Seeing Emperor Chu and seeing her usually heroic father so weak, Xiang Feiyan cried out. While some of it was false, there were truly some true emotions mixed in.
However, her acting skills were at least not bad. No one could tell what was going on in her mind.
She threw himself on the couch where the Emperor reclined and wept. Even Emperor Chu felt his heart ache.
In the end, among so many children, only this eldest daughter was able to achieve the goal of seeing him. It was impossible for him to not feel emotional.
“What’s wrong? Did you suffer?” Emperor Chu asked softly.
It seemed like he was concerned about her, but he was actually setting a trap. If Xiang Feiyan really attacked the other princes now, his impression of this daughter would definitely change.
When Xiang Feiyan heard this, she almost subconsciously wanted to criticize the Crown Prince.
However, she recalled Su Wen’s words.
Don’t think about doing anything…
She wailed, “My daughter being unable to see Father is the greatest grievance! Royal Father, you haven’t seen us all these days. Do you know how anxious my brothers and sisters and I are?”
Xiang Feiyan looked at Emperor Chu and said emotionally, “I still remember when I was young, Royal Father would always bring me out to play and carry me around for the whole day. But now…”
The more she spoke, the more tears fell from Xiang Feiyan’s eyes.
Even Emperor Chu sighed with emotion.
Things remained the same, but people had changed.
At the end of one’s life, perhaps all that was left was memories…
The two of them reminisced about the past…
Xiang Feiyan could tell that Emperor Chu was a little tired and hurriedly said, “If Royal Father is not feeling well, I will take my leave first. I just hope that Father can let me see Father these few days…”
As she spoke, tears fell once again.
Emperor Chu nodded and said softly, “Go down… You can enter once every three days from now on…”
Xiang Feiyan kowtowed several times, before slowly retreating.
Emperor Chu sighed and said, “Fourth Grandpa, what do you think of my daughter?”
A young man appeared and grabbed Emperor Chu’s wrist to help him pass through a wave of True Qi. Emperor Chu was basically relying on the vitality of a Heaven Rank expert to extend his life.
He smiled slightly and said, “Whether it’s good or bad, you can evaluate it yourself. What does it have to do with me?”
Emperor Chu said faintly, “You are, after all, the ancestor of my Great Chu Royal Family. Amongst these children, I have to choose someone outstanding. Every generation has been like this.”
The young man sighed and said, “There are many types of outstanding performances. That depends on what kind of person you want to choose. In the end, it’s up to your heart.”
Emperor Chu stopped talking and closed his eyes.
On the other side, news had already spread!
Bang!
The Crown Prince slapped the table and said hatefully, “This damned woman! Do you really think I can’t tell what she’s thinking? She’s expressing her loyalty to Royal Father! Showing her filial piety!”
An old man with a calm expression said in a deep voice, “Then what does Your Highness plan to do?”
The Crown Prince frowned. “Learn from her?”
The old man shook his head and sighed. “For such a matter, the first person to do it is a smart person. The second person to do it is a stupid person. If someone were to learn the same thing now, they would definitely obtain nothing. Your Majesty is strong and suspicious. This first person might be able to move Your Majesty. but the second person will definitely be suspected by Your Majesty.”
“Right now, the Crown Prince has to respond to all changes by remaining unchanged. He must not make any rash moves and make no mistakes. The longer the Emperor delays, the more beneficial it will be for the Crown Prince.”
The Crown Prince was stunned. He gritted his teeth and said, “But I’ve already sent people out!”
Su Wen returned to the Eldest Princess’s residence.
However, he realized that Xiang Sheng had run off somewhere. After asking around, he realized that he had gone out to meet his friends.
After pondering for a moment, Su Wen asked for the location and did not take the carriage to meet up with Zhao Jin.
In the Great Chu Restaurant, Xiang Sheng was currently drinking with someone.
This could be considered his best friend.
At this moment, they had already reached the end of the banquet. Both of them were intoxicated.
They bid each other farewell, before Xiang Sheng got into the carriage!
“F*ck! Bastard, when I become stronger, I’ll definitely kill that bastard. If he dares to touch my mother, I’ll definitely kill him!”
The carriage slowly drove towards the Princess’ residence.
Suddenly, Xiang Sheng, who was in the carriage, felt the carriage stop.
It was as if something had fallen to the ground.
He lifted the curtain in front of him and was immediately dumbfounded. He saw that the coachman was only left with a headless corpse sitting in front of him.
His head was already rolling far away, a big pair of eyes staring back at him.
“Ah!” Xiang Sheng screamed in fright and quickly retreated into the car.
He held the sword and carefully listened to the surroundings. However, he realized that there was no one around, but he did not dare to move.
He did not know that just as the accident happened, Su Wen and Zhao Jin were watching coldly from afar. A man in black had killed the coachman and left.
In the Crown Prince’s residence, the Crown Prince said, “I got someone to invite Xiang Sheng, before sending someone to teach him a lesson and warn my sister, so that she won’t have any thoughts that she shouldn’t have.”
Hearing the Crown Prince’s words, the old man frowned and said, “If that’s the case, it’s not a big deal. After all, it’s just a warning.”
However, he never expected Su Wen to smile when he saw this scene.
“Zhao Jin, break all the bones in Xiang Sheng’s body!”
Zhao Jin didn’t hesitate at all. He placed a piece of cloth over his face and charged forward!
At this moment, Xiang Sheng still did not know what to do!
Zhao Jin landed in front of his carriage, opened the door, and knocked him down with a punch. Immediately after, he was beaten up!
Xiang Sheng screamed in pain!
On the other side, Su Wen had already chased after the assassin.
That person’s cultivation was not low, 8th Grade Earth Rank!
However, his speed was far inferior to Su Wen’s.
In just a moment, Su Wen caught up to him.
He felt someone behind him and turned around to see that Su Wen had already sprinted over like an arrow.
His speed was fast beyond comparison!
Bang!
That person’s eyes widened!
He flew straight out!
Who was this person? How could he not even withstand a single move?
Too powerful!
“Crrrkt!”
He landed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Su Wen went forward and grabbed the assassin.
He picked him up and coldly smiled.
“Who are you?” Su Wen asked.
That person remained silent.
When Su Wen saw his stance, he did not interrogate him and merely sealed all the acupoints on his body.
He carried him back to the carriage. At this time, Zhao Jin was already gone, leaving Xiang Sheng lying on the ground unconscious.
Su Wen coldly said, “You brat, how dare you assassinate the princess’ son? Just wait for your death!”
That person’s face was ashen, but he still remained silent.
Su Wen brought him back to the princess’s residence.
When Xiang Feiyan returned to the princess’s residence and heard that Xiang Sheng’s bones had been broken and he was on the verge of death, she immediately became like a tigress that had its hair pulled, her eyes filled with killing intent!
After entering the backyard, she saw Su Wen and the assassin!
She said coldly, “Mister, are you failing your duty as a guard?”
Su Wen smiled. “No! Isn’t this the murderer? I’ve already captured him for you!”
“But Xiang Sheng is injured!” Xiang Feiyan gritted her teeth. If it were an ordinary guard, she would have already drawn her sword and chopped off that person’s head.
Su Wen looked at her and said softly, “I told someone to do it. I was the one who got someone to beat Xiang Sheng up!”
Both Xiang Feiyan and the assassin widened their eyes.
One had to know that this assassin was also very confused.
He was also wondering why Xiang Sheng was severely injured when he was captured even though he did not make a move.
Xiang Feiyan looked at Su Wen and gritted her teeth. “What do you mean?”
Su Wen smiled and said, “If you want to seize the throne, apart from showing off your talents, you have to annihilate your opponent. Guess who sent this assassin today?”
“I don’t know…” Xiang Feiyan looked at the assassin and said in a deep voice,” Only through torture and interrogation can you obtain something. But why did you injure my son? ”
Su Wen smiled and said, “You just met your father today. If you turn around and complain to him, I’m afraid he will become suspicious. Hence, there’s not much difference between interrogating him or not.”
Su Wen continued, “If you can’t bear to part with a child, you won’t be able to catch the wolf! Xiang Sheng was beaten until all his bones were broken. Although he will suffer a little, don’t worry. My men know their limits! They will definitely not endanger his life and he will make a full recovery. He will only suffer a little. However, because he was beaten up on the streets, this news can’t be hidden from others. You don’t have to complain to your father… He will definitely know.”
Xiang Feiyan gradually understood. “You mean to instigate Royal Father to investigate?”
Su Wen smiled and said, “That’s right. Sometimes, you don’t have to complain. On the contrary, if you complain, even if you have evidence, if the backer of the assassin is the Crown Prince, do you think your father will cripple him? I’m afraid not!”
Xiang Feiyan was silent. She knew all too well that as long as the Crown Prince had the chance to shirk responsibility, it was impossible for her to bring down the Crown Prince with this matter.
“Then why did you capture this assassin?”
Xiang Feiyan was confused.
“I told you to kill him. Kill him, chop his face into pieces, and throw him out. Then, we’ll forget about this matter!”
Xiang Feiyan looked deeply at Su Wen.
“You want me to show my magnanimity in front of Father?”
“No, it’s to sacrifice for the country!” Su Wen smiled. “This is to show that you understand the bigger picture, and that you’re showing filial piety.”
The next day, many people heard the news that Xiang Feiyan’s son, Xiang Sheng, had been beaten until his bones shattered. Xiang Feiyan had to hire several famous doctors from the capital overnight to save Xiang Sheng’s life.
Xiang Feiyan had personally killed the assassin, chopped his face into pieces, and sent him out of the city to be buried!
In the Crown Prince’s residence, the Crown Prince frowned!
He was not worried about the death of an assassin, but this assassin did not follow his instructions.
In front of him, the old man grumbled, “Your Highness, didn’t you say that you were only sending someone to warn him? Why was Xiang Sheng beaten until all his bones shattered?”
The crown prince said helplessly, “How would I know? I really just told him to kill a coachman to scare the child and my sister!”
The old man slightly doubted the authenticity of his words, but he was unable to question him. He could only sigh and say, “In this way, if His Majesty hears of it, I’m afraid…”
“What can I do? That guy doesn’t dare to reveal my role anyway, and he’s already dead!” The Crown Prince said indifferently, “The dead cannot testify. Even if Xiang Feiyan goes to complain, my Royal Father will definitely turn a blind eye.”
The old man sighed. “I hope so.”
In the Chu Emperor Palace, Xiang Feiyan paid her respects as usual and left as usual without saying anything.
This surprised Emperor Chu.
After the princes and princesses left…
In front of him knelt a man in black.
Emperor Chu asked softly, “Was Xiang Sheng really beaten up yesterday?”
“That’s right. Several famous doctors from the capital went and fought extremely miserably to bring him back from death. All the bones in his body were shattered and he almost lost his life! It was all thanks to the experts from the Eldest Princess’s residence arriving and capturing that assassin that he was still able to preserve his life.”
Emperor Chu asked again, “And where’s the assassin?”
“He was killed by the Eldest Princess. His face was chopped up and buried in an unmarked grave.”
Emperor Chu closed his eyes. “Whose man was that?”
“It should be the Crown Prince.”
“Hmph! You useless thing. How can you be so ruthless to your nephew?!” Emperor Chu cursed.
He sighed and said, “However, the fact that Feiyan didn’t tell me was out of my expectations. By chopping up the assassin’s face, it means that she doesn’t want to investigate and doesn’t want others to investigate… Is she afraid? Or what?”
He muttered, “This child originally had a strong personality. Although she was a woman, she had ambitions. She even let Sheng’er take the surname Xiang because she wanted to compete. However, she was a woman after all, and her breadth of mind and bearing could not compare to a man’s. From the looks of it, that might not be the case!”
A day later, Xiang Feiyan met Emperor Chu again.
“Father! I specially made some soup for you this time… drink it while it’s hot. Don’t let it get cold. I remember that you like this pork bone soup the most.”
This time, Xiang Feiyan brought a food bento with her.
As for Xiang Sheng’s beating, it was as if it had never happened.
She scooped up the pork bone soup and handed it over respectfully.
Emperor Chu picked it up and took a sip, before casually asking, “I heard that something happened to Sheng’er?”
Xiang Feiyan was stunned for a moment before forcing a smile. “Father must have heard wrongly. What can happen to Sheng’er?”
“I heard that Sheng’er is injured…”
Xiang Feiyan shook her head. “It’s not a big injury. He’ll be fine after resting for a few days…”
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk more, Emperor Chu continued to drink his soup in peace.
Xiang Feiyan started chatting with Emperor Chu, but they only talked about the interesting things in the capital and the government.
Xiang Feiyan smiled as she described the outside, “Now that my Great Chu is at peace, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. It’s all the merits that Royal Father has worked hard for decades… It’s always good to pursue stability.”
Hearing this, a trace of relief flashed across Emperor Chu’s eyes. He seemed to understand Xiang Feiyan’s thoughts..
