Chapter 318 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze (Movie Version) 13
What exactly happened in the parallel world?
Why did the relationship between the brothers and their father become so tense?
Countless questions welled up in Xiao Ruojin's mind, but every answer made him uneasy.
If the Emperor truly intends to eliminate Ruofeng, then Ruofeng's situation will be extremely dangerous. And he himself will face the same crisis.
The large screen flickered with light and began scrolling lines of text.
[Previous context:]
The Prince of Qing, along with the Prince of Luoyu and several other princes, jointly accused Marquis Baili Luochen of treason. To uphold justice, Emperor Tai'an ordered seven senior officials from the Censorate to conduct a thorough investigation into the case.
Considering Baili Luochen's meritorious service in suppressing rebellions over the years, he was granted special permission to be spared immediate imprisonment and escorted to the capital by the Prince of Langya.
The moment Langya Prince Xiao Ruofeng led his Golden Guards out of the gates of Tianqi City, a storm brewed within the city. Countless eyes in the shadows turned to Jingyu Prince's Mansion, as if waiting for something.
The gears of fate have quietly started turning once again.
Countless people's life trajectories have been rewritten as a result...
"Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting!" Baili Luochen suddenly laughed.
Watching a movie is about events happening in a parallel world, but isn't it also a glimpse into the future of this world?
It seems his good friend finally made his move against him.
It's truly admirable that he's endured it for so many years.
"It seems His Majesty the Emperor couldn't hold back any longer." Baili Chengfeng sneered, his hand resting on the longsword at his waist, exuding a chilling killing intent.
Seeing this, Baili Luochen said to his son in a deep voice, "Chengfeng, continue watching."
Baili Chengfeng had no choice but to put down his long sword and instead swept his cold gaze over Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng, who could only respond with a wry smile.
This wasn't the first time the two had watched the film, and they already had a basic understanding of the various aspects of the parallel world. They understood that this time, Emperor Tai'an of the parallel world not only intended to target Marquis Zhenxi, but also the two of them.
But they couldn't very well say outright, "Our father not only wants to kill the Marquis of Zhenxi, but also wants to put us to death," could they?
"Junior Brother, you..." Baili Dongjun looked at Xiao Ruofeng with a complicated expression, but in the end he swallowed the rest of his words.
At this moment, the screen has been properly adjusted, and the picture slowly unfolds. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the story has begun.
However, although the main character of this movie is Baili Dongjun, he is not the first person to appear in the scene.
Inside the Prince Qing's Mansion.
The aroma of tea wafted through the air, and the steam blurred the faces of the two people in the hall.
"Is there any news from the south?" King Qing asked anxiously.
"Of course." King Luoyu's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Two experts at the half-step Divine Travel Realm and two experts at the Great Freedom Realm have been dispatched from the south. They have all arrived outside Tianqi City and are just waiting for the perfect moment to launch their attack. How are your preparations going?"
The Azure King's eyes instantly turned icy cold: "The people of the Dark River have already laid an ambush on the only road from Qian Dong City to Tian Qi City. In addition, I have secretly mobilized a local army as backup. Our operation this time is absolutely foolproof."
"We spared no effort in this operation, contacting the martial arts forces of Nanjue and Beili. We've given our all. If we still can't eliminate Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng, then we'll be the ones who die in the end." Luo Yu Wang's words carried a hint of determination.
The Azure King retorted firmly, "No, they are the ones who will die!"
...]
Outside Tianqi City, a storm is brewing.
The middle-aged scholar broke the silence first: "I never imagined that the internal strife in Beili would be so severe, with fathers killing sons and brothers slaughtering each other. However, this has given Nanjue a great opportunity; otherwise, if Xiao Ruojin had taken that position, Nanjue would have been in grave danger!"
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded slightly in agreement: "That's right, this operation must succeed; there is no room for failure."
The burly man burst into laughter, pulled a delicate little porcelain bottle from his pocket, and his eyes gleamed with confidence:
"Don't worry, with two of us at the half-step Divine Realm, plus two experts at the Great Freedom Realm, and this secret medicine that can instantly allow one to step into the Divine Realm, we will definitely be able to kill King Jingyu."
The girl smiled, but there seemed to be some worry mixed in with her smile, as if she had sensed some ominous sign, and a layer of gloom unconsciously settled between her brows.
...]
Huangquan Pawnshop.
Mu Mingce, the leader of the Dark River, stood solemnly before the hall, holding the Sleeping Dragon Sword, ready to receive the imperial decree.
"This mission is a do-or-die situation!" A chilling voice suddenly rang out, like a biting wind piercing to the bone, making Mu Mingce's heart tremble violently.
Mu Mingce respectfully accepted the imperial edict with both hands, unfolded it, and his expression instantly changed drastically, his eyes filled with horror: "His Majesty ordered the Dark River to intercept and kill the Marquis of Zhenxi and... the Prince of Langya?"
"Correct!"
"But……"
"No buts. This time, Dark River will spare no effort to kill these two people."
"What if Prince Jingyu came to the rescue in person?"
"You don't need to worry about that. There are others to handle things with Prince Jingyu."
"...Yes, Your Majesty!"
wow——
Everyone was speechless.
The fact that the Green King and the Fallen Feather King secretly colluded with the Southern Jue and mobilized local troops in an attempt to eliminate Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng is infuriating, but not surprising.
After all, the struggle for the throne is a matter of life and death, and secretly contacting other countries has long been a common tactic used by the princes.
But why was Emperor Tai'an also involved?
He even went so far as to personally order the execution of his own children?
What's even more puzzling is why the people from Nanjue are so wary of King Jingyu.
So much so that they went so far as to deploy two experts at the half-step Divine Travel realm and two experts at the Great Freedom realm, and even equipped them with secret medicines that could instantly allow people to step into the Divine Travel realm, to ensure that the operation would be foolproof.
Oh dear! What on earth happened in this parallel world?
Apart from Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng, no one else knew that the 'Xiao Ruojin' in the parallel world had already entered a divine journey.
They were still racking their brains trying to figure out why Emperor Tai'an, Prince Qing, and Nan Jue were so wary of Prince Jingyu.
Baili Luochen, who was already filled with resentment, became even angrier upon seeing this.
He originally thought that Emperor Tai'an had finally given up on him, but he never expected that he was just a scapegoat in the killing of Prince Jingyu and Prince Langya.
Upon realizing this, Baili Luochen almost laughed in anger.
Baili Chengfeng and Baili Dongjun looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Originally, the two of them were dissatisfied with Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng because of Emperor Tai'an's messy actions, and felt that their own family was quite miserable.
Who knew that these two brothers were in an even worse situation? Not only did their own brothers collude with foreign enemies to kill them, but even their biological father ordered the Dark River to hunt them down with all their might.
What heinous things have these two done?
Xiao Ruojin, Xiao Ruofeng: ...
We don't know either!
Both of them were numb, and silently turned their gazes to Mu Mingce, giving a cold smile.
