At this mont, night was gradually falling. The two grandmasters, Dragon Supressor and Tiger Tar, had fled more than 300 miles from the capital city and looked back.
Dragon Supressor expressed so concern, Should we be safe here?
We should be safe; weve already traveled far from the capital city, Tiger Tar breathed a sigh of relief. I cant believe soone from the Great Wu court could kill a grandmaster. Its truly dangerous! From now on, we should stay far away from this place and never return!
Youre right, younger brother, Dragon Supressor admitted his fear, I felt like I was being targeted by a ferocious beast. It was extrely perilous! If we hadnt run fast enough, wed be dead by now!
Is it really that terrifying?
Of course it is! Dragon Supressor continued to tremble with fear, Even when I was young and had no cultivation, I wasnt as afraid when I was thrown into a snake pit!
Yes, even more vicious than a tiger! Tiger Tar nodded.
Just then, they felt a shiver run down their spines!
Because, this was the third voice they heard!
When they arrived here earlier, they had already looked around and there was no one in sight!
So, where was this unfamiliar voice coming from?
Who are you?
Dragon Supressor and Tiger Tar leaped several yards away, staring warily in the direction of the voice.
At that mont, they saw soone unexpected.
Lin Beifan? What are you doing here?
The person before them was none other than Lin Beifan, who had just hurriedly arrived from the capital city, still wearing his official robes.
Lin Beifan had a very friendly and benign smile, seemingly harmless. However, in the eyes of Dragon Supressor and Tiger Tar, it sent shivers down their spines, causing their hair to stand on end.
That sense of deadly danger had descended upon them once again.
I specially ca to kill you both and eliminate future troubles, Lin Beifan said with a cheerful smile, extending his right hand. Two ice knives appeared in his hand, floating as if weightless, rising and falling.
Dragon Supressor and Tiger Tar were extrely cautious, exchanging whispers.
Younger brother, this person is far from ordinary; he might even have the power of a grandmaster!
We should strike first to seize the advantage!
Both of them attacked simultaneously, exerting all their strength with the montum of a thunderous force!
You want to kill us? Lets see if you have what it takes!
The one I want to kill, even Jesus cant save!
The ice knives in Lin Beifans hand disappeared!
When they reappeared, they had already been plunged into the foreheads of Dragon Supressor and Tiger Tar, freezing them from head to toe as ice sculptures.
After killing them, Lin Beifan flew away like a celestial being.
Jobs done, ti to go back and continue the inspections!
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and the two grandmasters, Dragon Supressor and Tiger Tar, shattered into pieces.
Upon his return, Lin Beifan continued his inspections, causing uproar among the court officials and arousing resentnt throughout the palace.
anwhile, within the dungeon, whether due to the Empresss orders or not, the three major rebel leaders were strangely imprisoned together.
The first to be locked up, Prince of Southern Jiang, upon seeing Prince of Northern Hebei and Wuxi Duke, was greatly surprised, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, why are you both imprisoned too? Could it be you lost as well?
Prince of Northern Hebei and Wuxi Duke exchanged grim looks and nodded.
Prince of Southern Jiang was extrely delighted, bursting into laughter, Great, this prince didnt win, and you both didnt win either. All of you lost to Big Brothers little girl! Haha, its so hilarious!
We lost to Big Brother back then, and now we cant even defeat Big Brothers daughter. Were truly utterly defeated, what a pathetic existence! If we had known this, why bother going through all the trouble? Why not just be idle princes? Haha
As they laughed, tears even stread down their faces.
Whether it was out of excessive joy or regret for their past actions, no one could tell.
Prince of Northern Hebeis expression grew unpleasant, clenching his fists, Im not like you! I didnt lose to that girl; I lost to a treacherous minister and a villain! If it werent for him, I would have already stord into the imperial palace and donned the yellow robe!
Which treacherous minister and villain caused your downfall? Prince of Southern Jiang and Prince of Northern Hebei asked in unison.
Lin Beifan!!! Prince of Northern Hebei gritted his teeth.
What? Lin Beifan? Prince of Southern Jiang and Wuxi Duke were instantly shocked.
Dont be deceived by his loyal appearance; hes actually a cunning scher! Prince of Northern Hebeis teeth were clenched, and his eyes were filled with hateful intent. He may seem loyal to the court on the surface, but he had long been colluding with in secret, embezzling millions of taels of silver from and gaining my trust! As a result, when I led my troops to the imperial city, he stabbed in the back, causing my n to turn against each other, and my plans to crumble!
Prince of Northern Hebei pounded his chest, bellowing with heartbreak, I hate him! If he hadnt gained my trust and deceived , I wouldnt have ended up like this!
Is it truly Lin Beifan who caused your downfall? the two princes asked in unison.
Prince of Northern Hebeis expression turned extrely unsightly, Ive already been defeated. Why would I deceive you? Hmph!
Seeing how unpleasant Prince of Northern Hebei looked, the two princes believed him to so extent.
Moreover, now that he was imprisoned, it proved his failure, leaving no need for lies.
Second Brother, to be honest, among all of us brothers, youre the most astute, skilled at disguises and acting! After acting for decades, you managed to deceive the entire world. How could you be duped by that little thief Lin Beifan? Prince of Southern Jiang asked in puzzlent.
Yeah, I cant understand it either. How could you be tricked by him? Wuxi Duke was equally baffled.
Thats because you dont know how cunning and treacherous he is! Prince of Northern Hebei said through gritted teeth, Shortly after entering the court as an official, he had already pledged his loyalty to , all for the sake of wealth! Over these years, you cant imagine how many things hes done for ! The thod of creating the flying celestial balloons? He leaked it to , costing three to four million taels of silver!
Prince of Southern Jiang and Wuxi Duke were astounded, What? He leaked you the thod for creating the celestial balloons?
Indeed, and also the thod for creating waterborne weapon, the air-cushion boat. He leaked it to as well, costing four to five million taels of silver! Prince of Northern Hebei continued through clenched teeth.
Prince of Southern Jiang and Wuxi Duke were astonished once again, What? He leaked you the thod for creating the air-cushion boat?
And also dragon bones! I spent several million taels of silver to obtain so dragon bones from him!
Prince of Southern Jiang and Wuxi Duke were astonished for the third ti, Even dragon bones
Because of this, I placed great trust in him! He participated in activities against the nation, all of which would cost him his life if exposed. He could only follow my path until the end! But who knew Prince of Northern Hebei pounded his chest, hatred evident in his eyes, At the gates of the capital city, just as I was about to succeed, he stabbed in the back! Its only now that Ive seen his true colors, but its too late for regrets. Isnt that ridiculous?
As he spoke, he started laughing sorrowfully, Haha
Prince of Southern Jiang and Wuxi Dukes faces looked as if a paint pot had been overturned, colors all over the place, exceptionally vibrant.
Seeing Prince of Northern Hebeis bafflent, they were equally puzzled, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, why do your expressions look so odd?
At this mont, Wuxi Duke burst into tears.
Prince of Northern Hebei and Prince of Southern Jiang were shocked, Fourth Brother, why are you crying out of nowhere?
Because because I was also deceived by that Lin Beifan! Wuxi Duke wailed.
What? He deceived you too? How did he deceive you?
Wuxi Duke, filled with sorrow, continued to wail, Just like Second Brother, Lin Beifan had pledged allegiance to before! He revealed the thod for creating my air-cushion boat and the dragon bones. He embezzled six to seven million taels of silver from ! Even the worlds greatest treasure, the dragon bones, he sold to , causing to lose everything!
Prince of Northern Hebei and Prince of Southern Jiang were still astonished, Wow! He sold all these things to you too?
Wuxi Duke said mournfully, I believed that he was fully committed to following after he had perford so many acts of selling the nation and seeking glory. Who wouldve known that at the Phoenix Fortress, he would stab in the back, resulting in the death of 600,000 of my soldiers within the stronghold? Hes nothing but a traitorous scoundrel!!!
Thats right! Hes indeed a traitorous scoundrel! Prince of Northern Hebei and Prince of Southern Jiang spoke in unison, their anger ignited.
Touched by the scene, Prince of Southern Jiang began to wail as well.
Why are you crying too, Third Brother?
Prince of Southern Jiang cried as he spoke, Because I was deceived by Lin Beifan too!
Prince of Northern Hebei and Wuxi Duke were shocked once more, What? He deceived you too?
Yes, just like you both. The thod for crafting my two divine weapons and the dragon bones were all obtained from him. I spent 30 million taels of silver for all of it!
Prince of Southern Jiang teared up, looking like a brothel girl who hadnt been paid after a tryst.
But even after he embezzled so much silver from , he doesnt show any gratitude. Instead, he turned against . Isnt he despicable? Isnt he infuriating? Isnt he hateful?
Hateful! Infuriating! Despicable! Prince of Northern Hebei and Wuxi Duke gritted their teeth.
Then the three of them exchanged glances and embraced each other, bursting into tears.
Who would have thought that the three of us brothers would fall into the hands of an outsider!
Having fought all our lives, we were defeated by an outsider!
My heart is so heavy! The bitterness is so deep, wawawa
Its truly a heart-wrenching sight that brings tears to ones eyes!
Just at that mont, Lin Beifan walked in with a smile, Why are you crying? Crying so sadly, can you tell ? Id like to be entertained a bit.
Lin Beifan! You treacherous scoundrel! The Three Rebellious Princes gritted their teeth.
Prince of Southern Jiang angrily asked, Why are you here?
Naturally, Im here to see the three esteed princes! No matter what youve said to , its a form of showing so kindness. As a person, one cant be heartless and ungrateful. So, I ca here to pay a visit! Lin Beifans face was full of smiles, Seeing you not doing well puts my mind at ease!
Ah!!! The Three Rebellious Princes were furious.
They wished they could break out of the prison and tear apart this sycophantic traitor who takes advantage of others.
Lin Beifan, you treacherous scoundrel, dont get too proud! Based on what youve done, sooner or later, you will end up here too! That day isnt far away! Prince of Northern Hebei shouted.
Lin Beifan bead, Thank you for your kind words. Take your ti waiting. You might never see that day co! Ill visit you often. I just enjoy the look of your frustration when you cant stand but cant do anything to !
Ah!!! The Three Rebellious Princes were furious once again.
Im leaving now since theres nothing else to do! Lin Beifan tapped his head, Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you!
Lin Beifan clapped his hands, and two officials brought in a large bell.
Does it look familiar? Lin Beifan grinned, Ive noticed that youve been passing this big bell around. It must have a special aning to you. So, Ive specially brought it for you, to keep you company and bond with it!
The faces of the Three Rebellious Princes turned dark with anger. They gritted their teeth and glared at Lin Beifan, You despicable person!
No need to thank , my dear rebels. Farewell!
Lin Beifan patted his bottom and left, walking toward another part of the prison.
