My System Is Three Thousand Years Early Chapter 344 - 110: What kind of good person sleeps in armor?

Qin Beifeng couldn’t fathom why the words "among the Great Chu royal family" would co from Cheng Guang’s mouth.

What puzzled Qin Beifeng even more, was how Cheng Guang knew there were other figures lurking behind him.

Bewildernt, shock, astonishnt.

All sorts of emotions surged in Qin Beifeng’s heart at this mont.

Qin Beifeng slightly opened his mouth, looked at Cheng Guang, wanting to say sothing, but no words ca out.

After a long silence,

He then slowly began to speak again, "I don’t understand what the Princely Heir is talking about."

Qin Beifeng imdiately wanted to bluff his way through.

In his view, Great Chu had been destroyed many years ago, and not much news had surfaced about the surviving mbers of Great Chu in all those years; probably Cheng Guang was just guessing.

Therefore, after a brief shock, Qin Beifeng suppressed all the complex emotions in his heart.

Seeing Qin Beifeng react in such a manner, Cheng Guang wasn’t too surprised; if Qin Beifeng had imdiately admitted that there were indeed other people behind him, and among those people were mbers of the Great Chu royal family, that would have been truly bizarre.

Cheng Guang smiled slightly, without delving deeper.

Instead, he asked out of curiosity,

"Mr. Qin, back when you were one of the Great Chu’s hundred generals, I wonder if you ever saw the Great Chu Emperor or the Great Chu Empress."

When Qin Beifeng heard Cheng Guang ask this, his eyes lifted slightly to look at Cheng Guang, and even he couldn’t make out Cheng Guang’s intent at this point.

But because of what Cheng Guang had just said, Qin Beifeng still beca sowhat wary of him.

"The Emperor and the Empress are not so easily seen; in the presence of the Emperor, we, the hundred generals, dare not look up directly, and have only seen the Emperor’s face in portraits."

"As for the Empress, she made even fewer appearances, and there are pitifully few portraits of her. It is only said that the Empress was the most beautiful woman in Great Chu, and like most people in the world, they have only heard of her na but have never seen her in person."

Listening to these words, Cheng Guang felt sothing strange in his heart.

He had always found it peculiar.

His appearance combined the best traits of both the Great Chu Emperor and the Great Chu Empress’s features, and anyone with discerning eyes could notice the resemblance to the forr Great Chu Emperor and Empress upon closer inspection.

Yet, all these days, almost no one had recognized him, nor had anyone linked his appearance to that of the forr Great Chu Emperor.

Later, Cheng Guang found that his resemblance to the Great Chu Emperor was not significant, but he bore a striking resemblance to the Great Chu Empress.

Even so, it was unreasonable that no one beca suspicious about his appearance.

Even Qin Beifeng, a forr Great Chu general, hadn’t noticed anything unusual about his appearance and hadn’t connected him to the Great Chu royal family at all.

It was quite preposterous.

Only now did Cheng Guang realize that the Great Chu Empress made very few public appearances back then, and there weren’t many portraits of her.

Even though he resembled the Great Chu Empress, there weren’t many who could recognize him; naturally, no one would link him to the Great Chu Emperor.

Cheng Guang sighed, feeling a bit relieved yet also a bit disappointed.

The relief ca from the fact that the Great Chu Empress rarely showed her face, and few people knew of her appearance, so his looks did not bring disaster upon him.

The disappointnt ca because now, if he wanted to make use of Qin Beifeng to find the remnants of Great Chu, it would take extra effort.

Qin Beifeng would not easily agree to lead him to those behind him.

It seed he could only attempt to make a deal for now.

With this thought in mind, Cheng Guang turned to Qin Beifeng and said, "Mr. Qin, I can save you, but I have only one request – you must take to et the person behind you."

As these words ca out, Qin Beifeng’s expression changed slightly, his imdiate reaction was to shake his head in refusal, but then he quickly rembered his earlier statent claiming ignorance of what Cheng Guang was talking about, so he abruptly stopped the motion, returning his expression to normal.

Qin Beifeng wore a bitter look.

"The Princely Heir is joking, I don’t have anyone behind the scenes."

"The Princely Heir has no need to save ."

In response to Cheng Guang’s reaction, Cheng Guang was not particularly surprised but rely laughed again, "Mr. Qin, you may not value your own life right now, but soone will certainly value it."

"What do you think, if I spread the word that you will be executed in a few days, would the person behind you co to save you when they hear the news?"

"By then, we might as well stage an act of luring the tiger out of the mountain..."

Before Cheng Guang could finish, the composure Qin Beifeng just had was instantly difficult to maintain, looking unbelievably at the smiling and distinguished Duke of the State’s Heir before him.

Clearly, he had not anticipated that Cheng Guang could be so shaless.

Cheng Guang exuded such confidence, as if he was certain that there were other people behind Qin Beifeng.

Why could this Duke of the State’s Heir know about this?

Qin Beifeng didn’t understand, was baffled, and at the sa ti, a sense of powerlessness arose.

If Cheng Guang were to indeed spread the news of his execution, the person who heard the news would, despite others’ objections, try to save him.

By then, if that person’s identity were exposed, the World Royal Family would not ignore it.

If they could join forces to cut the roots of Great Chu in the past, they would not leave a glimr of hope for Great Chu today.

Qin Beifeng’s expression beca extrely complex, conflicted; in his eyes that looked at Cheng Guang, there was also an endless chill and anger.

Cheng Guang threatened him in such a way, holding a clear advantage, not worried at all that Qin Beifeng might disregard the matter.
