Chapter 1462: 713 His grandson (first watch of the night)_3
Qun Xuan glanced at Han Ye, clad in a night-traveling outfit, and said sternly, “Ye’er, after all that has happened, do you still not trust ? If you don’t tell exactly what’s going on, I’m not leaving.”
Caught in an internal struggle, Han Ye vividly rembered the crown prince’s admonitions, yet his master was also a person of great importance to him.
Eventually, he revealed the mission he was tasked with.
Qun Xuan scoffed, “So, this was the reason Nangong Li initially entered the palace. The crown prince speaks eloquently, claiming he doesn’t want to implicate the Han Family, but in the end, isn’t he still sacrificing the heir of the Han Family?”
Han Ye said, “Master, you need to leave quickly and hide for a while.”
Qun Xuan sighed, “It’s too late to hide. You were caught red-handed killing the emperor’s grandson today. It wouldn’t matter if the sovereign didn’t recognize you, but he did, as did the eunuch Zhang, didn’t he? From this mont on, not even a fly could escape from Shengdu’s inner city.”
Han Ye clenched his fists in frustration.
Qun Xuan asked, “No one outside knows I taught you swordsmanship, right?”
Han Ye shook his head, “Master, you secretly taught martial arts and told not to even tell my father. I never ntioned it to anyone. They all think I’m just learning Hidden Weapon techniques from you.”
Qun Xuan said, “While they still might suspect you, I’ll try my best.”
Han Ye exclaid, “Master!”
Qun Xuan smiled, “Starting today, I will leave the Han Family. Afterward, do not contact or try to find .”
“It’s useless.”
Han Yong, Han Ye’s second uncle, strode in.
Han Ye’s expression changed, “Second Uncle!”
Han Yong said, “I heard everything you’ve said. Now, would you like to hear what I’ve got to say?”
Qun Xuan inquired, “What’s happened outside?”
Han Yong replied solemnly, “Just now, my father and Ye’er’s grandfather were summoned to the palace.”
Both n’s expressions changed dramatically.
They had anticipated that the sovereign might make a move, but they hadn’t expected it to be so swift.
With a heavy heart, Han Yong said, “This is no longer a matter that a re guest of the Tang Sect can bear. The assassination attempt on the emperor’s grandson, though unsuccessful, won’t the Han Family have to die to satisfy the sovereign’s wrath? Whether it was the Han Family’s doing or not, the sovereign will place the bla squarely on the Han Family!”
Having said that, he looked at Han Ye, “Which two moves did you use?”
A bad premonition welled up inside Han Ye, “Second Uncle…”
Han Yong seized Han Ye’s left hand, examined the wound carefully, then suddenly drew a dagger and gouged out a piece of flesh from his own left forearm that matched Han Ye’s wound perfectly!
Han Ye’s complexion turned ashen, “Second Uncle!”
Han Yong tore off the hem of his garnt to bind his wound, enduring the pain as he demanded, “Teach , which two moves?”
Han Ye’s throat tightened, his eyes reddened, and he shook his head, choking back tears, “I won’t teach… I won’t teach…”
Han Yong did not dawdle with his nephew any longer and turned to Qun Xuan, his gaze both resolute and determined, “I must ask for your help, Hero Qun.”
Han Ye, eyes brimming with tears, roared, “Master! You can’t!”
Having been raised by his second uncle since childhood while his father was busy with official duties, his second uncle was closer to him than his father.
He didn’t want his second uncle to take the bla for him, to just watch as his second uncle walked to his death!
This was more excruciating than being asked to die himself!
Qun Xuan looked unblinkingly at Han Yong, “Even if you take the bla, it may not save the Han Family.”
Han Yong nodded, “I know.”
“Fine, I will teach you,” Qun Xuan said, and the mont his voice fell, he quickly pressed Han Ye’s acupoints, drew his sword, and stepped into the courtyard, “Watch closely!”
