Just when Xie Lingjun and his party were worrying about rushing on their way, the third prince of Wei and Liang returned to the imperial capital of Wei and Liang with the newly recovered second prince Cao Feng and the body of the eldest prince Cao Song.
Cao Yan looked at the oncoming eunuch Gao Chongren, and felt fear in his heart.
"I pay homage to His Highness the Third Prince. His Highness returned today. I wonder what good news he brought? His Majesty has been a little depressed recently. He will definitely be much happier after meeting the Third Prince..." Gao Chongren walked quickly to Cao Yan and said,
Give a deep bow.
"Haha... Please lead the way, Eunuch Gao, we want to see our father!" Cao Yan was not in the mood to pay attention to Gao Chongren and said very coldly.
Gao Chongren raised his head slightly, not looking at it without looking around. He just caught a glimpse of a coffin behind Cao Yan. His face was a little startled, but he quickly recovered, turned around, and led Cao Yan towards
Walk to where Cao Zhongyi is.
Many years of experience as an eunuch told Gao Chongren that if he dared to talk nonsense in a self-righteous manner at this time, he would probably end up with his head in a different place.
Not long after, Gao Chongren led Cao Yan and others to Cao Zhongyi's palace.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince and the Third Prince would like to see you..." Gao Chongren shouted respectfully and softly through the door.
"Well, come in..."
An extremely cold voice came from the palace. Gao Chongren turned around and bowed deeply towards Cao Yan and Cao Feng, indicating that he could go in. However, Cao Yan and Cao Feng were shocked by Cao Zhongyi's voice.
The two looked at each other and saw a hint of panic and confusion in each other's eyes, but they still nodded to each other. Cao Yan took the lead in opening the palace door and took Cao Feng and the coffin in.
"Meet my father!"
Cao Yan and Cao Feng both prostrated themselves, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"What do you mean by bringing a coffin?" Cao Zhongyi half-squinted his eyes, unable to see any emotion.
"Go back to Father..."
Cao Yan lowered his head tightly, sweating like rain, and spoke hesitantly. He didn't know how to tell Cao Zhongyi. Upon seeing this, Cao Zhongyi no longer looked like he was calm and calm, and quickly looked at Cao Feng who was kneeling behind Cao Yan.
.
"Feng'er, tell me, what's going on!" Cao Zhongyi stared angrily and asked sternly.
"Back to my father...it's my eldest brother..." Cao Feng couldn't hold back the pressure and told Cao Zhongyi hesitantly.
"What!"
Cao Zhongyi's roar resounded throughout the palace. Cao Zhongyi said angrily and instantly ducked to the coffin behind Cao Yan.
Carefully pushing open the coffin lid, Cao Zhongyi's whole body was trembling. When he looked inside the coffin, he saw that familiar face.
"Impossible! Impossible! Song'er is a dignified fourth-grade spiritual heaven supreme. Who in the world can kill him easily?" Cao Zhongyi took a few steps back in disbelief, staggering as if he was about to fall to the ground in the next moment.
.
In the coffin was Cao Zhongyi's beloved son Cao Song, now one of the best masters in the Wei Liang Kingdom, a fourth-grade spiritual heaven master who has realized the realm, and the future heir of the Wei Liang Kingdom. Cao Zhongyi was instantly heartbroken.
"Yes...Xie Lingjun..." Cao Yan said hesitantly.
"How is that possible!" Cao Zhongyi grabbed Cao Yan and looked at his youngest son angrily, "Xie Lingjun is just a spirit person. You brought so many people here, but you couldn't even catch a small spirit person, and even damaged it.
Cao Song? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Although there are many of us, Xie Lingjun found many helpers from nowhere. There were even people from the Beizhou Demon Cult. Even Chi Tianshun, the elder of Wuji Academy, was helping him... and Xie Lingjun and Xie Lingyu both had an instant surge in strength.
Xie Lingjun even relied on that secret method to kill his eldest brother..." Cao Yan explained quickly, fearing that he would be too slow to make Cao Zhongyi angry.
"What about them?" Cao Zhongyi asked immediately.
"Run away as usual..." Cao Yan lowered his head, feeling a little scared and not daring to look at Cao Zhongyi's face.
"Run away? With so many people, they let them run away?" Cao Zhongyi shouted in disbelief.
"Yes... Ran Rang did stop him for a while, but he was quickly killed by Xie Lingyu... and Chi Tianshun helped... we didn't get the slightest advantage..." Cao Yan said softly.
"Xie Lingjun? Chi Tianshun?"
Cao Zhongyi put down Cao Yan, turned around in despair, lowered his head, and kept mumbling the names of these two people.
Cao Yan loosened his grip on Cao Zhongyi's neck, and carefully looked at Cao Zhongyi's back. His face still looked frightened, but there was a wave of joy in his heart.
Cao Song is the perfect successor to Cao Zhongyi. Now Xie Lingjun has killed Cao Song. Although Cao Feng has a good talent for cultivation, he is not very bright. Calculating this, the future successor of Wei Liang Kingdom will definitely fall into Cao Yan's hands.
In his hands, the more Cao Yan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he even almost showed it.
Perhaps Cao Zhongyi was too sad and did not notice Cao Yan's reaction. He only felt indignation and sorrow for Cao Song's death.
"Father, Xie Lingjun and Xie Lingyu, the two remaining members of the Xie family, please put aside your sorrow and avenge your eldest brother!" Cao Yan pretended to grit his teeth, knelt down and said hypocritically.
"You don't need to tell me about this..."
Cao Zhongyi put his hands behind his back and glanced back at Cao Yan, who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes were like daggers, from top to bottom, trying to see clearly into the heart of the little son in front of him.
After hearing what Cao Zhongyi said, Cao Yan couldn't understand how Cao Zhongyi could get over the sadness and anger of losing his son so quickly, and he suddenly panicked.
The heart of an emperor is like a needle in the sea. This sentence is absolutely suitable for Cao Zhongyi. Cao Zhongyi was able to become the emperor and take the Xie family's world as his own. In addition to his great talents and strategies and extraordinary courage, Cao Zhongyi was also suspicious and insidious by nature.
The cunning lord.
He raised his head and glanced at Cao Zhongyi. Cao Yan's heart instantly went cold. He saw Cao Zhongyi looking at him coldly. Cao Yan thought to himself: Could it be that my father discovered my intention?
"Feng'er..." Cao Zhongyi said lightly.
"My son is here!" Cao Feng instantly raised his head and looked directly at Cao Zhongyi.
"What Yan'er said... what do you think?" Cao Zhongyi asked lightly, and returned to his dragon chair, regaining his previous look, which was unpredictable.
"What Third Brother said is indeed true!" Cao Feng said blankly.
"Well, okay, you pass my order and ask all the disciples of the Jueying Sect to come out and follow you. If Ran Rang is not dead yet, ask him to get out of here too. You will personally take the ten supreme masters of Lingtian with you."
I have to go all over Nanzhou to find Xie Lingjun! Do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand!"
Cao Feng accepted the order happily, Cao Zhongyi's angry voice echoed throughout the hall, and Cao Yan's heart instantly went cold again.
"Yan'er..." Cao Zhongyi said lightly.
"My son is here! I know my mistake! Please punish me, father!" Cao Yan quickly knocked his head to the ground.
"This matter is really yours. In this case, you should arrange Song'er's funeral. You are weak and cannot help Wei Liang. After this matter is over, go to Qilian City to practice and deal with the remnants of the Xie family.
Please stop participating..." Cao Zhongyi said calmly.
"yes……"
Cao Yan seemed to be discouraged in an instant. Cao Zhongyi's words were tantamount to sending him to the frontier. He had completely lost his trust. Fortunately, Cao Zhongyi did not mean to thoroughly investigate the truth behind Cao Song's death.
