Chapter 146 How many years have passed since Qianyan was destroyed, why are there still remnants everywhere?
The young man's name is Duan Chen. He is the eldest son of the Duan family in Xiacai. He is relatively sick. However, this is not a problem. The real problem is that his biological mother died young. His father then married a stepmother and gave birth to a child three years younger than him. younger brother.
Of course, this is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that this stepmother's family is also quite powerful and belongs to the type of strong alliance.
Fortunately, as the eldest son, he has uncles, aunts, and elders in the family to protect him. He has not encountered any bullying incidents. On the contrary, he has all the rights he should have.
He has also grown up and is already a scholar at a young age.
If one goes a step further and succeeds in being promoted, the whole clan can be protected, and then the world will be in chaos.
Logically speaking, they were a large clan and did not have much influence, but his father followed the rebellion and became one of the famous rebel kings.
That's okay. Anyway, he can do whatever he takes over, and Duan Chen's talent can also be implemented.
It's just that he is afraid of a failure in everything. His father died on the front line two days ago. The news reached the Xia Cai Duan family. The specific details of his death are unknown.
As expected, Duan Chen will succeed his father as the anti-king, so it doesn't matter if he inherits his father's legacy.
He also has a younger brother who is not an ordinary person, and his stepmother is even more capable. When Duan's father succeeded in his rebellion, she and her parents' family were indispensable for their help.
How could he be willing to see the family property fall into Duan Chen's hands, so he exchanged interests and forced him to go to the ancestral hall, which finally forced Duan Chen to leave.
As for the original uncles, aunts, family elders, etc., they have also been subtly bribed over the years. Coupled with the final profit and the need to maintain their Duan family's foundation, they can only acquiesce in the mother and son driving away Duan Chen.
Anyway, these two brothers are both members of the Duan family, and it doesn't matter who inherits.
After Duan Chen left, he could only move towards his biological mother's hometown to stay temporarily. Unexpectedly, his brother and stepmother did not let him go and intercepted him and his only remaining old servant on the way.
After listening, Lu Xingshi also commented: "It's really a simple and unpretentious way to seize power."
"It's just that this process is not very good. If it were me, I would kill you with one punch, and then I would kill anyone who raised objections." Lu Xingshi said his solution again.
Duan Chen also smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Mr. Duan, is this the official Duan who claims to be the King of Yue?" The old emperor seemed a bit familiar.
"It's my father." Duan Chen replied.
"So these people are actually your family's soldiers." Lu Xingshi saw it and was able to explain clearly.
The mother and son must not make a big fuss about eradicating the root cause, so they can only act cautiously.
If the news about Duan Chen's killing spreads, their reputation will also be affected. If they can even kill their own brother, what else can they dare to do?
Not everyone is Li Shimin and can bear the consequences.
"That's not right. There was a group of people wearing the same style of clothes as you before who were chasing the saints of the Holy Fire Sect, but they didn't bring crossbows, and they claimed to be the remnants of Qian Yan." Lu Xingshi remembered that he had been chasing the old emperor's illegitimate child. The female group.
"This... my stepmother's maternal clan did inherit the blood of Qian Yan." Duan Chen said helplessly.
"Damn it, you still want to inherit your father's family property in this situation? You don't even have any soldiers at hand. Your stepmother already respects you very much by giving you a forced drama. If it were his son who wanted to fight for the family property, I'm afraid the other heirs can't even get out." Lu Xingshi pointed at the old emperor and teased.
Lu Xingshi understood clearly that if Duan Chen was not in troubled times, but when Da Song was still strong, with his potential, the mother and son would not have dared to use any means.
Even if they win the election, the two of them must be honest and dare not do any disobedience.
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.
Not only does Duan Chen have no military power, but even his close associates have been dealt with, leaving only such an old servant, how can he fight against the opponent?
What’s more important is that this group of soldiers didn’t even know Duan Chen. Otherwise, could they have killed the wrong person? It's also possible that he didn't kill the wrong person, but simply admitted his mistake and exposed himself, so he just silenced him.
"Brother, I'm just a mediocre person, how can I lead an army to fight?" Duan Chen said with a wry smile.
"Okay, then you wait for a while, and I will torture these people to see if your story is correct."
"It doesn't matter if there are some minor flaws. The main thing is to confirm that these people are definitely the people you call Cai Duan." Lu Xingshi said, dragging the people aside.
Then the torture began.
I heard screams one after another.
Lu Xingshi's torture did not require torture tools as an aid at all. He could use some sub-gu to torture.
When Duan Chen heard the screams, the blood on his already pale face turned even brighter.
It lasted for about half an hour before Lu Xingshi finished asking his questions.
Speed is inevitable. This group of people is not some kind of celestial beings or disciples of a big sect. There is nothing to torture.
"Confirmed, it's from your family." When Lu Xingshi said this, Duan Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Give you a chance to atone for your sins."
Suddenly, Lu Xingshi changed the subject. "Please tell me, strong man, as long as you don't let me commit adultery or violate human ethics, I will do my best!" Duan Chen said quickly.
What he said was indeed sincere, and Lu Xingshi indirectly saved his life.
"Take me to the Duan family. I plan to send them all to reunite with your father. The three aunts, the seven aunts, your brother and your stepmother, none of them will be missed," Lu Xingshi said.
Now that we have found the root cause, just kill the other party's whole family.
As for Duan Chen, it depends on how he performs on the road. If he performs well, let him go. If he doesn't, send him on the road together.
"This, this, this... is absolutely impossible." Duan Chen quickly refused: "They are unkind to me, but they always let me live. But I can't be unkind to them and do such crazy things."
This kid's moral bottom line is quite high, and he has some ideas of repaying evil with kindness.
"If a strong man wants to vent his anger, just kill me, and I am willing to forgive him." Duan Chen also gave a solution.
It’s not that this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work.
"You? What good can I gain by killing you? I can't vent my anger." Lu Xingshi complained. Furthermore, what he wanted to do was to eradicate the root cause, not to actually kill him to vent his anger.
"As long as the strong man does not destroy my Duan family, please feel free to make other conditions."
Hearing Duan Chen's words, Lu Xingshi looked around and felt that this guy seemed to be a talent.
"How talented are you?" Lu Xingshi asked.
"I don't dare to call him talent, he is a bit incompetent." Duan Chen said humbly.
"That's just right. I'm short of people over there. You come and work with me. As for what position you are suitable for, someone will arrange it for you." Lu Xingshi thought that since they said that the conditions were met, he could just take him to work.
"No, my young master is also a son of a wealthy family. How could he..." the old servant said immediately.
However, the old emperor spoke sarcastically: "You actually want such an indecisive and pedantic idiot who just lowers his head and begs?"
In Lu Xingshi's opinion, this performance is actually quite good, at least he knows how to be grateful.
However, in the eyes of the old emperor, it was simply stupid. If it were him, he would definitely agree to Lu Xingshi and take everything back with Lu Xingshi's hands.
"Just follow what the strong man said, I'll just be a long-term worker for the strong man." Duan Chen's expression relaxed. He didn't think that Lu Xingshi was deliberately making things difficult for him.
If you really wanted to make things difficult, you wouldn't say something like this.
"Master! How could you..." The old servant was also anxious. He didn't expect that Duan Chen actually agreed.
"It's a deal, if you break your promise, I will kill your whole family." Lu Xingshi did not make the other party swear an oath or say anything, but directly threatened him.
"Don't worry, strong man. Once you make a move, it's hard to catch up." Duan Chen said immediately.
The old servant was very anxious there, but since Lu Xingshi was stronger than him, he really had no way to resist.
"Tell me what's going on in your stepmother's family. I remember, haven't all the remnants of the former Yan State been recruited by the Yan State? Why are there still remnants wandering outside?" Lu Xingshi asked.
"I don't know much about this, but I have heard some rumors."
"It is said that my stepmother's natal family is not of the blood of the former Prince Yan, but of the blood of Prince Xi." Duan Chen said.
At the end of Qian Yan, the prince's bloodline from Murong Xuanzu was originally supposed to be the second prince, but the original prince died, and it was the turn of the second prince from Murong Xuanzu to become the prince and heir apparent.
The prince who died early was posthumously named King Xi, so he was called Prince Xi.
However, some bloodlines were passed down and eventually settled in Xiacai.
If we talk about orthodoxy, the other party is indeed much tougher than his master. Unfortunately, we don’t talk about bloodline but strength now. Lu Xingshi is not the descendant of Murong, but he can become the orthodox king of Yan. No matter how fake he is, he is still true, and no matter how true the others are, without him The acknowledgment is also false.
"Look what you did, why are there remnants everywhere?" Lu Xingshi looked at the old emperor with hatred.
The old emperor is numb. You, the biggest remnant of Qian Yan, even arrested the current emperor, and you still talk to him about this.
Duan Chen was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on at all.
"Let me introduce you to this person who doesn't seem to be very popular. King Lu Xingshi of Yan is the number one in the world."
"That's right, you still boarded a pirate ship, and it was the largest ship in Dasong. Whether your stepmother's natal family is of the blood of the former Yan royal family, as long as she doesn't admit it, it will be a lie for the rest of her life." The old emperor did not hesitate. Just reveal Lu Xingshi’s background.
Duan Chen's face turned into shock, and even the old servant didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Lu Xingshi also introduced the old emperor: "I am nothing, this is the heavyweight, the Supreme Emperor Dasong. I was a guest in the Liao Kingdom before. When I went to visit the King of Liao, I took him back to Dongling. After living for a while, when I return to Kyoto will depend on when I move to Kyoto. "
After the introduction, Duan Chen's brain shut down and his CPU almost burned out.
