The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 282 This is considered an admission

"Blood Essence?" Jing Muhao had already stood up.

He still didn't believe that Jing Muyang had fused the blood essence. And even if he had fused the blood essence, how could that tiny bit of debris possibly obtain such great energy? Was he reborn?

"Xiaojiu, are you a human or a ghost?"

"Of course it's a human. There aren't so many ghosts in this world." Jing Muyang glanced at him, then looked at Wang Chai, "Just because you have blood doesn't mean you're a descendant of the royal family. Wang Chai, you know how many bad things you've done."

"It's a necessary sacrifice on the road to royal power. Since ancient times, royal families have fought for power, brothers have killed each other, fathers and sons have turned against each other, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There's nothing to say!" Jing Muhao took over the conversation and protected the royal hairpin behind him.

"Fifth brother, the struggle for imperial power is not about swallowing up your own money, killing your own soldiers, forcing your own loyal officials to harm your own people. Moreover, no one is fighting with you. It has always been you and the crown prince."

"It was Jing Muchen who competed with me! The position of crown prince should have been mine!" Jing Muhao's eyes turned red with anxiety.

"What about the eldest prince? What was your intention when you ran to Yongming Palace and told the eldest prince that the emperor wanted to depose him?"

"How do you know?"

"I also know that you said that the emperor promised that if you depose him, he would make you the crown prince."

"Yes, I did say it. I didn't lie. Father made such a promise to me. He was the one who broke his promise first!"

"But father didn't depose him. Fifth brother, do you think father didn't know why the eldest prince died? You were too young at that time, and you didn't do things cleanly. Things that you couldn't understand at the time can always be figured out later. Father knew it was you, but he didn't pursue it and chose to eliminate the evidence as if nothing had happened."

"You're talking nonsense!" Jing Muhao looked at his father.

Jingtai's eyes were red as he pulled Bai Lishang and kept apologizing, "Xin'er, please forgive your father. Your father has already lost one son and cannot lose another."

Does this count as his admission?

"So you just let Jing Muhao kill my son and make Jinxiu die of depression?" Zhu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed Jingtai by the collar and punched him, "Jingtai, you deserve this!"

"Xin'er is my son..." Jingtai did not fight back, but still held Bai Lishang tightly.

"Can you harm your son just because he's your son? Let me ask you, does Jinxiu know about this, right?!" Zhu Yuan opened his hand that was holding Bai Lishang's and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Fusang.

"No, I was wrong, I was wrong. I was the one who killed Xin'er, I was the one who killed Jinxiu, and I was the one who caused Xiaowu to become what he is today..." Jingtai was heartbroken. He finally realized how wrong his favoritism was. However, he still didn't realize that he was still making excuses for Jing Muhao's mistakes.

"Jing Muyang, you used this trick very well." Bai Lichang clapped his hands in applause.

"Fraud? Xiaojiu, you're frightened me?" Jing Muhao was a little exasperated.

"I didn't lie to you, Fifth Brother. You and Third Brother often played tricks on me back then, and the place I hid most was Yongming Palace. The eldest prince and the late queen were very kind to me. I overheard what you said, but I was too young to understand at that time."

Jing Muyang glanced at Bai Lishang implicitly, and Bai Lishang raised his eyebrows in response.

Jing Muhao was very dissatisfied with this and felt that he was being played around by the two of them.

Fighting could be heard from the foot of the mountain. It was Qinglin who led his men to attack the mountain.

Jing Muyang sighed, "Fifth Brother, Gao Le said that you fought without regard for your life on the battlefield. I really believe that you have changed for the better."

"What is good and bad? We just have different paths. What we have done is done. Xiaojiu, we will have to confront each other sooner or later. Come on."

Jing Muhao pushed Wang Chai aside and took the lead in attacking. Jing Muyang faced him calmly. For a moment, the sound of swords and knives could be heard, accompanied by the fluttering of clothes. The fight was quite intense.

Jing Muyang did not have the upper hand, it seemed that the blood energy he obtained was not much. Jing Muhao did not have the upper hand either, his strength has always been a mystery.

The two are evenly matched.

Emperor Jingtai of Lingyin was horrified. He didn't want Xiaojiu to get hurt, nor did he want Xiaowu to die. Even if he was bad, he was still his son, and he couldn't bear to watch his son die.

But he had no way to save Xiaowu because Xiaowu's sins were too serious.

He didn't have the face to save Xiaowu, his sins were too great.

The Qinglin at the foot of the mountain quickly attacked and the top of the mountain was surrounded.

Bai Lishang smiled and said, "Qinglin, report the situation down the mountain."

"The Dark Night Pavilion at the foot of the mountain has been destroyed, Liu Yuan has been executed, and the 20,000 men he led have all surrendered. Princess Naren and Batu led 20,000 cavalry to subdue the Northern Frontier rebels. The situation below the Tianshan Mountains is currently stable."

"What else? What's the situation in Xucheng?" Bai Lishang continued to ask with a smile.

"The deputy general of Xucheng was stationed there, and he and General Li of Jincheng strangled several reinforcements who attempted to rebel."

"Oh?" Bai Lishang scratched his ears, "I haven't heard of anyone rebelling in Xucheng."

"Luoshuang Pavilion received the news in advance and made arrangements to lure them into the city. As soon as they entered the city, they were caught and strangled before they could react. Seeing this, all the soldiers surrendered, so there was no large-scale riot."

"So that's how it is." Bai Lishang said to the two people who were still fighting, "Jing Muhao, did you hear that? Liu Yuan is dead, and the 30,000 people you had in Xucheng and Jincheng have also surrendered!"

Jing Muhao was distracted and was slashed by Jing Muyang's sword. He was listening and heard it clearly. Qinglin did not say 30,000 people.

"Bai Lishang, when did you get the news?"

“Jing Muhao, the Tianshan Holy Land has dominated the martial arts world for nearly two hundred years, and there are really few things in the world that I don’t know. Your Dark Night Pavilion is one of them, which has made me look up to you.

After you escaped at Ling Yin's farewell banquet in Beijing, you should have expected that your secrets would be discovered sooner or later, and you couldn't hide it anymore."

"Hmph, Bai Lishang, you are the leader of the martial arts world, but you don't speak a word of truth and you don't have any principles in doing things. If you knew it long ago, why did you conspire with me? Xiaojiu doesn't know what you did with Chu Jian!"

"True and false, true and false, false and true, false and true. This is how the world is. You are like this too. How can you criticize me? As for His Royal Highness the War King, what does it matter if he knows about it or not? It's already been done, and it's not something you need to worry about.

You should worry about yourself now. If you admit your mistakes decently, you may be able to go back to see your children. Otherwise... I will consider whether to keep your body intact."

When Jingtai heard this, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope that Xiaowu could survive.

"Xiao Wu, admit your mistake. As long as you admit your mistake, father will definitely protect your life and take you back, Xiao Wu..."

"Why admit your fault? I was just calculating for myself, what's wrong with that?!"
