Chapter 257 The truth comes to light
Could something big have happened?
After thinking for a moment, the King of Zhenxi said calmly, "Then bring them in to see me."
"Yes!"
The eunuch responded and went down quietly.
Soon, Zhao Ting and Qian Hu were brought in.
The two entered the study.
As soon as they saw the King of Zhenxi, they couldn't help but tremble.
Because the eyes of the King of Zhenxi were so sharp, so sharp that they seemed to be able to eat people!
"Meet the King of Zhenxi!"
Both of them bowed and saluted.
Although Zhao Ting was the brother-in-law of the King of Zhenxi, Zhao Ting never dared to call him brother-in-law, but always called him the King of Zhenxi.
Don't be fooled by the Zhao family's usual display of power online under the name of the King of Zhenxi. If they really meet the King of Zhenxi, they will be as timid as grandsons.
"Tell me, why did you two come to see me at the same time?"
The King of Zhenxi glanced at the two of them and spoke calmly.
"Your Highness, please do make the decision for us!" Zhao Ting immediately began to cry out in grievance.
"Making the decision?"
When the King of Zhenxi saw his dead look, his face darkened, "Could it be that the people from Tianshan Sect bullied you?"
After all, he came with people from Tianshan Sect, so it's hard not to suspect that they had a conflict with Tianshan Sect and came to him for support.
When Qian Hu heard this, he was immediately shocked.
This was a huge misunderstanding, so he quickly explained, "That's not the case, Your Highness, you've misunderstood. Our Tianshan Sect and the Zhao Family have never had any conflict. We came to you together because we want you to seek justice for us!"
Upon hearing this, King Zhenxi suddenly felt strange.
When will this border area need people from these two forces to come to him and make the decision?
"What's going on?"
King Zhenxi spoke with some impatience. His time was precious and he had no time to waste on these two people.
"Your Highness, it is like this. The Crown Prince has gone too far..."
Zhao Ting immediately explained the whole story.
Of course, they were talking about the traps that Chen Xuan set for them.
The whole process was that the Crown Prince first captured Zhao Zhong and framed the Tianshan Sect. Li Mo of the Tianshan Sect came looking for someone and caused a scene at the Zhao residence. The Zhao family went to the Tianshan Sect to demand justice. After that, both sides realized something was amiss and met the Chen clan in the Barbarian City...
After hearing this, King Zhenxi's face immediately turned gloomy!
"You two idiots, how could the Crown Prince do such a thing? Don't you even know you're being used as a pawn?"
It's not like the King of Zhenxi hasn't seen the prince before, so how could he not know the prince's character?
Under the suppression of the empress, the prince can only stay in the capital.
Although some ministers in the court are members of the prince's party, they all support the prince.
But, it’s nothing!
The prince can't even cause much trouble in the capital, so how dare he extend his hand to the border?
Isn’t he afraid that the Empress will find out and chop off his claws?
"Your Highness, at first we also thought this was impossible. However, this matter also involves the Chen clan. It was a young martial king of the Chen clan who said this. The people of the Chen clan would not dare to joke with the crown prince, right?"
Qian Hu said quickly.
He immediately repeated exactly what Chen Xuan had said before.
"The Chen clan? The young King Wu?"
The matter also involved the Chen clan, and even the King of Zhenxi calmed down instantly.
His eyes flickered, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "The Chen clan has lost many talents over the years. When has a young Martial King ever emerged? How come I didn't know about this?"
Whether it is the Chen family or the other two major families.
As the three top families of the Daqian Dynasty, as the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, they will all be watched by the court.
Although the King of Zhenxi was at the border, he basically knew all the major events that had happened in the entire Daqian Dynasty, from east to west and north to south.
He knows everything about the capital city!
Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know if there is a genius born in the Chen clan.
"Reporting to the King of Zhenxi, that man is indeed from the Chen clan, his name is Chen Xuan!"
Qian Hu said quickly.
"Chen Xuan? What did you say? His name is Chen Xuan, and he's a Martial King?"
At the beginning, King Zhenxi was relatively calm.
However, when he heard the name Chen Xuan, he stood up from his chair instantly, staring at Qian Hu with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through him completely.
Qian Hu was frightened by his gaze. He didn't know whether he had said something wrong or what was going on. Why was the King of Zhenxi suddenly so excited?
Isn't it just a name?
Could it be that this Chen Xuan had a very important background? So important that he could shock the King of Zhenxi?
Isn't he just a young martial king of the Chen clan, not the clan leader of the Chen clan? Is there such a big reaction?
"Tell me again, what's his name?"
King Zhenxi emphasized.
Qian Hu was a little nervous, but he still said, "His name is Chen Xuan."
King of Zhenxi: "How young?"
Qian Hu: "He looks to be in his early twenties, but martial arts masters have long life spans, so it's normal for him to look young. If you pay a little attention to your appearance, you can look like you're in your twenties even if you're in your fifties or sixties."
However, just as he finished speaking, the King of Zhenxi's eyes narrowed into slits.
It seemed that this name touched him deeply!
"Chen Xuan, Chen Tianqiao's son!"
"Back then, when Chen Tianqiao died, his only son should have been killed, but he was spared because he was a useless person who couldn't cultivate. Therefore, no one cared about him."
"For twenty years, both the Chen clan and the imperial court have been secretly watching him. For twenty years, they have come to the same conclusion: he is a waste!"
"Some time ago, a secret letter came from the imperial court. Chen Xuan was exiled to the border for stealing treasures from the clan. He was pardoned for his crime."
"This person is already useless, so I don't take his affairs to heart anymore."
"I never expected that he would hide so deeply!"
"He's not a waste at all, but a monster who has hidden it from all of us!"
"Then, the secret treasure left behind by Chen Tianqiao must have fallen into his hands! It was entirely because of the good fortune left by Chen Tianqiao that he was able to reach the Martial King realm in his early twenties!"
"Now, everything makes sense! No wonder we've been searching for Chen Tianqiao's treasure for twenty years with no clues, because it's already in Chen Xuan's hands!"
Snapped!
As he spoke, the King of Zhenxi suddenly slammed his desk, his face filled with anger.
"All of us were fooled by a brat!"
Seeing him so furious, Zhao Ting and Qian Hu were both confused and scared.
