Chapter 15 — On the Snowy Night of Bereavement, I Used the Golden Token of Immunity to Overturn the Whole Family
But because they blocked that person's path. They are not willing, they are resentful. But in this dungeon where there is no sunlight, all unwillingness and resentment, as time passes, are eroded into despair. But now, I have arrived. Carrying his father's blood feud, carrying the Hua family's last card, and also carrying the fire of hope that could make them burn again. In the deepest darkness, the old man called "Tuong Cong" remained silent for a long time. So long that I thought he was dead.
“Huh huh…… ha ha ha……”
He suddenly laughed. The laugh was dry and hoarse, like two rotten pieces of wood rubbing against each other.
"Let me give you a simple sentence to calm the country and calm the country."
“Or for a daughter of Hua Kieu.”
"Girl, did you know, this old man had his arms and legs broken, his tendons cut, and he lay in this place where the sun didn't shine for eight years."
“Eight years later, the old man's bones have almost rotted away.”
“On what basis do you think that this old man can still help you?”
His words were filled with self-deprecation and sadness.
“Just based on the fact that you are still alive.”
I raised my head, my eyes looking steadily into the darkness.
"As long as you are still alive, you will still be the Prime Minister of Great Zhou in the past, and your disciples will spread throughout the world."
“With just one sentence from you, those who once received your favor, and now dare to be angry but do not dare to speak, will have support.”
“Your personality, your wisdom, is the sharpest blade in my hand.”
I straighten my back.
“My money, my people, are the strongest shields in your hands.”
"Let's join forces, this world may not be impossible to change."
Cong Tuong remained silent. This time, the silence was longer. The surrounding prisoners also held their breath, waiting for his answer. His decision will concern the fate of everyone in this place. It is also related to whether the first step in my grand revenge plan will be successful or not. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.
“What do you want this old man to help you do?”
A spark of joy arose in my heart. I know, he was moved.
“I need a list.”
"A list of all the officials that year had their charges fabricated by the Crown Prince, beaten to prison, or were demoted and exiled."
“The more detail the better.”
“We still need a part, currently in the court, who are the people we can attract to our side.”
“Finally, I need you to tell me something.”
“What is the greatest weakness of the Crown Prince, or in other words, what is his fatal proof?”
The dungeon once again fell into silence. We can hear Cong Tuong's heavy, suppressed breathing. He is pondering, thinking. This is a risk-it-all decision. If you win, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, your injustice will be washed away. If you lose, you won't be able to recover for all eternity, and you will die without a burial place.
“You come closer.”
Finally, he made a decision. It felt like a big rock had been lifted from my heart, so I quickly crawled to the front of the prison door. A strong and foul smell of blood hit me straight in my face. I tried to suppress the uncomfortable feeling, putting my ear close to the cold iron bars. Tuong Cong lowered his voice, just loud enough for me and him to hear clearly, although those standing nearby could still vaguely catch a few parts, but at this time it was already over. There was no way back, he slowly opened his mouth... He said a lot. Say each name, some people are familiar, some people are strangers. Talking about the royal court, the network of relationships is intricate and complex. Finally, he mentioned the fatal secret of the Crown Prince. When I heard that secret, my whole body froze. I finally know why the Crown Prince wanted to put my father to death. I finally knew that behind his immense power, there was hidden a terrifying plot, enough to overthrow the entire Great Zhou dynasty. It turned out that Co Canh Minh's deep and fake feelings towards me. It turned out that the strange death due to "wind and cold" of sister Lam Lang. Everything is just a small, insignificant link in this conspiracy. I originally thought that what I was facing was just an evil wolf. But now we know. What we have to confront is a poisonous dragon that wants to devour the whole world.
“Girl, are you scared?”
Cong Tuong felt my stiffness and asked in a low voice. I took a deep breath and slowly calmed down from the extreme shock. From the moment Hang Nhi died. In my heart, that word no longer exists. I raised my head, in my eyes was a madness that burned everything and a fierce fighting spirit.
“I'm just afraid he died too easily.”
I stretched out my hand, passed through the gap in the prison door, clasped my hands and bowed.
“Jiang Xiang, from today onwards, you and I are allies.”
In the darkness, a cold, powerless voice. But it carries with it a kind of determination to not spare anything, to go all the way.
