Capítulo 1854: Chapter 1855: The Monarch’s Open Sche
Xuan Zhen looked at Ye Xunhuan with a vigilant expression, and was not very surprised.
In his view, Ye Xunhuan maintaining such vigilance is completely normal. After all, when Ye Xunhuan first took Qiu Ruoxi to the capital, Yan Zhengrong’s son, Yan Jinglin, wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan to avenge Yan Qingdi, only to be killed by Ye Xunhuan. Subsequently, Ye Xunhuan aid to kill Yan Zhengrong, and it was he who intervened to stop him.
Even he promised Ye Xunhuan that Yan Zhengrong and the entire Yan family would not trouble him. However, facts have proven that his promises were useless, as the Yan family continued to deal with Ye Xunhuan as they wished!
Now that he appears again, due to factions and past events, it’s impossible for Ye Xunhuan not to be wary of Xuan Zhen.
Xuan Zhen chuckled lightly, “While it’s true that the sword takes an unconventional path, timing and setting are also important. You’re not the sa as before now!”
“Even if I wanted to do sothing, I wouldn’t be able to defeat you. I might even end up being killed by you. Such foolish things are impossible for to attempt!”
When Xuan Zhen first t Ye Xunhuan, Ye Xunhuan had not yet reached the human-celestial realm. But now Ye Xunhuan is at the celestial human realm, so he can’t do anything against him.
Indeed, as he said, if he attempted anything improper, he might be slain by Ye Xunhuan!
Ye Xunhuan slowly walked to the sofa and sat down directly, looking at Xuan Zhen. “I wonder what brings you here?”
Nothing happens without a reason, as the saying goes.
After Xuan Zhen appeared to save Yan Zhengrong once, he never appeared again. Now appearing suddenly, it’s definitely not just to catch up with Ye Xunhuan.
Besides, Ye Xunhuan didn’t feel there was anything to reminisce about with Xuan Zhen.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s straightforward question, Xuan Zhen said softly, “Marshal, you should know better than anyone about the King’s injury, right?”
“That’s right!” Ye Xunhuan openly admitted without evasion. “It happened in front of when he escaped.”
“So, are you here to check if I’m dead?” Ye Xunhuan took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a light puff, saying, “If that’s the case, please go back and let him know he’s disappointed. I’m still alive, and I will live to see him dead!”
Looking at Ye Xunhuan’s sharp deanor, Xuan Zhen chuckled lightly. “Marshal, don’t you understand that the rigid often breaks? Or do you believe your fists are strong enough to face the King directly?”
“How do you know unless you try?”
“Marshal, it’s not that I underestimate you, but you’re truly no match for the King,” Xuan Zhen casually said. “The King is far from simple as you might think!”
“That I know. Becoming the head Guardian must an having exceptional skills,” Ye Xunhuan said fairly.
Every person who becos a ruler almost always has outstanding capabilities; otherwise, how could they beco a leader?
“Since you’re aware of this, you should understand that if the King wanted to kill you, you’d be bones by now!” Xuan Zhen said lightly. “The King has let you live and grow to this point, do you know why?”
“Why do you say?”
“If I tell you he’s as solitary as snow, would you believe ?” Xuan Zhen said leisurely.
“Solitary as snow?”
Xuan Zhen exhaled heavily and said, “To tell you the truth, I did co this ti under the King’s orders, and he instructed to inform you that Jiangzhong City is restless. However, he hopes that even if you sense sothing, don’t act recklessly!”
“What do you an?”
“Do you truly think the King is injured?” Xuan Zhen squinted in disdain. “He’s not seriously injured; everything you saw is a facade!”
“Furthermore, he wants to tell you that the Guardian left by your mother is quite capable, possibly even comparable to him!” Xuan Zhen relayed the King’s ssage completely to Ye Xunhuan!
Ye Xunhuan’s face suddenly turned grim, and his gaze toward Xuan Zhen beca sowhat unfriendly.
Ye Xunhuan learned about his rescue through Qiu Shuihan but didn’t expect the King to already know.
“Don’t look at like that; I’m just a ssenger!” Xuan Zhen said indifferently. “I’ve delivered the ssage, and I won’t linger, knowing I’m not welco!”
With this, Xuan Zhen prepared to get up and leave.
“Why did the King want you to tell these things?”
“Whatever personal grievances you have, I don’t know. But the King suggests putting them aside for the greater cause,” Xuan Zhen spoke softly. “Now, there’s a rumor he’s injured, and many are pouring into Huaxia, seemingly targeting you and the Taiji Tablet in your possession. However, so people have hidden intentions!”
“He wants to sweep them all in, making them understand that those who offend Huaxia will be severely punished!”
“What a clever move, drawing them into the trap!” Ye Xunhuan sneered. “Pretending injury and lurking in the shadows, using as bait to achieve his goal!”
“Isn’t he afraid I’ll expose the plan?”
“Marshal, do you think an open sche can be undone?”
Ye Xunhuan fell silent.
The King is now playing an open sche, mingled with bits of deception.
The news of the King’s injury has spread thoroughly, magnified widely, almost convincing everyone. Even if Ye Xunhuan informs everyone that the King is scheming against them, others wouldn’t believe it, and might suspect Ye Xunhuan is bluffing, trying to use the King and the Guardian’s reputation to make them behave.
A plan that looks like a conspiracy but is essentially an open sche has quietly set into motion, centered around Ye Xunhuan.
The key is, Ye Xunhuan must act as bait, whether he wants to or not.
He has no choice.
Perhaps there is, which would an leaving Huaxia, fleeing to another country. But then, more people might take action.
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan is tied to certain concerns here, making leaving impossible.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s silence, Xuan Zhen smiled and continued, “Marshal, to be honest, in this world, few people are noticed and valued by the King as much as you, definitely among the top three!”
“Alright, I’m leaving now. Be careful, as the King won’t always let you grow, and won’t hesitate to end certain things when necessary!”
With these words, Xuan Zhen didn’t hesitate or delay, stepping briskly toward the exit.
Ye Xunhuan gazed at Xuan Zhen’s disappearing figure, deep in thought.
