Chapter 32

Seeing the situation, both Ji Wentian and Duanmu Cang let out a sigh of relief.

But then Ji Wentian's face turned worried again. After all, if the other three countries really intended to invade, they would be completely helpless.

Unless the Chen family really had a strong hidden strength, as Duanmu Cang said...

Ji Wentian thought about this and glanced at Chen Chang'an, whose expression remained calm.

"Brother Chang'an, are you okay?" Ji Mingyue stepped forward, hugging Chen Chang'an's arm, her face full of worry.

Chen Chang'an's earlier actions and words of protection had made her heart tremble.

At this moment, her eyes, which were slightly trembling, were filled with ripples.

Seeing this, Ji Wentian and Duanmu Cang's faces instantly broke into a smile like chrysanthemums.

"I'm fine, Princess, no need to worry." Chen Chang'an smiled.

"That's good."

Ji Mingyue lifted her delicate nose, revealing a smile and two small dimples on her cheeks.

"Haha, well... cough, cough, Mingyue, why don't you take a walk with your Brother Chang'an in the palace? I won't disturb you two." Ji Wentian, getting a nod from Duanmu Cang, said with a full smile, then quickly left.

The grand hall was left with only Chen Chang'an and Ji Mingyue, and the strong smell of blood.

At this moment, the outside was filled with hurried footsteps, and Ji Cangshan led a large group of guards, coming anxiously.

"Father, Sister, how are you?"

His voice was filled with panic and anxiety. Ji Cangshan glanced around the hall, finding that his father was not there, only Ji Mingyue and Chen Chang'an.

Ji Mingyue quickly let go of Chen Chang'an's arm, lowered her head slightly, and when she raised it again, she had regained her composure. She looked at the newcomer, "Brother, why did you come so late?"

"Sister, are you okay? Where is Father? I'm sorry, I came late!" Ji Cangshan came to Ji Mingyue, his face full of panic and worry.

"It's already fine, they're gone. Father... he left with Lord Duanmu."

Ji Mingyue said, her eyes showing no trace of reliance or relief.

It seemed she was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince.

Clearly, someone had entered the palace to bully her father, and he only came now, obviously on purpose!

She never thought her Crown Prince brother would be so cowardly!

"Uh..."

Ji Cangshan was stunned, a clear look of disappointment flashing across his face. He had wanted to show himself to his father, but found no one.

At this moment, a guard whispered something in Ji Cangshan's ear.

This made him suddenly look up at Chen Chang'an, his pupils flickering, then turning sinister.

He never thought... Chen Chang'an would outshine him!

Chen Chang'an looked at him, a faint sneer on his lips... This guy, when Dong Liantian and others were around, didn't dare to come...

He hid like a turtle, and now that they were gone, he suddenly appeared to show off... It seemed he was also a coward!

"Chen Chang'an!"

Suddenly, Ji Cangshan said coldly to Chen Chang'an, "You actually killed Dong Liantian and Zhao Zihan? You have a lot of nerve!

Do you know who they are?

Do you know that your actions today will bring great disaster to our Great Zhou Kingdom?!"

"Brother, he helped us!" Ji Mingyue said anxiously, her tone clearly dissatisfied.

"No, Sister, you don't understand, he is harming our Great Zhou Kingdom!"

Ji Cangshan quickly said, "Father and you were both deceived by him. If he really wanted to help us, he wouldn't have killed your Second Brother!"

"Now he has offended Dongxuan Kingdom and the Southeast Wind Alliance, he is trying to ruin our Great Zhou Kingdom!"

Ji Cangshan said, a look of wisdom flashing in his eyes, his face full of righteousness, "No, we must go to appease Dongxuan Kingdom, or war will break out, and the result will be a great calamity!"

"Clap, clap, clap."

Hearing this, Chen Chang'an lightly clapped his hands, sneering, "Wow, truly worthy of being the Crown Prince of our Great Zhou Kingdom!

Earlier, when the enemy came with such force, bullying your own father, you hid like a turtle!

Now you jump out to deal with your own people?

And you want to continue to flatter those who bullied you?

Tsk, tsk... The style of the Crown Prince... so weak and cowardly, it really opens my eyes!"

Chen Chang'an's ruthless words made Ji Cangshan's face turn dark.

"You!" He pointed at Chen Chang'an, about to explode, but suddenly remembered the ferocity of the person in front of him, unsure if he would dare to attack.

Thinking of this, he reluctantly put down his arrogant hand and swallowed his words.

Seeing the Crown Prince humiliated, Ji Mingyue didn't speak, but felt that Chen Chang'an was right.

She glared at him, "Brother, how can you be like this? Brother Chang'an helped us vent our anger!"

Ji Cangshan said coldly, "Sister, you don't understand, Dong Liantian and Zhao Zihan are not important, but their backers... are truly terrifying!

Chen Chang'an's actions will bring great disaster to our Great Zhou Kingdom!"

"Ha!"

At this moment, Chen Chang'an let out an unmasked sneer of contempt, "Those two are indeed not important, but their arrogance when they came in... I finally understand why!

It turns out the Crown Prince of Great Zhou Kingdom is a spineless coward!

No wonder they dared to bully us and you hid, and now you want to flatter them!"

Chen Chang'an's words undoubtedly pierced Ji Cangshan's weak heart.

As the Crown Prince, and being repeatedly humiliated by Chen Chang'an, his anger flared up, and he roared:

"Chen Chang'an, you are not of the royal family, what do you know?

You know nothing!

What right do you have to tell me what to do?

Do you know that this concerns the life and death of millions in our Great Zhou Kingdom?

You may feel good now, but what about next? The ones who will suffer are us!"

Ji Cangshan's face turned red, truly looking like a man of great righteousness.

Chen Chang'an's face was full of contempt, with a faint sneer of disdain,

"Ha, Ji Cangshan, do you know that the enemy is using words like 'massive army' and 'destroying the Great Zhou Kingdom' to intimidate us?

Do you still want to grovel? Your knees are really soft!

If I'm not mistaken, the Great Zhou Kingdom should have a sleeping ancestor, who is at the semi-Emperor level?

In this Dongzhou region, the semi-Emperor level is already the pinnacle!

If they dare to come, and we mobilize all our hidden strength, the result will be mutual destruction!

So for them, the best method is to take us without a fight!"

Chen Chang'an said this, staring at Ji Cangshan, and sneered:

"Cowardly Crown Prince, the best strategy for your Great Zhou royal family is to put up a strong front and be aggressive!"

"The stronger you are, the more Dongxuan Kingdom and the Southeast Wind Alliance will fear, suspect, and even try to understand our hidden strength before daring to declare war on us!

After all, the development of the Great Zhou Kingdom over a thousand years, if used well, is very intimidating!

Moreover, there are countless noble families and sects within the country!

If you can use them, they will be a powerful force!"

"..." Ji Cangshan was stunned, his mouth opening and closing, but he suddenly realized that Chen Chang'an's words had some truth to them.

But Ji Mingyue listened intently, her eyes shining with surprise as she looked at Chen Chang'an.

At this moment, Chen Chang'an lightly patted Ji Cangshan's cheek, sneering:

"You, you are not even as good as Ji Canghai! If I hadn't killed him, would you still be able to keep your position as Crown Prince?"

"You... you...!!" Feeling his cheek being patted, Ji Cangshan finally reacted from his shock, stepping back two steps, his whole body trembling with anger.

He was, after all, the Crown Prince of a country, and to be so ignored?

"You have a lot of nerve, do you really think I won't dare to kill you?!"

"Ha!"

Chen Chang'an sneered again, stepping forward and patting his face, "Kill me? You... dare...?"

Ji Cangshan, feeling his cheek being patted, was stunned, then instantly stepped back two steps, his whole body trembling with anger.
