Chapter 36 One Arrow, Two Eagles
Chapter 36 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
A deep, resonant voice came from outside, and Xue Beng was stunned for a long while.
Mo Xuewei remained as gentle and refined as ever, completely unaffected by Xue Beng's words.
Qian Renxue took several steps back and stood in a less conspicuous place.
Then, a middle-aged man wearing armor walked in.
He was imposing and burly, with two giant battle swords on his shoulders, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring presence!
He was Pang Long, a trusted confidant of Emperor Xue Ye and the guardian of the Heaven Dou Empire. He rarely showed himself, but this time he came out because Emperor Xue Ye had entrusted him to come and see his good-for-nothing son.
In fact, Emperor Xueye did have suspicions about Xue Qinghe, but he couldn't say it openly, so he could only send Pang Long to see if his eldest son had any other intentions.
As soon as Pang Long arrived, he heard Xue Beng spouting nonsense. Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, didn't say anything and spoke politely. This made Pang Long suspect that Xue Beng had been brainwashed by someone and was saying such thoughtless things.
When Xue Beng saw that the person who came was a confidant of Emperor Xue Ye, he immediately smiled. He knew that his father would not allow this imposter to punish him!
In order to get out as soon as possible, Xue Beng hurriedly said, "Senior Pang Long, I have been wronged! This was all Xue Qinghe's doing; he is the real culprit!"
He immediately bit Xue Qinghe, and Pang Long, who was never one to laugh, became even less so: "Fourth Prince, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Pang Long frowned and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince has been handling affairs in other cities lately and hasn't returned to Tiandou City at all. How could he possibly plot against you? Besides, it's not surprising that you've been spending so much time in brothels. Which woman in the brothel doesn't know you? Even passersby have seen you go in and out countless times! You say His Highness plotted against you? Did he really plot against you by sending you to brothels? Are your legs part of his heart? Can he send you wherever he wants? Fourth Prince, listen to this, is it a pleasant thing to say?"
Immediately after the avalanche, Emperor Xueye summoned him and ordered him to investigate the matter.
It turns out that avalanches have been a frequent occurrence for a long time, not just recently; they've been a regular occurrence before, only stopping for a while!
Pang Long was furious when he saw the information he had gathered.
Emperor Xueye's offspring were already few, and to make matters worse, he had such a disappointing son!
After being scolded by Pang Long, Xue Beng was completely stunned.
Isn't this to help him?
Why would you say something like that?
He glanced at "Xue Qinghe" and, seeing that the man remained unchanged, Xue Beng couldn't help but say to Pang Long, "Senior Pang Long, don't be fooled by this person's mask! He's not my elder brother! He's the young master of the Spirit Hall!"
Upon hearing this, both Mo Xuewei and Qian Renxue were startled.
How did the avalanche know about this?!
Pang Long was surprised to hear this, but more than that, he was disappointed in Xue Beng: "Fourth Prince, you have really lost your mind and started talking nonsense."
He stepped forward, opened the cell door, and pressed down on Xue Beng, gagging him: "Fourth Prince, forgive this old minister's disrespect, but this is His Majesty's decree. If the Fourth Prince speaks nonsense, then this old minister may deal with the Fourth Prince directly!"
Xue Beng stared wide-eyed, never expecting Pang Long to treat him like this. He struggled, trying to speak, but Pang Long didn't give him the chance.
As Mo Xuewei watched the avalanche, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
The same is true of the thousand-foot snow.
Their identities cannot be exposed like this.
Even if Pang Long didn't believe him, once these words reached Emperor Xue Ye's ears, he would inevitably become suspicious. Although, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't find out whether they were really Xue Qinghe.
Pang Long secured the avalanche, and Mo Xuewei smiled respectfully and said, "Thank you for making this trip, Senior Pang Long."
Pang Long waved his hand, glanced at Mo Xuewei, his eyes somewhat complicated: "Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. I'm just following orders."
He thought to himself, "They're both His Majesty's sons, so why is there such a big difference?"
Then, he turned to Xue Beng and said, "Fourth Prince, effective immediately, you are exiled to the border for three years. This is His Majesty's decree. He hopes you will reflect on your actions and refrain from uttering any more words that would hurt His Majesty or bring shame upon the royal family!"
After saying this, he said to Xue Qinghe, "Your Highness, what the Fourth Prince said today is pure nonsense. Please don't take it to heart, and don't hold it against the Fourth Prince. He was just misled by others, which is why he said such things."
"Bewitched? Who bewitched Fourth Brother? Who exactly is it that wants to ruin the relationship between us brothers? And also wants to bring shame to the royal family?" Mo Xuewei frowned. It was rare for the gentle and refined Crown Prince to lose his temper, which was enough to prove that she had zero tolerance for this matter.
Her reaction was exactly what Pang Long expected. No one would be unresponsive to such baseless accusations; it would be strange if they were.
Pang Long said, "The attendant beside the Fourth Prince has confessed that the person who bewitched the Fourth Prince is named Tang San, a student of Shrek Academy. His Majesty has ordered his arrest, and anyone who resists will be executed on the spot!"
Mo Xuewei was slightly surprised.
Tang San?
Who is Tang San?
She asked.
Even if you know, pretend you don't.
Pang Long explained, "This old minister doesn't know who he is either, but the Fourth Prince's attendant confessed that the words the Fourth Prince spoke were spoken to him by Tang San. In addition, this Tang San was introduced to the Fourth Prince by Dugu Bo, so this matter is also related to Dugu Bo. Later, I still need to invite that old man to come and question him."
Pang Long gets a headache whenever Dugu Bo is mentioned.
Dugu Bo was a titled Douluo, and he had a strange personality. He really didn't want to deal with that guy.
Mo Xuewei nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood. She said, "Senior Pang Long doesn't need to invite Senior Dugu anymore."
"No need? Why?" Pang Long asked, puzzled.
Mo Xuewei explained, "The reason why Fourth Brother caused such a scene at the brothel that day was because he had a conflict with Senior Dugu. Come to think of it, it was also because of that Tang San. No wonder that name sounded familiar to me just now."
Is it also related to Tang San?
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince also know Tang San?" Pang Long asked.
Mo Xuewei nodded, then shook her head. "I've only heard of him. My teacher, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Leader Ning, mentioned this Tang San to me. It's said that Tang San is a very outstanding talent. I'm very interested in him, but because I'm busy with many things, I haven't investigated him."
"Later, by chance, I met Senior Dugu's granddaughter, and thus got to know Senior Dugu. Through Senior Dugu, I learned that Tang San was completely different from the person my teacher had described."
