C404 Betrayal

After Xie Qingrong agreed to Gongsun Heng's request, Gongsun Heng instructed his subordinates to bring Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen back to the tavern. After returning to the tavern, Xuanyuan Chen still had a lot of questions.

"A Rong, why did you accept Gongsun Heng's invitation just now?" Xuanyuan Chen did not understand.

The longer they stayed in the Chu Country, the longer it would take for them to return to Wu Huan and the Jiang Prefecture. The unknown dangers contained within, it was impossible for Xie Qingrong to not know, so what was Xie Qingrong's goal?

Xie Qingrong held Xuanyuan Chen's hand tightly, and laughed slightly, the smile on her lips revealed a hint of elegance, and said seriously: "Chen, Gongsun Heng tried to persuade us to stay again and again, but the intention was already so obvious, don't you see it?"

Of course he understood Gongsun Heng's intention, it was to delay them from returning to the Heavenly Saint Realm. But why would Gongsun Heng delay time, what benefits would it bring him?

Xuanyuan Chen held onto Xie Qingrong's hand, used some strength, and pulled Xie Qingrong into her embrace. With a soft voice, he said, "I naturally know Gongsun Heng's goal, but why he wants to delay us from returning to the Heavenly Sacred Grounds is unknown."

Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows, and laughed lightly: "Perhaps, Gongsun Heng wants to probe us? If we were patient enough, maybe Gongsun Heng would want to form an alliance with us? "

Xuanyuan Chen shook his head, rejecting Xie Qingrong's words. If Gongsun Heng's goal was to sign the agreement with the Heavenly Sage, then why did he sign the agreement with Wu Huan before?

Xie Qingrong looked at Xuanyuan Chen who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but lean forward and kiss him on the lips, saying: "Chen, do you know of an ancient saying? There were no eternal enemies, no eternal friends. Sometimes, enemies can also be friends, and friends can also become enemies. "

Xuanyuan Chen was suddenly enlightened, and he finally understood what Gongsun Heng was thinking.

The matter of Mo Yun secretly using Gongsun Anan to settle the matter with Xie Qingrong in the Chu Country had caused Gongsun Heng to be in great trouble. Gongsun Heng must be planning to shake off this alliance of Mo Yun's.

Otherwise, the Army of Chu outside of the Jiang Zhou City would not just be setting up camp here.

All of these were for Mo Yun to see, but Gongsun Heng's real purpose was just to form an alliance with the Heavenly Sage, a good plan to get rid of the golden cicada. As expected of the famous Crown Prince of the Chu Country, she sat firmly on the throne of the crown prince at the age of ten.

Now it would seem that he really did have a few tricks up his sleeve.

Xuanyuan Chen's eyes revealed an understanding look. Xie Qingrong rubbed the brows that Xuanyuan Chen had furrowed his brows tightly, and laughed: "Now you understand, right?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen hugged Xie Qingrong, and nodded strongly. His entire head was buried in Xie Qingrong's shoulder, and he inhaled deeply at the faint fragrance on her body.

"No wonder at that time, when I wanted to kill Gongsun Anan, you stopped me and made me release Gongsun Anan. After all, Gongsun Anan is only a pitiful person who was taken advantage of. I thought you couldn't bear it, but it turns out you had already thought of this at the time. "

Xuanyuan Chen praised her without hesitation.

Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, a smile appearing on her lips. Actually, she did not think this far that day, it was just that she could not make a move against the Royal Family of Chu within the Chu Country, otherwise the atmosphere between the two countries would become even more tense.

Even if Gongsun Anan had done so many things that disgusted her, she had to suppress the disgust in her heart and release Gongsun Anan, otherwise, it would affect Xuanyuan Chen's reputation.

If not for Xuanyuan Chen, she would have already taken care of Gongsun Anan himself.

When had she changed from a self-centered personality to the look as if she was acting on behalf of others?

She laughed, but her laughter was suddenly suppressed by Xuanyuan Chen's kiss that came reaching to her throat.

The two of them fought and fought from evening until late at night before finally falling asleep exhausted.

Xuanyuan Chen stroked the hair on Xie Qingrong's forehead that was slightly drenched in sweat, and laughed lightly. Before going to sleep, he gently took a look, and then, he also entered the land of dreams.

On one side, the two of them were in a deep sleep, while on the other side, they were unable to stay still.

Mo Yun's palm ruthlessly slapped towards Gongsun Heng, but it was easily resolved by Gongsun Heng. The two fought with their inner strength, but they were evenly matched, yet in the end, both were heavily injured.

Blood slowly trickled out of the corner of Gongsun Heng's mouth as he looked at Mo Yun with a cold smile.

Mo Yun ruthlessly wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, and said fiercely, "Gongsun Heng, you actually went against your oath, and disregarded the alliance."

He had his suspicions from the beginning, but today, he came to investigate and indeed, he saw the drawn up treaty on Gongsun Heng's desk in his study. This treaty was about the alliance between the Heavenly Sage and Chu Country.

Sure enough, Gongsun Heng had already betrayed him.

Hearing that, Gongsun Heng suppressed his pupils, and spoke with a low voice that was as clear as spring water with a tinkling sound, "Why does Mr. Mo place all his crimes on me? Why did Mr. Mo ignore the alliance? Could it be that Mr. Mo really did not know the reason? Do I need to be alone, bit by bit, and tell you everything personally? "

On this point, Mo Yun felt wronged, but he still kept his mouth shut, unwilling to suffer any loss, and tried to defend himself, "But you don't have to directly betray the alliance! The Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country are both powerful countries, but one mountain cannot have two tigers. Are you sure you want to fight with the tiger? "

"Heh." Gongsun Heng laughed disdainfully, "What Mr. Mo said sounds good. But why did he feel that working with Mr. Mo was like working with a farmer or a snake? Mr. Mo did not care about the benefits of the Chu Country, and brought the people into the Chu Country without permission, and used their safety to get rid of Xie Qingrong. "

"Mr. Mo probably never thought about what kind of crisis would happen in the Chu Country after Xie Qingrong is eliminated. With the importance that Xuanyuan Chen attaches to Xie Qingrong, once Xie Qingrong is eliminated, Xuanyuan Chen's anger will become his beauty. At that time, when the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country fight, the two sides will not stop until one side dies, and Mr. Mo can take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the benefits, why wouldn't he do that? "

"What did Mr. Mo think?"

Mo Yun clapped his hands and applauded Gongsun Heng's guesses, laughing coldly and arrogantly, "Every word spoken by His Highness the crown prince is the truth, I had this plan in my heart from the start. Since the crown prince knew from the beginning, why did he stop midway? "

"Because Mr. Gu and Mo did not have such a plan in the beginning. It was only Mr. Mo who had betrayed the alliance and was forced to do so. I know Mr. Mo is a hundred year old family with countless inheritances, but so what? "

"How many of the ten great families are still left on this earth? Sooner or later, aristocratic families will submit to the country. " Gongsun Heng said indifferently as he stood with his hands behind his back. Not only did the blood at the corner of his mouth not weaken his aura, it instead strengthened his bones.

"His Highness's words are not without reason, but in the world today, most of the aristocratic families still have control over it. Even if His Highness wants to deny it, you can't deny it, right?" Mo Yun said coldly.
