Chapter 5692

Wuchuan Weng loosened his hand, the hammer fell to the ground with a thud, and there was a dull roar.

He sat beside the pool in despair, bowed his head and sighed, his face full of helplessness.

Lin Bai clearly revealed Wuchuan Weng's purpose of returning to the imperial capital in a single sentence, so that Wuchuan Weng removed his strong disguise.

"Returning to the imperial capital is not what I want."

Kirikawa Ong shook his head and sighed.

"Then why did the senior come back?" Lin Bai asked in confusion.

Wuchuan Weng had already decided to leave the imperial capital, and even gave up his identity as the chief refiner of Tianji Pavilion.

Why is he coming back?

The Chief Refiner of Tianji Pavilion, this is not an ordinary position.

In the court of Chu State, the chief refiner of Tianji Pavilion is also equivalent to a second-rank official in the court.

They work exclusively for the royal family and are deeply favored by the royal family.

It is no exaggeration to say that... almost half of the magic weapons in the Chu royal family are currently sacrificed and repaired by Wuchuan Weng.

For example, high-level magical weapons such as Taiyi Shenbing, Daluo Shenbing, and Hunyuan Shenbing are also treasures that can only be accessed by chief refiners such as Wuchuan Weng.

The royal family must have a lot of trust and reliance on Wuchuan Weng. For such an important person, his departure must be a loss to the Chu royal family.

In order to leave the imperial capital, Wuchuan Weng must have worked hard.

How could he possibly return to the imperial capital?

"I was ordered to return." Weng Wuchuan shook his head with determination in his eyes.

edict?

Hearing this word, Lin Bai immediately understood.

In the entire imperial capital of the Chu kingdom, only the emperor of Chu in the imperial palace is qualified to command such characters as Wuchuan Weng.

"Whatever you want to know, just ask."

Kirikawa Weng sighed softly and said.

Lin Bai said, "Di Chu called you back, didn't he ask you about these things?"

Wuchuan Weng chuckled, turned his head to look at Lin Bai, and said with a chuckle, "Although Lin Bai has an unparalleled talent in martial arts, you don't seem to be very good at power struggles."

Lin Bai frowned slightly, not knowing what he meant.

Wuchuan Weng sighed softly, "Even if Emperor Chu knew about it, so what?"

"What do you want Emperor Chu to do?"

"Do you intend to bring all guilty people to justice?"

Lin Bai asked back, "Isn't it?"

"Hahaha." Wuchuan Weng laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "Son Lin Bai, you need to know a truth, there is no absolute justice in this world, and there is no absolute black and white."

"The royal family of the Chu kingdom doesn't care about the so-called fairness, nor the so-called righteousness and evil."

"All they care about is one thing, and that's winning or losing."

"Winner takes all, loser for Kou!"

"That's all."

Wuchuan Weng pointed out the darkness within the Chu royal family.

There is no right or wrong, no justice, only victory or defeat, only success or failure.

The winner is naturally the king.

The loser is buried as a bandit.

Wuchuan Weng sighed softly: "The dead are already dead after all. Even if justice is given to them, it is only for the people of the world to see, and the dead will not be resurrected."

"Do you know what is most important to the royal family?"

"Is it an extremely powerful army that can conquer the heavens and the world?"

"Or do you have a powerhouse that is unparalleled in the world?"

"neither."

"For the royal family, the most important thing is... inheritance!"

Lin Bai sat silently beside Wuchuan Weng, listening to him, seemed to understand something.

But it seemed that he didn't understand anything.

Lin Bai said: "So... even if Emperor Chu guessed that the first prince, the second prince, and even the twelfth prince were all wronged and died, he was not willing to investigate this matter!!"

"As the senior said, the dead are already dead, and even if justice is given to them, they will not survive."

"Instead of that, why don't you close one eye and let this thing pass."

"Inheritance that the royal family values, there are only a few outstanding princes. If the only remaining princes are killed for this matter, then the Chu kingdom will have no successor."

"Is that the truth?"

Lin Bai asked with a smile to Weng Wuchuan.

Kirikawa Ong grinned, shook his head, and didn't say much.

Lin Bai asked: "The senior saw the clues in this matter, did you ever tell Emperor Chu?"

Weng Wuchuan shook his head and said, "No."

Lin Bai asked, "Why?"

Weng Wuchuan smiled and said, "Because I know the ruthlessness of the royal family!"

"This old man has practiced for 11,000 years, and has been working for the royal family for 10,000 years."

"I know the current royal family of Chu Kingdom better than you, and I also know the current Emperor Chu better than you!"

"The current emperor of Chu is a foresighted and scheming master."

"He tends to plot the bigger picture and do some extraordinary things."

"This is also the reason why His Royal Highness Chen Wang was suddenly demoted and left the imperial capital!"

"It's also the reason why Princess Chu Xi left the Tianshui Sect and became the Sect Master of the Tianshui Sect."

"That's why the Eighth Prince..."

Mentioning the Eighth Prince, Weng Wuchuan shook his head and did not continue.

"I judged back then that even if I reported this matter to Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu would not investigate it, but would instead find a calamity for me."

"Emperor Chu saw the clue, and he also understood that I knew something."

"So when I asked Emperor Chu to resign, Emperor Chu had almost no hesitation and let me go immediately."

Kirikawa Weng slowly talked about the old things that happened a thousand years ago.

Lin Bai also gradually understood what happened that year.

The death of the eldest prince was the cause.

The death of the second prince made Emperor Chu suspicious.

Immediately after, the twelfth prince was found to have sneaked into the harem and had an affair with the concubine, and the twelfth prince died tragically in prison.

Although Emperor Chu saw some of them strange, as Wuchuan Weng said, even if Emperor Chu ordered an investigation, so what?

Even if the real culprit is found out, do they still have to kill them together?

The dead are already dead, and giving them the truth will not bring them back to life.

Therefore, after the death of the Twelfth Prince, Emperor Chu, for various reasons, at that time His Highness King Chen was demoted from the Imperial Capital, and the Eighth Prince was allowed to leave the palace. Even the Nineteenth Princess, Emperor Chu, left the Imperial Capital and went to Tianshui Sect.

His Royal Highness Chen Wang seemed to be demoted, but in fact it was Emperor Chu's protection for him!

"If you think so, His Royal Highness Chen Wang was banished from the imperial capital because of the protection of Emperor Chu..."

"Then after His Royal Highness Chen leaves the imperial capital, it is very likely that it is not just as simple as just staying in the fief..."

"Senior Wuchuan Weng also said... Emperor Chu is a man of foresight, and sometimes he will always endure for the sake of the overall situation."

"Then he demoted His Royal Highness King Chen to leave the imperial capital, and the matter is not so simple."

Lin Bai faintly guessed that Emperor Chu probably had some secret arrangement with His Royal Highness Chen Wang, so that His Royal Highness Chen Wang left the imperial capital.

Lin Bai asked, "Senior, do you know His Royal Highness Chen Wang?"

Wuchuan Weng chuckled and said, "His Majesty Emperor Chu has many princes, but the most outstanding are only six, the first prince, the second prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, and the twelfth prince." "It was still the seventh prince back then. His Royal Highness Chen Wang is considered a peerless generation in the imperial capital, how can this old man not know?"
