Chapter 269
However, Cao Zhengyi could not back away from it. As long as he had a slightest hesitation, he believed that Chu Yunsheng would kill him right there.
This was the biggest gamble he was going to make in his life, and the wager was his life.
If Chamberlain won, then he would be promoted to a position that no one in the castle would dare to challenge. If Chamberlain lost, then not only just him, but his family would also die!
“Ask your men to watch the movements of all the slaveholders. Bring ‘The Fire Messenger’s Command Token’ as well. Then, wait for my orders,” Chu Yunsheng passed the token to Cao Zhengyi and said.
“Y… Yes, I’ll do it now,” Cao Zhengyi stuttered…
…
“Big brother, that the old man should be dead by now, haha!” Fu Hanbiao laughed unbridledly.
“That may not be the case, I am just worried that the fire messenger is going to save him,” Luo Hengshen was still worried.
Chu Yunsheng then put Qian Bi sword back into the storage talisman and took out the long thin flaming sword.
When he turned around, he saw Luo Hengshen drop the weapon that he got from the divine realm and staggered to one side of the wall. He was constantly shaking his head and murmuring, “no… this is not real… It is not real… We have vowed that we will experience life and death together. We will establish our kingdom together… Why? why? why?”
Suddenly, he let out a bitter laugh, “Do it! Do it! Nothing is real in this world, everything is a lie… There is nothing real… Nothing!!…”
Chu Yunsheng put out the fire on the sword and said, “I can let you live, but you will need to tell me where you store the grains!”
Chu Yunsheng had already gotten some information from Cao Zhengyi that the castellan was secretly moving the grains out of the castle. Although he did not know if it was true or not, it was better to ask this second brother of theirs.
Luo Hengshen still murmured, “Grains? No matter how much grains we stored, what is the use of them now? I would rather die as early as possible…”
Chu Yunsheng knew that the betrayal of his brothers had huge emotional impacts on him, so he did not want to threaten him. Instead, he said, “even if you don’t want to live, have you thought about your family, Do they not deserve your love? Or you prefer to die with this guy who just betrayed you?”
Luo Hengshen sneered, “Yuan Hongxue, I know the fire messenger, whoever betrayed him will not have a good end! So stop lying to me.”
“Yes, the fire messenger does not like traitors, but how does he know that you betrayed him? There are always some rooms for spies, right?” Chu Yunsheng said.
Luo Hengshen sneered, “you want me to be a traitor?”
Chu Yunsheng asked, “Do you think that those two people deserve your loyalty?”
“Yuan Hongxue! I will tell you where I store the grains. But I only want you to guarantee the safety of our family!” Luo Hengshen stared at him and said.
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second and said, “He just betrayed you. Why are you still doing this for him?”
Luo Hengshen shook his head, but he did not say anything.
At this moment, many skywalkers had already heard the noises caused by the fight, they all flocked to the secret chamber and looked at the bodies of castellan and the Third General in shock.
“Lei Ming and Fu Hanbiao were working in collusion with the castle of Snowstorm, they were attempting to overthrow the fire messenger. Chamberlain, I had already received the order from the fire messenger to execute those two people. No action will be taken against those who had close relationships with them. I am hereby informing all the 7 high-ranking slaveholders to gather at the palace to wait for the fire messenger’s orders!” Chu Yunsheng was wearing the cloaked man’s cloak, plus Cao Zhengyi’s men were maintaining order in the crowd, so no one dared to say anything.
“Also, from now on. The castle will be managed by Chamberlain until the fire messenger finds a new castellan!”
