Chapter 233

“The Kingdom of T and the Country H are allies. I don’t need to tell you that. I am the guard by the eldest prince’s side, responsible for arranging and contacting the spies.”

Xing Chen sighed in pain and then leaned against the wall, as if he had given up struggling.

Wei Wei was afraid that Xing Chen would tear up his wound, so he grabbed the pillow on the ground so that Xing Chen could rest on it. His tears began to be welled up in his eyes again. Because Xing Chen was seriously injured, if it were anybody else, they probably would have passed out already. But Xing Chen acted like nothing had happened. He was just leaning on the pillow and chatting.

It wasn’t that Xing Chen couldn’t feel pain, but just that he was used to such pain already. It was better to say that he was numb to the pain and could no longer feel it physically.

“What are you crying about? I’m not dead yet!” Seeing that Wei Wei’s teary eyes, Xing Chen suddenly chuckled, and then he stroked Wei Wei’s head, telling him to stop crying. He looked like he was doting Wei Wei; clearly he was a big brother figure.

“But… Xing Chen, you are seriously injured.” Wei Wei wiped off his tears, lowered his head and cried silently.

‘Seriously injured? Am I? How long has it been? I could not remember anyone said that to me ever since my sister passed away, and no one would cry for me either ever since.’

Xing Chen smiled bitterly. He rubbed Wei Wei’s hair and whispered, “It’s fine. I won’t die.”

‘How could I die before revenging my sister? No way!’

Xing Chen’s eyes became sharp right away. At this time, he remembered Long Chen’s face. Needless to say, he hated Long Chen’s guts.

“Although I am your captive now, it doesn’t mean I will listen to you. He Jingyan, don’t you even think about making me betray my own country.” Xing Chen looked up at He Jingyan with a determined attitude.

‘I, Xing Chen, would rather die than sell out my own country.’

‘Tough guy indeed.’ He Jingyan chuckled in his heart.

‘I didn’t expect it would be people from the Kingdom T. The name of their eldest prince is Ke Jie as I remember. I’ve met him several times when I went to Kingdom T with that old bastard before. He seems to be a very ambitious man indeed. But what I don’t understand it that our country and the Kingdom T are allies. What could he get from setting me up?

Although countries are always at wars, both on the surface and in the dark, they are still fighting to protect their own interests. There is no need to waste all these efforts on me. But judging from his preparation, it seems that I have something he wants.’

“I really don’t understand. Since when did I offend the eldest prince of your country that made your master waste all these efforts to ‘build connection with me’.” He Jingyan said that calmly and slowly as he smiled and looked at Xing Chen. He seemed calm but dangerous.

Xing Chen also didn’t intend to hide it from He Jingyan. After all, it was not a piece of information that would sell out his country. “The current king of the T Kingdom is an Acting King. I think you’ve also heard about it. The eldest prince wants to take the throne, but he has to make a big contribution to impress the powerful ministers. So the eldest prince wants to use your hand to deal with the Z kingdom, which is also a member of the alliance. In that way, he will be able to be the new rightful king. He just wants to take credit of this.” Xing Chen said that with a calm expression on his face, as if he did not believe that Ke Jie’s plan would work.

‘The whereabouts of the old king remains unknown, and it’s time for the Acting King to resign too. It’s normal that the eldest prince would be nervous about all these. But I have to say, going against He Jingyan is definitely not a good plan.’

Thinking of which, Xing Chen suddenly mocked himself, ‘I guess I don’t have the right to judge him either since I am the guy who used him for my own revenge too!’
