Chapter 1430: To Avoid Falling into a Trap

Was this a joke? The Tiger Talisman was an important item. It could control the entire Suxi Army.

“Yes, it’s lost.”

Xia Huafeng nodded, but he was not surprised. Even when he first heard the news, he was not surprised.

“It appears to be lost. That’s why he has to die.”

Xia Junfeng was momentarily stunned by his brother’s words but immediately understood.

How could this be considered lost? The old Emperor definitely sent someone to take it! Perhaps he had them kill the Eldest Prince and then take the Tiger Talisman as well.

“That’s quite a clever move to kill two birds with one stone,” He gritted his teeth and glared at the lantern in his hand.

The Eldest Prince had managed the Suxi Army very well. They rarely requested military funds from the imperial court and relied on his mother’s family.

The Suxi Army went from a defeated army to one that was feared by all the neighboring countries in the western region. The Eldest Prince had exhausted all his blood, sweat, and tears.

The old Emperor had some clever ideas! He let his son’s maternal family help him raise an army, and he came to reap the benefits once it became strong. He even killed people he could no longer control.

And in the end, he blamed Eldest Brother Yan for the death of the Eldest Prince.

“The Eldest Prince’s death is understandable; he wants to frame Eldest Brother. But what about the Empress Dowager’s death? Does he also want to frame Eldest Brother for her death? Like a two-pronged approach?”

“Because the Eldest Prince didn’t have enough power.” Xia Huafeng chuckled.

“What do you mean?” Xia Junfeng asked, but he quickly understood without any need for explanation. His eyes darkened.

Was this to lure Qian Jiyun back? The old Emperor really used every conceivable means! He was even willing to kill his mother, who gave birth to him and raised him, to achieve his goal!

“How can such a person be worthy of becoming an emperor?!”

“Whether he’s worthy of it or not, he’s already in that position.”

Xia Huafeng did not have any special feelings. What was it like to be superior? He genuinely was not very competent and did not wish to care about even things within his reach.

“Don’t tell anyone your location. Also, where are the two children from the Prince Zhan Yun Residence?”

“What for?”

At the mention of this, Xia Junfeng became vigilant, even though the person opposite him was his brother.

“What can I do?”

Xia Huafeng nearly slapped his brother.

What else could he do? He was just reminding him that the old Emperor was worried about not being able to find anything to use against Qian Jiyun.

“Father told me to tell you that the old Emperor is looking for the two little ones. Not only them, but the other three little ones are also being watched. That old hag from Prince Zhan Yun Residence is also thinking of a way to find them.”

“Ha!” Xia Junfeng laughed.

Birds of a feather flocked together! Was this how they were planning to threaten Qian Jiyun?

“We really can’t keep that old hag alive.”

They had to kill that old hag as soon as Qian Jiyun returned. He really did not understand why Qian Jiyun kept that old thing around.

“Prince Zhan Yun will deal with this matter once he returns. You, on the other hand, stay hidden. Don’t enter the city again, and don’t look for anyone in our residence to avoid falling into a trap,” Xia Huafeng said.

“Is Mother up to no good again?”

Upon hearing that, Xia Junfeng knew what was going on.
