Chapter 548 - 527 First Update
"What do you think you can use to negotiate with me now?" Zheng Congyuan spoke slowly, his words sharp like a sword, piercing the chest of the young man, whose complexion turned from pale to convulsive as he struggled frantically.
Yet when he struggled to break free, the two men holding him were about to step forward, but Zheng Congyuan stopped them. The Wen Family Army in the arena was already few, and Old Master Wen Kang, Wen Qun, and Wen Sheng, also pale-faced, staggered.
Wen Sheng quickly stepped forward, pulled Zheng Haoyuan back, and quickly returned to Old Master Wen Kang’s side. Old Master Wen Kang was already holding Zheng Haoyuan tightly in his arms, moving indecisively in the eyes of Zheng Congyuan’s men.
"Zheng Congyuan, you promised to let us go," Old Master Wen Kang said hoarsely, although even he did not believe in the promise, knowing full well he would never give Zheng Congyuan the chance to escape.
Once out, as long as the people of the Wen Family were still there, as long as Zheng Haoyuan was still there, they still had tens of thousands of troops on the frontier of the Southeastern Army, the Northern Border Army, and more...
"Crown Prince, letting the Wen Family go is like nurturing a tiger for trouble," Prime Minister Lin disagreed. The Crown Prince had agreed, but they had not. Even if he had to be the villain, what did it matter?
Prime Minister Lin stepped out, determined not to let the people of the Wen Family leave today.
Old Master Wen Kang’s expression darkened; he knew it wouldn’t be that simple.
"Let them go—" Zheng Congyuan said. The military power of the border regions represented by the Wen Family was nothing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen Kang stepped back toward Zheng Congyuan’s direction, and the crowd slowly parted a way.
"Crown Prince, that’s not possible—" Prime Minister Lin shouted in despair.
