Chapter 148 - Someone Became The Scapegoat
A group of blood guards from the House of Ye was shocked too. They ran over immediately.
Song Jue just shouted, âDonât move the young master. His bones are all broken. It will make things worse if we move him improperly. Somebody come quickâŠâ
âFind something tough. The door plank⊠Right⊠QuicklyâŠâ
He kept urging people.
There was a middle-aged man who got over him and sneered, âAll bones are broken? I donât think I can believe that, can I? He looked so well while riding the horse. How come his bones suddenly became broken⊠I donât think that there is such a weird coincidence. You should probably try harder on this thoughâŠâ
Song Jue was furious when he heard that. He stood up and grabbed the manâs collar. He shouted fiercely, âFxck you, you motherfxcker! Are you blind! Can you see what is happening here? Would I joke about such a thing? Open your stupid shitty eyes, will you? Fxck you, you bloody stupid shit⊠What a wanker!â
Song Jue was acting so vigorously.
Although the man acted tough, he was just a steward. Although he was serving the same position as Song Jue, he was just a normal person. He couldnât bear the vigor of Song Jue who had been through thousands of battles.
The man was scared and then passed out immediately.
âPooh! Useless cxnt!â Song Jue spat and kicked the man aside. He shouted, âWhat the hell. What is this prick.â
Thus, the others among the crowd saw how fierce Song Jue was, so they didnât dare to step over in the slightest.
The many blood guards of the House of Ye had come out from the house. They saw the young master lying on the floor, and their chief, Song Jue, was extremely furious. They shouted angrily together and then drew out their longswords at the same time.
The thirty longswords were bright and sharp.
Thirty pair of eyes stared at the crowd like they were pigs to be butchered.
They were waiting for Song Jueâs order, so that they could smash all those people at once.
The head of the blood guards stepped forward and said, âChief, give the order! We will slaughter these men immediately to avenge our beloved young master!â
Song Jue felt embarrassed in his head.
[God damn⊠These guys are even crazier than meâŠ]
If Ye Xiao was truly at deathâs door, Song Jue wouldnât hesitate to give the order to kill all those people.
Yet⊠he knew clearly that Ye Xiao was acting.
So he had to be careful.
âStay calm.â Song Jue spoke seriously, âThe first thing we should do is to save the young master. We can take those menâs lives at anytime.â
Two big guys carried the door plank over. Song Jue waved his hands and a bright blue-colored strange mist appeared. It raised Ye Xiaoâs body slowly from the floor, gently carrying him on top the door plank. During the whole process Ye Xiao wasnât moved a bit. He was staying in the same posture all along.
People in the crowd were getting over to see what exactly was happening.
[You are indeed very powerful. So what? We canât just trust you so easily, can we? We need to checkâŠ]
Song Jueâs face was dark. He didnât stop them and just let them have a glance at Ye Xiao. There were some cultivators among them, so they operated their martial arts to check on Ye Xiao. And then they found out something astonishing that made them look at each other in speechless despair.
[Jing and Mai are broken and bones are smashedâŠ
Oh my bloody god. That is an extremely severe injuryâŠ
It is more than what Song Jue said, âbones are brokenââŠ
The bones are like completely goneâŠ]
Some of them who were well acquainted thought about how Ye Xiao looked well yet he suddenly entered such a sorry state; they immediately came out with a conclusion.
âThe Melting Bone Palmâ.
There was no other martial art that could cause such a vicious injury.
They were all stunned.
They had been planning to come and blame Ye XiaoâŠ
How were they going to do that now?
They were shocked.
Song Jue looked at these people with sharp eyes and spoke coldly, âToday my young master went to see Prince Hua-Yang off. He was well all the way along. After the quarrel with the useless bastards from your houses, he became like thisâŠâ
His eyes were full of fierceness and killing intent. His tone was filled with bitter hatred.
A man among them who looked like another steward smiled embarrassedly, âBrother SongâŠâ
âWhat makes you think you can call me brother? A man like you? Really?â Song Jue shouted angrily, âIf anything vital happens to my young master, none of you will escape from my hands.â
People in the crowd kept moaning in their minds.
[What the hellâŠ]
That steward spoke smilingly, âSteward Song, it truly has nothing to do with us. You have strong cultivation capabilities. You can surely find out the truth⊠Lord Yeâs injury came in a strange way. Has he been hit already before? It looks like the long lost art âMelting Bone PalmââŠâ
He then smiled embarrassedly and said, âNo one in the Right Prime Ministerâs House is capable of doing thatâŠâ
What he said had pissed people from the other houses, [You bastard! It was Li Cheng-Ze, the young lord from the Right Prime Ministerâs House who started all this shit! Now you actually tried to just get yourself out of this mess?
You donât have people who can do this, huh? And do you think we do?
The Melting Bone Palm has been lost for centuries. If we have someone who can operate it, do we still need to stay with you?]
All of a sudden, a voice came out from the crowd.
âNobody in our house can do it too⊠Please be reasonable Steward SongâŠâ
âHow do we possibly have such cultivatorsâŠâ
Song Jue impatiently waved his hand and shouted loudly, âShut the fxck up! Did anyone in your house die or what?â
They stopped and thought, [People in your house died, you prick! People in your house is going to die right now! What a loose tongue.]
Song Jue pointed his finger on the forehead of the steward of the Right Ministerâs House and struck him maliciously, making the steward stagger backwards. He did this again and again while shouting, âGet the fxck out of here you scumbags! Go! If anything bad happens to my young master, I am going to wipe you out. I donât care whether you have anything to do with it or not.â
He turned around, and with a loose mouth, he shouted at the guards, âWhat are you standing here for? Go fly a carrier pigeon and inform the great general. Tell him to come back quickly before he loses the chance to see his son one last time before he dies! Go, go, go!â
And then he turned around and shouted at the crowd, âWhy donât just leave already! What do you want? A drink?!â
They stepped back and left immediately. Some of them were getting angry inside though, [You think you are strong? Who do you think you are? You want to wipe us all out? Stay for a drink? Screw it! We are going to have ceremony because your house is going to hold a funeral!]
They were all heading back home to inform their masters.
There were people who felt scared too, [It might not be true that Steward Song would kill us all, but it must be true that they have sent out the message to the general.
If the great General Ye really returned and discovered that our young lords hurt his son this badâŠ
That is not good.
He is not easy to deal with.]
Although these men kept denying it, they clearly knew that it was most likely their young lords who had done this thing against Ye Xiao togetherâŠ
Because those lads left their words earlier, âI am going to get back on Ye Xiaoâ âŠ
They always did whatever they said they wouldâŠ
And now they had stirred up some big disturbanceâŠ
The news about Ye Xiaoâs injury didnât spread out widely, yet someone who cared had heard of it immediately.
Guan Zheng-Wen walked fast to the Crown Princeâs study room. The Crown Prince was writing with concentration and smiled, âMaster Guan, what brings you here today?â
Guan Zheng-Wen closed the door behind him and spoke in a deep voice, âThe wound of the Melting Bone Palm on Ye Xiao⊠was activated.â
The Crown Prince was shocked. His hand shook and the ink dropped on the paper.
He raised his head immediately, looking at Guan Zheng-Wen, âAre you sure?â
âAbsolutely.â Guan Zheng-Wen nodded.
The Crown Prince thought seriously for a while and said, âSince so, we need to prepare for the next stage⊠If Ye Nan-Tian dares to rebelâŠâ
Guan Zheng-Wen smiled, âThe son of gods is blessed by the gods. Your highness will be supported by the heavens. There is someone who became the scapegoat for us. You can be relaxed.â
The Crown Prince was surprised, âReally? Who is it?â
Then he sat on the chair right away and spoke happily, âWhat happened? Tell me all about it!â
He was extremely happy at the moment. Ye Nan-Tian was a heroic figure in the Kingdom of Chen. If Ye Nan-Tian agreed to join the Crown Princeâs side, the Crown Prince would never want to be against him.
Ye Nan-Tian had always been nonaligned. He didnât join any of the princes. Although the Crown Prince couldnât get Ye Nan-Tianâs support, the other princes couldnât either. The Crown Prince thought that once he became the king, Ye Nan-Tian would naturally support him.
In the world, even the king couldnât change Ye Nan-Tianâs mind. There was one person who could though. It was Ye Xiao, his son.
The main force of the Crown Prince was the Mu Clan. Unluckily, the Mu Clan had messed up with Ye Xiao. The Crown Prince had no choice but to help the Mu Clan kill Ye Xiao, yet he was afraid Ye Nan-Tian would come for revenge. Thatâs why he decided to get Ye Xiao killed by the Melting Bone Palm. He thought that maybe he could be lucky not to be found out.
