His Majesty was speechless for a moment before he murmured, "This was father's decision all those years ago. If you have any objections, go look for him!"
Marquis Yun was enraged, slamming the table with one hand. "Yu Peize! Don't you feel guilty saying this? That old man has been dead for so many years, where can I find him? If I really went to look for him, would I still be able to come back? "
The brothers glared at each other like fighting cocks.
After a long time, His Majesty burst out laughing and said, "Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore. Only you would dare to argue with me like this. You're also my blood brother; otherwise, your head would have been chopped off a long time ago!"
Marquis Yun said angrily, "Don't f * cking take this as reason and think that I'm happy to argue with you. You won't feel comfortable if you don't let me get angry every once in a while, will you? If you don't get scolded by me, you'll be lacking something in your heart! "
His Majesty sighed. "Let's not talk about this. Help me think about the succession of the crown prince. This is an urgent matter that must be resolved as soon as possible."
"Mm, there's one more thing. It's about Immortal Dahuang today …" His Majesty said, "Regarding the theory of Heaven's Will, I do remember there being records of it … Help me look for it. Then, we can talk, discuss, and research."
Marquis Yun said angrily, "You can just find someone else to do this. Why do you have to drag me into this? You even have to accompany me …"
His Majesty said, "It's better that I discuss this with you. I don't trust anyone else."
He sighed and said, "Brother, we are not young anymore. You should just forget about what father said in the past … Find a woman if you need to. I am the Emperor now, and I can totally dispense with that task for you."
Marquis Yun was stunned. After a moment of silence, he said bitterly, "Forget it … Sigh, there have been many girls who have been kind to me all these years, but I've rejected them all … Now, they're either married, dead, or missing … You've said this ten years too late. You should have said so earlier …" Marquis Yun was stunned.
He lifted his head and looked at the night sky outside the window. There seemed to be countless bitter emotions flashing in his eyes.
Only a faint sigh could be heard.
His Majesty looked at the twinkling stars on Marquis Yun's temples and sighed guiltily.
"All these years … it has been hard on you …" The king sighed softly.
"It's useless to say all this." Marquis Yun smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "My biggest mistake is that I was reincarnated into the wrong body … Stop talking about it, this is fate."
"My life …"
The two of them sighed together.
…
His Majesty and Marquis Yun, who had been tormented for the entire night, were exhausted. Their backs were sore, and they were completely drained.
But even though he felt like his body was being hollowed out, he still didn't ask for help.
After all, what they were doing now was a top secret matter that couldn't be known by ordinary people. If it wasn't for the fact that the two of them were quarreling while tidying up the ancient books to search for clues, this night would probably be even more difficult.
Not only was the target they were searching for important, but the content of their conversation could not be known by a third party as well. This was because the content of their conversation included many trivial matters, the many years of gratitude and resentment, the separation and reunion, as well as many grievances and complaints.
Each of them had their own bitterness, their own grievances, and both of them felt extremely tired.
However, the most amazing and inexplicable thing was that both of them felt that their father was unfair, that his demands on them were too harsh and unreasonable.
At the same time that this topic exploded, it was Marquis Yun who exploded first, throwing a tantrum. Both of them quarreled fiercely. Even when His Majesty was enraged and bellowed, Marquis Yun did not back down, arguing with him without backing down. It was a sight to behold.
After the two of them finished quarreling, they were still panting with anger, but they went back to their own work. Then, at some unknown point, they began to discuss with each other, making sarcastic remarks. They found each other displeasing to the eye, and then they quarreled again.
As they quarreled, His Majesty no longer addressed himself as' emperor ', addressing himself as' I'm 'your father'. His demeanor was completely gone.
Naturally, Marquis Yun was even more unwilling to be bullied. Initially, he was only limited to what he could do, but now that he heard that the Emperor of Yutang had lost his demeanor, he had no qualms and fought back with his' your father '.
How could he have known that he had fallen into His Majesty's trap?
Poor Marquis Yun had been roaming the martial world for years. Although his cultivation base was high and rare in Yutang, cultivation base was not the same as scheming. Martial strength aside, how could he be the opponent of an old fox like the emperor who had spent his entire life in the imperial court when it came to scheming?
Marquis Yun's' your father 'was said to his heart's content, but the emperor's expression suddenly darkened.
"What did you say? Say it again! "His Majesty's gaze was icy.
Marquis Yun retorted angrily, "What did your father say? Who do you think you are!? "
His Majesty stood up and kicked him. "How dare you call yourself 'your father' with me? Whose father are you? "
Marquis Yun was stunned, covering his butt that had been kicked in exasperation. "Didn't you call yourself 'your father' too? Why didn't you say so? I can't call myself 'your father', but you can! "
His Majesty chuckled and said, "You're right. There's nothing wrong with me calling myself 'your father'. Don't you know the saying that an elder brother is like a father? I'm your elder brother, your biological elder brother. What's wrong with me calling myself 'your father'? But you call yourself 'your father' with me? Who are you? Who are you? Are you trying to turn the world upside down? Can't I stop you from doing anything? Try calling yourself 'your father' in front of your father again. Let's see if your father dares to punish you, a lawless bastard who has no respect for his elders! "
Marquis Yun was speechless. He had suffered a great loss this time!
Furthermore, he couldn't say anything wrong, and he didn't dare to retaliate at all.
"Aren't you very capable? Don't you have your own rules? Even in a commoner's home, an elder brother is like a father! Besides, I'm not only your elder brother, I'm also the emperor, I'm also … "His Majesty's face was filled with rage as he charged forward to punch and kick. Every punch landed on flesh, his heart blooming with joy. He had finally found a chance to beat up this bastard who lived a life ten thousand times more leisurely than he did!
He dared not hit him usually, but if he did, he really could not defeat him. Moreover, his cultivation base had grown tremendously and he was even boasting that he could not stop him from doing anything. If he did not seize this opportunity to vent his anger today, there might not be another chance for him to do so …
Marquis Yun felt that the beating he had suffered was extremely unjust, and it seemed like he was being wronged.
"You – you … you set me up on purpose!" Marquis Yun suddenly understood.
After all, he was born in the royal family. He had been exposed to the scheming of the emperor since he was young, and he was an intelligent man. Even if his scheming was not as good as the old statesman like the emperor, he was still quite capable.
The emperor continued to beat him even harder. "You fell into a trap just because I set you up? Are you that stupid? I'm giving you more knowledge, I'm giving you more experience in the martial world! I can't believe you've traveled all over the world. Say it yourself, you don't even have this little bit of scheming. What have you been doing all these years? "
Bang! Bang! Bang! After a round of beating, His Majesty was thoroughly satisfied.
Marquis Yun was grief-stricken, but he had been seized by His Majesty's weakness and ordered around by the emperor for a long time.
"Go and check the pile over there."
"Move those out after you're done. Do I need to tell you that?"
"Hurry up! Didn't you eat? This is such an important matter. How long are you going to take to find it if you're taking your time? You can do anything, you're not just talking, are you? "
During this period of time, Marquis Yun had the tempting thought of killing him with a single punch and usurping the throne for himself. He gritted his teeth, his face turning from white to green, from green to blue, and then completely black. In the end, it was even darker than the bottom of a wok.
His Majesty, on the other hand, sat on the armchair with his legs crossed, sipping his tea as he gave his orders.
It was only after a long while that he began to help again, probably guessing that Marquis Yun's patience had reached its limit. If he continued to press on, Marquis Yun would probably retaliate. Who was the Emperor of Yutang? He was a ruthless character with the most foresight and judgment. Naturally, he knew when to stop and when to stop.
It was unknown when both of them had started talking about the same topic again.
"The Immortal Dahuang who appeared out of nowhere earlier has an unusual background. I'm sure that I've seen the school he came from, especially the purpose of establishing the school. I even have an impression of it … The information was recorded in the royal archives, but I didn't pay much attention to it then. I always felt that the record was too illogical, so I put it aside after reading it." His Majesty frowned. "Now that I think about it, the Immortal Dahuang's sudden appearance at such a delicate time must have an unusual reason."
Marquis Yun said, "Of all the things that have happened recently, none of them are ordinary. The fact that the four countries tore up the letter of credence of peace and attacked at the same time was already very unusual. Do you think it could be …"
Marquis Yun's words were spoken in a tone of doubt and uncertainty.
However, His Majesty froze when he heard it.
The Credence of Peace was not an ordinary contract between two countries. It was an oath witnessed by heaven.
Who dared to tear it up?
Tearing it up would be going against heaven's oath and would be punished by heaven!
This time, however, the four countries had tore up this heaven's contract that no one, no force, and no country had ever dared to go against.
Why?
The only reason was that they were fearless!
Why were they fearless?
Why were they so fearless?!
