Chu Yunfan looked over, and saw that it was a young man who seemed to be around thirty years old. He had a tall and slender stature, and was clad in a bright yellow robe. He had an imposing appearance, and could be considered as a dragon among men.
"Are you Master Chu? I've heard a lot about you. It's an honor to meet you in person! " The shocked expression on the young man's face only lasted for a moment. Then, he immediately restrained himself.
"I'm Chu Yunfan. May I know who Your Excellency is?" Chu Yunfan nodded and said.
"I won't hide anything from you. I'm the Eighteenth Prince of the Great Wei State, Wei Wuya!" the young man slowly opened his mouth.
A sharp look flashed in Chu Yunfan's eyes. He had made many guesses about the identity of this person behind the scenes. However, he hadn't expected that he would be a prince of the Great Wei State.
One must know that the Emperor of the Great Wei State had ordered the execution of the Chu Clan. And, he had gone against his father's wishes to save the Chu Clan.
This was something that had completely exceeded Chu Yunfan's expectations!
However, he carefully thought about it, and couldn't remember having any information about this Eighteenth Prince. There were several dozen princes in the Great Wei State. Moreover, some of them had formidable strength, and they had the ability to compete for the throne.
However, there was no such Eighteenth Prince among them.
He was well aware of this point.
However, nobody had expected that this Eighteenth Prince would save the Chu Clan.
"So, it's the Eighteenth Prince!" Chu Yunfan cupped his hands in obeisance and said, "I've heard that Your Highness has saved my Chu Clan. I, Chu Yunfan, am extremely grateful!"
"Master Chu is too polite. I didn't agree with the conduct of my Imperial Father and Imperial Brother. Marquis Zhongxin was the founding marquis of my Great Wei State. He had made great contributions to the Great Wei State. But, he had been branded with the crime of conspiring against the Chu Clan, and his entire clan had been executed. This is too much!" Wei Wuya slowly said.
Then, Wei Wuya made an inviting gesture, and invited Chu Yunfan to enter the pavilion. Then, he sat opposite to him.
Chu Yunfan glanced at Wei Wuya and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "I'm afraid Your Highness hasn't spoken the entire truth!" "Perhaps that can be considered a reason. However, since the royal court has already confirmed my death, why would you bother saving the people of my Chu clan? If the royal court were to find out about this, you would probably be sentenced to death!"
Wei Wuya looked at Chu Yunfan and paused for a moment before saying, "Since Grandmaster Chu has said so, then I will not beat around the bush. Indeed, according to the Imperial Court, Grandmaster Chu is already dead. This news came from the mouth of the Grand General and the First Consecrator of the Imperial Family, so it has a high degree of credibility. Because of this, many people believe it!"
"To tell the truth, I also feel that Master Chu's chances of survival are very small!" Wei Wuya said.
Chu Yunfan nodded. He believed this. From Wei Wuya's expression, he could tell that this was the truth.
Wei Wuya was also very shocked when he saw Chu Yunfan. He never expected that Chu Yunfan would return alive.
After all, the Imperial Court had made such a big announcement, so it must be accurate. Otherwise, wouldn't they be waiting to be slapped in the face?
Perhaps no one would have thought that Chu Yunfan would actually be able to escape from the Imperial Court's inescapable net.
"If that's the case, then why did you make a move?" Chu Yunfan asked faintly.
"To be honest, I was gambling. I was betting on the possibility of survival!" Wei Wuya slowly said. "Although this matter was confirmed by the Grand General and the First Consecrator, I still feel that with Grandmaster Chu's strength, there is still a chance of survival!"
"Although the chances are very slim, it is my only hope!" Wei Wuya's voice gradually became louder as he said this.
"You want to seize the throne?" Chu Yunfan suddenly reacted and asked.
"Yes, I want to seize the throne. How many people in the Imperial Family don't want to obtain the supreme position?" Wei Wuya said. "However, I'm too weak compared to my Royal Brothers. My mother's clan isn't considered as a powerful clan. I'm also very young. So, I can't compare with my Royal Brothers' accumulation of many years. I'm afraid that no one has ever looked at me for many years. Let alone someone who can compete for the Emperor's throne!"
Wei Wuya had a somewhat self-deprecating expression on his face as he spoke.
For so many years, he had been too inconspicuous. However, there were at least dozens of princes like him in the Wei Kingdom who had no sense of existence at all. Princes like him could not even see their father except during festivals.
However, he wasn't willing. He wasn't willing to be an idle Royal Prince. In fact, he couldn't even be a Royal Prince because the Emperor of the Great Wei State had too many princes. So, it would be a disaster for the Great Wei State's finances if every one of them was given the title of King. Only a few princes could be bestowed the title of King in each generation. He was merely a Duke, or perhaps even a Marquis. His descendants would become commoners after several generations.
So, he wouldn't give up so easily since he had been born in the Huang Family.
"And, I know that Royal Father and Royal Brother will never let this matter go if Grandmaster Chu doesn't die. So, there will be no room for reconciliation with them!" Wei Wuya slowly said. He glanced at Chu Yunfan. He had studied Chu Yunfan's information. So, he knew that Chu Yunfan had a vengeful character.
He wouldn't have aroused the imperial court's fear if he had honestly swallowed such a big loss without retaliating.
So, he wouldn't have even hesitated to cooperate with the Golden Tribe!
He was a prince. So, he didn't have much power. However, he knew much more than an ordinary person. Ordinary people thought that the Great Wei State's imperial court was behind this operation. However, he knew that this wasn't the case. In fact, the Golden Tribe was behind this operation.
"This is also my only opportunity. It's impossible to become the Emperor of the Great Wei State without the support of a powerhouse. But, there is no one else in this world who is willing to support me except for Grandmaster Chu!" Wei Wuya said. "That's why I took the risk to save the Chu Family. This is my only reason!"
Wei Wuya looked at Chu Yunfan. It seemed as if he was waiting for him to express his opinion.
Chu Yunfan nodded slightly. He believed in this reason. However, he hadn't expected that Wei Wuya would be so bold. He had dared to make such a big bet. The Secret Agents Department would find out that Wei Wuya had rescued the Chu Family sooner or later if Chu Yunfan died. Then, Chu Yunfan was afraid that Wei Wuya would die.
However, he was willing to take this gamble!
