"You …"
As soon as Shen Feng opened his mouth, a golden radiance descended from the sky and turned into a golden divine decree, merging into Shen Feng's sea of consciousness.
Everyone gasped when they saw this.
The Divine Emperor moved!
Duanmu Qiu's body trembled violently, and he couldn't help but lower his head. He was terrified, but he didn't want anyone to see the fear in his eyes.
After receiving the divine decree, Shen Feng's pupils shrank. Suppressing his fear, he looked at Xie Tian and said calmly, "Are you willing to be one of the thirty-three and enter the military's death prison?"
Xie Tian narrowed his eyes and lowered his head. "Yes."
Shen Feng nodded and glanced at everyone. Silence, he said, "The death camp's mission is completed. Return immediately. Capture Wu Zhen and send him to the military's death prison. The Autumn Hunting Competition is over. Return."
"Big Brother, you …" Shen Wei was anxious. He cared about Xie Tian the most. Seeing that Xie Tian couldn't escape this disaster, how could he hold back?
He couldn't hold back, and Gao Le and the other thirty-three couldn't hold back either. Thirty-three pairs of red eyes looked at Shen Feng and shouted, "Your Highness, we are not afraid of death. We just don't want to commit suicide!"
"Your Highness, please spare Wu Zhen!"
"We are willing to go to the thirty-six cities and fight to the death without rest!"
The Golden Carriage left mercilessly amidst the mournful cries of the thirty-three. Not only did Duanmu Qiu lose the right to sit with his big brother, Shen Feng, but he could only watch the death camp leave unscathed.
But he was happier than before.
Because Xie Tian, who he said was a pity, was going to die.
In his opinion, this one person was more important than a hundred death camp soldiers.
But that was exactly why he was confused.
"The Divine Emperor just issued a decree to exchange one person for the thirty-three. If it's not important, why did the Divine Emperor do this?"
"Bah!"
Shen Wei spat at Duanmu Qiu's feet and said coldly, "Duanmu Qiu, you better get out of here. Otherwise, I will make your days in Tianqi feel like years!"
"You are despicable." His gaze was as sharp as a knife, and he left after leaving those words behind.
The people of the Jin dynasty glared at Duanmu Qiu, but Duanmu Qiu smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with me. It's my big brother's idea. If you have any grievances, I can help you convey them. Big brother, wait for me, I admire you so much."
The speed of the Autumn Hunt was very fast. In just half a day, they arrived at Tianqi City. Crown Prince Shen Feng had already arrived at the Imperial Study.
"Greetings, Imperial Father." Shen Feng bowed with a calm expression.
Shenshao nodded slightly but did not say anything.
Shen Feng did not care about his Imperial Father's completely different reaction. Instead, he asked in Silence, "Why did Imperial Father interfere with your son's actions?"
Shenshao walked to the window and spoke softly.
"Your heart is too big, but also too small."
Shen Feng pondered for a moment and understood.
He was too ambitious, thinking about unifying the Nine States.
He was too narrow-minded, thinking about unifying the Nine States.
After understanding this, he was even more confused. But before he could speak, Shenshao spoke again.
"You really don't know about the brilliant plan that Duanmu Qiu spoke of?"
Shen Feng paused, then replied, "I have roughly guessed it."
Shenshao smiled, but there was not much of a smile in his eyes. "Imperial Father knows that because you could guess it, you knew that this plan could not come from your mouth. It could only come from someone outside of Zhongzhou."
Shen Feng tacitly agreed.
"So you beat him at his own game, borrowing Duanmu Qiu's mouth to speak of this plan." Shenshao paused and looked at Shen Feng. "Up to this point, you did not do badly. But afterwards, you made a complete mess!"
Shen Feng was a little panicked, but more than that, he was confused.
"Even if you beat him at his own game, why do you care about Duanmu Qiu? Duanmu Xiao 'er is not worth your attention."
Shen Feng understood that even if he won all three battles, Duanmu Qiu would not dare to do anything, and it would not affect the overall situation. But he knew that was not the main reason why he admitted defeat.
But since Shenshao did not say it, he did not intend to take the initiative to say it.
"You are very clear about this." Seeing that Shen Feng was calm, Shen Shao sighed in his heart. He had to be more direct.
"That's why you admitted defeat. Because you don't care about Duanmu Qiu at all. Even if you admit defeat to him, you will not feel bad. It's just like how there is no mortal in the eyes of immortals. It's the same principle."
Shen Feng's heart trembled. Even though it was his imperial father who exposed his thoughts, he still felt guilty.
"I understand." Shen Feng bowed and calmed down. He asked again, "Imperial Father, the death camp?"
Shenshao smiled. "It's not your fault. You will understand the importance of the death camp after you take over the throne."
Shen Feng frowned. Thinking of the people's advice, he felt that he was not even as good as the outsiders.
"The death camp in the eyes of outsiders has long become a myth." Shenshao smiled. "The onlooker sees more clearly than the onlooker. Because you want to see it clearly, you can't see it clearly."
Shen Feng suddenly understood. In the eyes of outsiders, the death camp was already covered with a veil of invincibility. This was his intuition. Sooner or later, he would control the death camp, so he would not act based on his intuition. The onlooker sees more clearly.
"I understand. The death camp is the most important thing." Shen Feng understood and kept it in mind.
"There are still seven more years until the end of the 3,000 years of the Divine Dynasty's calendar. Every Divine Emperor will die after 200 years on the throne." Shen Shao sighed. "In another seven years, it will be the day you ascend the throne!"
The Jin Dynasty was special. For example, the Tian Lan Dynasty had an emperor who reigned for thousands of years.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Divine Emperor would only abdicate after two hundred years and live in seclusion. They did not know that after two hundred years, the Divine Emperor would die.
Shen Feng listened quietly. Seeing that Shenshao suddenly became silent, he asked, "Imperial Father, what advice do you have?"
Shenshao was lost in thought because he suddenly thought of his daughter, Shen Ji.
"If I said this to Shen Ji, she would definitely cry and beg for you not to die."
Shenshao smiled. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of Xie Tian who gave the Resurrection Elixir to Wu Shang without hesitation.
"If Xie Tian knew that I still have seven years to live, what would he do?"
"Imperial Father, Imperial Father."
The absent-minded Shenshao was woken up by Shen Feng, but he was not in the mood to talk.
"Go and deal with this matter."
With that, Shenshao disappeared.
Shen Feng was stunned.
He had not asked the biggest question in his heart.
"Imperial Father, why would you rather protect a captain of the death camp than protect the face of the Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty?"
Just as this question lingered in Shen Feng's mind, a eunuch came to report.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, Lord Wu Shang requests."
Shen Feng was stunned. Because before the eunuch finished, a man in black armor strode into the imperial study.
"Your Highness, Wu Shang is dead."
At the same time, outside the Tianqi Military Department, ninety-nine people knelt on the ground in silence.
The golden armored guards had already run into the military department and were trembling as they looked at the ninety-nine people in fear.
These ninety-nine people were soldiers from the seven death camps.
In the military headquarters, Xing Yan frowned deeply when he saw this.
"Death Reporting Camp soldier Wu Zhen has been sent to the Death Prison!"
"Mm," Xing Yan answered absent-mindedly.
"Death Reporting Camp soldier kneeling outside the door is seriously affecting the military's work. The various departments are requesting for Your Excellency's help!"
"Mm." Xing Yan sighed inwardly.
"Report to the Death Prison Commander, requesting for execution!"
Xing Yan smiled wryly. After some thought, he picked up an execution order from the desk and walked toward the Death Prison.
"I will personally execute this criminal."
The three subordinates in the office looked at each other. They had been in the military department for more than a decade, but they had never seen such a scene.
"What kind of background does that Wu Zhen have for the Minister to personally execute him?"
"I'm afraid it's because of the Crown Prince!"
"That's true. The Crown Prince gave the order himself. Minister Xing must be protecting the Crown Prince's face!"
They were all wrong. Only Xing Yan, who was slowly walking toward the Death Prison, knew the reason.
The reason was that Xie Tian might not be the only one in the Death Prison.
There was also Shen Shao.
"Xie Tian greets Your Majesty!"
