In the Chu Mansion.
Chu Mo sat there quietly reading a book. Suddenly, an arrow flew in through the window and hit a pillar next to him. The arrow's power was so great that it penetrated a third of the way into the pillar!
If the arrow had hit him between the eyebrows, he would probably be dead! Therefore, Chu Mo was startled and took a deep breath. At this moment, there was a shout and the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind coming from the courtyard outside.
Then, some experts in the Chu Mansion went out to chase after them. At the same time, a butler asked anxiously, "Young Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Chu Mo was still in shock, but he still looked calm. Although his physique was weak, he was still the son of a great general!
He could still be calm when faced with such a situation.
Then, Chu Mo turned to look at the arrow. There was a letter tied to the shaft of the arrow.
Chu Mo took the letter and opened it. Then, he frowned slightly. There was a hint of anger in his pure eyes.
Then, he set the letter on fire and threw it into the flower pot.
Then, he sat there as if nothing had happened.
Three days later, he went on the streets alone. It was as if he was shopping, but he walked to a remote place. When he walked into a deserted alley, there were suddenly two people in front and behind him.
These two people were dressed in black and had their faces covered. Their eyes were fierce. Without saying a word, they attacked Chu Mo. Two cold lights were aimed at Chu Mo's head!
Chu Mo stood there as if he did not feel anything. In the eyes of these two people, he was actually stunned!
It was already very impressive for a little kid in his teens to not yell and scream when encountering such a situation.
Poof!
Poof!
With two muffled sounds, the two people fell to the ground in front of Chu Mo. They were dead in an instant!
Then, a few figures walked out from the shadows. In an instant, they surrounded Chu Mo and protected him. Then, they looked around vigilantly and asked Chu Mo, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Chu Mo shook his head and walked up to one of the corpses. Enduring the pungent smell of blood, he took off the person's mask.
Behind the veil was a very young and very ordinary face. It looked very ordinary. If you walked on the street, you would not be able to find that kind.
"Killer." One person said in a deep voice, "There's no need to look. This kind of person wouldn't have anything on him that could prove his identity."
Chu Mo nodded and said, "Let's go back."
The group headed straight for the Chu Manor.
This matter directly caused an uproar in the entire Imperial Capital.
Someone actually dared to assassinate the Great General's son in broad daylight. Who did it?
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion.
Soon, a rumor spread. It was said that the neighboring Crown Prince was jealous of the Ninth Princess. He heard that the Ninth Princess had been visiting the Chu Manor recently, so he had hired an assassin to kill Chu Mo!
This news quickly spread like wildfire. Everyone was cursing the neighboring Crown Prince. Although the citizens of Da Xia did not want the beautiful Ninth Princess to fall in love with Chu Mo, they were even more unwilling to see the Ninth Princess marry the neighboring Crown Prince.
All of this seemed to have nothing to do with Liu He. As for the other Four Young Masters of the Imperial Capital, they all behaved themselves and did not even go out for a period of time.
Then, the Emperor of Da Xia was furious. Through diplomatic officials, he directly sent a letter to neighboring Da Qi, asking them to explain the matter clearly.
Of course, Da Qi would not admit to it. Not to mention that they did not do it, even if they did, they would not admit to it.
The Crown Prince of Da Qi stood out in anger and roared, "What does this have to do with me? Chu Mo? I have never even heard of this person! "
Then, there was some news that General Chu Tianji was furious because of this matter and wanted to apply to the Emperor to send troops to Da Qi!
However, the Imperial Palace did not agree to this matter.
As a result, Chu Tianji had a disagreement with the Emperor because of this matter …
In any case, recently, all kinds of news came in one after another. It was too much for the eyes to take in.
In the Imperial Palace.
The Emperor's face was gloomy. He asked in a low voice, "We haven't found out who did this."
An old eunuch said softly, "There is no evidence. The other party's hands are too clean. However, regarding this matter, this old servant has a suspect. "
"You mean Liu He?" The Emperor was not stupid. He already had a suspect in his heart.
The old eunuch sighed softly, "All these years, the Liu Clan has been raising private soldiers and accumulating money …"
"What are they trying to do?" The Emperor could not help but roar, "Are they trying to rebel?"
At this moment, the old eunuch suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, who doesn't want to own this world? Tell me, who wouldn't want to sit on this dragon throne? "
As the old eunuch spoke, he stabbed a knife towards the Emperor's heart!
The Emperor wanted to resist, but at this moment, he found that he could no longer move his body!
This made the Emperor turn pale with fright. He said in horror, "What are you trying to do?"
Pfft!
The old eunuch's knife stabbed the Emperor's heart. Then, he said lightly, "Of course, I want to kill you."
The Emperor's eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
This old eunuch had been in the Imperial Palace since his grandfather's time. He had always been his grandfather's bodyguard in the Imperial Palace. Later, he had protected his father for decades. Now, he had been by his father's side for more than 20 years.
This was a true top-notch expert. Moreover, the Emperor had always trusted this old eunuch the most!
In this world, anyone could harm him, but this old eunuch would not. Therefore, even in his dreams, the Emperor did not expect this to happen.
The sharp knife stabbed into his heart. The knife seemed to be dipped in poison. Therefore, the Emperor soon lost his senses and fell to the ground with a thud.
At this moment, the old eunuch chuckled. His voice had become very young!
Then, the old eunuch stretched his neck and twisted it a few times, as if his neck was very uncomfortable. Then, he calmly took out a small bottle of medicine and sprinkled it directly on the Emperor's body.
In an instant, the Emperor's body turned into a puddle of water. Moreover, it was colorless and tasteless, like a cup of water sprinkled on the ground.
Then, the old eunuch took off his clothes, grabbed his face, and directly tore off a human skin mask. It revealed the dignified face of a middle-aged man.
If anyone else was here, they would definitely recognize this man at a glance. This man … was actually the current first-rank official of the Imperial Court, Liu Dakai!
And he was Liu He's biological father!
This was simply too shocking!
Because Liu Dakai went to and from the court every day. He also often participated in various activities. No one would have thought that he could actually appear in the depths of the Imperial Palace without anyone knowing. Moreover, he had replaced the unfathomable old eunuch!
In fact, Liu Dakai had a twin brother!
However, this was a shocking secret of the entire Liu family. Other than the twin brothers themselves, even Liu He only knew a little about it. They did not know the whole story at all!
The two brothers only had one name!
Perhaps only the two brothers could understand what kind of life this was.
In any case, all their efforts today had paid off.
Liu Dakai calmly took off all his clothes, then took out the casual clothes that the Emperor usually wore. After that, he took out a human skin mask from somewhere and put it on his face. Then, he began to fiddle with his hair in front of the mirror.
Soon, a man who looked exactly the same as the emperor appeared!
Then, he tried to say a few words. Even his voice was exactly the same as the Emperor's. There was not the slightest difference.
Liu Dakai's face … No, it should be said that a strange smile appeared on the Emperor's face. He said in a low voice, "I have prepared for this day for too many years!"
Then, he threw the eunuch's clothes on the ground directly into the garbage heap.
Over the years, he would almost always throw clothes in that place. The people in the Imperial Palace had long known this eccentric habit of the "old eunuch". Even the Emperor knew about it, so he had long been used to it. However, the Emperor probably would not have thought that all of this … was prepared for him … a trap!
The Emperor would also not have thought that over the years, Liu Dakai had actually taken his place … to favor countless women in the harem!
Many of the new generation of princesses and princes were actually Liu Dakai's descendants.
Therefore, at the royal banquet previously, when the Emperor wanted to appoint a princess to Chu Mo, the one who was the most angry was not those little princesses, but Liu Dakai!
Because those little princesses were almost … all of them … his flesh and blood!
It was also from then on that Liu Dakai also hated Chu Mo, the innocent young man. In any case, he was going to get rid of his father as well. Now, it was just getting rid of one more little bastard.
"Come, pass on my decree, summon General Chu Tian Ji back to the Imperial Capital, and then enter the Imperial Palace to see me!"
"As you wish!" Very soon, a eunuch went to pass on the decree.
Liu Dakai strolled around the Imperial Palace as if he was taking a stroll. No one could imagine his current mood.
Excitement, hatred, grievance, sadness, sadness … it could be said that he had mixed feelings!
However, all the sacrifices were worth it!
He was finally standing in that position, finally sitting on that chair!
Da Xia Empire, year 3,673, autumn.
General Chu Tian Ji was charged with leaking important national secrets, colluding with the Empire, forming a clique for personal gain, raising a private army, attempting to rebel, showing no respect for his superiors, and more than 30 other crimes. Then, he did not go through any trial. He was directly sentenced to death.
Before Chu Tian Ji died, he faced the sky and roared, "You are not him!"
But that was all he left behind.
