"This … Jier, this is a secret weapon. If you see it, then it won't be a secret anymore. Naturally, it won't work. Do you understand?" Chen Jiu felt awkward and could only find an excuse to reject her.
"Oh, I see. Then I won't look at it!" Shen Jie was either too easy to coax or she trusted Chen Jiu too much. Either way, she didn't continue to pursue the matter. This made Chen Jiu less worried.
"Jier, regarding my secret weapon, you have to keep it a secret for me. Do you understand?" Chen Jiu said worriedly.
"Brother, I understand. This is a secret between us!" Shen Jie smiled playfully and agreed.
"Alright, the battle formation has been broken. The soldiers will be here soon. Let's go!" Chen Jiu persuaded. The two of them quickly disappeared from the run-down inn.
After experiencing a life-threatening situation, the two of them were no longer in the mood to play happily. However, they still stuck together and returned to the relatively safe palace.
The Eight Diagrams Military Advisor controlled almost all of the regular army in the capital. The tragic death of his family of eight was a shocking matter. Very soon, it shook the palace.
The Emperor of Entertainment urgently summoned all the officials and generals to the imperial court to discuss national affairs.
"Your Majesty, the only person in the capital who can kill the Military Advisor and the others is Courage God!" A young general pointed his finger at Courage God.
"What a joke. Who doesn't know that my wife has just returned? I haven't had enough time to talk to her at home. Who has the time to care about them?" Courage God sneered.
"General Courage God, you said that you and your wife have talked to each other. Is there a third person who saw it?" The young general questioned.
"No!" Courage God shook his head and replied.
"Then that's it. You must have colluded with your wife to give false testimony. Then, you met with the Military Advisor and took the opportunity to harm them. That's how you can dominate!" The young general said self-righteously.
"Nonsense. This is utter nonsense!" Courage God was so angry that he glared at the general. He couldn't agree with him at all.
"What? Are you angry because of embarrassment? Do you still want to rebel in front of His Majesty? Or are you already planning to rebel and get rid of the Eight Trigrams Military Advisor first? Let me tell you, even if the military advisor is no longer here, the imperial guards will not allow you to do as you please in the capital! "The young general spoke sternly, expressing his iron blood and loyalty.
"Commander Yan Shiba's loyalty is commendable. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince once said that evidence can lie, but benefits will never lie. Now that Eight Trigrams is dead, Courage God is the prime suspect. Even if he isn't the culprit, he definitely has something to do with it!" A bald monk couldn't help but criticize Courage God.
"The Imperial Tutor is right. The Crown Prince's words can't be wrong!" When the officials heard the Crown Prince's name, they immediately chimed in, not caring about anything else.
"Uh, my beloved subjects think too highly of my son!" The Entertainment Emperor smiled and looked at Courage God proudly. "Courage God, I know you're not on good terms with the State Preceptor, but how can you do such a cruel thing? No matter what, Eight Trigrams has contributed greatly. How can you … "
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me. What do I have to do to make you believe me?" Courage God couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Courage God, if you want His Majesty to believe you, you'd better hand over your military power. Only then can you prove your innocence!" The Imperial Tutor suggested.
"Hand over my military power?" Courage God frowned. As a general, he cherished his soldiers the most. Asking him to hand over his military power was like asking him to hand over his brothers. It was extremely uncomfortable.
"Courage God, if you're not willing to hand over your military power, then you're plotting a rebellion. Even if you don't want to, you'll have to admit to it!" Although Yan Shiba was young, he was known as the Living King of Hell in the palace. His methods were extremely ruthless.
"You guys are forcing me to do this …" Courage God was furious.
"Courage God, I'm not forcing you. I'm just trying to make everyone believe you. You have to do this!" The Entertainment Emperor tried to console him.
"Your Majesty, what if I say no?" Courage God's rebuttal immediately caused the atmosphere in the main hall to become tense.
"Courage God, you're really plotting a rebellion. Men, take him down …" The Imperial Tutor screamed and was about to order his men to take action.
"Brother, save Father!" Chen Jiu and Shen Jie were also there to watch the commotion. Seeing that a palace coup was about to erupt, Chen Jiu stepped forward.
"All of you, stop!" Chen Jiu strode in. Although his figure was not large, his aura was enough to subdue everyone.
"Greetings, Little Crown Prince!" All the civil and military officials bowed when they saw Chen Jiu.
"Who was the one who wanted to take General Courage God down?" Chen Jiu asked coldly as he entered the main hall.
"It was the Imperial Tutor of Riches!" The officials immediately explained.
"What a great Imperial Tutor of Riches. How dare you force a loyal subject to rebel? You deserve to be punished. Aren't you going to slap him?" Chen Jiu looked at the Imperial Tutor with a strict gaze.
"Imperial Tutor, His Highness asked you to slap him. Didn't you hear him?" Shen Jie pouted and stood beside Chen Jiu resentfully.
"I … I was wrong, Little Crown Prince!" The Imperial Tutor of Riches was speechless. He stared at Chen Jiu for a while. Then, under the shocked gazes of the officials, he actually started to slap himself.
Slap, slap … This slap was really vicious. The Imperial Tutor of Riches was in tears. He was dying in his heart!
But no matter how bitter it was, what could he do? The Riches State Preceptor knew that Ba Gua and the others had probably gone to murder Chen Jiu. But now that Chen Jiu was fine and Ba Gua was dead, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart. He didn't dare to provoke this little prince who was getting more and more mysterious.
"General Courage God, don't be calculative with these people. You are the most loyal and courageous general of Yu Nation. This is beyond reproach!" Chen Jiu ignored the Imperial Tutor of Riches and comforted Courage God.
"Thank you for your trust, Little Crown Prince!" Courage God immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"But Your Highness, he doesn't have any evidence to prove his innocence!" Yan Shiba was still unconvinced.
"Yan Shiba, you are the commander of the imperial guards. Do you have to find a third party to watch when you are having sex with your wife?" Chen Jiu rolled his eyes and sneered.
"Well …" Yan Shiba was at a loss for words.
