Chapter 382: Brother Zheng: This jade pendant came from a... (Begging for monthly tickets and rewards at the beginning of the month!)

Bang!

From a distance, Tianxuan could see clearly what the men in black were carrying. It was a corpse dressed in black armor. When they got closer, the mask on the face fell off when the corpse fell to the ground, revealing its true appearance.

This is a face that gives people a sense of uprightness at first glance. Even though he is dead, his facial features are still quite regular, and there is even more majesty lingering between his brows, proving that the owner of this face has held a high position for a long time.

"Tian Meng, the head of Lieshan Hall?"

After looking at the face for a moment, Tianxuan dug out the man's identity from his memory and said with some surprise.

"Zhao Gao told me," Zheng Ge revealed the reason why Tian Meng's body appeared here, "Tian Meng was recruited by Luowang several years ago and became the new Yanri of Luowang. In the past few years, Tian Meng has made many contributions to Luowang as Yanri. Unexpectedly, he never forgot his identity from beginning to end."

"So, he was regarded as a traitor and executed by Luowang!"

"Your Majesty, Tian Meng is just a discarded pawn thrown out by Luowang." After hearing this, Tian Xuan said with certainty, "Although I don't know whether Tian Meng is a member of Luowang, I can be sure that he is definitely not Yanri!"

"I don't believe it either." Facing Tianxuan's somewhat rude words, Zheng Ge was not annoyed at all, "But Luowang still has value to the empire. As long as you can give an explanation for some things, I don't mind turning a blind eye!"

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that raising a tiger may cause trouble?"

In public, Tianxuan was included in the camp of Prince Fusu, and was at odds with Luowang, who supported the Eighteenth Prince Huhai; in private, Luowang repeatedly troubled Tianxuan, and the grudges between them could not be resolved. Hearing that Zhengge was going to let him go, Tianxuan was unwilling to accept it, and he bravely made suggestions.

"Of course I am afraid, so I have already made preparations to turn Luowang, this deadly weapon of the empire, into a sharp weapon of the empire!"

What is a murder weapon and what is a sharp weapon!
A weapon is one that can hurt both the enemy and the owner, and if one is not careful, it will backfire on the owner; a sharp weapon is sharp, but as long as the owner is careful, there is no need to worry about cutting his fingers.

Tonight, Zheng Ge was in an exceptionally good mood. Even though Tian Xuan's words were offensive, Zheng Ge was not angry at all, and even told Tian Xuan some top secret information.

"Alright, Tianxuanzi, you, Yanfei and Yueshen should stand together!"

Tianxuan had said what he should and shouldn't say, and he had nothing more to say to Zhengge. Seeing that Zhengge had no intention of killing him, Tianxuan decided to leave and waited for Zhengge's instructions. After a moment of silence, Zhengge suddenly said this, asking Tianxuan, Yanfei, and Yueshen to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although I don't know how much time has passed in the outside world, it must have been quite a while. Tianxuan's legs were aching from kneeling for so long. Following Zheng Ge's words, Tianxuan, Yan Fei, and Yue Shen stood up one after another.

"Bring the stuff over here!"

After instructing Tianxuan and his wife to stand up, Zheng Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, and a complex look fell on Tianxuan, with curiosity, love, doubt and other emotions. After staring at Tianxuan for a while, Zheng Ge took this complex look back into his eyes and gave the order calmly. Following Zheng Ge's order, a red-clothed eunuch appeared like a ghost, with his head lowered, holding a tray with various jade pendants and ornaments of different materials and shapes on it, and walked towards Tianxuan. Tianxuan glanced at it boredly, and saw that the things on the tray were exactly what he ordered Mo Ya to search for!
The necklace was made of pearls strung together, and in the center hung a circular black jade pendant with a dragon-like pattern, which looked like a dragon but was not a dragon. It was mixed in with the others and was inconspicuous.

Snapped!
When the eunuch came closer, Tianxuan stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed the black jade pendant. An excitement appeared on his handsome face. His left hand carefully stroked the jade pendant that belonged to him, but he had never truly owned it for a single day since he could remember.

"Brother Tianxuan, it seems that this jade pendant is what you are really looking for?" Prince Fusu saw Tianxuan among a pile of ornaments. Without hesitation, he directly snatched the jade pendant made of black jade. His eyes suddenly changed and he said solemnly.

Tianxuan nodded, "Yes, it is indeed what I am looking for!"

"I have received information that this jade pendant once belonged to a farmer from the State of Zhao named Li Er."

The previous owner of this jade pendant was Fusu. On that day, Mo Ya came to ask for this item on behalf of Tian Xuan, and Fusu wanted to do a favor. Unexpectedly, he was taken into the palace with Mo Ya. Zheng Ge personally intervened and took away the ornaments collected by Mo Ya and the drawings drawn by Tian Xuan. He found all these ornaments and found out the stories behind each ornament.

Seeing Tianxuan taking this thing away, Zhengge opened his mouth and revealed the key.

"Li Er pawned this jade pendant to prepare for his son's wedding, and it has been wandering around since then. As for Li Er's family? The intelligence I have gathered shows that the mountain village where they live suffered a fire on the day of Li Er's son Li Bao's wedding. All the guests who came to the wedding, including the people in the village, did not escape!"

Chi!
Zheng Ge casually revealed the secret that Tian Xuan had kept in his heart for many years. As he spoke, a sharp sword-like gaze shot out from his eye sockets, shooting straight at Tian Xuan, as if he wanted to pierce Tian Xuan's skin with the sword of his gaze and reach his heart.

More than a decade had passed, and Tianxuan had almost forgotten all of this. However, Zhengge's words, and the return of this key ornament to him, made Tianxuan's mind blurry, as if he was no longer in the magnificent and majestic Sihai Guiyi Palace, but back in that simple and remote mountain village, with the screams, wails, and curses of those people as they died echoing in his ears!
The long-lost memories were revived, Tianxuan's expression changed drastically, and a trace of deathly aura emanated from his body.

"Husband!"

Yan Fei and Yue Shen, although they have known Tian Xuan for many years. In a sense, Tian Xuan can be regarded as a child husband who grew up under their watch. However, the two sisters have never seen Tian Xuan show this kind of expression, with three parts of pain in the recollection, and several parts of sadness in the pain, and the sadness is divided by half of the joy.

Reason told the two girls that what Zheng Ge said must be related to Tianxuan's life experience. The sisters' expressions changed drastically and they shouted in unison.

"I'm fine!"

When Tianxuan came to his senses, he saw two worried faces close to him. He waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, but the complicated expression on his face did not disappear.

"Your Majesty, I believe you have guessed it."

The past that should have been known only to him was revealed, and Tianxuan himself was confused about his own feelings. He slowly raised his head and spoke word by word towards Brother Zheng who was sitting on the throne.

"I was the one who set the fire! On that day more than ten years ago, I took advantage of the fact that all the adults in the village were attending a wedding, poisoned their food, and then set the village on fire, killing all the living things in the village at that time!"
