Chapter 40
Chen Yan wiped the blade of the Purgatory Knife, "But I don't believe you. Tell me, how should I trust you?"

Seeing the Purgatory Knife mentioned by Chen Yan, Xue Beng suddenly panicked. His whole body trembled and he said tremblingly: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me. I am the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire. I am the prince." !”

"I can...I can give you money, lots and lots of money...I can also ask my father to make you a duke and let you forget the past!"

Chen Yan gently patted Xue Beng's face with the side of the Purgatory Knife, making a snapping sound.

"Do you think it is money and power that is more important to me, or you that are more important to me?"

Xue Beng replied in horror: "Is it me?"

After all, by controlling Xue Beng, Shen Yan could ask the Tiandou royal family to do more things or get more things.

"Think again." Under Xue Beng's expectant gaze, Shen Yan shook his head.

"Is that money and power?"

It's normal. How many people in this world would not give up for money and power?

Xue Beng believes that if Shen Yan is really like this, he has no reason to kill him!By keeping it to himself, Shen Yan can gain countless wealth and power over tens of thousands of people.

"Think again." Shen Yan still shook his head.

Xue Beng became more and more panicked. He was not important, and money and power were not important, so what was important?
Feeling the sharpness of the blade on his face, Xue Beng trembled and said, "Am I still important?"

Shen Yan patted Xue Beng's face with the side of the blade, "Neither you nor Qian Quan are important to me."

"Then... what's important? You said, as long as you say it, I can give it to you. As long as you want it, I can give it to you. You don't want money or power. Whatever you want, I can go to my father. beg."

The avalanche's voice was filled with fear, and its timbre was trembling and deformed due to fear.

"Do you want beautiful women? Land? Cities? I can even ask my father to give you a province. As long as you say so, everything can be yours."

Cao Dazhuang and the middle-aged uncle watched with cold eyes as Xue Beng performed poorly in order to survive. They suddenly discovered that the so-called princes and nobles were nothing more than that, and even inferior to them in the face of threats to life and death.

When Xue Beng's mind was highly tense, and when he held his head high and prayed for life, Shen Yan approached the only remaining ear on Xue Beng's right side and said softly: "It's very important to me without you."

Snapped--

The tight string broke with a snap.

"No...I don't want to die...Father, save me...Uncle, come and save me."

A smell came from under Xue Beng. When Xue Beng was finally sure that he was going to die, he could no longer control his body and tears were streaming down his face.

"Please, don't kill me. I can make cows and horses for you, but please don't let him kill me."

Xue Beng ignored his own condition and kowtowed to the middle-aged uncle and Cao Dazhuang, even until his head was bleeding.

At this moment, he no longer dared to think about anything else, he just wanted to live.

……

Outside the alley, two carriages and guards wearing different armors were rushing towards them.

The strange thing is that the two carriages came from different directions, but they both stopped here.

The carriage stopped, and both parties got off the carriage at the same time.

One of them is dressed in gorgeous clothes, has a bright head and a pale face, and his facial features are fairly regular, but he has a pair of small eyes, which affects the overall feeling.

This person is none other than Prince Snow Star.

The other person was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He was dressed simply, but he had a distinguished temperament and a sense of elegance.

The guards beside him showed his identity.

This person is Xue Qinghe, who has just been promoted to the crown prince. The guards around him are all the most elite royal guards and have the status of soul masters.

"Oh? The emperor's uncle is not drinking and playing music in his own prince's palace, nor is he going to the Royal Academy to inspect, so how come he has the leisure to come here?" Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and asked Prince Xuexing.

Prince Xue Xing's face darkened slightly. He did not expect to encounter Xue Qinghe today.

Having just been promoted to the crown prince, Xue Qinghe should have been very busy today. How could he have time to come here? Didn't he always ignore Xue Beng?
"Hehehe..." Prince Xuexing smiled, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recently been promoted to the throne. He should be very busy today, right? Why is there so much free time? Could it be that he cannot handle government affairs and wants to find a place to listen to music and rest? Then the Crown Prince Your Highness is looking in the wrong place."

"Uncle Huang was joking. I just heard that there were screams here, and it was suspected that there were murderers, so I specially mobilized the guards to investigate. After all, Tiandou City is where the imperial city is, so such a shocking thing could happen. This shows how courageous the murderer is."

Stepping on the Xueqing River, I felt like I was not angry and confident.

"Uncle Emperor, is it possible that this group of murderers is related to you? Then I will ask my father to make a ruling."

"you……"

Prince Xue Xing had an angry look on his face, and faced Xue Qinghe's pressing steps, he had no good solution.

Xue Qinghe is still known as a country without supervision, but it is actually a country with supervision, which is the acquiescence of Emperor Xue Ye.

Although Xue Qinghe could not fully exercise his ability to supervise the country, he only helped Emperor Xue Ye handle some less important government affairs.

But if Xue Qinghe made a big fuss, he, Xue Xing, would not be able to please him even if he was the prince.

This avalanche is really hurting me!Prince Snow Star felt extremely depressed.

At this moment, they heard a faint sound.

Xue Qinghe frowned and quickly asked the guards to follow him into the alley.

Prince Xue Xing looked at Xue Qinghe's swift movements and followed him without thinking too much.

No matter what, Xue Qinghe must be stabilized first. Neither Xue Beng nor he can be influenced by Xue Qinghe.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The sounds of collisions came one after another, and both Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing were shocked by the sight in front of them.

Xue Beng was kowtowing to a middle-aged man and a young man again and again, begging them to forgive him and spare his life.

And Xue Beng's missing left ear, amputated fingers, and the wet and dirty area under his body all impacted their senses.

"Bold!"

Prince Xuexing reacted first and said directly: "Who is it? How dare... how dare you harm my royal family's face?!"

Seeing that Prince Xuexing spoke first, Xue Qinghe did not speak, but watched quietly.

Seeing Prince Xue Xing and Xue Qinghe coming here, Xue Beng, who should have cried bitterly and begged them for help, ignored them and continued to kowtow.

Cao Dazhuang and the middle-aged man stood there blankly, not knowing how to face such an avalanche.

They always feel that the avalanche seems to be tragic enough.

……

 Regarding whether it is reasonable for Xue Qinghe to call himself "this palace".

  This palace: The self-proclaimed name of the lord of a palace in ancient times.There are three situations where one can call this palace.

  1.The title of the queen and the concubines who have independent palaces (not all concubines in ancient palaces had their own palaces).

  2.The crown prince (the crown prince lives in the East Palace and can call himself his own palace) and the adult princess (when the princess becomes an adult, she will have her own palace and can call herself this palace)
  3.A certain palace often appears in martial arts novels, and the owner of that palace can call himself this palace (regardless of gender).

  This palace is not just a term reserved for women, men can also call themselves this palace.
