545 Ten days will decide my future

Lóng Wei told them they should begin the work. Feng Lao and Huang Xi threw the spy on the floor. Straws were scattered all over the floor.

Lóng Wei rested his back against the pillar and asked them to tie the spy tightly. “His hands are very rough. He must be training from a young age. We cannot give him a single opportunity to escape from here,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“He needs strict surveillance, Your Highness,” Huang Xi stated, putting the shackles on the spy’s wrist.

“Why did His Highness not kill this spy? He is indeed stronger than us. We would have taken care of the body then,” Feng Lao said.

“You do not need to use the brain, Feng Lao,” Lóng Wei said and Chang Shi walked in. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

“Your Highness, General Hei is here,” Chang Shi informed the prince, who walked out of the room. Chang Shi followed the Sixth Prince and entered the room where Hei Chengxi was present.

“Why is the Prince taking such a big risk? Why did he ask the King that he would bring Qizhen in front of him in ten days?” Hei Chengxi was a little angry at Lóng Wei’s decision. According to him, Lóng Wei had put his life at risk.

“I do not want to be used,” Lóng Wei replied.

“If His Highness has brought his father here, then that would have been simpler,” Huang Xi said while knitting his brows.

“Qiu Zedong will kill me and my wife,” Lóng Wei loudly said, “if I bring Qizhen here without securing ourselves.”

“That will not happen, Prince Lóng Wei,” Huang Xi said.

Lóng Wei snickered. “I know Qiu Zedong better than anyone. He knows for a long time that I am not his son. I am alive because I did what Qiu Zedong wanted. He is the one who killed everyone in Li Hua’s family. Do you even have any idea what I am going through? I am living in a pang of guilt because Qizhen did not end his fight with his brother,” he stated. Chang Shi asked Lóng Wei to calm down.

“Hei Chengxi, you should not have brought my mother to the palace. Instead, you should have made sure that we stay away from the palace. If you were loyal to Qizhen, you should have used the brain that day. These ten days will decide my future. So, do what I say. If you are scared to lose your life, then leave right now with your son,” Lóng Wei sternly said and walked out of the room.

Chang Shi apologized to Hei Chengxi on Lóng Wei’s behalf. “General Hei, trust Prince Lóng Wei. He will turn everything right,” Chang Shi said.

“I do not want Prince Lóng Wei to lose his life in all this. The sacrifices of his mother, the sacrifice that Monk Yuze gave, and the sacrifice that many other families had to give for him, would go to waste,” Hei Chengxi asserted.

Chang Shi understood that Hei Chengxi was worried about Lóng Wei. “General Hei, Prince Lóng Wei is the dragon’s son. Even if he will go through danger, he will come out unharmed,” he said.

“I understand,” Hei Chengxi said and sat on the chair.

Feng Lao ended up hearing the conversation between Lóng Wei with Hei Chengxi and he came in shock. Such a big truth about Lóng Wei made him numb for a while. He watched Lóng Wei walking to the backyard.

Feng Lao decided to go after him and followed Lóng Wei. As he reached the backyard of the house, he found Lóng Wei had sat under a tree. He had his eyes closed as if he was thinking deeply.

Feng Lao recalled the last single word that his father had uttered before dying. “K,” he murmured and looked in Lóng Wei’s direction.

After hearing all those things from Lóng Wei, Feng Lao wondered if he should go to Lóng Wei or not. He hid behind the pillar as he didn’t want Lóng Wei to notice him.

“Why don’t you show yourself?” Lóng Wei’s voice fell into his ears.

Feng Lao sighed and stepped forward. He met Lóng Wei’s gaze and said, “We put the shackles on the spy. He will not be able to leave.”

“What did you hear?” Lóng Wei asked.

Feng Lao was hesitant to speak at first, but then he spoke, “I didn’t mean to hear it. Your Highness, was it the King? Why didn’t you share with me? I am as desperate as Prince Lóng Wei to—” he couldn’t finish his words entirely as Lóng Wei didn’t let him speak.

“It’s not your fight, Feng Lao. Your family and you became the victim because of me. Many lives were lost because of me. Just listen to me and trust me till the end,” Lóng Wei proclaimed.

“Don’t tell Xu Zifan about all this. He may tell Jingfei and I cannot take the risk,” Lóng Wei requested. It was the first time Lóng Wei made a request to someone. He never did. His vulnerability was visible today.

“I will not tell anyone, Your Highness,” Feng Lao said. “Can I ask Prince Lóng Wei something?” He first asked for permission.

“Ask,” Lóng Wei said.

“How did Prince Lóng Wei survive all these years? I do not want to offend him with my question. I have heard from Huang Xi how Prince Lóng Wei had no one to rely on. That’s why I want to know,” Feng Lao stated.

“That’s a difficult question to answer,” Lóng Wei said with a chuckle.

“Prince Lóng Wei doesn’t need to answer if it is difficult,” Feng Lao affirmed.

“The will to live had left me until I met Li Hua. I have taken my life in Xinshui, but she saved me. My life which was full of darkness, and hatred suddenly got that one source of light that lit the will in me to survive,” Lóng Wei said.

Feng Lao hummed and assured Lóng Wei that he would surely live a great and peaceful life.
