Who knew that after staring at him for a while, they found out that Chen Xuan was indeed a waste who couldn't practice.

Moreover, he is cowardly and can be bullied by anyone, and he doesn't seem to be very smart.

At first, everyone thought that Chen Xuan was pretending to be this way to protect himself.

But unexpectedly, Chen Xuan has been a waste for twenty years.

Therefore, everyone believed that he was a waste, even the people of the Chen family believed it.

But no one expected that after Chen Xuan was framed for theft and exiled to the frontier, he began to emerge.

"This boy is so patient and will definitely become a great man in the future. Even if he can't reach his father's achievements, he will definitely not be unknown. I wonder if I am right to place Liu Jinyu next to him?"

Qin Zhen muttered to himself, his eyes revealing depth.

At the same time, in the capital's Chunfeng Tower, it is the largest brothel in the capital.

In the private room.

"This damned wretch actually managed to walk out of Bandit Mountain unscathed? Humph, even if you managed to reach the border, so what? Thinking of establishing a family there? You're simply dreaming!"

Chen Tian put his arm around a slim woman, his palm restlessly wandering over her smooth and delicate skin.

With the other hand, he held the wine glass and drank silently.

But as he drank, he suddenly sneered, "Over the years, the Chen family in the border areas have long been estranged from the Chen family in the capital!"

"The Chen family in the capital has always wanted to control the Chen family in the border areas. In fact, they no longer listen to the clan leader's words. They only follow orders and not instructions!"

"Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, do you think you can be safe in the borderlands? How many of the clansmen who left the capital for the borderlands in recent years have ever returned alive? Furthermore, I wrote a letter to you, adding fuel to the fire. Without me doing anything, there are many people who want to kill you!"

As he spoke, he took another big gulp of wine, his eyes became a little vague, as if he had already seen the moment when Chen Xuan's head and body were separated, and then he laughed like crazy.

"The only pity is that I can't kill you with my own hands. I can't get that little bitch An Ruxue either. She has a body of ice and jade. If I had it, I would have broken through to the martial artist realm in less than a year. Damn Chen Xuan, you ruined my good fortune!"

Sima Mansion.

At this time, Sima Tengfei, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was reading a file in his study.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Sima Tengfei is a middle-aged man with a square face, a goatee, and an extraordinary demeanor.

With a creak, the door was pushed open and Sima Xiba walked in.

"Father, I've received the latest news. The Chen Xuan you've been following has already left Bandit Mountain."

Sima Xiba told Sima Tengfei all the information he knew.

"Haha, after hiding it for so many years, it finally can't be hidden anymore."

Sima Tengfei suddenly laughed.

Seeing this, Sima Xiba couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and couldn't help asking: "Father, didn't you want him to die? Why are you so happy that he walked out of the Bandit Mountain alive?"

The reason why Sima Xiba colluded with Chen Tian to frame Chen Xuan and kill him was actually because he was instructed by Sima Tengfei.

He couldn't understand why his father, who was after all the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a high-ranking official of the second rank in the imperial court, would kill a useless person?

And now, the other person is not dead, but he is even happier. What is he thinking?

Sima Tengfei glanced at his son and said calmly, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Knowing too much will do you no good."

"Yes!"

Sima Xiba was a smart man. He immediately lowered his head without asking any more questions.

Sima Tengfei looked at him deeply and suddenly asked, "Have you been spending more time with Princess Changning recently?"

Sima Xiba fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

Because Princess Changning was really ugly and had a bad temper, which was disrespectful to the gentleman.

Sima Xiba was extremely depressed because he had to lie to his father that he was trying to match him up with the princess.

He would rather marry a prostitute than marry Princess Changning.

Seeing him like this, Sima Tengfei snorted coldly and scolded him, "Fool, Princess Changning is the most beloved daughter of the King of Qi. If you can marry her, it will be the blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes!"

"not to mention……"

Sima Tengfei's eyes flashed, his gaze blazing, "The current emperor is not a man. There are quite a few complaints in the court, and many people secretly support the King of Qi."

"Hasn't your Majesty seen the huge resistance he faces even when suppressing bandits? The ministers below simply don't obey her. If the King of Qi ascends to the throne in the future, Princess Changning will become a princess. By then, you will be even less worthy of her!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Xiba's eyes widened instantly.

He felt like he had heard a huge secret!

"Father, the King of Qi wants to replace the current emperor?"

Sima Tengfei immediately glared at him and scolded him, "Be careful with your words!"

Sima Xiba quickly shut his mouth. After all, trouble comes from the mouth. If there were ears and the emperor knew about this, the entire Sima family would be executed!

Sima Tengfei's eyes flickered as he continued slowly, "The Prince of Qi has long possessed the strength to challenge His Majesty. The reason he's been holding off on action is because he's searching for something. If the chance of success is only 50% now, then if he finds that something, the chance of success will increase to 90%!"

Sima Xiba couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "What could possibly increase the King of Qi's chances of conquering the country so much?"

Sima Tengfei said coldly: "You don't need to know this thing. You just need to know that in the entire Daqian Dynasty, the only living person who knows the whereabouts of that thing is Chen Xuan!"

Sima Xiba's pupils shrank. He never expected that it was related to Chen Xuan!

"For twenty years, this kid has been playing the fool and pretending to be useless. For twenty years, no one has given up hope on the thing his parents left behind. I didn't expect that he would be exposed now, haha."

"If I get that thing and help the King of Qi ascend to the throne, it will be a great achievement. I will be ranked first on the merit list and hold the highest rank. The position of Prime Minister of the Daqian Dynasty will belong to me, second only to the King and above everyone else!"

"Send more people to secretly keep a close eye on that kid Chen Xuan. Be careful not to alarm him, and don't let anyone else discover him!"

Sima Xiba took a deep breath, and at this moment he finally realized the importance of Chen Xuan.

He nodded heavily and said, "Father, I know what to do."

...

After leaving Bandit Mountain, Chen Xuan and his party continued to move towards the northwestern border area of ​​the Daqian Dynasty.

After a long journey of nearly half a month.

Finally, they saw a huge city wall rising from the ground in the distance!
