Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Zhuo Yun's face revealed a conflicted expression. He really wanted to know the truth, but he also felt that he seemed to have fallen into Zhao Xuan's trap.
"Alright, I'll trade. I want to know what kind of secret it is that made them disregard their brotherhood and destroy my grandfather's family!”Zhuo Yun finally made up his mind and said angrily.
"Give me the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles! I'm not just talking about hidden weapons, I'm also talking about the blueprint for the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles!”Zhao Xuan said leisurely.
"I don't have the blueprint with me, but I, Zhuo Yun, am a man of my word. As long as you tell me the truth, I will naturally hand over the blueprint!”Zhuo Yun said in a deep voice.
"Forget it. Actually, this is just a secret of the royal family. Today, I'll tell you.”
"Back then, the former emperor's two concubines, Concubine Li and the empress, were pregnant with the dragon seed at the same time. The former emperor was very happy and issued an edict. The prince born first would be the crown prince!”
"Prince, you can't say anymore!"
Zhang San, Li Si, and the others knelt down and said loudly. Boss Ling Ri stood there with a dejected expression.
"It's fine. Since it's a secret, it will be exposed sooner or later. Moreover, this prince came today to resolve this matter!”
"The Empress and Concubine Li were pregnant with the dragon seed at the same time, but it was Concubine Li who gave birth to the child. However, in the end, Concubine Li gave birth to a civet cat!”Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
Zhuo Yun laughed coldly." Ridiculous. How could a human give birth to a tanuki? Someone must have swapped the child for a tanuki for the Crown Prince's position!”
"That's right, Zhuoyun. You're very smart. They came up with the idea of changing the crown prince, but someone has to do it anyway.”
Zhuo Yun looked at Zhao Xuan in surprise when he heard Zhao Xuan's silence. Then, his face suddenly turned pale with fear.
"So the seven of them were the ones who replaced the Crown Prince back then?”Zhuo Yun's body trembled as he spoke.
"That's right. Now you know how big this secret is. They were afraid of being silenced by the forces behind them, so they took their families and fled.”
"Did the Eighth Prince send you here?" At this moment, Ling Ri looked at Zhao Xuan and his expression returned to normal.
"No, I came here on my own. You don't have to worry. The person behind this hasn't found you yet!”Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
"Then why did you come?”Li Si looked at Zhao Xuan and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, it's to save you. Although it's been twenty-five years, I think they haven't given up on tracking you down. As long as they find you, I don't think there will be anyone left alive in this Hermit Village!”
"Save us? As long as we appear, we will die!”Ling Ri said disdainfully.
Zhao Xuan smiled and said indifferently,"In this world, no one can kill anyone I want to live, not even the King of Hell!”
"Zhuoyun, do you know why I told you this secret?”Zhao Xuan turned to Zhuo Yun and said with a smile.
"Why?" Zhuo Yun asked in confusion.
"It's very simple. To some people, this secret is like a hole in the sky, but to others, this secret is just gossip in the palace!”
"Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of Crown Princes being wronged, framed, and slandered, resulting in their deaths. Liu Ju, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was the Crown Prince for more than thirty years, but in the end, his entire family was executed.”
"It has been twenty-five years, twenty-five years. His Majesty has been in power for thirteen years. Everyone knows that the current Emperor is called Zhao Zhen! Who else would care about a person who might have been appointed Crown Prince 25 years ago, even if he was really a descendant of the royal family?”
"Actually, you should be glad that you were merciful and didn't listen to Liu E and kill my brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here today just to discuss this matter calmly with you.”
"So do you know why they wanted to kill your grandfather's family back then?”Zhao Xuan asked Zhuo Yun.
Zhuo Yun was silent. Anyone would be careful to keep such a secret.
Ling Ri and the others looked at each other before Ling Ri said,""Your Highness, just say it, what do you want?”
"This matter can't be hidden in paper. Sooner or later, it will be exposed. If it is really used by someone with ill intentions, it will be a disaster for the Great Song!”
"I don't want such trouble to happen in Great Song, so I want to put an end to this matter in advance!”
"It's very simple. Follow me back to the capital!”
"The prince keeps saying that it's for the Great Song, but who can guarantee that the one using us isn't you? As far as we know, the Eighth Prince's line is the direct descendant of the Great Ancestor, while the current Emperor is the descendant of Taizong!”
The meaning in Ling Ri's words was very clear. If Zhao Xuan and the others were to plot for the throne and expose this matter, Ling Ri and the others would still be cannon fodder.
"That's right, you're indeed the boss of the Seven Flying Eagles. You're indeed meticulous, but I don't need you to believe me!”
After saying that, Zhao Xuan lightly slapped the tea on the table, and a stream of water instantly flew into the air. Then, in Zhao Xuan's hand, it turned into dozens of ice shards that shot towards Ling Ri and the others.
Zhao Xuan's attack was extremely fast, and the ice shards flew over at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they landed on their bodies and then fused into their bodies.
"Itchy!"
"So itchy!"
"What kind of insidious kung fu is this?"
In an instant, Zhang San, Li Si, and the others felt an extremely itchy sensation on their bodies. Only Ling Ri could barely suppress it with his internal energy. However, from the looks of it, he could not suppress it for long.
"This move is called Life-Death Talisman. It's a secret technique of my sect. No one in the world can solve it except for me. Those who are hit by the Life-Death Talisman will feel extremely itchy all over their body, and it will get worse day by day. Then, after eighty-one days, it will slow down day by day. This cycle can make people wish they were dead!”
After saying that, seeing that the few of them were already somewhat unable to suppress it, Zhao Xuan gently flicked out a few finger forces and tapped on their bodies.
"Alright, since you don't trust me, I can only use the Life Death Talisman to restrain you. After you go to the capital and cooperate with me, I will let you go.”Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
He had never thought that the hermit village would be so obedient.
