546 I cannot betray my master

Lóng Wei asked Feng Lao to come and sit next to him. He walked up to Lóng Wei and settled beside him under the tree.

“I have thought a lot about it. Though there is a very limited possibility that I have to send Li Hua away, if such a situation arises, then take Li Hua away. Qiu Zedong is a dangerous person. He met Li Hua when she was very young. He visited the Xu Residence as soon as he found out about the prophecy that Yuze did for her as well. Qiu Zedong decided to kill the entire Xu family because he found out that I was approaching her.”

Feng Lao was bewildered to hear Lóng Wei.

“Why did the King decide to kill them? I am confused, Prince Lóng Wei,” Feng Lao said.

“I do not know the exact reason, but I believe that it was because of me. If I had not been the dragon’s son, then they all would be alive; your family would have been alive too,” Lóng Wei asserted.

“No such situation will arise that I have to take Li Hua away from the palace,” Feng Lao said with a confident tone.

“Is Shuyao close to Prince Lóng Wei’s father?” Feng Lao asked.

“No,” Lóng Wei replied. At the moment, he was cautious of everyone around him. “Just give him the message tomorrow. You should go and sleep,” he asserted.

“What about Prince Lóng Wei? Will he not take a rest?” Feng Lao inquired.

.....

“I slept a lot earlier in the day,” Lóng Wei said. “You should go to bed. Tomorrow you have to leave early in the morning,” he suggested.

Feng Lao took his leave while Lóng Wei stayed under that tree for a while. After his thoughts got oriented again, he decided to go and check on the spy.

However, in the mid-way, he encountered Hei Chengxi.

“General Hei didn’t go home,” Lóng Wei asked.

“How could I go home?” Hei Chengxi muttered.

“Forgive me,” Lóng Wei apologized.

“The Prince doesn’t need to apologize,” Hei Chengxi said. “I failed to understand his side. I was at fault. Prince Lóng Wei, it was your mother’s decision to stay as the King’s concubine. I could not go against it. She wanted to save you,” he asserted.

“It has complicated my present and in the end, forced me to take her life,” Lóng Wei stated.

Hei Chengxi fisted his palm and he took a step toward Lóng Wei. He hugged Lóng Wei while patting his back. “If the King had not made it complex for the prince,” he murmured.

“Hmm.”

Lóng Wei pulled away and looked into Hei Chengxi’s eyes. “Qizhen will return, but not now. You have to wait for some time. I need to make sure that people close to me stay protected,” Lóng Wei said.

He had entrusted the most important work to Li Hua which was gaining the trust of the other princes. For that, he needed time. Until Li Hua gained that trust, he could not bring Qizhen to the capital.

“Is the spy awake?” Lóng Wei asked General Hei.

“No. He is still unconscious,” Hei Chengxi said.

“Follow me,” Lóng Wei said and they left for the room where the spy was kept.

Huang Xi smiled to see Lóng Wei. “Give me water,” Lóng Wei told him. Huang Xi quickly handed the wooden water mug to Lóng Wei. He threw the water at the spy’s face and promptly he gained consciousness.

Lóng Wei pulled the cloth out of his mouth and caught his face. His fingers dug into the spy’s cheeks and he said, “Now, listen to me carefully. If you want your king to be alive, then do what I tell you.”

“The King will kill you if he finds the son he nourished so much is betraying him,” the spy managed to say and gazed at Hei Chengxi. “You are still loyal to Qizhen!” He muttered.

“I always was,” Hei Chengxi replied.

“Talk to me, not him,” Lóng Wei sternly said.

“Write a message to your dear King. If you do not cooperate with me, I will make sure to kill your family,” Lóng Wei stated and let go of his face.

The spy frowned. He wasn’t ready to believe that Lóng Wei had found out about his family. He knew that Lóng Wei was tricking him. No way anyone could find out the private information about the spies.

“Li Zixuan told me everything before he died. I do not use children in my fights. But since you also destroyed many innocent families, I will do the same to yours,” Lóng Wei affirmed. He sounded scary, but the spy was loyal to the King more than his family.

“I do not care. My master is only one person. If my family gets sacrificed for it, then I will be proud only. You can kill me too because I will not utter a single word,” the spy stated.

“Hmm.” Lóng Wei stood up and turned to look at Hei Chengxi.

“General Hei was right. All the spies, if they have families, will betray them for Qiu Zedong,” Lóng Wei reminisced about his last day’s conversation with Hei Chengxi while going through the profiles of the spies.

Lóng Wei took out the plaque that he confiscated from the same spy and turned to look at him.

“I will make good use of it. I thought to keep you alive for your family’s sake. But they have to lose you sadly,” Lóng Wei affirmed and took out the dagger from inside his sash.

“Prince Lóng Wei will get caught if he kills me,” the spy stated.

“Only if your body is recovered,” Lóng Wei said.

“Hei Chengxi told me that you are going to be a father to a third child. Sadly, your child won’t be able to see you ever. Once your king will fall, your family will die for food, a house, and other amenities. You think that Qiu Zedong will be able to save your family. I give you the last chance to stay alive. Do what I tell you,” Lóng Wei proclaimed.

“The King has weakened. We have the information on all the networks. The time has changed, Lin Shicheng. We are no longer twenty years old adults. That’s why make a wise decision. Help Prince Lóng Wei. At least think of the family, who waits for you every single day. Don’t forget once you also admired our previous king’s work,” Hei Chengxi tried to make him understand.

Huang Xi was shocked to find the spy’s name and also the things from the past.

Lin Shicheng lowered his head. “I cannot betray my master,” he stated.

Lóng Wei chuckled and was ready to cut the vein in his neck, but stopped when Lin Shicheng submitted before him.
