“Let him go! I want to see what excuse he has this time!”
Zhao Jiong was also extremely angry, waving away the guards on both sides and striding forward.
“Stop talking nonsense! Tell me, did you go looking for trouble with Sisi again? How many times have I said that I, Nan Tianzong, don’t care about the grievances of your previous generation, but Sisi is my younger sister and the only family I have left in this world. As long as I’m alive, I won’t allow you to hurt her!”
“Rascal! Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know what you’re saying?”
Zhao Jiong became angrier as he spoke: “You are now my only heir, the only successor to my Zhao Country. How can you be so ignorant? When will you wake up? You and Liu Sisi can never be siblings because you are natural sworn enemies!”
“I, Nan Tianzong, am not your heir! I’ve said it long ago, the bond between you and me has vanished along with the tragic deaths of my big brother, my second brother, and my third brother. Zhao Dun, don’t force me to do what I don’t want to do!” Nan Tianzong roared.
He knew that Zhao Jiong hated the mention of the humiliating name Zhao Dun, but he deliberately brought it up in front of him; if you won’t let me live in peace, I won’t let you be at ease either!
“You may not have a choice! Tie him up!”
Zhao Jiong’s face was cold as he ordered the guards by his side.
Nan Tianzong did not take the guards seriously: “Do they really think they can catch me? Zhao Dun, you are daydreaming!”
“Are you? Carefully feel it.”
Zhao Jiong’s smile was full of malice.
Nan Tianzong laughed: “You’re playing tricks again, and you think that I, Nan Tianzong, would still… ” be fooled…
Before he could finish speaking, his legs weakened, and he nearly lost his balance. It was then that he realized what was wrong.
“What… What did you do to me?”
Zhao Jiong looked smug: “I learned this move from Liu Sisi. It’s called fighting fire with fire. If you want to find someone, go find your good sister! Take him away!”
Despite Nan Tianzong’s struggles, he was still taken away by the two guards and put under strict supervision.
Manager Zhu, who had now become Left Minister Zhu, quickly came forward: “Your Majesty, I’m afraid treating the Crown Prince like this might be… ”
“Sigh! This foolish boy has always regarded me as an enemy. Hasn’t he ever thought that although I have taken advantage of him to gain some benefits, in the end, my entire country landscape will be his? What more does he want? I really don’t understand…”
Left Minister Zhu thought for a moment: “The Crown Prince is young and it’s understandable that he doesn’t understand now. It’ll be fine once he comes to realize things later.”
Zhao Jiong knew that Left Minister Zhu was just comforting him, but he had to nod his head.
“Well, let’s hope so!”
–
Because Zhao Jiong had declared himself emperor in Gongzhou City, the whole city was tense, with whispers and rumors of military movements everywhere.
Every checkpoint was strictly inspected, causing great inconvenience to ordinary civilians and severely affecting their daily lives, leading to deep resentment among the common people.
However, the soldiers at the checkpoint were also at a loss. They conducted round-the-clock inspections, and the prison cells were filled with “suspects,” but there were no actual criminals to be found. Thinking about the tasks assigned to them by their superiors, they had no choice but to carry on.
“What do you do? Where does your family live? Who’s in your family?”
