Chapter 1270 Follow his script, Chu Gucheng’s ruthless decision (please subscribe)
What happened in the Champion Hou Mansion last night shocked the entire Xianchu Haotu Imperial Capital.
Almost as early as the morning, many guards and generals came to the Champion House to inquire about what happened last night. The champion's house was full of mourning, and several of the champion's children also looked sad and angry. When such a big thing happened, no one could help but feel furious.
How brave did that thief have to commit murder on the birthday banquet of Chu Gucheng, the king of the country?
Many ministers felt palpitations and fear, and everyone was in danger. They all suspected that the hostile forces of Xian Chu Haotu had taken action to disrupt the hearts of the champions who rushed to the front line.
Of course, there are also people who doubt whether a certain guest may have done it. After all, there is a mixture of fish and dragons in the vast land of Xianchu, and people from all orthodox forces are coming. It is inevitable that there will be some people with impure motives and evil intentions among them.
Therefore, Chu Gucheng immediately sent people to investigate and inquire about the guests' movements last night.
The entire imperial capital was tightly sealed, and a brilliant formation, like light, rose from around the city wall, flowing with extremely brilliant brilliance. Pieces of ancient runes are intertwined, as if the avenue is sinking, containing tyrannical power, which is heart-warming.
At this moment, deep in the imperial capital, in a palace.
Chu Gucheng's face was ashen, his fists under his robe were clenched, and his whole body was trembling, as if it was difficult to suppress his anger at the moment.
But in front of him, his face was gloomy. The pale Chu Wushang was kneeling on the ground with his head down, extremely depressed, as if he had lost his soul. "You rebellious son, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Chu Gucheng spoke, almost gritting his teeth.
At this moment, he wished he could just slap it down, but after all, he was his own flesh and blood, and he had had high hopes for him for many years, so how could he let it go? "Father, please kill me. I am sorry for you. I have failed to live up to your high expectations and let you down completely."
Chu Wushang knelt on the ground and spoke in a murmur.
There was no emotion on his "943" face, and his eyes were empty, like a walking zombie. Behind Chu Gucheng, the figure of Dharma Saint emerged.
He looked at the current Chu Wushang with a slightly sad and helpless expression.
After all, Chu Wushang was Chu Gucheng's first heir, and the one who had the most high hopes.
Dharma Saint also watched Chu Wushang grow up with his own eyes. In his opinion, Chu Wushang was like his own grandson. Even Chu Wushang's name was chosen by him himself.
But now, looking at Chu Wushang like a walking corpse, he seemed to have lost his soul.
Even after Chu Gucheng's birthday party last night, he did such a crazy and unbelievable thing, which really made the Dharma Saint feel sad. "well"
The Dharma Saint sighed, not knowing what to say at this moment.
It was impossible to hide what Chu Wushang did in the Champion Hou Mansion last night.
Because he himself did not deliberately erase his traces at that time, as long as someone with a care would do a little probing, it would be easy to follow the clues and detect Chu Wushang's body. Once this kind of thing is exposed, the consequences will be simply unimaginable.
Not only Chu Wushang himself, but also the entire royal family of Xian Chu Haotu will suffer unpredictable consequences. Losing face in front of all the distinguished guests?
The majestic crown prince of Chu Haotu secretly sneaked into the palace at night and insulted his wife while the champion was leading his troops to the front line to fight against the enemy? What is this? If word spreads, the entire land of Xianchu will be the laughing stock of all Taoist forces.
Therefore, after Dharma Saint deduced the truth of last night, he immediately took action to cover up Chu Wushang. No one should be able to find out the clues in a short time.
Originally, he wanted to come over and tell Chu Gucheng this morning, but he never thought that Chu Wushang had already taken the initiative to come over, confessed what he did last night, and asked Chu Gucheng to give him death to calm the public's anger.
This scene made Dharma Saint even more heartbroken.
Chu Wushang had always been a mature and steady person in his eyes, capable of taking on large responsibilities. How could he do such a thing?
The Dharma Saint can only guess. It was probably because Chu Wushang was so angry that he did such a reckless thing. But so many years have passed, who would have thought that Chu Wushang's obsession is still so deep, and it seems to have turned into his inner demon. "You are doing this to let your father be, what should you do?
Seeing Chu Wushang like this, Chu Gucheng naturally felt extremely sad.
But things have already happened. Could he really be cruel enough to kill his son with his own hands because of a champion lady? Make this public? Not to mention this matter, no matter how he handles it, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Xianchu Haotu in the end.
Thinking of this, Chu Gucheng sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and turned his back to Chu Wushang. The palms under his broad imperial robe were tightly squeezed, and the bones of his fingers had turned white due to too much force. At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fu wants to see you."
Chu Gucheng didn't know why Uncle Fu asked for a meeting at this time, but he still let him in.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the eldest prince. I shouldn't have said those things to the eldest prince last night. People who hadn't seen Uncle Fu yet heard his choking and sorrowful voice. .
Chu Gucheng turned around and looked back.
Uncle Fu stumbled in with wrinkles all over his face, tears streaming down his face, full of regret and self-blame. At first, Chu Gucheng was a little confused as to why Uncle Fu said these words.
But soon, when Uncle Fu explained that he saw the eldest prince Chu Wushang was not in high spirits and felt depressed after leaving the birthday banquet last night, so he followed him with some worry, Chu Gucheng's expression finally changed.
He already guessed what happened next.
"So you told Wu Shang what happened back then?" Chu Gucheng took a deep breath and looked at Uncle Fu coldly.
Because of his poor protection, his youngest son Chu Xiao died.
Now it was because of his words that his eldest son Chu Wushang did such a stupid thing regardless of the consequences?
"I'm sorry for your majesty, and I'm sorry for the eldest prince. In fact, when he saw the eldest prince at that time, he had already developed an obsession with him. I just thought about telling him the truth."
Uncle Fu cried bitterly, fell to his knees on the ground, and kept kowtowing.
"It was only after I learned about the Champion House this morning that I guessed whether it was related to the eldest prince." He continued to explain what happened last night full of self-blame and annoyance.
Later, when he heard that Chu Wushang was still obsessed with what happened between Qinglan and the champion Hou Chuheng, and was still deeply resentful of Chu Gucheng, his father, Uncle Fu finally couldn't help but asked Chu Wushang. Shang revealed the truth of that year.
Jinglan will marry the champion Hou Chuheng. It is not Chu Gucheng who interferes and deliberately wins over Chu Heng before granting the marriage to the two.
Chu Gucheng never deliberately broke up Qinglan and the eldest prince. It was Qinglan who took the initiative to find Chu Gucheng and asked him to marry them.
Chu Gucheng didn't tell Chu Wushang his true identity, and he didn't want him to hate the champions Hou Chuheng and Jinglan, because he planned to train Chu Heng to be Chu Wushang's right-hand man in the future.
Uncle Fu didn't want Chu Wushang to have any resentment against Chu Gucheng, and at the same time, he also wanted him to let go of his obsession. Unexpectedly, it would lead to such unpredictable consequences.
After hearing this, Chu Gucheng showed no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Indeed, in the final analysis, Fubo's initial intentions were correct.
"Father, all of this has nothing to do with Uncle Fu. Everything was done by him personally, and he is willing to bear the consequences. What Uncle Fu said at that time was entirely for his sake. I hope father will not blame Uncle Fu." ”
Chu Wushang kept kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, his eyes empty and his expression dejected, as if he no longer cared about his life or death. But after hearing what Uncle Fu said, he couldn't help but raise his head and speak, pleading for mercy.
To this day, his mind is still full of thunder, and he can't react. Was last night a dream? Or did he really not control himself?
But no matter what, things have already happened, and it is now here, and there is no use regretting or worrying about it anymore.
He was indeed too impulsive last night. What he did not only brought shame to Xianchu Haotu, but also implicated the well-meaning Uncle Fu. Chu Wushang didn't know why he was so crazy last night.
At that moment, he couldn't even control his thoughts, as if there was a devil in his heart bewitching him. It felt more like the pain, disappointment, and anger that had accumulated in my heart for countless years all burst out.
Especially when he found Jinglan and asked why she took the initiative to find her father, Chu Gucheng, and asked him to grant a marriage to Chu Heng. Her answer was so calm and unconcerned.
Because she had fallen in love with Chu Heng at that time and wanted to be with him for life, that's all.
When she was young, she did like Chu Wushang, but later on, she also found that she had a crush on Chu Heng. It was difficult for her to let go of the two of them, both of whom were excellent at the time, and she considered accepting only one of them. But she was so honest that she couldn't do it, and she really couldn't bear to refuse their love and overtures.
In the years since Chu Wushang disappeared and left the imperial capital, her relationship with Chu Heng had gotten better and better, and Chu Heng had become more and more outstanding and dazzling, becoming the champion of the famous Chu Haotu.
"For all these years, I actually know that I owe you an apology, but you have been avoiding me and not meeting me. How do you want me to say those words to you? You will take the initiative to come to me tonight. I actually I'm very happy, so that I can say my original apology to you. I am indeed sorry for you. I was ignorant and did not reject you directly, which is why you suffered so much later. "
"But I really couldn't let go of your kindness to me. I just didn't want to hurt anyone. What's wrong with me? But you refused to see me for so many years and resented me like a stranger. Refuses to see me"
Jinglan's face was sad and her tone was slightly resentful.
And when she said those words, she also breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden that had been weighing on her heart all these years was finally let go. Chu Wushang looked at her blankly, and then suddenly sneered.
So that's what happened.
What she has always cared about is not the original transference, but that she should not blame her. She was not wrong, it was herself who was wrong.
Is this the truth he wants?
"If things happen again, Erchen's choice will still be the same as last night. I don't know how I was blind at the beginning, so I fell in love with a bitch like her.
Chu Wushang murmured, and a hint of anger suddenly appeared in his empty eyes. The admiration last night once again touched the most intolerable chord in his heart.
Over the years, he has always resented Chu Gucheng for beating up each other and tearing him and Qinglan apart.
That's why he was embarrassed to see Jinglan, thinking that he was too weak to resist his father, let alone protect her. But after learning what happened last night, he realized
I found myself as stupid as a clown being played in the palm of my hand.
"well"
"Uncle Fu, please get up. I can't blame you for this."
He looked at the old man who had been following him for a long time, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, and his head was bruised with red blood.
Chu Gucheng also felt a little soft in his heart. Although Chu Xiao died because of Uncle Fu's poor protection, he had done a lot for himself after all. When he was still young, it was only because of Uncle Fu's care that he was not bullied to death by those of his own clan.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for the eldest prince. It's all because of the old slave's instigation that the eldest prince would do such a thing. For what happened last night, the old slave is willing to bear all the consequences for the eldest prince. The old slave is old and has already It's useless, but the eldest prince is still young and has a bright future. He can't be stained by such a trivial matter. Anyway, the old slave's reputation has already been ruined, so why should he care about more infamy and scandal? Uncle Fu is still the same He fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face, his voice choked with sorrow.
Hearing this, both Chu Gucheng and Fa Sheng were moved.
"Uncle Fu, I did this, and I should bear all the consequences. Why do you have to do this?" Chu Wushang hurriedly said after hearing this, and wanted to get up and help Uncle Fu up.
He was extremely moved, but at the same time he felt extremely guilty and regretful.
"First Prince, I am sorry for you, this old slave," Uncle Fu burst into tears.
"Don't mention this matter again. It's just a Jinglan. If her death can help my son get rid of his inner demons and regain his will, it will be worth it.
"Master has taken action to erase and cover up all the traces of what happened last night. Even if Daluo Jinxian comes in person, there is no way to find any clues." "Wushang, you don't have to worry, she is just a woman, how can a father let her become your stain.”
Seeing this scene, Chu Gucheng made up his mind and said coldly with a wave of his hand. Over the years, Chu Wushang had never let him down.
It was impossible for him to really punish Chu Wushang for this matter, not to mention that Jinglan's death was also his own fault. Everything has been predetermined by cause and effect, and it can only be said to be retribution.
As for the champion Hou Chuheng, he also has a countermeasure. Now Xian Chuhao is surrounded by wolves and has many enemies. If you casually put this blame on foreign enemies and guests, could it be that the champion can really find out who did it? "Father
Chu Wushang looked at Chu Gucheng who was extremely cold at this moment. While he was moved in his heart, he couldn't help but feel strange and cold.
"Chu Heng got a pair of yin and yang jade in the early years. He asked Ling Yezi to make them into a pair of jade pendants for driving ducks. One of them, he will definitely stay with Qinglan. The two jade pendants have mutual resonance. , maybe he will be able to detect something with the other mandarin duck jade pendant."
Chu Gucheng frowned, thinking of something.
Now the champion Hou Chuheng is still fighting against foreign enemies on the border, and he can't let them find out the truth.
It is impossible for Chu Heng to escape and come back to find out the truth in person, so he will definitely send his confidants back with the mandarin duck jade pendant. "Chu Heng's confidants cannot be allowed to return to the imperial capital, they must be intercepted..."
Chu Gucheng's face was gloomy, with a bit of ruthlessness.
Although Chu Heng was respected by him, at this time, he could only feel wronged to Chu Heng.
What happened in Xianchu Haotu last night caused a stir everywhere, and everyone in Yuxian Palace was naturally questioned. However, even if you cross-examine this kind of thing, basically nothing can be found out.
Xianchu Haotu's Heart-Questioning Stone is not enough to detect the fluctuations of spiritual thoughts existing in the Tao realm, so naturally it is impossible to judge whether his words are true or false. In the morning, many ministers and guests went to the Champion's Mansion with their family members or disciples to express their condolences.
Gu Changge was still drinking tea and admiring bamboo in the courtyard, feeling extremely comfortable.
In front of him, an ancient book filled with chaos rose and fell, and the order of the Tao flowed and disappeared, hazy and strange.
Wisps of black smoke escaped one after another, turning into a vague silhouette in the void. It was the weapon spirit sealed in the Book of Scavengers. On the other side, the invisible black mist turned into a shrunken figure of Uncle Fu, who was reporting the matter respectfully and truthfully.
"My lord, everything developed as you expected. There were no twists and turns in what happened last night. Chu Gucheng has quietly sent secret guards outside the imperial capital to stop the champion Hou Chuheng's confidants and prevent him from returning to the imperial capital safely. "
"also
Chu Gucheng pretended to be furious and dispatched guards to search and investigate various places in the imperial capital.
