Chapter 608 Chen Hongsheng Dies

Chen Xu stopped and looked down at the middle-aged man leaning against the tree in front of him.

He had a head full of white hair and looked tired and exhausted, no longer in the same spirit as before. He looked calm, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xu calmly.

As if he had expected something, there was not much surprise on his face!

There was a brief silence around him!

The sun was scorching, and the scorching sun exposed everything in the world.

Chen Xu lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding Chen Hongsheng's sight, and said in a slightly depressed tone: "Uncle should be able to guess."

Chen Hongsheng stared at him quietly, and after a long time, a complex expression appeared on his face, accompanied by a bitter smile.

"They really don't want me to live!"

Chen Xu said in a deep voice: "Uncle knows too much, they are worried. Only when uncle dies, they will stop!"

"Our Chen family can be preserved!"

Looking at the nephew he trusted most in the past, Chen Hongsheng no longer had much emotion in his heart. Perhaps everything was doomed from the betrayal of Chen Xu that day.

"Can the Chen family really be saved?"

Chen Hongsheng glanced at him, but this glance shocked Chen Xu's heart.

The already uneasy mood became even more uneasy.

He suppressed his emotions, looked at Chen Hongsheng and said in a deep voice: "This is the only way for the Chen family to survive... I have no choice!"

"The Zhu and Yan families have been confiscated by the Lin Wang Mansion, and none of them escaped... If I don't do this, their fate today will be the fate of our Chen family..."

Speaking of this, Chen Xu's tone became a little more excited: "Uncle, the Lin Wang Mansion is coming for our Linjiang family this time. Fighting with the Lin Wang Mansion will only lead to death. We can't win..."

"I can only do this to save the Chen family. Uncle, you put the Chen family in a dangerous situation. Only you... At least in this way, the Chen family will not follow the footsteps of the Zhu and Yan families..."

Chen Xu's eyes drooped slightly, and his tone was low.

But his expression was very firm. He never felt that he had done anything wrong!

He did covet the position of the head of the Chen family, but at the same time, he was indeed saving the Chen family!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Linwang Mansion is going to attack the aristocratic families in Linjiang City, and now it is taking advantage of this turmoil to sweep away the dissidents without any worries!

If it weren't for him... the Chen family as the fuse, how could it have escaped the sanctions?

The fate of the Chen family may even be worse than that of the Zhu and Yan families!

Joining the Linwang Mansion is the only way out for the Chen family!

Even if it will make the Chen family lose its current glory, and even become a puppet of the Linwang Mansion.

But at least, the Chen family can be saved!

Hundreds of lives in the Chen family can be saved, and the foundation of the Chen family for many years can also be preserved!

He, Chen Xu, is a hero who saved the Chen family!

If the only thing he did wrong, it was probably betraying his uncle in front of him!

But he had to do it!

A trace of sharpness flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and then he returned to calm. He said in a deep voice: "Uncle, if you were me, what would you choose?"

Chen Hongsheng was silent for a long time.

What would he do?

After thinking for a long time, Chen Hongsheng still had no answer in his heart. But perhaps, he already had the answer, but he was unwilling to mention it!

Chen Hongsheng smiled bitterly, and his face was relieved. He leaned against the tree weakly and looked at the young figure in front of him.

He stood quietly in the same place, with a complicated expression, but his eyes were extremely firm, with a strong desire.

Chen Hongsheng, who seemed to understand something, breathed a sigh of relief.

"He promised to support you to become the person in charge of the Chen family?"

Chen Xu naturally knew who the 'he' in Chen Hongsheng's mouth was!

"I have no choice!"

His voice was low.

At first he was threatened, and he embarked on the road of betraying the Chen family without a choice.

And now, he has no way back.

He betrayed his uncle and has long been a traitor in the Chen family.

The only person he can rely on now is the prince of Lin!

If he wants to become the head of the Chen family, he must rely on the help of the prince and return to the Chen family as the savior who saves the fate of the Chen family.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu's breathing was slightly rapid, and his fists were slightly clenched!

He is not a traitor. He obviously saved the Chen family. Everyone in the Chen family should thank him!

"You came to kill me today. Is there his instruction behind the scenes?"

Chen Hongsheng looked at him and suddenly spoke. His turbid eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him calmly: "This is also the token of your surrender to him, right?"

Chen Xu was suddenly startled and looked at the middle-aged man under the tree.

Obviously he was so embarrassed, and he was like a dying old man at this moment, without any deterrent power.

But for some reason, Chen Xu still felt that his thoughts could be seen through by Chen Hongsheng!

This feeling made him extremely frightened.

After a while, he calmed down, his voice slightly hoarse: "I have no choice..."

"Uncle, I'm sorry!"

"You're not sorry for me."

Chen Hongsheng's expression was surprisingly calm, he was not angry.

Perhaps he had already expected this day, it didn't matter whether he was angry or not, it couldn't change any results!

"In that case, why don't you do it?"

Chen Hongsheng's calm tone made Chen Xu's heart tremble.

A strong sense of panic surged in his heart, and the slightly trembling palm made him unable to do it.

Especially Chen Hongsheng's calm expression, his deep and turbid eyes quietly stared at him. The calmer he was, the more uneasy he made him!

The man in front of him was his uncle after all!

Now he had to send his uncle off in person, so he couldn't be calm and indifferent no matter what.

Chen Xu took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

When he looked up again, he was less flustered and more cold.

And... a touch of determination!

He put his right hand under his sleeve, and when he reached out again, he had a silver dagger in his hand.

Chen Xu held the dagger in his hand and walked slowly to the tree.

At this moment, the complex emotions on his face reached their peak. But the coldness and determination in his eyes also reached their peak at the same time!

"Uncle, I'm sorry!"

Chen Xu spoke in a low voice, as if talking to himself.

"Have a good journey!"

The dagger in his hand, the knife fell!

"Puff!"

The sharp dagger cut Chen Hongsheng's throat, and blood spilt.

Chen Hongsheng's pupils under the tree suddenly shrank, and he stared at Chen Xu, but there was no anger on his face. He just spoke with a complex and relieved tone, and finally spoke with difficulty: "Chen family...you, you should...protect, protect the Chen family..."

"Don't let me, die, die with eyes wide open..."

After saying this with difficulty, Chen Hongsheng's head drooped weakly and stopped breathing!

He's dead!

The head of the Chen family, the famous family leader in Linjiang City, died quietly under this tree in the wilderness!

Died silently!

"Pah!"

The dagger in Chen Xu's hand fell and hit the stone beside him.

And his whole body was limp, he fell to the ground, gasping for breath, his face was pale, as if he had lost all his strength, and fear and anxiety were overflowing on his face.

He stared at the scene in front of him, as if he was dreaming!

He, he killed his uncle? !

He, he really killed his uncle with his own hands, killed the uncle in front of him whom he once admired very much?

At this moment, Chen Xu was panic-stricken!

He kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down, but the fear still made him feel cold all over.

He lowered his head and looked at his palms quietly. His palms were stained with a lot of blood, and the hot breath made him clearly feel what he felt at the moment!

The sun was shining brightly, but his heart was cold!

Like the frost in deep winter!

Chen Xu knew that there was no turning back now!

This was the path he chose, and this was the price he had to pay...

He sat there quietly in silence for a long time, until a long time later, when he raised his head again, the panic on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gradually calm expression.

Although his face was still pale, he could see that his eyes gradually became firm and cold at the same time.

At this moment, Chen Xu's aura gradually changed!

It's hard to describe!

But at this moment, he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of cold air in a trance.

He struggled to get up, looking at the gradually cold corpse under the tree, his eyes gradually deepened, and a hint of sharpness flashed across them.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't let the Chen family be destroyed in my hands..."

"One day, I will definitely make the Chen family rise again and become the largest family in Linjiang City... No, Linzhou!"

"I will definitely do much better than you!"

"..."

Linwang Mansion, backyard.

"Early this morning, Chen Hongsheng was secretly sent out of the city. On the way, Chen Xu blocked Chen Hongsheng's way and personally ended Chen Hongsheng's life!"

In the courtyard, Lin Qingqing was reporting intelligence.

Under the eaves, Lin Jiangnian looked indifferent, having expected this, and nodded slightly.

"Did Chen Xu do it himself?"

"That's right!"

Lin Qingqing nodded: "He cut Chen Hongsheng's throat with his own hands, and found a place to bury him in the wild before returning to Linjiang City."

"Tsk, he was really cruel!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "He can even kill his own uncle, this guy is really vicious!"

A trace of sharpness flashed in Lin Qingqing's eyes: "Your Highness, this person is cruel and ruthless, he will do anything to achieve his goals, even his relatives can be killed, do you want to kill him..."

Lin Qingqing's tone was full of murderous intent!

"That's not necessary!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "Keep him, he is still useful!"

"Your Highness, aren't you worried that he will be bad for your Highness in the future?"

Lin Qingqing was a little worried: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger to harm you?"

"He doesn't have that opportunity!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled, Chen Xu may have this ambition, but he won't have this opportunity!

Lin Qingqing nodded slightly thoughtfully. Although he didn't know why His Highness was like this, Lin Qingqing trusted His Highness very much.

Since His Highness said that Chen Xu didn't have this opportunity, Lin Qingqing naturally believed it.

Then, Lin Qingqing remembered another thing and said puzzledly: "There is still one thing I don't understand."

"Go ahead!"

"Since Your Highness sent someone to secretly send Chen Hongsheng out of the city today, why did you let Chen Xu kill him?"

Lin Qingqing was a little puzzled about this matter.

Chen Hongsheng was originally exiled to southern Xinjiang this time. The journey was dangerous and many people would want to kill him.

His Highness secretly sent him out of the city and sent experts to protect him. But if that's the case, why didn't His Highness stop Chen Xu from killing Chen Hongsheng?

Lin Qingqing looked at His Highness puzzledly, and soon, she got a positive answer from His Highness's eyes.

"Chen Hongsheng's life or death is not important, but only if he dies at the hands of Chen Xu, his death will be valuable."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had expected that Chen Xu would kill Chen Hongsheng!

Since he wants to be the leader of the Chen family, he cannot let Chen Hongsheng continue to live. Only if Chen Hongsheng is dead can he sit back and relax!

Because everything Chen Xu did was always within Lin Jiangnian's expectations.

Chen Xu's plan to kill Chen Hongsheng was also part of his plan.

Lin Qingqing still seemed to understand something, but she didn't seem to understand it at the same time!

It’s time to grow a brain again!

At this moment, a servant's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Your Highness, Chen Xu of the Chen family would like to see you, Your Highness!"

"..."

lobby.

Chen Xu knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and looked respectful.

In front of him, a young figure stood quietly, looking at him calmly.

"Get up."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and spoke calmly.

"yes."

Chen Xu stood up respectfully, still lowering his head slightly, looking respectful and nervous.

All due respect.

Seeing him like this, Lin Jiangnian sneered in his heart.

Rather, he can disguise himself!

No wonder he was able to win Chen Hongsheng's trust before. This guy looked harmless and completely obedient and respectful. But this guy's cold-blooded methods are not much worse than Gao Boyan's.

Gao Boyan could kill his own son for profit, but Chen Xu killed his uncle. Strictly speaking, there is no difference between these two people. They are both ruthless people who will do anything to achieve their goals.

Lin Jiangnian smiled half-heartedly: "Is Chen Hong alive or dead?"

Chen Xu lowered his head: "Your Highness, don't worry, uncle is dead... and will never become a threat to Your Highness again!"

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "If this prince wants to kill him, why do you need to do it?"

Hearing that Chen Xu trembled, his face turned pale and he was a little frightened.

This appearance fell in Lin Jiangnian's eyes, and he felt even more hypocritical.

"You don't have to pretend in front of me. You are not a good person, so you don't have to pretend to be honest!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and said calmly.

And Chen Xu's face became paler... This time, he was really pale!

He didn't seem to expect that Lin Jiangnian would directly expose his thoughts. His disguise seemed to be extremely funny to His Royal Highness!

"You are a smart man, and I admire you very much. Since you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will keep your word."

Having said this, he glanced at him again: "Now that Chen Hongsheng is dead, the position of the head of the Chen family will be vacant, and there will definitely be fierce fighting within the Chen family. Don't worry, my son will help you become the leader of the Chen family. !”

Chen Xu's eyes burst out with a burning gleam, which was the desire for power.

It’s hard to hide!

"thump!"

Chen Xu knelt down again, his expression excited and excited, his tone trembling slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness..."

"I, Chen Xu, promise that the Chen family will be loyal to His Highness in the future and will never have any second thoughts. If there is any violation, heaven will strike with thunder..." (End of this chapter)
