538 To use me in his way [Bonus chapter]

Lóng Wei glanced at Zhai Liang, who was one of the spies of the King. He chuckled and leaned his bank on the chair. Zhai Liang knitted his brows together as he was slightly confused by Lóng Wei’s sudden reaction.

Lóng Wei, on the other hand, thought about how could he almost fall into the trap of his father. Luckily, he had not discussed anything important that could have brought him to danger.

“Does His Highness need to say something to me? He doesn’t look in a good mood,” Zhai Liang said while being concerned.

“Indeed, I am in a terrible mood,” Lóng Wei said and asked him to follow him. He stood up and walked up to Zhai Liang, who promptly lowered his head.

“Zhai Liang, I have found something about Qizhen. Follow me,” Lóng Wei stated and walked ahead out of the room.

‘That’s an important piece of news for His Majesty. However, before informing His Majesty, I need to go with Lóng Wei to check what he found out,’ Zhai Liang thought. He smirked and ran after the Prince. He got into the carriage, which Lóng Wei had prepared already and soon the carriage left.

Lóng Wei had the window opened when he saw Cha Ying running. He got surprised to see her in male attire. ‘Did she run away from her house?’ Lóng Wei thought and a chuckle escaped his mouth.

He didn’t stop the carriage for her and decided to ignore that he ever saw her.

Zhai Liang found out that they had taken the route which was headed to the deep forest.

.....

“Your Highness, where are we heading to?” Zhai Liang again asked and turned to look at Lóng Wei.

“To see the person, who is aiding Qizhen. I have got a tip-off that the person is hiding here,” Lóng Wei stated.

“Then, why did we come in a carriage? He might get alerted,” Zhai Liang opined.

“So that the person won’t think that the prince is here to take his life,” Lóng Wei asserted.

After a while, the carriage stopped and they both stepped out of it.

They entered the deep forest when Zhai Liang asked him how he found out about such a piece of important information.

“Some things are meant to be secrets,” Lóng Wei asserted and smiled.

“I get surprised by His Highness’s way of doing his work. Everyone fears him. He has a way to terrorize the people,” Zhai Liang stated.

“What about you, Zhai Liang?” Lóng Wei slowly halted and slightly turned to gaze at Zhai Liang in amusement. “Do you feel terrorized around me?” He asked.

“In the beginning, Your Highness,” Zhai Liang answered.

Lóng Wei hummed. He pulled the sword out of the scabbard, which confused Zhai Liang.

“You should have feared me all the time, Zhai Liang,” Lóng Wei stated and pointed the sword at his neck.

Zhai Liang frowned to hear Lóng Wei.

“I do fear him,” Zhai Liang replied.

Lóng Wei snickered and moved the sword another inch to Zhai Liang’s neck. A slight cut appeared on his neck and he stopped blinking his eyes.

“Whom do you work for? Tell me your real name,” Lóng Wei said while glaring at Zhai Liang. Although he knew about it for the past two days, he had thoroughly researched him with Feng Lao’s help, but he wanted to hear from Zhai Liang’s mouth.

Zhai Liang understood that Lóng Wei had found out who he was. But, how? Everything was taken care of carefully.

“Since your real identity is never used, so I’ll call you Zhai Liang only. You fooled me well, Zhai Liang. Now, it’s the time when you should leave this body,” Lóng Wei affirmed. Before he could kill him, Zhai Liang pointed the dagger at Lóng Wei’s abdomen.

“Prince Lóng Wei will die first, so he should think carefully,” Zhai Liang stated with a stern tone.

“His Majesty will kill you if I die here today. He has never ordered any of his spies to kill me until he finds where Qizhen is. That is possible only through me because only I know where he is,” Lóng Wei asserted.

Zhai Liang smiled to hear Lóng Wei.

“Prince Lóng Wei is wrong. As soon as any of the spies find out that he is betraying the King, he has to die,” Zhai Liang affirmed and was going to shove the dagger inside Lóng Wei’s abdomen when a speeding arrow hit his wrist.

The dagger immediately fell from his hand and he cried in pain. Lóng Wei kicked him and he fell to the ground.

Feng Lao ran in Lóng Wei’s direction and asked him if he was alright.

“I am fine,” Lóng Wei replied and shoved the sword in the middle of Zhai Liang’s chest. He instantly died with his eyes open when Feng Lao asked him why he didn’t ask for useful information from Zhai Liang.

“He would have never opened his mouth,” Lóng Wei said.

Feng Lao told Lóng Wei that Hei Chengxi would be there soon. They would make the site as if a fierce fight happened there.

“I need to be careful else the King will kill me,” Lóng Wei murmured and cut his right hand.

“Prince Lóng Wei! Why did you cut your hand?” Feng Lao worriedly asked and bent a little to tear the piece of fabric from his robe.

He asked Lóng Wei to forward his hand.

“The King should think that a fight happened here. Until he sees the wound on my hand, he won’t be satisfied,” Lóng Wei asserted.

Feng Lao grabbed his right hand and wrapped the piece of cloth around Lóng Wei’s hand. “Your body is precious,” Feng Lao said.

Lóng Wei tried to pull his hand away, but Feng Lao gripped it tightly. “Prince Lóng Wei should not feel he is alone. He has many people, who love him and care for him. He has a long life to live. He should not feel low with a spy’s statement,” He said and tried to soothe Lóng Wei.

Lóng Wei pulled his hand away and gazed into his eyes. “The King’s suspicion will grow if I keep killing his spies. Li Hua’s life will get in danger because of this. I need to change the entire plan. I realized now that I cannot take Qiu Zedong lightly because he controlled me all these years. When he can kill Yuze, he can do anything. He can go to any extent to use me in his way,” Lóng Wei said and clenched his fists.
