Chapter 95: The Imperial Family's Sudden Change

  "You're a beast, how can you do something so stupid!" Tian Long... Kou, in the forbidden area of the imperial palace, Liu Zhen's whole body was trembling with anger, his face furious as he stared at his grandson Liu Yan kneeling before him.

  "Grandfather, I'm not wrong," Liu Yan argued with a serious face.

  "That's right, haha." Liu Zhen angrily and hastily laughed and said: "It's you who is wrong, I really regret why I handed the throne over to a brainless person like you in the first place. If your father were still here, that would be great!"

  Coughing, Liu Zhen perhaps spoke too hastily, and so began to cough repeatedly, his old face turning red from the effort.

  "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body." Qi Feng and Hai Tu, two named guards, advised in unison.

  "Alright, alright." Liu Zhen waved his hand and a look of desolation appeared on his face as he said: "Leng Fengzi, it's me, Liu Zhen, who owes you an apology! It's the Liu family that has wronged you!"

  "Get out of here, from today on, you are not allowed to set foot in this place again." Liu Zhen said calmly, then turned to the two guards Qi Feng and Hai Tu: "Qi Lao, Xiao Hai, Xiao Tu."

  "In."

  "From today on, if Liu Yan dares to enter the forbidden land, kill him without pardon."

  Zi Feng and Hai Tu, two guards, heard Liu Zhen's words. The three of them paused for a moment, and even Liu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, heard his grandfather's words. He was as if struck by lightning, stunned, and couldn't believe that his own grandfather could be so ruthless and heartless, to the point where he didn't even want his own grandson just for the sake of a minister.

  Liu Zhen saw the appearance of Qi Feng and the others, a hint of anger appeared on his face: "What? Am I not the emperor now? Even my words are useless?"

  "His subordinates did not dare to speak in unison. Three people responded in unison, 'Let him roll!' Liu Zhen turned his back and let out a faint sigh."

  "Yaqian Liu Yan cried out in grief."

  Chi Feng saw this scene, gave a glance to the two guards beside Hai Tu, and the two guards nodded slightly and walked in front of Liu Yan, stretching out their hands politely: "Your Majesty, please..."

  "Grandpa, are you really going to abandon Yan'er?" Liu Yan called out again with a sense of reluctance.

  Liu Zhen didn't say anything and simply waved his hand.

  "Your Majesty, please ask the two guards to repeat this sentence again. This time, however, the sentence was not as polite as before. I estimate that if Liu Yan still does not leave the forbidden area, they will really use force."

  Liu Yan reluctantly looked at his grandfather's back, a resentful glint flashed in his eyes, then he stood up, swung his sleeves and left the forbidden area with big strides.

  "Alas!" Liu Zhen let out a long sigh.

  "Your Majesty, take care of your body." Zifeng comforted.

  Liu Zhen's face revealed a hint of bitter smile, saying: "This rebellious son is really too heart-wrenching for me. He actually dares to collude with outsiders to harm our country's good general! Doesn't he know that half of the rivers and mountains of Tianlong Country were won by Cold Fengzi's sword and gun? For the sake of Tianlong Country, Cold Fengzi was willing to die seven times without regret. It's laughable that my descendants are afraid that Cold Fengzi's power will affect the stability of Tianlong Country's rivers and mountains, haha."

  Qifeng and the three others heard the emperor's painful laughter, their faces slightly darkened, with a hint of nostalgia on each of their faces, as if reminiscing about past events.

  Liu Zhen smiled and then turned serious, asking Qi Feng: "Qi Lao, have you found out the identity of that old man?"

  "In response to Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have not been able to investigate the identity of that old man." Qi Feng bowed his head in response, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face quickly turned pale.

  Liu Zhen saw this scene and his face suddenly changed, he hastily supported Qi Feng who was on the verge of collapse. He asked in surprise: "Qi Lao? What's wrong with you?"

  "Hehe, Qi Feng's face revealed a wry smile as he said: 'Your Majesty, I'm incompetent. Last night, I snuck into that old man's courtyard alone and was discovered. We exchanged blows, but I only lasted three moves before being hit by his palm. If Fu Lao hadn't arrived in time, I probably wouldn't have made it back either.'"

  "Old Fu?" Liu Zhen's face showed a hint of surprise, then carefully helped Qi Feng sit down on the chair, and his face revealed a surprised expression: "How could Old Fu coincidentally come to the imperial palace like this?"

  "I think Fu Lao must be trying to find out who hurt Lengzi, and coincidentally bumped into me fighting with that old man!" Qifeng explained.

  "How could this be, my son is truly mad, and he even dares to harm you. Liu Zhen's face was filled with anger, if Liu Yan were still in front of him at that moment, he would probably slap him without hesitation."

  At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the outer periphery of the forbidden land. It seemed that many people's footsteps had sounded, and this sound made Liu Zhen and his four servants stunned for a moment.

  Two of Hai Tu's guards nodded to each other, and in an instant, the two figures vanished into the house. A moment later, the sound of fighting echoed through the air. Immediately after, two figures flew out of the house and landed on the ground.

  Liu Zhen and Qi Feng saw the two people flying in, their faces changed suddenly. Qi Feng and Liu Zhen stood up together, and despite his weak body, they hurried to the side of the two figures who had fallen to the ground. They asked in unison: "Hai Bo, Tu Qian, how are you two?"

  "Hmph!" Hai Bo and Tu Qian both spat out a mouthful of blood, saying in unison: "Your Majesty, Qi Lao, be careful, the expert has arrived."

  "What?" Liu Zhen and Qi Feng's faces changed, but just as they had barely called out, a loud laughter came from outside the house, followed by two figures walking in. One of them was the current Emperor of Tianlong Country, Liu Yan, who was accompanied by an old man with a short stature. However, this short old man did not lose his composure due to his height, on the contrary, he exuded an aura that made people feel very uncomfortable.

  Liu Zhen saw his grandson's smiling face and suddenly felt indignant, immediately standing up and pointing with anger: "You unfilial son, what are you doing?"

  "What's going on?" Liu Zhen's face revealed a hint of cold smile and said: "You don't even recognize me as your grandson, why should I still consider you my grandfather?"

  "Good, good, good!" Liu Zhen heard this and burst out laughing: "I, Liu Zhen, have spent half my life at war, bit by bit building the empire of Tianlong, and now I've got a 'filial' grandson too, haha!"

  Don't look at Liu Zhen, who only has a small swordsmanship cultivation, but the king's aura that he has accumulated over the years is not something that ordinary people can bear. So when Liu Yan saw his grandfather's appearance, he still felt a sense of fear in his heart and couldn't help but take a few steps back before stopping. "Liu Jun," the short old man seemed to be very displeased with Liu Yan's fearful appearance and couldn't help but call out to him.

  Liu Yan seemed to trust this short old man very much, and upon hearing the old man's words, his fearful appearance returned once again. He stood up straight in front of Liu Zhen and smiled, saying: "Grandfather, you're already old, you've completely lost that vigor from before. It's better for you to just stay in the restricted area and enjoy your remaining years!"

  "Want to imprison me?" Liu Zhen's face revealed a faint smile as he asked.

  Liu Yan heard his grandfather's straightforward words, and his face slightly paused for a moment before nodding in agreement: "Not bad."

  "Haha!" Liu Zhen's face revealed a cold smile as he said, "I understand, you can leave now."

  "Please hand over your sword token, Grandfather." Liu Yan said calmly.

  Liu Zhen's expression changed slightly upon hearing Liu Yan's words. A cold smile appeared on his face as he said, "I'm afraid this is your true intention tonight! What if I refuse to hand it over?"

  Liu Yan gazed at the expression on his grandfather's face, and after a fierce internal struggle, he let out a faint breath and said: "Please hand over the sword token, Grandfather. Otherwise, Qi Lao and Hai Tu, the two guards, will lose their lives here."

  "How dare you threaten me?" Liu Zhen's old eyes widened, looking like a tiger about to devour someone.

  "If grandfather doesn't believe it, then grandson can only use force, and at that time, grandfather will regret it."

  Liu Yan said after finishing his words, faintly saying to the short and small old man beside him: "Tian Ye, please make your move."

  "Alright, no problem." The short old man didn't even think about Liu Yan's words and directly agreed. Then, a strong sense of pressure emanated from his body. He slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at the three people including Qi Feng, asking Liu Yan: "Liu, which one do you want to kill first?"

  Liu Zhen saw this scene and hastily called out: "Wait!" Liu Yan closed his mouth, which was about to open, and smiled at his grandfather, seemingly waiting for something.

  Liu Zhen saw the eyes of his grandson and sighed slightly: "I'll give it."

  "Your Majesty, no!" cried Qifeng and his two companions in unison.

  "Enough, don't say anything more." Liu Zhen waved his hand to stop his three subordinates. Then he took out a pendant-like object from his neck and directly broke the thin string, handing it over to Liu Yan: "Here, are you satisfied now?"

  Liu Yan received the pendant thrown by his grandfather and smiled slightly: "Please rest assured, Grandfather. Once I unify the four nations, you will understand my intentions. I bid farewell."

  "Get out." After Liu Zhen spat out this word from her mouth, she directly turned her back on Liu Yan.
