Martial Boss Chapter 537

Inside the restaurant compartment, a group of delusional and disaffected men shouted slogans and raised their gla*ses in unison to toast the coming victory.

Little did they know that the so-called grand plan had long been mapped out, and that the gathering, which they thought to be secretive, had fallen completely into the eyes of some who had come to follow the Emperor’s will.

Time thus pa*sed for more than a month.

In the course of that month, the discontented ran around, wanting the sky to change again in the Northern Zhou. As the one being rebelled against, Feng Jiuyu did not make a single move, just sitting indifferently and watching these people stirring up the storm.

During this month or so, there was also a slight hiccup.

The giant statue in the sky would occasionally make some strange movements at night. It was as if there were ghosts walking around, and the statue, which should have been empty at night, was making strange noises everywhere. It was as if the statue was stretching its muscles and bones, with scrapes and crunching sounds coming from all over its body from time to time.

This little hiccup sent chills down the spines of some of the vigilants and gave those who had a mind to do so an additional reason to give the statue the name of an evil spirit.

And so, with everyone waiting eagerly, the time came towards the middle of November. On the thirteenth day of the eleventh month, the statue was finally completed.

And on the fifteenth day of the eleventh month, the Emperor of the Northern Zhou, Feng Jiuyu, would lead all the officials to the scene, and Daoist Daoist Qing Yu of the Qintian Supervisor would preside over the puja ceremony, using the giant statue of Tongtian as a base to suppress the dragon veins of the Northern Zhou so that they would not be lost.

On the night of the 14th, a low-profile carriage drove quietly into the Shanhe Academy.

The man in the carriage was guided by a dark-faced Mr. Wu Qu to the Lookout Mountain Building, not far from the top of Datong Mountain.

“Go in.” The black-faced Wu Qu said stiffly.

“Thank you, sir.” Feng Jiuyu nodded slightly and walked into the Watch Hill Building.

Inside, there was someone waiting for him, Feng Jiuwu’s only remaining brother, now the Eighth Prince, Feng Qiuwu.

“You’re looking for me?” Feng Jiuyu asked to this brother whom he had not seen again after ascending the throne.

On Feng Qiwu’s face, there was an incomprehensible tiredness and sullenness, but he still had a warm smile on his face when he saw Feng Jiuyu.

“Yes, I’m looking for you, Ninth Brother.”

After all, Feng Jiuyu was now the emperor of Northern Zhou, and Feng Qiwu was already overstepping his bounds by addressing him in this way.

However, Feng Jiwu was not angry, because he knew that Feng Qiwu was not trying to overpower him as a brother, but only to show that he still cared about this brotherhood.

Therefore, he only said indifferently: “Oh? You still think of me as a brother? Do you know that if it were not for me, you would be sitting on the dragon chair today? Qing Wei would not have married me, and you would not have been hiding in the academy, unable to even enter the palace.”

“I only know that without you, I and my other brothers and my little sister would have died on Mount Fenglai. I also know that Qing Wei’s marriage to you was her choice and that of the Si family, so even if I love her, I cannot interfere with her decision.” Feng Qiwu fondled the string of bracelets in his hand and smiled bitterly.

“This bracelet,” Feng Qiwu handed it out, “is the one I gave to Qing Wei at the beginning. A month ago, she sent someone to send this bracelet back. From then on, I knew that the fate between us was completely broken.”

“I know,” Feng Jiuyu took the bracelet, “I know all of Qing Wei’s actions. Especially since some people have been trying to plot mischief recently, I have been doubly careful. This bracelet has also pa*sed through my hands before being given to you.”

“You know?” Feng Qiwu’s eyes widened in shock, “If that’s the case, why didn’t you stop it?”

After all, his wife was having dealings with other people, and there was even a token of affection, with the emperor’s exclusive character, he should not have tolerated it at all.

“Why should I stop it?” Feng Jiuyu asked rhetorically.

“Qing Wei’s person, is mine. Now, Qing Wei’s heart, too, is mine. This bracelet, is the last connection between you and her, destroying it, on the contrary, will once again facilitate the connection between the two of you, such a foolish thing, only those fools who are obsessed by jealousy would do it.”

Feng Jiuyu’s voice contained reason and indifference, as if the bracelet did not touch his heart and soul. This indifference and rationality made Feng Qiwu take a fresh look at this brother, who was now the emperor.

Feng Jiwu’s past was very clear to Feng Qiwu. Feng Qiwu had always been quietly concerned about his brother, who had been weak since childhood.

In the past, Feng Jiu was sensitive, overly prideful, and somewhat impulsive and cynical. Nowadays, Feng Qiwu can hardly find any trace of the past in Feng Jiuyu.

Cold, sensible, powerful, almost the complete opposite of what she used to be. Feng Qiwu was somewhat disgusted by this seemingly emotionless state, but was also relieved in his heart.

If this was the Feng Jiuwu, he should be able to deal with Si Qingwei and his own past in a sensible manner. In that case, Feng Qiwu felt that he could be completely at ease.

“Don’t you hate her?” Feng Jiuyu asked suddenly as he gently held the bracelet in his hand.

“Me?” Feng Qiwu faintly stared, and slowly shook his head again, “I don’t hate. This is Qing Wei’s choice, and I will only wish her well. Besides, she’s doing well now, and little sister and I said that she has a child.”

Feng Qiwu said, a happy smile on his face.

“——”

Feng Jiuyu suddenly frowned slightly, he felt a sudden light on Feng Qiwu, a dazzling but not blinding light.

“There is also the recent period of time, some people like to secretly against you. I don’t know what the inside story is, but you must be careful.” Feng Qiwu reminded.

Those people also knew Feng Qiwu’s nature, so they only faintly revealed their mouth to Feng Qiwu and did not reveal the whole plan. Feng Qiwu also only knew that they wanted to do harm to Feng Jiuyu.

Tomorrow is an excellent opportunity to do so. It was for this reason that Feng Qiwu had someone inform Feng Jiuyu to come today.

Faintly clenching the bracelet in his hand, Feng Jiuyu said, “I am very pleased that you think so, it means that I don’t need to make a move against my only brother.”

Blazing flames suddenly emerged from the heart of his hand, turning the bracelet into a puddle of iron, “Also, I am quite happy that you can hand the bracelet over to me.”

“As a reward, I will spare your mother’s life.” After saying that, Feng Jiuyu was about to turn around and leave.

“Spare the mother? Wait ——,” Feng Qiwu hastily called out to the emperor who was about to leave, “Mother was also involved in this matter?”

“More than involved,” Feng Jiwu sneered, “the action to make the Empress miscarry will be done precisely by your mother.”

“Mother — how is this possible ——,” Feng Qiwu stumbled, incredulous.

“Don’t worry, I said I would spare your mother’s life, after all, she is now also the empress dowager of this dynasty. But others, well, not so much ——”

Feng Jiuwu finished speaking and left the Wang Shan Building straight away.
