Chapter 991: Father and Son Joining Forces

After chatting for most of the previous night, Wei Xu knew more about what happened at Broken North Pass.

He looked at the iron box Su Xiaoxiao handed over and raised his hand to knock it gently. He shook his head and said, “I can’t open it.”

Su Xiaoxiao was disappointed. “Why can’t even Dad open it? Isn’t Dad the descendant of Emperor Wu? Only descendants can open things left behind by Emperor Wu.”

Wei Xu smiled with a stiff face. “Firstly, I’m not sure if I’m a descendant of Emperor Wu. Secondly, only the tomb guardian can open this thing.”

“What?”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

The three brothers were also a little surprised.

Their father had only said two sentences, but there was a lot of information. Wei Liulang asked, “Dad, what’s a tomb guardian?”

Wei Xu tried his best to adapt to the speed of his speech. “I heard it from your grandfather. Back then, Emperor Wu left a relic outside Broken North Pass. To prevent the relic from falling into the hands of an evil person, he handed the key to a trusted aide, also known as the tomb guardian.”

Wei Liulang scratched his head and asked, “Then how did Dad know about the secret room and Emperor Wu’s relics in the Northern Yan Mountain outside Broken North Pass?”

Wei Xu said, “Your grandfather told me. He said that this is a secret passed down from generation to generation of the Wei family, but he didn’t say more. Our Wei family has been guarding the relic of Emperor Wu for generations. As for whether we are his descendants, there’s no evidence to say that we are, nor is there any evidence to say that we aren’t.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the things in her hand. “I think the evidence must be in this iron box.”

It was impossible for the Wei family to guard Emperor Wu’s relic for generations for no reason. The Wei family was definitely related to Emperor wu.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Strange, how did the Saintess and the King of the

Southern Wilderness know all of this?”

Wei Xu recalled, “Your grandfather once told King Nanyang about this. Perhaps he contacted the Southern Wilderness.”

King Nanyang was already dead. There was no way to trace what happened back then.

Wei Ting said, “The most important thing now is to deal with the Saintess and the King of the Southern Wilderness. The rest is not important.”

Whether he was a descendant of Emperor Wu or not did not affect the ambition of the King and the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness. They both wanted Wei Xu. Whether it was Wei Xu’s status as a descendant of Emperor Wu or Wei Xu himself, they were all drooling and determined to capture him.

Wei Xu said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, continue to keep the box. After settling the matter in the Southern Wilderness, I’ll think of a way to find the tomb guardian.”

He didn’t sound like an emperor who wanted to uncover the truth. Instead, he sounded like a parent who wanted to satisfy his children’s curiosity. Su Xiaoxiao hugged the iron box and nodded obediently. “Yes!”

Wei Ting looked at Wei Qing. “Second Brother, you haven’t said anything.”

Wei Qing said, “I’m wondering who captured Father.”

Wei Ting said, “He’s not in the Holy Maiden Temple. He should be beside the King of the Southern Border. We’ll find an opportunity to go to the palace later.”

They had not been able to enter the palace previously, but hadn’t the Great Zhou envoy come recently?

Wei Ting already had a preliminary plan.

Wei Liulang looked at the two brothers. “Hey, hey, hey, didn’t you say that we would deal with the Saintess first? Can we deal with them one by one?”

“Ji! Ji! Ji!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the courtyard. “Oh, Wuhu is back.”

Wuhu had recently been a little spy beside Xie Jinnian. At first, he was locked in a cage. Recently, he was free and flew out for a longer time.

Wuhu was back for bird food.

It sat on its golden eagle carriage. It was very eye-catching.

“Wuhu! Wuhu!”

Xiaohu stretched out his hand.

Wuhu rode the golden eagle and landed on the lawn majestically.

Seeing its little master walk towards it, Wuhu puffed out its chest valiantly.

Xiaohu brought Wuhu down.

He wanted to play with the big bird!

Wuhu, who had suddenly fallen out of favor, was speechless!

The few of them looked at Wuhu in the courtyard and suddenly had an idea.

Wei Ting said, “Actually, it’s simple to sow discord between the King of the

Southern Wilderness and the Saintess. We just need the King of the Southern

Wilderness to have evidence of the Saintess betraying him.”

Wei Liulang asked bitterly, “What evidence can we produce?”

Wei Ting and Wei Qing looked at Wei Xu.

Wei Xu asked, “Why are you looking at me?”

Wei Ting did not step into the pit and let his second brother do it.

Wei Qing smiled helplessly and said, “What the King of the Southern Wilderness wants is a puppet. If the King of the Southern Wilderness finds out that the Saintess didn’t act according to the King’s decree, the trust between them will collanse.”

These words were very obscure.

However, Wei Liulang understood.

He said in realization, “Second Brother, are you trying to say that if the other puppets were cleansed and Father was not cleansed, the King of the Southern Wilderness would be able to guess that the Saintess has ulterior motives for

Father?”

Wei Qing coughed lightly. “You don’t have to be so straightforward.”

Did their father not care about his face?

“Dad needs to appear and make Xie Jinnian believe him.”

As Wei Qing spoke, he pushed the wheelchair over and took out a map. “This is the only way to Bird City. The location is this medical center.”

Wei Liulang patted his chest and said, “Leave this mission to me! I’ll lure Xie

Jinnian over!”

Wei Qing said, “You don’t have to lure Xie Jinnian. You only have to pretend to be an assassin of the Ji family and fight with Dad… Little Seven, you and Little Six are together.”

Wei Ting agreed. “Okay.”

Su Xiaoxiao went to feed Wuhu a bird food.

Wuhu had fallen out of favor.

He was unhappy!

He needed three pieces!

Su Xiaoxiao drew a grand vision for it. “If you lure Xie Jinnian to this medical center, not to mention three, I’ll give you five!”

Wu Hu agreed, “Deal!”

There was nothing major in the palace today, so Xie Jinnian was prepared to rest.

Before sleeping, he looked at his parrot and realized that it was a little listless. It had not eaten the bird food on the plate.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

He touched the parrot.

The little parrot lay on the table, breathing more than not.

Xie Jinnian fed it new bird food, but it still didn’t eat it.

This parrot ran out all day. Xie Jinnian didn’t know if it had eaten something it shouldn’t have outside.

He brought the parrot out of the palace and went to the bird market to find a specialist doctor.

Wei Ting and Wei Liulang were lying in ambush on his path.

As long as Xie Jinnian came out, their plan would be half successful.

Next was to pretend to fight Wei Xu and attract Xie Jinnian’s attention.

If they let Wei Xu suffer some “small injuries” and lie in the medical center, Xie Jinnian would definitely follow him to take a look.

Everything was originally seamless.

Unexpectedly, they had calculated the time of arrival of Xie Jinnian’s carriage, but they had missed Wei Liulang.

According to the plan, Wei Xu would lie in the medical center and the doctor would know if he was a man or a eunuch after taking his pulse.

This was common sense.

Therefore, Wei Qing did not specifically remind him. After all, it was a little embarrassing to say this in front of his father. It was fine as long as everyone understood.

Wei Liulang misunderstood.

It was easy to let Xie Jinnian discover that his father was a man!

The three of them fought in the alley beside the medical center. Xie Jinnian’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.

As Xie Jinnian lifted the curtain, Wei Liulang turned his blade and cut off his father’s belt!

He grabbed the top of his pants and pulled it out!

Tsk!

Wei Xu was speechless!
