Chapter 1174: West Duke’s Real Colors

Jun Xiqing stretched her hand out, plucking one of the rosary peas . She suddenly had this crazy idea, was he actually fond of another woman?

Clenching the pea in her hand tightly, Jun Xiqing stepped out of the secret passageway . At the end of the passageway was a place of high altitude . Jun Xiqing walked outside, the cold wind blowing her beautiful face .

She could actually see the entire of Country A standing at that place .

Standing there, almost every part of Country A was so small and insignificant . She felt as though Country A was trampled under her feet .

She could imagine the amount of ambition and greed in Lu Yeming when he stood there . He was really born to be a ruler .

Lifting her eyes, she saw a palace far away . “Ah Da, what is that?”

She pointed at it .

“Master, although the power has been distributed to the four dukes in Country A, there is still an old palace with a king living inside . Although the four dukes have been working hard to increase their sphere of influence, they have never once tried to barge inside the Palace and take over the King .

“It is said that this King is the real power-wielding ruler of Country A . He has a pair of deep-set eyes that could look through everyone’s ambitions even in the dark, making one feel like they have nowhere to hide . ”

Jun Xiqing smiled .

She was an atheist who would never believe in such stuff .

“Master, let’s hurry up and leave Country A . The Wuling Iron Steed Troop are already waiting at the pier,” Ah Da said .

Jun Xiqing was a little disappointed . She had been in contact with West Duke, Lu Yeming for quite some time and yet she hadn’t been able to see even one side of his true self . But today, passing through this secret passageway, she somehow felt that she had been able to understand him a bit more .

In Country A, a place with such strong power rivalry, there was still an old, mysterious palace standing . That really was eerie .

Now that Country Z had been taken away by Lei Ze and the Jun family had turned into fugitives, she really was powerless by herself . If she were to be dragged into a battle of power rivalry, she could only be a pawn in this game and couldn’t do anything about it .

“Ah Da,” Jun Xiqing suddenly spoke .

“Master, what’s the matter?”

Jun Xiqing answered, “I have an ominous feeling somehow . I could feel from the very first moment when I stepped into Country A that I wouldn’t be able to leave this place . Put my elder brother down, I’ll go separately from him . ”

“Master, what do you mean?”

Jun Xiqing’s eyes gleamed . “I’m going to leave my elder brother in a safe place . ”

Then her voice became gentle as she said, “I’ll always have a way of keeping my family safe and united in this chaotic world . ”

…

West Palace .

Lu Yeming rushed back with Fan Men and when Fan Men saw the fainted maids, his expression changed . “Master . ”

Lu Yeming ran upstairs .

Arriving in front of the door, Fan Men wanted to follow him in but Lu Yeming signalled for him to stop . Fan Men quickly stepped aside and Lu Yeming strode inside .

The door to the secret room was open .

Lu Yeming’s face was somber, stepping inside the secret room .

It was really quiet inside when he stepped inside his footsteps could be heard so clearly . Scanning around with his deep-set eyes, Jun Chulin had indeed gone missing .

But he wasn’t concerned about that, not even raising a brow at his disappearance . With quickened footsteps, he walked over to the rows of red peas .

Looking at the red peas that were all well, only then did he relax a little .

But a stalk of the red pea had loosened soil .

Bending over, he pressed the soil down lightly and when he lowered his eyes to do that, he was concentrated and ever so gentle…

…

At the harbor .

Jun Xiqing and Ah Da stood at the pier, the 12 officers of the Wuling Iron Steed Troop followed behind them .

The night breeze blew around, Ah Da asked an officer, “Where’s Ah Xiao, why isn’t she here yet? She’s constantly being a burden at such important times . ”

“Brother . ” Ah Xiao ran over .

“Ah Xiao, why are you so late?” Ah Da questioned her with a stern tone .

“Brother, I had a stomach ache so I was a little late, don’t be so fierce . ” Ah Xiao pulled on Ah Da’s sleeves as she said .

“Ah Da, let’s just quickly leave this place first . ” Jun Xiqing turned back to check behind, it was pitch dark and somewhat creepy .

She could sense something… amiss .

“Master, this way,” Ah Da said .

Jun Xiqing walked in front .

But just after taking a step, she heard something . It was the sound of a sharp knife stabbing inside human flesh, it was soft but really clear, making one have goosebumps just hearing it .

Jun Xiqing turned back to check, only to see a knife in Ah Da’s chest . The knife was stabbed inside from the back, piercing through his heart .

The person holding the knife was… Ah Xiao .

Ah Da turned around, looking at Ah Xiao in disbelief . “Ah Xiao, you…”

Ah Xiao no longer appeared like her old, innocent self, her entire face vicious as she said, “Brother, you should be glad that at least you had a meaningful death . I’ll become West Duke’s consort soon . ”

Ah Da spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed .

“Ah Da!”

Jun Xiqing screamed, quickly catching Ah Da . She applied some pressure on Ah Da’s chest, with the blood staining her hands and burning her skin .

Ah Da looked at Jun Xiqing . Though he wanted to speak, before he could even say anything, he no longer had any breath left in him .

Even upon his death, Ah Da’s eyes remained open .

Tears sprang from Jun Xiqing’s eyes . Ah Da had been with her for many years and was one of her closest friends .

“Ahhh!”

She hugged Ah Da while she whimpered, her hands filled with blood as she held him tightly . She slowly lifted her eyes and glared at Ah Xiao .

“He’s your biological elder brother, how could you!”

Ah Xiao sneered at her . “He is my biological elder brother, but he’s just your lackey!”

A few beams of light shone over and a few bulletproof cars approached . The car in the front-most position stopped and Fan Men opened the back door . A pair of heavy military boots first appeared, followed by a pair of long legs and a cropped jacket with a black turtleneck sweater . A handsome face appeared last .

Lu Yeming had arrived .

His handsome face was emotionless, except for those deep-set eyes that were just as sharp and piercing as an eagle . He lifted his head, his gaze landing on her tear-filled face .

Jun Xiqing’s heart sank . This was her first time seeing the true colors of this man . He was just like Satan who came out from the darkest pits of hell .

Dignified, haughty and ruthless .
