Free Web NovelChapter 1110: Chapter 334 Oath (Extra for 8000 Monthly Tickets)_4
But within the entire Maple Forest City Region, apart from Dong Ah, there was no other living person, no other evidence.
Only what Dong Ah said was accepted as truth. frёewebηovel.cѳm
So, if Jiang Wang was still alive, why hadn’t he come to find him?
Why had he run off to Eastern Domain Qi Country?
The answer to this question was actually not hard to guess.
Duan Li continued, "During the national war last year, Dong Ah was stabbed to death on the streets of Xin’an. The person who killed him left behind a piece of jade. It was the jade that Dong Ah used to carry with him. No one else knew whose jade it was, but I think you should know."
Yes. Du Yehu certainly knew.
Jiang Wang had boasted more than once in the letters he sent him, talking about how much the dean valued him, how exceptional his own talents were, and how he would look after his brothers in the future, and so on.
Although he hadn’t managed to see for himself what that ostentatious Yu Jue actually looked like, it’s likely there was nothing else that could link to Dong Ah.
The alcohol in Du Yehu’s bloodstream had all sobered up.
But inside his heart, a fire was burning.
Those drinks all poured onto that fire.
Intense, painful... furious.
"So, the destruction of Maple Forest City was a conspiracy, connected to Dong Ah, and also related to the Emperor’s conspiracy. That’s why my youngest brother ran off alone to Eastern Domain Qi Country to seek revenge. That’s why he refused to contact me, fearing I might impulsively spoil his plan?"
As Du Yehu spoke, he gritted his teeth, speaking while trying to rise.
Duan Li pressed him down fiercely, his tone severe, "Have you forgotten the oath you took???"
Du Yehu was stunned.
His youngest brother was alive... his youngest brother was alive and seeking revenge on his own.
But his eldest and fifth brothers were no longer here...
He had just sworn a poisonous oath over their peaceful rest after death.
He sat there blankly, lowering his head.
His full beard probably did a great job of concealing his emotions.
His calloused hands covered his face.
Veins bulging on the backs of his hands, his body trembling, but he made no sound.
Duan Li also remained silent for a long time, then patted his shoulder and said, "Dong Ah once entrusted me with a task. He said if the secret of Maple Forest City ever came out, I should kill you. Now, with Jiang Wang appearing at the Yellow River Gathering, this secret can’t be hidden anymore. At least not from you. With Du Ruhui’s capabilities, he must have already obliterated all clues. The whole world might not believe Jiang Wang, but I think, you definitely will believe him."
Du Yehu slowly calmed down.
But he still didn’t look up.
His voice, filled with hatred, squeezed through his fingers, "What exactly happened... those hundreds of thousands of people, my brothers... Maple Forest City, what exactly happened?"
"Bone Tao intended to use hundreds of thousands of people from Maple Forest City Region to refine Bone True Dan, and the Court had known the clues long ago. Zhuang Gaoxian had been hiding in the palace healing from injuries, Zhuang Country had shown weakness for many years, he needed that Bone True Dan to recover and break through Dongzhen. Thus, including Du Ruhui, Huangfu Duanming, and Dong Ah, they all condoned the tragedy to occur. That’s what happened," Duan Li said.
Du Yehu removed his hands, raising his head.
Duan Li saw his eyes full of bloodshot, looking bloodred.
"I am going to kill them," Du Yehu said through gritted teeth, "Old Duan, I have to kill them. I want to slice every single one of those involved, piece by piece!"
"But you can’t kill them. You can’t kill anyone," Duan Li said calmly yet cruelly.
Du Yehu’s whole body shook with extreme hatred, "Even if I die, I will bite off their flesh..."
"Even if you die, you can’t even hurt a single hair on their bodies," Duan Li interrupted him.
"You need to live, Old Tiger, you promised me, you need to live," Duan Li said.
This once formidable, nowcrippled Jiucheng Commander sighed, "The person who sent the message to me probably hoped you could escape from here. But you can’t escape anymore."
He said, "You can’t escape anymore, Du Yehu."
"One escaped, Jiang Wang, and another, Zhu Weiwo, Zhuang Gaoxian, such a mean and ungrateful person, won’t let you escape again. It’s too far from here to Qi Country, you can’t escape."
"There is only one way."
He slowly lowered his head and hugged Du Yehu, like a father hugging his son.
Their heads rested against each other.
"There is only one way..." Duan Li slowly said.
This room, which had been so noisy and turbulent all day, this room that had dismissed all attendants and left only two men to drink.
This blazing, torturous, emotion-filled room.
It seemed to finally quiet down at that moment.
After a long time...
"What bullshit way!" Du Yehu suddenly burst out in agony.
But immediately, his voice was suppressed by Duan Li’s even harsher tone, "Think about the oath you made!"
