Chapter 426

"I thought this kid would have some treasure to counter divine arts!" Fu Shanyue took a small hourglass from his arms, "Heh, he really does!"

Seeing him arrogant, his tail almost reaching the sky, He Lingchuan asked cooperatively: "What is this?"

Fu Shanyue raised his chin at Uncle Da: "You know best, you tell him."

"This is a treasure bestowed by the monarch, 'Inch of Time'." Uncle Da whispered, "Before the sand in the hourglass runs out, it can completely freeze the user's state, that is, insert them into the gap of time, which can ensure that the injury does not continue to deteriorate. But the user will also enter a dormant state, unable to move, unable to open their eyes, and have no consciousness."

According to He Lingchuan's understanding, while this hourglass was running, the user entered a "paused" state.

For him, time seemed to have stopped.

"We originally wanted to use this treasure to... prolong the life of the young master, the Second Young Master, and wait for him to return to the capital before asking the monarch for a way."

"Then why did you kill people to take blood?" Several attendants of the Shi Gate Trading Society were killed.

"We were afraid of accidents, fearing that the effect of 'Inch of Time' might not last until the capital, so we prepared fresh blood for Young Master Ji. In case he woke up early..."

He Lingchuan wondered: "Can the Chiyan monarch deal with divine arts?"

"It's hard to say." Uncle Da thought, "Even if the monarch is helpless, he can seek help from the gods."

He Lingchuan felt a slight jolt in his heart.

Yes, the gods.

At that time, Wen Xing was dying, and Zhong Shengguang immediately transferred General Hong from the front line and requested the god Mitian attached to his body to take action to save him.

He Lingchuan observed his expression and tone, as if Wen Xing could still be saved. However, his father Wen Daolun finally chose to give up, probably because the price was too high.

The Chiyan monarch certainly didn't have his concerns, so it was reasonable to ask the gods to take action to save Fu Shanji.

The success rate might not be low.

It's a pity that Fu Shanji couldn't escape from his brother's hands a second time, handing over a life in this wild mountain and wilderness, and handing over the throne.

Power struggles are mostly like this; he took action first but wasn't ruthless enough, and finally encountered Fu Shanyue's counter-kill.

"Alright, the big thing is done, go back and drink." Fu Shanyue put "Inch of Time" into his pocket and said to Uncle Da, "Go, what are you still standing there for?"

Uncle Da had to get up and follow him back to the camp.

At this time, the camp was already tense.

No matter how slow the Shi Gate caravan was, it was impossible to be kept in the dark after their own people were killed one after another.

The team was filled with righteous indignation, clamoring to seek justice.

But because Fu Shanyue came back once, killed two Chiyan people, and left suddenly, so including Second Master Shi, no one knew what the situation was now.

The situation was deadlocked for a while.

The two men and one tiger returned to the camp, immediately causing a commotion.

These two sides were originally fighting to the death, but now why were they suddenly colluding?

You changed your faces so quickly, but how were the subordinates supposed to handle themselves? Just in the eerily quiet atmosphere, He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue returned to their respective camps.

The first sentence Uncle Da said was: "The Second Young Master is dead, and now we follow the lead of the First Young Master."

All the Chiyan people lowered their heads together.

The sky is about to change.

Even if the news reached the Chiyan Nation and triggered the monarch's rage, the iron-clad fact had already been cast. No matter how angry the monarch was, could he kill the only bloodline left?

Then what about the throne, who would inherit it?

Now they were under Fu Shanyue's command, so all the belongings, including that carriage, naturally belonged to Fu Shanyue.

He grabbed Fu Shanji's body and was about to throw it away, but all his subordinates looked up at him, their eyes indescribable.

After all, a quarter of an hour ago, the two sides were still enemies. Uncle Da led them to attack Fu Shanyue, and Fu Shanyue's hands were also stained with the blood of their companions.

Although he was already the "Young Master" of all Chiyan people, it didn't mean they would have no grudges.

So Fu Shanyue thought about it and handed Fu Shanji's body and head to Uncle Da, saying warmly: "You keep it well, and hand it over to the father king when you go back."

Uncle Da took it silently and put it into his storage fang.

Fu Shanyue beckoned to gather everyone, looking at them one by one.

His eyes were sharp like an eagle, looking until the guards lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him, and the owl on the tree branch shrank like a plague chicken, only then did he cough lightly: "Some of you have stained your blades with my blood!"

As soon as this was said, the expressions of the guards became uneasy.

Is it starting, settling scores after the autumn?

Fortunately, Fu Shanyue continued: "However, I have also killed many people, and the mastermind was my second brother Fu Shanji, who has already been punished. In the end, this is my family matter and has nothing to do with you. This bad debt is written off from now on; no one should mention it again, how about that?"

Since he said so, the guards responded "Yes" one after another, their expressions relaxing a lot.

The awkward atmosphere also eased.

He Lingchuan watched from the opposite side and could see that Fu Shanyue's reputation in the past should be quite good, otherwise, how could the Chiyan Nation's guards take his understated "written off" seriously? "Alright, do what you have to do, and don't harass the caravan opposite, dismiss!"

The guards dispersed, and Fu Shanyue came to the caravan here.

Just when the two sides were confronting each other, the illusion of Thousand Star City slowly disappeared, just as abruptly as it appeared.

After He Lingchuan returned, he told everyone about the incident in a few words. Second Master Shi was shocked to hear that the Chiyan people killed his own men, but when he heard that Fu Shanyue had regained power and could restrain Fu Shanji's subordinates, he let out a long sigh of relief.

This trip was truly not peaceful.

Seeing Fu Shanyue walk over, Second Master Shi had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master Fu, you have truly given me a difficult problem!"

Four or five people died in the caravan, all killed by Chiyan people. But Fu Shanyue turned into the boss of the Chiyan people in the blink of an eye; now how should this debt be calculated? The caravan members looked at Fu Shanyue with eyes full of anger.

Fu Shanyue also knew that this problem could not be avoided, so he said solemnly: "Now they are my subordinates, and the mistakes they made are my mistakes. What do you want?"

Several attendants shouted: "A life for a life!"

"Yes, our brothers cannot die in vain!"

"A life for a life is impossible. Also, remind you, this team is about to enter Chiyan territory." Fu Shanyue pointed his thumb at himself, "I'll give you two plans. First, both sides send people to duel, settle grudges, eye for an eye. How the cubs behind me killed your people, you can kill them back, but you have to do it yourself; second, I am willing to compensate the brothers of the trading society who died, including everyone present, and everyone will receive fifty taels of silver as shock money. You choose one of these two plans."

As soon as the words fell, many people in the caravan cast their eyes directly at He Lingchuan.

If this Young Master He were to fight, he would surely kill many of the other side. If both plans could be realized, that would be killing the people and taking the money.

However, Young Master He was not a member of the caravan, but a client, a guest.

How could they let a guest go up and fight for his life?

So everyone could only YY in their hearts, and then make an adult's choice.

Second Master Shi discussed with the caravan for a while before returning to find Fu Shanyue: "If we choose the second plan, how much compensation can the brothers who died unjustly receive?"

Fu Shanyue said a number.

A number that would be moved even if the families of the deceased were here.

Second Master Shi was silent, and then asked: "Then, what about the shock money for others, cough..."

So this was the point. Fu Shanyue understood: "Eighty taels each."

Second Master Shi looked solemn: "This kind of thing must not happen again."

"Of course!" Fu Shanyue knew the matter was settled, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was the Crown Prince, and things that could be solved with money weren't really things, "Keep these money in mind, and I will give it to you when I return to the Chiyan Nation. Besides, Second Master Shi is a shrewd person and also a cooperative partner that the Chiyan Nation likes."

Second Master Shi curled his lips, but it was inappropriate to laugh at this time, so he changed it to a light cough: "Looking forward to cooperation, looking forward to cooperation."

Then he found someone to collect the bodies for the few attendants who died unjustly.

In fact, he understood that Fu Shanyue was willing to compensate because he was looking at He Lingchuan's face.

And He Lingchuan also saw it clearly; the reason why the matter was solved like this in the end was only one of the reasons why Fu Shanyue used money to express condolences and sincerity.

The dead are gone, and the living may not be willing to fight for them again.

Everyone has a family behind them, and everyone has their own small accounts to calculate. Of course, the most important thing is that Fu Shanyue is likely to be the future monarch; how could a merchant make an enemy of the Crown Prince?

He looked at Fu Shanyue; this guy's recklessness should also be a protective color, and his grasp of human nature inside was not small at all.

"Hey, come and see Peach." He called Fu Shanyue.

Peach was in a coma.

Actually, he used the eyeball spider's vision to see the whole process of Fu Shanyue beheading his own brother.

Fu Shanyue sneaked back and attacked the four guards who stayed behind, who of course had to fight back. The eldest son Fu couldn't use one arm, and although he killed one instantly, he was still at a disadvantage in numbers.

At this time, Peach, who was sweating profusely, climbed up and pointed at the four guards and screamed: "Go bite them!"

Adults fighting, no one took a child's scream seriously, at most thinking it was delirium from a high fever.

Where did more than a dozen small snakes crawl out of the stone cracks nearby and bite the back of the Chiyan people's feet.

Two people were indeed bitten by mistake, shaking their legs subconsciously, and another was punched in the chest by Fu Shanyue while picking the snake away, vomiting blood and flying backward.

Later, it was much easier for Fu Shanyue to deal with the two, which need not be detailed.

By the time he entered the carriage and beheaded his second brother, the other Chiyan people rushed back, but the situation was gone.

Peach made a contribution to disturbing the enemy, but she herself fell down and had been in a coma ever since.

Fu Shanyue pressed her pulse and checked her body with Qi before saying: "She absorbed too much baleful Qi and didn't know how to refuse, and just now she released it all at once; now her physical functions are a bit chaotic."
