Chapter 469 The Road to Revenge is Full of Stumbling Blocks (3)
Xia Zhongbai no longer regarded the person in front of him as a child, but as his savior.
He clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for saving my life. I wonder how I should address you from now on?"
"Just call me Xi'er as before. There are some things that only you, me, and heaven and earth know. You must not tell anyone else," Su Dingding instructed.
Xia Zhongbai nodded.
He won't tell anyone, and even if he did, probably no one would believe him.
Even he himself felt as if he had been reborn.
This time, he will not be fooled by Song Lianhua's apparent weakness.
A place like Evil King Valley should not exist in this world; he wants to make it disappear completely.
"Uncle Xia, then it's time to say goodbye." Su Dingding said goodbye to him.
"Xi'er, take good care of yourself." Xia Zhongbai knew his words were superfluous, but he still wanted to say a few words of advice.
After Su Dingding left, Xia Zhongbai also packed his things and left the room.
He wasn't shocked to see the mess downstairs; he had already guessed it.
The people from the Eastern Depot had already left, and the inn was empty.
No one dared to linger here, for fear of inviting disaster.
Xia Zhongbai stepped out of the inn, his steps stained with blood, and began his journey.
Su Dingding rented a luxurious carriage and slowly made his way to the capital.
She wasn't in a hurry. Presumably, many people wanted her dead along the way, and she could simply sit back and reap the benefits.
Gangzi transformed into a driver, reporting on the current situation while driving the cart.
The reason why Wei Dongxi's father was hunted down was because he accidentally learned an important secret about the crown prince on his way back to his hometown.
The Crown Prince was not the Emperor's biological son, but rather the child born from a secret rendezvous between the Empress and her cousin, her lover from her youth. Almost everyone who knew about this was killed by the Empress and her cousin. However, a guard happened to overhear the story and, while drunk outside the palace, revealed it to the public.
The Second Prince's men heard rumors and launched an investigation. Although the guard was also killed, they still managed to find some clues.
The assassin who was ultimately sent back to the capital was seriously injured but handed the evidence over to Wei Dongxi. As a result, Wei Dongxi's entire family was killed and the evidence disappeared without a trace.
Not long after, the second prince was framed by the crown prince, and the emperor imprisoned him in his fiefdom. Less than a month later, the emperor died, and the crown prince ascended the throne.
In other words, the former crown prince is now the emperor.
During his four-year reign, he almost wiped out all his brothers with his ruthlessness, making him a true tyrant.
In order to eliminate the remaining evildoers, the Eastern Depot was established, plunging the entire country into fear. After all, regardless of whether you were guilty or not, if the Eastern Depot said you were guilty, then you were guilty.
Hunting down Wei Dongxi was the Eastern Depot's top priority.
As the saying goes, "cut the weeds and remove the roots to prevent future troubles."
As for killing a few innocent people, they can only blame their bad luck.
Su Dingding sat in the carriage eating fruit, and couldn't help but frown.
Why is it that tyrants are the ones who ultimately win the throne?
"Maybe it's because they're ruthless enough," Gangzi replied.
"So, apart from him, all the royal offspring are dead?" Su Dingding asked again.
Gangzi checked the information and replied regretfully, "Yes, he killed everyone he had no connection with."
The second prince suffered the most tragic death.
Su Dingding popped a grape into her mouth and gently tapped her thigh with her fingers.
Killing this tyrant is easy, but a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, otherwise not only will the whole country fall into chaos, but other countries will also take advantage of the situation.
"Gangzi..."
[There are no babies to raise, and the tyrant has no offspring unless he is reborn.] Gangzi guessed what Su Dingding wanted to say.
Su Dingding was speechless. How annoying, these damned tyrants!
Forget it, let's wait until we get to Beijing and meet the person before we talk about it.
Bloodline isn't something she can decide; if all else fails, she can just grab anyone and put them on the throne.
"Gangzi, have you found the boy who saved the original owner in your past life?" Su Dingding asked again.
"Host, according to the timeline, we'll have a chance to meet him in a few days!" Gangzi replied.
Although Su Dingding and his team changed some of the storylines, some of the original plot elements remained unchanged.
The boy would still pass by the river that day, though this time he wasn't on a mission to rescue anyone.
Su Dingding clapped his hands. "In that case, let's overlap the storylines and give him another chance to be a hero."
Gangzi was taken aback, but quickly understood what Su Dingding meant.
That's true. It always feels a bit strange to suddenly offer someone candied hawthorns out of the blue, but if it's because they saved your life, then offering them candied hawthorns is perfectly natural.
Over the course of several days, waves of people came to hunt down Su Dingding.
Su Dingding held a pair of chopsticks and pierced the eyes of all the assassins and lackeys from the Eastern Depot.
They were given a new look, which is considered a unique feature of the Eastern Depot.
Finally, she arrived at the riverbank where she and the boy had first met.
Su Dingding deliberately stopped the carriage and sat down by the river to rest, and sure enough, he was attacked again.
This time, her pursuers dared not approach easily. They all held their swords and struck various poses, changing their steps back and forth at a distance from her.
"Haven't you found a suitable attacking stance yet?" Su Dingding was getting a little impatient.
Seeing the pair of chopsticks in her hand, the masked men in black were filled with fear.
It must hurt a lot to stick that thing in your eye, I’m terrified just thinking about it, who would dare to do it?
Just then, Su Dingding heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
The person she was waiting for has arrived!
Su Dingding casually stuck a bunch of chopsticks into her head, then plopped down on the ground and started crying loudly, "Please, please let me go! I'm just a helpless little baby..."
The masked men in black were all bewildered. What was going on?
"Waaaaah, I'm so skinny, a strong wind could blow me away. There are so many of you, why are you making things difficult for me? I'm so scared..."
Su Dingding suddenly clutched her foot again and yelled, "My foot, it's cramping, it hurts so much, ahhh..."
These guys are such cowards! Why aren't they attacking yet?!
Gangzi, in his spider form, had no choice but to kick one of the masked men in black in the buttocks.
The man roared and charged forward, and the others pretended to follow suit and rushed forward as well.
"Help!" Su Dingding cried out helplessly, clinging to her small, frail body.
She squinted at a white horse galloping towards her.
A dashing young man in white robes leaped across the sky on horseback, his eyebrows sharp and his eyes bright, exuding a heroic and spirited air.
Su Dingding rolled away, dodging a knife slashed at him by a masked man in black, and ran towards the boy in white.
The white-clad youth threw eight throwing knives with both hands, and eight masked men in black were hit by the knives and fell to the ground.
Ok?
so smart?
The young man in white was shocked by his own actions.
Only Su Dingding noticed the large spider that had kept its merits hidden and secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This young man seems impressive, but he's actually quite incompetent.
None of the eight throwing knives hit the target. Luckily, Gangzi had many legs and was quick enough to avoid being overwhelmed!
