Chapter 1032 The winner and the loser
Liang Chongyue ignored the system's self-congratulatory attitude; she could keep Liang Chongzhen under her watchful eye and support him indefinitely.
Once these kinds of people are released, they'll get a whiff of freedom and become completely uncontrollable.
They should be kept in captivity forever.
"Inform me immediately when there are results from the Heavenly Dao side."
Liang Chongyue didn't rush down; there was still an hour before the "snake-drawing" potion would wear off.
It was around the same time that Liang Chongzhen woke up.
Liang Chongyue lay on the bed for a short rest, waiting for the time to pass.
He went straight to the dungeon as soon as he left the house.
"They haven't come back yet?"
Liang Chongyue glanced around and found that there weren't many people left in the inn.
"They are still clearing the remaining wreckage on the battlefield, while the fighting on Minglang's side has just ended."
Liang Chongyue looked up at the sky, which was pitch black, with a few snowflakes falling.
"How come they've been fighting this long at such a slow pace?"
She hadn't failed to check how many assassins were on Minglang's side, based on the number of troops Qin Xiaosi had brought.
It should have ended a long time ago.
"It's not slow at all; this is already considered fast."
"It's only because you, host, knew about Liang Chongzhen beforehand; otherwise, the battle wouldn't be over yet."
Liang Chongyue thought about it for a moment and calculated the time again, which was not much different from what the system had said.
"Alright, keep an eye on things for me. It's about time to bring the Empress Dowager out."
The system looked up at the time, then at the still-unfinished battlefield.
"I'm afraid it's not possible right now. The fighting inside the palace is progressing slower than you think, host."
Liang Chongyue looked up, switched away from the system's page, and turned to its perspective.
The fighting was raging in the palace.
All sorts of swords and spears were used, and the scenes of blood gushing out were so intense that they made one's throat itch and feel like vomiting.
"If you can't handle it, go up and take care of a few. Don't keep the Empress Dowager waiting. Be careful not to get any blood on you."
The system thought the host's words were simply a fantasy.
The host kills without shedding blood, and it has no hands to pick up weapons, so how does it manage to kill without shedding blood?
It's just a puppy, what more does the host want from it?
The system's mind was filled with the host's words. After the host fell silent, it looked down at the battlefield and glanced at its own paws.
It's not entirely impossible, it's just a bit difficult.
Ignoring what the system was thinking, Liang Chongyue went down into the dungeon.
A few small snakes remained in the dungeon, licking the now-cleaned "snake-drawing" potion.
Liang Chongyue stepped forward and kicked the snakes away.
The little snakes were attacked and immediately scattered and fled.
Liang Chongyue stood in the middle of the cell, without moving forward.
She could only watch as Liang Chongzhen was bound by her.
"How long are you going to keep up this act? I did it myself, do you think I don't know when you'll wake up?"
In one sentence, Liang Chongzhen's pretense was exposed.
Ab looked up, and any movement he made would cause the chains around his body to rattle.
The once silent dungeon was finally filled with some louder sounds.
"I'm already a useless person, what more do you want from me?"
That's a classic case of turning the tables, exactly the style of Liang Chongzhen.
"What do I want from you? Did Third Brother lose his mind from the fall, or was he beaten senseless by me? It's you who has angered me."
Liang Chongyue casually pulled over a chair and sat down opposite Liang Chongzhen.
When I started to review the situation in front of him, he revealed those flaws.
"Killing this body's entire family and then pretending to be an orphan to approach Qingyu Pavilion, Third Brother, you really have a good method and a good mind."
Liang Chongyue sighed deeply, as if he was truly shocked by his terrifying experience.
"You refuse to learn anything else, but insist on learning the soft sword. At first, I didn't understand why you were so fond of the soft sword."
At this point, Liang Chongyue suddenly paused.
"Host, tell me quickly, why is he so fond of soft knives?"
The dog spoke before Liang Chongzhen; it's always there for these kinds of gossip.
"Because your maternal family possessed a long-lost secret manual, which you found through the system. You've been diligently studying and practicing ever since, but what good has it done? You're still bound here by me now."
Liang Chongyue couldn't help but sneer.
"You think you can defeat me with just one secret manual?"
Liang Chongyue leaned back lazily in his chair, staring at Liang Chongzhen with disdain in his eyes.
"Idiot's dream."
The system hadn't even discovered that Liang Chongzhen's maternal family possessed a long-lost, unique manual for using soft knives, and it didn't even know when the host had discovered it.
However, it's not appropriate for it to directly ask the host at this time, otherwise it would seem too unprofessional.
After the host returned to the palace, it secretly asked in private.
"You know everything, yet you still handcuff me here just to mock me?"
Liang Chongyue took out a branding iron that had not yet been engraved from the system's inventory.
When it was first taken out, it was just a whole piece of black iron.
As Liang Chongyue's thoughts stirred, changes began to appear on the black iron.
"Third brother, do you think this word would look good if it were carved on your face?"
Liang Chongyue raised the branding iron and aimed it at Liang Chongzhen.
However, this branding iron has not yet been fired; it is still just a piece of black iron.
"The character '奋' (fèn) in '勤勤' (qínqín, meaning diligence) has such a wonderful meaning. Third brother has worked hard all these years."
Although Liang Chongyue had never trained in Qingyu Pavilion, she had seen the training sessions there.
Is it really that hard? She doesn't think so.
After Liang Chongzhen was reborn, he took Han Qi's body and probably suffered a lot in the Qingyu Pavilion over the years.
But all these years she's been trying to stand out in front of her scumbag father and win his attention.
Compared to everything she had done to beat her brothers, it was nothing.
Liang Chongzhen has only suffered for a little over a decade since he entered Qingyu Pavilion in this body.
She, however, knew from birth what she wanted, what she was burdened with, and what she had to strive for.
The coldest time in the North, when the snow is almost burying people.
Her third brother is living a good life under the protection of his scumbag father.
Her scumbag father even wanted to use her as a practice subject for Liang Chongzhen.
“My father originally intended me to be the crown prince, but it was you who usurped my position.”
As Liang Chongzhen said this, Liang Chongyue threw the branding iron directly into the burning brazier next to him.
The firewood in the brazier instantly crackled and popped.
She seemed to be showing her anger to Liang Chongzhen.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain. You lost to me, so you have to accept it."
What do you like and what don't you like?
"All of Father's chosen candidates have died by my sword. Third Brother has experienced it once. Do you want to experience it a second time?"
Thinking back to that time, Liang Chongyue descended like a ghost, and before he could react, he slashed his head with a sword.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared.
But Liang Chongzhen also knew that Liang Chongyue would never kill him at this time.
"If you're so capable, kill me right now."
