Xu Cheng’s fist stopped three centimeters away from the old man’s face, but his white hair and beard were chopped off from the air flow that came with the attack.
Xu Cheng suddenly withdrew his fist and said: “I have a way to save you, so how about you serve your country? Make up for all the years you’ve been wrong.”
The old guy’s head hung down and smiled weakly. “Make up for it? Have I done anything wrong?”
He lifted his head, his eyes without the slightest emotion as he glanced at Xu Cheng, and he finally turned around and started crawling.
“You’re not going to kill me, right? Thanks a lot.”
He began to use his upper body as he crawled towards the steps of the Golden Palace.
Xu Cheng followed him as he said, “Do you think the country’s not going to accept you? That’s your own narrow-mindedness, not taking a step down, not willing to live as a loser in this country.”
Azure Dragon continued to crawl up, ignoring Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng said, “I can let you live another twenty years!”
Azure Dragon still didn’t pay any attention to him.
Once he slowly crawled inside, Xu Cheng saw him dragging his body toward the center of the Golden Palace.
When he reached the bottom of the throne, he suddenly kneeled at it and said, “Your Majesty, your servant is back! I have returned on behalf of the 10 brothers who had left the imperial family behind, and have come to repent on behalf of the brothers!”
After he said that, he turned his head to look at Xu Cheng and said disdainfully, “My loyalty is to the emperor, not this country today! Let me end the feudal era once and for all today.”
With that, he raised his palm high and then smashed it down against his own head!
Xu Cheng widened his eyes but it was too late to stop him.
Azure Dragon had smashed his temple in an attempt to commit suicide.
Xu Cheng went up to search for a pulse and found that it was already close to a dying man’s.
Azure Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood as he laid there looking up the ceiling. He curled his lips and smiled. “We set up the Capital Society based on the H Family, but we didn’t think that it would become a capitalist beast. We once wanted to destroy it, but there is someone behind that organization, suppressing our actions. You must be wondering why we were acting like we were imprisoned, so if you have the opportunity, head to Great Britain. Perhaps you’ll know the answer once you understand the last remaining royal family in the world. I’m loyal to the Qing Empire, but I’ve also witnessed the prosperity of this era, and this is probably the only thing I can do for this era.”
With that, Azure Dragon’s eyelids closed and he laid there motionless on the ground.
Xu Cheng stood there and realized that the other two were also kneeling at the throne before they died. He sighed as he sat on the floor of the Golden Palace and blanked out at the sky outside.
Sometimes he wondered what exactly was right or wrong in this world.
In order to exterminate the four clans, for the benefit of the country, everyone including the women, elders, and children had to be killed.
There were so many miserable events nowadays because of the grudges from the previous generations. Although every new era would mean that some killings were inevitable, why did he have to be the one who faces these things?
Not long after, the five old Masters came into the hall and saw Xu Cheng there alone, dazing out on the floor. The five of them came in front of the three Imperial Guards’ corpses and bowed in unison.
Old Master Ye once said to Xu Cheng, “The interests of the nation are above all else!”
These three held grudges towards them in the past, but they’ve put that aside for the country; so that made them worthy of respect.
