I really became a king.

Chapter 407 Jiang Yi's True Identity

"Since they are unwilling to return it, then I will go and get it back myself!"

After hearing Jiang Yi's words, Chu Huaizi fell silent after being shocked, and remembered the comment about himself.

Three Sovereigns and One Emperor, he understood that the Three Sovereigns should mean three imperial masters, which he has already achieved. Together with the current emperor Jiang Zhenyi, he has served three generations of imperial masters of the Dali Dynasty.

There is still "one emperor" left, and he could never understand the word "emperor".

In addition to "Three Sovereigns and One Emperor", that comment also included the four words "Da Li returns to power".

This has always been his worry. In his heart, he is the so-called "blindly loyal" person. He has been completely integrated into the Dali royal family. Protecting the Dali royal family is his only goal in his life.

He is one of those who know about the promise between the current emperor and the previous Fourteenth Master.

From then on, he believed in his comments without a doubt, because they were exactly related to the four words "Da Li returns to power".

It was also for this reason that he had been secretly observing Prince Duan Jiang Lie over the years, treating him as the last emperor he would serve in his life.

But Prince Duan suddenly "died" halfway through his reign. Chu Huaizi secretly investigated and found out that Prince Duan Jiang Lie was not pretending and had completely withdrawn from the fight for the throne. He was just a dying man.

Soon after, Jiang Yi rose like a comet and also attracted Chu Huaizi's attention.

Today, just a few years later, he has entered the Western Frontier, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and horses, and has become the new owner of the "Da Li Wang Banner". This has further confirmed Chu Huaizi's inference that this Prince Yi is the last emperor he has been waiting for.

In fact, he didn't know why he was so obsessed with the comments, and even waited anxiously for the so-called "One Emperor".

Perhaps it was because he was tired of this long life and urgently needed an "Emperor" to appear to end this life. Or perhaps it was because the word "Emperor" represented something, after all, this word was very unfamiliar to the entire Manghuang Continent.

Jiang Yi glanced at Chu Huaizi who had fallen into silence, and asked curiously, "Does the ancestor know about that old incident?"

Perhaps because he was used to his own identity, Chu Huaizi half lowered his upper body and nodded, saying: "Although this old servant did not witness the agreement with his own eyes, he knows about this matter..."

At this point he sighed and said, "When the nine princes competed for the throne, the Fourteenth Prince was a hidden dragon in the abyss. He was a man of great talent and strategy. He was indeed the most suitable heir to the throne. But unfortunately, God is jealous of talented people..."

Because this matter was a secret, Chu Huaizi isolated the conversation between the two.

Jiang Yi looked at the direction of the Dali Imperial Capital from afar and whispered: "Whether the ancestor believes it or not, in fact, both my father and I are equal to this throne..."

"Since I came to this world, I have only wanted to survive..."

Chu Huaizi nodded and said, "Then I wonder why the prince took this step?"

Jiang Yi continued to look in the direction of the Dali Imperial Capital, then looked in the direction of the Northern Frontier, and whispered: "Yes, why do I have to take this step... Because I have no way out. If I take a step back, I will fall into the abyss..."

"Also, I don't want my father's sacrifice to be in vain, and I don't want to disappoint him..."

His nominal father in this world, Prince Duan Jiang Lie, was willing to give up his cultivation and exchange his own life for his sake, so Jiang Yi had to do something.

Chu Huaizi sighed and said, "Besides your father, there is also Prince Duan who is bedridden in the Northern Frontier... We really shouldn't let them down."

Jiang Yi frowned and said, "What do you mean by this, ancestor?" His father was Prince Duan who was bedridden in the Northern Frontier. What did the other party mean by this?
Chu Huaizi was silent for a while and sighed inwardly. He had kept this secret in his heart for decades. He didn't want to reveal it and keep it in his coffin, but he felt that it would be too unfair to the Prince Duan who was bedridden in the northern border.

Most importantly, he didn't want Prince Yi to lose himself in hatred. He wanted to use this incident to tell Prince Yi that even in the royal family of the Heavenly Family, it was not all about intrigue and deception, but also about pure family affection. "Does Your Majesty know the true identities of the Prince and Prince Duan?"

Hearing Chu Huaizi's question, Jiang Yi nodded and said, "I know."

Chu Huaizi shook his head and said, "No, Your Highness doesn't know... Your Highness is indeed the bloodline of the Fourteenth Master, but the Fourth Master is not."

This sentence was confusing, but Jiang Yi understood it.

The prince was talking about him, the fourteenth master was talking about his grandfather who abdicated the throne to the current emperor Jiang Zhenyi, and the fourth master was talking about Prince Duan Jiang Lie who was bedridden in the northern border.

But the meaning expressed in it is confusing. Prince Duan is his father, and he is the bloodline of the previous generation Fourteenth Master. Why is Prince Duan not?

Jiang Yi vaguely felt that there might be a huge secret hidden here.

Chu Huaizi said slowly in a reminiscent tone, "When the Fourteenth Master reached an agreement with the current emperor, he sent his only son to the palace. The current emperor announced to the public that he was his fourth son."

Jiang Yi nodded. He knew that the fourth prince was the current Prince Duan, Jiang Lie.

"But people's hearts can change... After the Fourteenth Master passed away, the current emperor began to plan for the future and used the strategy of 'replacing the dead with a peach'."

Peach replacing plum? Jiang Yi vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't believe it. In the face of power, could people really be so heartless? That was the only bloodline his brother had entrusted to him!
"It seems that the prince has guessed it. Yes, the current emperor hid the only bloodline of the Fourteenth Master who was still in the cradle, and then replaced it with one of his own princes..."

"This prince is Prince Duan Jiang Lie!"

Chu Huaizi sighed and said, "In fact, the current emperor was wrong. With Prince Duan's talent and good training, he might be able to compete with the Fourteenth Master's lineage. Unfortunately, he personally registered his most outstanding son under someone else's name, and there is no possibility of changing it..."

"Prince Duan is a righteous man, and he has always felt guilty about the Fourteenth Master's bloodline being kept in captivity. Both of them are strategic people, so they naturally became good friends."

"Prince Duan has been taking care of the Fourteenth Master's bloodline without the knowledge of the current emperor, and even allowed him to give birth to a child while in captivity."

Having said that, Chu Huaizi glanced at Jiang Yi, and the meaning was self-evident.

Jiang Yi was completely stunned on the spot. His life experience was too tortuous and bizarre, but to be able to achieve this, Prince Duan really did a great favor to the Fourteenth Master's lineage.

"The current emperor did not know about this, but he discovered the extraordinary bloodline of the Fourteenth Master, so he wanted to kill him. In addition, after more than ten years of planning, he had already completed the plan of replacing the dead with the dead, so he finally took action..."

Perhaps it was due to the blood connection in their bones, Jiang Yi had unconsciously clenched his fists.

"But the current emperor was really wrong. The replacement of the dead by the peach was accomplished, but it also created an unchangeable fact, because in the eyes of the old and young people of the previous dynasty, Prince Duan is the bloodline of the previous Fourteenth Master!"

"Haha, this can be considered as a self-defeating move. If Prince Duan ascends to the throne, it will be equivalent to 'returning power to Dali'."

Jiang Yi then said, "So he was unwilling to give up and turned around to deal with his own son whom he had raised!"

Chu Huaizi did not respond, but said: "Only the current emperor and Prince Duan knew about this matter. Even the current queen was kept in the dark and always thought that Prince Duan was the bloodline of the previous Fourteenth Master..."

Then he glanced at Jiang Yi and continued, "As for the prince's background, originally only Prince Duan knew it, but now it seems that the current emperor should have known it..."

After a long while, Jiang Yi suddenly smiled and said, "So, this king has no way out!"
