Chapter 616: Chapter 615: Father and Son Cold-hearted, Power like Water and Fire_1

He intended to use the war to achieve his goals, but he never thought that he would lose two sons in one day.

“Father, please restrain your grief.”

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of Crown Prince Xia Jian as he pretended to be very filial, showing great care and concern.

“Father, your health is paramount. The second and fourth brother, if they know below, wouldn’t want you to be overly sad and harm your body.”

“Hmph.”

Xia Yan looked coldly at his seemingly obedient son, responding with a snort from his nostrils.

“Father, according to secret reports, there is some movement in the Beiqi border army.”

Third Prince Xia Lei’s brow furrowed, without showing any sadness for his brothers, “I wish to lead the army back to the defense. Please grant your approval, Father.”

“Hmph!”

Xia Yan’s face darkened, his gaze falling on Xia Lei’s body, as if he was going to behead him.

“Third brother, the Beiqi border army is just making some movement. It’s not easy for them to gather their forces, and with Father’s grand plan not yet completed, how can we easily withdraw our troops?”

Crown Prince Xia Jian saw his father’s dissatisfaction, silently rejoicing and taking the opportunity to kick Xia Lei while he was down.

“Father, speed is key in war.

Xia Lei grew anxious, “If the Beiqi really launch a surprise attack and we don’t have time to defend, the four border towns will be in danger.”

“You’re being overly worried, third brother.”

Xia Jian sneered, “Even if Beiqi is brave and good at fighting, they can’t possibly capture four towns in such a short time. Do you think the soldiers stationed in the cities are just decorations?”

Xia Lei choked with anger, “The defense forces in the four border towns have been depleted, leaving them weak. How can they withstand Beiqi’s onslaught?”

The two brothers glared at each other.

“Enough! Stop arguing!”

Xia Yan’s face was gloomy as he grabbed his teacup and threw it on the ground.

Xia Jian and Xia Lei were startled and glanced away, no longer making a sound.

“Master, Xia Jian and Xia Lei’s relationship is truly like water and fire. Once the old emperor dies, they won’t submit to each other, and they’ll fight to the death.”

Lin Qingluo and Little Kingfisher hid outside the tent, listening intently to the discussion inside.

Lin Qingluo sneered, “Even after the death of their two brothers, not a single tear was shed. Such is the so-called royal bond.”

“If their father and two sons die, would Beiming become even more chaotic?”

Little Kingfisher suddenly had an idea and secretly wanted to annihilate them all.

“If only Xia Houchun wasn’t stirring up trouble behind the scenes.”

Lin Qingluo frowned, considering the feasibility of this plan.

“Why not just burn them all to death?”

Little Kingfisher grew more excited, “It’s rare that they’re offering themselves up on a platter. If we don’t act now, we’ll have to travel thousands of miles to Beiming Kingdom to kill them later.”

Lin Qingluo had her concerns, “I worry that if we let Xia Houchun succeed in his treachery and take most of Beiming’s territory, an overly powerful Beiqi will be even more detrimental to Fengqi in the future.”

“Let’s worry about the future later.”

Little Kingfisher was unconcerned, “First, let’s exterminate Beiming, then concentrate our efforts on dealing with Beiqi.”

“Forget it. As long as Xia Jian and Xia Lei are alive, at least the future of Beiming is predictable.”

Lin Qingluo pondered for a moment before giving up on her annihilation plan, “If they all die, and another person like Xia Houchun emerges, it would be even more difficult to deal with.”

“Hmph, they’re lucky.”

Little Kingfisher didn’t think much of them and snorted disdainfully through her nose.

Lin Qingluo hesitated no more, “There are eight hidden guards around Xia Yan. You go and start the fire, burn his barracks, and I’ll be responsible for killing him.”

“Alright.”

Little Kingfisher’s spirit instantly rejuvenated.

Arson was her forte.

As long as she wished, she could easily burn down the entire barracks.
