Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Decision to kill leads to innovation (Part 1)

In Zhaoyang City, a large number of soldiers escorted several prison carts along the main road of the entire area 

for a public display, finally heading towards the execution ground.

On both sides of the street, many onlookers angrily cursed and accused the people inside the prison cart, with 

some extreme individuals even throwing things at it. 

On the execution platform, Si Cang Qing stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing indifferently at 

the prison cart gradually approaching in the distance. Behind him, a figure in black quietly appeared.

"Master, Minister Liu was assassinated after inspecting the two counties of Jinliu!" 

With a flicker of his gaze, Si Cang Qing's voice turned somber, "How is it now?"

"With the two Mo and Zi protecting him, Lord Liu is safe. This is the information our subordinates have 

gathered!"

Receiving the secret letter, Si Cang Qing fell into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yi was also assassinated. In the past few days, many men in black have come to attack the 

inn where he lives. Although they did not succeed, they unexpectedly targeted Liu Yi again. Those men in 

black were quite powerful, as if they were trained to be dead soldiers. Could it be assassins sent by the 

Qin family?

Intuition told him, No.

His plan is very secret, and there is no way Qin Gaoli could know about it. Even if he disposes of Chen Jiufan 

now, it will not attract too much attention from the Qin family. After all, the same thing has happened many 

times in the past year.

Quickly finishing reading the secret letter in his hand, Si Cang Qing looked at the serious criminals already 

being led to the execution platform. "Xiang, continue the investigation. Based on the clues from Qingyu Gate, 

look into other countries!"

"Yes, master." 

The crowd outside the execution ground was filled with righteous indignation. On the execution platform, 

the people kneeling were none other than the current governor of Jiangdong Prefecture, Chen Jiufan, along with 

his advisor and henchmen.

The sun is at its zenith.

Si Cang Qing's voice was icy, "Criminal Chen Jiufan, from the 18th to the 21st year of the Qingfeng era, you 

served as the magistrate of Jin County, tasked with repairing the Nanjiang River embankment along the Jin River. 

However, you and your accomplices deceived the emperor, colluded with each other, embezzled funds, and 

filled your own pockets, leading to the current Nanjiang flood and the collapse of the river. A million common 

people are suffering from the flood. As the governor of Jiangdong, you are even more indifferent to the people's 

suffering. Not only have you failed to properly resettle the refugees, but you have also colluded with the 

merchants of Zhaoyang City to inflate prices and profit from the situation.”

"Your evil deeds are notorious, and your crimes deserve punishment, even to the extent of implicating your 

entire clan!" Si Cang Qing coldly looked at the shriveled Chen Jiufan, "But this palace does not wish to commit 

further killings. Today, this palace will only deal with a few of you, while the rest of your family will be turned 

into official slaves and exiled to the frontier!"

"Alright!" As soon as Si Cang Qing's words fell, the onlookers all clapped and shouted in delight!

With a command of "Execute," Chen Jiufan's life of crime came to an end on the execution ground.

Surveying the common people outside, Si Cang Qing's voice slightly rose, penetrating the entire area through 

internal force, "The officials in the court are riddled with corruption, causing the common people to suffer greatly. 

Today, this palace promises that this palace will bring all the court's rats and the country's pests to justice and 

deal with them according to the law. Here, this palace hopes the common people will keep their eyes open and 

their hearts pure, and supervise the court officials. If there are any more unjust or unfair matters, you may report 

them, and this palace will ensure justice is served!"

This is his promise to the people of Canghuan Kingdom, and also a declaration of challenge to the Qin clan and 

the corrupt court system!

Upon hearing the words, the crowd erupted, with some even shedding tears. Chaotic shouts and calls filled the 

entire area: "His Highness the Crown Prince is wise!" "His Highness the Crown Prince will decide!" 

After a while, the crowd finally calmed down slightly and looked up at the Crown Prince standing on the 

platform. Dressed in a white dragon robe and wearing the Crown Prince's ceremonial crown, he stood tall and 

straight, his expression stern and imposing, his demeanor unparalleled.

Si Cang Qing continued, "Today, this palace will return to the court, and at that time, this palace will issue an 

imperial edict to the world! Here, this palace has but one wish: the foundation of our Canghuan is the common 

people. This palace hopes you all can unite in heart and mind, live in harmony, develop the people's livelihood, 

strengthen the nation and its military, and together build a prosperous and glorious millennium for our 

Canghuan!"

"We will not fail the Crown Prince's expectations. United in heart and mind, living in harmony, developing 

people's livelihoods, enriching the nation and strengthening the military, we will jointly build a prosperous 

millennium for our realm! Long live the Crown Prince!"

The entire venue was packed with no less than ten thousand people, some being scholars, others farmers, with 

varying social classes. Yet at this moment, they all spoke in unison, under the clear blue sky, taking an oath! 

Today, Zhaoyang City is no longer chaotic.

Although they had just endured the suffering of a flood, the faces of the people were no longer weary and 

haggard. Instead, they were all smiling, with a look of longing and hope in their eyes.

"Master..." A slightly excited voice echoed in the prince's carriage. Today, Feng Lan was also delighted. He 

reached out and wrapped his arms around Si Cang Qing's neck, his voice low, "I'm so happy today..."

Zhaoyang is his birthplace, and Jiangdong Prefecture is the place where his father dedicated his life. His family 

also spent their lives here. Now, Si Cang Qing is in his homeland, making such a promise to the elders and fellow 

villagers of Zhaoyang. If his father is alive in heaven, he will surely be able to rest in peace.

Understanding Feng Lan's meaning, Si Cang Qing gently embraced him, soothingly stroking his back with one 

hand, his tone light, "In a few days, I will hand over Qin Gaoli to you to deal with."

Slightly taken aback, Feng Lan gently stepped out of Si Cang Qing's embrace and looked seriously into his eyes. 

"No need," he said softly. 

"Although I still wish I could take his life myself, I have already let go of that hatred." He had truly let it go. 

Now, all his thoughts were on the person before him. How could a heart filled with love have space for hatred?

"Do as you wish." 

Si Cang Qing looked at Feng Lan calmly, not knowing when he had started to indulge this person infinitely. 

As long as the other party wanted to do something, he would not hesitate to fulfill it; if the other party did not 

want to do something, he would never make it difficult for them…

This feeling seems very dangerous.

Si Cang Qing's gaze slightly shifted down from Feng Lan's eyes. Although his feelings for Feng Lan triggered 

an instinctive sense of crisis, however…

He didn't want to correct it, simply because he had unconditional trust in Feng Lan; and that feeling, although 

dangerous, filled his heart with a subtle, gentle sense of satisfaction, no longer leaving it empty.

Is this what it means to like someone? 

He wasn't sure and didn't bother to find out. Whatever he did, he just followed his heart.

◇Cang Huan◇Seven Palaces◇

Si Cang Qing's silence and gaze made Feng Lan's face slightly hot. 

Feng Lan looked at Si Cang Qing's face somewhat shyly. Ever since that day at the Qiushui Restaurant when 

they kissed, although Si Cang Qing still didn't talk much to him, he often held him like this, and often…

Just like at this moment, staring at his own lips, then a long and gentle kiss.

Thinking of this, Feng Lan couldn't help but feel a bit dry in the mouth and licked his dry lips.

The pale pink lips before him always irresistibly drew his attention, even more than the eyes that originally 

captivated him. Si Cang Qing silently watched as Feng Lan lightly licked his lips with his tongue, the tongue, 

similar in color to his lips, instantly stirring an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

Then he lowered his head slightly, and Si Cang Qing kissed Feng Lan's lips again.

Without any hesitation, Feng Lan slightly parted his lips and gently kissed back. However, this time was different 

from the previous times.

Some things don't need to be learned deliberately. 

The kisses had always been just a taste, but this time, Si Cang Qing felt a bit unsatisfied. Gently nibbling and 

sucking, following the desire deep within, he extended his tongue, sliding into Feng Lan's slightly parted lips, 

lightly teasing that soft warmth.

Numbness instantly surged from the bottom of his heart, and Feng Lan became weak. He clung to Si Cang Qing 

with all his strength, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

The intertwining of lips and tongues deeply stimulated the whole body, and the blood seemed to be aroused, 

making Si Cang Qing's indifferent emotions suddenly become active, clamoring, restlessly dissatisfied, and 

demanding deeper stimulation.

If Si Cang Qing understood this feeling, he would know that it was an irrepressible impulse, something called 

desire.

Although he was somewhat confused, it was not a big deal. 

Some things are just instinct. 

The prince's seat was very spacious, enough for him to lie down flat. 

Holding Feng Lan tightly in her arms, Si Cang Qing followed the restless desire in his heart and kissed him 

deeply while exploring Feng Lan's mouth with the tip of his tongue, playing and entangled with the other party's 

tongue from time to time while slowly moving her body. He leaned down and pressed Feng Lan down inside 

the carriage.

Si Cang Qing's hand, which was originally wrapped around the other's waist, began to become restless. Slowly, 

it moved upward from Feng Lan's waist, inch by inch, caressing through the fabric with a bit of force, sometimes 

kneading.

It felt like there was a fire burning inside him. Feng Lan opened his mouth wide, feeling the other person's tightly 

entwined tongue. A faint moan escaped his throat, his head heavy and his thoughts a tangled mess.

A kiss that almost made Feng Lan suffocate suddenly stopped, Si Cang Qing's lips slid away and landed on his 

jaw, teeth nibbling delicately.

Breathing heavily, feeling that delicate pleasure creeping from the jaw to the heart. Feng Lan's eyelids were 

half-closed, misty and blurred, with a hint of moisture seeping from the corners of his eyes. Unconsciously, he 

lifted his chin, allowing Si Cang Qing to bite and nibble more easily.

Feng Lan's shirt had somehow come undone, revealing the well-built chest of a martial artist, faintly tinged with 

pink, the skin slightly trembling. 

"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince..."

The sudden sound from outside the car, accompanied by the abrupt stop of the vehicle, caused the two intertwined 

bodies to slightly shift forward, instantly dousing the flames of desire raging within them.

Taking a deep breath, Si Cang Qing lifted his head from Feng Lan's body, not getting up immediately, but with 

a slightly heavy tone, he asked, "What is it?"

The person outside the carriage sensitively sensed the displeasure in Si Cang Qing's voice, swallowed hard, and 

answered with some trepidation, "Your Highness, the deputy commander asked me to inform you that someone 

claiming to be the richest person in the world, Qiu Ping Tian, wishes to see you..."

Qiu Ping Tian? Si Cang Qing pondered for a moment before coldly speaking, "Let them wait."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The servant outside the carriage trembled a few times. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to please 

His Highness, but now it seems His Highness is in a very bad mood... No wonder, no wonder the commander 

sent him to report.

"Master..." Feng Lan's voice carried a hint of hoarseness and laziness, his face still flushed. "You, you..." He 

wanted to let Si Cang Qing get up from his body, but he couldn't help but feel weak all over.

Si Cang Qing propped himself up on his arms, leaning down to look at Feng Lan, who appeared somewhat 

enchanting at that moment. His expression softened, and he gently pecked Feng Lan's lips a few times before 

sitting up, pulling Feng Lan up, and casually rearranging his disheveled clothes…

"Master," recalling the earlier passion, Feng Lan's face turned almost blood-red, "I, I can dress myself."

Looking at Feng Lan, who seemed like he wanted to bury himself in the ground, Si Cang Qing didn't push it. 

While tidying his clothes, he recalled everything that had just happened—he had only wanted to kiss him, but 

unexpectedly…

That intense feeling, is it desire?

Indeed, food and sex are human nature! In this life, I will also have such experiences!

If he hadn't been suddenly interrupted just now, perhaps... Thinking of this, Si Cang Qing slightly furrowed his 

brows. He had never done such a thing before; just now, he was acting on his inner desires, but he had no idea 

what to do next!

"Master," Feng Lan, who had finished organizing the clothes, looked at Si Cang Qing, who seemed lost in 

thought, and softly called out, "They've probably been waiting for a long time..."

After all, Qiu Ping Tian is very important to the master's plan, so it's better not to be too negligent.

"Hmm." Not thinking much more, Si Cang Qing lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Let's go take a look together!"
