Race to the
Throne
Chapter 27: All scared
Province Kuwon, Governor's Office-
Chen Hu is a middle-aged man and has a happy family, one wife, and one son.
Also, he is the governor of the province
Chen Hu right now is in his office, was reading some documents about the province when someone suddenly came and told him what happened last night
After hearing everything, Chen Hu sends the servant back to his work and sits on his seat
"Idiots!!!! Can't even do a simple job" Chen Hu said as he smashes his palm on the table
He then took a long breath and calmed himself down
Then he starts thinking about something while thinking he said "That 4th prince is really something… But who were those people he called?
Seems like it will take some time till Emperor Jin Zhi will take this kingdom"
Chen Hu calmed himself and then took a brush, ink, and paper. Then he started writing something on it and then gave it to someone
Nighttime-
Chen Hu is on his chariot, going back to his house
After some time he reaches his house, a mansion, and then goes inside his room
"Honey, I am here…" Chen Hu said as he takes his robe off but he got no response
"Where are you??? Chen Bao (Son, 5 years old)????" he calls out his family but no one responded
"The hell!!!" Chen Hu shouts as he enters his bedroom and saw everything here and there
Chen Hu is now fully sure that something wrong has happened and made his steps towards the guards outside his house
"YOU IDIOTS!!! Where are my wife and Son???!!!" Chen Hu shouts at his guards
The guards smiled and said "What are you saying, my lord? We were always here, nothing is wrong"
Seeing the smile of his guards, Chen Hu became furious and wanted to beat the shit out of him but suddenly he noticed something
"Who are you?" Chen Hu asked as he noticed that the person who is his guard is not the one he had hired
He looked around and then noticed that all the guards, even coachmen (chariot) everyone is different.
"Who are you all???" Chen Hu asked as he steps backward
Fear is all over his face
The guards around him smiled and then turned away from him, and go back to their position
Without facing him, one of the guards said "Don't worry, your wife and your son are with us. They are all right but… if you do something, you know what could happen
Be a good boy and just go back to your room. We will tell you what to do, later on, Go Back, people are staring at us"
Chen Hu became all scared and gulped his dry saliva
He looked at the guards and then nodded, he is in no position to make a deal here so he just did what he was told
Next day-
Chen Hu noticed that the guards he saw last night are no longer there and the old guards are back to their positions
He doesn't know what is going on
At first, he thought it was a dream as his room was also back to its normal condition but when he didn't find his wife and son and got a letter. He knew it that things are really worst right now
In the letter, it said that if he had sent any type of reports about the 4th prince is being sent to anyone, then call it back right now or else…
Chen Hu didn't waste any time and just went straight to his office and called the same man who took the letter yesterday
He pulled out as much as money possible to bring back the letter and then made a fake report and sent it back, after all, he has to say something to emperor Jin Zhi (Emperor of Liaohua)
The day ended and he is back to his home where he has no one waiting for him
He sits in a corner in his bedroom and started crying. He kept on calling his wife and son's name but no one answered his call
And so the night passes
The next day, he again gets a letter saying that he should send his guards away and make sure that no one is at home
He immediately announces a holiday and sends all of his servants home
And in the next moment, an attack on him took place, making him unconscious
After some time-
��Wooow, horses are really strong"
Chen Hu heard some noises and opens his eyes, it was all blurry but still, he could see some figures and soon his blurry vision got clear
And there he saw a very familiar face, 4th Prince Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi smiled at Chen Hu and asked "Awake?"
Chen Hu wanted to speak something but couldn't do so as inside his mouth is clothes, making him unable to make any type of voice
The area he is in right now seems to be stable as there are only horses around the place
In front is, Hao Jiazhi who throws away as smashed pumpkin in front of the horse and then puts down a watermelon and asked the horsemen/trainer to smash the watermelon (by horse)
The horse easily smashed the whole watermelon into pieces
Hao Jiazhi smiled and asked the horsemen "his legs are really strong, but can it break things that are much harder than watermelon?"
The trained nodded and then Hoa Jiazhi waved his hand, and then 2 men appeared dragging a man towards the horse
Chen Hu clearly remembers the man's face that is being dragged; it is his spy that was sent to Hao Tai's mansion to keep an eye on her and Hao Jiazhi
Soon he looks around and finds out that there are 5 more people who are being tied and kept in one place, all of them are his spy
The man that has been dragged to the horse had his mouth covered with a piece of cloth, so he couldn't speak anything and his hands were also tied
The man's head was put down in front of horse legs, the man tried to scream and free himself but nothing happened
Hao Jiazhi grabbed the head of that man in one place and told the trainer to do the job, the trainer smiled and then commanded his horses to smash what is in front of him
*splash*
Blood spilled everywhere and the man became all still. He is dead
Then, Hao Jiazhi looked at a female and said "Bring that bitch, she was always behind me making me really angry all the time"
His servants followed the command and brought her in front of the horse
*splash*
And again, blood spilled everywhere and someone died again
This scene kept on continuing, till no one was left and to Chen Hu, who is seeing all this, is all scared and pissed himself
It was a nightmare to him in the daytime
. . .

Chapter 28: Advice
After ending the life of all those people who were staring at him for the past few days, Hoa Jiazhi cleaned his hands and then walked towards Chen Hu
He didn't say anything but rather he called out someone
A female came with another female that had her eyes blinded by a piece of cloth
It is Chen Yun, Chen Hu's wife
"uhmmmmmm!!!" Chen Hu tried to shout but nothing happened as people around him made him stay on the chair
He can't do anything except just watch the show
Hao Jiazhi grabbed Chen Yun and pulled her towards himself, then he touched her cheeks and neck with his finger but didn't go down anymore
She also had her mouth covered
Chen Hu became all restless and wanted to free himself but he can't do so. He is helpless right now
Hao Jiazhi just gave a small smile and then told his servant to take Chun Yun back
Then he brought a chair and sits in front of Chen Hu
"The one who is responsible for all these things is not me, but you" HaoJiazhi said to him in a serious tone
Chen Hu's eyes became all wide as he didn't understand what Hao Jiazhi was saying, he clearly saw that everything has happened so far is all thanks to HaoJiazhi
But Hao Jiazhi is denying it
"Let me explain it" Hao Jiazhi said and stands up
He starts moving round around Chen Hu and said "You are the one whose greed made soldiers of enemy kingdom come to this land…
It was you who made those innocent people a spy and sent inside the place where royal heirs live
It was you who made a report to the enemy and told things about me
It was you who forced me to take some strong steps and do all these things
It was you…. Who made me want to touch your wife
And it can be also you, who will force me to do something to your wife and son…"
Hao Jiazhi right now is playing mind games and making sure he completely brainwashes Chen Hu with fear
He is just making sure that in the future Chen Hu would be a loyal pawn that can be used by him whenever he wants to
Chen Hu, at first didn't believe Hao Jiazhi's word but as the talk continued
He realized that it was him who began all these things and due to his greed, his wife and son are now in danger
Hao Jiazhi clearly noticed the confusion on the face of Chen Hu and made his next move, he said "But, I am not a bad guy
And that's the reason why I didn't hurt you,r wife or son, as they haven't done anything.
As for those servant's, they tried to always hear some confidential things like some royal secrets, so their death was necessary"
Hao Jiazhi made his move and stated that he is innocent and the only people he had killed were those who heard something highly confidential
And he didn't try to hurt his wife because she is innocent
Making Chen Hu believe that his wife and son, or any other dear person, is safe till they don't do anything
Only those are hurt who try to hurt Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi was making Chen Hu believe that he is an innocent person and the one who really is a victim, is not Chen Hu and him (Hao Jiazhi)
And as planned, Chen Hu started crying and nodded to Hao Jiazhi's word
Xu Hai, standing on another side, became all shocked by the skills of Hao Jiazhi
She never believed that with just a few words, Hao Jiazhi is able to make Chen Hu believe that it is not him who is the victim but rather Hao Jiazhi
'Words are sharper than the sword and more dangerous than poison… seems like it is true' Xu Hai said in her mind
Hao Jiazh then opened the mouth of Chen Hu and said "Its ok… till you know your mistakes… everything is fine
From now on, my people will help you in your work and also make sure that you repent for your mistake as a good man
Now go back to your house, I will send you wife and son back with full respect later on"
Chen Hu just nodded and said "I am sorry"
Hao Jiazhi nodded and then sends him back to his house
Later that night, Chen Hu gets his family back
. . .
Hao Jiazhi had made plans and told Hao Tai what to do
His 4-year plan has now initiated and now that the governor is also under his control, HaoJiazhi has indirectly gained control over the whole province of Kuwon
At first, Hao Jiazhi thought of removing Hao Tai from this place but then he thought to leave this till she doesn't do something that will make him angry
A few days passed and Hao Jiazhi is ready to leave the place of Hao Tai, as he has the stuff to handle in his province (Jinmen) also
But before going back HaoJiazhi had something to say to Hao Tai
"Big sister, I have something to say to you…. I hope you will give me some time" Hao Jiazhi said to his big sister, Hao Tai
She nodded and asked what he wants to talk
Hao Jiazhi took a long breath and said "Big Sister Hao Tai, I'll be clear to you
I know that you can't walk and I know that you feel inferior to others but let me tell you one thing…
This whole war thing was all possible because of your stupidity"
This made her attendant angry but Hao Tai calmed her down
"Continue" She said to HaoJiazhi
"Because of your foolish inferiority complex, you never learned any type of economics skill or political skill, and this led to the current condition of Province Kuwon
If you really think of me as your brother, then please learn something useful. You can't walk, but at least you can still think…
Don't be stupid" Hao Jiazhi said and then bids his farewell to Hao Tai
Hao Jiazhi himself doesn't know why he gave her this advice, but it seems that he really has some big soft spot for her, something he himself doesn't know
Hao Tai's attendant became all angry with Hao Jiazhi but only she knew that her brother's word is right
She is his big sister and she should be the one giving advice to him but here, it is she who is getting advice from her little brother
"I'll try my best" she said in a low tone as small tears came from her eyes
