647 I Did It on Purpose
Xiao Hanzheng could tell what he meant.
He raised his eyebrows. “If I was there when you fell off the horse, we could have saved you.”
“But now, all the bones that were crushed have grown back into your flesh. If I were to treat you, I would first have to cut your legs open and pick out the broken bones. The dislocated bones would also have to be broken and reconnected.”
“As long as you agree, I can give it a try, but do you dare?”
!!
“Or can you bear the pain?”
His scumbag father has delayed seeking treatment for his legs for too long and it would take too much effort to treat them. He would also need a few very expensive and rare medicines.
He naturally wouldn’t waste his effort on his scumbag father.
Xiao Yuanshi’s expression was extremely ugly. “You, you doing this on purpose?”
Upon hearing Xiao Hanzheng’s proposed method, he began to feel uneasy.
Moreover, he did not believe that this method would be effective in curing his legs. Instead, it seemed more like his son was intentionally trying to torment him.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “Yes, I am doing this on purpose. Will you undergo the treatment?”
Xiao Yuanshi gripped the armrest of his wheelchair tightly. “You’ve really been led astray by Shi Qingluo.”
As Xiao Hanzheng spoke, his tone became increasingly infuriating and irritating. This was not the son he used to know.
Xiao Hanzheng raised his lips and said, “I, on the other hand, think it’s the influence of the company you keep.”
“Your leg is hopeless. You should be mentally prepared.”
“So, is there anything else you need from me today?” he asked straightforwardly.
Xiao Yuanshi felt extremely uncomfortable. He reached out and touched his legs. He was actually destroyed just like that.
His eyes turned red. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Xiao Hanzheng and said through gritted teeth, “I hope you can destroy the Northern King Mansion.”
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “That’s quite a far-fetched hope. Although the Northern King has been captured, the Northern King still has the strongest army in the Ge Kingdom. Do you think it will be easy to destroy the Northern King?”
Ge Kingdom was very big and very strong. It was not very realistic to destroy the other party with their current strength.
It had only been a few years since Daliang had experienced war and established a new dynasty. The people had just stabilized and were still recuperating. There was still a gap between the economy and the military compared to Ge.
Of course, it was not hopeless to go all out, but it would also completely drag down Daliang and make the people miserable.
After taking down the Ge Kingdom, how were they going to manage it? There would still be many problems and troubles in the future.
It would be better to make the Ge Kingdom fear them and make them pay tribute every year. Then, they could quickly develop Daliang.
In the future, when the country’s strength and wealth surpassed Ge Kingdom by a large margin, there would be nothing to fear about Ge Kingdom.
At that time, if the other party dared to do this again, they would be directly destroyed.
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. Although his son was telling the truth, couldn’t he say something nice to coax him?
“Then we’ll cripple Ge Chunru’s mother and her son. They won’t be able to fight for the Northern King’s position anymore.”
Before the Northern Prince was captured, he had not yet designated his successor. He favored the son born to his concubine Gao Chunru instead of his legitimate son.
After the Northern King was captured and imprisoned in the capital of Daliang, the Emperor declared the son of the Northern Prince’s legitimate wife as the crown prince.
However, as long as the Northern King did not die, the position of the new Northern King would eventually fall to someone else.
Ge Chunru’s half-brother was indeed capable and had a high chance of making a breakthrough.
However, Ge Chunru and her mother had harmed him to such a state, so he naturally did not want to let them off.
The best way to take revenge was to make sure that the mother and son got nothing.
However, his legs were already crippled, and he could no longer keep his official position. He really could not cripple the mother and son.
That was why he asked Xiao Hanzheng to come over.
He knew that with his son’s ability, there was still hope for him to do it.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “It’s not difficult to do that. But why should I do it for you?”
“Vice Governor, don’t forget that not only do we have no relationship now, but we also have a grudge.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. This bastard was too infuriating.
However, he had expected Xiao Hanzheng to be difficult to talk to, so he was prepared.
He took a deep breath and said, “As long as you help me, I’ll give you all my foundations in the northern border and the power buried in the Ge Kingdom.”
His legs were already crippled, and he could no longer lead troops to fight. He would not even continue to stay on the northern border. It was useless to have these things.
Now, Ge Chunru’s mother was the person he hated the most. That b*tch ruined the rest of his life, so as long as he could take revenge, he was willing to exchange his trump card.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment. “Deal!”
In fact, even if his worthless father did not make this demand, he would not have allowed Gao Chunru’s mother to become too powerful.
The reason why that woman caused his worthless father to become disabled was that she wanted to avenge Gao Chunru and her two younger brothers.
While a person is alive, they may be a source of shame. However, if they suddenly die, even the toughest person like Gao Chunru’s mother would still experience emotional fluctuations, after all, it is her own flesh and blood.
In addition, the Northern King was captured and detained, and the son of the Northern King’s concubine was appointed as the heir by the Ge Kingdom’s Emperor. Ge Chunru’s mother felt suffocated.
Now that he was dealing with his useless father, the next target of revenge would be him and his little wife.
His scumbag father’s foundation in the Northern border and his influence in Ge Kingdom was still very useful to him. He had profited.
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned. “I didn’t expect you to agree so readily.”
He thought that Xiao Hanzheng would make more demands, but that was his bottom line.
Other than the Deputy Governor’s Estate, he had nothing else to offer.
...
Those properties were his insurance for the rest of his life. He couldn’t take them out for revenge.
Xiao Hanzheng saw through his father’s thoughts at a glance. So, revenge was not as important as living the rest of his life. His father was always rational and self-serving.
“Just take it that I pity you and sympathize with you,” he said with a faint smile.
Naturally, he would not reveal his true thoughts. Otherwise, if his scumbag father knew that he was originally going to deal with Ge Chunru’s mother, he might change his mind or hide some of the things he wanted to hand over.
Xiao Yuanshi’s face was filled with embarrassment. He said with some anger, “I don’t need your sympathy.”
He really didn’t want his biological son’s sympathy, it would only make him regret more about what he had lost for a woman like Gao Chunru.
Xiao Hanzheng shrugged. “Alright, whatever you think.”
“Shall I get someone to send you back to Northern City?” she asked.
Xiao Yuanshi clenched his fists. “No, I’ll stay here.”
He wanted to see if his son, who had taken the imperial examination route and was the top scholar, really had the ability to fight and if he could reverse the current weakness of Daliang.
If his son really succeeded, he would be proud and regretful at the same time. This was his son.
...
Xiao Hanzheng looked at his father’s complicated expression and did not feel sorry for him.
“Up to you. Then you can stay here.”
Xiao Yuanshi thought for a moment. “When are you going to save the Third Prince? He has been unconscious for so many days, and that border has been surrounded by Ge Kingdom’s army. Now, the city is about to run out of water and food.”
“If this drags on, it will be even more disadvantageous. Ge Kingdom might take the initiative to attack the city and take down the Third Prince.”
No matter what, he could not let the Third Prince be captured by the commander of the Ge Kingdom.
After all, the Third Prince was still the commander-in-chief of the Daliang Empire, and his status was different from the other generals. If he was captured, he would be the best hostage.
