Chapter 192 Jingchen and Ruohe (2)
Emperor Ning laughed sarcastically, "Look at you, handsome and young, and look at me... I am always annoyed by the noises in the court and the harem, and I have to take medicine to prolong my life. Oh, my mortal body can't stand this torture. If I could be like you, ascend to heaven, I can live forever and rule the world!"
Jing Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "So, you sent General Funing to attack Fuyue City in an attempt to usurp the throne? But if there is no Qingyun Tower, how can your army ascend to the sky?"
"Ha!" Emperor Ning laughed sarcastically again, "Jingchen, don't forget that it was you who planned this war! Why are you pretending to be a god now?"
Jingchen's eyes suddenly became fierce.
……
About a year ago.
Jingchen was drinking tea and enjoying the scenery alone in a Chengfeng Pavilion in Fuyue City. This was a corner he accidentally discovered while strolling around the city with nothing to do. It was perfect for a quiet and relaxing time.
An unexpected guest came that day.
He was enjoying the cool breeze in the pavilion, enjoying the scenery and drinking tea. He heard footsteps in the distance. He looked up and saw that it was Leng Feiren who came. He continued to drink tea calmly and asked, "What brought the Second City Lord here?"
Leng Feiren came in plain clothes, and his attitude was approachable. He lifted up his clothes and sat opposite Jingchen, saying politely: "I just happened to pass by, and didn't expect you to be here. Sitting in the garden, drinking alone, it fits the feeling of Buddhist Zen that Jingchen has always given people."
Jing Chen politely poured a cup of fresh tea for the so-called Second City Lord and directly exposed him: "This place is far away from the Second City Lord's palace and not easily noticed. The Second City Lord is not someone like me who is idle and likes to wander around looking for scenery... So, you deliberately came here to find me, is there something important?"
Leng Feiren was stunned. Who would have thought that this man could predict the future? So, he got straight to the point: "I know that you and her are not in harmony, and because of her magic, you are imprisoned in Fuyue City and cannot return to Huajing. Do you want to leave?"
Jing Chen paused while holding the tea, his eyes cold, "Why, Second City Lord, are you going to help me out of this predicament?"
"Is it possible?" Leng Feiren looked confident.
Jing Chen remained calm, watching him ponder for a while before smiling and asking, "Such a good thing fell from the sky, I am really lucky today, so, Second City Lord, what are your conditions?"
Leng Feiren said to him slowly, "My junior sister learned her skills from the previous head of Wenxin Sect. Her unique skill - the secret technique of barrier, is not something that can be broken by just anyone. So you are trapped here. The only way to get out is to either find a way to get her to release you, or... if she disappears, the technique will naturally disappear with her."
Jing Chen laughed nonchalantly, "So that's how it is. It turns out that the Second City Lord is still thinking of killing someone with a borrowed knife. Compared to this, I would like to ask, since you and your junior sister have the same master, why don't you know this enchantment secret technique?"
These words made Leng Feiren's expression change suddenly. He gritted his teeth, and a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes, which Jing Chen noticed.
He remained silent.
Jing Chen looked at him sharply.
Oh, it turns out to be jealousy.
Great... we can use it the other way around. Who knows who this person who is good at killing people with a borrowed knife may be.
"Master has taught me, but I am not good enough to learn as well as my junior sister. That's all. Let's not talk about it." Leng Feiren continued, "How about it, is Jingchen-jun interested in working with me to accomplish great things?"
Jing Chen pondered for a moment: "Although I can't leave Fuyue City, I have traveled around the Three Realms and know a lot of news. The Second City Lord was in seclusion in Wenxin Gate before, and his eyes and ears were blocked. If he rises, I'm afraid he will need to meet me often... like today's 'encounter'?"
Leng Feiren didn't say anything and continued to listen to him.
Jing Chen drank half a cup of tea in one gulp, his eyes determined, "Okay, go ahead and do it. If you have any questions, come and ask me. But the premise is that you don't involve Hua Jing. If you succeed, it's fine. If you fail, she will definitely take her anger out on Hua Jing. By then, all the people will be devastated, and I'm afraid even I can't stop it."
Whenever he thought of the past, he felt worried. In order to get him, Mu Hanxing defeated the eight martial arts sects in Huajing. Those sects believed in him and naturally would not let her have an easy time. But who would have thought that even though the leaders, elders, elites, and newcomers of the eight sects took turns to attack her, no one could beat her.
Not only that, because of this incident, the eight major sects were spread rumors by people with ulterior motives, saying that these sects dared to accept disciples and teach without any expertise in martial arts. They simply became the laughing stock of the martial arts world!
Later, due to rumors, these sects lost their reputation and gradually became deserted. They no longer appeared in Huajing. Their former glory declined overnight. Who was to blame?
For his own sake, for Huajing's sake, and for those believers, he had to avenge himself.
……
But at this time Leng Feiren looked at him coldly, feeling secretly unhappy. He thought that he was the one in control of the overall situation, but he let this trapped "favored concubine" gain the upper hand in the conversation. He actually knew that he still needed too much information from all walks of life and needed the help of many people to act.
The person who didn't let him touch Huajing obviously wanted to be a reaper of benefits. If something really happened and his deeds were exposed, this person would be able to clear himself of all charges?
Leng Feiren narrowed his eyes.
Jingchen had a nice idea, so he had to send people to Huajing to persuade them and find a way to involve Huajing!
But he politely agreed on the surface: "Okay, I promise you, do you have any other ideas now?"
"A single thread cannot make a strand, and a dead tree cannot make a forest." Jing Chen said seriously, "Her current power is unmatched, and I will not show up no matter what. In addition to winning over the powerful officials in the city who are loyal to you to fan the flames during the political discussion, I am afraid you will also need the forces of the other two realms to help you."
Leng Feiren's eyes lit up: "Oh? For example?"
Jing Chen said slowly, "For example... her other male favorites. Long Jin is trapped in the palace because there is something outside the palace that can kill him. You might as well make use of it. For example, Feng Xiao of the Phoenix Clan, is he really at ease staying in the palace, or is he weighing the pros and cons intentionally or unintentionally? He seems to have always disagreed with his mother, the clan leader. This depends on your ability. See if your people can convince one of them to help you."
Leng Feiren was silent for a while, and felt that this person should not be underestimated. If this person stood on Mu Hanxing's side, it would be troublesome. Fortunately... Fortunately, they were not in love.
Leng Feiren had no status as the second city lord in front of him, so he raised his sleeves hypocritically to help Jing Chen pour another cup of tea, and said meaningfully: "It seems that in the future, I will have to bother Jing Chen often and invite you to 'enjoy the scenery' here together."
Jing Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled: "As long as the Second City Lord doesn't lose control and sell me out halfway, everything will be fine. Although I can't beat the City Lord, I am happy to have a little 'sparring' with the Second City Lord."
Leng Feiren: “…”
