EBE Chapter 336 The Conspiracy
Chapter 336 The Conspiracy
"Hehe," Liu Yan chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with sarcasm.
Feng Ru was slightly taken aback when she heard this, looked up and glanced at it, her expression very serious.
"Even if you say that, so what? Yang Ling now controls the entire Liangzhou region and is also the ninth prince of Liang. It's practically impossible for our people to take action against him."
"So what? Do you have any other good ideas?" Liu Yan asked indifferently.
Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes: "Of course, we can use someone else to do our dirty work!"
Kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Liu Yan raised an eyebrow: "Who?"
"Xiao Wuyin..."
Liu Yan snorted coldly: "Do you think I'd believe you?"
She had no grudge against Xiao Wuyin, and she also knew that Xiao Wuyin was engaged to Nanxian.
Feng Ruqing slowly stood up and walked towards the sunlight outside the door. The sunlight fell on her shoulders, and her small and delicate face shone with a resolute light.
“I’ve said it before, I can not only help you get back what you want, but I can also help you get rid of those who are harming you. If you are willing to believe me, then do as I say.”
Liu Yan gazed at the woman's retreating figure.
After a long silence, she finally looked away and said, "Fine, since you've gone this far, I'll give you another chance."
Feng Ruqing smiled.
"However, I need to confirm first whether you can protect Nanxian."
"Don't worry," Feng Ruqing smiled slightly, "I will take responsibility for his safety. I will never let anyone hurt him in the slightest, even if... the sky falls down."
Liu Yan remained silent for a long time: "I hope you remember what you said today. As long as you can do it, I am willing to give my life to you."
Feng Ruqing turned around and sat down opposite Liu Yan, gazing into her clear and bright eyes.
If they want to save their country from destruction, Yang Ling must be eliminated.
Leaving such a genius in this world would be an extremely great danger to them.
However, Liu Yan also knew that the Xiao family was very powerful, and if she rashly sought revenge against them, she would surely die.
However, if you use someone else to do the dirty work, that's a different story.
"Okay, I promise you." Feng Ruqing smiled faintly.
Liu Yan lowered her head to drink her tea, concealing the glint of light that flashed in her eyes.
"Whether you succeed or fail, you will have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Feng Ruqing shrugged: "Didn't I already anticipate the consequences?"
Liu Yan raised her head, her deep gaze fixed on the girl's exquisite face.
She suddenly burst out laughing.
"Haha, yes, you had already foreseen the outcome, but unfortunately, you still chose to move forward without ever backing down."
“Because I have my own path to walk.” Feng Ruqing’s laughter was domineering and chilling.
Liu Yan stared blankly at the girl for a long time before finally finishing her tea: "I'll wait for your news."
"it is good."
Feng Ruqing nodded.
A slight smile played on her lips, and her eyes radiated confidence.
She has never been afraid of anything, including the Xiao family!
"I am leaving."
Liu Yan stood up, her steps slightly unsteady, as if she were standing on a bottomless abyss and might fall at any moment.
Even though she staggered, she still left without hesitation.
……
Inside the Xiao residence.
The maids busily brought in the food.
Xiao Chenfeng sat at the table, his handsome face full of seriousness.
“Your Highness, it’s time for your meal,” Madam Xiao said with a gentle smile, stepping forward to pick up her chopsticks and serve some food. “I specially asked the kitchen to prepare a few extra dishes that you like.”
“Hmm,” Xiao Chenfeng nodded casually, “Don’t be busy, sit down and have dinner with me.”
A happy smile spread across Madam Xiao's face as she obediently sat down.
Ever since that incident, the prince has stopped setting foot in her courtyard.
He wouldn't even deign to touch her.
But recently, the prince has been coming over to sit for a while and have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
This is the third time the prince has come...
Her heart felt warm, and she felt very gratified.
"Your Majesty..."
Just then, a guard rushed in and knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Chenfeng.
"What is it?" Xiao Chenfeng frowned and glanced at the guard.
The guard bowed and reported, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the capital!"
Boom!
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Xiao Chenfeng suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes filled with shock, his fists clenched tightly, and his pupils dilated.
The image that appeared in his mind was of a man in flowing white robes, whose every move was elegant and noble, as if he was born to be superior.
"Father!"
Xiao Chenfeng's heart trembled uncontrollably, and his body was extremely stiff.
For a moment, he didn't dare to take a step to see Xiao Wuyou.
"Your Majesty..."
Madam Xiao tugged at Xiao Chenfeng's sleeve urgently and cried out in a panic.
Xiao Chenfeng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again.
"Let's go."
Whether Xiao Wuyou is alive or dead, he must go and see him!
……
Yang family.
Inside the study, the old man was sitting in his seat, enjoying tea.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a bang.
Xiao Chenfeng stepped into the room, his face ashen and his hands clenched into fists.
The old man was slightly taken aback: "Brother Wang, what brings you here?"
"Second Brother," Xiao Chenfeng said angrily, "why did you secretly transfer the Xiao family army to the capital without my knowledge?"
"The Xiao family army?" The old man looked at the man in front of him in surprise. "Isn't the Xiao family army stationed at the border?"
"Second Brother, I know the Xiao family army is loyal, but the Nanyang Kingdom is now in a precarious state! I hope you can send the Xiao family army there to protect Nanyang!"
“Brother Wang,” the old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, “have you forgotten that Nanyang is our base of operations? How could we bear to give it away?”
Xiao Chenfeng pursed his lips: "I don't want to wait any longer. If we continue to delay, Nanyang will inevitably suffer, and it will be impossible for all of the Xiao family's troops to be transferred back to Nanyang!"
The old man frowned: "Brother, don't you know that you are now the Prince of Nanyang, and Nanyang is your fiefdom!"
"I no longer care about the title of Prince!"
Xiao Chenfeng gritted his teeth.
"Then what are you worried about? You want me to send the Xiao family army to guard Nanyang?" The old man sighed and said helplessly.
Xiao Chenfeng sneered, "The only people I care about are my wife and children; everything else is irrelevant."
"Hehe, Brother Wang, if you continue to be so willful and reckless, you'll get into trouble sooner or later!"
"Getting into trouble?"
Xiao Chenfeng curled his lips in a mocking smile.
"Second brother, if you refuse to send the Xiao family army to Nanyang, then so be it. Don't blame me for being heartless. I only obey Father's orders."
After saying this, Xiao Chenfeng turned and left.
If the Xiao family army were to be sent to Nanyang, the entire city would inevitably be engulfed in war, and countless civilians would die.
The Xiao family army was his last line of defense.
Even if it means his death, we must not allow a single member of the Xiao family army to be harmed.
