Phantom Spear - C177
The last time he said it, Lu Jianfei and Jiang Feng would go to the outskirts of the city to look for Faang Xinyao. Along the way, Lu Jianfei told Jiang Feng about Faang Yan’s recent situation and his emperor’s demands. After that, Lu Jianfei heard some clues from Jiang Feng’s words, and wanted to find out the truth of Jiang Feng’s identity. However, Jiang Feng refused to mention anything. After Lu Jianfei became angry, Jiang Feng swore to the heavens that everyone had their own secrets, but that he would definitely be loyal to the Emperor and wouldn’t do anything to betray him. Seeing him so resolute, Lu Jianfei decided to leave it at that. Jiang Feng asked about Zhan Qun again, causing Lu Jianfei to recall his memories of when he was a constable.
Lu Jianfei indicated for Jiang Feng to continue his story. Jiang Feng rode his horse and said: “Back then, Zhan Qun had been struck down Nameless Cliff by the Master Lu. Even if he was lucky and did not die, why is it that there hasn’t been any news of him in the martial arts world for all these years? And why had he reappeared recently? However, with his identity as the number one assassin, he should be sent out once again. Lu Jianfei nodded slightly, and said: “That’s right. Based on the information I’ve gathered about Zhan Qun back then, he is not afraid of danger. Or rather, it could be said that he likes that kind of stimulation.” Jiang Feng continued: “So that’s why, I have a bold guess, that day when someone saved him, they took him in as their arm, and only then did he recuperate.” Lu Jianfei saw that Jiang Feng’s speculations were not bad, and followed: “Furthermore, this person must be someone with power within the imperial court, otherwise, it would be difficult to tame an evil person like Zhan Qun.” Jiang Feng agreed and said: “So my guess is that he is most likely the current prime minister, Liu Shichen.” After Lu Jianfei heard these words, he did not seem to be surprised, because based on what Jiang Feng had said, with just a simple analysis, he was able to deduce that Liu Shichen had saved him and kept him in his residence. It was just that from that time onwards, Liu Shichen had begun to recruit troops for his own forces. Moreover, there is not even the slightest evidence left. He said: “Master Chiang, now that you have no proof, you cannot presume to speculate, and just tell me today, I know and will immediately forget about it. Other people must not mention these words, do you understand?” Jiang Feng let out a long breath, and said in his heart: There really are too many things that I need to learn in the government. Jiang Feng cupped his hands and said: “Yes, Master Lu. However, he was in the dark now, and we were in the open. In that case, it would be very easy for us to be at a disadvantage. With his assassination skills, even I am not his match. ” Lu Jianfei’s expression became solemn, and said: “You don’t have to worry too much about that. Since he is currently someone else’s subordinate, naturally, he has to listen to Master’s orders, so he shouldn’t be too reckless. Furthermore, I believe that you have the experience from last time. If you meet him again, you will know how to deal with him. After hearing what he said, the unwillingness to lose also rose in Jiang Feng’s heart. He also silently said to himself that he would definitely win against Zhan Qun.
Lu Jianfei and Jiang Feng had been walking along the outskirts of the city for a long time, but they still hadn’t seen any trace of Faang Xinyao. Although Lu Jianfei was a little worried, his expression could not change. But Jiang Feng was a little anxious, and said: “Where did Lady Faang go? Sigh, it’s all my fault, I should have guarded her well.” Lu Jianfei said solemnly: “Master Chiang, don’t blame yourself anymore, it is useless to blame yourself, since she is not outside the city, I think she is wandering around, we will immediately rush in to the city to search.” Jiang Feng nodded in agreement before he whipped his horse and galloped towards the direction of the capital with Lu Jianfei.
On the other hand, inside the capital’s Prime Minister’s Mansion, Young Master Liu was standing behind his father. His expression was a little gloomy as he said: “Father, Bing Bing has already been called over by me, and is coaxing her back to her room to rest. I just saw you coming in through the door, so I came to see you. ” Liu Shichen’s displeasure and worry were mixed together. Seeing that her father had remained silent for a long time, Young Master Liu said, “Father, you can rest assured that Bing Bing will not run around anymore. I will send people to watch over him. When you went to the door, could it be that someone from our manor is going on a long journey? ” When Liu Shichen heard that the Young Master Liu had settled the matters with Bing Bing, he could only calm down a little. He turned his head and said: “I was going to send the three brothers of the Zhao brothers away.” Young Master Liu seemed somewhat surprised after hearing that. “What? Why did the three brothers of the Plains choose to leave at this critical moment? When they left, we lost a large portion of our guards. ” Liu Shichen said in a low voice, “Mn, of course I know this. However, Ping Tong said that the s and elders of the Kun Sect were killed by someone first. As the leaders of the sect, how could he not go back to take charge of the situation when the sect was in trouble? Since they have already said this, there’s nothing left for me to say. I can only send them back, but they have already made an agreement with me. After settling the matter, they will come back to help me. “I usually do not hold back on their behalf. The three brothers are also loyal men, so they will not break their promise to us.” The Young Master Liu nodded his head, and said: “Naturally, when I went to look for them outside of seclusion to help father, I also took a fancy to the three brothers who valued friendship and martial arts. Moreover, when the three of them teamed up against the enemy, they were able to display a power that was several times more shocking. I think that as soon as the deadline approaches, I’ll send someone out to invite them. They should be back soon. ” Liu Shichen stood with his hands behind his back, and said: “En, everything needs to be prepared on our side. Once everything is prepared, they will definitely be our main fighting force. If it’s cold, there’s one more thing that I can’t rest easy about. ” Of course, Young Master Liu knew what his father was thinking. “Father, you’re still worried about Bing Bing, right?” Liu Shichen sighed, he had rarely seen such a change in his expression, and said: “Having raised Bing Bing for so many years, it’s not that I don’t know what kind of character she has, but this time she was really reckless. She actually fought with Father over a wild brat.” Young Master Liu could understand her sister’s feelings towards Jiang Feng, and could also understand why her father scolded Bing Bing. He even hit her this time. Since both sides were in control of the situation, and he was stuck in the middle, he naturally wouldn’t feel good either. Thus, he could only try his best to persuade one side. Young Master Liu advised: “Father, Bing Bing’s feelings have just started to develop, and Chiang Feng is outstanding. He has also treated her quite well, so her heart is naturally bound to his, which is a normal matter. When Bing Bing first met Chiang Feng, he was still a worthless brat, you know. I heard from Bing Bing that you promised to fulfill their promise. Chiang Feng joined Dalong to go against us, but Bing Bing didn’t know much about politics and her father’s tyranny. She was a girl, so she naturally thought of her choice of man as her husband. Father, sometimes, I feel that you need to understand Bing Bing’s feelings as well, not just simply asking Bing Bing to understand you. ” After Liu Shichen finished listening to Young Master Liu’s words, he was also thinking about himself.
Liu Shichen was silent for a while, before he said: “Ruo Han, father really wants to achieve his own great ambition, but I also want you two siblings to find a place of your own so that when the matter is settled, won’t all of this become very simple? There are so many good men in the world, why must Bing Bing fall for that Chiang Feng? ” Young Master Liu walked to his father’s side and comforted him, “Father, you don’t have to be like this too much. I think that you and Bing Bing can both stay calm for a while. Father, no matter what, I have my child here. ” In that instant, Liu Shichen felt both physically and mentally exhausted, as if he had long since changed from his youth and grown old …
What about later?
And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
