Three-legged tripod

"Jiang family..." The man stared at her and murmured softly.

The voice was light, cold and sinister.

It was like some kind of poisonous snake lurking in the dark night, hissing its tongue and breathing gently on the back of the person's neck.

A chill suddenly ran up his spine, and Jiang Jingyuan froze in place.

Under that cold gaze, even his eyes were frozen and unable to turn away.

"Ancestor, kill her!"

Those cold eyes instantly became cloudy, and Lin Jun screamed anxiously.

The next moment, Jiang Jingyuan clearly saw that the veins on Lin Jun's forehead bulged.

Jiang Jingyuan: “…” Your ancestors only enjoyed a little incense, and even after their death for many years, they still insisted on being thugs for the younger generations.

But she would not miss this opportunity. She instantly regained control of her body, gripped the sword tightly, and chopped down!

Lin Jun screamed in pain, but his eyes were sharp. He dodged sideways, took out a long knife with his backhand, and chopped at her neck with a "swish"!

Jiang Jingyuan was immediately forced to retreat and could only dodge.

A rare look of irritation and speechlessness appeared on her expressionless face - could she please ask someone to come over too?

The cold light cut off a piece of her hair and slashed at her neck. "Dang!" "Crack..." A shallow crack appeared on the barrier.

Oh my god! Jiang Jingyuan's back was immediately covered in cold sweat. He couldn't fight him anymore, so he immediately took out the brass disc and wanted to teleport away.

Suddenly, the man in front of him changed his expression, "Idiot!"

Jiang Jingyuan: "???!!!"

The next moment, the expression on the face of the person in front suddenly turned horrified, "Ancestor!"

A ball of black mist suddenly shot out from behind him.

Jiang Jingyuan was stunned, and without caring about what he said, he made up his mind in an instant and swung his sword in his backhand.

"Bang!"

The head with a terrified face flew out, crushing a field of withered and yellow grass.

In front, a straight, headless figure fell to the ground with a bang.

Jiang Jingyuan stood still with his sword in hand, raised his eyes, and quickly searched for the black fog with his calm gaze.

However, after searching the darkness, her brows furrowed slightly.

No? !

Did he leave or disappear?

Just now, Lin Jun called "Ancestor" in such a panic, it really looked like an accident... Jiang Jingyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

She paused, turned around and was about to leave.

She didn't want to think about it anymore. Even if that person was still there, she couldn't beat him. She might even lose her life. It would be best for her to just leave.

She raised her eyes expressionlessly, and saw a pale white face standing upside down in front of her.

In the hazy and dim shadows, in the blurry paleness, there was only a pair of vertical pupils flashing with scarlet light, staring straight at him.

“!!!”

Jiang Jingyuan froze for a moment, then reacted and immediately drew his sword and slashed.

You're crazy!

Are you all in the Zhao family fond of playing tricks?!

The inverted face suddenly revealed a strange smile.

Reflected on the silver-white longsword, his eyes flashed crimson, his mouth opened and closed—

"If you don't want endless trouble, go to Dongling."

brush--

The long sword made a sound of breaking through the air, and the inverted illusory figure shattered and dissipated first, and silver-white light flashed across the void.

Jiang Jingyuan stood there, staring at the place where the shadow disappeared, his dark eyes slightly dazed.

Dongling...?

Are there any endless troubles in Dongling?

…………

In the distant mountains and forests.

Le Fei looked at the water mirror in front of her, pursed her lips and remained silent.

In the water mirror, Le Tingshui pondered for a while with an indifferent expression, and then his pair of silver-gray eyes turned around.

She said lightly:

“Take what we should take, guard what we should guard, and ignore the rest.”

That is, do not make enemies or fight with Yuan Kingdom and Chen Kingdom, and do not pay attention to the reluctance and requests for help of the Lin people, but only take the cities that the prime minister of Lin Kingdom had previously agreed to cede.

——In fact, this was the original plan.

They had never intended to go to war with the Yuan Kingdom at this time, nor did they have any intention of saving Lin. From the beginning to the end, they were just trying to get a piece of the pie.

Presumably, Chen State also planned the same thing.

"Your Majesty," Le Fei suddenly said, "Prime Minister Lin has asked for help from the Chen Kingdom again. It's not difficult to guess what he's thinking. But..."

A look of worry and hesitation appeared on his face. "Let's not talk about Yuan Kingdom for now. I'm afraid we will have a conflict with Chen Kingdom first."

On this battlefield, their Yu Kingdom may not be able to gain any advantage from the Chen Kingdom.

Not to mention that there is a Yuan Kingdom watching here.

They didn't capture these cities in time, so they retreated in a continuous rout, and had to vomit out everything they had just taken in...

It's not easy for Le Tingshui to be the new king. If he really wastes manpower and supplies but gets nothing in return, the court officials will have something to say and will definitely use this as an opportunity to cause trouble and seize power.

Both people on both sides of the water mirror thought of this.

Le Tingshui's expression remained indifferent as he said, "Then we will form an alliance with the Yuan Kingdom."

Le Fei was stunned.

He immediately responded, "Yes."

After a pause, he raised his eyes cautiously, quickly glanced at the scene in the water mirror, and pursed his lips.

"Da, da, da..."

The sound of gentle footsteps suddenly sounded behind me.

Le Fei's expression suddenly changed, and she turned around alertly and looked.

From the gloomy forest, a tall, dark purple ghost figure walked out and stopped not far in front of him. It raised its fair face and looked at him with a light and arrogant look.

When Le Fei saw this face, the expression on her face changed again and again.

In the water mirror, Le Tingshui also saw the person coming. His pair of silver-gray eyes were still cold and without any ripples.

This person is...

Le Fei immediately released his spiritual sense, which spread out into the distance. In just a moment, he retracted it.

He stared at the person in front of him in surprise.

I couldn’t imagine that the king of Chen Kingdom would come in person to participate in this battle of Lin Kingdom.

Or he appeared here when there was no one around. Does this mean he is quite confident in himself?

Yes, the people of Chen Kingdom have always been powerful in martial arts... Thinking of this, Le Fei wanted to stay away from him immediately.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Xiao Zhi looked at the water mirror, then stared at him again, and suddenly laughed, "I've heard some very interesting things about your country of Yu recently, so I came to ask you something."

Le Fei frowned.

Before he could react, in the water mirror behind him, Le Tingshui's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he slowly uttered a cold word: "Go."

Le Fei didn't think twice and followed the order to teleport away.

However, the next moment, his expression became solemn again.

The transmission... was isolated.

He had no choice but to look up at the person in front of him again, full of vigilance, "What do you want to ask?"

Xiao Zhi turned his gaze and looked behind him. The girl in the water mirror had an extremely cold and gloomy face. The smile on her face widened.

"I heard that the Lord Fei who is beside His Majesty Yuguo is actually the Seventh Prince back then."

What's the meaning……?

Le Fei's mind buzzed and countless thoughts exploded.

He didn't move, frozen in place, only his pair of silver-gray eyes, which were extremely similar to Le Tingshui's... were trembling wildly.

What does... "It was the Seventh Prince from back then" mean?

"No memory? Then follow me and treat me as a dog I picked up."

"I will take you away. From now on, your name will be 'Le Fei'."

"If you help me return to the palace, I will naturally reward you. What do you want?"

Ah Shui... Your Majesty...

Someone casually said, "You two look so alike, are you brother and sister?" Le Tingshui's face suddenly darkened and his attitude changed instantly.

And those people...those court officials, whenever they saw him, they would look away.

...It seems that everything has been explained.

Your Majesty...A Shui...

Le Fei slowly lowered her head, and her thin lips opened unconsciously.

"Are you done?"

Behind him, Le Tingshui's cold voice rang out.

Le Fei's body trembled, without looking up or making any movement.

Xiao Zhi didn't say anything either, just raised his eyebrows and shifted his gaze back and forth between the two of them.

"Then let's go."

Le Tingshui's tone was calm.

"No explanation..." Le Fei buried her head even lower for a moment, murmuring unconsciously in her heart, "Or... there will be an explanation later...?"

Actually, it’s a misunderstanding. It’s actually this person who is sowing discord and talking nonsense, right?

Xiao Zhi immediately shook his head in disappointment, "What a loyal dog."

No one paid any attention to him.

Le Tingshui looked at him coldly, without any panic in his heart.

She believed that Le Fei was a smart person.

——At least not that stupid.

The matters between her and him, and the matters in Yuguo, should be handled by themselves. They will not lose their sense of proportion and let others take advantage of them.

Xiao Zhi smiled helplessly, turned his head to look in one direction, and said casually:

"Your Highness Changsheng, it seems that the two princes of Yu Country still prefer your Yuan Country."

As soon as these words were spoken, Le Tingshui and Le Fei also looked over.

In the dim and blurry forest, a figure in white slowly emerged in the night and walked out.

Jiang Jingyuan walked over with an expressionless face and a calm and casual attitude.

She was furious and cursed.

Was Xiao Zhi trying to form an alliance with Yu Nation? He clearly wanted to drag her and Yuan Nation into this mess!

The main point is, since you don’t want to cooperate with me, you can forget about cooperating with me.

Then everyone should act on their own and be on guard against each other, and no one should think of forming a clique and claiming to be the king.

What a sinister person!

Jiang Jingyuan had a blank expression on his face, but tears in his heart.

She is wronged.

She was really just passing by and before she could hear a word, she was trapped here with Xiao Zhi.

Jiang Jingyuan glanced at him with an indifferent expression. He really wanted to say "It's none of your business", but he said nothing.

Xiao Zhi smiled.

In the dark woods, Yuan, Chen and Yu... stood in a three-way confrontation.

The evening breeze blows gently.

Everyone present except Xiao Zhi was feeling aggrieved and unhappy.

It was quiet for a while.

Jiang Jingyuan couldn't swallow this.

She suddenly looked at Xiao Zhi, and the expression on her face changed, turning into an indescribable disgust, and she was amazed:

"No wonder our Crown Prince said that after returning from your Chen Kingdom..."

She shook her head and sighed, "So even the king is..." She glanced at him with disdain again, and raised her foot to obviously move away from him, "No decent person would dare to go to Chen Kingdom."

Xiao Zhi: “?”

The smile on Xiao Zhi's face froze, gradually receding, and then he smiled again:

"Your Highness Changsheng really knows how to joke."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyuan looked at him seriously for several times.

Xiao Zhi didn't understand what was going on, but he still stood there, looking back at her with a smile.

The next moment, Jiang Jingyuan turned his head away expressionlessly: "So you don't understand what I'm saying. You didn't tell me earlier and wasted my energy."

Xiao Zhi: “……?”

Xiao Zhi instantly put away his smile and looked at her calmly:

"Your Highness Changsheng has never been to Chen Country, and you've made up your mind based on what others have said. This is too arbitrary and biased. It turns out that Your Highness Changsheng is just following the crowd..."

Xiao Zhi also shook his head, sighed deeply, glanced at her, and sighed before turning away.

——Everything is implied.

Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"
