Chapter 40: Call me brother in front of others, but call me that person behind their backs?



Feng Heng's face suddenly became even colder, and the aura around him was like falling into an ice cellar.

The two of them inadvertently turned sideways, and instantly reacted, and immediately changed their words, "But compared to you, Boss Feng, it's still far behind."

The two of them had smiles on their faces, which made the girls below feel excited.

The two looked at each other and turned away silently. They had forgotten that the person in front of them disliked Sang Luan the most.

"But she's not at home at this hour. What is she doing in the teahouse?"

The man in blue clothes asked in confusion.

At this moment, the sunlight had already shown its presence, and a ray of it happened to shine on Sang Luan's hair, giving her whole body a layer of color.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly with her movements, and her whole body was filled with bright sunlight. Her usually charming face seemed much more peaceful at this moment.

Feng Hengzhi paused slightly and couldn't help but look at the person there again.

"Will the person we are waiting for show up?" Zhuo Jing had a look of doubt on his face. He pulled his clothes inwards, raised his hand and waved to the people below, with a big smile on his face.

In the blink of an eye, there was another commotion below.

The man on Feng Hengzhi's left couldn't help but twitch his lips. "I say, Third Zhuo, can't you be more low-key?"

Zhuo Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his face became even wider. He continued to wave, "I can't help it. It's mainly because I'm too charming."

Feng Hengzhi coughed lightly and glanced at him sideways without making any expression. Zhuo Jing instantly became obedient, withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and said seriously, "Let's catch the man first."

At the palace banquet a few days ago, all the assassins of Fu Shengxian confessed their intentions. Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne, these people have always wanted to overthrow the emperor and take his place themselves.

The series of actions seem to be very sophisticated, but in fact they are full of loopholes.

They studied for a full 49 days before coming up with this assassination plan.

The assassins were not only those who were at the palace banquet at that time, there were also people outside to assist them.

We had already caught them all, but at the critical moment, one of them slipped away.

To avoid any more trouble, the task naturally fell on Feng Hengzhi.

Feng Hengzhi silently withdrew his gaze and was about to leave.

Zhuo Jing sighed, his eyes widened, and he suddenly pointed somewhere downstairs, "Look, does that person look like the one who ran away the other day?"

Several people looked sideways at the same time, and indeed saw a man wearing a bamboo hat with his face covered tightly, who walked into the shop in front of them in a blink of an eye.

"He went into Tianxiang Tower." Zhuo Jing's pupils suddenly widened. "Is your guy okay?"

Feng Hengzhi corrected him coldly, "She is not, and besides, I am not interested in her affairs."

Zhuo Jing touched his nose guiltily, and when his eyes met Nie Zhiyang's gloating eyes, he wanted to beat him up.

"Then we..."

When Zhuo Jing turned around, he saw Feng Hengzhi actually spun directly from the attic, and the next moment, he landed steadily on the ground.

"Why do you have to do this when you can't just walk on the good road?" He opened his mouth slightly and pointed a finger at Feng Hengzhi's back. "Also, didn't he say he didn't care about other people's affairs?"

Nie Zhiyang spread his hands and shrugged helplessly, "Who knows."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhuo Jing could reply, he imitated Feng Hengzhi and spun around to go down from the attic. After landing steadily, he turned his wrist and suddenly a jade bone fan appeared in his hand.

With a "swish" sound, the fan suddenly opened. He gently fanned it in front of him, looked up at Zhuo Jing, and said loudly: "I'll go first."

Zhuo Jing clicked his tongue, muttered something under his breath, and then hurriedly followed.

As soon as he leaned forward, he felt dizzy and quickly took a step back, holding his chest and closing his eyes for a moment, "I'd better take the diagonal stairs."

In the private room No. 1 of Tianxiang Tower.

Sang Luan frowned slightly and looked around, her face full of confusion.

In an instant, he silently shrank back.

Meng Youning couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Sang Luan shook her head. "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like someone is watching us."

Meng Youning stuck her head out, looked around, and then sat back down in the next moment, "No."

She reached into her sleeve and pulled out a handkerchief wrapped around something. Then, she handed it to Sang Luan, "The jade pendant is ready."

Sang Luan narrowed her eyes, hiding the thoughts in them tightly. A look of joy was evident on her face as she quickly took it and looked at it carefully.

There really isn't a crack to be seen.

"I knew you could do it." She silently put the jade pendant away. "This jade pendant can definitely be exchanged for a lot of money. It's a pity that I can't think of it. Otherwise, with Feng Hengzhi's crazy temper, he will really strangle me to death."

Meng Youning's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She nodded in agreement, "If you want to survive, you must stay away from Feng Hengzhi and Qi Ran."

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, and the two of them looked outside at the same time.

Sang Luan straightened her expression, packed up her things, and stood up instantly.

In just a blink of an eye, Yupo hurriedly pushed the door open, nodded quickly at Meng Youning, and then looked at Sang Luan and said anxiously, "Miss, I heard that there is a fugitive downstairs who is fighting with other guests."

She swallowed, her face filled with anxiety.

Sang Luan and Meng Youning breathed a sigh of relief and were about to sit down when they heard Yupo suddenly say, "The Prime Minister is here!"

"Isn't it just the first..." Sang Luan sat down slowly and repeated subconsciously. The tea she had just taken a sip of suddenly spurted out of her mouth, her pupils slightly widened. "You said Feng Hengzhi is here?"
