Chapter 492: Smooth docking
The fire last night had no impact on Jiang Lin and his friends' trip today.
This caused some trouble to King Li, who had already lowered his posture to ask for help from Jiang Lin. After learning what King Cheng had done yesterday, King Li went to find King Cheng in anger.
"Reporting to King Li, King Cheng has gone to King Han's room."
King Li's expression grew a bit colder upon hearing this. King Han's condition had not gotten worse in the past few days, and there were even signs of improvement, which undoubtedly made King Li a little worried.
He must reach an agreement with Jiang Lin before King Han gets better.
King Li did not go to King Han's room to look for someone. He wanted to leave immediately to prevent any accidents.
"It's still early, why is King Li in such a hurry to go?" The people who followed King Li were hurried as they were told, and left in a hurry as well.
King Li did not want to reveal more, so he found a random excuse to fool him.
While King Cheng and King Han were displaying their affectionate father-son relationship, someone came in and announced, "King Han, King Cheng, King Li has just left."
"Bastard!" King Han roared angrily after hearing this and then started coughing violently.
"Father, don't be angry. You still need to take care of yourself." Cheng Gan sat beside the bed and calmed down King Han.
King Han took a few deep breaths and said to King Cheng, "Your elder brother is incapable of accomplishing anything. You will be the one to shoulder the heavy responsibility in the future."
The corners of King Cheng's mouth gradually rose, and he lowered his head and said to King Han: "Father, my elder brother was just confused for a moment. He was also trying to prevent us from suffering more losses."
King Han snorted and laughed, "I know exactly what he's thinking. That's why he disappoints me so much."
King Cheng didn't say anything else after that. After staying with King Han for a short while, he left.
"Are you not going to continue to be filial to your father?" The official cousin laughed when he saw King Cheng coming back.
"Fortunately, I have a good elder brother, so there is no need to do these things." King Cheng said coldly.
"How ruthless." The official cousin sneered.
King Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, wondering what qualifications such a person had to speak ill of him. Compared with the other party, King Cheng felt that he still had some backbone and would not betray the foreign country.
But the other party was not like that. From the very beginning, he abandoned his own people and came to his side. Now he wanted to use his own hands to deal with people with the same blood.
The official cousin ignored King Cheng's expression and asked him, "Why don't you go and follow your elder brother to see what's going on?"
"No need." Cheng Cheng scoffed. "My father is still alive. What's the point of what he agreed with Jiang Lin?"
The official cousin opened his eyes slightly, then smiled and did not comment on what he said.
Why couldn’t Jiang Lin think of what King Cheng could think of?
Jiang Lin was still on the road at this time. They finally agreed on a spacious place, which was requested by King Li in order to prevent sneak attacks.
Jiang Lin agreed without hesitation. The location was not important to him at all. If they wanted to act secretly against King Li, they could do it anywhere.
"Prince, King Cheng has arrived."
Jiang Lin and his companions had just set out when a secret guard came to report the news.
"It seems that King Li is truly surrendering." Qin Feng said so after hearing this.
Jiang Lin tilted his head, looked at Qin Feng's serious expression and smiled.
Qin Feng frowned, thinking that Jiang Lin was mocking him.
"Cousin, don't judge people by their appearance." Qin Xiangnuan said to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out. His eyes drifted between Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan, then dropped down.
Qin Feng has indeed been feeling a little strange these past few days. Ever since he experienced a 'bath' of blood on the battlefield that day, Qin Feng's heart was greatly shocked.
Qin Feng admired Qin Guang entirely because of his fame, but if one really asked Qin Feng what the real battlefield was like, everything was just Qin Feng's imagination and guesswork, without any concrete image.
But things were completely different after that day. The battlefield was filled with roars, killing, blood, life and death. This was a world Qin Feng had never experienced before.
Qin Feng saw the bloody mouth that was torn open, and realized that some things were not so important. However, Qin Feng still needed to continue to improve in understanding people's minds.
"Qin Feng, everyone has selfish motives. King Li has surrendered only because he has no other choice. You can't trust him completely." Jiang Lin said to Qin Guang.
Qin Feng raised his eyes when he heard this, and he was not as depressed as Jiang Lin thought.
"I will be more careful in the future." Qin Feng stared into Jiang Lin's eyes and said, "I won't be fooled by people's illusions again."
There was a hint of surprise in Qin Xiangnuan's eyes. After staring at Qin Feng for a few more seconds, she looked away as if nothing had happened.
There was a silence in the carriage, but it was not dull. In this way, they arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet King Li.
"Prince Jiang!" King Li felt like he had been waiting here for a long time before he finally saw Jiang Lin appear. At this moment, he walked towards them eagerly until he stopped when there was no room for him to go any further.
"I'm sorry to have kept King Li waiting for a long time." Jiang Lin smiled distantly, causing King Li's smile to pause.
"I came too early." King Li frowned, took a step back and said to Jiang Lin.
They sat on the ground in the sun, as if they were having a picnic.
But the atmosphere was not so harmonious.
Jiang Lin had a smile on his face since he appeared, but it didn't make people feel warm.
King Li heard Jiang Lin ask him in a cold voice, "I wonder if King Li has anything to say about what happened last night?"
Before coming, King Li knew that he could not escape this question, and he thought of several answers, but in the end, King Li chose to tell the truth.
After all, Jiang Lin is not someone who can be easily fooled. If King Li really wants Jiang Lin's help, he must show some sincerity first.
"Prince Jiang should be aware of my current situation, and he should also have heard about the discord between me and King Cheng." King Li said.
Jiang Lin's mouth twitched after hearing this. "Yes, I've heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not. I also don't know if you two brothers are just putting it on for us to see."
King Li laughed. "Even if it disappoints Prince Jiang, it's not worth it for us to pretend all this just to deceive you for several years."
"Really?" Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows. "Then I overestimated myself."
The Queen sighed, lowered her head, and laughed at herself. "Before I came out, I never thought I would sit with you, my enemies. I never thought I would tell you about our shameful deeds."
Jiang Lin did not expect King Li to be so humble, but even so, Jiang Lin would not let his guard down against him. Jiang Lin would never let down his guard against him.
But we have to admit that King Li's sincerity did have a certain effect.
