General Leng made himself look bad and walked out with a cold face!

It must be said that the Leng family is getting too arrogant. When General Wei was alive, he was not so proud of his achievements.

He followed General Wei obediently, as well behaved as his grandson.

Since the Wei family got into trouble, General Leng, as General Wei's favorite student, was assigned to the Wei family's Tiger Guard Camp and the Divine Bow Camp. Since then, he has become a superior person. Wherever he goes, he is praised as the Little Wu'an Jun? Obviously, Wei Ting is the grandson of Wu'an Jun, and it is also obvious that it was Wei Ting who defeated Beiyan, but in the end, half of the credit was attributed to General Leng.

It is said that he assisted Wei Ting and guided Wei Ting in fighting the enemy.

The Wei and Leng families were in the same camp, and Wei Ting never cared about these false reputations, so the rumors became more and more intense.

Indeed, he did contribute a part...

Xiao Chonghua's eyes swept over General Leng's back, and soon, Leng Zhiruo and several other Leng family generals also bowed and left.

"This old minister is tired." The old marquis stood up and bowed to Xiao Chonghua.

Xiao Chonghua nodded slightly.

Soon, he, Jing Yi and Chang Ping were the only ones left in the tent.

Changping served tea.

Jing Yi said: "I don't like General Leng."

Xiao Chonghua hit the nail on the head: "You are saying this because she doesn't like it, right?"

Jing Yi said nothing.

Xiao Chonghua said: "How many people in this world do things based on their personal preferences? You should learn to use people's strengths and tolerate their weaknesses in the future."

Jing Yi said disdainfully: "I don't want to learn."

Xiao Chonghua smiled faintly.

Jing Yi thought of something and asked, "The guard beside the Marquis of Zhenbei..."

"Wei Ting." Xiao Chonghua said.

"Is it him?" Jing Yi frowned his handsome brows. "No wonder he looks familiar. Strange, why is he with the Marquis of Zhenbei? If he wants to come here in disguise, he should be with the Leng family."

Xiao Chonghua said: "The marriage between the Wei and Qin families has also eased the relationship with the Su family."

Jing Yi said: "Then he shouldn't have not informed the Leng family at all. Wei Ting's behavior seems to be on guard against the Leng family."

Xiao Zhonghua slowly picked up the teacup and said, "Yes, Wei Ting's behavior is indeed a bit strange."

After returning to his tent, the old marquis asked, "Didn't you tell Leng that you were here?"

"No." Wei Ting said.

The old marquis paused and said, "Leng Family... Guo Huan's words may not be true. Maybe he was deliberately provoking, or maybe he himself was wrong."

Wei Ting nodded: "I understand, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Even Guo Huan could betray me. I no longer dare to trust anyone who followed my grandfather. I don't know how many of them are out to frame him."

The old marquis sighed, "Do you know why so many people rush to frame the Wei family, but don't they have so much hatred towards Qin Canglan? No matter how powerful Qin Canglan is, there is no successor, and Qin Jiang is a hopeless case. Unlike your Wei family, every man is brave and good at fighting. Any one of them can inherit the mantle of Wu Anjun... It's too scary."

The fact that he could speak so much from his heart to Wei Ting shows that he really didn't treat Wei Ting as an outsider.

The Su family has many descendants, but Su Yuan was born with an allergy and his attainments in martial arts are not deep. Among Su Yuan's sons, only Su Mo is the most outstanding, and the others are not so conspicuous.

Not to mention that those people are jealous of the Wei family, the old marquis was also jealous in the past.

How did they give birth? They are all so capable.

However, everything has its limits and will eventually decline. Such an outstanding family of young men...are gone just like that. God is jealous of such talented people.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just be on guard against the Leng family. It doesn't hurt to be more vigilant." The old marquis changed the subject and said, "If the White Lotus Sect does not agree to negotiate, I'm afraid I'll have to prepare to sneak into the forest."

"I will agree." Wei Ting said.

The old marquis frowned: "Why?"

Wei Ting raised the corner of his lips: "Because the White Lotus Sect no longer has the capital to compete with the imperial court."

Their small treasury was emptied by someone, and the plan to recruit soldiers had to be put on hold. Before raising enough funds, they had to patiently deal with the court.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the envoy of the White Lotus Sect arrived and invited them to have a chat in the forest.

The condition is that everyone must be blindfolded.

General Leng said coldly, "How dare you! How can the princes and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty be humiliated by a mere ninth-rate sect?"

Zhang Feng said arrogantly: "It seems that this general has no sincerity in peace talks. Well, let's fight if we want to, and use the blood of the eldest son of the Leng family as a sacrifice!"

"You--" General Leng was hit in a vital point and tightly grasped the sword at his waist.

Xiao Chonghua finally agreed.

The crowd was blindfolded by the disciples of the White Lotus Sect and taken into a courtyard in the peach forest.

After untying the black cloth, Xiao Chonghua asked, "Where is the leader?"

"I will negotiate with you today."

An old man with gray hair came over with his hands behind his back. He politely bowed and said, "I am Qiu Yutang, the great elder of the White Lotus Sect."

His eyes fell on Xiao Zhonghua, and he said with a smile, "This must be the Third Prince. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! I wonder which one is the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Old Marquis: "Are you blind?"

The Great Elder choked.

Several people went to the main hall for receiving guests.

Xiao Chonghua and the Great Elder sat in the main seats, with the old marquis and a guardian of the White Lotus Sect sitting on their left and right respectively.

The rest of the people also sat down according to their status and rank.

The great elder smiled and said, "Let's be frank. Since the imperial court is here for peace talks, they must have prepared their sincerity for the talks. As for the White Lotus Sect, we originally had no intention of being enemies with the imperial court, but there are always people who use the name of the White Lotus Sect to commit evil and destroy the reputation of the White Lotus Sect. In order to prove our reputation, the White Lotus Sect has decided to stand up this time and work with the imperial court to benefit the people."

The old marquis rolled his eyes.

The corner of the elder's mouth twitched, and he continued with a smile: "To show our sincerity, we decided to let you meet one of the hostages first."

He clapped his hands.

Two disciples of the White Lotus Sect pushed a disheveled young man inside.

Leng Rui shouted: "Dad - save me -"

"Rui'er!" General Leng stood up.

Click——

The two disciples drew their swords and put them on Leng Rui's neck.

General Leng paused in his rush.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "The other hostage is also safe. After all, he is an old acquaintance of our White Lotus Sect."

This is quite intriguing.

Xiao Chonghua did not respond, and said calmly: "Grand Elder, please make some conditions."

The Great Elder was somewhat surprised that Xiao Chonghua, at such a young age, had such determination and was not led by him at all.

He smiled and said, "I, Qiu, love dealing with straightforward people like the Third Prince. In fact, our White Lotus Sect's request is very simple. We will make the White Lotus Sect the state religion, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will worship the leader as the state teacher. From now on, the White Lotus Sect will advance and retreat with the court."

He used the word "bai" instead of "feng".

The difference of one word can make a world of difference in meaning.

When a state teacher is appointed as a minister, he becomes a subject; when a state teacher is worshipped as a minister, he becomes the chief teacher.

This means that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would personally worship the leader of the White Lotus Sect as a great Buddha.

At the court, everyone looked unhappy.

"Third Prince?" The Great Elder looked at Xiao Chonghua with a smile, as if he was completely unaware of how shameless his words were.

Xiao Chonghua frowned.

The elder smiled and looked at the old marquis again: "Marquis Zhenbei?"

The old marquis hooked his finger at Wei Ting behind him.

Wei Ting handed him a washbasin in tacit understanding.

The old marquis held up the basin with both hands and stuck out his tongue very seriously: "Hah——"

The Great Elder: “…” -The first peace talks between the White Lotus Sect and the imperial court ended in a bad mood.

Leng Rui was once again taken away by the White Lotus Sect.

General Leng felt his heart broken when he heard his son's cries. He clenched his fists and said, "Lord Su, you were the one who advocated peace talks in the beginning, and now you are the one who is destroying the peace talks. What on earth do you want to do?"

The old marquis snorted, "If you want to sell out the country, do it yourself. I won't sell it!"

A deputy general of the Leng family stood up and said, "Lord Su, stop slandering me! When did General Leng want to sell out his country? Isn't this a peace talk? Your attitude just now not only angered the White Lotus Sect, but also may have completely angered them. What good will you get from doing this?"

Wei Ting walked up calmly and slapped the man to the ground with a big slap.

General Leng did not expect that his deputy general was in the hands of a small guard and had no ability to fight back at all.

Of course, he never expected that the other party would start fighting over a disagreement.

The old marquis glanced at the deputy general coldly and said, "You are not qualified to talk to me!"

General Leng looked at Xiao Chonghua: "Third Prince!"

Xiao Chonghua said: "The White Lotus Sect is indeed not sincere this time. The court is negotiating for the sake of the people's well-being, not because it is really afraid of the White Lotus Sect. General Leng, I understand that you are eager to save your son, but you cannot be led by the nose by the White Lotus Sect."

What else could General Leng say after all this? He suppressed his anger and cupped his hands: "Yes."

The old marquis's goal is to assassinate Mo Guiyuan. Before Mo Guiyuan shows up, no matter what the peace terms offered by the White Lotus Sect are, he will not easily cooperate.

As for angering General Leng, it was purely to help Wei Ting test whether the Leng family was related to the deaths of the Wei family.

The group stayed in the courtyard for the time being.

Jing Yi stayed in Xiao Chonghua's room, Wei Ting and the old marquis each had their own room. They lived in the east courtyard, while General Leng and his party lived in the west courtyard.

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow sneaked into the west courtyard silently.

As soon as he pushed open General Leng's door, a sword blade with a cold glow was pressed against his neck.

He smiled faintly: "General Leng, if you want to save your son, I advise you to put away the sword."

"Grand Elder?"

General Leng put away his sword and looked at him warily.

The great elder entered.

General Leng's eyes flashed with confusion, and he closed the door: "What are you doing sneaking into my room?"

The Great Elder smiled and said, "Of course, we will make a deal with General Leng."

General Leng said coldly: "I have nothing to trade with you, please leave."

The Great Elder asked, "Doesn't General Leng want to save his only legitimate son?"

General Leng has many sons, but this is the only legitimate one.

General Leng said sternly: "I will not betray the court!"

The great elder laughed so hard that he fell backwards: "If he even betrayed his own mentor, what is the imperial court?"
