Chapter 45 - The two's methods
When Duan Yunhong came back, what he saw was a dining table full of delicious food but no one was sitting on it, and Ning Fei lying on a wooden couch next to it.
He was lying very freely, flipping through some book in his hands. Even when Duan Yunhong came in, he just glanced up and had no intention of getting up.
Duan Yunhong didn't understand what he meant by lying next to the dining table, and asked in confusion: "Why are you in this position?"
"What other posture should I take?" Ning Fei buried the book and tilted his head to look at him, "Run over and kneel to welcome General Duan back for dinner?"
"Who provoked you again?" Duan Yunhong walked to the couch, squatted down and looked at him, "You can't be starving, right? It doesn't look like you would endure not eating and wait for me if you were hungry."
"Why not?" Ning Fei sneered, "General Duan sent a message that he was coming back for dinner, and a bunch of people stared at my reaction, as if I should be grateful for it. Duan Yunhong, you just have to indulge in this addiction of being my boss, don't you?"
Duan Yunhong felt that his angle was strange: "What kind of boss is this?"
"How come the boss raised by Bao is not considered the boss?" Ning Fei finally stood up, and while tidying up his clothes, he casually threw them aside. The hem of his robe swayed and hit Duan Yunhong in the face, who had not yet had time to stand up.
"......!" Duan Yunhong grabbed the hem of the clothes covering his face and made a "tsk" sound.
"Why are you putting on such a grim face?" Ning Fei still doesn't know him? Even if I can't guess his thoughts, I'm familiar with his XP, "I don't like you to spread out."
"You are the one who always likes to make trouble during meals." Duan Yunhong stood up, but he didn't loosen his grip on the man's clothes. "If you don't like being gossiped about by others, I will tell them that you are my retainer and that the servants are not allowed to mention this to you. As for what they say in private, you don't have to care."
"I am a retainer of the Second Prince, unknown to the public. He would not look for me if I were missing. But if I am poached by his rival and he knows about it, will I still be idle? Am I here to sleep or to cause trouble?" Ning Fei paused and looked strange again, "Mr. Duan, don't criticize me. You also like to poach people during meals."
"Then let's eat." Duan Yunhong finally loosened his clothes and sat down at the table. "Don't make any more trouble until you finish eating."
"You were the one who asked me to wait for you to eat, and now you think I'm bothering you." Ning Fei held the back of the chair and sneered, "Do you want me to serve you food, General Duan?"
"Will your weirdness ever end?" Duan Yunhong asked, "Then I'll ask someone to serve you food, okay?"
Ning Fei: "Call someone else?"
Duan Yunhong had no choice but to pick up the food himself and stuffed it into Ning Fei's mouth: "I'll give you the cloth, sit down and eat!"
Ning Fei snorted and chuckled, and finally sat down to eat together.
***
Ning Fei didn't really come here to have dinner with the guests, but since he stayed, he still wanted to know the truth of the matter.
The first one is how Duan Yunhong managed to get those two women to Dong Lingyan's side.
Duan Yunhong did not hide it and directly said that the prime minister's wife and daughter were attacked while they went out to pray for blessings, and it was he who arranged it. He also arranged people around Dong Lingyan, instigating Dong Lingyan to "pass by" the nearby area on time, and further encouraged him to rescue people. Later, the letters that Dong Lingyan and the prime minister's daughter wrote to each other were also delivered by Duan Yunhong's people. Sometimes, the gifts these two people gave to each other were actually suggestions made by people planted by Duan Yunhong.
Ning Fei commented: "So, the relationship between these two people was actually assisted by you. General Duan, you are the master of love."
"Not entirely." Duan Yunhong also commented, "They are just more love-minded. Give them some triggers and they will come up with a lot of fantasies on their own."
As for the daughter of the great elder of the foreign tribe, that is even simpler. Duan Yunhong took advantage of her bringing people into the country to persuade Dong Lingyan to leave the capital. He then drugged both her and Dong Lingyan and threw them onto the same bed. What happened next went more smoothly than Duan Yunhong had originally planned. Duan Yunhong didn't have to do anything else; the two happy enemies approached each other on their own and progressed rapidly.
Duan Yunhong described all of this very simply, and some parts were summarized in just a few words. But Ning Fei knew that things would not be so easy. Even though Duan Yunhong's character is the General of Cavalry, he still has to make good use of the cards in his hand to play such a favorable situation.
"So, Chonglin, that idiot, deserved to lose." Ning Fei scooped up several spoonfuls of diced chicken and eggplant and sighed, "How much did you pay him?"
Duan Yunhong said: "All the luck I can receive in this world."
"That's too much, he's totally not worth it!" Ning Fei said in astonishment, "No wonder he dared to trick me like this, it turns out that not only can he trick me, but he can also make a lot of money privately."
"I just agreed with him like this, but I only gave him 1/3 of the 'deposit' beforehand." Duan Yunhong said, "For the rest, I was prepared to default on it regardless of whether you come or not, and whatever the result is after you come."
"But your agreement...?"
"The so-called 'contractual constraints' and 'penalties for breach of contract' by the administration have no practical significance for us walkers and are not painful at all."
"Pfft, you are indeed a bandit. I was saying, how could you waste so much luck on the people in the Administration? I remember someone said that you would rather disperse your luck than give any to the people in the Administration." Ning Fei raised an eyebrow, "But 1/3 is still too much. Chonglin still got a bargain for nothing."
Duan Yunhong asked: "Do you have a conflict?"
"I assisted him once before, and it was successful. But he was like an idiot. He didn't understand anything, but he had to ask questions about everything and he was against me. I got fed up with it and acted ruthlessly. Not only to the time travelers, but also to him. I bullied him a few times under the pretext of advancing the mission." Ning Fei said the harsh words in a relaxed tone. "After the mission was over, he cursed at me in public at the Administration. I turned the whole mission into a case and submitted it to the main system. His embarrassing example is still rolling in the public information. Of course, he hated me to death."
"Hasn't he realized that he is far inferior to you?" Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes. "What good will come of going against you?"
"Before, he didn't dare to do anything except scolding me a few times. He is just a nobody in the bureau, and he only dares to act arrogantly in the mission world. It's a waste of the identity gained by luck." Ning Fei shrugged, "He just wants to see me have more enemies, and wants to use others to deal with me."
"So you're just going to let him go?"
"No." Ning Fei poured himself another glass of wine. "I plan to file a complaint when I get back. I will file a complaint loud and clear. I will say that he colluded with the bandits, betrayed his colleagues, and obtained a large amount of 'illegal income' from the bandits in private..."
Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you suing him or me?"
"Only children make choices. I will sue them all." Ning Fei picked up the wine glass and said happily, "Duan Yunhong, you are quite capable. How come there is no warning about you in the notice? Then let me help you make up for it."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the small cup again and commented: "...This wine tastes better than the one we had at noon. The general is a little richer than the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the bottle is too small."
"The place where you had lunch was just average, why would he spend money on you?" Duan Yunhong simply put the small wine flask next to him in front of Ning Fei. "Before you, I hadn't met anyone from the Administration for a long time, and I hadn't dealt with these time travelers seriously for a long time. I just dealt with them casually. Maybe that's why you didn't notice me. In fact, I was as hardworking as you for a while, but I got tired of it later. Don't you think it's boring? It's better to live your own life than to bother with those time travelers."
Ning Fei didn't believe his words: "You're being hypocritical. If you were lying down, then why did you go against me before?"
Duan Yunhong avoided their gazes and said, "...I'm not deliberately going against you. I'm just having fun when I get a chance. If I'm serious about snatching it, will I still promise you to give Su Cenxi a chance later?"
"What a weird hesitation." Ning Fei naturally took his bottle and poured himself some wine, jokingly saying, "But after you gave Su Cenxi a chance, you still went against me. Don't tell me that you sometimes just want to see me in a mess? Are you an elementary school student? You use obstructing others to attract attention?"
"You think too much." Duan Yunhong replied, "If I don't destroy his career, do I have to follow your lead and help him? I'm just doing what I have to do in that capacity, making more money from that world so that I can live a more comfortable life."
"Just like you have basically destroyed Dong Lingyan's mission, but you are still conscientiously performing your duties as a general?" Ning Fei drank the wine slowly and commented, "You are quite responsible in strange ways. So you are actually returning to nature and starting to experience life again?"
"You are just the opposite. As long as you can complete the original owner's mission, you are fine with any identity or role, right?" Duan Yunhong said, "And you always leave after the mission is completed? You never relax and live your own life in those worlds?"
"Yes. But I don't like taking a vacation in a mission world, so I concentrate on working for a period of time, and then apply to go to a world without missions for a vacation." Ning Fei really replied him, "Also, I wouldn't have worked so closely together in the two jobs. It was Chonglin's application for assistance that kept urging me, so I came here right after the last job was finished. Otherwise, I would have left long ago after I was sure I didn't want to do this anymore. Why would I stay and lie down for a few days?"
Duan Yunhong asked: "Are you giving up because you think it's hard to turn the situation around, or because you hate Chong Lin?"
"Both. But of course Chonglin made me more upset. I don't want to bother trying to turn the tables." Ning Fei said this, and the hand holding the wine glass extended his index finger and pointed at Duan Yunhong, "Now we have to add you into the equation."
"I?"
"Yes, you." Ning Fei raised his head and finished another glass of wine. "You already have all the advantages. I don't want to struggle desperately under your hands. Then I will be your appetizer, right?"
Duan Yunhong looked at the red at the corners of his eyes and said in a deep voice, "If there were no me and Chonglin, you would turn the tables. Can you do it?"
"Of course I can." Ning Fei glanced at him and smiled softly, "You don't think I'm really helpless and that's why I'm being stubborn, do you? Even if I can't guarantee a 100% comeback, I can still make a move."
Duan Yunhong felt that the look was meaningful, and he pinched his fingers, his voice still calm: "For example?"
"For example... kill that foreign girl and put the blame on the prime minister's daughter, stirring up hatred between the foreigners and Dong Lingyan and the prime minister." Ning Fei's tone was leisurely, but his words were extremely bloody. "Or, when the prime minister's daughter gives birth in the future, kill the child and put the blame on the foreign girl. In this way, Dong Lingyan and the prime minister will hate the foreign girl, and the buffer zone between the foreigners and this country will disappear. Oh, right——"
Ning Fei poured another glass of wine, but this time he didn't drink it himself. Instead, he passed it to Duan Yunhong's mouth: "I still have to do something for the General of the Cavalry. After all, he is the main force in attacking the foreign tribes, and he needs to be motivated. He has no father, no mother, no wife, and no children. What should I do? Kill two of his close subordinates and frame the two strong men under the foreign female subordinates."
Duan Yunhong was stunned, his eyes fixed on him.
Ning Fei saw that he didn't move, and sneered: "Why, are you scared already? Or did you not expect me to be so cruel and disgusting?"
"...No." Duan Yunhong came back to his senses, held Ning Fei's hand, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "I just feel that you seem a little drunk."
"Bullshit." Ning Fei said jokingly, "Do you think I'm drunk and joking? Don't think I'm a good kid... Hey!"
Duan Yunhong used the hand he was holding to pull him towards him.
Ning Fei was caught off guard and was pulled up by him, then lost her balance and fell onto his legs. At this moment, Ning Fei discovered the secret under the wide robe, and turned to look at Duan Yunhong in surprise: "Ah? Which XP of yours has been poked again... Hmm."
Duan Yunhong kissed him, and after the kiss he leaned against him and said, "If you drink any more you'll get drunk, so let's do it first."
Ning Fei was happy and pulled his belt: "Just do it, no need to find excuses."
