Chapter 222 Jin丨Exclusive release
by Jiang Wenxue Yu Qi followed Lu Xiaofeng to the old building. Just as they were about to go in together, they were blasted by the people outside, and then they closed the door.
Yu Qi stared at his colleague standing at the door.
"This dog doesn't bite, does it?" He took out a big bone, which looked like it was for Xiao Li to use to grind his teeth. "Suck, suck, suck, come here."
System: [Suck, suck.]
Xue Chen: [Go in.]
He didn't even look at the bone, he sat on the ground and stared at the door, waiting for Lu Xiaofeng to come out.
"This dog is well-fed and won't eat food given out of pity." The colleague praised Yu Qi a few times, and seeing that he was squatting there obediently and didn't look emotional, he left him there and didn't drag him away forcibly.
Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng and Zhui Ming came out.
Zhui Ming looked a little anxious: "Where do you think he is most likely to be?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "I don't know where Xiao Mian is, but I know that what he did is inseparable from the Taiping Palace."
Zhui Ming also thought of this point, "What you said makes sense, but we can't just ignore Xiao Mian. If no one stops him, it will cause a big disaster. How about this, you go find Xiao Mian, and I will notify the other brothers and sisters to go to the palace to meet the emperor together."
"Okay." Lu Xiaofeng and Pei Rui had been together, and knew that he was not good at speaking, but had high martial arts skills. He would show no mercy when fighting and rarely leave anyone alive. If he was left outside, who knows how many people would die at his hands. He reminded Zhui Ming, "Marquis Zhuge has not returned yet, and something big must have happened in the court. If I'm not mistaken, Prince Taiping is very likely in the palace. Third Master, you'd better be prepared and don't let Prince Taiping find out something wrong."
Zhui Ming nodded seriously and looked behind Lu Xiaofeng: "When did you get a dog?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
You may not believe it, but this is actually a person.
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes flickered, "Ahem, this is a long story, let's talk about it later, business is more important."
Zhui Ming took a shortcut and immediately went to the small building in the east. Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the dog next to him and said resignedly, "Let's go together."
Yu Qi: "Woof."
When Lu Xiaofeng didn't know that the dog was Yu Qi, he thought nothing of the dog barking. Once he guessed that he was actually a person, and Yu Qi, who was very cold even when he smiled, Lu Xiaofeng felt very embarrassed, as if ants were crawling on his body.
The two left the old building, and Lu Xiaofeng came to a high place, but still didn't see Pei Rui.
In fact, there was a street in the market to block the view, even if you stood at a very high place, you could only see far away. If you got closer, the buildings would block your view, and the information you could get was limited.
Yu Qi followed and jumped up.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at him: "Where do you think Pei Rui is?"
Yu Qi: "Who is Pei Rui?"
Lu Xiaofeng frowned: "You don't know Pei Rui?"
Yu Qi: "What do you think?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "I think you do."
Yu Qi: "Then why are you asking?"
Lu Xiaofeng was not fooled by him and asked again: "So do you know where Pei Rui is?"
Yu Qi: "Yes."
Lu Xiaofeng had seen Yu Qi disguised as Gong Jiu. These two people belonged to the Western Demon Cult and had a very deep origin. Gong Jiu had a relationship with King Taiping. Yu Qi might not be unaware of this.
Now that he had received a positive answer, Lu Xiaofeng was more certain that King Taiping was seeking something big.
Yu Qi doesn't have many friends, and Lu Xiaofeng thinks that she is extremely important to him. Even though Yu Qi is controlled by the Western Demon Cult and cannot act according to his wishes, he still cares about him.
Yu Qi is willing to go against Gong Jiu for himself, and appears by his side in various identities, most likely because he is concerned about his safety.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Xiaofeng chose to give him more trust: "Can you take me to find Pei Rui?"
Yu Qi jumped off the roof, turned around and winked at Lu Xiaofeng, asking him to follow.
He had to leave time for Pei Rui to catch people, so he didn't walk fast.
Lu Xiaofeng bent slightly and asked in a low voice: "What happened in the capital? Did you disguise yourself as a dog to avoid disaster?"
Yu Qi said in a very calm tone: "Cai Jing is dead."
Lu Xiaofeng's pupils shrank.
This is a major event that can shake the foundation of the country!
Cai Jing seemed to have relied on currying favor with Zhao Ji to sit in his current position, but in fact, his ability is not bad, he made a lot of money, and did a lot of things. After his death, power will naturally fall into someone else's hands, causing unrest in the court.
The Jin Kingdom and Mongolia are both eyeing Daxing, and the only one who can confront them, the King of Taiping, is ambitious and is about to take advantage of the opportunity. If he is not careful, he may drag the entire country to be buried with him.
Cai Jing's death was really not at the right time.
Lu Xiaofeng: "When did it happen? How did he die?"
Yu Qi: "Last night. Assassination."
The news of Cai Jing's death had not yet spread outside. Lu Xiaofeng guessed that the time would not be too long, but he did not expect it to be so close.
The King of Taiping had indeed been planning for a long time. Cai Jing died last night, and he took action this morning!
According to Lu Xiaofeng's observation, Zhui Ming and his men probably didn't know that Cai Jing was dead yet, and Zhuge Zhengwo probably stayed in the palace for this matter.
King Taiping knew that Cai Jing's death could not be concealed, so he arranged for Gong Jiu to lead troops into the city, and asked Pei Rui to capture some important officials in advance... Pei Rui might not know what he was doing. If Zhui Ming persuaded Pei Rui, he should be able to incite a rebellion.
As long as Zhui Ming's side was smooth, he could subdue King Taiping before Gong Jiu arrived and use him as a hostage, which should buy time. Then he would rescue the people captured by Pei Rui, get the military transfer order, unite with the underworld organizations such as Jinfeng Xiyulou, and then dispatch the Imperial City Division and the imperial guards in the city. He should be able to take back the military power and subdue Gong Jiu.
Seeing Yu Qi slowly moving backwards on all four legs, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel anxious: "Can you go faster?"
Yu Qi: "It's already fast, how much faster do you want it to go?" Lu Xiaofeng:
"Don't you know Qinggong?"
Yu Qi: "It's so scary for a dog like me to use Qinggong on the street."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
You're not much better when you speak like a human on the street!
After struggling for a while, Lu Xiaofeng put the overall situation first, "How about I hold you in my arms, and you show me the way."
Yu Qi: "Alright."
At most, he can be a black car driver and go around a few more times, as long as he finds Pei Rui after he finishes his work.
Lu Xiaofeng thought it would take more time to talk, after all, Yu Qi is a man, and there are very few men who like to be held by another man without any problems. Unexpectedly, he agreed so easily.
It seems that it is risky for Yu Qi to use Qinggong.
Lu Xiaofeng picked up Yu Qi: "Where are you going?"
Yu Qi stretched his legs, but still felt uncomfortable. After all, he was not a real dog. Even if he used bone shrinking skills to make his body smaller, in order to fit the outer layer of dog skin, he had to deliberately control his body movements.
He casually reported an address and drove Lu Xiaofeng over quickly. When he didn't find anyone, he changed to another address.
-
Gong Jiu ordered the soldiers to arrest Cai Jing's accomplices in three groups. He went to the Dali Temple first. Halfway through, he met Yuan Feishuang.
Yuan Feishuang was riding a horse with his sleeves fluttering. He pursed his lips tightly, with a smile on his face. He still looked affectionate: "Little Master, your brother asked me to pass on a message that the situation has changed. Now you have to obey my orders."
Gong Jiu sneered: "How can I believe you?" The original body went home after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion. He had never seen Yuan Feishuang. There was no token of the original body on his vest. According to his bad record of torturing Gong Jiu, it was not convincing to just rely
on words.
Yuan Feishuang rode up to Gong Jiu's horse, leaned closer, and said with a smile: "Xue Chen said that if you don't listen, he will beat you, tie you up and send you back to the mansion, and take away the jade token your father gave you to issue orders."
"Humph." Gong Jiu's face was gloomy, and he held the reins tightly, "What did big brother ask you to do?"
Yuan Feishuang sat up straight, looking relaxed, "Lu Xiaofeng is here, and with his misunderstanding of you, he will definitely implicate your father. Although Xue Chen doesn't want to usurp the throne, someone in your family has this ability, so it is inevitable that he will be suspected and guarded against. In this way, it will be difficult to unite with Zhuge Zhengwo, not to mention Fang Yingkan, that fence-sitter."
Gong Jiu had murderous intent: "Just kill a little playboy."
"Your brother is friends with him. If you kill him, be careful of getting beaten up when you get home." Yuan Feishuang said, "What he meant is that the original plan should go on as usual, but we should prepare for the worst. If it doesn't work, we can only take that step."
Gong Jiu nodded.
Yuan Feishuang asked with a smile, "Are you interested in being an emperor?"
Gong Jiu: "No."
Yuan Feishuang: "I thought you were eager for power."
Gong Jiu ignored him and rode away.
Yuan Feishuang chased after him calmly.
He released the system and said with relief: [Look, he has really changed.]
System: [...]
Xue Chen: [Chasing power does not necessarily mean he wants to climb to a high position. I think he just wants to make his own decisions.]
System: [Is he some kind of naive person? Can't he make his own decisions?]
Xue Chen: [He really can't. 】
Gong Jiu's identity destined him to inherit the position of King Taiping and eventually become the same person as his father. The father he rebelled against was not necessarily his father as a person, but the power bestowed on his father by the world to dominate his son.
To put it another way, Gong Jiu couldn't even make decisions about his own body.
He seemed to be indifferent to showing his unique side in front of his subordinates, but in fact he cared very much. It was because he himself felt that such behavior was disgusting that he would show it in front of others as a strong means of attack, or as an unchangeable shortcoming, forcing Shaman to accept it.
He always hated himself, and because of this, he would let himself go when he was about to win in the original book, letting Lu Xiaofeng's whip break his heart.
Xue Chen: 【Alas. 】
System: 【Wuwu, let me go, I really don't want to be a part of your brothers' play, can you choose someone else?】
Xue Chen: 【There is nothing else besides you who shares a brain with me.】
System: 【……】
After the mission is completed, it will apply for release! Hurry up! Those who go far away will never come back!
