Chapter 156 Changes (4)
"In short, we still have to build a close relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Ding at the banquet before returning to the court." Xie Changchao said, and then he raised his gun again and stabbed it viciously into the haystack in front of him.
At this time, the protagonist of their discussion was sitting at the table in the room.
The courtyard where Princess Yuqing was recuperating was filled with flowers and plants, and some of the trees looked lush and green even in winter. In front of the house where Xie Jingxing lived, the branches and leaves of the trees almost blocked the entire window, but even in the daytime, the house always seemed gloomy.
However, in the gloomy atmosphere, the young man sitting upright was as dazzling as the sunlight. The guard in front of him handed him a letter. He read it carefully and threw the letter into the stove in the house. In an instant, a cloud of ash flew out and the letter disappeared without a trace.
"What do you mean?" A figure came from behind. A young man in white poured tea for himself comfortably. His posture was elegant, as if he really came here to drink tea with others.
"The situation has changed." Xie Jingxing did not look back, as if he was thinking about something.
"Oh?" The young man in white paused, looked at him and frowned: "Hasn't it been a long time ago..."
"Gao Yang," Xie Jingxing suddenly said, "How about destroying first and then building, or dying and then ending?"
"You're not like that." Gao Yang was stunned at first, as if a little surprised, then shook his head and said, "You've always been a man who likes to bide your time and wait until everything is certain. If the outcome is not a win, then you won't do it. You're used to planning, so I'm surprised you said that today." He asked, "Did something happen to you?"
"Meeting a madman," Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows, "It suddenly made me think that taking a gamble might be a good idea." He stood up. The corners of his purple robe were embroidered with cloud patterns in gold thread. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't see them at all. However, in the dim light, they faintly emitted a dazzling glow.
"You're not talking about the daughter of the Shen family, are you?" Gao Yang said bluntly, "I heard Tie Yi talk about what happened that day. Although it was bold, it was too reckless. Now that Shen Xin is back, I'm afraid that with Shen Xin's temper, he will cause another big fuss."
"The things are not at the Shen family," Xie Jingxing said, "I changed my mind."
"Are you not planning to use the Shen family anymore?" Gao Yang was a little surprised.
"The Shen family has too many unpredictable circumstances." Xie Jingxing shook his head. Once the boy's usual cynicism faded, his handsome features revealed a composure beyond his years. His natural elegance and nobility shone a mysterious aura on him, more dazzling than the sun.
"What variables do you mean?" Gao Yang asked.
Xie Jingxing raised his lip: "As for the Fu family's attitude, I have a feeling that the Shen family will become the biggest variable in Mingqi's future."
Gao Yang seemed a little unconvinced, but his trust in the young man ultimately overcame his suspicions. He asked, "How do you know? How can the Shen family be a variable? Shen Qiu? Shen Xin? Even if there is a problem within the Shen family, it does not represent the entire Shen family's attitude."
"The Shen family has produced a smart person." Xie Jingxing said lazily: "But fate is too cruel. What's the point of struggling?" He said: "In short, the plan has changed. Let's try a different approach."
"You wouldn't want to..." Gao Yang was moved.
"For so many years, I've endured it for too long." Xie Jingxing said, "I endured it because I had concerns, but now..." He smiled casually, as if the dark clouds had suddenly faded, and sunlight poured into the room, instantly eclipsing the beautiful scenery and dimming the sky and earth. Xie Jingxing stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Gao Yang, I'm tired of lurking. I will take action as soon as possible."
"But are you willing to do that?" Gao Yang asked.
"Nothing to be reluctant about."
Gao Yang sighed, and when he looked up again, he had become resolute: "In that case, let's do as you say. Let's keep that secret for now, and start with Ming Qi. In the Fu family, who do you think we should start with?"
"The old rules, throw the ball, whoever catches it first gets to go." He smiled faintly. His fingers felt something in his sleeve, and with a thought, he pulled out a delicate little bottle. It was the medicine bottle Gao Yang had given him. Inside the bottle was what Gao Yang called a priceless elixir, specifically for scars. Gao Yang claimed that even the deepest scars would fade completely with this ointment.
He held the medicine bottle in his fist, and when he released his palm, the delicate bottle had turned into powder.
Just like what Shen Miao did, a fire will burn away all the false balance, and the hideous truth exposed is the real situation that can be taken. Shen Miao used her scar to eliminate the possibility of reconciliation in the future, so what about him?
His eyes lightly swept out the window, at the dark four corners of the sky in Lin'an Marquis Mansion. He had seen it too many times over the years. Because of some warmth in his memories, he was willing to maintain a false balance.
Now, it's time to break this balance.
He closed his eyes, his long eyelashes as beautiful as butterfly wings in spring, but when he opened them, his gaze was sharper than the sharpest knife.
A map lay spread out before his desk. It was none other than the Ming Qi territory. From the Thirteen Capitals of Youzhou to Dingyuan City in Mobei, from Yuzhou in the south to Dingxi and the East China Sea, from the ancient city of Lin'an to the ancient city of Luoyang, at the very center of that territory lay the most prosperous Dingjing City.
The country was in turmoil and heroes emerged all over the world. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the center of the territory map with his finger.
It seems to determine the rise and fall of a dynasty.
