Chapter 149 Taking advantage of opportunities

Ah this

Is this okay?

An Yunxi stared at Ling Fengxun's eyes and saw the man's handsome face with a faint smile. She felt that this man was simply an old fox!

She really underestimated this world-famous war god!

What about the domineering and unwavering? He is really good at

taking advantage of opportunities!

However, this also shows that Ling Fengxun's feelings for Chu Wanran are not that deep. The things she did have touched Ling Fengxun's bottom line.

Even to the point that he could not forgive. He

was harming people and hiding it. He kept saying that it was for Ling Fengxun, but in fact it was still for himself.

It wasn't that she liked Ling Fengxun, but she was thinking about her own future. She thought that as long as Ling Fengxun could treat her cousin better, she could also enjoy the glory of a princess.

But all this is impossible now.

She will pay the price for her stupidity and viciousness.

There was a hint of confusion in Ling Fengxun's eyes.

"Why is Xiao Xier looking at me like this? Is it possible that what I said is wrong?"

An Yunxi couldn't help but want to laugh, and even her shoulders trembled a few times.

"Hehe, what you said to the prince is right."

That's the truth.

But if Chu Wanran outside heard the truth, would she be so angry that she would die?

Then, there would be no need to punish her.

It was not until dawn that Yingfeng brought the doctor up from the foot of the mountain.

There was still some blood on his body. Although he was not seriously injured, it was obvious that he had been through a big battle.

The doctor was so scared that his legs were weak. Who would have thought that he would come here to treat patients and see so many corpses under the mountain?

The old doctor walked into the room trembling.

After coming in to check the Queen Mother's pulse, Ling Fengyan asked Ying Feng.

"What's the situation outside?"

At dawn, everything had settled.

Yingfeng wiped the blood off his face and smiled, "The prince has arranged for the second prince to lead the people to guard here in advance. We are more numerous and powerful, and the other side's 2,000 troops can't fight at all. Because of heavy losses, they all retreated at dawn."

Otherwise, he really couldn't bring an ordinary person up the mountain.

This result was obviously within Lingfengxun's expectations.

If someone hadn't been sent in advance to notify the second prince and lead people to guard outside the mountain gate, the entire Liangshan Temple would have been a real bloodbath today, and everyone would have been slaughtered.

At that time, the emperor would just find an excuse, saying that it was a mountain bandit attack, and the queen mother and the regent prince died here together, and no one would be able to find evidence.

It seems that the emperor can no longer tolerate him, and intends to get rid of him as a big trouble as soon as possible.

However, the emperor probably didn't expect that all of this was within Ling Fengxun's expectations. His departure from the imperial city was the best opportunity for him to take action.

An Yunxi suddenly asked, "Prince, didn't you say before that you wanted to investigate the murderer of Liangshan Temple, and then dispatched people to seal off Liangshan Temple?"

Almost instantly, An Yunxi guessed Ling Fengxun's intention.

If there was no reason, Ling Fengxun, even as the regent, could not dispatch the emperor's direct guards.

Moreover, the guards are still led by the second prince. If they are not handled carefully, people will find evidence against the second prince and implicate him as well.

The other side sent more than 2,000 people, and the only place in the capital that could quickly dispatch more troops was the city guards. 20,000 imperial guards were stationed in the capital all year round, so it was easy to send 5,000 to

resist the mountain bandits. Ling Fengxun used the excuse of investigating the murderer of Liangshan Temple to directly dispatch 5,000 imperial guards to garrison here. Even if someone held him responsible for the arbitrary deployment of troops, he would have a perfect excuse to cover it up.

It was like this game, which was completely under the control of Ling Fengxun from the beginning.

Ling Fengxun nodded to An Yunxi.

"I know my brother can't wait to kill me, so I can only save myself. Even if no corpse is found in the back mountain, I will find a reason to send troops to seal the mountain."

An Yunxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ling Fengxun had his own ideas. She felt that such a prince really made her feel at ease.

He was calm and measured in his work and would not act rashly, which made all her worries go to waste.

How could this man feel so safe?

It was as if he could hold up even if the sky fell.

An Yunxi's mood suddenly improved, and she simply lay down. She felt that she had been worrying too much recently. Maybe it was because there was another little life in her belly, which made her heart softer, not as cold and indestructible as before.

However, this was only a change for the people she cared about, as for other people?

Let them die!

At this moment, someone came in from outside to report: "Your Highness, the Second Prince wants to see you."

Ling Fengxun glanced at An Yunxi, then took her hand and walked out of the Zen room door and into the courtyard.

The rosy clouds broke through the clouds, and the sun shone all the way down. The soldiers standing in front of Ling Fengxun were all covered in blood, and their armors were chopped into a mess.

The Second Prince was even more ferocious, with a dirty face. When he saw Ling Fengxun coming out, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly bowed and stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle Xuan!"

Ling Fengxun's eyes were cold, and his tone was calm.

"How is the battle outside?"

Ling Changxi said, "We have killed a few hundred of the two thousand bandits, and the rest have all escaped. There are more than a thousand people who left and ran in one direction. I have sent people to chase them."

Ling Fengxun nodded slightly, "After finding them, those who surrender will not be killed. As for the leader, bring his head to see me directly."

"Yes, I have done it according to your instructions!"

Ling Changxi obeyed Ling Fengxun's orders very much.

From that day, when he knelt in front of the Regent King, he had already stood on this side.

He chose a path to oppose the prince.

Either the crown prince dies and he ascends the throne, or he dies and the crown prince takes over, there is no other choice.

Who caused his mother and the queen to quarrel to the point of death?

Ling Changxi told Ling Fengxun in detail what happened last night.

"The man who led those people dressed as bandits to attack Liangshan Temple was Chen Xu, the son of Chen Liu, the Duke of Zhenguo. His eldest son died that day, and it was you, the emperor's uncle, who killed him personally."

Ling Fengxun heard this, his expression did not change.

"Besides this, have you found anything else unusual?"

Ling Changxi shook his head: "After defeating those bandits, everything has calmed down. Don't worry, Uncle Xuan, I will bring people to escort you and the Queen Mother back to Beijing in person."

"You can leave."

"Yes."

Ling Changxi waved his hand and asked everyone to follow him out.

An Yunxi listened to these reports on the side, with a solemn look in her eyes.

She pulled Ling Fengxuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "The emperor's siege this time has failed. I'm afraid there will be traps waiting for us after we return to Beijing."

"Don't worry, I will be careful. As long as I win this duel, Xiao Xier will marry me."
