The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine

Feng Shui is indeed a good compliment, but these four words have always been used to describe the place where the dead are buried. Even if the city lord has a good demeanor, he can't help but change his face when hearing this.

"Miss Feng, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. I, Liancheng, have no grudge against you. What is your intention in slandering Liancheng?" Lord Liancheng was determined not only not to admit Feng Qingchen's previous accusations, but also to righteously push the blame onto Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen really admired the shamelessness of City Lord Lian, and sneered: "City Lord Lian, what did I say? You said the word treasure land yourself." Without waiting for City Lord Lian to reply, he continued: "City Lord Lian actually said that I have no grudges or hatred against you. You people in Liancheng are really shameless."

"Feng Qingchen, stop slandering me." Even the city lord could remain calm when facing his aunt, but he lost his mind when provoked by Feng Qingchen's evil words.

It’s not that the City Lord was not calm, it’s just that the meaning of Feng Qingchen’s words made it impossible to remain calm.

"Slander? Every word I said is true, how can I slander you. You in Liancheng failed to kill me, so you planned to kidnap my brother. Your plan failed and you were caught on the spot by the soldiers. You still say you are innocent. Innocent? I'm afraid that even the prostitutes in the brothel are more innocent than you." Feng Qingchen fought back unceremoniously, not afraid of offending Lord Liancheng.

As long as Lan Jingyang has something to do with Liancheng, it is impossible for her to reconcile with Liancheng.

"Miss Feng, you said that I, Liancheng, sent people to ambush and kill you. You must have evidence. You are accusing me of a crime without any evidence. Do you think that I, Liancheng, am easy to bully?" Being compared to a prostitute in a brothel by Feng Qingchen, the tone of Liancheng Lord was not much better.

"Evidence?" Feng Qingchen sneered: "If I had evidence, you would still be sitting here talking to me. With the charge that you sent spies into Dongling and assassinated the noble lady of the dynasty in Dongling, Dongling would send troops to destroy your tiny Dilian City."

Feng Qingchen's words and actions showed that she did not take Lian Cheng seriously, which made Lian Chengzhu even more determined. They must stop the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen from staying together.

If the Ninth Prince succeeds in taking that position in the end, having a mistress like Feng Qingchen would definitely not be a blessing for them.

City Lord Lian was so angry that he was breathing heavily and opened his mouth to refute, but at this moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and City Lord Lian simply closed his mouth and stared at Feng Qingchen with a look of disbelief.

He, he was actually led by Feng Qingchen and completely deviated from the topic.

Damn it!

Lian City Lord had never thought that he would fall into the hands of a little girl named Feng Qingchen. The look in his eyes when he looked at Feng Qingchen was a little more profound. He restrained his anger and said with a smile: "Miss Feng, I underestimated you."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Qingchen knew that the other party had seen through his plan, but he was not angry, and just pretended to be stupid like City Lord Lian: "I don't understand what City Lord Lian said. It's getting late, so I won't keep City Lord Lian for lunch."

After saying that, he served tea to the guests. If Lord Lian was so easy to deal with, Wang Jinling would not be annoyed by him.

"I know that Miss Feng's time is precious, so I will make it short. Miss Feng, please give me a definite answer. When are you going to release the person and what are the conditions?" These words did not give Feng Qingchen a second choice but to release the person.

"This is a government matter. How can a woman like me interfere?" Feng Qingchen also played dumb. Lian City Lord laughed and said, "Miss Feng, you are the victim. If you don't sue, I will take care of it myself."

Feng Qingchen lowered his eyes and said, "The city lord has already said that I am the victim, so how could I not sue?"

“So, Miss Feng has made up her mind to fight me to the end?” City Lord Lian had already revealed his true colors when he said this. Seeing that Feng Qingchen did not respond, he threatened directly, “Miss Feng is smart and should understand that victory or defeat in a war is determined by many factors. It is very unlikely that the Ninth Prince can turn the tide and save the collapsing building by himself.

Although the Ninth Prince personally led the expedition to Night City, it does not mean that the Ninth Prince will definitely win. If something unexpected happens on the battlefield, causing the Ninth Prince to lose the first battle he launched when he took office, the Ninth Prince’s prestige in Dongling will be greatly reduced.”

"Liancheng has a very good relationship with the Ninth Uncle. I think Liancheng will definitely help the Ninth Uncle. The Ninth Uncle will definitely win this battle." This is why Wang Jinling urged the Ninth Uncle to come back and talk to Ye Cheng.

Just as City Lord Lian said, Dongling must win the battle to attack Yecheng, even if it comes at a huge cost, and win in front of the world.

"There is a difference between relatives and strangers. Jingyang is the young city lord of Liancheng. It is understandable that he would do something irrational for the safety of the young city lord." The words "there is a difference between relatives and strangers" show the position of the city lord Liancheng. If the Ninth Prince heard this, he would probably be even more disappointed in Liancheng.

No matter how well the Ninth Prince did or how much he sacrificed for the previous dynasty, all his contributions were wiped out because of a simple statement of relationship.

It was a pity that the Ninth Prince was not there, and Feng Qingchen didn't know about it. He could only sigh in his heart. Every word of the City Lord was flawless, and he used both soft and hard tactics. It was really impossible to do anything to him.

Fortunately, Feng Qingchen had already figured it out, and was planning to let City Lord Lian take Lan Jingyang away, so the two of them said a few more words that secretly mocked Dao Feng, and after squeezing a lot of benefits out of City Lord Lian, Feng Qingchen finally gave in, but there were two additional conditions.

One was to ask Liancheng to evacuate the spies planted in Dongling. The other was that Lan Jingyang could never enter Dongling without the court's permission. Once he entered Dongling's territory, Dongling had the right to kill him.

The Lord of Lian City agreed to the first one without hesitation. Feng Qingchen didn't know how many strongholds Lian City had in Dongling. They could just withdraw two of them as a token of their respect. But the second one was too embarrassing.

"My young master from Liancheng, don't even have the qualifications to step into Dongling?" Although the Lord of Liancheng did not sound aggressive, his momentum was much stronger than before.

"Of course, but I'm afraid your young master will harm my life again." Feng Qingchen said bluntly, leaving City Lord Lian unable to respond.

"These two conditions are indispensable and cannot be compromised. If Lord Lian thinks my demands are too harsh, then we will settle the matter on the battlefield." Feng Qingchen would also use the same threat.

Liancheng could indeed persuade other cities to send troops, but how could other cities fight for Liancheng without any benefit? Liancheng had to pay a huge price to intervene in the battle between Dongling and Yecheng.

Liancheng would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

Sure enough, City Lord Lian only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Feng Qingchen's conditions. Feng Qingchen was very satisfied with the result. When seeing City Lord Lian off, he kindly added, "City Lord Lian, if Mr. Jingyang shows up in Dongling secretly in the future, don't come to your house again if anything happens to him. He brought this upon himself."

"Don't worry, Miss Feng. It's not easy for our Liancheng's young master to get into trouble." Lord Liancheng was furious. Although he got Feng Qingchen to let go of the people at once, Liancheng lost all his face.

In addition to ceding land and paying compensation, they had to agree to two extremely embarrassing demands from Feng Qingchen. However, they happened to have a grasp on Dong Ling's weakness, and Feng Qingchen also had a grasp on their weakness.

Liancheng couldn't afford to delay, and they didn't dare to start a war easily. Most importantly, they didn't dare to break up with the Ninth Prince easily...
