1763 Anger, worthy of being the seed of that man

In Feng Qingchen's eyes, Lan Jiuqing's death was the death of a living person. The masked, cold and self-sustaining man disappeared and would never appear again, let alone lend a helping hand to her when she needed help.

But for some others, Lan Jiuqing’s death had nothing to do with people. He only represented the disappearance of a force, representing that the Ninth Prince had abandoned the power of Liancheng and the old subordinates of the previous dynasty.

Lan Jiuqing is a well-known master among the younger generation and holds a high status in the martial arts world. He died unexpectedly while chasing Nanling Jinfan, so this matter naturally could not be concealed.

In fact, Bu Jingyun had never thought of hiding it. According to the Ninth Uncle, this matter should be left to nature and everyone who should know should know it.

Among those who should know, naturally, is City Lord Lian.

City Lord Lian was an insider. After learning about the death of "Lan Jiuqing", City Lord Lian was completely devoid of the strength he had when facing Feng Qingchen. He instantly looked dozens of years older, and his cloudy eyes were filled with regret. But it was no use regretting now.

The Ninth Prince's abandonment of the identity of Lan Jiuqing meant that he had officially broken with Liancheng and the forces of the previous dynasty. The Ninth Prince would never be soft on Liancheng again.

The situation between Liancheng and the Ninth Prince finally came to this!

Although City Lord Lian felt extremely sad, he also understood that the Ninth Prince was not someone they could control. The Ninth Prince had abandoned them, and they had no other choice but to assist Lan Jingyang wholeheartedly.

City Lord Lian sighed heavily and asked people to tell this news to those people who wholeheartedly supported Lan Jiuqing and looked down on Lan Jingyang, asking them to change their minds and no longer have to pin their hopes on Lan Jiuqing.

In this way, the internal unity was achieved, but... when the city lord thought of Lan Jingyang's temperament, he couldn't help but shake his head.

She has high aspirations but low skills, and has always lived in the glory of the past, thinking that she is nobler than anyone else, but in fact, she is a person who cannot be seen in the light. She looks down on him, but has to rely on the identity of the young master of Liancheng given by him to survive.

If it weren't for the insistence of the eldest princess, he would rather see Lan Jiuqing take the throne. Lan Jiuqing embodied the hard work of all of them. He was domineering and strong, and was the only choice for the founding emperor. But unfortunately... the eldest princess mentioned blood relationship and the direct lineage of the Lan family every day, and they had no choice.

"Okay, okay, now that you've grown wings, just take care of us old guys." Many people in Liancheng still support the Ninth Prince, but their voices are too weak. They are afraid of the eldest princess in their hearts. In addition, Lan Jingyang's bloodline is more recent, so they are undecided.

In the eyes of this group of old guys, even if they couldn't make up their minds, they would abandon the Ninth Uncle and support Lan Jingyang, instead of being thrown away without hesitation like now, like some dirty thing.

The Ninth Prince threw them away without even saying hello, so you can imagine how angry these people were. The most angry among them was the eldest princess.

The eldest princess definitely did not want to fall out with the Ninth Prince so early. How could she use the Ninth Prince to accomplish her goals then?

"You are capable of causing trouble but not accomplishing anything. If it weren't for you, how could things have come to this point? Do you have a brain? You actually told the Cui family about Feng Qingchen's identity. Has your brain been eaten by a pig? Don't you know what kind of people the Cui family is? What? You also want to be adopted by the Cui family and have children for them?" The eldest princess vented her anger on Lan Jingyang.

To the outside world, she had to act proudly in front of the old people in Liancheng and couldn't let them see her regret.

"Aunt..." Lan Jingyang was extremely aggrieved: "This is not good. In this way, we will be united and there will be no more disputes. In the future, the old members of Liancheng will be able to work together to help my nephew take the position, instead of arguing endlessly every time something happens like now, and they push it away when we ask them to contribute."

"Help you get the throne? Humph..." The eldest princess sneered, "What can we use to help you get the throne? With Liancheng's few troops, if Liancheng had the ability, he would have helped your father get the throne long ago, and it would never be your turn."

"Aunt, things have come to this point. It's useless for you to blame me. I don't want this to happen. Who would have known that Dong Lingjiu would be so cruel and abandon me without caring about everything Liancheng has done for him." Lan Jingyang was also full of hatred in his heart. In the eyes of the Ninth Prince, the power of the former dynasty that he had been thinking about was nothing more than something that could be given up at will. He would not be happy even if he got it now.

This was not something he snatched from the Ninth Uncle, but something that the Ninth Uncle didn't want. As a result, Lian Cheng's status in Lan Jingyang's heart was greatly reduced.

"Cruel? You're right, he is indeed cruel. Arrogant, ruthless, decisive, and ruthless. He leaves no room for man's mercy. He is worthy of being that man's son. He is as proud to the core as that man." When the eldest son mentioned "that man", his face was distorted and his eyes were filled with love and hate.

"He who cuts off his own arm is as brave as a warrior. With such courage, you will surely achieve great things. That child is very good, very good..." A tear and fragility flashed in the eldest princess' eyes, but it soon disappeared.

Turning to look at Lan Jingyang, she was once again the arrogant and cold princess of the former dynasty: "If you have half of his ability and broken hands, I will die with my eyes closed."

"Aunt, how can my nephew be inferior to him?" Lan Jingyang was unwilling to accept it and said angrily: "No matter what, my nephew was also raised by you, aunt. No matter how bad he is, he is still better than Dong Lingjiu."

A child who was born by a mother but not raised by her can be compared to him.

"The child I personally raised?" The eldest princess looked at Lan Jingyang with disappointment and sneered, "The child I raised with great effort is not as good as that man's. That man did nothing. Dong Lingjiu is still better than you."

Lan Jingyang looked disdainful, but when he met the eldest princess's stern gaze, he did not dare to refute.

“Hehe…” The princess smiled sadly: “Jingyang, you said you are stronger than Dong Lingjiu. Auntie asks you, if you were in Dong Lingjiu’s position, would you easily abandon Liancheng? Throw away all the forces of the previous dynasty, or even become an enemy of them?”

"Why should you give up? Dong Lingjiu gave up Liancheng because he lacked confidence. I am confident that I can conquer Liancheng." Lan Jingyang said confidently, but the eldest princess became even more disappointed.

At this point, Jingyang still couldn't understand. Liancheng was not wholeheartedly for Donglingjiu now. Although he could still help Donglingjiu, his help was limited. And as long as Jingyang was around, Liancheng would be in even greater danger.

Rather than holding on to an uncertain force that could stab you at any time, it is better to just let it go.

Alas... The eldest princess sighed secretly, put away the accusations on her face, and said in a gentle tone: "You have grown up and have your own ideas. Auntie will not interfere with you."

Instead of hoping that Jing Yang would become as smart and capable as the Ninth Emperor's uncle, it would be better to find a suitable person for Jing Yang, let him get married earlier, and have children as soon as possible.

Originally, the eldest daughter of the owner of Hanyue Manor was suitable, but it was ruined by Jingyang. Now he can only find a suitable woman in Liancheng.

The eldest princess seemed to have aged dozens of years in one day, and her back was a little bent...
