660: Winning over, the Ninth Prince is really insidious
Su Wenqing nodded very carefully. Since the Ninth Prince had reminded him, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to run into the Cui family. What he was worried about now was...
"Jiuqing, the Cui and Wang families are cooperating this time. If the Cui family takes this opportunity to win over the Wang family and make the Wang family turn to them, it will be troublesome."
Su Wenqing was certain that the Cui family's agreement to cooperate with the Wang family this time must be intended to win over the Wang family.
The Cui family is so insidious!
The Wang family turns to the Cui family?
The Ninth Prince shook his head. This was something that would never be possible. The two tigers could cooperate temporarily for their common interests because cooperation was about equality. But it was absolutely impossible for one of the two tigers to bow to the other.
Even the people from the Cui and Wang families would not bow to each other. This is the pride of the family.
Therefore, the Ninth Prince was not worried at all that the Wang family would support the Cui family, otherwise he would have stopped the cooperation between the Cui and Wang families and prevented them from getting closer.
"Wenqing, you don't need to worry about this at all. The Wang family will never support the Cui family and the people in the Cui family. There can only be one top family. Both the Cui and Wang families claim to be the top family in the Jiuzhou Continent. For thousands of years, the two families have never stopped fighting secretly for this title.
If the Wang family sided with the Cui family and supported the people in the Cui family, even if they succeeded in the end, in terms of rewards and merits, the Wang family would be inferior to the Cui family. After all, no matter what the Wang family did, it could not match the contributions of the Cui family.
If I were Wang Jinling, I would either not get involved in the power struggle in the Jiuzhou Continent, or if I did, I would never choose to cooperate with the Cui Family. On the contrary, I would support those who are opposed to the Cui Family. Only in this way can I completely suppress the Cui Family and become the head of the aristocratic families.
Wang Jinling is a smart and cautious person. There is no rush to win over the Wang family, and Wang Jinling will not take sides at this time. When this continent is in chaos, Wang Jinling will naturally make a choice. "
In the struggle for imperial power, no one can really stay out of it, especially for the aristocratic families who hold huge resources and wealth. It is necessary to take sides. This is the time to test your vision. If you choose the right person, you can rise to the top, but if you choose the wrong one, you will lose everything.
Su Wenqing rarely obeyed others, but he completely obeyed what the Ninth Uncle said. He absolutely believed what the Ninth Uncle said that the Wang family would not support the Cui family.
Su Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief, collected the information on disaster relief on the table, and took out a piece of paper with a map drawn on it and handed it to the Ninth Uncle: "This is the map to enter Xuanxiao Palace. Jingyun sent a message that he has successfully entered Xuanxiao Palace and is looking for the whereabouts of the Jiuzhou map.
In addition, the master of Xuanyi Valley healed Xuanfei's face. Now when Xuanfei is silent, she looks exactly like Feng Qingchen. The wife of the master of Xuanxiao Palace also looks very similar to Feng Qingchen. Bu Jingyun heard the master call his wife Yimo. "
Su Wenqing really didn’t know who the name “Yi Mo” was before, but how could he not know her now? Feng Qingchen’s mother was called Lu Yi Mo.
Su Wenqing does not think that the woman named "Yi Mo" in Xuanxiao Palace is Feng Qingchen's mother. You have to know that Xuan Fei is half a year older than Feng Qingchen. No matter how powerful Lu Yi Mo is, it is impossible for her to give birth to two babies in a year.
"Yi Mo?" The Ninth Prince sneered and knocked on the table: "Let Bu Jingyun send someone to investigate the identity of Madam Yi Mo. After finding out, don't report it. Find a way to let the Palace Master of Xuanxiao Palace know." He has no grudge against Xuanxiao Palace. All he wants is Xuanxiao Palace's map of Jiuzhou, so... let Xuanxiao Palace be in chaos, the more chaotic the better.
"I'm afraid it's difficult. No one knew the origins of Madam Feng. We only know that she was a pariah, and was chosen by General Feng to marry him. Then she accompanied General Feng in his battles." Su Wenqing had sent people to investigate early in the morning, but unfortunately there was no result.
"If we can't find out, let her tell it herself, and let Bu Jingyun reveal the news about General Feng and Madam Feng to the Palace Master of Xuanxiao Palace." Fake is fake, no matter how real it is, it will be exposed.
The woman in Xuanxiao Palace is definitely not Lu Yimo. If she was really Lu Yimo, Xuan Shaoqi would not have come to find Feng Qingchen.
It’s a pity that the person involved is in the dark. The Palace Master of Xuanxiao Palace probably didn’t think about it. After all, no one would casually doubt his wife.
It doesn’t matter. Since the Palace Master of Xuanxiao Palace doesn’t think about it that way, he will give it a push.
After explaining to Su Wenqing the follow-up matters and how to proceed, the Ninth Prince did not stay for a moment and rushed to the place where he had agreed to meet Wang Jinling.
Wang Jinling had been waiting there early. When the Ninth Uncle arrived, Wang Jinling had already finished his second pot of tea. Seeing the Ninth Uncle coming, Wang Jinling took out an unused cup, poured a glass of water, and handed it to the Ninth Uncle: "The tea is cold, please don't dislike it, Ninth Uncle."
On the surface, he was pouring tea for the Ninth Uncle, but in reality he was telling the Ninth Uncle that he was late. He could more or less guess the reason why the Ninth Uncle was late.
In this world, apart from Feng Qingchen, who else can keep the Ninth Prince?
"Good tea." The tea was cold and extremely bitter, but the Ninth Prince drank it without changing his expression and praised it against his will.
This was telling Wang Jinling that it didn't matter whether he came early or late, what mattered was that things went as smoothly as usual and did not affect their cooperation.
"If the Ninth Prince likes it, drink two more cups." Wang Jinling picked up the kettle again and filled it for the Ninth Prince. The cold tea tasted even worse than cold water.
Since it doesn't matter whether it's early or late, then you can go back later. I want to see how long those people in the clan prison can delay for you.
Wang Jinling had a big smile on his face, and you couldn't tell that he had any bad intentions. He was a typical example of a man who was cursed with evil deeds and had a short life.
Even if the Ninth Prince was anxious, he would not show it. He sat there steadily, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "After the heavy snow, I will invite you to come to my house to taste tea."
After the heavy snow, he will come out of the clan prison, and he will take action in Xuanxiao Palace personally.
"Jin Ling will pray that the snow will stop soon." This means that he agrees to wait until the Ninth Prince is released from prison before taking action against Xuanxiao Palace.
Although Wang Jinling did not like the Ninth Uncle, he had to admit that the Ninth Uncle was very capable. With him commanding the battle of Xuanxiao Palace, their losses would be smaller.
The agreement was reached, and the Ninth Prince began to talk about his plan: "Xuanxiao Palace is necessary for his existence." In other words, he did not intend to destroy Xuanxiao Palace. What did Wang Jinling think?
"It's just a martial arts sect, so just teach them a lesson. Xuan Shaoqi is not bad." If he keeps it, then keep it. If he destroys Xuan Xiao Palace, Feng Qingchen will feel guilty towards Xuan Shaoqi. It doesn't matter if Xuan Xiao Palace exists, but the Palace Master must be replaced. He doesn't want to spend his time on Xuan Xiao Palace, it's so boring.
When Wang Jinling said Xuan Shaoqi was good, he was not praising him at all, but saying that he was a good person to be the Palace Master.
On this point, the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling reached an agreement. They did not intend to destroy Xuanxiao Palace. Not only that, they also wanted to help Xuan Shaoqi purge dissidents.
In this battle against Xuanxiao Palace, the person who will apparently benefit the most will be Xuan Shaoqi, and of course the busiest person will also be Xuan Shaoqi.
The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling looked at each other tacitly and nodded.
The two foxes had a tacit understanding and agreed to take advantage of this opportunity to force Xuan Shaoqi to return to Xuanxiao Palace.
By then, they will definitely return Xuan Shaoqi to the Xuanxiao Palace, which looks glamorous on the surface but is actually in chaos, and let him be busy to see if he still has time to stay in Feng Mansion.
The two reached an agreement, and the Ninth Prince used the disaster relief issue to test Wang Jinling. Wang Jinling vaguely guessed the Ninth Prince's intention and neither agreed nor agreed.
The Ninth Prince didn't say anything more. After drinking the cold tea in the cup, he left, leaving Wang Jinling alone, looking at the night sky in deep thought.
He had to think deeply.
Just now, the Ninth Prince told him his ambition, and he couldn't pretend that he didn't know.
Dong Lingjiu, no wonder you can tolerate the emperor sitting in that position, it turns out that what you want is not Dong Ling but the whole world.
Recreate the glory of the previous dynasty, Dong Lingjiu, will that person be you?
Wang Jinling understood that he had no chance of sleeping tonight. The bombshell left by the Ninth Prince was enough to keep him awake for several days, because a few days ago, the Cui family had revealed their intention to win over the Wang family.
The Wang and Cui families can cooperate temporarily, but they definitely cannot cooperate for a long time. Wang Jinling does not want to seek death. Even if the Cui family gives in step by step and offers conditions that are crazy enough, he will not agree.
With the Cui family's promise and the Ninth Prince's words, it seems that the Wang family can't escape. The world is divided and united, and united and divided. The four countries have been in chaos for less than a hundred years, and who can really escape in this chaotic world?
Wang Jinling found that the burden on him was getting heavier and heavier. He was the one in charge of the Wang family. If he was not careful, the entire Wang family would be doomed and he would become the sinner of the Wang family.
Boom... Flames shot up into the sky. Less than a quarter of an hour after the Ninth Prince left, a huge fire broke out in the direction of the clan prison. The fire snakes rushed up to the sky, illuminating half of the imperial city. The people around the prison were awakened by the fire and ran out one after another, crying and shouting...
"The fire is coming, the fire is coming..."
"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly."
…
The silent night suddenly became noisy. The jailers in the clan prison rushed to fetch water to put out the fire. Only the four guards sent by the emperor, upon seeing the situation, did not try to put out the fire but rushed into the prison to see if the Ninth Prince was there.
If the Ninth Prince died in the fire or disappeared in the fire, the emperor would definitely be the one to take the blame.
The four of them didn't care about the burning fire and rushed into the prison. When they saw the Ninth Prince sitting there safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief: "Ninth Prince, please..."
Even with such a big fire, he was still able to remain calm. They admired the Ninth Prince's magnanimity.
The Ninth Prince raised his head, glanced coldly at the person in front of him, gave a sarcastic smile, then stood up and walked out calmly.
Even though the Ninth Prince said nothing, the four guards still lowered their heads in shame. This fire looked like a conspiracy against the Ninth Prince, or someone wanted to burn him alive...
