Chapter 530: The Luo family rebelled?
With Madam Luo's coming here to cause trouble, the whole court was talking about it, and the original suspicions were magnified.
In fact, as long as Jin Cheng announced at this time that the military power had been taken back, everyone would know how powerful he was. However, his uncle had not been released yet, Luo Jingfeng would feel very embarrassed and would never reconcile with him again.
So Jin Cheng did not move and continued to talk with his uncle. In addition to reading memorials, he would also tell Luo Jingfeng many interesting stories about his school days in his spare time, forcing Luo Jingfeng to enter his life.
Luo Jingfeng's attitude was softening, but he couldn't afford to lose face, so he either ignored Jin Cheng or spoke coldly to her.
Fortunately, Jin Cheng had already figured out his temper, and every time he was coldly criticized, she never got angry, but instead smiled and threw sugar-coated bullets: "Uncle, you are so good to me!"
Luo Jingfeng was shocked: "..."
The twelve-year-old nephew taught enthusiastically: "Uncle, you should learn to express yourself bravely, just like me. If you like someone, you should say you like him/her. If you care about someone, you should say you care about him/her. Instead of doing good things and then saying something harsh, many people will misunderstand that you are a bad person."
Luo Jingfeng sneered: "Just because he said something unpleasant, you can't tell that he did a good thing. What's the point of explaining to him? Stupid man."
Jin Cheng disagreed and began to argue with him vigorously: "That's not right! No matter what it is, once someone says it, it can have many different meanings. For example, if I keep my uncle here now, the officials will think that I'm jealous of your military power and want the military token. But uncle, you gave me the military token a month ago, so this is not right. As for the real reason why I kept my uncle here...of course it's because I love him!"
Luo Jingfeng pointed at the iron cage with a twitching mouth and said, "You call this keeping me? You call this a lock! To keep me, both parties must be willing. Do you think I am willing?"
Jin Cheng walked to the iron cage, sat on the ground, and said to him calmly, "Uncle, do you understand my feelings now? You killed those failed students behind my back and intercepted my memorial to the King of Zhennan. Did you consider my feelings?"
Luo Jingfeng had always treated Cheng'er as a child in the past and thought that the way a child handled the situation was immature. However, after he made the decision on his own, even though Cheng'er was a little angry, she would quickly forget about her temper and would not take it too seriously.
I didn't expect that he cared so much.
He cared so much that he wanted to take action against his own uncle.
The two people were facing each other very close, with only a few iron bars between them.
Luo Jingfeng suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.
"Dang!" Jin Cheng's body was pressed against the iron cage.
This was the first time in more than forty days that Jin Cheng was so close to him, so close that there were only two of them in the hall, and he was the weakest person outside the cage.
Jin Cheng's face turned red from being pinched. He couldn't speak and could only reach out and pat Luo Jingfeng's arm, but his ability was minimal. This feeling was very uncomfortable, but it was his second time to experience this, the last time also being thanks to his uncle.
But uncle, are you really going to kill me?
Luo Jingfeng also asked himself the same question.
All those who betrayed him were torn into pieces by him, without exception. No matter how nice his nephew spoke, he was still a little traitor, and Luo Jingfeng could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.
But... the child's neck is thin and fragile. Just a slight twist and the little bastard who locked him up here and tortured him so much would no longer exist.
Luo Jingfeng was very upset, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He loosened his grip and pushed the child: "Get away, don't show up in front of me."
Jin Cheng lay on the ground and coughed loudly. When he recovered, he forced a smile and said, "Uncle, you are reluctant to kill me. You used less force than the last time you tested me. I even thought of my last will."
Luo Jingfeng said coldly: "Don't come near me again, or I may not be able to do it again next time."
Jin Cheng returned to his previous position and said provocatively, "I don't believe that my uncle is willing to kill Cheng Er. How about you try pinching him again?"
Luo Jingfeng glared at him angrily.
The child still had that smiling face.
I was so angry that I couldn't breathe smoothly.
The little devil won the bet this time, and he was in a better mood: "Uncle, I will just treat it as you just venting your anger. After this, we will write it off. I won't hate you for being so self-willed and disrespectful to me in the past, and you won't hate me for locking you up here, okay?"
Luo Jingfeng didn't want to talk.
A pair of pitch-black pupils just stared at him without blinking, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Jin Cheng grabbed the iron cage and took the initiative to say again: "Uncle, we both made mistakes. You made the mistake first, and I couldn't convince you, so I had to resort to this desperate measure to lock you up. But I don't want to hurt you, I just want you to listen to me carefully. From now on... from now on, let's be uncle and nephew, okay? I will no longer do things you don't want to do, and you must respect my opinions and stop treating me like a child, okay?"
Luo Jingfeng didn't know how to answer.
Intellectually: He should draw a line between himself and this brat.
Emotionally: He couldn't let it go, no matter what he did.
This was his lifelong weakness.
The proud Duke of Protectorate would never admit this, so he would not answer Jin Cheng's straightforward question.
Until Buyan hurried in from outside with an anxious look on his face.
Jin Cheng asked in surprise: "Why don't you say anything? This is the first time I see you so nervous."
Buyan glanced at Luo Jingfeng and tried to organize his words: "Your Majesty, the Luo family... rebelled."
When these words came out, not to mention Jin Cheng was shocked.
Even Luo Jingfeng asked in surprise: "Who is the leader?"
He has been trying to figure out who assassinated Cheng'er in the hunting grounds. Has he finally surfaced?
Jin Cheng quickly stood up and said, "How could this happen! My aunt and Luo Ji just returned, how could the Luo family rebel? Did the King of Zhennan lead his troops to the capital?"
He replied truthfully: "I didn't see the King of Zhennan. The Luo family is now led by General Xiaofeng. He declared to the outside world that the emperor detained meritorious officials, chilling the hearts of the soldiers and the people, and he is not worthy of being the emperor..."
"He wants me to release the Duke of Huguo?" Jin Cheng guessed that this was another way of pleading for Luo Jingfeng, just like Mrs. Luo did.
Bu Yan shook his head: "I don't know, he didn't say."
"He didn't say?" Jin Cheng was even more stunned.
Luo Jingfeng had already figured it out. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's just a cover. He is just dissatisfied with his position as a general and simply wants to rebel."
General Xiaofeng's full name is Zhao Feng. He is the most powerful general under Luo Jingfeng. He is very good at charging into the enemy line. In just a few years, he was able to climb to a position second only to Luo Jingfeng. However, he is cruel and unscrupulous in doing things, which makes him hated by his colleagues.
In the past, he could not cause any trouble because of Luo Jingfeng's suppression. But now that Luo Jingfeng is trapped in the palace and cannot leave, he wants to rebel in Luo Jingfeng's name.
The army has followed Luo Jingfeng through life and death for many years and is very angry about what happened to the Duke of Protector of the Country. Once provoked, they will immediately rise up in resistance!
