The Second Sword Returns to the Central Plains Chapter 65: Negotiations (1)
As the carriage was bumping, Changfeng sat in the carriage and thought about what Dugu Changyun was meant tonight? Is it really as simple as attracting and forming an alliance in the name of Kou Xiping? Or did he really have an intention to Lin Qimeng. Thinking of this, Changfeng turned his attention to Lin Qimeng's face, trying to find the answer he wanted from Lin Qimeng's face.
After drinking a few glasses of water and wine, Lin Qimeng's pretty face was as if it was covered with red rouge. There was no need to disguise in the carriage. The two of them sat next to each other again. The fragrance revealed by Lin Qimeng's cherry lips was mixed with a hint of alcohol. She was shy and angry, and could make Changfeng confused and fascinated.
Changfeng hugged Lin Qimeng and kissed the big red cherry lips that were about to drip out of water. Lin Qimeng never thought that Changfeng would attack her in the carriage. Before the screams could come out of his throat, they were replaced by the "woof" twisted tongues.
The sky was dark and the earth was getting dark, and when the emotions were moving like fire, Changfeng's keen flow consciousness suddenly felt two faint murderous auras coming towards the carriage he was riding in.
Two roars, two sword lights attacked from both sides from left to right, as fast as lightning, and it seemed that they wanted to kill with one sword.
Jia Da was driving and didn't know that the carriage was attacked. Although Niu Gao in the passenger seat noticed the crisis, his light skills were not good, and his speed was not as fast as the sneak attacker. Seeing that the two sword lights of the sneak attack were about to pierce the carriage. Although it was a beat slower, he pulled up his two axes and chopped them like one of them.
The Changfeng in the carriage reacted so quickly. He slapped the seat with one palm and picked up Lin Qimeng. It was like a crane soaring into the sky and flew into the air. After a quick glance, the carriage he was riding in had been twisted into wood pieces by two sharp swords.
When Niu Gao moved, Jia Da naturally noticed it. He quickly tied the reins. The carriage stopped with a rattle. He was about to turn around and look back. A sharp sword was slashed at his neck, and he was shocked. No matter what, he raised his head and fell down, avoided the sword, and was scared to sweat!
The sneak attacker who was chopped by Niu Gao's two axes was also very sensitive. He abandoned the sword in his hand and waved his hand and shot a white true energy at Niu Gao's denomination. Niu Gao hurriedly took back an axe to block the denomination, and the other axe cut the sneak attacker's sword in half.
"Cold Ice True Qi!" Changfeng was so familiar with this white true Qi. He was from the Nangong family and a woman. Could it be the two sisters Nangong Ping and Nangong Yan?
If he missed a blow, the sneak attacker quickly pulled away and disappeared into the two dark alleys on the left and right. It seemed that he had planned it for a long time!
Niu Gao's axe was hit by the ice true energy. In an instant, an extremely cold air flow came from the axe to his arm, and almost couldn't even hold the axe. He was so angry that he roared and wanted to chase after him. Changfeng hugged Lin Qimeng and fell from the air, shouting to Niu Gao: "Niu Gao. Don't chase after him!"
Niu Gao did not dare to disobey Changfeng's orders, and turned around with his two axes in disappointment. Jia Da was also scared to death. Fortunately, the other party did not continue to take action, otherwise he would not be able to escape. Fortunately, there were no casualties and the carriage was destroyed, so he had to walk back.
Lin Qimeng secretly annoyed that she was not alert enough. If Changfeng hadn't reacted faster just now, she would have become a dead soul under the sword. Lin Qimeng had rarely had the opportunity to fight when practicing martial arts. Her experience in facing the enemy was only in the theoretical stage, so she naturally felt this kind of emotion.
Changfeng saw Lin Qimeng's shocked look. He apologized in his heart that the Nangong family was here to cause trouble for him. He didn't want to implicate Lin Qimeng, so he grabbed Lin Qimeng's hand tightly and said, "Qimeng, you're scared, let's go back."
Changfeng and Lin Qimeng did not come back to the banquet. The girls in the mansion, Guo Huai, Cheng Xiuyun and others had no intention of sleeping, and gathered in the living room to wait for them.
Changfeng instructed Niu Gao and Jia Da to hide the assassination so that the girls would not be worried again after hearing this.
It was said that he was attending a banquet. In addition to drinking a few glasses of wine, his stomach was empty and he enjoyed the skills of Shui Ningxin. After the girls dispersed, Changfeng called Guo Huai, Cheng Xiuyun, Leng Ao and Zhao Gang to his study, and carefully described the story of attending the banquet, asking them to help guess what purpose was hidden behind Dugu Changyun's doing.
After hearing the banquet, Guo Huai said, "The second prince Dugu Changyun, the current queen mother, is the most beloved prince of the earth. Because he has the bloodline of the Kou family, he can be regarded as the nephew of the general Kou Tianyun in terms of seniority. His biological mother and Kou Tianyun are cousins, but they cannot be loved by His Majesty today. He is good at women. In addition to the official concubine, he has seven concubines, concubines, and maids."
Cheng Xiuyun also nodded and said, "I have also heard that the second prince once had a arrogant saying of bringing the world's beauty back to his private house."
Changfeng was stunned. He didn't expect that his second brother would have such bold words, so he nodded in understanding.
Leng Ao had never been to the capital, and he didn't know why the second prince was, so he didn't say anything. So Changfeng's eyes turned to Zhao Gang's face, whose expression had not changed, "Mr. Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Gang hurriedly bowed and said, "I am no longer the general manager of the Blood Eagle Land. Please call him "Zhao Gang"."
Guo Huai's face changed slightly, and then he calmed down. Changfeng didn't expect Zhao Gang to speak to him like this. Then he thought about it and immediately said relieved: "What do Brother Zhao think?"
Zhao Gang did this and wanted to test Changfeng's mind. Is it worthy of his loyalty? This is the first time he has talked with Changfeng face to face since he did things for Changfeng. In the past, Guo Huai or letters issued orders to him. After a try, he found that Changfeng was indeed broad-minded. Not only did he not look displeased, but he also gave him considerable respect. He immediately bowed and said, "I am the subordinate Zhao Gang who pays homage to the lord and goes through fire and water for the lord, and I will never refuse!"
"Brother Zhao, are you?" Changfeng was puzzled and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Gang up and said.
"Just just now, I'm interested in temptation, so please forgive me!" Zhao Gang didn't stand up immediately and said.
"Ah!" Changfeng quickly understood Zhao Gang's intention and helped Zhao Gang up with force and said, "Brother Zhao, please come up, we will be good brothers in the future."
"Thank you lord!" Zhao Gang bowed and returned to his seat to sit down. At this point, Zhao Gang had truly returned to his heart.
Before Changfeng could speak, Zhao Gang took the initiative: "I carefully investigated Dugu Changyun and found that he was not as simple as he seemed lustful. People in the world thought that his ambition was to collect beautiful women. In fact, he was far more powerful than women, and he could not touch any trace of his work. He was a person who was difficult to figure out."
Zhao Gang's evaluation of Dugu Changyun was so high, which surprised Changfeng. He asked: "Then Zhao Gang, as you see, Dugu Changyun invited me and Qi Meng tonight in the name of Kou Xiping. What is the purpose of what he did?"
Zhao Gang analyzed: "The first possibility is that the second highman really wants to recruit the lord. He is afraid that others will take the lead, so he uses this impatient method; the second possibility is that he is testing the lord, and no one has been dependent on the river channel. It seems that the river channel is still like this this time, and he deliberately shows it for the lord."
Everyone in the room heard Zhao Gang's two possibilities and thought intently. After a while, Changfeng spoke by himself: "The two possibilities Zhao Gang analyzed are possible, but I think this second one is the most likely."
Guo Huai smiled slightly and took over the conversation and said, "This is really something that subordinates are worried about. If he does this on purpose, temptation is certainly one of the purposes, but the purpose behind the temptation is complicated. The lord must be careful."
Changfeng nodded and said, "What Mr. Guo said makes sense. I have stepped on this muddy water with one foot. This is just the beginning tonight. Be careful in the future."
This matter will be put aside for the time being. Changfeng wanted to leave Leng Ao to discuss the matter alone, so that everyone else could go to rest. When he saw Cheng Xiuyun's desire to speak, he suspected: "Aunt Xiu, do you have something to do?"
Why is it okay? Changfeng has never greeted her elder since he entered Beijing. He was always dissatisfied with Changfeng's reputation, but Cao Ruifeng himself didn't mind. She was an elder and had nothing to say, but he was not attentive. Women were taken one by one, and now they are related to Zui Furong, one of the four famous actors. She has been running a pleasure boat for so many years, how could she not know about the four famous actors? Each one has a huge hidden force behind it, and none of them can be provoked by the river, so she was worried and wanted to speak but stopped.
"Three days later, Zui Furong officially took the stage. She asked Aunt Xiu to tell you that you would be invited to the audience on the day of the stage." Cheng Xiuyun couldn't figure out the relationship between Zui Furong and Changfeng, so he had to talk about the matter first.
When Changfeng heard Zui Furong's name, he was overwhelmed and said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me whether she is on stage or not. Aunt Xiu please tell her and just say I won't go."
After hearing what Changfeng said, Cheng Xiuyun felt half of her heart, her face turned a little better, and she went down to rest.
Changfeng left Leng Ao to explain the matter he was considering carefully to Leng Ao. Leng Ao thought for a while and agreed. Changfeng taught him the method of changing voice, and also described the appearance of the Master Lieyan. At the same time, he told him to calm down when encountering things and try to discuss with Dugu Qian as much as possible in the palace. Only then did he feel at ease to let him go to the date in Deyue Tower three days later.
After dealing with some things from the river, let Jia Da send them back. The night was deep and it was time to rest. There was still the fragrance of Lin Qimeng on her lips. In addition, she was also frightened tonight, so Changfeng planned to spend the night in Lin Qimeng's room and comfort her. No matter whether Dugu Changyun was testing him or not, he could see that Dugu Changyun had a chance to Lin Qimeng, and it was necessary to wake Lin Qimeng up.
