Chapter 208: Intrigue (Part 2)

Zhou Chu was taught in a stern manner and nodded obediently. However, he heard Li Feng continue to say: "From tomorrow, you will work harder. Try to penetrate our Jinyiwei's organization into other military camps. You should first establish a good relationship with those middle and lower-level officers, invite them to drink and play with women, and take up the money you want. Buy them and let them do things for our Jinyiwei. Hey, I want to see Zhu Yu. If he lacks these middle and lower-level generals, can he still be so majestic?"

Zhou Chu's glasses lit up. The matter of eating and drinking with public funds was extremely generous. Especially Li Feng let him expand the Jinyiwei, which was also a great beauty, and he was looking for it. As he directly developed more subordinates of the Jinyiwei, the greater his power, and his power will definitely surpass those of Lu An and Lin Shi, the two junior brothers, to become the biggest commander.

The boat slid lightly across the dark river surface and turned into a small river channel about two miles long. However, the three-meter-wide river channel was planted with tall willow trees. Although it was already autumn, the willow branches were still densely dispersed. As soon as the boat entered, it was impossible to see it. Then I heard the sound of wooden pulp shaking through the water surface. A small boat also carved two people and rowed out from the other side of the small river channel, but people were no longer Li Feng and Zhou Chu.

I flew over the small dock, walked a few more steps forward, and immediately entered the back garden of a big mansion. The garden was full of rare flowers and trees. It was autumn and the weather became colder, but the garden was still full of strange flowers and flowers, with a scent. Although there was a little fishy smell in the aroma, it was also covered by the rich smell of pollen.

Xu Qing, with more than a dozen good men from the Jinyiwei, respectfully greeted Li Feng on the round path. Li Feng stepped forward a few steps and suddenly turned around and said, "Zhou Chu, among the disciples who followed me south this time, there is a disciple named Zhang Long who is not bad. You can take him to exercise for a while. This kid is abilities, but he is too tender. After training for a while, I will put him to the Jinyiwei in Yanjing City."

Zhou Chu nodded quickly and agreed. Xu Qing had already come up and whispered: "Sir, then Ouyang Supreme is already waiting in the secret room below."

Li Feng followed Xu Qing forward and asked casually: "How many floors of secret rooms are there underground here? Is the place enough?" He looked around and was quite satisfied with the garden. Although the crossbowmen who were ambushing in several corners could not avoid their eyes, for ordinary martial arts people, such ambushing is already fatal. He is a cultivator and cannot be compared with ordinary people. Li Feng is very clear about this.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "There are five floors underground, and the space is large enough. Originally, it was close to the Qinhuai River, and there was no way to build such a deep basement, but with the help of several immortal masters, it was easily built." Xu Qing was simply too satisfied. The five-story building underground, only in the main hall of Tianji Micheng, had such a brilliant structure. Thinking that he was the first disciple of Tianji Micheng to build such a great construction outside the mountain, he couldn't help but smile from the corner of his mouth.

He was first a disciple of Tianji Micheng, and then the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.

Li Feng glanced at Xu Qing, sighed in his heart, followed him into a secret door that suddenly opened, and went down to the deepest secret room.

The secret room, twenty feet long, ten feet wide and three feet high, does not have a single pillar. It is surrounded by fine rosewood guard panels. From the ground to the place where one person is tall, it is covered with thick purple brocade, which looks so luxurious. Above the head are twelve bright giant palace lanterns, which make the whole room brightly lit. The wool carpet on the ground shines under the bright lights, and a lazy comfort is transmitted directly from the carpet along the feet.

In the center of the room was a huge long table that was ten feet long and two feet wide, with thick Taishi Chairs placed beside it. Ouyang Supreme sat on a Taishi Chair, looking at the teacup in front of him with helpless face. After only three years of not seeing him, Ouyang Supreme seemed to be at least ten years old, and his hands, which were as steady as a mountain, were trembling a little. What ejaculated from his eyes were the anger of reluctance and resentment, and the hero's helplessness.

Needless to say, Li Feng instantly understood the situation of the old man. He sighed in a low voice, walked straight to sit opposite Ouyang Supreme, and said in a deep voice: "Senior, after we parted in Xi'an Prefecture, we have been missing for three years... This Jingnan Battle was successful, and Cangfeng Castle has made great contributions. I wonder if Senior..."

Ouyang Supreme raised his head and his face immediately filled with a cheerful smile. He laughed: "Forget it, no credit is worthy. I, Ouyang, is old, and those credits are useless if I take them. So the prince said that he wanted to be the commander of the imperial guards, and the old man had to refuse. Haha, the eldest son of the fortress lord is in his prime, especially his martial arts skills and good character..."

Li Feng slapped the table hard and shouted, "Senior Ouyang, we are old friends. Why are you hiding like this in front of me? Is the eldest son of the castle lord the fortress made a contribution? Isn't you the person who agreed to cooperate with Cangfeng Fort and our Yan Prince's Mansion in Xi'an Prefecture? Why did he change another young ignorant young man to replace you?"

Ouyang Zhizun's face instantly shriveled. He softened his powerlessly on the chair of the Grand Master and said distressedly: "Mr. Li, forget it, Jianghu, this is the case. Success and defeated the enemy, success and defeat. I, Ouyang Zhizun, secretly sent troops with a group of brothers to disturb the officers and soldiers in the northwest territory. I thought that with these contributions, there would be some good results. Who knew that Mr. Qing, the general manager of the Internal Affairs, invited the retreated lord out of the gate and easily defeated me for not obeying the fort rules."

He swallowed and said a little annoyed: "Mr. Qing was the one who was in charge of the fact that he was trying to support Emperor Yunwen. When the situation was not good, he accused his brothers of forgiving his unfaithful intentions, colluding with outsiders, and seizing the power of Cangfeng Castle. Then he immediately changed his mind and surrendered to the third prince. With the support of the lord of the fort, he took away my credit. Now the rewards have become his own team... Lord Li, do you think I was wronged? Mr. Qing's manpower was leading the army of the court to war with the Yan Palace at that time."

Li Feng was silent for a while, gently tapped the table, and asked directly: "So, Senior Ouyang, tell me a few things. First, is your castle lord the most powerful? As long as he speaks, no one dares to disobey it? Second, what power do you have in Cangfeng Castle now? Third, Mr. Qing, is he serious about going against me?"

Ouyang Supreme was silent for a long time, and then he said carefully: "Our Fortress Lord is the Fortress Lord, and Cangfeng Fort was established by him, so naturally, no one of us dares to go against his intentions. As for my power, now the Fortress Lord is going to train the young children in the Fort, saying that it would give me a relaxing job to support me. Mr. Qing, he actually intends to surrender to the eldest prince, but I have something to do with Lord Li. Mr. Qing will not be willing to surrender to the eldest prince anyway, so he..."

Li Feng fell silent. Xu Qing walked slowly with a cup of tea. Li Feng took the tea cup and suddenly asked: "Xu Qing, what should you say about this?"

Xu Qing said very simply without hesitation: "The most straightforward thing is, sir, you will kill the lord of Cangfeng Castle, Mr. Qing and all the experts who support them, so that Senior Ouyang will become the new lord. In this way, we can directly control Cangfeng Castle. But if this happens, we will probably turn against the Second Prince and the others immediately and attack each other. I don't know how many people we will involve, especially Mr. Qing and others are now officials of the court. If we commit suicide without authorization, the emperor may be unhappy."

Li Feng nodded and said, "What else?"

Xu Qing smiled: "Is there anything else? Our Jinyiwei punished some evidence of their plot to rebel, and could easily uproot them, and even the Second Prince and the others would have to take a big sin. But in this way, Senior Ouyang would also be implicated, because His Majesty's temper would rather kill the ten clans than leave a disaster."

After a pause, he smiled and knocked on the table and said, "The most ideal plan is to work with Mr. Ouyang inside and outside to slowly penetrate Cangfeng Castle. After two or three years of hard work, he took the actual power of Cangfeng Castle in his hands, and then killed several leaders in one fell swoop. Mr. Ouyang will naturally inherit the foundation of Cangfeng Castle. At that time, hehe!"

"Aren't Senior Ouyang presided over the training of young children of Cangfeng Castle? Those young children were all absorbed from the world? Then we will send the young masters trained by the Minglong Society to Cangfeng Castle. As long as they perform well, they will naturally be able to take up a high position in three or two years. When the time comes, Cangfeng Castle will not change its surname to Ouyang. Of course, in the past two or three years, Senior Ouyang can only keep a low profile and cannot show his sharpness."

Li Feng applauded and exclaimed, his face full of admiration. "Miaoji, Miaoji, Xu Qing's plan you mentioned is exactly what I think. Senior Ouyang, what do you think? After a little effort, Cangfengbao will change his surname to Ouyang in the future. This is much better than using violence to eradicate him."

Ouyang Supreme looked hesitant, and he stammered: "The Castle Lord has great kindness to me, especially... I, Ouyang Supreme, got my name, but..."

Xu Qing tilted his head and said softly: "It's not a husband if you don't have poison."

Li Feng laughed even more evilly: "Jianghu? Senior Ouyang, we are not from Jianghu. We are all officials of the imperial court. The court is ungrateful and stabbing the knife in the back is really too common. Why do you have to hesitate? At worst, we will destroy the martial arts of the castle lord in the future and let him support his grandchildren. Wouldn't it be better?"

Circles of dark ripples rippled in the room. Xu Qing saw this scene, and Ouyang Supreme did not notice it at all. Xu Qing took a step back nervously, looking at Li Feng, with a little more fear in his eyes. Ouyang Supreme, he had already clenched his fists and screamed in a deep voice: "That's it, my father will do his best. Lord Li, what do you say, do what you do. I will go back to the main hall of Cangfeng Castle in Qilian Mountains tomorrow, and you can send everyone there."

After a pause, Ouyang Supreme gave out a long breath and slowly stood up. "He is unkind, I am unrighteous, I, Ouyang Supreme Supreme, have been loyal and righteous for a lifetime, but I don't care about so much." After that, he bowed to Li Feng and walked out with big strides.

Li Feng sat in place without moving. A strange aura enveloped his whole body. The black airflow expanded and contracted, as if a monster was breathing there. Xu Qing stood six feet behind him, sweating all over his head, and did not dare to move at all. After a long time, Li Feng said quietly: "Xu Qing, I used the soul swinging technique to control Senior Ouyang's mind. Did you see it too? What do you think?"

Xu Qing was silent for a long time before bowing carefully and replied: "Those who achieve great things are not limited to minorities."

Li Feng laughed loudly, and he stood up suddenly, walked to Xu Qing, nodded and said, "Well, those who accomplish great things are not limited to minor matters. There is no absolute justice or absolute evil in this world, only absolute interests... Well, follow me and listen to my instructions, then you are my person, do you understand?" Li Feng gently patted Xu Qing's head, as if he was patting a puppy. In the wild laughter, Li Feng swept into a ball of golden light, and suddenly left, missing his whereabouts.

Xu Qing then sat on the ground, and sweat flowed down on his forehead like a stream. Fear, Li Feng just felt that he was fear. The powerful aura that enveloped everything, controlled everything, and could destroy everything, smashed everything, made Xu Qing's mind extremely nervous, and he almost collapsed. Fortunately, before he completely collapsed, Li Feng inputted a strong true energy into his body, which protected his heart.

"Maybe, the mystery of Tianji is not my best choice... In troubled times, only the strongest person is qualified to survive." Xu Qing murmured to himself, then closed his mouth tightly. He closed his eyes and exercised his skills. The sweat on his body was evaporated cleanly. He walked out slowly with his hands on his back, with a kind of stubborn arrogance. With a "click", all the palace lanterns dimmed.

On the morning of the next morning, the censor Huang Renxin came out to report: "I found out that the commander of the Jinyiwei, the first-rank general of the dynasty was ruthless and despised people's lives, plundered the people's wealth and omitted tens of thousands of acres of land for no reason. Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly and deal with it more."

The entire hall was quiet. The old eunuch Lu had a murderous aura on his face, wishing he could kill Huang Renxin with one palm; the monks and Taoist brothers looked at each other and shook their heads, as if they saw a little white rabbit provoking a tiger; Zhu Xi raised his eyes, sneered, and looked at his two brothers fiercely. Zhu Li, Zhu Ren was gloomy, stood in the general train and was contented with a look of aura on his face.

Zhu Di didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Where is the commander of the Jinyiwei Li Feng?"

Li Feng slowly walked out of the general's train, took out a large scroll from his sleeve, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Lord Huang told me to impose a heavy tax on me. I will not make any arguments. Right and wrong are tortuous. People in the world will make a decision. This is... um... um... um..." He chose the scroll for a long time before he selected a small piece of paper, saying: "This is Lord Huang's son and nephew who killed people in the downtown area. Lord Huang took care of his own child. The servants beat an old beggar to death seven days ago. Lord Huang made friends with relatives. Please ask the emperor to observe clearly."

Old Eunuch Lu waved his hand, and a eunuch in red had already rushed down and picked up the piece of paper in Li Feng's hand.

At this time, Li Feng slowly looked at the scroll in his hand, glanced at the civil and military officials, especially at Zhu Ren, and then smiled and put the scroll back on his sleeve. The civil and military officials in the court suddenly sweated coldly. Seeing this, Li Feng still had many shameful things in his hands. Which of these civil and military ministers was not corrupt and abused the law? It is easy to hide from the censors and doctors, but it would be...

Zhu Di slapped the dragon's desk with a sudden palm, and he roared: "Huang Renxin, please give me an explanation, what is this?" The piece of paper in his hand suddenly threw out, and pierced deeply into the ground in front of Huang Renxin like iron pieces. This hand immediately scared all the ministers.

What else is there to say? Huang Renxin has no actual evidence to show what Li Feng did. The witnesses had long been so scared that they were limp. How dare they come out to testify? Instead, he himself, because of false accusing the minister and at the same time, he was ordered by the angry Zhu Di to drag him out and beat him to death by sticks.

After Li Feng returned to Beijing, he fought with Zhu Yu and Zhu Ren in the first round, Li Feng won a great victory.

Zhu Li curled his lips to Li Feng without a smile. He didn't have any feelings about Huang Renxin's death. It was just a dog he bought. If the dog died, does the owner need to feel sorry for him? Zhu Li began to think seriously: "The civil and military ministers of the court cannot rely on them to fight the boss. They still have a lot of debts to pay off. They were eaten by the Jinyiwei, so how dare they move?"

"Well, I want to use other means to bring Li Feng down first, and then slowly make things up with the boss. I will go out of the capital to chase Zhu Yunwen tomorrow, and let the third brother play with the boss in Yingtian. When they fight to the death, it will make the father angry, and I will come back to clean up the mess."

Zhu Yu's face showed a happy smile, and he thought he was planning to do so.
