Chapter 280: Face King Zhao and win the prize!
Hearing Ying Yong's instigation, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to Li Changsheng again.
Li Changsheng smiled coldly in his heart.
Haha, you think you can use me as a knife with this clumsy way of provoking me? You are not yet ready enough!
He just shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Don't say you don't believe it, Third Young Master. Actually, I don't believe it either!"
Ying Yong: “???”
He originally wanted to add fuel to the fire, but he never expected that this guy named Yan Qing would not be fooled at all.
For a moment, he felt as if he had thrown a heavy punch, but it was hitting cotton.
Because of the disruption caused by the two brothers Ying Jie and Ying Yong, the meal was not very enjoyable.
After filling his stomach, Li Changsheng went to the room arranged for him by Ying Qi.
Halfway through the journey, he heard someone calling his name from behind.
Li Changsheng looked back and asked, "Miss Xin'er, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Xiner bit her lip and said, "Yanqing, Princess Baili promised me that as long as you can call that friend named Bai Juyi to meet her."
"She will find a way to persuade Prince Yingqi to cancel my engagement with me, and then bring us together!"
When she said the second half of the sentence, her cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.
Hearing this, Li Changsheng immediately looked embarrassed.
Bai Juyi is his other alias.
Although I have countless aliases, I really can't handle them all!
Seeing Li Changsheng's troubled expression, Jiang Xiner asked, "Yan Qing, don't you want to help Princess Baili?"
Li Changsheng shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not, it's just that my friend named Bai Juyi is like a wandering cloud and wild crane, and he calls the world his home. Even I don't know where he is now."
"What's more, with the Nine Provinces in chaos right now, who knows where he's hiding. Trying to find him in such a short time is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
Jiang Xiner's eyes were red, and she asked with a choked look, "Then what should I do? Do I really have to marry a man I don't love?"
"I've already lost my family and my clan. Do you think I'll lose you too?"
Li Changsheng took Jiang Xiner's hand and comforted her, "Xiner, if you don't want to get married, as long as I'm here, no one can force you!"
After hearing Li Changsheng's words, Jiang Xiner could no longer hold back the tears that she had been trying to hold back.
Suddenly, it was like beads that had broken off the string, with large and small beads falling onto a jade plate.
She ignored her daughter's reserve and threw herself directly into Li Changsheng's arms.
Li Changsheng wanted to say something comforting, but when the words came to his lips, they felt too pale, so he gently stroked her back.
"Xin'er, stop crying. It's getting late. Go back quickly!"
"During this period of time, don't think about anything else. Take care of yourself first. Leave the rest to me!"
After hearing Li Changsheng's words, Jiang Xiner felt an unprecedented sense of security.
She nodded obediently like a chick pecking at rice.
"okay!"
……
"Second brother, it seems that Jiang Xiner and Yan Qing are having an affair!"
The intimate scene of Jiang Xiner and Li Changsheng hugging each other and talking to each other was seen by brothers Ying Yong and Ying Jie.
Ying Jie seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "It seems that the rumors are true. Yan Qing once wrote a poem 'The Goddess of Luo River' for Jiang Xiner!"
Ying Yong said, "Second brother, let's go tell father right now. The prince's fiancée is having a secret meeting with another man late at night. Just thinking about it is exciting!"
Ying Jie shook his head: "It's not the time yet!"
Ying Yong asked doubtfully, "Second brother, when do you think is the right time?"
A sinister chill flashed across Ying Jie's narrowed eyes.
"Wait until our big brother's fiancée becomes his new wife!"
Ying Yong imagined the scene and said excitedly, "Second brother, if this happens, our eldest brother will be completely humiliated!"
Ying Jie said proudly: "How can a man who can't even keep his own woman safe be qualified to become the prince of the Zhao Palace, and how can he be qualified to become the future crown prince?"
Ying Yong said: "Second brother, when the time comes, the position of the crown prince will be yours!"
Ying Jie was overjoyed when he heard this. He couldn't suppress his pride and laughed out loud towards the sky.
……
At this moment, a pair of eyes were staring at them.
The owner of these eyes is none other than someone else.
It was Li Changsheng.
It turned out that he had already noticed the existence of the two brothers Ying Jie and Ying Yong.
I just don’t know what evil plans they are brewing?
Now it seems that the two brothers intend to use Jiang Xiner to overthrow Prince Ying Qi.
Thinking of this, Li Changsheng's mind turned a lot and a plan came to his mind.
I can also take this opportunity to make good use of these two brothers.
Before we knew it, the sky in the east was turning pale.
Li Changsheng, who had just taken a short nap, heard a maid coming to report.
It is said that King Zhao summoned him to meet him in the camp!
"Okay, I'll be there soon!"
Li Changsheng responded casually and straightened his clothes.
He looked at his own appearance in the bronze mirror carefully again.
After making sure there were no loopholes, he got up and headed for the commander's camp.
When he arrived at the gate of the general's camp, Li Changsheng also saw Jin Wunan, Zhao Kun, Princess Baili and Jiang Xiner.
The crown prince Ying Qi, as well as the two brothers Ying Yong and Ying Jie were also there.
Afterwards, they, led by Prince Yingqi, entered the general's camp.
Li Changsheng secretly glanced at Prince Zhao Yingguang out of the corner of his eye.
Although he was already in his early forties, he was still handsome, and his every move and gesture exuded the majesty of an emperor.
There is a person standing on each side of him.
The man on the left is also in his forties or fifties. Although he is not good-looking, he gives people a sense of being extremely shrewd.
Apparently, this person is Pang Wei, the chief military advisor of King Zhao.
On his right is an old monk with a solemn appearance.
You don’t have to guess to know that this is Master Kongxiang from Dabei Temple.
Zen Master Kongxiang noticed that someone was secretly observing him, so he raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Changsheng.
He clasped his hands together and silently chanted a Buddhist name.
"Amitabha!"
When King Zhao Yingguang heard the Buddhist name of Zen Master Kongxiang, he subconsciously looked at Li Changsheng.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. Li Changsheng didn't dare to look at him and quickly lowered his head.
At this moment, he felt as if he had a thorn in his back.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already in his throat.
He was afraid that his ability to disguise himself as all living beings would be won over by King Zhao, or that Zen Master Kongxiang would find out.
By then, my fate would probably be just as Qingying said, with no chance of survival.
Fortunately, King Zhao Yingguang only stared at Li Changsheng for a while, then shifted his gaze to Jin Wunan.
"General Jin, didn't I agree with Jiang Guogong to cooperate internally and externally? Why did he act so hastily, resulting in his own death?"
King Zhao Yingguang was very dissatisfied with Jiang Kuanglong's sudden rise of an army and coup.
He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to coordinate internal and external forces to disrupt the Xiao family's position, break through the Hulao Pass defense line in one fell swoop, and capture the capital of God!
Now, I haven't made any preparations yet.
They had already received the tragic news that Jiang Kuanglong had hastily launched a mutiny, his entire family was wiped out, and the Queen Mother was imprisoned.
In fact, Jin Wunan only knew the basics of this.
He gathered his thoughts, clasped his fists, and said, "Reporting to King Zhao, this is not a hasty move on the part of Duke Jiang."
"The Emperor had already noticed something and took preemptive action, killing Jin Jiuling, the Empress Dowager's trusted aide, and placing her under house arrest."
"Duke Jiang was forced to act hastily. Furthermore, a traitor stabbed the Jiang family, leading to his own death and the annihilation of his clan!"
After saying this, he looked up and secretly glanced at King Zhao's expression.
Immediately, he looked sideways at Li Changsheng again.
"Brother Yanqing, you were in the palace at the time, so you should know more than me. Why don't you tell King Zhao about the scene at that time?"
After hearing Jin Wunan's words, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Li Changsheng...
