The Prince's Mansion.
Mitsui Baiji stood respectfully in front of the desk. Her expression was subtle.
Behind the desk, Princess Ling La's face was calm. It seemed that she didn't even bother to look at Mitsui Baiji. A cold light occasionally flashed in her eyes. No one dared to look at her.
Mitsui Baiji bowed her head devoutly. She was terrified.
She realized what her problem was. But she didn't know what His Royal Highness would choose. Even — she didn't think she had done anything wrong. Everything was done from His Royal Highness's point of view.
"Did you stop him?"
Suddenly, Princess Ling La's voice was not gentle. Like a cold ice, it stabbed Mitsui Baiji's heart.
Mitsui Baiji had been with Princess Ling La for nearly ten years. She was well aware of Princess Ling La's identity, including her past. It could be said that Ling Lai was a powerless woman. Although she was very smart, very wise, and had great talent and bold vision. But in terms of force, Mitsui Baiji only needed to move her little finger to kill the woman in the wheelchair.
But in fact, she was very afraid of Ling Lai.
Fear in many ways!
She could never guess what Princess Ling La was thinking, what she would say in the next second, or even whether she was happy or angry.
"Yes —" Mitsui Baiji bowed her head and said with her lips pursed. "I was worried that if Asada Seiichi died, Crown Prince Tian Xiong would vent his anger on us."
"So you made your own decision to stop Xiao Zheng?" Princess Ling La slowly raised her eyes, which were full of cold light. "Without my consent, you made your own decision?"
"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me —" Mitsui Baiji's face was buried deeper. Her body tightened slightly. "I just don't want His Royal Highness to be enemies with Crown Prince Tian Xiong at this stage. It's not a good time. "
Princess Ling La's eyes turned cold as she questioned coldly, "Fool!"
"Tian Xiong and I are only working together temporarily, not long-term allies. Do you think it's worth it to offend Xiao Zheng for him? "Princess Ling La shouted in a deep voice.
Mitsui Baiji's body tensed up, hesitantly saying: "Although he is a peerless Overlord, in the end …"
"Are you saying that he's not as powerful as Tian Xiong?" Princess Ling La glared at Mitsui Baiji.
"Mm." Mitsui Baiji nodded.
"No matter how strong Tian Xiong is, what does it have to do with me?" Princess Ling La said in a low voice. "Will he sincerely cooperate with me? Perhaps, in his eyes, I am only a chess piece that still has some value! Once Miyamoto fails to seize power, his next target will be me! "
"My cooperation with Xiao Zheng is equal. He's not my subordinate, and he's not under my control. Now, someone wants to kill him. But because of me, you stop him from fighting back. "Princess Ling La raised her eyes and said word by word. "Do you know that this is a stupid decision of yours? Destroyed my friendship with him to the greatest extent? The trust built after several major incidents? "
That was the truth.
Once Xiao Zheng thought that Mitsui Baiji's decision was made by Princess Ling La behind the scenes. He would definitely be wary of Ling Lai and even hate her.
The two of them were in a cooperative relationship, not one enslaving the other. Xiao Zheng could give face to Princess Ling La and reach a temporary cooperative relationship with Tian Xiong. But he would not let go of any enemy who tried to assassinate him just because of Princess Ling La. Not even Crown Prince Tian Xiong!
But Mitsui Baiji treated Xiao Zheng as a sacrificial pawn. How could Xiao Zheng not be bitterly disappointed? How could he not be angry?
Once the fair cooperation was destroyed, all that was left was to plot against each other!
It could be said that Mitsui Baiji's seemingly casual decision had destroyed the friendship that Princess Ling La and Xiao Zheng had worked hard to build.
And in Princess Ling La's eyes, Xiao Zheng was an important ally who was indispensable to her future!
The Fox Hunt, the fledgling Mercenary Association. Including Xiao Zheng's potential network in the United States and his huge influence in Beijing. They were all important factors that Ling Lai desperately wanted to make friends with and include in her future plans!
"If you hadn't followed me for so many years, you would have been loyal." Prince Ling Lai said with a cold look in his eyes. "I will not tolerate what you did tonight!"
Mitsui Baiji trembled and lowered his head, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness —"
"Contact Xiao Zheng for me immediately. I will host a banquet for him and his friends. " And his friends, "Prince Ling Lai exhaled a mouthful of foul air and said slowly. "I want to apologize to him in person."
"Yes —" Mitsui Baiji said respectfully.
This time, Mitsui Baiji did something stupid that Princess Ling La couldn't tolerate. If she wasn't careful, her relationship with Xiao Zheng would be frozen and irreparable.
But fortunately, Tian Xiong secretly pushed Xiao Zheng and Princess Ling La to the same side. Ling Lai knew very well that Xiao Zheng would not let go of any enemy who harmed him. And coincidentally, Ling Lai was also destined to fight with Tian Xiong.
From this perspective, Xiao Zheng and Ling Lai had many opportunities to cooperate.
As long as she was willing to lower her head, explain to Xiao Zheng, and express her apology. Based on her understanding of Xiao Zheng, he would not be so stingy.
…
"Bastard!"
In the study, Tian Xiong was furious!
Seiichi Asada was the biggest trump card in his hand. Without this direct disciple of Kang Yang, Tian Xiong would have many inconveniences and even hinder his future plans.
But now, he received the bad news of Seiichi Asada's death.
"Ling Lai, this bastard is too bold!" Tian Xiong shouted coldly. "How dare he kill Seiichi Asada!"
In front of the table, a ninja in black reported in a low voice, "According to the on-site observation, it was done by Xiao Zheng."
"Without Ling Lai's approval, Xiao Zheng dares to kill my people!?" Tian Xiong growled. "The two of them are obviously in cahoots with each other!"
The ninja in black didn't dare to say anything.
He knew that the crown prince was in a state of rage. Whoever touched the bad luck would be unlucky.
After a short period of anger, Tian Xiong regained his calmness. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, but his face became slightly indifferent, "Let them go for now. After defeating Miyamoto, I will slowly deal with this adulterous couple! "
The ninja in black raised his eyes and said, "According to reliable information, Prince Miyamoto is very angry. He threatened to find out the murderer and take cruel revenge. "
"Revenge?" Tian Xiong sneered. "Does he have this ability? Meng Qingyang was originally Hua Xia's favorite. If he is dead, he is dead. He can only cover it and dare not make a sound. Besides, Kang Yang is dead. Is there anyone else he can use? "
"You mean —" The ninja in black showed a fierce light in his eyes. His tone was cold.
"I am ready. At the family banquet at the beginning of next month, I will count his crimes and take away his title!" Tian Xiong said word by word. "Meng Qingyang is dead. The military and political circles will not continue to support him. Plus the plan I have prepared. When he is forced to a dead end. He will lose his mind and seek his own death — "
"At that time, you can do it!" Tian Xiong shouted in a deep voice. "Send him to hell!"
