After a moment of silence, Xiao Zheng parked the car on the side of the road and asked, "What does Princess Ling La want me to do?"
Anyway, it was not the first time he was involved in the struggle of the royal family. It was probably too late to escape now. Xiao Zheng was becoming more and more cautious, but he was still a bachelor in his bones.
Princess Ling La got Xiao Zheng's response and smiled, "I really don't want Mr. Xiao to get too involved in the struggle of the royal family. This may bring unnecessary trouble to Mr. Xiao. And — "
"Just say it." Xiao Zheng did not believe that Princess Ling La was afraid of troubling him. In Xiao Zheng's mind, she was already the representative of unscrupulous people. A woman who dared to kill her own mother. What moral bottom line was there to speak of?
No matter how annoying and infuriating the mother was. But how many children would do such a thing?
To put it nicely, Royal Prince Ling Lai was decisive in killing and doing things. To put it bluntly, she was worse than a beast …
"Mr. Xiao is one of the Eight Masters and has killed several of them. Among the younger generation, you are invincible. Even among the older generation — I'm afraid there are only a few people who can compete with Mr. Xiao. "Princess Ling La said meaningfully.
"Your Highness is flattering me." Xiao Zheng smiled perfunctorily.
The hint had appeared.
What Princess Ling La needed was Xiao Zheng's strength.
Of course, this was understandable. Even if Xiao Zheng had a great influence in Yan Jing, how could he affect the structure of the Yoto Royals? It would be difficult to intervene, right?
So Princess Ling La could not put too much effort in this area.
"The Emperor is critically ill. The doctors have given up on active treatment and switched to conservative treatment that does less harm to the Emperor." Princess Ling La continued.
Xiao Zheng understood as soon as he heard this.
What conservative treatment?
That was to start using drugs to relieve the Emperor's pain. In other words, he used the so-called euthanasia method …
"Once the Emperor dies of illness," Princess Ling La changed the topic and said word by word. "The royal family will fall into chaos."
"I can imagine." Xiao Zheng nodded and asked. "Your Highness, you still haven't told me what I can do for you."
This time, Princess Ling La was silent for a moment, but she was not so anxious. "Mr Xiao. Do you think that our Crown Prince can be killed so easily? "
Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
Murder?
Could it be that Princess Ling La's goal was not only to seize power, but also to kill Tian Xiong?
After all, this wasn't the ancient times. It wasn't an era where murder wasn't illegal. Everyone's life is protected by the law. Even if Tian Xiong lost this power struggle. Even if Princess Ling La would take everything away from him, death?
This was probably not allowed as well!
Unless they used unconventional methods!
"Your Highness, do you need me —" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes. "To do this?"
"This is just my initial thought." Princess Ling La said in a soothing tone.
"Because you are a woman. Even if you ascend the throne, the pressure will be great. Are you worried that Crown Prince Tian Xiong will make a comeback? "Xiao Zheng asked directly.
"I've heard of an old saying in Hua Xia." Princess Ling La smiled.
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng asked. "What saying?"
"It's easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it." Princess Ling La said meaningfully.
"Your understanding of Hua Xia's culture is indeed insightful." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips. "So — this is the promise I owe you?"
Princess Ling La smiled softly. "Mr Xiao really knows how to do business. I'll take it all. "
She provided a piece of explosive news. She wanted Xiao Zheng to do something for her. As for Xiao Zheng, he even brought up his previous promise. It was obvious that Xiao Zheng wanted to use one thing to exchange for two bargaining chips from Princess Ling La.
It sounded like it was not worth it at all, but in reality?
Princess Ling La was very satisfied with Xiao Zheng's attitude.
Even if Xiao Zheng made another request, Ling Lai would do it.
Because what she wanted Xiao Zheng to do was an extremely risky task. Not many people in the world could do it!
This was what Princess Ling La really wanted Xiao Zheng to do!
Kill Itō?
Perhaps she would not be able to do it as easily as Xiao Zheng.
But with Itō's state at that time, could he withstand Princess Ling La's storm?
Everything, Princess Ling La had been waiting for this day!
She wanted to use Xiao Zheng to kill the Crown Prince!
As long as the Crown Prince was alive, she would not be able to sit on the throne!
Dead. That bunch of stubborn old fogeys who didn't know how to use Hell King didn't have a choice!
"I promise you." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips.
That night at the top of Bai Yun Mountain, Old Lin and Xiao Zheng discussed some economic issues. They did not start from the details like before. Instead, they talked about the macro situation.
Controlling subordinates and adjusting personnel were the small details.
Looking at the economic situation in Asia and even the world, that was the macro understanding.
As Xiao Zheng climbed up step by step, his influence would no longer be limited to Yan Jin, or even Hua Xia. Take Lin Laoyao for example. If he appeared on Wall Street, he would definitely startle countless Wall Street tycoons.
There was a need to choose sides in politics, and there was also a need to form alliances in business. When a certain position was reached, the game would no longer be limited to Hua Xia. It would be looking at the whole world.
The reason why Xiao Zheng agreed to work with Princess Ling La was because of the exchange of information, and also because Princess Ling La had given Xiao Zheng a lot of face during the negotiations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was also because of her that Xiao Zheng had established a "friendship" with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. To a certain extent, this was an exchange of interests. But saying it out loud would make him sound a bit unscrupulous.
Most importantly, Xiao Zheng had already offended Tian Xiong. Once he was involved in the battle for the throne, he had to find a reasonable ally.
Between Tian Xiong and Princess Ling La, who would Xiao Zheng choose?
The answer was obvious.
Once Princess Ling La became the Crown Prince. It would benefit Xiao Zheng's business plan in Asia and even on his way to the world.
After getting Xiao Zheng's answer, Princess Ling La was very satisfied. She then said meaningfully, "From now on, my interests and Mr. Xiao's are tied together …"
"I'm afraid that Your Royal Highness thinks I know too much …" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"Mr. Xiao." Princess Ling La said word by word. "I care more about my friendship with you than Shang Yao. You don't have to doubt this. "
Xiao Zheng smiled perfunctorily.
It was a business, why talk about feelings?
After a pause, Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and asked, "Then, Your Royal Highness, shouldn't you tell me something I want to know?"
Princess Ling La smiled and said, "Perhaps, you have already guessed the answer."
"I guessed it?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Now, I can bet that you must have guessed it." Princess Ling La smiled.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for providing this valuable information." A cold light flashed in Xiao Zheng's eyes.
Princess Ling La pursed her lips and said, "This is what I should do." After a pause, Princess Ling La continued. "May our friendship last forever."
