When he said that, Master Yidao's eyes turned cold. He said coldly, "Do you have the ability?"
"You will know sooner or later," Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes. He sized up He Lan from top to bottom. "I will remember you."
This action was extremely provocative. It also made He Lan feel a chill. However, how could a middle-aged businessman like him dare to challenge an expert that even his father valued so much?
He could only look away and not look at him.
Master Yidao looked at Xiao Zheng coldly, "Ling Lai will definitely die. If you want to stop me. Don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Xiao Zheng smiled, "Let's wait and see who lives and who dies."
After saying that. Xiao Zheng didn't do anything else, he turned around and left.
After Xiao Zheng left, He Lan asked with a solemn expression, "Father. Why did he appear? "
He appeared. But he didn't do anything. He turned around and left.
Why?
What signal did Xiao Zheng want to send by appearing this time?
"Pressure," Master Yidao pursed his lips and said. "The pressure from a peerless expert."
"He might not be your opponent," He Lan curled his lips and said.
In Tokyo. Father was the true number one in the world!
In He Lan's eyes. Whether it was Itō, or the current Princess Ling La, or even Xiao Zheng. They weren't his father's opponent!
He Lan was extremely confident about this.
"One number one in the world might not be able to beat two number two in the world," Master Yidao didn't avoid this. He said slowly. "His appearance was to let me know that he was here. It won't be easy to kill Princess Ling La. It would be best if he could withdraw. "
"He's too arrogant," He Lan frowned.
"But he's very smart," Master Yidao said slowly.
He Lan became silent.
After a moment, he looked at his father, "Then what's your decision?"
"I've already said it. If Ling Lai doesn't die, all of you are finished, "Master Yidao said word by word. "So, she must die!"
…
Xiao Zheng returned to the bedroom and changed into clean and comfortable pajamas. Then, he poured himself a cup of hot tea and restored the volume of the TV back to normal. He pushed the door open and walked out.
It was already half past eleven. Princess Ling La still hadn't returned home. Xiao Zheng drank a cup of tea in the living room. He ate some snacks. It was nearly one o'clock in the morning. Princess Ling La finally arrived.
"Your Highness!"
Ying Xiang flew over and said worriedly: "You're finally back!"
Princess Ling La looked a little tired. His eyes were no longer as bright as they used to be. She nodded slightly and saw that Xiao Zheng was also waiting in the living room. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao hasn't rested yet?"
"If you don't come back, how can I sleep?" Xiao Zheng picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Princess Ling La. "How is it?"
"Yan Jun." Princess Ling La took a sip of hot tea and casually sat on a chair. His brows were slightly furrowed. "Tian Xiong calculated every step accurately. Even if I joined forces with Miyamoto, we didn't gain any advantage. On the contrary — he made a very radical decision. "
"What decision?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
From Princess Ling La's words and actions, he didn't gain any advantage in this gathering. On the contrary, he pushed the situation into a stalemate.
"Lock down the palace. No one is allowed in or out. "Princess Ling La raised his brows slightly. "The people outside can't get in. The people inside can't get out either. "
"Why did he do that?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
"He wants to cut off contact with the outside world. With his influence in the palace. " Princess Ling La smiled bitterly. "I still underestimated him. I didn't expect him to have the courage to cut off his own arm at such a critical moment. "
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he also fell into deep thought.
Most of Princess Ling La's support came from the Yoto government. Once he lost his support, Princess Ling La would be extremely passive. On the other hand, Crown Prince Tian Xiong had a legitimate name. He had the support of most of the nobles. Once the government couldn't intervene, it would be very disadvantageous to Princess Ling La.
Princess Ling La's explanation was that the reason why the palace was locked down was because Crown Prince Tian Xiong fabricated evidence that the Emperor might be assassinated. Although it was illogical, it was worthy of the palace's attention. So in a short time, even if the government intervened, it would be difficult to break into the palace.
Xiao Zheng was silent for a while, then looked up and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"We can only wait until after the funeral." Princess Ling La smiled helplessly and looked up. "I have to trouble Mr. Xiao to stay in my house for a while."
"I eat well and sleep well." What's wrong? "Xiao Zheng smiled with relief, but found that Prince Ling Lai was staring at him with a strange look. He couldn't help but smile. "What is Princess Ling La looking at?"
"I've told Mr. Xiao everything I should say," Prince Ling Lai said with a smile. "Mr. Xiao, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"The fried noodles are delicious." Xiao Zheng smiled.
"I will continue to work hard tomorrow." Princess Ling La nodded and continued to ask. "Nothing else?"
Xiao Zheng heard this, but teased, "What does Your Highness want to know? Why don't you just say it?"
"Mr. Xiao has been staying at home the whole day I was away?" Princess Ling La asked with a smile.
"What else?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"You didn't go out for a walk?" Princess Ling La smiled.
"Just for a walk." Xiao Zheng didn't hide it anymore.
"Is the scenery good?" Princess Ling La said meaningfully.
"It's like adding frost to the rain …" Xiao Zheng sighed.
This sentence had a double meaning. Ying Xiang, who was standing at the side, couldn't understand it, but Princess Ling La understood it immediately.
"I wanted to tell Mr. Xiao about this at a later time." Princess Ling La said slowly. "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to see through it in the end."
"The earlier you know, the earlier you can prepare. If you find out too late, I'm afraid you'll run away. "Xiao Zheng joked.
"Mr. Xiao is brave and fierce. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would run away. "Princess Ling La smiled.
"In the face of death, no one can be fearless." Xiao Zheng's expression turned serious. "I'm no exception."
Princess Ling La smiled and turned the teacup. She pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you think we can make the first move?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up. "Prince, you mean — —"
"We can't." Princess Ling La answered her own question. "It's unjustifiable. If he dies for no reason. All the spears will be pointed at me. I won't have a chance to ascend the throne. "
"But he can — —" Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Because he has a good reason. He's protecting the emperor. He's the righteous one. Even if there's an occasional protest, it'll be drowned out by the general trend. "
"Mr. Xiao is worthy of being a Hua Xia's man. Your history is profound. "Princess Ling La was pleased.
"The enemy is strong while I'm weak." Xiao Zheng said meaningfully.
"Since I can't win, why don't I do it? Then I'll send him to the throne, "Prince Ling Lai said patiently.
