Early in the morning, Li Cheng sent someone over.
He said that the retrial of Du Mubai's case had begun and he needed Ji Yunshu to start as soon as possible.
That brat was really a hands-off boss!
He pinned all his hopes on Ji Yunshu.
This matter became a hot topic in Gaoding.
Even the King of Huyi was alarmed, and many officials were dismissed.
Now, the members of the Six Ministries were all trembling with fear. All the officials who had been involved in Du Mubai's case and had not been dismissed yet were watching this case closely.
They all reached out their hands to help.
They hoped to be of some help.
To make up for their dereliction of duty.
At that time, they could redeem themselves with meritorious service.
Now, with countless eyes on them, the City Sector could not afford to be careless.
Ji Yunshu hoped to find Cha He as soon as possible in order to complete her deal with Li Cheng.
Jing Rong wanted to go with her, but when he reached the entrance of the alley, he suddenly stopped.
He glanced at a place not far away.
He frowned.
Then, he said to Ji Yunshu, "You go first."
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just forgot to take something."
Ji Yunshu did not suspect anything. She nodded and got into the carriage.
Then, Jing Rong said to Bai Yin softly, "You go first with Yunshu. I'll catch up later. I'll take good care of her."
Bai Yin noticed that something was wrong with him. "What's wrong?"
"You go first."
"Alright! Then, be careful. "
Bai Yin followed Ji Yunshu to the City Sector.
Jing Rong's four guards stayed where they were.
Not long after, they saw a few people walking over from the direction Jing Rong had been staring at.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a rather easygoing appearance.
When he walked in front of Jing Rong, the four guards wanted to stop him.
Jing Rong raised his hand and signaled for them to step back.
The man did not bring any weapons. He politely cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Jing, my master invites you."
Master?
After Jing Rong and the others arrived in Gaoding, they had not interacted with anyone except Li Cheng.
He asked, "Who's your master?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Jing Rong pondered and analyzed the pros and cons.
After a while …
"Lead the way!"
…
After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Jing Rong and his guards followed that person to the entrance of a magnificent mansion.
The plaque on the door of the mansion had the words "Second Prince's Mansion" written on it.
Second Prince Na Yan?
Jing Rong immediately came to a conclusion.
He probably already knew something.
The middle-aged man who led him in said, "Young Master Jing, please come in!"
"En!"
Just as he was about to enter, the person at the door stopped the four guards and said, "His Highness said that he would only invite Young Master Jing."
The guard was enraged.
But unexpectedly —
"Alright!" Jing Rong agreed without hesitation. He informed his men, "Wait outside."
The guard was worried. "Young Master …"
"Don't worry, I'll be out in an hour." He seemed to have calculated the time.
"Yes."
The guard could only stay outside the door.
Jing Rong entered the mansion and followed the guide to the backyard.
Na Yan had already brewed some tea and was waiting for him.
This was the first time they had met!
Na Yan withdrew from the crowd and invited him in.
"Young Master Jing, have a seat!"
He was very enthusiastic.
As soon as Jing Rong sat down, Na Yan poured him a cup of tea.
He pushed it in front of Jing Rong.
"Young Master Jing braved the wind and snow all the way here. Have a cup of hot tea."
"Thank you, Second Prince."
Jing Rong picked up the cup and took a sip.
Na Yan looked at him and smiled sinisterly. "Young Master Jing, aren't you afraid that the tea is poisoned?"
Poison!
Jing Rong was very calm. He put down the cup and smiled. "If Your Highness wanted to kill someone, there's no need to go through so much trouble."
"Haha, you're right. If I wanted to kill someone, you wouldn't be alive to drink this cup of tea."
"That's not necessarily true. I'm afraid that the one who will suffer in the end will be you, Your Highness!" Jing Rong's lips were clearly smiling, but his eyes seemed to be dipped in poison.
Even the usually ruthless Na Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He knew that this person was definitely not simple.
Just the look in his eyes was different from ordinary people.
But he was also secretly happy that he didn't misjudge him.
Then he said, "This Prince has always valued talented people. Young Master Jing is indeed different from others. You have a bearing that this Prince admires, a bearing that others don't have."
"Your Highness flatters me."
"This Prince rarely praises people." Na Yan looked at the calm Jing Rong and continued, "In fact, you should be very clear about this Prince's purpose. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here."
"So what if I know? So what if I don't know? "Jing Rong retorted.
Na Yan retorted, "Let me ask you, how can a ferocious beast be willing to be trapped in prison?"
'Ferocious beast?'
Jing Rong felt that this word was even more ridiculous than Song Zhi's' support '.
Seeing Jing Rong laugh, Na Yan frowned. "Could it be that this Prince is wrong?"
Jing Rong picked up the teacup in front of him again and rotated it between his fingers. "It's not wrong. A ferocious beast is indeed unwilling to be trapped in prison, but Second Prince is mistaken about one thing."
"What is it?"
Jing Rong leaned forward slightly. His expression became serious as he said, "Ferocious beast is used to describe people who eat people without spitting out their bones, not me!"
In other words, he was not a ferocious beast.
Na Yan smiled awkwardly and quickly found a way out of this embarrassing situation, "Whether it's a ferocious beast or not, I cherish talented people. Why don't you accept my kindness?"
"I'm not a caged bird."
"I don't want to trap you. Has Young Master Jing misunderstood?"
"Then, Your Highness, just say it directly!" Na Yan said seriously, "Although the one in the limelight this time is that Young Master Ji, in this Prince's opinion, you are more attractive to this Prince than him. This Prince also sincerely wishes to take you in as a guest. And no matter what reason you have for working for Heir Cheng, this Prince only wants to tell you that you want to
If you want something, I can give it to you. I can even give you more than Prince Cheng. "
He threw out a tempting offer.
Jing Rong was disdainful, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked with a faint smile, "Then, what does Your Highness think we need?"
"It's all about money and status!"
Hehe.
Jing Rong thought it was ridiculous.
Na Yan immediately added, "In fact, as long as you are willing to be my guest, I can give you anything you want. However, you must wholeheartedly work for me."
"Then, what does Your Highness want?"
"Since Young Master Jing is so smart, why don't you take a guess?"
"Power?"
When Na Yan heard this word, the smile on his face froze. "Yes, power. That's why I need smart and capable guests."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then, Young Master Jing, do you think you can leave this place?"
