Leng Yexiao said, "Isn't her goal to discuss cooperation with us? Let's talk to her then. "
However, what Leng Yexiao didn't know was that Princess Spirited Flame was not so easy to talk to.
When Duke Jing went to look for Princess Spirited Flame, Princess Spirited Flame slowly said, "Talk? Of course, we can talk. But before that, let's sign this. "
Lord Jing took the document from the table and looked at it. He frowned after just one glance.
The document said that from now on, Lord Jing and Leng Yexiao had to listen to her orders. If they disobeyed, she would tell them about Leng Yexiao's background.
Even Lord Jing, who had always annoyed Princess Spirited Flame, was furious. He glared at Princess Spirited Flame and said, "You're asking for too much!"
Princess Spirited Flame was arrogant. She glanced at him calmly and said, "Who said that?"
Look at her arrogant attitude …
Lord Jing felt like he was just a dog in front of her. In this world where only the strong were respected, this princess was only at the Ling Kingdom Realm. How could she be so arrogant?
He was a prince of Dong Sang Country, second only to the emperor.
Lord Jing's face was livid, and his expression was extremely ugly. He said in a cold voice, "Princess, this is not the attitude for negotiation, right?"
Princess Spirited Flame glanced at him arrogantly. "Negotiation? Who wants to negotiate with you? Do you think I am? Don't you know who has the upper hand between us? "
Princess Spirited Flame stood up abruptly.
"I, Princess Spirited Flame, am here on behalf of the Great Yan Dynasty.
"The Great Yan Dynasty has people, ancient technology, and ancient technology.
"Now, I know your secret. If this secret is exposed, you will all die!
"Do you think the emperor only has one son? The East Sang Emperor has at least 30 sons, and there will be more in the future.
"Do you believe that I can destroy your son and you with a single word?"
"You don't want to sign it? Just try me! "
Lord Jing was so angry that his face turned red.
Princess Spirited Flame looked at him mockingly. "It seems that Lord Jing has no sincerity for negotiation. When you show your sincerity, come and talk to me. Grandpa Ma, see them out."
Princess Spirit Flame once again called out Ma Quanquan to threaten the Jing King.
Ma Quanquan was a Martial Sage who was at the peak of the Martial Sage Stage. He was the person that Lord Jing was most afraid of when facing Princess Yan Ling.
Prince Jing angrily walked out. Princess Yan Ling did not forget to sneer at her maidservant, "Aren't they just a few dogs of Prince Yan's Mansion? Who do they think they are? Tsk!"
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but the King of Jing could hear him clearly.
King Jing was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly. His face was ashen!
Bullying! Intolerable!
After King Jing left, Ma Quanquan frowned and looked at Countess Flame Spirit. "Countess, don't go overboard."
Princess Flame Spirit glared at Ma Quanquan. "Grandpa Ma, it was the people from East Mulberry Country who bullied me, not me! Do you know how much support our Prince Manor has given to Dong Sang Country? Not only are they not grateful, but they also want to bargain with us? If I don't suppress him, do you still want to ride on my head? Heh! Do they really think they're some noble people? "
Ma Quanquan had no choice but to try his best to persuade her. "Countess, the bigger picture is more important."
Countess Flame Spirit said, "I know. I won't ruin the bigger picture."
In King Jing's study.
Bang!
King Jing was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground. He was so angry that his face turned red!
Princess Jing hurried over and saw the mess on the floor.
It was the same yesterday, and it was the same today …
Princess Jing asked with concern what had happened.
King Jing waved his hand and signaled for her to leave.
"Husband …" Princess Jing said sadly, "In the past, you would tell me everything. Why do you keep everything to yourself now?"
Princess Jing looked at her mistress and was very worried. She asked her mistress to bring wine and raised her cup to drink with her.
King Jing kept drinking. In the end, his face was a little pale.
Princess Jing was about to help him to sleep when King Jing suddenly asked, "If someone threatened you, what would you do?"
Princess Jing looked at King Jing. "Did someone threaten you?"
King Jing shouted at her, "If someone threatened you, what would you do?"
Princess Jing clenched her fists and said forcefully, "How can a person be threatened in this life?"
"If you are threatened and compromise, what is the difference between you and a mouse hiding in the gutter?"
"You think that the person who threatened you will stop when the time is right. But for that person, she only needs to threaten you once to get benefits. Why not threaten you again? Anyway, you are afraid of her. "
"That's a life of hiding. That's not a real life at all!"
"Your Highness, you are a man of indomitable spirit. How can you be threatened by someone?"
King Jing's eyes lit up. "Do you think so too, Princess?"
Princess Jing nodded. "Of course!"
"What do you think I should do?"
"Get rid of the threat, of course. Get rid of it completely, without leaving any traces!" Princess Jing clenched her fists.
"You are right!" King Jing slammed the table. "Not only did she threaten me, but she also treats me like a dog. Does she really think that she is so great?"
Princess Jing seemed to be curious. "Who is she?"
That brought King Jing back to his senses. "Off you go."
After Princess Jing excused herself from the study, she went to a corner and removed the disguise on her face. It was Feng Wu's face.
Feng Wu had known that Lord Jing would drown his sorrows in alcohol after the humiliation, so she had put something in the wine and disguised herself as Lady Jing to lure the king to that path. Feng Wu knew that Lord Jing would go that way.
For Feng Wu, both Lord Jing and Princess Flame Spirit were very important pieces in the game she was playing at the moment.
Initially, she had been worried about how to cause a conflict between Princess Spirit Flame and Autarch Jing. In the end, this princess was just too much to her liking. On one hand, she looked down on Autarch Jing and Leng Yexiao, but on the other hand, she knew their biggest secret and threatened them at every turn.
Both King Jing and Leng Yexiao were proud people, and they would never be able to take this humiliation. They would never allow themselves to be threatened.
Therefore, the conflict between King Jing and Princess Flame Spirit would spread to the conflict between Dongsang and Dayan Dynasty, which would buy the Junwu Empire a lot of time.
Feng Wu's blood boiled at that thought.
King Jing was already thinking about it. As his most capable guard, Feng Wu would definitely be sent out, and when that happened …
Feng Wu smiled a little, and there was a cunning look in her eyes.
King Jing was a cautious man. He wouldn't act alone, but would discuss it with Leng Yexiao.
But before discussing it with Leng Ye Xiao …
King Jing called Feng Wu in.
"Jingwei, how have I been treating you?"
Feng Wu murmured inwardly. Here it comes!
Despite her excitement, she didn't let it show on her face. She bowed and said, "Your Highness, it was you who helped me become a Martial Saint. I'm indebted to you, and I owe my life to you!"
Face tense, King Jing stared at Feng Wu. "Are you serious?"
Feng Wu said earnestly, "Of course. I can't be more serious."
King Jing nodded, then said to Feng Wu, "In that case, eat this."
Lord Jing handed Feng Wu a black meatball.
Other people might not recognize what it was, but Feng Wu knew it as soon as she smelled it. It was a Bloodthirsty and Bone-Gnawing Pill, and it was a Supreme Level pill. Most people wouldn't be able to take it.
Feng Wu was the only one who could do it since she was a Demigod.
Looking at Feng Wu, King Jing said indifferently, "If you take this pill, I'll believe in your sincerity and I'll trust you more than anything else!"
In fact, how many people in King Jing's household had actually become Martial Saints?
Martial Saints were very rare, and it was only thanks to the fact that King Jing was the only prince in the household that he was able to keep so many Martial Saints as his subordinates.
In the Junwu Empire, a Martial Saint could already be the principal of Imperial College.
That was enough to show that, with the help of Dayan Dynasty, Dongsang was indeed more powerful than the Junwu Empire.
Taking the pill, Feng Wu popped it into her mouth right away and swallowed it without any hesitation!
King Jing looked at Feng Wu in amazement.
The more powerful a cultivator was, the more difficult it was to control them. Therefore, King Jing had sometimes been suspicious of this subordinate of his, but to his surprise, Feng Wu had done it without hesitation …
"Why aren't you hesitating at all? Aren't you worried that I'll poison you?! "
Feng Wu's face tensed up, her face was unprecedentedly serious and solemn, "Jing Wei's debt of gratitude to Prince is as heavy as a mountain, like a second parent. My life belongs to Prince, not to mention this unknown pill. Even if there was a dagger, if Prince wants me to stab it, Jing Wei would not hesitate!"
What kind of research was Feng Wu doing? She was even more skilled than the God of Acting. She almost believed her own acting skills, let alone King Jing …
"What an idiot …" King Jing thought to himself.
But it's more reassuring to use an idiot like this.
Moreover, he'll die from the poison after using it, and I won't need to silence him anymore. "
King Jing's tone was unreadable, but Feng Wu could see the ruthlessness in his eyes.
But soon, King Jing smiled a little. Patting Feng Wu on the shoulder, he heaved a long sigh. "Jingwei, you're the only one I trust the most in this manor … sigh."
Feng Wu was speechless. Pfft!
But she couldn't let her face crumble, so she kept a straight face.
King Jing went on, "Of the four guards, I've always thought that you were the most talented one and the most loyal. I was right. You didn't disappoint me."
Feng Wu cooperated and looked very touched.
Only then did King Jing say in relief, "I have a very difficult task for you. Do you have the guts to do it?"
Feng Wu said with a straight face, "Your Highness, please tell me what you need to do! No matter if it's climbing a mountain of knives or diving into a sea of flames, we dare to do it! "
King Jing said, "You don't have to do that. I just need you to kill someone."
Feng Wu said earnestly, "Your Highness, please tell me. No matter who you want me to kill, I'll bring the head to you right away!"
"Sigh." King Jing looked pained. "That person bullied me, humiliated me, and slandered me … She even tried to ruin my plan. I can't stand her. That person is … Princess Flame Spirit!"
Feng Wu was surprised.
King Jing said sternly, "You don't have the guts?"
Feng Wu said seriously, "There's nothing I can't do. If you want Princess Flame Spirit's head, I'll do it even if it's His Majesty's head."
King Jing patted the armrest of his chair. "Good! Good! This King did not misjudge you! "
"Shall I go now?"
Feng Wu turned to leave.
"Wait." King Jing shook his head. "We need to think this through. You can go and get ready."
"Yes."
Feng Wu went back to her room, but left Little Phoenix there to act as her mouthpiece.
King Jing couldn't hide any of his plans from her.
Little Phoenix stopped making a fuss about going back to cultivate, for it knew that this was a very important moment and it needed to play along with Feng Wu.
In King Jing's study.
Crossing his hands behind his back, King Jing paced back and forth in his room after Feng Wu left.
He murmured to himself, "I need to figure out a way to get Ma Quanquan out of here. Also, I need to shift the blame to someone else … That won't be easy. Xiao Xiao has always been smart. I'll need to talk to him first."
Little Phoenix then saw King Jing open the secret door to the study.
"Wait!" Little Phoenix cried out in surprise. "Oh my, that's amazing!"
Sitting cross-legged in her room, Feng Wu communicated with Little Phoenix in her head. "What do you mean?"
Little Phoenix said excitedly, "Didn't you go into King Jing's study? You checked the area, didn't you? "
Feng Wu said, "Yes."
Little Phoenix asked, "You went into the cultivation room too, didn't you?"
Feng Wu said, "Yes."
Little Phoenix said, "But you don't know that there's a secret passage there!"
Feng Wu asked, "What?"
Little Phoenix said, "This King Jing is amazing. He really has a way … If we're not careful, we'll fall into his trap!"
Little Phoenix told Feng Wu the details. "The mechanism in the secret room was left exposed on purpose. That way, even if someone found it, they could just walk into the secret room and nothing would happen. However, Lord Jing dug a secret passage on the other side of the room!"
"It's a well-hidden passage. I wouldn't have found it if I hadn't seen King Jing open it with my own eyes." Little Phoenix chattered excitedly with Feng Wu. "Now that you mention it, this King Jing really has some tricks up his sleeve."
Feng Wu asked curiously, "Where does this passage lead to?"
Little Phoenix shook its head. "I'm following him right now. I'd like to see where this passage leads to."
After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
"I can't believe it!"
Little Phoenix's surprised voice rang out in Feng Wu's head. "I finally know where this passage leads to."
Feng Wu asked, "Leng Yexiao's manor?"
Little Phoenix said, "Hey, how did you figure that out?"
Feng Wu said, "I remember Leng Yexiao saying that he didn't reveal anything in front of Jingbao because he wasn't afraid that Dongsang emperor would find out about his relationship with Lord Jing. But the truth is that Lord Jing and Leng Yexiao are very close, so there must be a secret passage between them."
Little Phoenix said, "That's right. Lord Jing and Leng Yexiao are already sitting in the secret tea room. I think they're going to discuss how to kill Princess Flame Spirit."
Feng Wu said, "Then you'd better keep your ears open."
Little Phoenix said, "Don't worry. I love listening to other people's secrets."
King Jing and Leng Yexiao sat opposite each other at the teahouse. However, they did not expect that a bird was staring at them curiously with its beady eyes on the empty side of the table.
The first thing Leng Yexiao asked when he saw Lord Jing was, "Did you talk to that stupid princess?"
Lord Jing shook his head, then told Leng Yexiao everything that had happened in the princess's manor.
"We have to listen to her? We have to listen to her even when we become the emperor? "Leng Yexiao smirked." Is she saying that we're going to be King Yan's lackeys? Puppets?! Puppets?! "
Lord Jing nodded. "But she'll help you get the throne."
Leng Yexiao smirked. "I don't need her help. The throne is mine anyway!"
Lord Jing said, "But His Majesty is still in good health."
Leng Yexiao clenched his fists and stared at Lord Jing. "I want them dead!"
Lord Jing asked, "What?"
Leng Yexiao said, "Can't we just let that Princess Spirit Flame, who is sitting on our heads, die? Can't we kill that old dog who's been threatening us all this time?! "
Lord Jing nodded. "It's not impossible."
Leng Yexiao froze and stared at Lord Jing in disbelief. "What did you say?"
Lord Jing stared at Leng Yexiao. "I said, it's not impossible."
Leng Yexiao raised his head and looked outside. Seeing that no one was around, he heaved a sigh of relief. He stared at Lord Jing and leaned forward so that the two of them were very close. "What you said just now … was just a joke, right?"
Lord Jing stared at Leng Yexiao. "What do you think?"
Leng Yexiao was delighted.
Ever since he was a child, people only knew that he was smart. Even Mr. Zuoqiu often praised him. However, what they didn't know was that Lord Jing often came to tutor him in the middle of the night and taught him many things. That was why he was so smart at such a young age.
Therefore, in Leng Yexiao's mind, Mr. Zuoqiu was just a spy sent by the East Sang Kingdom to monitor him, and Lord Jing was the father he trusted the most since he was a child.
"Father!"
Leng Yexiao exclaimed. "So, can we really do it?! But if Princess Flame Spirit dies, won't the Great Yan Dynasty take revenge? "
Lord Jing said, "That's why we have to kill her with a borrowed knife."
"Countess Flame Spirit can die, but she must be killed by the people of the East Sang Emperor. In this case, if the people of the Great Yan Dynasty want to take revenge, they will naturally target the old emperor. He will die to atone for his crimes, so won't you inherit the throne?"
"So, you don't have to do anything. All you have to do is sit tight as the crown prince and wait to inherit the throne.
"When that time comes, you can marry whoever you want and no one will be able to stop you."
"Yes!" Leng Yexiao nodded. "So, what should we do?"
"What do you think …"
In other people's eyes, they were uncle and nephew, but in fact, they were father and son. They put their heads together and began to discuss in a low voice.
To their surprise, Feng Wu had heard every word they said, even though they thought it was a secret.
Feng Wu listened carefully and heard every word.
"So, that's what Lord Jing is planning …" Feng Wu nodded inwardly. "It's only a matter of time before I kill him. Lord Jing is so … vicious. But Leng Yexiao is the one who came up with this idea. Crown Prince Leng is the real deal. "
However, since it was a dog-eat-dog affair, all Feng Wu needed to do was watch.
After they had discussed all the details, Lord Jing returned to his room.
"Elite guard." Lord Jing stared at Feng Wu. "I have a very difficult task for you."
Feng Wu said, "Your Highness, what is it?"
Lord Jing gave Feng Wu his instructions.
Feng Wu said, "But Princess Flame Spirit has such a powerful Senior Ma with her. I'm afraid that elite guard …"
Lord Jing smirked. "Don't worry. Someone will stop him! All you have to do is take Princess Flame Spirit away. You don't have to do anything else! "
Feng Wu nodded.
She silently mourned for Princess Flame Spirit in her heart.
If Princess Flame Spirit had followed Ma Quanquan back then, Lord Jing's plot wouldn't have succeeded.
Lord Jing had been waiting for an opportunity.
In the meantime —
Princess Flame Spirit even flew into a rage.
"What? He sent someone to the Junwu Empire to propose marriage? Has he lost his mind?! "
Princess Flame Spirit was well-informed and soon learned about Mr. Zuoqiu's trip to the Junwu Empire. She smirked. "Who does Leng Yexiao think he is?! I don't like him, but he doesn't like me? "
"He's just a … I'm not going to marry him! What a joke!
"But why should I like someone else if I don't like him?
"And that Feng Wu!"
Princess Flame Spirit turned to Ma Quanquan. "Grandpa Ma, go kill her!"
Ma Quanquan frowned. "Your Highness …"
Princess Flame Spirit said, "I don't want to see her alive anymore! If she's alive, it'll affect my mood, and I won't be able to focus on my cultivation! Grandpa Ma, that's why I haven't been able to focus on my cultivation lately! "
Princess Flame Spirit stared at the Martial Saint. "Grandpa Ma, please kill her for me. Wipe her off the face of the earth."
Ma Quanquan frowned again. "Your Highness …"
Princess Flame Spirit said, "Grandpa Ma, in the Dayan Dynasty, there's the empress dowager and the princess. As a princess, I've been living such a repressed life. Can't I do whatever I want now that I'm on this continent? Do I have to obey other people's wishes? Grandpa Ma … "
Ma Quanquan finally said, "Feng Wu isn't strong enough. It's easy to kill her, but that super powerful cultivator …"
Princess Flame Spirit said, "Lure her out of the imperial capital. Didn't you say that the super powerful cultivator couldn't leave the imperial capital? If he could, Old Man Huyan wouldn't have gone to save them! Kill her family as well, except for Madam Xuanji. "
Ma Quanquan finally agreed. "Your Highness, please work hard on your cultivation and become a Martial Saint as soon as possible. You're only one step away from becoming a Martial Saint."
Hearing this, Countess Flame Spirit smiled, "Of course! Grandpa Ma, give me seven days. I'll become a Martial Saint in seven days! "
Feng Wu didn't know about Princess Flame Spirit's situation. If she did … Princess Flame Spirit would be in a worse state.
Lord Jing had been waiting for an opportunity, but to his surprise, he received news that Ma Quanquan had left Donglin City.
"Is that true?!"
