In the Seventh Prince Bi Ying's residence, there were only four people sitting at a luxurious table. There were two men and two women. The women were incomparably beautiful, while the men were all dragons among men. They all raised their cups repeatedly!
These two men were naturally Ling Dong and Seventh Prince Bi Ying! At least on the surface, Bi Ying still regarded Ling Dong with great importance. The table was filled with rare delicacies, and because Ling Dong had brought his female companion, Liu Yaoguang, Seventh Prince Bi Ying had specially arranged for his princess consort to accompany him.
If it were any other young man, being treated as an honored guest by the heir of a powerful empire, he would probably be so excited that he wouldn't be able to find his bearings. How could he have any other thoughts?
In fact, Ling Dong had come today with anger. To put it bluntly, it was because of the Ling family's matter.
In fact, Ling Dong had thought that something like the Ling family's near-annihilation would never happen with so many backup plans that he had set up.
However, it had happened. The backup plans that Ling Dong had set up were all useless.
Let's take Seventh Prince Bi Ying as an example. Back then, Ling Dong directly entered the Seventh Prince's Residence. He was the one who helped Seventh Prince Bi Ying establish a connection with the Alkaid Pavilion under Zi Yao's leadership. Then, he persuaded his teacher, Master Yuan Chen, to change his neutral stance and support Seventh Prince Bi Ying!
As a result, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, was able to obtain the dominant position in the family today. It also allowed Zi Yao to successfully obtain the position of Alkaid City's Pavilion Lord. It was a win-win situation.
With the appearance of such a win-win situation, Ling Dong, Zi Yao, and Mansion Master Yuan, who had participated in this matter, all became closer to the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying. It could be said that they were all Seventh Prince Bi Ying's trusted aides. They could even be said to be his team.
Furthermore, Ling Dong had specially mentioned to the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, that he should take care of the Ling Family in the faraway Nanshan Region. The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, had readily agreed!
However, what angered Ling Dong the most was that when the Ling Clan was in danger of being exterminated, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, did not do anything. Not to mention helping the Ling Clan, he did not even give Ling Dong a warning.
With the current power of the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, the intelligence network that he controlled was not limited to the Kuixing Pavilion. However, regardless of whether it was the Kuixing Pavilion or the intelligence network that the Seventh Prince had set up himself, the news that the Ling Family of South Mountain Commandery was about to be exterminated would definitely be known!
The Seventh Prince's inaction made Ling Dong feel a sense of alienation and anger. Of course, Ling Dong would not directly denounce the Seventh Prince for this matter. If the Seventh Prince tried to evade the blame, Ling Dong would lose face.
Ling Dong was here today mainly to see Seventh Prince Bi Ying's attitude!
"Your Royal Highness, Seventh Prince Bi Ying, I'm here today to ask you to help me deal with someone!" Throughout the entire journey, Ling Dong had not had a good meal. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Ling Dong suddenly looked at the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, with a burning gaze!
The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, was still wantonly sizing up Ling Dong's female companion, Liu Yaoguang. To be honest, Seventh Prince Bi Ying's consort was considered a stunning beauty. She could be compared to Liu Yaoguang.
However, Liu Yaoguang's elegant temperament was incomparable to Seventh Prince Bi Ying's consort's. This made Seventh Prince Bi Ying, who was accompanying them, a little jealous. How could such a beauty fall into Ling Dong's hands?
Controlling the world's power and lying on the lap of a beauty was probably Seventh Prince Bi Ying's lifelong pursuit!
"Deal with … someone?" Seventh Prince Bi Ying, who was secretly jealous, was stunned for a moment. Then, a playful smile appeared on his face. "Younger Brother Ling, who offended you? Just tell me. No matter who it is, even if it's a descendant of the imperial family, I will make them suffer until they hover between life and death. I will help Younger Brother Ling vent your anger!"
Seeing Seventh Prince Bi Ying's promise, Ling Dong wasn't in a hurry to say anything. Instead, he glanced at Bi Ying and asked, "Really?"
Seventh Prince Bi Ying's heart skipped a beat when he heard Ling Dong's words. He secretly blamed himself for speaking too slowly. However, it wasn't good for him to go back on his words. He smiled and said, "Younger Brother Ling, just tell me who it is. Who has the guts to offend Younger Brother Ling? I will definitely help Younger Brother Ling vent your anger!"
Although he said this, Seventh Prince Bi Ying was muttering in his heart. Seventh Prince Bi Ying was an extremely intelligent person. Since Ling Dong had asked him to help deal with someone, it was highly possible that this person was an official of the Empire. Moreover, his position wasn't low. It could even be very high.
Otherwise, if it was an ordinary person, Ling Dong wouldn't even need to ask him, the Seventh Prince, for help.
With this judgment, the expression on the Seventh Prince's face, which had just relaxed, immediately became somewhat unsightly. This was because he suddenly recalled the information regarding Nanshan Region's Ling family that was sent to him a month ago.
That matter was very troublesome for him. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to bide his time. He didn't expect to receive news a few days ago that this Ling Dong had single-handedly saved the entire Ling family. Killing Earth Realm martial artists was as easy as chopping vegetables. It was simply too easy.
What shocked Seventh Prince Bi Ying the most was that Ling Dong had actually killed a Heaven Realm beginner stage expert so easily. Putting aside the influence behind Ling Dong, just based on Ling Dong's impressive skills, it was enough to make him, the Seventh Prince, lower his head! This was also the reason why Seventh Prince Bi Ying was so cordial towards Ling Dong today!
However, at this moment, Seventh Prince Bi Ying's expression was a little uncomfortable. "Could it be that Ling Dong is here for that matter?"
"Alright, Ling shall thank Your Highness in advance! The person that Ling wants Your Highness to deal with is the Deputy Minister of the Grand Council, Fei Anmin! "
When Ling Dong mentioned the words' Deputy Minister of the Grand Council, Fei Anmin ', Seventh Prince Bi Ying had just made his judgment. His expression couldn't help but stiffen. What he was afraid of had come true!
After gently waving his hand, Seventh Prince Bi Ying dismissed his consort. He then frowned and said, "Younger Brother Ling, how did that Deputy Minister of the Grand Council, Fei Anmin, offend you? If it isn't a big matter or if there aren't any losses, why don't I take the lead and let him apologize to you? "
"There aren't any losses? Your Highness, Ling's entire family of more than a thousand people was almost annihilated by Fei Anmin. Do you think this matter can be settled peacefully? Ling only hopes that Your Highness can demote Fei Anmin by two ranks. As for the rest, I, Ling, can handle it properly! "Ling Dong said.
The reason why Ling Dong made such a request was because Fei Anmin, who had reached the rank of Deputy Minister of the Grand Council, was already one of the top officials of the Yaoguang Empire. He had at least two hundred elite guards when he went out. According to Ling Dong's memory, among the two hundred guards of the Yaoguang Empire's important officials, more than half of them were Earth Realm martial artists.
The minority of Xiantian Realm Level Eight and Nine Level Xiantian Realm martial artists were also there to clear the path and scout. Not only that, Ling Dong reckoned that Fei Anmin had the protection of the elite martial artists sent by the Fei Clan or even the Kuixing Pavilion. If Ling Dong wanted to kill Fei Anmin silently, it would be impossible!
If there was a big commotion, Ling Dong might even be implicated. Even if Ling Dong was lucky enough to kill Fei Anmin, Ling Dong would have to use some real means. The Empire would then know that it was Ling Dong who did it.
In that case, it would be equivalent to Ling Dong falling out with the Yaoguang Empire. Ling Dong wasn't afraid of the Yaoguang Empire. He could just leave and disappear into the crowd. What could the Yaoguang Empire do to Ling Dong? However, the Ling family in Nanshan County couldn't do the same. Therefore, before Ling Dong had the power, he couldn't fall out with the Yaoguang Empire!
Hearing Ling Dong's words, Seventh Prince Bi Ying was shocked at first. Then, he revealed an astonished expression and said, "Sigh, Younger Brother Ling, this Prince went to the Senhe County in the east a few days ago to patrol. When I came back a few days ago, I saw the news that the Ling family was in danger. Sigh, fortunately, Younger Brother Ling showed off his strength. Otherwise, this Prince would have regretted it for the rest of his life! "
"Hmph, you keep pretending! Even if I went to patrol, the news would have been sent to you in time! " Ling Dong sneered inwardly. However, he said coldly, "It's still considered lucky. However, Ling will definitely get rid of the mastermind behind this!"
Ling Dong wasn't lying. The Ling family had already been exterminated once in his previous life. In this life, Ling Dong would definitely not allow any problems to happen to the family. The fact that the family had almost been exterminated a few days ago had already touched Ling Dong's nerves.
Moreover, there was only a thousand days of being a thief. How could there be a thousand days of guarding against a thief? If the threat wasn't eliminated, no matter how good the Ling family's defense was, the enemy would still find an opportunity to strike!
Taking care of Fei Anmin, the Fei family's Deputy Minister of Military Affairs in the Yaoguang Empire, was only Ling Dong's first step!
"There must be some misunderstanding here, right? Although Master Fei has a high position in the military, he is also very close to this Prince. He often drinks and chats with me. He shouldn't be that kind of person! Younger Brother Ling, why don't this Prince host a banquet tomorrow night and be the peacemaker to clear up any misunderstandings! Of course, Fei Anmin will have to prepare a generous gift for Younger Brother Ling and the Ling family to calm down! "Seventh Prince Bi Ying said after pondering for a while.
Hearing this, Ling Dong's face suddenly turned cold.
The Seventh Prince's words contained a lot of meanings!
First of all, the Seventh Prince had pointed out that the powerful Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, Fei Anmin, was already one of his men. Therefore, Ling Dong's request was impossible!
Furthermore, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, seemed to know that Fei Anmin was the culprit. The Seventh Prince's intention was for him to be the peacemaker. He would warn Fei Anmin and ask Fei Anmin to prepare a generous gift for Ling Dong. Then, this matter would be resolved!
Although the Seventh Prince's words were beautiful, in Ling Dong's eyes, there was only one sentence!
In the eyes of the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, a Vice Minister of the Grand Council who held great power in the military was much more important than Ling Dong. He would never lose the support of a vice minister of the Grand Council who was in charge of a heavy machine for Ling Dong!
To put it bluntly, it was all about benefits! Whoever brought the most support to the Seventh Prince was the most important person in the Seventh Prince Bi Ying's heart!
No matter what, the Seventh Prince needed the support of the military if he wanted to smoothly ascend the throne!
"Your Highness, if your family was almost wiped out, would you still shake hands and make peace with the mastermind?" Ling Dong did not leave any face for the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince's face reddened, and he was a little angry. In his eyes, Ling Dong was shameless!
"Brother Ling, you should think about it carefully! It's too common to not kill a snake and be bitten by it! Moreover, with Fei Anmin's background, even I have to be wary of him. You should think about it carefully! "The Seventh Prince's voice suddenly turned cold, and he directly pointed out this sentence!
Ling Dong's heart turned cold, and his eyes turned cold. He stood up abruptly. "Your Highness, I only need one answer from you. This Fei Anmin, are you going to deal with him or not?"
