Chapter 58 The handle is in
After that, Chen Fei thought that Linghu Xuanzhou had accepted his fate, but never expected that the fierce counterattack had just begun. Linghu Xuanzhou did not want to fight Shen Fei openly, but secretly arranged for people to kill him. The imperial team responsible for escorting him had not yet left the city, but had been repeatedly subjected to accidents such as beggars forcibly begging, bombing the city walls, etc. If it weren't for the last moment that Chu Xie was called out, the army would have been unfavorable and their fighting spirit would be greatly damaged. Finally arrived in Nantong, Linghu Xuanzhou actually controlled the sirens to attack the city from the sea, completely cutting off the idea of Chen Fei going to the imperial capital by sea. In desperation, he could only walk on land and set foot on the business road, but he was ambushed again, or Shen Fei was still alive. By turning the tide with his own strength, he exposes the enemy's conspiracy and saves the lives of the soldiers. The journey to the imperial capital is full of difficulties. Many people died along the way. Finally, they walked halfway through the journey and arrived at Shangqiu, the throat of the north and south transit. They thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but they knew that the enemy's minions were everywhere. It turned out that Shangqiu City had long become the object of the Tongtian Sect. The lord of Shangqiu City Tuoba Jun and the Tongtian Sect scholars were in a mess and prepared to join forces to harm Chen Fei and his party. This led to a separation of life and death at night. However, the ending was always good. Linghu Xuanzhou died tragically, and the battle between the two ended with Chen Fei's final victory.
The third thing that happened at night was that Qingpyo, which originally belonged to Linghu Xuanzhou, betrayed the original owner and turned to Chen Fei. Qingpyo was a top monster with a failed dragon transformation and dispersed the demonic power. It was the same as Qi Xiao, now has average strength but has unlimited potential. It regards Chen Fei as its savior and obeys him. However, it dislikes each other with the most powerful Gan Xiao, the Gan Xiao, who is by Chen Fei's side. It temporarily stopped due to Chen Fei's majesty. Objectively speaking, Qingpyo is the largest and most powerful monster among all the monsters that Chen Fei conquered. Its body length is more than three meters, with one foot of poisonous fangs. It only needs a drop of venom to poison an elephant in an incense stick of time. Its body is covered with hard scales. The strength of the seven little brothers in the joint efforts must be above it, but the strength of the single body must not be comparable to it.
Qingpython regarded Chen Fei as his benefactor, so he obeyed him only by his orders. It was just that he looked fierce and fearful and was not easy to get close to. Nalan Ruoxue, a girl, hated these sticky and smooth creatures the most, and it was difficult for a moment to accept it.
Speaking of Nalan Ruoxue, she was blocked by Chu Xie in the house for a night and did not sleep. Chen Fei first left, she did not go out. After a while, there was a stir in the city lord's mansion and realized the seriousness of the problem. She took the sword and walked out, but could no longer get out because Chu Xie blocked his way.
Chu Xie looks careless on the surface and always looks indifferent. In fact, he is quite righteous and will not talk about his righteousness. He probably knows where Chen Fei is going, and can understand what Chen Fei thinks. He actually gave up his courage and ruthlessness and came back to protect Nalan Ruoxue. There are two benefits to doing this. One is to prevent bad people from sneak attacking, and Ruoxue encounters an accident; the other is to prevent her from going deep into danger and splitting Chen Fei's heart.
Ruoxue couldn't understand and fought with Chu Xie. The whole room was destroyed by the extraordinary actions of the two people. It was terrible. The upstairs and downstairs were in chaos. The owner of the shop was whining. When they were tired of being beaten, they were a little happy for a while. Ruoxue suddenly raised his hand and slapped Chu Xie. The fierce light in the latter's eyes flashed, but he still endured it. He pressed his sword on her and did not let go. He just stood still and stalemateed each other for a night, until early morning, when Chen Fei returned safely. Ruoxue rushed into Chen Fei's arms with ecstasy, hugged him tightly, and did not let go. While crying and thrusting his chest, he cried with joy.
Chen Fei looked at Chu Xie thankfully, and then he realized that the other party had already turned around and left. Chu Xie was not good at speaking and did not like to do things about his mother-in-law. When Chen Fei came, he left. He took the initiative to do what he saw, but did not seek credit and did not ask others to remember his good deeds. From a certain level, his personality is actually quite noble.
Tuoba Lie kept sleeping until noon. During this process, Lan'er and Ting'er found the inn one after another. Unlike before, when they returned, they were no longer as close as sisters. Lan'er, who had always been full of affection for Ting'er, looked at each other with a strange look, and felt that there was something to say, but he wanted to stop. What was even more unpredictable was that she seemed to be deliberately staying away from Ting'er. This kind of distance was similar to fear, as if she deliberately kept a distance. Ting'er was the same as before. Although she was a maid, she looked like a generous lady, and she spoke and did things calmly.
According to her, "Last night, Linghu Xuanzhou and Qianqian showed their ferocious side at the same time, attacking each other and fighting each other, ending with Linghu Xuanzhou's victory. She and Lan'er both took advantage of the time of the two fighting. Because the road was dark at night, they were afraid of meeting bad people again, so they took action separately. She hid in the woodshed by herself and did not escape until the sun rose."
Chen Fei asked Lan'er if that was the case. Lan'er's eyes flashed and hesitated and replied: "Yes."
Chen Fei frowned, knowing that she was lying, but he didn't continue asking.
Tuoba Lie didn't wake up until noon. Chen Fei told him what happened at night. Tuoba Lie said, "I missed Chen Fei in my heart, and I already wanted to leave at night. I had already left the hall where Tuoba Jun was invited by the banquet. I walked through the first gate, but I was caught up by him. Somehow I lost consciousness. It was already noon when I woke up again."
Chen Fei knew that Tuoba Lie had lost consciousness, either because he had been drugged or had something to do with the monsters that merged with Tuoba Jun. He framed Tuoba Jun and Tongtian Sect Antong Qu Design to frame them, and Linghu Xuanzhou died tragically under the sword. After hearing this, Tuoba Lie sighed heavily and asked: "Zhen Daozun, where is the body of General Manager Yue? Can you take me to worship?"
Chen Fei replied: "Master Yue is loyal and worthy of respect. Your Highness has just woken up and has some rest and eat something. It is not too late to go to worship when you are more energetic."
Tuoba Lie showed a worried look and said, "That's the way, but where can I eat? Now, the father ordered the criminals whom I escorted were all dead and had no complete corpses. The closest person to my father, my uncle, as a member of the Tongtian Sect, must have formed a bond with me. So many officers and soldiers died last night, and the capital was ahead of me, but how can I get in touch with my father?" Tuoba Lie changed his tone and expressed his worries. In fact, when Shen Fei told him what happened last night, his expression was It is getting ugly, I am afraid I am already worried, but Gu Du Chenfei's face has changed his perspective and said it tactfully. He said it right. Linghu Xuanzhou's death seems to be a good thing, but in fact it has pushed them into a desperate situation. Everyone knows the truth that the saint's order cannot be violated. Now the two suspects are dead, and His Majesty the Emperor cannot handle the work, and he offended His Majesty the Emperor's most trusted brother, Tuoba Jun, the emperor's uncle, which is a fuel to the fire. If Uncle Emperor takes advantage of this incident and slanders him, it will be very unfavorable to him.
Chen Fei's expression remained unchanged. He had already expected what the prince's prince was thinking, and had already thought of a solution. He walked to the window and pushed a crack open. Seeing the people coming and going in Shangqiu City during the day, it was very lively, and said, "Your Highness's worries are unnecessary. I have already thought about the back road. You don't need to worry?"
"Can the Lord of Dao say it clearly?" Tuoba Lie obviously did not believe Chen Fei's words.
Chen Fei turned around, looked over with a torch, and said, "The key to the problem is whether the incident last night was the criminal's accomplice who was extremely guilty of the evil Tongtian Sect came to attack the defensive fortress of the human country in order to rescue his partners, slaughtered people's lives at will, and took the opportunity to burn, kill, loot and do evil; or was it a series of tragedies caused by the unfavorable guardianship of the prisoner, causing the prisoner to flee.
If it is the former, Your Majesty will definitely be furious to the Tongtian Sect and reward His Highness and the City Lord with heavy rewards to His Highness and the City Lord, and reward two heroes of the human country who have made contributions in the city and resisted the invasion of the cult with mere manpower; if it is the latter, there will be some trouble, and His Highness will indeed fall into an unfavorable situation.
What kind of ruling will His Majesty the Emperor make depends entirely on the report of your uncle Tuoba Jun. The incident happened last night in Tuoba Jun's mansion. The scope of the impact did not affect the common people in the city. There is a clear boundary. Only Tuoba Jun and his confidants know the truth. Moreover, Tuoba Jun is a person that your father values and is close to, and he speaks much more powerful than your Highness. These two reasons together determine that Tuoba Jun's report will have a fatal impact on your emperor's view on this matter, and determine whether you have made great contributions or made a big mistake in this incident."
"What Chen Daozun said is very true, but since the Emperor is a member of the Tongtian Sect, I am now also fighting against the sect he is in. In other words, I am fighting against him in disguise. As usual, the Emperor will inevitably report memorials that are unfavorable to me."
"No, he won't." Chen Fei closed the window with a "slap" and answered firmly.
"Why!" Tuoba Jun was puzzled.
"Because that old guy has an important handle to hold it in my hand." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Chen Fei's mouth.
If you want to control someone, you must first grasp his weakness. Sister Hu’s weakness is a little white face, Linghu Xuanzhou’s weakness is Sister Hu. What is his weakness?
Fame and profit!
Any act that can shake his reputation is a fatal means that can threaten him. Tuoba Jun is different from Linghu Xuanzhou. Linghu Xuanzhou is fighting the country with no background at all. He can only use any means to improve his strength, regardless of the cost. The outside world will definitely not evaluate him very well. Tuoba Jun is different. He is born in the royal family and enjoys endless wealth while holding endless power. He is a person born with a golden spoon in his mouth. In this case, he will value his reputation and the trust of His Majesty the Emperor in him more than anything else.
Tuoba Jun could not allow his reputation to be destroyed, so he could only trade with the Tongtian Sect in private, and could only liberate Linghu Xuanzhou in secret at night. Therefore, if you want to control him for your own use, you only need fatal evidence that can damage his reputation. There is one thing on the side of Chen Fei, which can be said to be a arrangement of God.
Tuoba Jun and Tongtian Sect secretly communicated with each other, and it was originally a matter of no trace to be found, but in order to achieve immortality, he merged with monsters, but it was a foregone conclusion and simple to distinguish. Chen Fei looked at it and found that the parts of his body were very different from people, so he remembered it in his heart.
However, Chen Fei did not tell Tuoba Lieming about this matter. He just said that the other party had a very important handle on his own hands. As long as this handle was there, Tuoba Jun would definitely submit and do whatever he asked him to do, so that he would go east and never dare to go west. That's it.
...
Finally, the prince was stabilized, and Chen Fei sneaked into the city lord's mansion that night, kicking open Tuoba Jun's door as if he had entered a no-man's land.
He said to Tuoba Jun: "You can choose two roads. Either you can turn the incident in Shangqiu City into a bold and arrogant attack, stand on the same front with Prince Lie, and fiercely criticize the behavior of Tongtian Sect and be a hero who has made contributions to the city. Or you can get rid of the matter of combining two monsters into one, become a scum of the royal family, and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Choose the two roads yourself."
Tuoba Jun chose the former without much hesitation. He even took out a memorial that was highly consistent with Chen Fei's expected content from under the pillow and handed it to Chen Fei to see, so that he could rest assured that the two of them had the same idea. After that, it was even more clear that the food and water sources needed for the thousand-man army to set off were ready, and they could leave the city early tomorrow morning to please Chen Fei.
"It's true to be tactful!" Chen Fei smiled. Compared with Linghu Xuanzhou, these royal family members who cherish their lives are much easier to deal with.
A cherished life is a distinctive feature of the dignitaries born with a golden spoon in their mouthful. They are domineering in their daily lives and treat their servants who serve like dogs as vicious as they are. But once they encounter an existence that really threatens their lives, they immediately admit defeat. If their relatives refuse to recognize them, they can do whatever they ask them to do. They only have the word "enjoyment" in their eyes. In order to fully enjoy happiness, they need to obtain a long life, and they will not hesitate to make a deal with the devil. Tuoba Jun is no longer a human being. He, like Linghu Xuanzhou, completed it. The fusion with monsters has a lifespan that is beyond the reach of mortals, but it is no longer a human being. It is hard to imagine that Chen Fei even survived to enjoy eternal wealth and honor. Several years later, when his biological sons were all old and unable to walk, he was still alive and enjoying his life. What kind of treatment would be, and what kind of situation would it be? Will the demonized body be discovered? No matter what, by that time, the sons who could never inherit the throne would definitely regard him as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.
