Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251 Overwhelming All Sages (1)
Jing Yuan of the Heavenly Dynasty, December 30, 957.

Originally, there were no special solar terms on this day. Although the New Year was approaching, it was still one day away from New Year’s Eve and two days away from New Year’s Eve.

However, this was before. After today, there would definitely be a lot of people celebrating every December 30.

The reason for that was because the inauguration ceremony for the new Sect Leader of Confucianism, Ye Ye, was today.

Starting from last night, the army of the Chaohui Manor and the twenty thousand troops of the vanguard battalion of the Governor’s Manor had imposed a curfew on the entire Chaohui Manor.

Until today, the main roads of Chaohui Manor were still closed to ordinary people. After all, there were not only the Hundred Saints, but also the current Emperor Wen and Martial Saints who were about to arrive at Chaohui Manor.

No matter who these people were offended, the head of the Chaohui Manor and the commander of the Governor’s Manor would not be able to finish their meal.

Early in the morning, streaks of white light descended from Sages appeared in the sky above the Morning Radiance Mansion.

The people of Chaohui Prefecture all stuck their heads out of the window and looked up. They all sighed, “Oh my God, seeing so many saints descend in one day is really worth it.”

Ordinary people were still sighing in admiration, but Jiang Feng, who was the host, did not show up to see the sages at all. At this moment, he was sitting alone with Kong Huangfei in the living room of the backyard of the Sage’s Mansion. He had always followed Kong Huangfei’s living quarters. However, Jiang Feng could sense that there was a powerful soul beside Kong Huangfei.

This soul body gave Jiang Feng a very strange feeling. It seemed to be between a physical body and a soul body. Jiang Feng was prepared to sense its location, but he was unable to see its existence with the naked eye.

Imperial Concubine Kong seemed to have sensed the existence of the Shadow Sickle. She smiled and said, “Ancestral Master, today is the big day for you to succeed as Sect Leader. It is truly a sin for Ziyou to delay you here because of personal matters.”

Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head. “Imperial Concubine is too polite. I, Ye Ye, am able to ascend to the position of Sect Leader. Imperial Concubine, please rest assured. I, Ye Ye, will definitely remember this kindness in my heart.”

Jiang Feng’s words were clearly deeply rooted in Emperor Kong’s heart. Imperial Concubine Kong couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her beautiful eyes glimpsed at Jiang Feng with traces of charm in them.

Jiang Feng felt that Kong Huangfei’s gaze was uncomfortable. He subconsciously straightened his back and asked with a stiff smile, “I wonder what the Emperor Fei is so anxious to find Ye Ye for?”

Imperial Concubine Kong’s eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Feng taking the initiative to bring the topic up. Imperial Concubine Kong’s pretty face was flushed red, as if she was a little girl who hadn’t left the pavilion.

But in fact, everyone knew that Kong Huangfei’s children were already very old.

“Ancestor, since you said so, then Ziyou won’t be polite to you. To be honest, Ziyou does have something to ask for. I hope that Ancestor can help.”

“Oh?” Jiang Feng nodded. “Imperial Concubine, please tell me. As long as Ye Ye can do it, Ye Ye will do his best.”

“Since that’s the case, then Ziyou should thank him first.”

After Kong Huangfei finished speaking, she stood up and bowed to Jiang Feng. Then, she began to talk about what she wanted Jiang Feng to do.

In fact, Jiang Feng had already guessed what Imperial Concubine Kong wanted Jiang Feng to do before she opened her mouth.

This matter was nothing more than trying to use Jiang Xuanhong’s opportunity to participate in the succession ceremony to force him to give up the position of Emperor Wen in one fell swoop.

In fact, Jiang Feng had indeed guessed correctly. What Imperial Concubine Kong said was precisely this matter.

However, Emperor Kong had to give more details, including what kind of preparations she had made, and where she expected to make trouble …

These Kong Imperial Concubines told Jiang Feng everything.

There were two places Imperial Concubine Kong wanted Jiang Feng to support. One was to take Jiang Longji as a disciple, and then support Jiang Longji as the head of the Confucian sect to inherit the throne of Emperor Wen.

Second, Jiang Feng was able to help Kong Huangfei in the event of an accident.

Jiang Feng had no choice but to admit that if the Sect Leader of the Confucian Sect wasn’t him, then Kong Huangfei’s plan could be said to be perfect.

First of all, she had already prepared Kong Fangquan, Qingyang Longlin, Long Qingtian, and the others. This time, Kong Fangquan, Qingyang Longlin, Long Qingtian, and the others, or Emperor Concubine Kong herself had basically used all of her strength.

They arranged for all of their troops to be stationed in the Xuangan Manor not far from the Heavenly Capital, because that was the only place Jiang Xuanhong would return to.

Once Jiang Xuanhong entered the Xuanqian Manor, Kong Huangfei and the others immediately launched a mutiny.

At that time, if Jiang Xuanhong did not agree to pass the throne to Jiang Longji, then Kong Huangfei and the others would kill Jiang Xuanhong and contact the Desolate race criminals. At that time, when the Heavenly Dynasty was in danger, the court officials naturally did not have the time to slowly investigate the cause of Jiang Xuanhong’s death. In order to select a leading official in time, they would definitely support Jiang Longji’s ascension.

Of course, all of Kong Huangfei’s plans were based on everything going smoothly.

Now that Jiang Feng knew about her plan, it would be very difficult for Kong Huangfei to succeed. After all, at this moment, Jiang Feng was thinking about how to capture Imperial Concubine Kong and the others in one fell swoop.

Jiang Feng stood up and said to Imperial Concubine Kong, “Imperial Concubine, don’t worry. I will definitely try my best to do what you said. In a moment, I will announce at the succession ceremony that I will officially accept His Highness the Second Prince as my disciple.”

“Ah! Then thank you, Master.” Imperial Concubine Kong bowed to Jiang Feng excitedly. Jiang Feng extended his hand to support Imperial Concubine Kong. Suddenly, Imperial Concubine Kong gently placed her hand on the back of Jiang Feng’s hand. She looked at Jiang Feng with charming eyes and said, “I really don’t know how to repay you for helping Ziyou so much.”

Imperial Concubine Kong’s actions startled Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng retracted his hands as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at Imperial Concubine Kong nervously and said with an awkward expression, “Then … Imperial Concubine, you should be busy. My succession ceremony is about to begin. I have to go and take a look first.”

Without waiting for Imperial Concubine Kong to reply, Jiang Feng immediately flew out of the living room.

In the living room, Kong Huangfei looked at Jiang Feng’s back and laughed infatuatedly. Her laughter was like a silver bell, crisp and pleasant to the ear …

“Shadow Sickle, have you found Ye Ye’s back?”

Imperial Concubine Kong had just finished asking when a shadow separated from behind her.

Soon, the shadow slowly rose to become a black-robed man.

“Master, this subordinate has investigated all the Ye Clans within the scope of the Heavenly Dynasty. However, there is no Ye Ye in any Ye Clan of a slightly larger scale. All the subordinates suspect that Ye Ye’s cultivation has either increased by leaps and bounds due to a fortuitous encounter, or … his identity is fake.” Ying Sickle said.

“Whether it’s real or fake, he has to rely on us if he wants to establish himself in Confucianism. Therefore, I think a smart person like him should know how to choose the successor to the position of Emperor Wen.”

“This subordinate thinks it’s better to guard against this person. We still need to make more preparations for the mutiny in the Xuangan Manor.”

“Yes, that’s what I think.”

The early morning sun suddenly pierced through the clouds and shone down. Jiang Feng, who had just left the Sage’s Mansion, got into the carriage that had been prepared and rushed towards the Kong Clan’s inner mansion.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Feng was washing his hands with a kettle. He said to himself, “Be obedient … Although Kong Ziyou is not a good person, she is at least my father’s woman. If Father found out that she seduced me just now, would Father cut off my hand?”

Jiang Feng shook his head and began to hold his breath, preparing for the upcoming succession ceremony.

Although the succession ceremony wouldn’t begin until noon, Jiang Feng knew that he still had a lot of troubles to deal with before it started.

Confucianism and Taoism had always been the two largest forces in the Heavenly Dynasty.

There were many experts in the Taoist sect. Although Jun’er was the only one who often walked in the mortal world, if he really forced out those old monsters who were in seclusion, there probably wouldn’t be more experts from any faction in the entire Heavenly Dynasty than them.

Compared to Taoist sects, Confucian sects did not have as many experts as Taoist sects, but they were superior to Taoist sects in terms of the number of disciples. Moreover, no matter if it was the imperial court or the people, there were not a few people who cultivated Confucianism and Taoism.

In the past, Kong Qiuni was in charge of the Confucian Sect, so the Hundred Saints naturally didn’t dare to compete with him.

But now that Kong Qiuni was dead, how could the Hundred Saints tolerate the Confucian Sect’s supremacy?

Therefore, Jiang Feng understood that today’s inheritance ceremony was either because he had hammered the Hundred Saints, or because the Hundred Saints had humiliated him.

As he spoke, the carriage Jiang Feng was riding in had already arrived at the back door of the Kong Clan’s inner mansion. Mo Han and Yan Jiaojiao had always been guarding the back door. When they saw Jiang Feng get out of the carriage, their mother and son heaved a sigh of relief.

“Aiyo, oh, oh, my master, you’re here. There are already over a hundred saints sitting in the Temple of Wen, and they’re all shouting why you haven’t gone out to see them yet.

The ones who shouted the most were the Zongheng Clan’s Su Qinyi and the Za Clan’s Lu Hanwei.

By the way, you should also pay attention to that Yin Yang Zhou Yanyang. My husband said that before. “Of all the Hundred Saints, Zhou Yanyang is the most sinister sage.”

Jiang Feng nodded after hearing Yan Jiaojiao’s words. He smiled and asked Yan Jiaojiao, “Auntie, do you want me to go over now or change my clothes?”

“I think it’s better to go over now and change your clothes when the grand ceremony is held. If there’s a fight now, aren’t you afraid of getting your clothes dirty?”

Yan Jiaojiao said rationally.

Jiang Feng laughed heartily after hearing Yan Jiaojiao’s words. He nodded and said, “Auntie, you’re right. Then I’ll go over now.”

Within the vast Wen Sheng Temple, hundreds of sages were sitting together. There was only one master among them, and he was currently floating in the air. It was obvious that he was waiting for Jiang Feng to take a seat.

Below the main seat were two rows of seats, the first on the left was Jun’er, and the first on the right was Liu Dao wearing a white mask.

Just as Jiang Feng approached the Wen Sheng Temple, he heard someone shouting, “What exactly is this Ye Ye? We have over a hundred sages sitting here waiting for him. He actually put on airs with us.”
