Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1310
Chapter 1310 A Conspiracy of Smoke Around the Cold Heavens (1)
Some were the Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophets. The greater the tremor was, the first to sense it was often the small characters who lived at the bottom of the river.
The sudden death of East Emperor Linyi. Although the upper classes in Yilong City knew that a huge change was about to happen, they subconsciously maintained their calm and normalcy until the chaos truly occurred. So as not to expose his intentions and attract the attention of others.
However, the ordinary citizens of Yilong City were no longer so particular, and the rumors spread everywhere in the streets. The price of spirit grain rice and other necessities of life had risen crazily. However, in just two days, nearly half of the ordinary people in the huge Bilong City had actually left.
East Emperor Linyi didn’t give much real power to his seven children when he was alive, so even though East Emperor Qian, East Emperor Bing, and East Emperor Kun called him Huan, in fact, he wasn’t much stronger than Dong Huang Jue in terms of real power.
But now that East Emperor Linyi is dead, East Emperor Qian, East Emperor Bing and East Emperor Kun are recognized as the most powerful successors to the Junior Priestess position. Therefore, there was no need to guess. The City Lord of the 27 cities under Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor would definitely take the initiative to show goodwill to the three of them.
In addition to their mother’s influence, the three of them had expanded like balloons in the past two days.
However, if one truly wanted to start a war, one had to rely on the number of generals.
The twenty-seven City Lords who supported East Emperor Qian and the others were moving their troops to Yilong City. It would still take some time for them to move all their troops to Yilong City. During this period of time, unless Yuchi Jue personally led the Silver Dragon Army to attack, Jiang Feng and his Black Wolf Cavalry would rarely meet any opponents under his and Yao Dao’s leadership.
However, Yuchi Jue had already signed an agreement with East Emperor Qian, East Emperor Bing, and East Emperor Kun. No matter who inherited Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor’s Junior Priestess in the future, Yuchi Jue’s interests and power would be protected.
Therefore, Yuchi Jue decided to arrange all the generals of the Martial Department to be near the suburbs of Yilong City during this period of time. The beautiful name was to strengthen the city defense. In fact, it was just to show that he did not want to interfere in the matter of seizing the throne.
Yuchi felt that this matter was not of concern to him, and East Emperor Qian and the others had yet to deploy their troops. In this time difference, Jiang Feng and the others began to rampage through the entire Bilong City.
Small casinos with only 30 to 50 gamblers, big ones like the private casinos in East Emperor Qian, East Emperor Bing, and East Emperor Kun. Jiang Feng and the others hadn’t let go of them. They went to prohibit gambling anytime, anywhere, from day to night.
Due to time constraints, the situation is urgent. Jiang Feng and the others could no longer care about whether it was reasonable or not. They had all come up with a series of hooliganism methods.
You said you were chatting at the casino and you weren’t gambling? No matter what, catch!
You said you owned a teahouse and you didn’t even have any gambling equipment? No matter what, you can’t bet on a single pair of tea leaves, can you? Catch!
You said you were having a private party at home and everyone was gathered to admire antique calligraphy? Or, who knows if you’re betting on a calligraphy, a word count, or a stroke of a single pair? Still grabbing!
After capturing him, he would be fined a redeemer. Jiang Feng’s fine was set according to his identity and status. The most pitiful person was the Yilong City Qian Clan’s Great Young Master. Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and directly fined the other party ten million divine song coins.
Not only is there no discount on this price, it must be paid within a day. Because of the time, Jiang Feng did not have the patience to wait slowly. However, Jiang Feng treated all those who hadn’t come to redeem a person for more than a day as if their family had given up on redeeming a person. He changed hands and raised his saber to land on the ground.
It had only been six days since East Emperor Linyi’s death. Not to mention the casinos, even the tea drinkers in the teahouse didn’t dare to sit together.
The entire Yilong City was filled with grievances because of Jiang Feng and the others’ ban on gambling. Fortunately, Jiang Feng and the others didn’t come back and bring disaster to the ordinary people. The people who had been chased after by Jiang Feng and the others basically deserved to be punished. Therefore, although there were complaints in Yilong City these past few days, there was no lack of people who secretly set off firecrackers.
It was almost dusk, and Qian Ruoduo, Nangong Wuliang, Periclastic emptiness, and East Emperor Qian had made an appointment to meet at the Smoke Round Cold Villa.
The reason the four of them sat together was to discuss how to deal with the ban on gambling that was almost out of control. Under the current situation, Qian Wuduo, Nangong Wuliang, and Periclastic emptiness were willing to gather with East Emperor Qian in private. This undoubtedly gave another signal.
This was the reason why the three of them wanted to support East Emperor Qian. At the very least, they had given East Emperor Qian a chance to convince them.
The Smoke Winding Cold Villa was located at the east of Yilong City. Although its reputation in Yilong City was not small, the place was very hidden.
Because this meeting was a relatively secret matter, East Emperor Qian did not bring many guards with him. He only brought along three experts from the Ganhe Hall.
Of course, for the sake of secrecy, East Emperor Qian did not ride in his divine song flying carriage. Instead, he rode in a horse carriage that looked very ordinary.
Inside the carriage, East Emperor Qian asked, “Have you heard anything from East Emperor Jue recently?”
“I heard that they recruited quite a few more men and bought quite a few Black Scaled Wolf Cavalry. However, the ones they recruited were all wounded soldiers who only had half their lives left. I wonder what they really wanted to do.”
“Whatever they want, you must keep an eye on them. They’ve made a lot of money these days, and they’ve taken nearly two hundred million from me alone.
The City Lord of the Nine Cities who supported me has already brought his soldiers over. In at most two days, this Yilong City will be surrounded by my men into iron barrels. At that time, even if Jiang Feng had the ability to reach the heavens, it would be impossible for him to bring East Emperor Jue along and continue jumping around.
So all you have to do is not let them get out of Yilong City in these two days. ”
“Yes! Please rest assured, Young Master. We will never let the people from Qiyue Academy leave Yilong City in these two days!” The three subordinates in the carriage said respectfully to East Emperor Qian.
East Emperor Qian nodded and said, “In addition, East Emperor Bing and East Emperor Kun have to keep an eye on them. In the end, East Emperor Jue won’t be able to achieve much. The ones who really need to be on guard are the two of them.”
“This subordinate understands. This subordinate has always sent people to follow Second Miss and Third Young Master. Please rest assured, Young Master.”
“Young Master, we’re here.” The driver’s voice came from outside the carriage.
East Emperor Qian glanced at the three subordinates in the carriage with satisfaction. He said indifferently, “Anyway, you can do things for me easily. As long as I can succeed in Young Master, I will definitely benefit from you in the future.”
“This subordinate will definitely do his utmost to serve Young Master, even if he is shattered by Young Master, he will not shy away!”
After East Emperor Qian finished his training for the three subordinates, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned out. There was not much money outside the carriage, Nangong Wuliang, and Periclastic emptiness were all present.
Just as East Emperor Qian appeared, Qian Wuduo immediately shouted, “Quick! Set up a foot for Big Young Master.”
As soon as Qian Wuduo finished speaking, the two servants of the Cold Heaven Manor immediately ran to the side and knelt on the ground, using the back to give East Emperor Qian the stairs to the carriage.
East Emperor Qian stepped on the servant’s back and got out of the carriage. He cupped his fists at Qian Wuduo, Nangong Wuliang, and Periclastic emptiness and said, “Lord Nangong, Lord Zhou, and Boss Qian, I’m really sorry to keep the three of you waiting. East Emperor Qian is here to apologize.”
“Big Young Master’s words are too polite. It’s already a great honor for me to be able to come to our Cold Smoke Villa. How dare I accept Big Young Master’s apology?”
“That’s right, Boss Qian’s words are reasonable. Eldest Young Master is about to succeed the position of Young Master. How can we afford to be apologized for by Eldest Young Master?”
Nangong Wuliang’s words were incomparably straightforward. Hearing this, East Emperor Qian immediately revealed a brilliant smile.
East Emperor Qian laughed and said, “Lord Nangong really likes to joke. Since we are all here now, why don’t we just sit down in Boss Qian’s manor and talk about it in detail?”
“Yes, yes, yes. I have already prepared a meal at the Yuan Zhen Pavilion. Please come with me, three distinguished guests.”
Qian Wuduo enthusiastically led the way as the master. Very quickly, Nangong Wuliang and the other four gathered in the Primordial Pavilion of the Smoke Winding Heaven Manor.
Usually, there was a rhythm to the conversation, especially when it came to big things.
Under normal circumstances, they would not directly talk about things, but rather talk about leisure, talk about romance, and toast to each other.
It was only after the atmosphere at the banquet had reached a certain level of harmony that the topic began to slowly get to the point.
Just as East Emperor Qian and the others were pushing cups in the Primordial Pavilion, eating and drinking happily. Jiang Feng and Yao Dao led five hundred people to follow East Emperor Jue outside the Smoke Winding Cold Villa.
This time, Jiang Feng and the others made very little noise and wore night clothes.
Jiang Feng whispered to Dong Huangyue, “Seventh Brother, is your source reliable? Is there really someone gambling in this manor?”
“Reliable, absolutely reliable!” “I heard a friend of mine tell me that this manor is the legendary Smoke Winding Cold Manor,” Dong Huangyue said confidently.
You know the Qian family, don’t you? Last time, you captured Great Young Master and fined him ten million divine song coins. His family was the richest man in Yilong City, and this manor was specially used to receive wealthy businessmen from all over Yilong City.
I can guarantee that we will definitely reap a lot of benefits from rushing in this time. ”
East Emperor Jue had been addicted to sweeping gambling these past few days, so his eyes were shining brightly as he spoke.
Jiang Feng shook his head helplessly. He lowered his voice and said, “According to the information I received, we must leave Yilong City by dawn tomorrow at the latest. Otherwise, we will end up being surrounded in the city.”
Since Seventh Brother is confident that you will get a good harvest, then let’s do the last one tonight. “This time, I will only pay for the gambling. I won’t arrest anyone anymore.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Brother Feng.” Dong Huangyue nodded.
Eastern Emperor Jue and Jiang Feng were discussing in the Smoke Round Cold Heaven Villa, and Yuan Zhen Pavilion finally began to get down to business.
When East Emperor Qian turned to the main topic, he directly looked at Nangong Wuliang and asked, “Lord Nangong, I wonder what you think of my inheritance of the position of Junior Priestess?”
