Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1311
Chapter 1311 A Conspiracy to Smoke Around the Cold Heavens (2)
The meal in the Yuan Zhen Pavilion of the Cold Heaven Villa had also been going on for nearly half an hour.
During this half an hour, East Emperor Qian and Nangong Wuliang had talked about trivial matters, legends, and all sorts of beautiful people from all over the world. Now, with great difficulty, East Emperor Qian took the initiative to raise the issue of the succession of Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor’s Junior Priestess.
East Emperor Qian said, “What do you think of my inheritance of the Junior Priestess position?” He was asking Nangong Wuliang, and this target was undoubtedly very accurate. Right now, there were only East Emperor Qian, Periclastic emptiness, Qian Wudou, and Nangong Wuliang at the banquet.
Periclastic emptiness was Nangong Wuliang’s subordinate, and the Qian Clan where Qian Wuduo was from was, to put it bluntly, Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor’s vassal clan. As long as Nangong Wuliang expresses his support for Periclastic emptiness directly in front of East Emperor Qian and Qian Wuduo, then Periclastic emptiness and Qian Wuduo naturally have no chance of disagreeing.
Before East Emperor Qian asked this question, his face was originally filled with confidence. After all, Nangong Wuliang had said very frankly before, “Great Young Master is someone who will inherit the position of Young Priestess soon.”
But now that East Emperor Qian had really asked this question, Nangong Wuliang’s attitude became ambiguous.
Nangong Wuliang had a faint smile on his face. He held the empty wine cup in his hand and slowly spun it. Nangong Wuliang pondered for a long time before slowly asking, “May I ask Big Young Master, what do you want me to think about your inheritance of the position of Junior Priestess?”
“Of course, I hope that Lord Nangong can lend me a hand and help me ascend to the position of Young Priestess.” East Emperor Qian said as he looked at Nangong Wuliang with a burning gaze.
Nangong Wuliang nodded slightly and said indifferently, “Young Master, I have watched you grow up since you were young. I am naturally happy for you to ascend to the position of Junior Priestess. However, I am afraid that it is a bit difficult for you to hope that I can help you in the cauldron. After all, I watched Second Miss and Third Young Master grow up as well. If I helped you, wouldn’t I be sorry for him?”
“Lord Nangong, there are only the four of us here. Let’s be honest and tell the truth. Just tell me, what conditions do you need to be willing to help me?”
“What conditions?” Nangong Wuliang smiled. “Young master, I really want to know what conditions you can give me if you ascend to the position of Young Master.”
‘”I…” East Emperor Qian was slightly confused.
Indeed, Nangong Wuliang was already Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor’s Wen Siye. In terms of power, only Young Priest Ming was more powerful than him. In other words, Nangong Wuliang had already reached the peak of power, and the only thing that could move him next was wealth.
When East Emperor Qian thought of this, his eyes lit up. He looked at Nangong Wuliang proudly and said, “Lord Nangong, as long as you are willing to help me ascend to the position of Junior Priestess, I will hand over all the rights of banning gambling in the 28 cities under Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor to you. I wonder if you are interested?”
“The right to ban gambling in the Twenty-Eight Cities?” After hearing this, Nangong Wuliang revealed a dumbfounded expression. He was stunned for a moment before suddenly laughing loudly.
Nangong Wuliang smiled back and forth. As he laughed, he kept giving East Emperor Qian a thumbs up.
“Amazing, awesome! Amazing! Young Master, I really underestimate you. You actually thought of using such a condition to impress me. You are simply a wonderful person.”
Seeing that Nangong Wuliang was so happy, East Emperor Qian knew that his proposal would definitely have a chance. It was also true that Eastern Emperor Jue Yan had only banned gambling in Yilong City and had amassed at least a billion dollars in wealth in a short period of time.
If Nangong Wuliang were to be given all the gambling rights in the 28 cities, including Yilong City, how much money would Nangong Wuliang be able to earn?
Just as East Emperor Qian was waiting for Nangong Wuliang to nod in agreement, the smile on Nangong Wuliang’s face suddenly stopped. He looked at East Emperor Qian indifferently, his gaze somewhat cold.
Nangong Wuliang said, “Great Young Master’s sincerity has already been felt by Nangong Wuliang. However, Nangong Wuliang wants to apologize to Great Young Master. Nangong Wuliang has yet to put the mere power of banning gambling in the twenty-eight cities in his eyes.”
“You don’t even care about the right to ban gambling in the Twenty-Eight Cities? Then what do you want?” East Emperor Qian’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, and his face revealed a hint of displeasure. In East Emperor Qian’s opinion, Nangong Wuliang’s appetite was too great. The right to ban gambling in the Twenty-Eight Cities was definitely not a small bargaining chip.
The corners of Nangong Wuliang’s mouth curled into a faint smile. He raised his head slightly and his eyes suddenly stared fixedly at East Emperor Qian.
Nangong Wuliang looked at East Emperor Qian and said, “Big Young Master, you can’t give me what I want. You can only borrow it.”
“Borrow?” East Emperor Qian subconsciously leaned backwards, his feet pointing outwards. He was actually mentally prepared to flee at any moment.
A trace of fear flashed through East Emperor Qian’s eyes as he asked, “What does Lord Nangong want to borrow from me?”
“Borrow your head, Young Master!” As soon as Nangong Wuliang finished speaking, East Emperor Qian immediately jumped up and prepared to flee.
However, just as East Emperor Qian stood up, dozens of arrows suddenly shot in from outside the Yuan Zhen Pavilion window.
The speed of these dozens of arrows was extremely fast. It was obvious that they were fired with a strong bow and a hard crossbow. The arrow was very long, nearly two meters long. The entire body of the arrow was like silver castings. At this moment, under the illumination of the Yuan Zhen Pavilion’s lights, it was flickering with silver light.
East Emperor Qian didn’t know how long he had been locked onto by these dozens of arrows. Dozens of arrows shot straight at him, piercing through his body from his back and stabbing him on the wooden table.
East Emperor Qian’s death was obviously planned for Nangong Wuliang, but it was very sudden for Periclastic emptiness and Qian Wuduo.
Qian Wuduo’s face was pale. His entire body trembled slightly, and his throat moved up and down. He didn’t even dare to make a sound while swallowing his saliva.
Compared to Qian Wu Duo, Periclastic emptiness was much calmer. He even had the leisure to carefully observe the silver arrow used to shoot East Emperor Qian.
“Eh?” Periclastic emptiness let out a puzzled voice. He directly turned to look at Nangong Wuliang and said, “My lord, did you use the Cleansing Silver Feather to shoot Great Young Master?”
Nangong Wuliang looked at Periclastic emptiness and smiled. He picked up the chopsticks on the table and slowly put some dishes on the table in his bowl.
As Nangong Wuliang dug into his mouth, he vaguely replied to Periclastic emptiness, “Lord Zhou has good eyesight. He actually recognizes that this is Silver Feather Cleansing with a single glance.”
A bitter smile appeared on Periclastic emptiness’s face. Facing Nangong Wuliang’s words, he suddenly didn’t know how to accept it.
Perhaps others might not know about the Clean Corrosion Silver Feather, but Periclastic emptiness could not be more clear about it. This arrow was the secret of his Zhou Clan, and it was matched by the Cleansing Corrosion Sky Bow and the Silver Feather Arrow Technique.
Although Periclastic emptiness did not know where Nangong Wuliang had obtained so many Cleansing Silver Feather Arrows, Periclastic emptiness understood what Nangong Wuliang meant. This was clearly to force him to stand in line and not allow him to stay out of this matter.
Periclastic emptiness took a deep breath and shook his head as if he had accepted his fate. Periclastic emptiness cupped his fists at Nangong Wuliang and said, “Lord Nangong, tell me about your specific plan and see where I can work for you next.”
When Nangong Wuliang heard Periclastic emptiness’s words, he revealed a very happy smile. He waved his hand and said, “My plan is not to rush out first. I want to ask Lord Zhou if you want to be a Wen Siye or a Martial Siye after the matter is completed.”
Hearing Nangong Wuliang’s words, Periclastic emptiness’s heart skipped a beat. Wen Siye or Wu Siye? Didn’t Nangong Wuliang’s words mean that he had clearly stated from the side that his target was the position of Young Priestess?
Periclastic emptiness took a deep breath again. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head to look at Nangong Wuliang and said, “If Your Excellency is willing to give him a compliment, this subordinate is willing to take the position of Wen Siye.”
“Accurate!” Nangong Wuliang waved his hand and laughed heartily.
Not long after, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the Primordial Pavilion. A middle-aged man’s voice sounded outside the Yuan Zhen Pavilion’s main gate, “Master, this is bad. Seventh Young Master from the Shaosi Manor personally brought people into the manor. They said that there is someone in our manor making a bet.”
“Gather … gather what bet? How is it possible for us to smoke around the Cold Heaven Villa …”
“Yes, it’s a gamble!”
Qian Wuduo was originally prepared to retort subconsciously, but Nangong Wuliang directly interrupted Qian Wuduo.
Qian Wuduo looked at Nangong Wuliang with a puzzled expression. Nangong Wuliang smiled and said to the people outside the Yuan Zhen Pavilion who came to protect the letter, “Go bring Seventh Young Master and the others here. We’ve been waiting for them for a long time.”
Qian Wuduo looked at Nangong Wuliang nervously and asked, “Sir, Seventh Young Master and the others have come over. Isn’t that the Eldest Young Master?”
Nangong Wuliang had an innocent expression on his face. He spread out his hands and said, “Big Young Master? What big Young Master? Did the big Young Master come to the Cold Heaven Villa tonight? Didn’t I see him?”
By the way, Boss Qian, if Eldest Young Master were to make a bet in your Cold Heaven Villa and get smashed by Seventh Young Master. Then, Seventh Young Master and Eldest Young Master quarreled and made a move against each other. In the end, Seventh Young Master accidentally killed Eldest Young Master. Then you must inform me of this matter.
After all, the one who died was a young master of the Young Master’s Manor. My Wen Si is in charge of the Xing, Fa, Arrest and Cai Halls. This matter must be investigated to the end. ”
Nangong Wuliang’s words left Qian Wuduo confused, but Periclastic emptiness’s eyes lit up again. He pondered over Nangong Wuliang’s words silently for a moment. Finally, Periclastic emptiness gave Nangong Wuliang a thumbs up with admiration and said, “Gao! Lord Nangong’s move is truly too high. This subordinate is convinced.”
“Let’s go, Lord Zhou. It’s not appropriate for us to be at the scene of the crime at this time. The moonlight is pretty good tonight. Let Boss Qian take us to his famous invitation platform at Cold Sky Manor.”
After Nangong Wuliang finished speaking, he made a “please” gesture to Qian Wuduo and said, “Boss Qian, please …”
Qian Wuduo looked at Nangong Wuliang and Periclastic emptiness. He was not a fool. Even if he did not understand all of Nangong Wuliang’s plans, he had already figured it out.
Qian Wudou swallowed hard and nodded, “Sir Nangong, you should be clear about the direction of the invitation platform. Sir Nangong, please go there yourself. I have to arrange a few gamblers for Great Young Master.”
