Chapter 185: Unable to Take on the Task
If he wants to return to Nanmo Country safely now, he will definitely not refuse my kindness."
Xiao Jingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not believe what was being said outside. After all, he did not believe that Nangong Junze, who was as famous as him, would die so easily. He thought that he must have used some trick again.
Yun Chi looked at Xiao Jingchuan in surprise, not understanding what he meant. You know, his prince had never bothered to do this before. Unexpectedly, he not only acted like this now, but also put the matter out in the open. This is really leaving a way out for others so that they can meet again in the future!
Thinking of Jiang Shuyu's tricks, Yun Chi couldn't help but twitch his lips. Could it be that this is what people often say, people from the same family tend to be alike?
However, Yifeng is used to being free and easy at the border, so it would be a good thing to let Yifeng leave Kyoto and stay away from trouble!
Yun Chi naturally did not refute Xiao Jingchuan's decision and quickly agreed.
"Yes!"
Xiao Jingchuan nodded slightly. Even if he lowered the curtain, since he had helped Nangong Junze, he naturally couldn't hide it. Good deeds should also leave a name, right?
The carriage was swaying slowly as it rushed towards the palace. Xiao Jingchuan sat leisurely inside the carriage, without a trace of anxiety on his face.
In contrast to Xiao Jingchuan's leisurely demeanor, Xiao Jinrui couldn't hide the smile on his face when he got the news. He immediately asked someone to find Zong Wenzhi to discuss countermeasures. Thinking of the news that Nangong Junze was suffering from a serious illness, which had already spread widely outside, Xiao Jinrui could no longer suppress his excitement. He picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all.
Seeing Zong Wenzhi walk in, Xiao Jinrui hurried down and said excitedly, "Master, you're so happy! Haha... so happy!"
Before Xiao Jinrui could finish his words, he burst into laughter.
Zong Wenzhi looked at him like this, his face was very calm, with a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he had everything under control.
Xiao Jinchuan laughed for a moment, then looked at Zong Wenzhi in surprise, noticing his confident look. After a moment's thought, he continued, "Could it be that Master already knew about Crown Prince Nangong's sudden illness?"
At this time, Xiao Jinrui also discovered that Zong Wenzhi did not show any surprise at this matter, but instead acted as if it was as it should be.
Seeing the inquiry in Xiao Jinrui's eyes, Zong Wenzhi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, and smiled:
"I have long told you not to focus solely on immediate benefits. Blessings are not disasters, and disasters are inevitable.
So what if Xiao Jingchuan gained the trust of Emperor Shunqing, and was given important positions? Now he has messed things up. If Nangong Junze died in Dongli Kingdom, what consequences do you think would arise?"
Listening to Zong Wenzhi's words, Xiao Jinrui's face changed. He was only happy that Xiao Jingchuan had messed up things and failed to receive Prince Nangong well, causing his life to hang by a thread. He would definitely be punished.
I forgot that they are now in a relationship of shared prosperity and loss. If Prince Nangong died in Dongli Kingdom, Nangong Mo would definitely not let it go.
I'm afraid they will fight each other. Dongli Kingdom has just gone through a fierce battle. Now its treasury is empty and its troops are insufficient. How can it resist the army of Nanmo Kingdom? This is why Emperor Shunqing wants to make friends with Nanmo Kingdom.
And now, if Nangong Junze died in Dongli Kingdom, how would they be able to resist foreign enemies? If Beilin Kingdom makes a comeback, their country will be destroyed and their families will be ruined, and they will probably be destroyed!
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinrui shuddered and looked at Zong Wenzhi and said:
"Master, no! If Nangong Junze dies in Dongli Kingdom, then Nangong Mo will have to send troops here. With the current military strength of Dongli Kingdom, how can we compete with them? Even if we kill Xiao Jingchuan now, what's the point of me coming here if he leaves such a mess behind!"
A trace of fear flashed across Xiao Jinrui's eyes, and then he thought of Xu Yiyuan, and his eyes immediately lit up. He hurried forward and said, "Yes, there is also Xu Yiyuan. He is a miracle doctor and will definitely be able to save him.
No, Master, Nangong Junze cannot die! I will go to the palace and ask my father to order Xu Yiyuan to rescue him. If he cannot be saved, I am afraid we will all have to pay for his life!"
Seeing Xiao Jinrui panicking, Zong Wenzhi's eyes flashed with a sinister look. He had always known that Xiao Jinrui was a hopeless person, but he had never thought that he was so incapable of such a big responsibility.
Seeing Xiao Jinrui preparing to leave, Zong Wenzhi couldn't help but sit down on the chair, looked at him and said, "Isn't it a bit late for you to think of this now?"
Hearing Zong Wenzhi's words, Xiao Jinrui paused, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He turned back to look at Zong Wenzhi, and seeing that he was calm and composed, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He quickly turned around and came to Zong Wenzhi, looking at him with a sharp gaze and asked:
"Master, you have a solution, right? Yes, since you already knew that Nangong Junze would not live long, you must have thought of a countermeasure long ago. I am foolish and almost ruined your plan!"
Seeing Xiao Jinrui's reaction, Zong Wenzhi nodded in satisfaction, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought that the boy was teachable and did not really go to Emperor Shunqing to seek help. If he walked out of this door today, he swore that he would never ask about his affairs again in the future.
Xiao Jinrui was only congratulating himself at this moment, not realizing that if he had ignored Zong Wenzhi's thoughts, he would have been beheaded long ago. Since he could take the life of the Crown Prince of Nanmo, it would be no problem for him to take the life of a small King Rui of Dongli.
Putting away the murderous intent in his eyes, Zong Wenzhi looked at Xiao Jinrui with a smile. Seeing his curious face, he immediately said, "Where do you think your master has been all this time? As early as when Nangong Junze was preparing to come to Dongli Country, your master already had a plan in mind.
It's just that I didn't get any accurate information, so I didn't dare to act rashly. That's why I didn't tell you. I can only go to Nanmo Country in person.
Fortunately, this trip was worthwhile. We reached a consensus with His Royal Highness King Cheng of Nanmo Kingdom. As long as we help him keep Nangong Junze's life in Kyoto, we don't have to worry about Nanmo Kingdom. Nangongmo will naturally have His Royal Highness King Cheng to deal with it. Now, what we need to do is to make sure Nangong Junze never returns!"
Seeing Zong Wenzhi's confident look, Xiao Jinrui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If what his master said was true, and if they succeeded this time, not only would they be able to get rid of Xiao Jingchuan, but they would also be able to get assistance from the Nanmo Kingdom. This was great news for him!
