Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 772 Giving a Gift Leads to One Fatal Move
"Oh dear, how could the Governor-General have to come to greet me like this?" Tian Jun's smile was so disgusting that it made you want to punch him in the face.

However, Chu Danqing could see the pretense in the other party's smile; the other party had indeed come to intimidate and provoke her.

They even hoped to be beaten up.

This is probably not just a pledge of allegiance, but also a way to gain leverage for further plans.

Huang Youxiang frowned. He was indeed disgusted, but his good manners prevented him from saying anything. He simply invited the other party into the mansion.

Tian Jun was also surprised, not expecting that such a young boy could be so composed.

It can only be said that he had a very strong stereotype of Huang Youxiang, regarding him as a spoiled brat.

There are indeed some spoiled brats among the princes, but Huang Youxiang is not qualified to be one.

To become a playboy, you need to have enough power and resources.

Huang Youxiang may not be the best among the princes, but he is definitely better than the worst.

Having received an elite education, he might feel timid in front of Chu Danqing in private, but he can hold his own in big situations.

He had seen all sorts of grand occasions in the palace.

It's just that he's young, lacks experience, and has little ambition.

"Please don't find this simple meal unpleasant, Lord Tian," Huang Youxiang said.

"I dare not, I am only a new clerk," Tian Jun said.

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Youxiang interrupted him: "Lord Tian is joking. Isn't the Chief Secretary Lord Yuan? How did you become Lord Tian?"

"Moreover, I have not received any imperial decree from the capital."

Tian Jun had anticipated Huang Youxiang's words and was actually waiting for them to come out.

He then burst into laughter and said, "This morning, Yuan attempted a rebellion but was executed along with his entire clan by Governor Raymond."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Huang Youxiang squeezed the wine glass tightly, leaving five finger marks on it.

"Therefore, Governor Raymond appointed me as Chief Secretary and came to visit the Assistant Governor specifically for this matter." A smug smile appeared on Tian Jun's face.

His words were meant to provoke Huang Youxiang, especially after witnessing Huang Youxiang's behavior, he knew he had succeeded.

“This is against the laws of the imperial court,” Huang Youxiang said in a deep voice.

Young and hot-blooded, he couldn't contain his anger after being provoked like that.

After saying this, he could only glance at Chu Danqing secretly.

Chu Danqing saw through Huang Youxiang's thoughts: Uncle, I want to kill him!

However, Chu Danqing gently shook her head, indicating that she should be patient a little longer, as the time was not yet ripe.

As for when that will come, it will be when we can no longer bear it.

Chu Danqing not only wanted to see how good Tian Jun was at courting death, but also wanted to see when he would die.

If someone dies too early or too late, it will disrupt the plan.

“Governor, you’re joking this time.” Tian Jun said, feigning composure despite his smugness, “This is Chun Shen Prefecture, the border area leased by the imperial court to the Western Dynasty.”

It must be said that Tian Jun is truly a talent. His acting skills and control are indeed outstanding. If he could be used by them, he would definitely be a great help to diplomacy.

Unfortunately, the other side already has a powerful backer, and they need to kill him first.

"All matters may be handled at the Governor's discretion." Tian Jun was deliberately implying that since the other person was the Governor, and you were also the Governor, the two of you should be on equal footing.

So you couldn't even protect a person? That's a bit pathetic.

Huang Youxiang understood the veiled sarcasm, and his anger flared up once again.

"I am merely the Assistant Governor-General. Since the court has granted Governor-General Raymond the authority to act expediently, I cannot interfere too much." Huang Youxiang, considering the overall situation, refrained from further interference.

Seeing Huang Youxiang's attitude, Tian Jun became anxious.

His gaze subtly swept over Chu Danqing. He was certain that with such a key figure by his side, Huang Youxiang would be difficult to deal with.

Tian Jun could naturally sense that Huang Youxiang would occasionally glance at Chu Danqing, seeking help.

If Chu Danqing hadn't been sitting there, Huang Youxiang would definitely have made his move by now.

However, he couldn't directly target Chu Danqing.

He was merely appointed as the Chief Secretary, not the Governor-General of the National Border.

What Raymond can do, he can't do.

So we had to temporarily change the subject and talk about other things.

About half an hour later, a servant came to report.

They said someone was carrying two large boxes outside the door, supposedly as gifts.

"I'm not related to anyone here, so I suppose I've delivered this to the wrong place. Just send it away." Huang Youxiang was also puzzled; who would send him a gift for no reason?

Seeing this, Tian Jun realized the time was ripe and quickly stood up, saying, "Wait a minute."

“Your Excellency, this gift is from me.”

"I came in a hurry during my visit, and the gift is still being finalized, which is why I am a little late."

"Now that it has been delivered, it is also good to present it to His Excellency the Governor for his perusal."

Huang Youxiang subconsciously looked at Chu Danqing, knowing that the other party's killing move was about to begin. He saw Chu Danqing nod with a confident expression.

This prompted Huang Youxiang, who had initially intended to refuse, to say, "Very well, it's rare for Lord Tian to have such a kind intention, so let's bring it up and take a look."

"This gift was just prepared, and the smell is a bit strong," Tian Jun said. "If it were to stain the Governor's hall, we would be guilty of a terrible crime."

"Please, Your Excellency, choose another location."

At this moment, Chu Danqing spoke up: "Why don't we use the front yard? It's spacious enough."

His suggestion was naturally adopted.

The group entered the courtyard, where two large boxes were neatly arranged.

Huang Youxiang's heart sank; he could vaguely smell blood.

This gave him a bad feeling.

He was young and couldn't keep things to himself, so his thoughts were naturally written all over his face.

This brought a smile to Tian Jun's face.

No matter how much pressure you put on young people, they will always be hot-blooded.

Huang Youxiang clapped his hands, and the man carrying the two boxes immediately opened them.

Inside the box were piles of freshly pickled heads, men, women, and children.

The head at the very top belonged to the former chief secretary of the royalist faction.

Clearly, these two boxes contained the entire Yuan family.

At this moment, Huang Youxiang's anger had reached its peak.

Seeing that the time was right, Tian Jun walked to the box and grabbed the former chief secretary's head.

“Your Excellency, the gift I am presenting is a token of my appreciation.”

"A great achievement in quelling Yuan's rebellion," Tian Jun said with a provocative expression.

This is called killing someone by destroying their spirit.

They not only want to kill your supporters, but also want to pin this title on you.

"You scoundrel, you've gone too far!" Huang Youxiang roared in a low voice.

When he saw Huang Youxiang lose his composure and stop pretending, Tian Jun's smile deepened.

Great, that's the kind of performance he wanted. Now, let's give him a good beating.

Then his smile froze.

He saw Chu Danqing pull out a knife from somewhere and hand it to the furious Huang Youxiang.

This terrified Tian Jun so much that he almost lost his mind.

Development shouldn't be like this; it should be about taking a beating.

Especially from the beginning, Chu Danqing acted more like he was trying to restrain Huang Youxiang.

But her current behavior is completely different from what she was just now.

He just wanted to prove his loyalty and stir up public opinion; he wasn't really looking for death.

"Wait, Your Excellency, this is a mistake." Tian Jun knew that he had messed things up, and the price was his life.

Therefore, he disregarded all plans and manners and hurriedly shouted.

However, before he could finish speaking, the roar of a tiger as the longsword sliced ​​through the air exploded in his ears.

The sharp, reflective light instantly pierced his neck.

The next moment, he was decapitated and died.

Huang Youxiang only came to his senses after killing the person.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Huang Youxiang didn't understand why he was being handed a knife, but he cautiously said, "Did I mess things up?"

"What do you think?" Chu Danqing asked.

“I should have been more patient; a small act of impatience could lead to disaster,” Huang Youxiang said.

But Chu Danqing interrupted him, saying, "That's not right."

"The weapon of criticism is no match for the criticism of weapons."

"Provocation? A show of force? No matter how many schemes and tricks there are, they can't compare to the grand path."

"Without real strength, all they can do is resort to these petty tricks."

"It's different when you have power. You're just a clown when you're alive, and you'll still be used as a tool for us when you're dead."

Huang Youxiang said with a bitter face, "But Uncle, we don't have the strength."

"Yes, yes," Chu Danqing said with a smile. "I don't do things I'm not sure I can do."

"Actually, your uncle has a wide circle of friends and has made many friends."

"I am indeed powerless, but they are incredibly capable and can help us solve our problems."

"Perfect timing! We're a new broom sweeping clean, so let's use Tian Jun to give everyone a taste of their own medicine."
