Reborn Di daughter seeks the world

Chapter 199 King Jing's Weakness

Dark Night, Duanwang Mansion
In the study room, the lights were bright, and a young man in a sky blue brocade robe sat in the first seat. He closed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the opposite side, Cui Zhiyuan offered advice to Prince Duan, "My lord, now that the Nangong family is destroyed, the Bai family has lost support in Liyang City, and even the emperor is quite dissatisfied with the Bai family. The savior deserved merit, so I’m afraid he’d already lost it. Now that you and the Lu family are powerful, your odds of winning have increased by a little bit.”

There were not many emotional changes on King Duan's face, perhaps because he had experienced many things during this period, except for the position of prince, he didn't care about the odds of winning by a little bit.

What he wants is always the result, and his patience with the Lu family has long been exhausted.

"Zi Chu has been here for so long but he hasn't said a word. What is he thinking?" Duan Wang looked at the young man at the bottom, saw the clear face, and the tiredness between his brows and eyes, his heart moved slightly, a wave of emotion rise quietly.Because of his success in planning several times, he has also changed from the previous disdain to the current trust in him.

No matter what Ling Zichu wants, as long as he achieves great success, he will give it to him without hesitation. He knows that this kind of thinking is almost crazy, but at this moment, he thinks like this, just like many years ago.

Suddenly those slightly closed eyes slowly opened, those bright eyes were sleepy, with a sleepy laziness, and even a bit of indescribable... style.

It's a pity that the person involved didn't know it. He opened his eyes and glanced at King Duan above him. He was lowering his head. He didn't know what he was thinking. His eyes moved slightly. What's wrong?
On the other hand, Cui Zhiyuan coughed lightly, "Patriarch Ling, His Highness was asking you just now. It seems that you fell asleep. Why, have you not rested these days?"

Ling Zichu sat upright, straightened his clothes, and said apologetically, "I've had too many business engagements these days, and I haven't had a good rest. It's a joke for the prince and Mr. Cui."

"Master Ling has a lot of work, so I can understand." Cui Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Ling Zichu smiled slightly, "It's just some mundane things, nothing is as important as His Highness's great cause."

Duan Wang suddenly raised his head and looked at the unparalleled young man opposite him, a look of gloom flashed across his tense face, "How do you think this king should handle the affairs of the Lu family?"

Hearing this, Cui Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly, he looked at King Duan and persuaded him, "Your Highness, if you want to ascend to the Great Treasure, the support of the Lu family is indispensable."

"Presumptuous!" Duan Wang yelled angrily, "Believe it or not, according to your words, this king will kill you." In the past, the princes who would not laugh at him took advantage of the Lu family to seal the king's mansion. Seriously, he is even inferior to Qin Jingyuan.

Cui Zhiyuan looked at the anger on King Duan's face, and knew in his heart that King Duan was angry. In fact, he said this more than once, but the prince obviously didn't listen. He dared to mention it again today, but it was because of Ling Zichu's presence. So he immediately set his sights on Ling Zichu, "Patriarch Ling, please persuade Your Highness. Your Highness cannot do without the support of the Lu family."

King Duan also looked at Ling Zichu, but he didn't speak, as if he was waiting for his answer.

"Persuade, why should I persuade?" Ling Zichu looked at Cui Zhiyuan with a half-smile.

Cui Zhiyuan was slightly startled, looking at the unruly smile on the young man's face, for some reason, he always felt that something was going in the opposite direction to what he expected.

Duan Wang's face paled slightly, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and felt a little relieved.

"Patriarch Ling, it's inevitable that you're instigating the lord's quarrel with the Lu family." Cui Zhiyuan looked at the young man in front of him who he couldn't control, and finally said what he kept in his heart.

But in exchange for a burst of low laughter, "It's really interesting, Mr. Cui, are you sure you're talking about me?"

The flying and arrogant young man raised his elegant eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged man opposite with a half-smile, "The Lu family is indeed a Donghua noble family, but no matter how strong he is, he is stronger than the Chu family? The Chu family is destroyed." It is even easier to destroy the Lu family. His Highness thought why the emperor let you try the assassination case of King Jing. He was just trying to provoke the relationship between you and the Lu family. In his heart, the Lu family and you have never been able to coexist Yes, just like King Jin and the Nangong family, he wants to pluck all your wings now."

"Because of this, how can we abandon the Lu family at this time! Otherwise, wouldn't it be according to the emperor's wishes?" Cui Zhiyuan retorted.

Ling Zichu shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Cui, what you think is really simple. Since it is necessary to destroy the alliance between the Lu family and King Duan, then it is okay to get rid of either party. Since the husband does not want the Lu family to be harmed, the emperor's anger will be greatly reduced." It can only be accepted by King Duan. But obviously, King Jin is smarter, and he chose to abandon the Nangong family at a critical moment."

"But King Jin hasn't gotten any benefits now. Fighting alone, there is no one more passive than this." Cui Zhiyuan said in a deep voice. It was because he saw King Jin's current distress that he didn't want King Duan to be like this.

Suddenly the boy sitting on the chair stood up, and he smiled. He was not a peerless man, but it was enough to attract everyone's attention, because there was an arrogance in that gaze overlooking the world, no one dared to regard him as Seen by a young man who doesn't know much about the world, his temperament has a kind of maturity that doesn't match his age, unruly, "I, Ling Zichu, as the young city lord of Youzhou, owns a quarter of the world's wealth. Isn't it better than a Lu family? King Jin Fighting alone is because he does not have the support of me, Ling Zichu." He turned around and looked at King Duan, who was frowning at him, and smiled slightly, "If Your Highness thinks that my Ling family is useless, then our cooperation How does it end here?"

Duan Wang looked at the young man exuding fierce arrogance, and slightly tightened the hand holding the cup, looking at him with a bit of a daze, as if he saw someone's figure from him.

Seeing that Ling Zichu was about to leave, Cui Zhiyuan was quite calm. Although he was the one who recommended Ling Zichu to His Highness at first, Ling Zichu's thoughts were too treacherous, and he already regretted it. If he left now, it might be to His Highness Words are a good thing.

"Your Highness, since Patriarch Ling..."

"What nonsense did Zi Chu say, you are my guest, and I have no intention of asking you to leave." King Duan came back to his senses, looked at Ling Zichu and said, "Besides, this king doesn't like being held back by the Lu family. It will be a matter of time before this king breaks with the Lu family, if we disagree with each other and do not conspire with each other, without them, this king will still not take King Jin seriously."

Cui Zhiyuan looked at the resoluteness on King Duan's face, and said unconsciously: "Your Highness, don't forget that the emperor is annoying you because of Concubine Lu's murder of Concubine Qi's unborn child. How can you tell me at this time?" Jin Wangbi."

Hearing these words, Ling Zichu didn't speak, but looked at King Jin who was above him, waiting for his answer.

"You really think that Imperial Father cares about the piece of meat in Concubine Qi's only son?" Duan Wang suddenly said mockingly, "If Imperial Father really cared about Concubine Qi, he would not let Concubine Qi become pregnant at this time."

"Your Highness means..." Cui Zhiyuan looked at King Duan in surprise.

Duan Wang snorted coldly, "Because he is afraid of the influence of the Lu family, Concubine Qi has been taking a contraceptive drug for these years, so she has not been pregnant. This time, the father probably wants to attack the Lu family, so let Concubine Qi I was pregnant, and this king was almost fooled. I originally wanted to remind my mother and concubine not to act rashly, but unexpectedly it happened." The gloomy look on his face darkened a bit, "No one can guess what Royal Father is thinking. Most of all, he favored and trusted the Great Emperor, but in the end he was not dismissed as disobedient, unfilial, collaborating with the enemy and treason. However, this king has gradually confirmed one thing recently..."

Ling Zichu raised his head and looked at King Duan, his eyes flickered slightly, waiting for his answer, but King Duan didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't continue talking.

"Your Highness doesn't seem to be afraid of King Cheng, King Jing, and King Zhao at all." Ling Zichu said with a sudden smile.

A trace of disdain flashed across King Duan's face, "King Zhao is just a waste, he only knows how to eat, drink and play. King Zhao is still young and doesn't understand government affairs, so it's not a problem. As for King Jing..." His face darkened instantly when he said this Come down, "It is easy for him to turn over, but it is also the most difficult."

Ling Zichu looked at King Duan and frowned slightly. Today's King Duan clearly meant something.

"I heard that King Jing handed Yang Xu over to the Ministry of Punishment. This time, if the remnants of the Chu family can be wiped out, His Majesty will be very happy." Cui Zhiyuan said.

Duan Wang snorted coldly, "That also requires him to be able to arrest all the remnants of the Chu family."

"It seems that His Highness is not very optimistic about King Jing's strength." Ling Zichu said with a smile.

A strange look flashed across King Duan's face, "He, Qin Jingyuan, is a good fighter. This king thinks he is not as good as him, but there is one thing he can't compare to this king, even King Jin."

"What?" Ling Zichu asked.

Duan Wang chuckled, his eyes were mysterious, "Naturally it's the head."

Does this mean that Qin Jingyuan is not as smart as them? !Ling Zichu frowned, this answer...doesn't seem to be true, so is Duan Wang too confident? !

After Ling Zichu left, Cui Zhiyuan looked at King Duan and said, "Does Your Highness really think that King Jing befriended you?"

"Is it important who handed it in?" Duan Wang snorted coldly, no matter who handed it in, King Jing can't think of being alone this time, he can remember clearly what happened three years ago.Few people can flip twice in the same somersault, but King Jing can do it.

Cui Zhiyuan nodded. King Jing has weaknesses. He is not as cunning and ruthless as King Jin, so as long as he grasps his weaknesses, he may not be able to defeat him.

"Why does Your Highness trust Ling Zichu so much?" Cui Zhiyuan couldn't help but said, His Highness obviously disdained Ling Zichu at the beginning, how could he trust him so much after meeting him a few times.

Duan Wang looked at the door, his eyes were dim, and his expression was in a trance. His eyes seemed to be looking at a certain silhouette in the past. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Don't you think he looks like a person?"
