Chapter 306: Swagger
"Of course it's me." After hearing the guards report the latest news one by one, a confident smile hung on the corner of Feng Bailin's lips, and the wine glass he held tightly in his hand shook and shook, but his belief was very firm, "After the death of my father, the crown prince also passed away, no matter how they died, now the unity of the Feng family has been almost wiped out, and I am the only one who deserves to inherit the throne, who else can I be, otherwise it can be the king of Li?" ”
The subordinate lowered his face and said with a complicated expression: "I heard that after Lu Li gained a firm foothold in Lingcheng, he planned to go south to attack the capital, Your Highness, you must not think that Lu Li's background is humble and see him clearly, you must know that the soldiers and horses he is leading now are one of the elites of our dynasty, and he has Li Wenfeng's secret support......"
He wanted to persuade Feng Bailin to be more wary of Lu Li, but Feng Bailin didn't listen, and still chose to stick to his own ideas.
"Lu Li grabs the throne? He also deserves it? ”
The sneering words unabashedly revealed Feng Bailin's contempt for Lu Li.
"Even if you give him twice as many soldiers and horses, His Royal Highness has a way to let him die," he said with a ruthless face, "When I was in the capital before, he and An Xiabai embarrassed me three times and twice, I have written down all those things, and when I ascend the throne in the future, the first thing I will do is to eradicate Lu Li, and those who are loyal to him, and the province is dangling in front of me every day, which is an eyesore!" ”
Feng Bailin's words made his subordinates sigh silently in their hearts.
Feng Bailin is indeed the most qualified person to sit on the throne now, but in terms of power, as well as the people's hearts, he is not as good as King Li's serious illness in the past, and he is not as good as Lu Li to gain the hearts of the people, and now what he is struggling to support is only his identity as a prince.
Thinking of this, the subordinate sighed again.
Because of the depression in his heart, he didn't notice much of the change in his voice, and this negligence actually sighed directly, and this movement successfully attracted the attention of King Li.
"Why are you sighing?"
"Of course, the subordinates are worried about His Highness," he knelt down on one knee and said with a solemn face, "The current situation is unfavorable to His Highness, if His Highness does not take advantage of Lu Li and the others to guard against Lu Li and the others as soon as possible, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do anything incredible, and it will be His Highness himself who will be in trouble at that time, right?" ”
Feng Bailin showed deep puzzlement about this, in his eyes, Lu Li and the army he led were nothing more than that, there was no wind and waves at all, they were like a weak ant compared to King Li and himself, the kind that could be killed with a little move, so he couldn't understand his subordinates' vigilance against Lu Li, and even felt that he was alarmist.
"People's hearts, is it really that important?"
When he asked this, his subordinate almost rolled his eyes.
The ancients had a saying that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and a small guard of his own knows the truth that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, but Feng Bailin doesn't know?
No wonder he was so embarrassed when he first left the capital.
Disdain in his heart is contempt, but he still has to do the work of face, after all, his status is low, and he can't belittle the prince at will!
He smiled and said: "The people's will is important, but the more important thing is the identity, Your Highness, you are the orthodox royal family, let alone Lu Oak, even if there are hundreds of Lu Oaks combined, it doesn't matter to you alone." ”
His words successfully aroused the sense of superiority in Feng Bailin's heart, and he smiled, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"Your Highness also thinks you're right."
Just as they were talking, in another room, Su Ruyue was looking through the letter sent from the capital, and the payment was made by her cousin Su Ying'er, who clearly expressed her intentions in the letter, saying that she and her master, that is, Xiong Lishui, were willing to betray King Li and help Feng Bailin succeed, but the premise was that Feng Bailin must promise them, and after the matter is completed, after Feng Bailin successfully sits on the throne, he will definitely reward them heavily.
When the letter first arrived, Su Ruyue took the letter to Feng Bailin to read, and he was very satisfied, saying that everything was handled by Su Ruyue alone, and this trust made the latter very satisfied.
She happily wrote a letter, made a promise that she would not be treated badly after the deed was completed, and then married the letterhead to the person in charge of delivering the letter, and asked him to send it to the capital.
It's been a busy day, and it seems like I haven't seen my cousin in a while!
Su Ruyue thought that Feng Bailin should not be busy at this time, because there have been a lot of people who can't stand it recently, and who have been oppressed and abused, Feng Bailin has so many subordinates for no reason, and not all of them eat white rice, so they shouldn't be too busy! So she was full of thoughts, and went to the small courtyard where Feng Bailin lived shyly and timidly.
As a result, she had just walked outside the door when she suddenly heard laughter coming from the door.
The tone of the silver bell is clearly a woman's voice!
Su Ruyue's head slammed, as if fireworks were exploding in her head, and even the expression on her face was very rich.
"Who's inside?" She asked the guard next to her with a cold face.
The two guards looked bitter and seemed to be in a bit of a quandary.
"Say it! If you don't tell me, I'll let my cousin kill you all!" Tell me who the woman is inside. ”
The two guards looked at each other, and finally they said with the determination to die: "Miss Su, the girls in it are all slave girls sent here by the local parents and officials who pity His Highness for being tired all the way!" ”
The expression on Su Ruyue's face suddenly became even more exciting.
She knew that Feng Bailin was lustful, and she also knew that Feng Bailin would not easily like herself, but she never thought that this day would come so quickly, obviously when she was still in prison, Feng Bailin still took her hand and made a vow, obviously when she had just left the capital incognito for fear of being chased and killed by King Li's people, Feng Bailin also kept saying that he only liked himself and would not look at other women again, and in a blink of an eye, everything changed!
The things that I had thought of for Feng Bailin before seemed to be meaningless in an instant!
Su Ruyue's resentment in her heart was like a wild grass growing wildly in spring, and her eyes were red with anger: "I'm going to see my cousin, you guys quickly get out of the way for me!" ”
This is absolutely not a no-go!
Even if they hadn't discussed what to do in case of special circumstances in advance, the two guards knew in their hearts that at this time, Su Ruyue wanted to go in to find Feng Bailin, was there any other reason besides Xingshi asking for guilt? Although Su Ruyue was a good person, they still felt that it was more important to please Feng Bailin, after all, that was their real master!
"Miss Su, don't embarrass us anymore, we are just ordered to guard outside the door, if you break in today, something happens inside to blame, and we are the ones who suffer! Please do well, don't embarrass us! ”
If this matter had been put in the past, and the way was blocked, Su Ruyue would definitely be so annoyed that she would directly kick people away, but now the situation is different, now they are no longer in the capital, let alone within the Su family's sphere of influence, if they can't afford to live with Feng Bailin because of this kind of thing, wouldn't they be killing themselves?
Thinking of the methods used by Feng Bailin in the past for the sake of those disobedient people in politics, Su Ruyue couldn't help but shudder.
Forget it, if you can't go in, you should be able to ask about the situation carefully, right?
Su Ruyue furrowed her brows, slowly approached the two eldest brothers guarding the door, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Can you tell me when they were delivered?" ”
"It was a few days ago, on the sixteenth day."
Sixteen?
Thinking of this, Su Ruyue's heart became colder and colder, before Feng Bailin said that she had something to do, and she might have to snub her in the future, and her day was sixteen, it must be because they seduced their cousin!
Su Ruyue gritted her teeth and hated, and glanced in the direction of the courtyard.
"Hmph, these little sluts, I hope you don't fall into my hands."
Because Feng Bailin's place was relatively far away from the capital, Su Ruyue's letter was only delivered to Su Ying'er on the fifth day, and when she opened the envelope, it happened that Xiong Qianshui was also there, so Su Ying'er beckoned him to come over to see the letter sent by Su Ruyue.
The letter clearly stated that Feng Bailin had agreed to their request, and as long as they arrived at the place, Feng Bailin would definitely treat them with courtesy.
Su Ying'er clutched the letterhead tightly, and seemed to see hope in a trance.
"General, since Feng Bailin's side has already nodded, why don't we go now, going there early means less danger, right?"
Listening to Su Ying'er's words, Xiong Lishui was a little shaken, but his mind was still firm.
"His Royal Highness King Liwang has the grace of appreciating me, if it weren't for him, I might never have been able to get to this position, how could I easily betray His Royal Highness King Li?"
Su Ying'er didn't expect him to be able to say such a thing, so she was a little stunned for a while.
"Master, do you mean that you want to regret it?"
"Is this a remorse?" Xiong Lishui cheekily waved his hand and said, "When I first agreed, it was just a verbal promise, just to tease you, I didn't expect you to really believe it, madam!" It's a shame, because I didn't think about rebellion. ”
Su Ying'er was so pale by him, she didn't even get angry, but spoke with a smile, as if she had expected Xiong Qianshui to react like this: "Master, are you really unwilling to take someone to Lincheng to join Feng Bailin, don't you already care about Fang Zhen, even if he is powerful on you in the future, you are willing?" ”
Of course Xiong Lishui was unwilling, he hated to kill Fang Zhen with his own hands, but he was angry, and the confusion he should have was not less at all.
"Why do you say that, could it be that there is something wrong with Fang Zhen?"
Su Ying'er smiled and shook her head: "Actually, it's not a problem, but when I went out today, I accidentally saw something." ”
Xiong Lishui has always been careless, and when she paused, she immediately spoke: "What did you see?" ”
Su Ying'er blinked, didn't seem to tease his thoughts, and directly said what she had seen today.
King Li rewarded Fang Zhen with many things.
Xiong Shui Qi's eyes turned red, and even the anger in his heart began to burn.
"Let's go to Feng Bailin and leave tonight!"
