Chapter 268: It's Close

Just when Lin Zhan and a group of his subordinates rushed towards Piaoxianglou in a hurry, in the other direction, on a carriage that was getting farther and farther away from Piaoxianglou, Zhang Jiye and Zhang Weiye brothers sat opposite each other.

With a "bang", Zhang Weiye punched the carriage and scolded hatefully: "Brother, I really can't swallow this breath." What kind of thing is that Ma Bukong, he dares to steal credit with us. We broke our legs back and forth, took all the risks, and saw that we were about to succeed, but he took the magpie's nest and jumped out to eat ready-made. If I knew this, I wouldn't have pulled him into the gang in the first place, and you and my brother could also do it. ”

Not to mention that Zhang Weiye is holding back his anger, Zhang Jiye is also indignant in his heart. Even Zhang Jiye, who has always been regarded as the leader of the Zhang family and feels much stronger than Ma Bukong, is even more angry than Zhang Weiye.

He was a wise man, but he was cheated by Ma Bukong, a gentleman, and it would be strange if Zhang Jiye could be convinced.

But the matter has come to this point, Zhang Jiye has no choice but to sigh in frustration.

"Alright, don't say it. ”

"This time, I underestimated Ma Bukong, but I didn't expect that a straw bag like him could also use this kind of trick of the yin man behind him. ”

Hearing Zhang Jiye's discouraged words, Zhang Weiye suddenly became anxious: "Brother, is this the end of this matter?"

"It's come to this, what else can I do!" Zhang Jiye said helplessly: "This time Ma Bukong has already prepared, and the guards he brought are all masters, and two of them are still saint-rank martial artists, and the strength we have at hand alone is not his opponent at all." Besides, this matter is not visible, and even the family does not know. We can't ask anyone for help now, and we can only admit it if we are blackened by Ma Bukong. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiye sighed again: "I am also to blame for this, when I thought that I couldn't make a noise about this matter, I didn't dare to bring too many people, and I didn't keep an eye on Ma Bukong." ”

After listening to Zhang Jiye's words, Zhang Weiye sat down in the carriage like a deflated ball, and scolded: "But I can't swallow this breath." ”

"Don't say you can't swallow it, I'm not reconciled. Zhang Jiye sneered, and a terrifying cold light flashed in his eyes: "Brother, don't worry. This time, let Ma Bukong take advantage of it and make him happy for two days, and in the future, I will definitely find an opportunity to let Ma Bukong spit out the profits. ”

As soon as he heard that Zhang Jiye had a plan, Zhang Weiye's eyes lit up, and he said angrily: "Okay, I will definitely not let go of Ma Bukong when the time comes." ”

At this time, only this kind of incessant curse can make Zhang Weiye let out a little evil in his heart.

However, after a few hours, the Zhang brothers, who were eager to cut Ma Bukong with a thousand knives, would be grateful to Ma Bukong from the bottom of their hearts.

is grateful to Ma Bukong for kicking the two of them out at a critical moment.

Inside the Piaoxiang Building.

Liu Xiang, the sixth prince, looked at Lin Ling, who was as delicate and beautiful as a lamb in front of him, and the expression on his face was uncertain.

Seeing that Lin Ling, who had once regarded herself as a goddess, actually appeared in front of him in this posture, Liu Xiang's brain was still difficult to accept for a while.

Liu Xiang's right hand kept playing with the Deep Sea Crystal Necklace that Lin Zhan had just taken off from Lin Ling's neck and bought from the auction for tens of millions of taels of silver, in order to ease the shock in his heart.

Several strong guards of the royal family stood around with indifferent expressions, guarding Liu Xiang's safety. As for the beautiful view from the bed, it was as if they didn't see it.

"That's what you call a gift?"

After being silent for a long time, Liu Xiang finally spoke and asked Ma Bukong on the side.

Ma Bukong had been observing Liu Xiang's reaction, and when he saw Liu Xiang's inquiry, he hurriedly said with a sneer: "That's right, this is the gift I spent months preparing for His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. ”

Looking at Lin Ling, who was pale on the bed and looked like a frightened deer, a cold glint flashed in Liu Xiang's eyes.

"What did you do to her?"

Regarding Liu Xiang's obviously unhappy tone, Ma Bukong did not have the slightest panic or surprise.

Ma Bukong knew that Liu Xiang, the sixth prince, had always regarded Lin Ling as a forbidden man and did not allow anyone to move a finger of her.

Ma Bukong, who had already been prepared, hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, please rest assured. The villain just fed Miss Lin Ling some cartilage powder, which made her weak, so as not to cause some unpleasant things to happen to Her Highness during the enjoyment. Other than that, we didn't touch Miss Lin Ling at all. ”

Although Ma Bukong's words were very vague, the **** meaning revealed in his words still disgusted Liu Xiang, especially this implicit meaning was still aimed at Lin Ling.

Liu Xiang glared at Ma Bukong fiercely, and Ma Bukong hurriedly lowered his head, showing extreme respect.

After a slight admonition to Ma Bukong, Liu Xiang lowered his eyelids and fell silent again, as if he was thinking about something.

Ma Bukong was observing the words and expressions on the side, his eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly took a step forward and whispered to Liu Xiang: "Your Highness is so hesitant, but you are worried about the Lin family. ”

Liu Xiang's hands trembled unconsciously, and he turned his head to look at Ma Bukong, but he still didn't speak.

Ma Bukong hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "If Your Highness cares about the Lin family, you are really too cautious, and some people are worried. ”

After Ma Bukong finished speaking, he paused slightly, peeked at it, and saw that Liu Xiang only frowned slightly, but did not reprimand, and immediately felt relieved.

Ma Bukong continued: "Your Highness, the current Lin family is indeed powerful, although it is ranked among the seven major families, it has surpassed the seven major families, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in power. But no matter how strong the Lin family is, they are just ministers of the stars. And His Royal Highness is the prince whom His Majesty the Emperor attaches the most importance to, and he will inherit the throne in the future, and he will be the king of my heavenly stars. Since ancient times, the monarch is the minister, the monarch lets the minister die, and the minister has to die. Even if the Lin family is mad, they will never dare to do anything arrogant and rebellious, let alone be an enemy of His Highness. ”

"Moreover, although Lin Ling is a descendant of the Lin family, she is just Lin Tianxiao's righteous granddaughter, and her weight is far from comparable to the lineage of the Lin family. If His Royal Highness included Lin Ling in the palace and created a fait accompli, the Lin family could only admit it even if they were unwilling. After all, it's just a little girl who is not much stronger than a slave maid, although she is a little difficult to get by, but as long as His Highness appeases him a little afterwards, it will be fine. If you take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Lin family and pull the Lin family under the command of His Royal Highness, then His Highness's position will be greatly stabilized. ”

Liu Xiang's eyes lit up, and Ma Bukong's words touched Liu Xiang's heart at once.

"Are you sure things will turn out as you say they are?"

Ma Bukong said confidently: "As a child of the family, my subordinates have long been transparent about the family's thoughts. The so-called righteous sons and daughters are all tools used by the family to expand their power. The righteous son and grandson can be used to charge into battle, and the righteous granddaughter is naturally used to marry the alliance. Using a righteous granddaughter in exchange for His Royal Highness's favor is probably what the Lin family dreams of. ”

Ma Bukong's words once again hit Liu Xiang's psychological defense, Liu Xiang's eyes flickered, obviously caught in a tangle, and only the last trace of hesitation remained.

Seeing that Liu Xiangxin was moved, Ma Bukong made persistent efforts and gave Liu the last dose of fierce medicine.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this, even if you take ten thousand steps back, Your Highness will now let Lin Ling go. I'm afraid that in the future, Lin Ling will only hate His Highness and will not be grateful to His Highness. After all, in Lin Ling's heart, Lin Zhan has always been put in the most important ......"

"Enough. ”

Before Ma Bukong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Xiang's violent drinking.

As soon as Ma Bukong mentioned Lin Zhan, it was like touching Liu Xiang's sore feet, and Liu Xiang's face changed suddenly. The eyes that looked at Lin Ling also changed, and the original gentleness and pity were greatly reduced, and more became greed, obsession, and the pleasure of revenge.

"Go down, I'm satisfied this time. ”

Ma Bukong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed down and retreated.

The royal guards also retreated with indifferent faces.

Their task was only to protect the safety of the sixth prince, Liu Xiang, and as for what Liu Xiang was going to do, it had nothing to do with them.

In the room, only Lin Ling and Liu Xiang were left.
