Chapter 304: The Dark Tide Rises

Ah Dong waited in the shadows of the side hall, he looked to be in his twenties, with a muscular figure and a slight emaciation. A face jīng Ming strong dry è. He had a scarf on his left arm, and there were still blood stains oozing out of it. But he didn't seem to care at all, standing there straight like a tree, seemingly never tireless.

Kitano's gaze was fixed on the wound on Adong's shoulder, and he said, "How is your injury?"

On the one hand, his tone maintained the distance and condescension of his master when he spoke to the servant, and on the other hand, it was very gentle and revealed his concern for Adong.

Ah Dong's face lù out of the feeling of the god è said: "Bear the master's attention." Out of the way. ”

Kitano Feng nodded and said, "Tell me, how is the situation?"

Ah Dong said succinctly: "We tracked down the fake editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng according to the master's clues. Sure enough, his whereabouts were found in the settlement of the southern tribes, but this man was very cunning and very alert, and when he found that someone was looking for clues about him, he fled again, and changed four hiding places successively, and the last time, when we were tracking, we were ambushed by him. It seems that he is related to several different forces. Later, we tracked him down and found out that he had arrived outside the city, and the three of them continued to follow him and asked me to come back and report back to Childe. ”

After a pause, he added: "Although he was allowed to escape for the time being, Childe can rest assured, although I received a sword from him just now, I also sprinkled a thousand miles on him, and he will definitely not be able to escape the tracking of the three of them." ”

Kitano Feng gently patted Ah Dong's shoulder and said, "You did a good job, go back and have a good rest, I won't give you another task in the next two days, you go back and recuperate." Also, you can stay in the West Courtyard temporarily. Which NV person you like, you can choose for yourself. ”

Ah Dong's eyes showed excitement and emotion, and he was obviously quite surprised to receive such a heavy reward, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Childe!"

Kitano Feng waved his hand to let Ah Dong retreat, and there was some surprise between the gods, obviously Kitano Feng also felt that he had underestimated the energy of Cai Ziheng's editor-in-chief.

By the time Kitano Feng came to the study, the eldest prince Li Xuzhi had been waiting inside for a long time. But there was not the slightest displeasure on his face. He even seemed very happy, and didn't mention that he had waited for a long time.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and then sat down, Li Xuzhi carefully observed Beiye Peak, and said, "The prince of Beiye Peak called me here, saying that there is something important to discuss." I don't know what the hell is going on? What's the use of my Li Xuzhi, just say, don't be polite. ”

Kitano Feng smiled, knowing that Li Xuyi must have also heard about the bet he made with Li Zixuan, thinking that he came to him today to ask him for help, so he looked like he had a plan. Perhaps he was hoping to seize the opportunity to draw himself into his camp.

Kitano Feng has been deliberately maintaining the political power in his hands, so that he will not be too strong and arouse the suspicion of the Lingyun Pavilion Master, and at the same time, he must not be too weak to attract the attention of others.

It was because Kitano Mine succeeded in maintaining this delicate balance that he was able to become a decisive force in the competition between Li Xuzhi and Li Qianzhi for the position of pavilion master. If any side can get his support, it can quickly occupy an absolute advantage in the cabinet.

This is also the reason why Li Qianzhi and Li Xuzhi are so afraid of Kitano Peak.

Kitano Feng smiled and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest prince." My affairs, presumably I still take care of it myself, please rest assured. As for inviting the eldest prince here today, it is for another matter. ”

Li Xuzhi nodded and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Kitano Feng said: "Now, the eldest prince and the second prince are fighting for the position of pavilion master, which is already a well-known thing."

When Li Xuzhi heard this, a smile appeared on his somewhat unnatural face, and he said, "Where did Kitano Gongzi come from? My relationship with my second brother has always been very good. Those rumors are just chasing after the wind. ”

Kitano Feng ignored him and continued: "People say that the eldest prince is wise and wise, approachable, not as short-tempered and impulsive as the second prince, and there are many strange people around the eldest prince, and there are many high-level people in the cabinet who are interested in the eldest prince, so many people say that the eldest prince will inherit the position of the pavilion master in the future, which is just a well-deserved and logical thing." ”

Li Xuzhi tried to hide the joy on Zhu's face, but he couldn't help grinning and said: "I don't have this kind of thought, and I don't dare to have this kind of ambition, of course, if my father really wants me to inherit his throne, I will definitely do my best, and I will definitely live up to my father's expectations." ”

Kitano Feng changed his words and said: "Although everyone says that the eldest prince has a greater hope of inheriting the position of pavilion master, in my opinion, although the eldest prince has attracted many people and received the support of many high-level officials, he may not be as good as the prince in terms of actual power. If one day, the Pavilion Master suddenly said,"

When Kitano Feng said this, those two words didn't come out, but Li Xuzhi obviously understood, "Really speaking, I think that the second son has a better chance of inheriting the position of pavilion master." ”

Li Xuzhi was stunned, laughed dryly, and said, "If my father decides to pass on the position of pavilion master to the second brother, it will be very good." ”

Kitano Feng was stunned and continued: "Eldest Prince, why do I say that? This is because among the hands of the second prince and the eldest prince, there are two people who have played a very crucial role. One is the current deputy helmsman of the Féi City Army, Song Siming, and the other is Fu Shan, the president of the mercenary union. Song Siming, he is currently the helmsman of the nominal féi city army, and has a high prestige in the military, because of the féi city army system, it is difficult for the four famous mén to infiltrate, it can be said that if there is a change, Song Siming, who controls the féi city army, can become a pivotal force. I think the eldest prince must have been a headache for this person, right?"

Li Xuzhi coughed dryly twice and did not answer.

Kitano Feng continued: "Let's talk about Fu Shan, the president of the mercenary union. This man is very low-key. Because the mercenary guild is nominally a civil organization, and the establishment can be regarded as a rebirth and a super mercenary alliance, but in fact, the president of the union is still appointed by the cabinet. This person has always been the second son's best friend. He was also the first person to fall to the second son. If it weren't for him, the second son would not have been able to gain a firm foothold. However, since this man is not a real cabinet official, it seems that everyone has ignored him. ”

"Think about it, over the years, under the painstaking management of the cabinet master, the mercenary union has already been turned into a paramilitary organization, and all the mercenaries are under the same command and dispatch of the mercenary union. There are more than 100,000 mercenaries in the whole cabinet, and in the city of Féi alone, there are tens of thousands. Isn't this force terrifying?"

"Moreover," Kitano Feng looked at Li Xu's words lightly, and said: "The second prime minister has gathered a lot of talents from the bottom of society, and many of them are people from the four sects and eighteenth ranks. How did the second son use to win them over? Most of them were arranged in the mercenary association. Under the care of Fu Shan, the president of the mercenary union, they can go on the best business trip and get the best income. ”

"As long as these two people are still there for a day, it is impossible for the eldest prince to move the second son. Even if it's a pavilion master, I'm afraid you have to think about it. Kitano Feng turned his head and smiled at Li Xuzhi, "I'm afraid this is the cleverness of the second son." ”

The eldest prince fell silent, obviously being told by Kitano Peak, and there were complicated expressions of worry and hatred in his eyes.

Beiye Feng saw that the time had come, so he said: "Now there is a chance to let the eldest prince bring these two people down, as long as these two people fall, the forces supporting the second prince will be gone, and at that time, how can the second prince still be able to compete with the eldest prince? Lingyun Pavilion is naturally the world of the eldest prince." ”
