Feng He walked out of the closet and said with a smile: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Chengtong noticed Feng He's presence when he entered the door, but he also concluded that Feng He's cultivation level was not high, so he closed the door without any worries.
Feng He originally only had the peak cultivation level of a grandmaster. After following Long Chen, he got a secret book and his cultivation level was raised to the middle stage of a king.
Although his cultivation has improved a lot, he is still a weakling compared to Li Chengtong in the middle stage of Emperor Wu.
Therefore, Li Chengtong didn't care.
"Who are you? What are you doing hiding in my prince's room?"
Li Chengtong had a contemptuous smile on his face and was ready to kill Feng He at any time.
"I have been ordered by Lord Long Chengen to deliver a message to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Feng He smiled and saluted, looking very respectful.
He knew that Li Chengtong could kill him at any time, but he was also sure that Li Chengtong would not do it.
"Long Chengen? He arrived at Jade Buddha Pass?"
Li Chengtong secretly raised his energy and was ready to capture Feng He at any time.
Feng Hebei said: "Yes, this is Lord Long's letter."
Feng He slowly took out a letter from his sleeve, placed it on the table next to him, and then stepped away.
Li Chengtong slowly picked up the envelope and opened it slowly, his eyes never leaving Feng He.
Although Li Chengtong had high cultivation and looked down on Feng He, he was not careless at all, which shows that he was cautious in doing things.
Feng He was very nervous. He had met Li Chengtong when he was in the Tianwei Legion. Feng He was not sure whether Li Chengtong remembered it.
After all, Feng He was just a general under Shangguan Xiu at that time and his status was very low.
After reading the letter, Li Chengtong frowned and said coldly: "What does Long Chengen mean by this? Threaten the prince?"
In the letter, Long Chen first expressed his gratitude to Li Chengtong for sabotaging the Imperial City Division's poisoning plan in Qianjiang County.
Then, Long Chengen said he wanted to meet Li Chengtong and talk about cooperation in person.
Feng He chuckled and said, "I'm just a messenger. I don't know what I said. Lord Long just asked me to ask if His Highness the Crown Prince would like to meet."
This was what Li Chengtong was most worried about. If Long Chen really brought this matter to Li Chengdao and accused him of colluding with foreign enemies, he, the crown prince, would not be safe.
Li Chengdao came to power through rebellion and valued loyalty most. If he knew that Li Chengtong had betrayed him, he would definitely be deposed or even killed!
Li Chengtong stared at Feng He, his eyes full of murderous intent, and Feng He unconsciously took half a step back.
Feng He's retreat gave Li Chengtong a sense of victory.
Li Chengtong was thinking in his mind whether he should meet Long Chen or not.
If he saw it, there would be an ambush on the other side; if he didn't see it, he would have something in Long Chen's hands.
"What does Long Chengen want to cooperate with?"
Li Chengtong asked coldly.
Feng He said: "Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, Master Long's idea is actually very simple, which is to defeat Jing Tianlie, but to defeat Jing Tianlie, His Highness the Crown Prince and the third prince must stand aside and watch."
"Master Long and the Third Prince are not familiar with each other, and there is an old grudge, so we can only talk to His Highness the Crown Prince about cooperation."
The Imperial City Secretary assassinated Long Chen in Qianjiang County, so it makes sense for Feng He to say that there was a grudge between the two sides.
"Third brother will not stand idly by."
Li Chengtong was constantly calculating the pros and cons in his mind.
Feng He chuckled and said, "I'm just a messenger. How can I do it? Please discuss it in detail with Lord Long."
Li Chengtong said coldly: "Aren't Long Chengen afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill him?"
Li Chengtong could pretend to agree, and then join forces with Jing Tianlie, Li Yuanying, and Murong Lin to take action. Long Chen would definitely die.
Feng He laughed softly and said: "Your Highness, even if you join others to kill Lord Long, as long as the news of collaborating with the enemy reaches the emperor's hands, regardless of your contribution, the crown prince's position will not be guaranteed."
"Master Long said that His Highness the Crown Prince is a smart man and knows how to weigh the pros and cons."
Li Chengtong also knew in his heart that the most important thing to him was the position of prince.
No matter who wins or loses between Long Chen and Jing Tianlie, it is the matter of Dazhou.
If Jingtianlie wins, Nanliang will get the city of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but he will lose his position as the prince, or even be killed, and the deal will be a loss.
If Long Chen wins, Nanliang will not suffer any losses. Linjiang City belongs to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Caishi City has already been occupied.
After thinking for a long time, Li Chengtong finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet! What's the time and place?"
Feng He said: "Tonight, at midnight, ten miles outside Xifeng Town, in the Ape Roaring Valley, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came alone, and Master Long also attended the meeting alone."
Li Chengtong asked suspiciously: "How do I know if there will be an ambush?"
Feng He chuckled and said: "This is a matter of trust. If His Highness the Crown Prince cannot trust you, then there is nothing we can do."
"However, if His Highness the Crown Prince does not come, then the Holy One will probably know something soon."
This was coercion and inducement. Li Chengtong suddenly took action, pinched Feng He's throat, and lifted Feng He in the air with one hand, like an eagle catching a chicken.
"How dare you threaten this prince!"
Feng He opened his hands and kept moving his eyes, indicating that he did not mean this.
Li Chengtong did not let go. He squeezed until Feng He rolled his eyes and then let go.
Feng He fell to the ground, gasping for air, covering his mouth and coughing.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...has lost his identity..."
Feng He cannot reach the cultivation level of a middle-level king, and Li Chengtong, who is in the middle-level martial emperor level, is like an adult beating a three-year-old child.
"Hmph! Go back and tell Long Chengen that I will keep the appointment on time."
"Also, tell him not to play tricks! Otherwise, I will make him die miserably!"
Feng He regained his breath, slowly got up from the ground, and said, "I must bring the words to you!"
Feng He left the room through the window, jumped into the nearby mountains, and after twists and turns, returned to the Xifeng Town Inn.
He was worried that someone was following him, so he went back only after making sure no one was following him.
After entering the courtyard, Long Chen walked out.
"How about it?"
Feng He did not answer, but complained: "I was almost killed by Li Chengtong!"
Long Chen saw that the bruises on Feng He's neck were serious, so he immediately took out a bottle from his body, poured out a pill, and threw it to Feng He: "Take it!"
Feng He held the pill and looked at it for a long time, then asked: "Sir, is this not poison?"
Long Chen grabbed the pill and swallowed it himself.
Feng He chuckled and said, "Young man doesn't know how to show appreciation. Sir, please give me another one."
Long Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and cursed: "No more! It's all poison! Tell me, what's going on!"
Feng He said sheepishly: "Li Chengtong agreed, but I guess he is dishonest and will bring someone here, most likely Murong Lin."
Long Chen has broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm. It is useless to lead ordinary people. If you want to kill Long Chen reliably, you must bring a master of the Martial Emperor Realm to hold down the formation. This person must be Murong Lin.
Long Chen felt happy. Li Chengtong was willing to come out, and the plan became possible.
"Okay, I'm not afraid that he will bring people here, but I'm afraid that he won't come out."
Feng He stared at the medicine bottle on Long Chen's body and said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, can you give me a pill? I'm sorry for being careless."
Long Chen snorted coldly, opened the stopper, poured out one pill and threw it over. Feng He opened his mouth and swallowed it directly.
"Thank you, sir! Do you have any other instructions?"
Long Chen said: "Brothers in the Jingtian Lie Army, please keep in touch and don't cause problems at critical moments."
Feng He said with a smile: "There will definitely be no problem! Please resign!"
Feng He left, and Long Chen went back to his room to sleep, preparing to meet Li Chengtong in the evening.
