Chapter 1042 No, I didn’t, you’re talking nonsense
"Senior, are you really not making fun of this junior with your words?"
Seeing Nangong Dou's serious face, Ye Chen began to believe it.
"Ye Xiaoyou, let the little girl Mingyue handle the matters here. Let's find a quiet place to talk!"
Nangong Dou made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen.
"This...senior please go first!"
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Although he suspected that Nangong Dou had a purpose, since the other party didn't kill him just now to set an example, he probably wouldn't do it next.
What's more, since Nangong Dou agrees with his decision to support Nangong Mingyue, in addition to being more optimistic about Nangong Mingyue, he should really want something from him.
Of course, if the other party really wants to kill him, he can't really sit still and wait for death.
After all, he is a systematic time traveler.
Even if his cultivation level is far inferior to that of Nangong Dou, he still has ways to save his life.
"I'll leave the aftermath to you!"
After saying this to Nangong Mingyue, Ye Chen followed Nangong Dou and walked deep into the palace.
"Don't worry, sir, if I can't handle this well, how can I live up to your trust?"
Nangong Mingyue hurriedly promised.
Then, as if she remembered something, she shouted to her grandfather's back: "Grandpa Huang, Mr. Ye has always treated us well. I hope you can treat him well!"
"What are you thinking about, little girl?"
Nangong Dou turned around and glared at Nangong Mingyue, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "If I really want to kill your grandpa, why should I wait until now?"
…
Not long after, deep inside the palace.
Inside an elegantly decorated courtyard.
"Senior, what do you want to teach me?"
As soon as he sat down on the chair, Ye Chen asked straight to the point.
"You still don't believe what I want to ask you?"
Nangong Douku asked rhetorically.
"this……"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and then said: "Senior, just say it directly if you have anything to say, junior doesn't like to beat around the bush!"
With his own plan, he calmed down the battle for the throne without any bloodshed.
Logically speaking, Nangong Dou, the late emperor of the Nangong royal family, should be furious.
Even if he is rather optimistic about the woman Nangong Mingyue, he will punish himself in order to prevent her descendants from becoming his puppets.
But in fact, instead of unleashing the wrath of thunder, Nangong Dou went along with the flow and fulfilled his plan.
And until now, he still hasn't figured out Nangong Dou's true purpose.
"Whether you believe it or not, I really just want to ask you about cultivation issues!"
Nangong Dou was too lazy to explain. He first made a cup of hot tea for Ye Chen, and after using his spiritual power to send it to Ye Chen, he then pointed out: "You are a smart man. You are so smart that as long as you are willing, you can do whatever you want."
Enough to count anyone in!"
Having said this, Nangong Dou laughed at himself, "Including me, right?"
"Senior is joking!"
Ye Chen smiled awkwardly and said modestly: "The little tricks of the younger generation are fine for calculating other people, but in front of a master like you, senior, with a keen eye for discernment, they are just ridiculous little tricks!"
"Stop being so modest!"
Nangong Dou sighed: "Although I have reached a state that is infinitely close to enlightenment and ascension, and can understand every move of anything within a thousand miles, I still cannot guess the human heart!"
He looked at Ye Chen and said: "If I guessed correctly, you had already taken my threat into account when you decided to intervene in the battle for the throne. Otherwise, based on your ability, whoever you want to support will become the leader.
You can use a simpler method to achieve your goal, and there is no need to spend so much time."
After a pause, he added: "As for you forcibly supporting the little girl Mingyue to take the position instead of the other five current princes, it is because only the little girl Mingyue has a humble and docile temperament, and will not launch a big liquidation after taking the position.
, in order to minimize casualties!”
"Of course, you are so capable, but you did not rise to the throne yourself. Instead, you are only manipulating everything behind the scenes. In addition to not having much interest in the throne, you probably also want to show goodwill to me in disguise, right?"
After such an in-depth analysis, Ye Chen couldn't help but look at Nangong Dou a few more times.
However, he still continued to pretend to be confused, "Senior, what you said is purely your personal conjecture. Junior is really not as sinister as you say!"
"You boy, at such a young age, the city is so deep and watertight. If time passes, won't you be able to manipulate the whole world at your fingertips?"
Nangong Dou raised his glass and took a mouthful of food, and then said: "But it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I have been in seclusion for decades and am really bored. Now I finally come out. I just want to find someone who is at the same level as me to chat.
!”
"But the younger generation is less talented and less knowledgeable, and compared with the seniors, their level is even more..."
"enough!"
Ye Chen wanted to continue pretending to be stupid, but Nangong Dou was a little impatient, "Although I am quite impressed by you, if you continue to pretend to be stupid, you are teasing me!"
"That's...okay!"
Nangong Doudu said this, and Ye Chen stopped talking in circles and said directly: "Senior, since you have been in seclusion before this, how did you know about all the actions of this junior in the imperial capital?"
Everything Nangong Dou said just now is indeed not much different from his plan.
Whether it was supporting Nangong Mingyue to ascend to the throne or the direction of the battle for the throne from beginning to end, it was all within his budget.
Only one thing was beyond his expectation.
That is, Nangong Dou’s surveillance ability!
With his previous cultivation level, even the princes and princesses, as well as various forces, were unable to monitor his every move in the imperial capital.
Unless he intentionally spreads the news or shows up on purpose.
However, the Nangong Dou in front of him has clearly been in seclusion for decades, but the private conversation between him and Nangong Mingyue was clearly heard by the other party.
This really caught him by surprise.
"This has something to do with my current state!"
Nangong Dou did not pretend to be mysterious, and said directly: "I am only one step away from attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven. As long as I am willing, no movement within a thousand miles can escape my perception, including your secret relationship with that little girl Mingyue.
Conversation down there!”
"I see!"
Ye Chen was finally relieved.
But I felt a little embarrassed in my heart.
If you reach Nangong Dou's level and can understand any movement within a thousand miles, then wouldn't it mean that the entire empire, as well as the whispers and actions of everyone around him, would not be able to escape Nangong Dou's surveillance?
And in this way, in front of Nangong Dou, all the private words and actions that the world thinks are as ridiculous as hiding their ears and stealing the bell?
"Junior has finally figured something out now!"
Thinking about it, Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Emperor Qingwu was extravagant and indulgent in his later years, but he still had no inhibitions. It turns out that it's not because you are in seclusion, senior, so I don't worry about you taking care of him, but His Majesty Emperor Qingwu knows very well that senior
Even if you know about it, you won't ask or interfere, right?"
"good!"
Nangong Dou nodded, "When Xiaoxian was young, he was full of energy and passion. Among my several heirs, he is indeed the most outstanding candidate to succeed to the throne!"
"Junior has a rather sensitive question. I don't know whether to ask it or not?"
Seemingly remembering something, Ye Chen asked tentatively.
