Chapter 996

Chapter 996 A knife hidden in a smile

Nangong Qin said so much in one breath, and every word was flawless.

However, Ye Chen did not interrupt, nor did he complain for the other party, or cast a look of sympathy or pity.

His expression remained as cold as ever.

It wasn't until Nangong Qin stopped that he said, "I can understand your difficulties!"

Nangong Qin's expression froze.

He tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to get more response from Ye Chen.

Unfortunately, after saying this, Ye Chen turned around and walked to the other side, never looking at him again.

Nangong Qin's brows gradually wrinkled, and a hint of shame and anger flashed in his eyes.

He had racked his brains and words just now to say so much, just to win Ye Chen's sympathy and not to have a psychological grudge against himself because of this matter.

Unexpectedly, after he said so much, Ye Chen would just respond casually with such a neither salty nor bland comment.

what is this?

Are you perfunctory with yourself?

"Since we are here, please arrange a room for each of us!"

As if he had no idea what Nangong Qin was thinking, Ye Chen thought to himself: "We may have to come in and out of here often in the future, and it's not good to have a place to stay!"

Nangong Qin was still a little dissatisfied, but he didn't want to create any complications, so he went along with the flow and said, "Don't worry, although my mansion is small, it has many rooms!"

With that said, he immediately ordered several servants to prepare the room.

Then, several servants brought another table of ordinary dishes, and everyone gathered together to have a meal. Ye Chen left Nangong Qin's mansion on the pretext that he had something to do.

"His life experience is indeed quite miserable!"

On the way back to Tian Lai Zhi Yin, Li Fengyu frowned and said: "It is indeed a bit excessive for him to break with the second prince, but according to him, there are also reasons for having to do it. Why were you always so indifferent to him just now?"

"Can't you still see it?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly: "This is just his scheming!"

"What do you mean by this?"

Li Fengyu was startled.

Jin Lin also looked puzzled.

Ye Chen said: "Even if his life experience is miserable, the fact that the second prince Nangong Kaige has protected him for so many years should not be an excuse for him to betray the second prince!"

"Secondly, when he was at the second prince's residence just now, on the surface, it seemed that he was trying to smooth things over between the little princess and the second prince, but in fact he was just deliberately irritating the second prince!"

"Why did he deliberately anger the second prince?"

Li Fengyu couldn't understand it even more.

"To put it nicely, it's just a good excuse for him to start his own business!"

Ye Chen sneered and said: "To put it harshly, he is trying to burn bridges by crossing the river!"

“Burning bridges?”

Li Fengyu was startled.

"good!"

Ye Chen nodded, "When the second prince was still gaining momentum, he felt that the other prince was valuable and almost obeyed his orders. He even used brotherhood to morally kidnap the second prince at every turn!"

"You also saw the result!"

Ye Chen spread his hands, "Now that the second prince has become a loner and has no use value, he will instantly turn his back and deny anyone else!"

"People's hearts are evil!"

He shook his head and sighed: "This kind of person who has no bottom line and who even abandons family ties is like a piece of shit. If one day I lose my use value, guess what he will do to me?"

After some analysis, Li Fengyu and Jin Lin felt chills running down their spines.

"This Nangong Qin is really insidious!"

"Is it possible that he just said so much to you with all his sincerity just to win your sympathy?"

"good!"

Ye Chen nodded, "What he relies on now is nothing more than me and the Moon Worshiping Empire represented by Princess Sarah!"

"And the Moon Worshiping Empire is far away in a foreign country. Even if it gets the full support of the Moon Worshiping Empire, water from afar cannot save the fire that is near!"

"So, the only one he can rely on now is me!"

"If he doesn't gain my trust, he will feel uneasy!"

"but……"

Ye Chen changed the topic and said: "Even if he has a thousand excuses, no matter how good the reasons are, they can't hide the fact that he is ruthless and ruthless!"

"Then will you continue to support him in his rise to power?"

Li Fengyu asked.

"Actually, I have already made arrangements!"

Ye Chen smiled mysteriously.

"What's the meaning?"

Li Fengyu seemed to understand, "Could it be that you had a plan in advance?"

"That's right!"

Ye Chen nodded and pointedly said: "I am not anyone's subordinate, and I have no obligation to be loyal to anyone. In the final analysis, I am just fighting for myself!"

"In order to obtain the royal-level cultivation techniques and combat skills of the Nangong royal family?"

This time Li Fengyu didn't speak yet, but Jin Lin asked first.

After all, she has been following Ye Chen for a relatively long time and knows Ye Chen's situation best.

"good!"

Ye Chen did not deny this, "From the beginning, I had no interest in disturbing the power struggle in the imperial capital. It's just that if I didn't get involved, I wouldn't be able to achieve my goal!"

"so……"

He glanced at the two women and added: "No matter who comes to power in the end, as long as it meets my requirements, I don't care!"

"Then do you want to support the second prince or the fifth prince?"

The more Li Fengyu listened, the more confused he became.

"You will know when the time comes, keep it secret for now!"



Time flies by.

Five days later, a poem spread throughout all the loud and sensual places.

Many kaikos are proud to sing this popular poem.

Because as soon as this poem came out, it caused an uproar.

The poem is as follows:

The emperor's death is a turbulent time, and the five stars are still in chaos;

When Nanlang comes into the middle, the world will be in good health.

The poem is very short, with only two lines, and the meaning expressed is also very easy to understand, and almost everyone, young and old, can understand it at a glance.

It is precisely because of this that it quickly aroused widespread public opinion.

Some people think that this is an oracle, foretelling that after the death of Emperor Qingwu, five princes competed for the throne, causing chaos in the imperial capital.

But in the end, not only did no prince succeed, but a young man from the south made the difference in one fell swoop.

Because the poems were widely sung, they quickly spread among the people after spreading in various loud and erotic places.

So in just a few days, countless corners of the entire imperial capital were discussing whether this hymn would come true.

"Do you think this is made up, or is it an oracle sent from heaven?"

“If you want to know the origin, you need to trace the roots of poetry!”

"Whether it is made up or not, this poem is extremely detrimental to the five princes who are competing for the throne!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Since Nanlang in the poem has the ability to change the world in one fell swoop, as long as any prince can get there first and win Nanlang under his command, he may be able to ascend to the throne and become emperor!"

"But there are so many powerful people in the Yong'an Empire. Among the royal family there is also the Supreme Emperor who is known as the most powerful person in the empire. The Supreme Emperor has not yet stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation. How can that Nanlang have such great ability?"

"Anyway, we are just civilians. Whoever comes to power in the end has little to do with us. We just need to wait and see if the prophecy in the poem is true!"

"We have all received the news. I guess the five princes are already on pins and needles, right?"
