Chapter 55 Rumors

  Qian Buli and He Jiongming slipped into a secret room, with no one knowing what they were discussing. It wasn't until the sky was about to brighten that the two of them emerged from the room. Qian Buli looked relaxed, while He Jiongming appeared pale and walked unsteadily, clearly having been tormented throughout the night.

  "Qian Tongling, I've agreed to do everything you asked me to, I hope you can keep your promise!" He Qiongming no longer had the arrogant tone, his voice was almost pleading.

  "Don't worry, I'm a person who doesn't easily make promises. Since I've promised you, I'll definitely do it!" Qian replied solemnly.

  "Alas..." He Qiongming sighed.

  "Congratulations, master! I hope you can convey the message to Wei Chi Feng Yun as soon as possible. You should know that this not only concerns the safety of the prince, but also the safety of He Gongzi!" Qian Bu Li added.

  "I know what I should do!" He Xiao Ming sighed bitterly and walked out with his own guards.

  Wang Rui saw that Qian Buli was about to leave and hastily walked forward, saying in a low voice: "Sir, now Du Bing is controlling the army outside Liancheng Pass. If He Kuiming has ulterior motives..."

  "He can't afford to play this game with us anymore." Qian took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed one to Wang Rui: "Take a look at what he wrote, the old man's writing skills are indeed not bad."

  Wang Rui hesitantly took the paper, and as he looked at it, his mouth dropped open: "This... this... is this possible?! Your Majesty! Queen Wang and Wei Chi Feng Yun are having an affair?! Ji Sheng Lie is Wei Chi Feng Yun's son?! Heaven...!"

  "I don't care if it's possible or not!" Qian Buli's mouth curled up: "You say, if this article spreads out, what kind of consequences will it bring? Even if He Jiongming had a hundred mouths, could he explain himself clearly? And even if he could, how would that help? Rumors spreading among the people aren't something one person can stop, and in the end, the king will surely want his life!"

  Wang Rui shifted his gaze to Qian Buli's hands: "Sir, those are..."

  "That's the secret!" Qian carefully put away the papers, then smiled and patted Wang Rui on the shoulder: "You can relax now, from this moment on, He Jiongming is in the same boat as us. If the boat sinks, he'll die too. He knows what he should do."

  "Sir... You are really too awesome!"

  "No matter what, we must first occupy the moral high ground! This article is a trap I've set, and when the time comes for a direct confrontation with Wei Chi Feng Yun and Ji Sheng Lie, we'll take action under the banner of overthrowing the fake prince Wei Chi Sheng Lie." Qian Bu Li couldn't help but laugh more and more happily, he deeply understood the power of rumors, just like in his world, during the revolutionary era, the Nationalist Party spread rumors that the Communists were "sharing wives", causing countless ordinary people to be terrified and view them as tigers and scorpions.

  "Wei Chi Sheng Lie..." Wang Rui nodded understandingly.

  "Come with me and let's discuss the next plan." Qian Buli gave Ren Shuai a look, then sent someone to invite Jia Tianxiang.

  Jia Tianxiang couldn't sleep, the current situation was very critical, he had no mind to sleep. When he knew that Qian Buli used Ji Shengqing to set a trap, he was so angry and anxious that he could only wait for news from the other side. There was another person who didn't sleep, naturally it was Ji Shengqing who was being used... She only now understood why Qian Buli kept telling her to take a bath with a big bucket, use lots of water, and not expose her body above the water surface. At that time, although she didn't understand what Qian Buli meant, she still believed in Qian Buli and did as he said without hesitation. Now she was both ashamed and angry.

  When Qian Bu Li found Zhi Qi, as an uninvited guest, Ji Sheng Qing surprisingly pushed open the door and walked in.

  "Your Highness, you..." Qian Bu Li Yan turned his eyes and immediately understood the thoughts of Ji Sheng's little daughter. He hastily pointed to the middle seat: "Your Highness, we were just about to send someone to invite you, you've come at just the right time, please sit down."

  "Hmm!" Ji Shengqing ignored Qian Buli and walked to the front of Jia Tianxiang, who was sitting next to Qian Buli: "My earl, may I swap seats with you?"

  Jia Tianxiang was taken aback, then quickly stood up: "Of course, Your Highness, please sit down." Afterwards, Jia Tianxiang sneaked a glance at Qian Budili with a smile and walked over to sit in the middle position.

  Ji Shengqin smoothed her hair and sat down nonchalantly, her hand also casually reaching out towards Qian Buli's hand. However, Ji Shengqin's eyes were unfocused at the moment, otherwise she would have noticed that everyone had seen her little action.

  Qian Bu Li has a lot of experience in this regard, and with just one move, he can tell if it's there or not... Ji Sheng Qing makes a move, and Qian Bu Li immediately knows what she wants to do.

  Just as the two hands touched, before Ji Sheng's emotions had a chance to take hold, Qian Buli suddenly let out a loud cry: "Ah... it hurts so much!"

  Ji Sheng's emotions were startled, and she immediately turned bright red. She thought that a man who was pinched by a woman would also endure it silently, which is the demeanor of a man. The strong man in her heart should have an extraordinary demeanor! But before she could even move, Qian Buli was already shouting loudly there, he was really too shameless!

  Money rubbed his hands together and said: "Your Highness, we are currently discussing matters. You see, the two of us... isn't it better to wait until there's no one around before we..."

  She nodded and shook her head, neither of which was right. Her expression looked extremely awkward. What's this thing about the two of us? What's this thing about when there's no one around? This... is a bit too ambiguous!

  Jia Tianxiang replied, "Yes, Your Highness, we'll be leaving soon, and there's still enough time."

  Ren Shuai also smiled foolishly and added a sentence: "Commander, I have some bruise cream here, would you like it?"

  "Alright, then... let's start with your business."

  Qian Buli smiled and his expression turned serious: "Now everyone is clear about the situation, which is very unfavorable to us. However, we just pulled He Jiongming into our camp, what we need to do is take advantage of this and deceive Yuchi Fengyun!"
