Exile

61

Only after watching Jiang Jing following Hu Hong to the drawing-room, did Jiang Mao take Su Qingbai back.

After sending Su Qingbai back to his room, Jiang Mao immediately came to the drawing-room, where Jiang Jing had sat waiting for him.

The two sat down.

"I wonder what happened for Third Elder Brother coming to my house today?" The offense was already made, and Jiang Mao was not courteous towards him, so he asked directly.

Jiang Jing picked up the tea that the pageboy had brought. It was the hottest time of the year. Although the tea was not very hot, it was still a bit too hot to gulp down. Jiang Jing blew it a little before taking a mouthful and then got right to the point. "As the elder brother, I would like to ask you a favor."

Jiang Mao looked at him with some surprise. As far as he knew, Jiang Jing was the most powerful of all the princes, not to mention, he had also roped in many officials in the past two years. It was only between them that they had practically broken off. Jiang Jing was in trouble; why wouldn't it be his turn to help?

It was very inconceivable.

Jiang Jing lowered his head and smiled with an unintelligible smile. Then he gripped his cup tightly. Suddenly, his expression turned fierce as he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to pull Du Cheng down."

Jiang Mao was even more surprised. Du Cheng was Jiang Jing's greatest helper. If Jiang Jing wanted to overthrow Du Cheng, it was simply self-destruction of the Great Wall.

When one was asking for help, one nevertheless had to provide sincerity. Jiang Jing explained the reason to him, "One month ago, I happened to discover that Du Cheng bribed the people who served me. All along, he had been instructing them to slip me drugs for five years."

"What will he benefits from it?" If it was true, then Jiang Mao felt a little incomprehension towards the maternal uncle and nephew. The old emperor was dying, so Du Cheng could only rely on Jiang Jing now. If Jiang Jing died, it would be harmful to him and not beneficial at all.

Jiang Mao didn't believe it.

"Benefits?" Jiang Jing bowed his head and sneered, "My good uncle, the drug he prescribed won't kill me overnight, but it's hard to say about later. While helping me, he harming me, and when I take the throne, he will sit and receive the profits of the fisherman."

In fact, Jiang Jing didn't tell all the facts. It was too hard to tell.

Du Cheng didn't really want to kill him but gave him a drug to make him lose fertility.

This kind of thing was intolerable to any man. Jiang Jing clenched his fist and pinched his nails into the flesh. If there were no descendants, what's the meaning of his sitting on the throne? After a hundred years, he was not going to give the throne to others.

Every time he thought about it, he would like to kill Du Cheng immediately. He really couldn't endure nausea every day to go on with Du Cheng's hypocritical show of affection.

Jiang Jing came to Jiang Mao for help because he knew that Jiang Mao and Du Cheng had a lot of friction and conflicts of interest.

Naturally, Jiang Mao couldn't promise him just like that. Who knew if this was Jiang Jing's trap? If this was a play performed by them, the uncle and nephew, was it not their plan that he rashly agreed to it?

Jiang Jing probably guessed what he was thinking and rushed to say to him, "You can rest assured that this prince will not deceive you, I will let you see my sincerity. At that time, I will start to move first, I only hope you can cooperate with me then."

Jiang Mao looked into Jiang Jing's eyes for a long time before he said, "I can only say that if you really move a hand against Du Cheng, I'll give you a hand."

Jiang Jing burst out with a laugh. "Will do."

Jiang Jing sipped a mouthful of tea and suddenly looked up and asked Jiang Mao, "By the way, who was that Gongzi just now? How come I've never seen him before?"

Jiang Mao grinned. "Just a nobody, who won't enter Third Elder Brother's eyes."

On one side, Lin Feng, who standing behind Jiang Jing, hesitated and stared at Jiang Mao's murderous gaze while saying, "It's Su Lingchuan's family third Gongzi."

Jiang Jing smiled and looked at Jiang Mao dangerously. "Fourth Brother, you are so bold to dare to bring a criminal subject into the capital privately."

Hearing that, Jiang Mao looked at him coldly. The tiny and fragile cup in his hand was suddenly crushed by him. The next moment, the drawing-room was surrounded by a circle of private soldiers in Jiang Mao's residence.

Jiang Jing looked around at the people and his face turned a little white. "Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"

Jiang Mao looked at Jiang Jing dangerously and said nothing.

Jiang Jing looked at Jiang Mao. Was this intending to kill him?

Jiang Mao did think so. He dared to bring Su Qingbai into the capital because he believed that no one would offend Su Qingbai even if he was recognized because Yue Wang himself was in the Third Prince's faction, but he never expected that Jiang Jing would suddenly come to his home in person and so happen to meet Su Qingbai.

"Hahahaha." Suddenly, Jiang Jing laughed, and then said amenably, "Fourth Brother, this prince is joking with you. Prime Minister Su was dubbed a false accusation, so Su Gongzi is not a criminal."

"Right, since the man is Su Gongzi, trouble Fourth Brother to call him in." Jiang Jing suddenly turned to the topic and said, "This prince sent people to invite Prime Minister Su; that is the wife's family of Prime Minister Su's second son. I haven't heard from them for months. I wonder if Su Gongzi has seen them."

"Unfortunately." Jiang Mao smiled lukewarmly. "The Sun's father and son happened to be met by me. They tried to raise hands towards me, and they also spoke rudely. I let people throw them out with a broken leg."

As soon as he left Yue Wang Residence, Jiang Jing's face suddenly became ugly. "Jiang Mao really doesn't take this prince in his eyes." If his people were said to be hit, then it meant they were hit. If said to be crippled, then they were crippled.

With that, Jiang Jing stopped and turned to Lin Feng as he said, "You go and get the Sun's father and son back." Getting back the Sun's father and son could win the hearts of the people and on another hand; they could annoy Jiang Mao.

After commanding Lin Feng, Jiang Jing suddenly thought of Su Qingbai. His eyes darkened. He thought he would not have to worry about Jiang Mao, but who knew when Jiang Mao pulled the three sons of Su Lingchuan together?

At the border town in the small mountain village.

"The Su people have done me such terrible harm that I will not let them go." With that, Sun Zhe grabbed the visitor's arm and pleaded, "Please, I request Brother Lou to help me."

The man opposite was Lou Ningyu. He helped as support to Sun Zhe and sighed, "Brother Sun, Su Qingbai once spoiled my younger sister's marriage. I also don't like him, but I am unable to do anything about it. It's not that I won't help you, it's just that Third Prince made a special instruction before I came, that is to not mess with Su Family." After thinking about it, he said again, "Look at the situation, Su Lingchuan is likely to rise again. Let's leave him alone."

Sun Zhe's face shown dissatisfaction and he hammered his chest. "Is it impossible?"

Lou Ningyu sighed, which was the default of yes.
