"Ouch." Su Ming Feng screamed out, "Whatever for do you kick me? I just now wanted to warn her but she drank so fast. What can I do?" Su Ming Feng sized Xie Jungkook, "Speaking of which, the person at the disadvantage is also others and not you, why do you care about it."
Xie Jungkook ignored him and sat down in front of the table before questioning seriously, "The matter of the military horses that she spoke about is true?"
Hearing that, Su Ming Feng's face became ugly and under Xie Jungkook's sharp look, he said with difficulty, "Correct."
"Why did you hide it from me?" Xie Jungkook asked pressingly. Su Ming Feng shook his head and said wryly, "The matter was only privately discussed between my father and me and I did not even tell other, much less my Father. This is a matter that one official hat can drop easily so who will speak of it lightly. I initially wanted to tell you in these days... But How did Young Lady Shen know of the matter? Could it be that they also have some familiar people in the military horses? But the people in the military horses that is involved in the matter would not anyhow speak about it."
Xie Jungkook glanced at Su Ming Feng, although Su Ming Feng was considered a person brimming with talent, he was protected rigorously by the Su family from young and did not experience any big winds or storm. Speaking of which, there was an endless stream of cards in Shen Lisa's hands and each time it was beyond his expectations. Xie Jungkook gave Shen Lisa a 'retreat' strategy but did not think that Shen Lisa did not even use his strategy at all. By aligning with the Su family and other families to condemn Shen Xin, it was the very opposite strategy and could actually solve Shen Xin's immediate predicament. However the Emperor's mind was unpredictable so even if this time Shen Xin was spared, the Shen family army's military might was still strong and one day would be regarded as a eye-sore. One could hide once but could not hide a lifetime.
It's just that... Did Shen Lisa really not thought of this layer? Xie Jungkook did not think so.
Seeing Xie Jungkook being quiet and that usual cynical look on his face was replace by a pondering frown, Su Ming Feng became nervous. He was aware that even though this good friend looked casual, he had a better understanding than anyone of the matters of court. Su Ming Feng questioned, "Is there any problem?"
Xie Jungkook shook his head, "Just what do you think about it?"
"From the horse illness to horse plague, it is indeed very probable. Moreover the matter is so serious and Father is in charge of the management of the military horses. Once anything occurs, the Su family will have to bear the brunt of it." Su Ming Feng said, "If Young Lady Shen did not lie to me, I think it is worth a try. Even though it is a bit difficult to persuade Father, but... I will do my best." After pausing, Su Ming Feng looked towards Xie Jungkook, "What do you think about this deal?"
Xie Jungkook's eyebrows raised, "The biggest winner of this transaction is not you but you will not be at a disadvantage." He looked at Su Ming Lang, "Do as she says."
Su Ming Lang lowered his head and said with some hesitation, "But... To impeach Shen Xin in alliance, she is not afraid that she will outsmart herself."
"Don't you realise?" Xie Jungkook said with a smile but not a smile, "She could feel out the Emperor's mind clearly than you."
Su Ming Land did not speak but saw Xie Jungkook standing up. Su Ming Feng was stunned, "Where are you goind?"
"The request of commander." Xie Jungkook went back to that previous lazy appearance, "One must let the Marquis of Lin An take a look at it."

Outside the Su residence door, Shen Lisa put on her bamboo hat and asked Mo Qing beside her, "Just now in Su Ming Feng's room, did you feel the presence of someone else?"
