C26 Flower Concubine
"Oh? "He admitted defeat without even fighting three opponents, but he's just a playboy. Isn't that just a lie?"
Concubine Hua couldn't help but raise her brows when she heard what Xiao Lin said. A trace of light flashed in her eyes as she asked.
Lin answered immediately, "Didn't Concubine Hua tell me to look for some promising young men in the city a few days ago?"
"On the day of the Martial Law's release, this servant coincidentally saw Wang Teng, who was called a popinjay, knock his opponent, Dong Chenmo, down at the entrance of the palace, until he fell to the ground."
"Later on, this servant was careful. Indeed, on the second day, Wang Teng was at the General's Mansion gate again, defeating his two opponents today, namely Luo Heng and Hua Feng!"
"So, this servant thinks that Wang Teng's three opponents conceding defeat is not because he's faking it, but because his opponents know their own limitations!"
Hearing Xiao Lin's explanation, a strange light flashed in Concubine Hua's phoenix eyes.
However, she did not panic. Instead, she continued to ask, "Then when he meets three opponents in a row that he has defeated, how will he explain it?"
"This servant has a guess, but I'm not sure!" Little Lin hesitantly said.
"Feel free to speak!" Concubine Hua immediately returned.
Lin thought for a moment, then continued: "This servant felt that Wang Teng was a bit unexpected, so after yesterday's competition, I followed him and prepared to contact him again."
"Then, this servant saw Hundred Treasures Pavilion's Jin Dachui find Wang Teng, and the two chatted for a while."
"I was afraid of being discovered by two people, so I didn't dare to approach. I couldn't hear clearly, but I still heard some things."
Concubine Hua's eyes turned cold. "What did you hear!?"
"I heard Jin Dachui say that he wanted to guarantee Wang Teng's entry into the top ten …"
"What!" Concubine Hua couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
This attracted the attention of the others.
Little Lin was sly. He quickly said a few words to fool the surrounding officials and nobles.
Then, Concubine Hua changed into an unprecedented expression of seriousness, and said to Xiao Lin word by word: "Hundred Treasures Pavilion never makes a loss business, Jin Dachui promised Wang Teng so many promises, certainly a lot!"
Lin nodded and said, "Concubine Hua is right, I saw that Wang Teng acted like a popinjay in the past and it was all an act. After all, General Wang Beixuan has a great reputation. It's not realistic to have a popinjay son."
"That's right." Concubine Hua also exposed a look as if she had seen through everything. "Wang Beixuan must be worried about the Emperor's suspicion, so he made Wang Teng pretend to be a popinjay," she said.
"I didn't expect him to still be so powerful. After being sent to jail by Seventh Prince, he forced Wang Teng to the point where he had no other choice but to show his strength!"
Hearing this, Lin couldn't help but say, "How about I contact Wang Teng? Our goal is the same as his, to keep Seventh Prince in check!"
Concubine Hua nodded her head gently. "This matter has been handled well. We'll return to the palace later to receive our rewards!"
"I, Xiao Lin, am Concubine Hua's servant for life. You have the honor of being my slave, so there is no need for you to bestow me any rewards!"
On Wang Teng's side, after he finished participating in the second round, a sharp voice suddenly came from beside the other arenas.
"Young Master Wangteng!"
Upon hearing this voice, one could tell that it was the palace eunuch.
Sure enough, when Wang Teng turned around, he saw a man dressed in eunuch's clothing, standing aside and waving at him. "Excuse me, Young Master Wangteng!"
This eunuch was naturally Xiaolin.
Lin didn't dare to let too many people see him, so he could only stand in the corner and wave at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng thought about it and walked over. He asked, "Is there something you need?"
Little Lin chuckled and said, "Young Master Wangteng, my master admires you very much. He would like to invite you to have a chat with him. Young master, you must do me a favor!"
"Your master?" Wang Teng's gaze swept across the viewing gallery and he immediately understood.
The only person who could order the palace eunuchs around was Concubine Hua!
After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Alright, where and when?"
"At this very moment, the Royal City Fragrant Sky Tower." Lin said a name and handed Wang Teng a plate.
The Fragrant Sky Tower was the biggest restaurant in the Imperial City, and the only people who could enter it were those who were either rich or wealthy.
The most important thing was that the Tian Xiang Restaurant had done their job well.
There was a rumor that even if the empress had an affair in the Fragrant Sky Tower, the emperor would not know about it.
The plate that Lin Lin passed to Wang Teng was the Heavenly Fragrant Pavilion's guest token.
Only with this can you enter the Fragrant Sky Tower. Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, you won't be able to enter the Fragrant Sky Tower.
Wang Teng had the guest order under his command, so he turned around and left.
Soon, he arrived at the Fragrant Sky Tower.
The Fragrant Sky Tower had an octagonal cornice, glazed gold tiles, and long green curtains. It was extremely luxurious.
Walking into the Fragrant Sky Tower, Wang Teng directly showed his guest badge.
As soon as he saw a male customer, he immediately saw an exceptionally enchanting beautiful waitress who wore revealing clothing come to serve Wang Teng.
"Sir, please follow me."
The waitress directly brought Wang Teng up to the second floor and sat down in a room near the lake that was filled with incense.
Not long after, a sound came from outside the door and a woman wearing a veil walked into the room.
Although her face was covered, so it was hard to see her face, but Wang Teng still knew that the person who had come was Concubine Hua!
"As the imperial concubine, Concubine Hua wants to see me in private. If the emperor finds out, then I, Wang Teng, will die for sure!"
Wang Teng squinted his eyes and picked up a cup of tea.
Concubine Hua sat across Wang Teng and smiled sweetly. "Haha, if the Emperor finds out, not only will you die, I will also die, so you don't have to worry."
Only then did Wang Teng put down his tea and said, "Then let's get straight to the point. Why is Concubine Hua looking for me?"
"You're swift and decisive. You were indeed pretending to be a popinjay in the past." Concubine Hua glanced at Wang Teng appreciatively, "I'm looking for you to save my life, don't let me down!"
Wang Teng immediately understood.
Concubine Hua also knew that she was in danger. Once Seventh Prince gained the upper hand, she would die without a doubt, so she wanted to get help.
However, even without Concubine Hua's invitation, Wang Teng would not let Seventh Prince have it easy on Three Dynasties of Martial Arts.
However, since Concubine Hua had come to him for help, it was understandable that she would take the opportunity to make a huge profit.
Thinking about this, Wang Teng couldn't help but chuckle. He said lightly, "Concubine Hua has found the wrong person. If you're in danger, it's best to look for the emperor. How can I save your life when I'm fighting against a commoner?"
Saying that, Wang Teng acted like he had no interest at all as he stood up and wanted to leave.
Concubine Hua was shocked. She didn't expect Wang Teng to leave so quickly. She quickly said, "Young Master Wang, please wait. We can discuss it slowly. The conditions will definitely satisfy you!"
