C668 Insult of Humiliation
It was a silent battle, but the hidden killing intent in it was even more soul-stirring than a thousand miles of blood on the battlefield.
After seeing his brothers, Zhang Jingxuan only felt warm in his heart, but he was also slightly worried for them.
The current situation in Shengjing was far more terrifying and complicated than he had imagined. All kinds of powers were intertwined with one another. It was like a mess, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. Even if one wanted to cut the mess quickly, it actually made people feel that no one had this kind of ability.
Unwittingly, Zhang Jingxuan also felt a trace of worry for Fu Lin, who was in the palace. After all, in a sense, he could be considered his friend. And at the most critical moment, it was him who saved his life. If what he said was true, there were a few groups of people coveting him from the side. It was very likely that he might not have lost his life either. But if he fell into the hands of Chung Suizhu, Tang Shaoshao, and Soaring Snake, he would not have a good ending. Even if he thought about it, Zhang Jingxuan could not help but shiver.
If the Imperial Palace was no longer a safe place, then what kind of place would be safe in this world? And the sad part about being an Emperor was that the world was huge. In fact, you don't have the right to roam around, because the burden on you already makes it hard for you to breathe. Besides, if an emperor leaves the center of power for a long time, there will be unimaginable dangers. Fu Lin had once mocked others, but now, he was getting closer and closer to the bird in the cage that he was talking about. At least, it was impossible for him to escape now.
However, Zhang Jingxuan didn't want to see Fu Lin at this moment. He felt that there was no need for that, and he didn't want to give him more trouble. Anyway, there was a suitable voice transmission between them.
Muyan Wenying and Murong Lingyun, the two little girls, heard that Zhang Jingxuan had come and quickly ran out to see him. However, the two girls' faces were not good. Muyan Wenying, who was angry, punched him on the shoulder as soon as she saw him. It made him grin. Actually, it did not hurt when it hurt, but it was necessary to put on a show for the girls. Sure enough, Muyan Wenying was still satisfied with her fist. Her mood also improved a lot.
"Hey kid, what's wrong with you? You got us both drunk, what exactly is your intention?"
Zhang Jingxuan naturally had an aggrieved expression on his face.
"How could there be such a thing!? I'll drink all of you! Stop joking! I can't even stop you! Later on, you forced me to drink until I couldn't take it anymore. It was so easy for me to use the urine escape technique to not get drunk by you. You still have the nerve to say that I..."
" How could there be such a thing!? I am such a refined person, how could I possibly drink your wine! Little Ling Yun, tell me, is it because he has ulterior motives and came to wrongly accuse me?!"
"Yes, it's all his fault! But speaking of which, my headache has gone too far. I seem to vaguely remember that you did grab someone's collar to drink. It can't be that I was also drunk by you, right? "Murong Lingyun blinked her big eyes and rubbed her temples as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Ah! How is that possible? You little girl, you are indeed a big extrovert. You are helping an outsider so quickly! Look, I will not give you a few more drinks and let you speak the truth after drinking. "
After saying a few words, the two girls began to fight among themselves.
Zhang Jingxuan held back his laughter and hurriedly said, "Look, look, she admitted that she was the one who made you drunk. However, Muyan's alcohol tolerance was really good. A few big men were not a match for her. Each and every one of them was drunk by her. "
Muyan Wenying originally wanted to get angry, but after hearing the second half of his sentence, her anger immediately turned to joy. She was a little shy and had a skeptical look on her face.
"You are not a tiger. But am I that powerful? I didn't even know about it before... "
Zhang Jingxuan knew that the two of them were drunk and sent back by him. They must have been reprimanded. That was why he vented his anger on him. And for the sake of convenience, he allowed the two girls who were not deeply involved in the affairs of the world to get drunk. He also felt somewhat apologetic in his heart. He hurriedly changed the topic.
"Amazing! Extremely amazing. Not only you, even Little Ling Yun is as strong as a man. Come to think of it, there were so many things happening outside and inside the Heavenly Palace. We shouldn't have drank so much in such a short period of time. Later on, you have to help me and Consort Zhuang to apologize. "
"Hmph, you also know! The two of us have helped you speak quite a bit of good things. It is not that the Ladyship did not come to denounce you!" Muyan Wenying still had some lingering anger that had yet to dissipate.
"Haha! Bragging! When I was scolded, I was also present. Why didn't I hear you say something? Consort Zhuang was indeed very angry and could be said to be somewhat anxious. No matter what, Eleventh Brother was also Brother Jiu's closest brother. Now, he was almost killed in the Palace. Even his braids had been cut off. This was simply the greatest humiliation of Qing! And now, everyone was in danger. A few of the big shots were furious. We even caused such a thing! No matter what, it couldn't be justified. Sigh, that's why we should scold him! I was just as confused as you guys..."
Zhang Jingxuan secretly apologized in his heart. It was not up to you guys to not be confused. It was because I added a little" seasoning "in those chives. Of course, he did not dare to admit it.
"Actually, it's all my fault. I was the one who led you out. When something happens, it should naturally be my fault. In the end, you guys got scolded for me. It really makes me feel bad. I'll definitely find something fun to compensate you guys later. "
" Hmph! Who cares? Forget it, forget it. We won't be letting you guys out of the Palace after this. Sigh, there are still many places that we haven't explored yet. What a pity. I say, Brother Xuan, when will this case be solved? Oh right, her Ladyship asked you to pay more attention to the movements in the Palace. Let others worry about the matters outside."
Zhang Jingxuan knew that the ruler of the Qing Court had also realized the seriousness of the matter. They began to pay more attention to the safety of their higher ups. As for the lives of the others... They could only put it aside for now. However, if that was the case, Zhang Jingxuan's freedom would be restricted. That would make him unhappy.
"No problem! I am also worried about Fu Lin's safety. Please report to her Ladyship that I will be going out to investigate during the day in the future. At night, I will return to the nearest place to protect Fu Lin's safety. No matter how bold the thief is, he wouldn't dare to do anything in broad daylight. "
The two girls nodded. The situation in front of them had exceeded their ability to control, so they were more or less at a loss.
"Also, the two of you must also be careful. I will also secretly protect the two of you and Consort Zhuang. It would be best if the two of them did not fall behind. If there is nothing else, you can also go to Si Shuiliu's place and join her. Three stinky craftsmen are the best, Zhuge Liang."
