The night wind blows.
He brushed Ling Lai's hair.
She was born very beautiful, and her cheeks were rosy now. She looks like a really bright and charming woman. If she hadn't been disabled since she was young, she would definitely be at the top of the Tokyo socialite circle today.
Xiao Zheng was standing behind her, unable to see her beautiful face under the moonlight. But the elegant fragrance from Ling Lai's body drifted into her nose with the breeze. The fragrance is refreshing when you breathe.
He walked forward slowly, pushing the wheelchair to Ling Lai's mansion. But with a faint smile on his face, he said: "Your Highness, who do you think I should believe?"
"Huh?" Ling Lai, who was immersed in the moonlight, came back to consciousness slightly and said with an elegant expression. "Who are you comparing Mr. Xiao to?"
"Everyone." Xiao Zheng said frankly.
"Mr. Xiao should know who to believe." Ling Lai said with a smile. "Besides, who Mr. Xiao wants to believe is beyond my control. It also depends on Mr. Xiao's wishes."
"Actually, I'm not interested in getting involved in this turmoil." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips slightly and said slowly. "But looking at it now, it seems like I can't escape."
Ling Lai's face was slightly condensed. After a moment of silence, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiao Zheng with gentle eyes: "If Mr. Xiao finds it troublesome, I really don't want to do anything. After Mr. Xiao has finished what he wants to do, I’ll take you out of Tokyo.”
"Doesn't this make me look very unloyal?" Xiao Zheng said with a dumb smile.
"Mr. Xiao is Chinese, and we are Japanese. From Mr. Xiao's perspective, or from a historical perspective, you have the right to curse all of us to a bad death." Ling Lai said very frankly. "After all, our ancestors have hurt you. And as a royal family, the sin is even deeper."
Xiao Zheng chuckled and shook his head: "I will hate your country in my heart. But I have no reason to hate you, or even curse you to a bad death."
Ling Lai smiled slightly and said softly: "Mr. Xiao is a good man."
"A good person?" Xiao Zheng said with a grin. "Your Highness, your evaluation is too high for me. You are suspected of flattering me."
Ling Lai smiled gracefully and said, "Then how will Mr. Xiao choose? No matter what you choose, I will support you and will help you deal with the aftermath."
"Didn't I already choose?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Assist the eldest brother?" A look of relief flashed across Ling Lai's eyes.
To reach this point would have met the expectations tonight.
"Assist Tianxiong?" Xiao Zheng chuckled and shook his head. "He does seem kinder and more polite than Prince Miyamoto. But in his eyes, I see a more vicious look than Prince Miyamoto. If I had refused just now, he would have turned his back on the spot and even wanted to keep me. At the palace. I wouldn’t be surprised at all.”
Ling Lai listened to Xiao Zheng's words and sighed softly: "Mr. Xiao, your eyes are really shocking."
"His Royal Highness reminded me." Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled.
"Me?" Ling Lai smiled. "Have I ever reminded Boss Xiao?"
"The moment you expressed your stance." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I was thinking at that time that even His Highness the Prince would not dare to offend the Crown Prince. How could I, a mere businessman, be so bold?"
Ling Lai pursed her lips and chuckled: "I really can't hide anything from Boss Xiao."
After a brief pause, she continued: "Boss Xiao, I will try my best to get the greatest support for you. I believe that the eldest brother will not let go at this time."
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng smiled.
"The one who should say thank you is the eldest brother." Ling Lai said slowly.
Xiao Zheng shrugged and said: "No matter what, I can get the greatest help. And for this, I still need to thank you."
Ling Lai smiled slightly and said nothing.
…
After the two left, Tianxiong returned to the study alone. There was a young man in his early thirties waiting for him.
"How is it?" Tianxiong asked calmly before sitting down.
"He has passed." The young man said calmly.
The man wears a smart suit. Slightly tight fit. The eyebrows are filled with sharp color. But in front of Tianxiong, he hid it very well. Not revealed.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years, how much do you still know about him?" Tianxiong sat down slowly and asked very calmly.
"Not much." The handsome young man shook his head and said. "But the only thing that remains unchanged is that he is the only strong man in Japan who possesses the arcane art of nin in the past thirty years."
"You don't know how?" Tianxiong raised his eyes and glanced at the handsome young man.
This person is the most powerful person in the palace. He is also the last disciple of that arcane master, and even the most proud disciple.
After so many years, doesn't he still have the arcane magic? He is recognized as the most powerful person in the palace!
Asada Zoichi shook his head with a calm look: "No."
Tianxiong pursed his lips slightly, finally shook his head and said, "Whether it is possible or not is not that important."
After a brief pause, Tianxiong continued to ask: "Based on your estimate, how confident is Xiao Zheng?"
"I don't know." Asada continued to shake his head. "But as far as I know, he never lost to anyone in vain. Not even Thoros's hand of God could kill him."
Tianxiong looked coldly and said: "Are all the powerful men in China?"
There was quite a bit of unwillingness in his words.
"At least China has the most." Asada said calmly.
"It's not important anymore." Tianxiong said calmly. "After this incident, Tianxiong's morale will definitely plummet. Those losers will also start to waver."
"At that time, he will definitely take the initiative to attack." Asada said bluntly with a stunned look. "That's when you're most in danger."
"I'm not afraid of him coming. I'm just afraid he won't come." Tianxiong's eyes darkened and he said disdainfully. "Want to compete with me for the throne? If his name is not justified, why should he?"
Asada nodded and said, "But if you get rid of him, your road will be smoother."
Tianxiong smiled slightly: "He won't live long."
As soon as Asada heard this, he suddenly changed the topic and asked hesitantly: "Where is Miss Ling Lai?"
"A cripple?" Tianxiong's lips curled up with a hint of mockery. "She still has the right to be at my feet. Once I officially ascend the throne, she won't even have the chance to be a lapdog!"
"After all, there is a Hyakuchi Mitsui beside her." Asada said calmly.
"Why should I take action myself?" Tianxiong said with cold eyes. "She cooked and killed her mother with her own hands. As long as I expose this matter and make it public, she will be reviled by thousands of people! She will die without a burial place!"
"It seems that she really doesn't even have a chance to be a pug." Asada said with a pursed lips. "The Second Emperor's uncle wanted to see you a few days ago. It seems that he wants to surrender."
"What a waste. Go and get rid of him." Tianxiong said in a deep voice. "Everything is currently being prepared for ascending the throne. Prioritize and don't waste your energy on worthless people."
"yes."
As soon as Asada finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Very weird.
