The battle came to an abrupt end before it even began.
Zhao Jing summoned Leng Huazhu, while Chen Zhong secretly lay in wait to search for Feng Talang's hiding place.
Lin Yong then shut off the gas in the warehouse and said helplessly:
"Officer Leng, please."
"Young master is in the basement."
Leng Huazhu nodded in agreement:
"good!"
She went to great lengths just to catch a glimpse of her true face.
……
Fuwei Warehouse, Basement Level 1
"Officer Leng, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"We have not been hospitable."
"Pre-rain Longjing tea, please!"
Zhao Jing lay back in the rocking chair and pointed to the tea on the table.
The teacup is filled to the brim; even a drop more would overflow.
This is how you treat strangers, even enemies.
If you don't drink tea, it means you're not cooperating, so I won't cooperate either.
This is the key to trust.
Leng Huazhu steadily raised her teacup and took a sip.
Non-toxic.
But there is the Dew of Shared Hearts.
The Heart-Shaped Dew is a wondrous elixir that is cut in half and dissolved in tea before being consumed.
After both parties drink it together, they cannot attack each other for half an hour, otherwise they will suffer a backlash.
This is a miraculous elixir, which Zhao Jing seized from Yuwen Zhe.
Zhao Jing also picked up his teacup and took a sip.
He also took the Heart-Connecting Dew.
Leng Huazhu put down his teacup and nodded:
"Good tea."
"You really aren't Yuwen Zhe."
Seeing that she was drinking tea, Zhao Jing's tone softened a bit.
"What if it is, and what if it isn't?"
Since Leng Huazhu has come alone to the meeting, there is no point in arguing.
It's better to strike first.
The worst outcome would be that she brings the Yuwen family to kill them.
This basement is perfect; let's use it as a burial place for them.
Now that Leng Huazhu is all alone, although troublesome, she is not difficult to deal with.
Play with her for a bit first.
Leng Huazhu replied in a deep voice:
"Your disguise skills are quite superb."
"No, it's more like possession."
"But Yuwen Zhe isn't that weak."
"He will threaten you with sword energy."
So that's where the error occurred.
Yuwen Zhe's injuries were too severe; even the elixir couldn't save that pile of rotten flesh.
The precious pills cannot be wasted.
He's only barely resembling a human being now, thanks to the Thousand Illusion Pearl; forget about having any innate strength.
Zhao Jing traveled in a sedan chair and reclining chair the entire way, all for this reason.
In the end, he was still seen through.
It's very difficult to impersonate someone.
Without sufficient intelligence, mistakes are always made.
Zhao Jing did not argue, but simply smiled:
"What are Officer Leng's plans?"
"Report to the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"
Leng Huazhu took a deep breath:
"Although your killing of Yuwen Zhe is illegal, it is unacceptable under the laws of another country, so I will not investigate you."
"But what exactly is the purpose of all of you, so many innate beings, coming to the capital?"
"The situation in Yujing is turbulent; you must be planning a big business deal."
Leng Huazhu's gaze was sharp and piercing.
It turned out to be the case.
Yuwen Zhe is a notorious collector.
The Six Doors had clues but no evidence, and were powerless to help.
He's dead. All Leng Huazhu will say is:
"Good riddance!"
Then he secretly rejoiced.
Honesty is not pedantry.
She doesn't protect scum.
But Zhao Jing and his group were too strong and too audacious.
If they dared to kill even Yuwen Zhe, what wouldn't they dare to do?
These desperados are more dangerous than grandmasters; they can tear a hole in the sky.
Leng Huazhu, as the world's number one female constable, possesses extraordinary intuition.
Zhao Jing changed his mind, clapped his hands and laughed:
"A great reputation truly reflects the worth of its people."
"But what will Officer Leng offer in exchange?"
Ask me, and I'll answer.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
At the very least, we need to make a deal.
Officer Leng answered seriously:
"You may choose not to speak."
"If you break the law and harm the innocent, I will do everything in my power to stop you."
Violating laws and regulations, harming innocent people?
Zhao Jing couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark:
"Her Highness has committed treason, what can Constable Leng do?"
"Do you think you can arrest Her Highness?"
"How ridiculous!"
Unexpectedly, Leng Huazhu nodded:
"Your Excellency is right."
"I can't do it, my abilities are limited."
"We must seek refuge with Her Highness the Princess in order to protect our family."
Leng Huazhu, filled with self-reproach, handed over her chips.
She was dissatisfied with the princess!
Here's a pledge of allegiance for you.
Zhao Jing understood.
Why is Leng Huazhu so persistent in her pursuit?
Because their beliefs collapsed.
She had a very close personal relationship with the eldest princess.
The eldest princess also recruited many extraordinary women from the martial arts world, bringing them under her command and entrusting them with important tasks.
Feng Zhile, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is a prime example.
The eldest princess bestowed upon her the Flying Phoenix Token, which was a sign of high hopes.
The problem is, a coup d'état occurred.
Just like the friendship between Cao Cao and Xun Yu.
Xun Yu tacitly agreed that Cao Cao should be like Huo Guang, not like Wang Mang.
As it turned out, Cao Cao actually intended to usurp the throne.
Longtime friends have now broken ties.
The eldest princess seized the throne in a coup, leaving Leng Huazhu's hopes dashed.
Even resorting to royal infighting can only offer a meager consolation.
She could only numb herself by working desperately.
The sooner the internal strife ends, the better for the country.
Until the fake Yuwen Zhe appeared, shattering her illusions.
As long as the Princess Alliance does not collapse, Yuwen Zhe will remain the de facto ruling class of the empire.
He was once a notorious playboy, yet he managed to escape justice.
Is there any point in being a constable?
Therefore, Leng Huazhu made a choice: to capture Yuwen Zhe and fight against Yuwen Yi.
The Han and the traitors cannot coexist.
In order to maintain her Daoist heart, she decided to personally enter the game.
I gambled.
Unexpectedly, their attempt to save themselves failed, and Zhao Jing's words hit the nail on the head, striking at their vitals.
With her Daoist heart shattered, she could only seek another answer.
Especially after Leng Huazhu discovered that Zhao Jing was impersonating someone, a thought popped into her head.
This person dared to kill Yuwen Zhe; perhaps that can provide an answer.
So she came.
If what I just said gets out, it will be a political death sentence.
After Zhao Jingming understood, he sincerely offered his advice:
"Things can never go exactly as one wishes, but one should strive to have a clear conscience."
"We misunderstood Officer Leng just now."
"As long as Officer Leng is willing to swear an oath, I can tell you the truth."
Leng Huazhu openly expressed his dissatisfaction in order to gain people's trust.
But not enough.
"no problem!"
"Let's begin."
As soon as Leng Huazhu responded, a Buddhist pagoda appeared.
Exquisite treasure!
He actually possesses such a treasure!
If his cultivation level were any higher, I would surely be dead.
Leng Huazhu was startled, but thankful that she hadn't forced her way in.
Both sides have reservations.
Zhao Jing is in Yujing, so we can't cause too much of a stir.
Du Jin is blocking the way and is hostile; the only option is to kill him.
If you can't kill them, then use them.
Leng Huazhu swore before the pagoda that he would never reveal the secret.
Martial artists who cultivate the Divine Court's secret treasures often make vows as firm as mountains.
As the saying goes, a word is as good as gold.
Seeing Leng Huazhu's cooperation, Zhao Jing answered sincerely:
"The escort agency belongs to His Highness the Prince of Min; they came to rescue someone."
The King of Min? To save lives?
Leng Huazhu stared intently at Zhao Jing, searching for a flaw.
But he appeared flawless.
Only sincerity.
Because Zhao Jing genuinely wanted to save people.
Fuwei Escort Agency originated in Minzhou, submitted to the Seven Seas Alliance, and the Seven Seas Alliance supported the King of Min.
In no time at all, it wouldn't be a lie to say that he was the King of Min.
Leng Huazhu wasn't so easily fooled and immediately questioned:
"Then do you know His Highness the King of Min's principles?"
Most people wouldn't remember these things.
"certainly!"
Zhao Jing couldn't help but laugh:
"The future of Dayong lies not in Yanyun, nor in the southern border, but in the endless sea."
"We will launch a northern expedition to Yunzhou and confront the Great Xuan directly."
"To expand into the southern frontier, we will have the Holy Temple Alliance."
"Only overseas, native monsters can be taken at will."
"Even if there are other countries overseas, they are not a cause for concern."
"This is the will of His Highness the King of Min, and we swear to follow him to the death and carry on the torch."
The King of Min was not powerful, but he was a prince who loved seafaring.
His base was mainly in Minzhou, relying on the support of the Seven Seas Alliance to own an ocean-going merchant fleet.
The King of Min strongly advised Emperor Hongjing to expand overseas.
Emperor Hongjing viewed the people overseas as abandoned people and did not respect the emperor's rule.
The fact that the imperial court did not send troops to suppress them is already a favor; there is no question of encouragement.
All of this stemmed from Emperor Hongjing's aversion to expansion.
Yanzhou had the Prince of Zhenbei, Liangzhou had the Grand Tutor, Xuanzhou had the Marquis of Xuanwu, and so on.
It can be said that the regional military governors were difficult to control, and if someone were to expand the territory further, they would achieve unparalleled feats.
Will the world still belong to the Zhao family?
Emperor Hongjing wasn't stupid, he was just wicked.
Zhao Jing did not have a completely negative feeling towards his uncles.
There are insects, and there are also capable people.
The King of Min was one of them.
Although he was a political enemy of the Crown Prince's palace, it was only a difference in political views.
Of course, the King of Min was not a good person either.
He was the mastermind behind the largest pirate group.
However, the King of Min possessed a pioneering spirit, which Zhao Jing greatly admired.
The two even discussed overseas trade together.
Leng Huazhu was also unlucky, as she happened to run into one of the princes that Zhao Jing knew best.
Playing the role of the King of Min is a piece of cake.
Even when she asked a series of tricky questions, Zhao Jing resolved them one by one.
Now Leng Huazhu had no choice but to believe it:
"So, how do you plan to rescue them?"
Zhao Jing replied:
"We plan to rescue the orphans of the royal family, send them overseas, and never return to Dayong."
Leng Huazhu keenly sensed that something was amiss:
"Except for the Crown Prince's residence, which has not yet fallen, all the imperial grandsons of the other princes have been executed."
"Where did this orphan of a royal family come from?"
Zhao Jing wasn't surprised.
In the past, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had a total of ten sons, all of whom died.
The eldest princess could not possibly be merciful.
These people didn't have a deep relationship with Zhao Jing, so there wasn't much of a reaction. They just smiled more warmly and remained silent.
Will they tell you this news?
Leng Huazhu realized he had spoken out of turn:
"I have spoken too much; I shall punish myself with a cup of wine."
She poured herself a full cup of tea as an apology.
"It's alright."
Zhao Jing smiled and took a sip of tea as well.
He almost believed it himself.
Even if Leng Huazhu leaks the information, the Princess's people will still investigate the offspring of the Prince of Min, which reduces the pressure on them.
Moreover, he kept implying to the other party that he was there to rescue people, not to cause trouble.
In order not to give Leng Huazhu enough time to think, Zhao Jing took the initiative to start a conversation:
"What I could say, I have already said."
"Officer Leng, will you stop us from rescuing them?"
If your answer is incorrect.
Then you'll die here.
Zhao Jing's spirit stone bombs were already desperately thirsty for more.
