C230 There's someone behind you

"What's the use of keeping the two ladies here? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Ji gongzi." Xie Qingrong held the wine cup, and said with a smile that was not a smile.

Ji Rufeng placed his wine cup to the side and smiled, his handsome eyes seemed to be sparkling, "If that's the case, then I have offended Miss Xie."

Xuanyuan Chen looked at A Rong who was staring at him with a smile on his face, and was a little displeased in his heart, and frowned.

Ji Rufeng noticed the impatient expression on Xuanyuan Chen's face and laughed to himself. I am indeed overly concerned about Xie Qingrong, is Xuanyuan Chen jealous?

Coughing lightly, he told everyone present about the news he received a few days ago, especially Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong.

"I heard that King Jing was saved by a group of black-clothed men on the day of the execution. Emperor Xuanyuan was furious and sent people to investigate this matter, but they were unable to catch up to the traces left behind by the King Jing Lord and that group of people. I wonder if Prince Chen has received any news? "

Ji Rufeng squinted his eyes, but his eyes were fixated on Xuanyuan Chen, as though he was trying to see some other emotion from Xuanyuan Chen's face.

However, Xuanyuan Chen only raised an eyebrow, he knew that this was Ji Rufeng trying to test him, but he did not plan to turn the corner and directly test Ji Rufeng.

"I didn't expect Elder Ji to be so well-informed. Even back in the martial arts world, he was able to gain a thorough understanding of what was happening in the Heavenly Sage Kingdom's capital."

Ji Rufeng's finger lightly twirled and laughed. Naturally, he heard clearly the probing and faint ridiculing intent behind Xuanyuan Chen's words.

Smiling slightly, he said, "Prince Chen is too kind. It's just that I don't know what the next step of Prince Chen will be like, but is Prince Chen still going to continue chasing after the whereabouts of this Master of the King Jing? "

Xuanyuan Chen imitated what Xie Qingrong had said just now and said indifferently, "How is Xuanyuan Jing's whereabouts? This is not within Elder Ji's concern, we will take care of the Heavenly Saint's family matters."

Ji Rufeng laughed, he did not say a word, and the atmosphere at the table became a little tense and awkward.

Ji Rufeng poured all of the last remaining wine in the wine pot into Xuanyuan Chen's wine cup. He raised his own wine cup and clinked it with Xuanyuan Chen's, drinking it all in one gulp.

Finally, he asked the question that he wanted to ask the most, "I heard that Prince Chen has quite a few capable people and the richest man in the world, Shen Haoxuan, provides the Prince Chen with a lot of financial support, and Lin Mu, who possesses divine weapons and peerless medical skills, is the Prince Chen's other right-hand man."

"In the past, when Prince Chen was praised as the Divine King of War, it was all thanks to this General Lin. I heard that it was this General Lin who pulled you back from the brink of death and left you with a slim chance of survival on the battlefield."

"Now, General Lin has gone to the distant Mo Bei to stand guard with General Xie and defend against Wu Huan's sudden two hundred thousand strong army. However, I have something that I do not understand, and I hope that Your Highness can help me resolve this. "

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Chen retorted, as he spat out a single word.

Ji Rufeng lightly stroked the back of his wine cup and continued: "Prince Chen will definitely know about the military intelligence in my heart. At the very least, he wouldn't need Lin Mu as his trusted aide, but the Duke still sent Lin Mu out. Could Prince Chen please tell us a little? "

Ji Rufeng understood in his heart that Xuanyuan Chen would definitely not tell him the answer, but he still planned to take the risk and raise this question.

From the moment Lin Mu had headed towards the Mo Bei, he had been guessing what the real reason behind Xuanyuan Chen's actions was.

Sure enough, the people on the table were all staring at Xuanyuan Chen, and under the gazes of Shang Zhiqing, Qi Yun, Jun Changyou, Ji Rufeng and Shen Haoxuan.

Xuanyuan Chen continued to drink with a straight face. He was extremely displeased with the suppressed gazes that fell upon him, even though it was not on the surface, but from his wrinkled brows, one could tell that this man was displeased.

Although Xie Qingrong didn't know the reason behind Xuanyuan Chen's actions, she still chose to believe in him.

Xuanyuan Chen's cold eyes swept past all of them, his indifferent eyes flashed with a trace of undetectable flowing light, and he spoke indifferently: "This matter, has nothing to do with you."

Once he said that, Shen Haoxuan immediately retracted his gaze, and quietly observed the expressions of the other four people.

Indeed, it was as Ji Rufeng had expected. Xuanyuan Chen would definitely not tell them, and if Xuanyuan Chen really did tell them his goal, then there must be some sort of trick behind it.

Only, Ji Rufeng saw the doubt in Shang Zhiqing's eyes from the corner of her eyes, and he curled his lips without batting an eyelid. Since he had already achieved his goal, he wouldn't continue to pester her.

That's right, from the very beginning, his goal was to arouse Shang Zhiqing's suspicion and attention. Only by doing so could Shang Zhiqing understand how heavy the responsibilities she had on her shoulders were.

After the meal, everyone's thoughts varied and they all ate in a dull manner.

After everyone left their seats, only Shang Zhiqing and Xie Qingrong were still seated on the bench. Previously, Xie Qingrong had already indicated for Shang Zhiqing with her eyes, to stay after finishing the meal.

Xie Qingrong saw that Shang Zhiqing was obediently sitting on the bench, straightforwardly taking out an order badge from her pocket and throwing it in front of Shang Zhiqing.

This was also a token made of fine mahogany, with the word 'Min' carved on the back in a strong and forceful manner.

When Shang Zhiqing saw the order badge, her pupils suddenly shrank, the minute movement quickly disappeared, but Xie Qingrong still caught it.

Xie Qingrong stood up, crossed her arms, and looked at Shang Zhiqing condescendingly. She went straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you know?"

Shang Zhiqing suddenly shook her head, bit her lips and said: "I don't know."

Xie Qingrong stared at Shang Zhiqing for a long time, as though she was annoyed. Her tone was cold and she did not have her usual patience and gentleness: "Min City, Min Wentian, Token, Shang Huaiyue, Shang Zhiqing, Ji Rufeng. What connection do you have with each other? "

Shang Zhiqing clenched her teeth, struggling between saying and not saying anything, but in the end, she chose not to say it.

She had no choice but to hand over all of her options to Xie Qingrong. From the moment she was born, everything she enjoyed, was proof of the responsibilities she had to bear.

He shook his head helplessly. The struggle in his eyes could clearly be seen. However, there was a flash of pain as he said word by word, "Sister, I can't say."

Xie Qingrong nodded, and did not continue forcing her.

Her goal today was to test Shang Zhiqing, and she already knew the result of that test.

Although she had already guessed that Shang Zhiqing wouldn't tell her, she still held some anticipation in her heart. At this moment, when she heard the negative answer, Xie Qingrong was still a little disappointed and sad.

However, they all had their own respective owners.

She knew that there was definitely someone behind Shang Zhiqing.
