"This... "This road is mine, and this tree is mine! If you want to pass by, leave behind the money you need to buy the road!" The leader stuttered, the blade in his hand trembling.
Ye Feng sneered, with this kind of character, how could he become a bandit? He wasn't afraid of being laughed at. Today, he would be considered to have eliminated harm for the sake of the common people.
A figure quickly flashed past and arrived in front of those people within a breath's time. The bandit was obviously frightened and hurriedly brandished his blade back and forth. However, his hands and feet were messed up.
Ye Feng was also calm, but his attack was ruthless and tricky, obviously the other side had a lot of people, but he did not gain any advantage. Although General Shen's injuries were not yet fully healed, he could only watch from the carriage, but seeing that Ye Feng was so skilled, he relaxed.
Those people saw that they did not have any advantage at all, so they hastily made a hand gesture, and everyone began to retreat, leaving a few people behind to pester Ye Feng.
"Forget it..." "Cough, cough …" General Shen opened his mouth in the carriage, since he still had things to do, he would not delay his journey by too much.
The corners of Ye Feng's mouth curled up in a mocking smile as he looked at the remaining bandits' miserable appearances. He then used his sword to cut open the waist of one of the bandits.
"Let's go!" When the voice of the General Shen came through, Ye Feng did not pursue him anymore, he only looked at him indifferently, "Yes!"
Elsewhere, at the Liu Manor, in the Prime Minister Liu's study.
"Prime Minister, you are extremely knowledgeable and you worry about your country. You are truly a person who is a pillar of our nation. With you here, my Big Dipper will definitely flourish for a long time." Li Yuhang clasped his hands and said to the Prime Minister Liu with a face full of smiles.
"No, no, Vice Minister Li is too kind. I was just doing my job."
Hearing Vice Minister Li's praise of him, he was naturally happy, and the expression on his face also eased up quite a bit.
"No, no, the prime minister is too modest. If it weren't for you, who would be able to help His Majesty out? If it weren't for your assistance, how could the emperor have managed the country so well?" The Vice Minister Li continued to flatter the Prime Minister Liu, not stingy with his words at all.
The Prime Minister Liu hurriedly explained. As an official, he should not speak carelessly, "You must not speak carelessly with these words. His Majesty is a martial artist, and is extremely talented. "Everything is the same as when our emperor was wise." Although he said that, he still enjoyed hearing Vice Minister Li's words.
"Isn't this General Shen called the War God of our Liang Country? "But now, we have lost again and again, causing countless soldiers to be stained with blood. The people at the border have been displaced, how can they be compared to you, Prime Minister?"
Since General Shen had been defeated time and time again, and his whereabouts were unknown, it was likely that the powers in the imperial court would not be able to win against him, and the Prime Minister Liu would definitely monopolize the imperial court.
Li Yuhang's calculations were very shrewd, now that he had taken the initiative to get closer to the Prime Minister Liu, and completely destroy his power in the, the Prime Minister Liu would definitely place importance on him, increasing his position would be just around the corner.
"Even though you said that, the power of the General Shen in the imperial court cannot be underestimated." Towards Li Yuhang's flattery, Prime Minister Liu clearly understood that this was him trying to curry favor with Li Yuhang, but he did not hate him in the slightest.
However, the two of them had been opposing each other for many years, and they had always been evenly matched. Even though the whereabouts of General Shen was no longer clear, the power within the dynasty was still not to be underestimated. If Prime Minister Liu wanted to suppress this group of people, just based on his strength alone, it would not be easy.
And at this time, Li Yuhang took the initiative to express his goodwill, and was willing to suppress General Shen with his, so Prime Minister Liu naturally wished for nothing more.
"Don't worry Prime Minister, the two of us will work together, will there still be any chance of survival standing together with the people of General Shen?" Li Yuhang smiled craftily, he had already confirmed that the General Shen was already dead on the border.
Although Prime Minister Liu did not say it explicitly, he knew in his heart that the two people's most important matter was to first suppress the stumbling block, General Shen.
"Alright, let's work together." Prime Minister Liu's murky old eyes flickered with a sharp light.
Li Yuhang thought quickly, and thought of Liu Chugrong's body, "I heard that you, Prime Minister Liu, are the emperor's concubine in the sky, and he really likes it!"
"It's true!" "Yes," Prime Minister Liu replied, but his expression was anxious. Liu Xiugrong was demoted previously and her status in the palace was lower than Shen Qingwan's.
As the Assistant Minister, Li Yuhang knew a bit about the matters at the palace. However, he would definitely not mention such unpleasant things like Liu Chugrong being demoted to the Prime Minister Liu. After all, he still had to suppress the General Shen together with the Prime Minister Liu.
Li Yuhang revealed a flattering look and continued to speak: "Prime Minister, don't worry, since you yourself are like this, your daughter will naturally not be bad. Who doesn't know that your daughter is being pampered by the palace? I believe that it won't be long before the emperor ascends to the position of empress. "
"Thank you, Vice Minister Li, for your auspicious words." The smile on Prime Minister Liu's face became even wider, the wrinkles all over his face bunching together. Even in his dreams, he would only dream of his own daughter becoming Empress, and at that time, his position would definitely be even more stable.
As the two of them were chatting, there was a knock on the door, followed by a servant's voice saying: "Master, Ninth Prince is here. He said that he wants to see you, and is currently waiting in the hall."
The two of them looked at each other, they could see the confusion in each other's eyes, why did the Ninth Prince suddenly come to find them.
Although the two were puzzled, the person who came was, after all, the prince. They didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately went forward to receive him one after the other.
"Your Highness, we have come late, please forgive us!" Prime Minister Liu and Vice Minister Li both came before Fu Huaiyu and said respectfully.
"Where, where. This King had rushed here. How can we blame the prime minister?" Ninth Prince who was drinking tea in the main hall stood up and returned the greeting. When he stood up, he also saw the Vice Minister Li following behind the Prime Minister Liu.
A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly squinted, looked at him, but did not show too surprised expression. He was aware of Prime Minister Liu's ambition, and that's why he came to find him.
"I wonder why Ninth Prince is looking for me?" After the three of them sat down, Prime Minister Liu looked at Ninth Prince and asked.
"This king has come here this time to congratulate Prime Minister on finally suppressing General Shen." Ninth Prince smiled, a pair of peach blossom eyes that captivated the soul.
"Then, thank you for your good intentions, Prince!" As shrewd as he was, how could he not see that Ninth Prince's sudden visit to him must have been more than just to congratulate him?
