Chapter 730 They are all smart people
Prince Rui stared into Wan Zhuo's eyes.
"How did you know that Xu Jin was going to attack Lin Feng?"
"I just heard about it."
"Don't spread rumors without evidence."
King Rui said sternly.
But Wan Zhuo was not afraid, he just said it calmly.
"It's just a rumor in the market, but it's not true."
Prince Rui was helpless and could only wave his sleeves.
"You should withdraw. It's best not to get involved in the affairs of the Royal Guards anymore."
Wan Zhuo bowed and said goodbye.
He didn't want to talk to King Rui any more and was anxious to go back and investigate the whereabouts of Zhao Mengfei and what had happened to the dark killer.
Lin Feng brought his men back to Kuncheng. He was not worried that Liu Shuxue would be in danger.
This woman is not simple. She has been working alone outside for many years and is still able to handle it with ease. Naturally, she has her own set of life-saving measures.
As soon as he returned to his command center, he immediately ordered Cheng Liang to conduct a surprise interrogation of Xu Jin.
Lin Feng wanted to know how many people in Kyoto City dared to attack him.
Xu Jin was well aware of his situation and did not resist.
He had only one request, which was to have a face-to-face meeting with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng arranged for Xu Jin to have a conversation alone in a cell.
Xu Jin was not locked up, and the two sat opposite each other.
They are all smart people, no need to say more.
Xu Jin pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Actually, I don't have any resentment or hatred towards you, my Lord Commander. It's just that... Concubine Du has a deep grudge against you."
Just these one sentence made Lin Feng understand many things.
"During the last martial arts competition at Shanglin Mansion, you wanted to fight, didn't you?"
"Your Excellency is indeed very wise. At that time, I was following the orders of the Imperial Concubine and was looking for an opportunity to strike."
Facing Lin Feng, Xu Jin no longer concealed anything and told him the whole story of the assassination.
After listening to this, Lin Feng analyzed the situation logically and felt that Xu Jin was not lying.
"Okay, tell Cheng Liang about the rest. The more thorough your explanation, the more likely you'll get leniency."
Lin Feng stood up and prepared to leave.
Xu Jin quickly said, "Commander-in-Chief, do you think I am still useful?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "It doesn't have much effect."
Xu Jin suddenly panicked.
"Sir, I can still fight on the battlefield. I am skilled in archery and horse riding, and I will definitely be a good hand at killing the enemy in battle."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "In my battle formation, personal bravery is no longer needed."
Xu Jin was stunned. If bravery was not required to fight in the battlefield, then what was required?
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Confess your crimes well, let me think about your role, and maybe there is still hope for survival."
After saying this, he turned around, walked out of the prison door, and left.
Xu Jin opened his mouth wide, staring at Lin Feng as he disappeared at the door of the cell, his mind going blank for a moment.
Can I still survive?
Now that he has fallen into Lin Feng's hands, who in the entire Dazong court can save him?
Would the emperor speak to Lin Feng for a guard?
I'm afraid King Rui will not offend Lin Feng for this.
Xu Jin fell into confusion, wondering whether what he had done was worth making an enemy of Lin Feng.
The conflict between Xu Jin and Lin Feng actually originated from Concubine Du. However, if something happened to Xu Jin, would Concubine Du help him?
I'm afraid Concubine Du will just try her best to distance herself from me.
Xu Jin was wrong about this.
When Concubine Du learned that Xu Jin was captured by Lin Feng, she immediately became anxious.
Concubine Du was the favorite concubine of Emperor Zhao Zhen. In the imperial palace, only Concubine Wan could be compared with her.
Even so, when she had a real relationship with Xu Jin, she was resistant at first, but as time went on, she gradually accepted this extremely exciting relationship.
Zhao Zhen doted on her, but there was almost no physical contact between them. Even if they slept together, Zhao Zhen no longer had any interest in this aspect.
For a young and beautiful woman, if she is left idle for a long time, no matter how loyal she is, she will not be able to withstand the torture of desire.
Therefore, Concubine Du and Xu Jin became more and more passionate, and their relationship progressed rapidly both physically and emotionally.
She has already regarded Xu Jin as her closest person, and his position in her heart has even surpassed Zhao Zhen.
At this time, Concubine Du pretended to watch the emperor painting seriously, while nervously thinking about how to rescue Xu Jin from Lin Feng.
Will the emperor speak for Xu Jin?
Concubine Wan, who was standing by, noticed her abnormality and looked absent-minded.
Although the two are competitors, they are also allies.
To carve out a path among so many concubines requires not only high IQ and EQ, but also firm and selfless allies.
This was the case with the two imperial concubines. They both understood that if the relationship between them was tainted with even the slightest bit of selfishness, it would be a lose-lose outcome for both parties.
While the emperor was concentrating on painting, Concubine Wan quietly tugged at Concubine Du's sleeve to remind her not to be distracted.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger. Even the slightest mistake can lead to eternal damnation.
Concubine Du came to her senses and smiled gratefully at Concubine Wan, with a hint of helplessness and a wry smile in her eyes.
Finally, it was time for the emperor to take a nap. The two imperial concubines served him. After settling Zhao Zhen down, he had some free time and went to the outer room.
Concubine Wan pulled Concubine Du's sleeve and stood in the corner.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Tears immediately welled up in Concubine Du's eyes. She grabbed Concubine Wan's arm and leaned close to her ear.
"Sister, Xu Jin was captured by Lin Feng."
The two of them could talk about anything. They both knew very well how to maintain such a relationship with the emperor. They had to give the other party some leverage so that they would suffer together and prosper together.
Concubine Wan was shocked: "Why did Lin Feng arrest Xu Jin?"
"Alas, he became the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion and teamed up with your brother Wan Zhuo and others. In order to avenge me, he wanted to take action against Lin Feng."
Concubine Wan frowned: "Sister, Lin Feng is not such an easy person to deal with."
"It's all my fault that Xu Jin was wronged. Last time, I let him find an opportunity to kill Lin Feng, but he was almost beaten to death. This time..."
As she spoke, Concubine Du's tears began to flow and she choked up and couldn't continue.
Concubine Wan quickly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"Sister, please take it back quickly. It will be bad if the emperor sees it."
"Yeah, thank you, sister."
Concubine Du tried hard to suppress her emotions and only calmed down after a while.
"Sister, do you think the emperor will speak up for Xu Jin?"
Concubine Wan smiled bitterly: "Sister, even if the emperor said so, will Lin Feng let Xu Jin go so easily?"
Concubine Du stared blankly at the mottled sunlight on the ground, speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, she grabbed Concubine Wan's hands with both hands.
"Sister, didn't you and Lin Feng have physical contact? Can you..."
Concubine Wan looked embarrassed.
"Sister, you're setting a trap for Lin Feng. Do you think Lin Feng can't see it?"
"But, considering my sister's beauty, Lin Feng will not ignore her."
Concubine Wan shook her head: "Who is Lin Feng? If he had cared more about his looks, he probably wouldn't have achieved such brilliant success."
