Although Lord Jing's hand was still gently touching the Buddha's heart, that slight loss of composure had gradually subsided.
"What do you want?"
He went straight to the point without any reservations.
Because this is his territory, there are no hidden dangers and we can talk openly.
"I want all the demons to disappear! I want... the head of the Demon King Lan Yuhe!"
When mentioning the Demon King Blue Feather Crane, Lulu's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches.
That...man who killed Old Tang, she wants Lan Yuhe to pay the price, even if it costs her everything in her life!
"Demon Capital? Demon King? I've always heard that the Jue Clan cannot stand the existence of any demons in the world. I thought it was just an exaggeration from the outside world, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Lord Jing slowly withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "However, I have lived for so many years. Although I don't have any other skills, I still have the ability to judge people. I think... you want to destroy the demon city, I'm afraid it's not because of official business, but because of personal feelings."
“This has nothing to do with you!”
"Hahaha! I'm just concerned about future allies. To be honest, the matter of the Demon Capital and the existence of the Demon King are also quite troubled for our court. You may not know that a few months ago, our court sent a large army south to attack the demons in the Demon Capital, but the result was..."
Lady Jing didn't say anything else.
Although public opinion and discussion were suppressed, at that time, the incident was basically known without reservation among the senior officials and well-informed people in the capital.
The most puzzling thing is the current emperor's thoughts. He neither made a statement nor investigated the matter. An army and a general died, but there was no follow-up.
The monster later lived well in that barren land.
No one investigated the reasons, and no one dared to conduct any investigation in this regard. Even the problem of the Demon Capital was once regarded as a hot potato in the court, and no one dared to mention it in the court.
It was as if the matter of that piece of land had ended, and that piece of land had belonged to the Demon King Lan Yuhe. The imperial court would not pursue the matter and turned a blind eye.
This matter is so strange that it makes people feel a little creepy when they think about it carefully.
Of course, the people in the court did not think that the Great Xia Dynasty could not destroy a demon city. It was just heard that the place where the lost Second Prince had been was a border area.
His Majesty might not want to send out troops to attack again because the Second Prince might be in that area, or there might be some hidden secrets involved, so there was no follow-up.
But now, the Second Prince, who had been living abroad, has returned to the imperial city! Naturally, these concerns have disappeared, and it is not impossible for His Majesty to send troops to destroy the Demon Capital again.
"I know about that incident."
Lulu sneered.
"There are too many useless people in the imperial court. They all think they are superior to others and look down on places outside the capital. They don't know themselves at all. What kind of general is this? He dares to rush into the demon capital with just a few people. He is simply courting death!"
Although there was sarcasm in Lulu's tone, when she got the news that time, she was actually impulsive. She took the people from Jue Men and cooperated with the army from the capital to attack the Demon City.
Who would have thought that the army would suddenly and mysteriously disappear in Thunder City, and then there came news of Jaguars appearing in the Demon City.
However, even though this army from the capital died in a rather ugly way and had no chance of winning, Lulu understood.
It’s not that the capital city cannot get rid of the Demon City, but that the capital city has not sent out real masters!
"If, this time, it is the master behind Master Jing who takes action, I think the mere Demon King Lan Yuhe will not be a match for that master!"
Lulu bowed and said respectfully.
But when Lord Jing heard Lulu mention the adult behind him, his face turned blue and purple, looking very ugly.
Emotionally, he was clearly quite restrained, but he couldn't help but let his tone become a little rough.
"People from the sect just don't have any rules! If you are so unreliable, if you were to go to the court, I'm afraid Miss Lulu would offend so many people!"
To say I'm offended is an understatement.
Under the pressure from Lord Jing, a person who is so impatient and so straightforward will probably not survive more than three days in the game of court.
After all, there are so many people in the capital who are stronger than this girl.
"I am from Juemen, why should I follow the rules of the capital! If I hadn't ordered my men to constantly kill the demons in the capital, how could you have found me so quickly and established a connection with me? Everything has its pros and cons. Our rules are more efficient than yours!"
"Miss Lulu, what are you doing? Everyone has their own way of doing things. It's not about right or wrong, it's not about efficiency, it's all about suitability..."
"Shut up! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you old guys! Tell the people behind you, if you want Buddha's heart, then cooperate with me, destroy the demon capital together, and kill the demon king Lan Yuhe. Otherwise, this thing will never appear in front of you again!"
After saying that, Lulu reached out to take back the Buddha's heart, but was quickly stopped by Lord Jing.
"Wait! Miss Lulu, don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! Let's take our time and talk slowly. Even if that gentleman is really willing to cooperate, he still has to sit down and discuss the specific plan. There's no need to be impatient. By the way, Miss Lulu, I have one more thing I want to ask you. This thing...besides showing it to me, who else did you show it to?"
Lulu smiled.
She pushed away Lord Jing's hand and took back the Buddha's heart, she said.
"Master Jing wants to ask, which prince have I given to you, have you ever seen the Buddha's heart?"
“…”
Lord Jing smiled and said nothing.
He can pick up on some of the words.
There are some words he can't accept.
This is the self-preservation technique of the capital city. It may not be of much use to the people in the sects.
"Don't worry. What I want... is the strongest eldest prince! I look down on the other princes, and I don't think that those guys who just eat and wait for death and live a life of luxury in the capital can have the strength and courage to destroy the Demon Capital and kill the Demon King!"
"However... the Second Prince who suddenly returned, the one with the most rumors and the most mysterious existence in the capital, is indeed the second option to consider."
"If he does, he might be able to kill Lan Yuhe! If the First Prince is not interested in this cooperation, I will turn around and look for the Second Prince. But... I think the First Prince would not want to see such a result, right?"
There was a hint of concern in Lulu's last sentence, which made Lady Jing's smile stiffen slightly. She twitched the corners of her mouth twice and said with a forced smile.
"Miss Lulu is indeed a man of discernment! Who is the most powerful person in the world besides the emperor? Of course, it must be the eldest prince! The eldest prince's strength, status, and reputation completely overwhelm the other princes. Although he has not yet obtained the title of crown prince, his status, ability, and reputation make no difference whether he has this title or not. The whole capital... no! The whole world recognizes it! The eldest prince is the crown prince designated by the emperor! He is the future successor to the emperor!"
"Under such circumstances, it is unwise for Miss Lulu to still consider the Second Prince, or the man who disappeared and came back pitifully with his tail wagging. "
Lulu sneered when she heard this.
"Lord Jing is so eloquent that I almost offered my loyalty to him right then and there. But... I heard that the current emperor has not appointed a crown prince, and has reserved it for the second prince. As long as the second prince does not return, the crown prince position will be vacant. And now that the second prince has returned to the palace, maybe the emperor will announce the selection of the crown prince soon."
"Although the eldest prince has been fighting timidly, making military exploits, slaying demons, and eliminating evildoers during the years since the second prince disappeared, he has made countless contributions and created countless reputations, and even has a very high reputation among the people and has many supporters. But these, no matter what, cannot compare to the emperor's preference and selfishness. After all, this position may be left for the second prince..."
Lord Jing's expression was already quite ugly, his face twitched, and he suddenly interrupted with a loud shout.
"You farted!"
Lulu naturally stopped talking and looked at Lord Jing coldly.
"What I say is not important. What is important is what everyone thinks, what the outsiders and even His Majesty think. I am just a man of the world. I think Lord Jing knows more about the current situation and the current situation than I do about whether the eldest prince can successfully obtain the position of crown prince."
“…”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lord Jing fell silent, his eyes had turned cold, and he had lost his disguise, giving off a somewhat gloomy look.
But Lulu continued to talk to herself.
"The eldest prince is very anxious. He doesn't take any other princes seriously because those younger brothers may be slightly better than him in some aspects, but overall, in terms of comprehensive level, they are far inferior to the eldest prince. Only... the second prince is different!"
"I've heard that long before the Second Prince left the capital and disappeared, the Second Prince had always been superior to the First Prince, making it impossible for the First Prince to make a comeback and always being ranked second. It was not until the Second Prince disappeared that the First Prince began to show his talents and was recognized and affirmed by the rest of the people in the capital."
"There are even rumors that everything the eldest prince has now is actually what the second prince didn't want, and it's considered alms to him! The eldest prince is eating the second prince's leftovers..."
Bang!!
Master Jing slammed the table.
"Shut up!!!"
Seeing that Lord Jing was very emotional, Lulu took a compassionate look, took two steps back, and made a gesture to shut up.
Lord Jing also realized that he had lost his composure. He calmed down and said in a cold voice.
"...Miss Lulu, there are some things you can know but cannot say out loud. If you say it out loud, the situation will be irreversible."
He stared at Lulu coldly, but the latter showed no intention of backing down and continued to confront him.
"The methods of the sect are far more powerful than you think. It's useless to threaten me. You just need to send a message to the eldest prince and ask him if he is willing to cooperate. This matter is very important to me. But it is equally important to him! While the emperor has not yet made a decision and the second prince has just returned to the capital and has not yet started, hurry up and do something and achieve something."
Lulu's explicit and implicit hints are already very clear.
Lord Jing, you naturally know what to do.
"Give me a few days. After I report to the Grand Prince, I will inform you of the results."
Lulu was about to agree, but suddenly realized something: "...Do you know how to find me?"
"snort!"
Lord Jing sneered.
"You underestimate the imperial court. Miss Lulu, please remember that it is your status as a member of a special family that qualifies you to stand before me and negotiate fairly, not because of yourself!"
Lulu frowned and snorted coldly as well.
"It'd better be quick. I might not be able to resist extending an olive branch to the Second Prince. As far as I know, the Second Prince should be as powerful as the First Prince and is equally capable of... killing the Demon King Lan Yuhe!"
After saying that, Lulu's figure disappeared with a whoosh.
"Humph! It is indeed the phantom of an instrument. But even if it is a phantom, that outline and that touch cannot be mistaken... It is the true Buddha's heart! What the eldest prince has always longed for is really delivered to his doorstep, but unfortunately, the timing is so unfortunate, it happened when the second prince returned to the capital..."
Lord Jing closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then quickly made a decision. He opened the mechanism in the room and took out the jade piece for communication from the secret cabinet.
Write a few words on it, the words are quickly absorbed, and after a while, words appear on it.
"Can."
Agreed?
Did you agree to it so hastily?
Lord Jing was stunned.
This is not like the Crown Prince's usual style.
Could it be that he really knew some news, or that the Second Prince put too much pressure on him after returning to the capital, causing the First Prince to become a little impatient for success?
No matter what, let's arrange a meeting between the woman from a unique family and the eldest prince first.
Although the eldest prince agreed to the request of the woman from an extraordinary family, he had no plan on how to destroy the Demon City or kill the Demon King Lan Yuhe. It could only be said that they had reached a cooperation agreement on strategic goals for the time being.
"First, get the Buddha's Heart here, so that the eldest prince can become even stronger. Then we can discuss how to resolve the issue of the Demon Capital."
This is what Lord Jing thinks. In his opinion, a person from a mere Juemen clan has no right to ask Lord Crown Prince to destroy the demon capital first and then give him the Buddha's heart. This order cannot be reversed.
Moreover, the eldest prince's powerful enemy has returned to the capital, and it is time for the eldest prince to become stronger to fight against him. He should first get the benefits, and even gain the favor of the emperor, and suppress the second prince. After his position is consolidated, it will not be too late to lead the troops south and destroy the Demon City.
While Lady Jing was thinking about this possibility, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Lord Jing frowned slightly, turned off the mechanism, restored the room to its original appearance, and looked back outside the door.
Boom boom boom!
There were three knocks on the door, and it was the most urgent notice.
"What's the matter?" Lord Jing asked.
"Report! Master! An urgent order has come from the court, asking you to return quickly. It's said, it's said - the envoy from the Demon Capital has come to visit unexpectedly!"
"What do you want?"
He went straight to the point without any reservations.
Because this is his territory, there are no hidden dangers and we can talk openly.
"I want all the demons to disappear! I want... the head of the Demon King Lan Yuhe!"
