Chapter 449: Using the Opponent’s Trick

Outside the room.

Li Beifeng pushed open the door and walked out.

"Mr. Li?"

Li Beifeng looked back and found that Li Xinyi just walked out of the room next to him.

"How are you?"

Li Beifeng asked.

"No, it's okay..."

Li Xinyi shook her head and whispered: "Aunt scolded me..."

Last night, she was called back to the room by her aunt and scolded.

She secretly ran to the capital. With Li Suyi's protection, she didn't have to worry too much about her safety, but this kind of behavior was definitely not okay.

Therefore, Li Wushuang only scolded her a little.

Li Beifeng nodded, which was almost what he expected. The Taoist nun was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. In order to protect Li Xinyi, she did so many things, how could she bear to hit her.

"Li, Mr. Li, what's wrong with your hand?"

At this moment, Li Xinyi saw Li Beifeng's palm and found something wrong.

"It's okay..."

Li Beifeng waved his hand and hid the slightly swollen hand.

"Are you going out now?"

Li Beifeng saw Li Xinyi's appearance at this time and changed the subject.

"Yes!"

Li Xinyi then remembered her purpose: "I have an appointment with a friend to meet today."

"Friend?"

Li Beifeng frowned slightly: "What friend? Where did your friend come from?"

She just came to Beijing yesterday, where did she get her friend from in Beijing?

"I just met her yesterday..."

Li Xinyi told Li Beifeng what happened yesterday: "Thanks to that girl, otherwise I would have been cheated yesterday..."

"I made an appointment with her and met her today. Oh, no, it's too late, I'm leaving first!"

Li Xinyi waved his hand, turned around and went downstairs.

Li Beifeng was left standing there, frowning slightly. He was a little worried. A friend he met in Beijing, a very beautiful rich girl?

Why does it sound a little mysterious?

Li Beifeng didn't think too much, but he was worried that Li Xinyi would be cheated when he first came to Beijing?

You can only know a person's face but not his heart. If something goes wrong, it will be bad.

So, Li Beifeng waved his hand: "Come here."

Soon, two female disciples of Ruyi Tower who were guarding outside the inn came over.

"Follow Xinyi, observe and protect her secretly. If anything happens, protect her and leave at any time."

"Yes!"

"..."

After arranging the people, Li Beifeng glanced at the room behind him, and then looked down at his swollen hands.

Miserable!

This woman was too cruel and didn't know the severity of the situation.

Li Beifeng still had a hard time dealing with Li Suyi who was angry and embarrassed.

However, today was not completely fruitless.

Not only did he shock her arrogant temperament, but he even taught her a lesson...

Although his hands were swollen, but...

It was worth it!

Putting away his mind, Li Beifeng turned and went downstairs. As soon as he walked out of the inn, a carriage stopped outside the door of the inn.

Outside the carriage, a servant who looked like a family servant appeared in front of Li Beifeng and bowed, saying, "Mr. Li, His Highness ordered me to take you back to the mansion for a gathering."

Li Beifeng understood, nodded slightly, and got on the carriage.

...

Prince's Mansion.

Li Beifeng got off the carriage and walked to the outside of the courtyard under the guidance of the servants.

"Mr. Li, please?"

Li Beifeng nodded and stepped into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the familiar courtyard, he saw a familiar figure.

"Mr. Li, how are you?"

Under the eaves not far away, stood a familiar figure.

It was He Jing.

At this moment, He Jing's eyes fell on Li Beifeng, with a half-smile on his face, and a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes.

Li Beifeng frowned slightly, he felt that the way this person looked at him was not right.

It was hard to describe the feeling, but he just felt that the kindness on this guy's face looked so... hypocritical.

Li Beifeng had a new thought in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. He, we meet again!"

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

After a round of greetings, Li Beifeng asked: "Where is His Highness?"

"Mr. Li, please take a seat first, and His Highness will be here soon."

He Jing explained.

He sat down on the side, glanced at Li Beifeng again, and said with a smile: "I really envy Mr. Li!"

"Envy me?"

He Jing nodded, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "I envy Mr. Li's freedom, boldness...carefulness, and such courage at such a young age, and can do things that are unexpected, amazing and shocking, which really makes me admire him."

Li Beifeng looked at He Jing in front of him calmly.

This man spoke obediently.

Although he smiled kindly, this smile looked hypocritical.

And his words, at first glance, seemed to be praising Li Beifeng. But after a careful taste, I always felt that this guy seemed to be sarcastic.

Is there something wrong with him?

Li Beifeng glanced at him and said lightly: "In fact, I envy Mr. He."

"Oh?"

He Jing was slightly startled and smiled: "What do you envy about me, Mr. Li?"

"I envy Mr. He's treatment!"

Li Beifeng sighed: "Mr. He is obviously talented, but he relies on his face to make a living. It is really enviable to be the right-hand man of His Highness. There are not many people in this world who can live in His Highness's house. Mr. He is the only one who is loved by His Highness!"

He Jing's face changed, turning green and red.

Why didn't he hear the sarcasm in Li Beifeng's tone?

Could his words be mocking him for eating soft food?

The food is still His Highness's soft rice?

This was simply a shame and humiliation, and anger suddenly surged in his heart.

However, when he saw Li Beifeng's smiling expression, he suppressed his inner efforts and squeezed out a smile again: "Young Master Li is joking, I'm just doing something for His Highness. If Young Master Li wants to, I will also be loved by His Highness.”

"I'd better forget it!"

Li Beifeng shook his head and sighed: "I don't have the talents and abilities of you, a great talent, so I can't eat this bowl of rice!"

"..."

He Jing became angry, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed, and then quickly disappeared.

He suppressed his inner anger and sneered in his heart.

Let’s see how long you can stay proud!

Your death is coming!

If you dare to seduce the Crown Princess and cuckold His Highness, how can His Highness tolerate you?

When His Highness's important matters are decided, you will be the first to deal with it.

…

Just as the two were confronting each other and the atmosphere gradually became dull, there was a sound of footsteps not far away.

"Brother Li is already here?"

A hearty laughter came from under the eaves in the distance, and then, Zhao Jing's figure appeared in sight.

He strode forward and walked up to the two of them.

Li Beifeng and He Jing stood up: "Your Highness!"

"Sit, sit, sit, sit down!"

Zhao Jing waved his hand and asked the two of them to sit down. He also ordered the maid on the side to prepare the food and drinks. Then he looked at Li Beifeng with a smile: "Brother Li, it's been a long time!"

"You suddenly left without saying goodbye this time. Did I think you were going back again?"

Li Beifeng chuckled lightly: "Back to Your Highness, I left the capital to do some small things and wasted some time. As soon as I come back, I will come to see Your Highness."

"Haha, that's it!"

Zhao Jing nodded: "Gu was not at home yesterday, so Brother Li was free. This is Gu's fault. Gu will have to punish himself with a drink later..."

Zhao Jing's hearty and enthusiastic laughter diluted the previously dull atmosphere.

Li Beifeng calmly looked at Zhao Jing with a smile on his face. He couldn't tell whether the prince of Dazhao in front of him had a sincere smile or a hypocritical smile.

However, it doesn’t seem to matter?

"I don't know yet, where did Brother Li go this time?"

Zhao Jing suddenly asked again seemingly casually.

Li Beifeng chuckled: "I went to Beizhou."

When he left the capital that day, Zhao Jing's spies must have noticed him, and he would definitely not be able to hide it.

Therefore, I simply admitted it.

"Beizhou?"

A glint flashed in Zhao Jing's eyes: "Brother Li, why are you going to Beizhou?"

"I went to Beizhou to find an old friend, and I accidentally lost some time..."

"I see!"

Zhao Jing squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Beifeng again, and suddenly said: "Since Brother Li has gone to Beizhou, he should also know the current situation in Beizhou, right?"

Hearing Zhao Jing mention this, Li Beifeng was slightly startled: "What does this mean, Your Highness?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing suddenly sighed: "Nowadays, Beizhou is becoming more and more chaotic. As the prince of Dazhao alone, naturally he cannot sit idly by and ignore it. Beizhou is also the people of Dazhao. Now the people of Beizhou are in dire straits. I can't sleep alone at night..."

"Dazhao has been a country for hundreds of years and has been prospering. But now, we have fallen into this situation. I am lonely and worried, thinking day and night, trying to change the present. But..."

"You can't change it with the power of one person!"

Having said this, Zhao Jing's eyes fell on Li Beifeng: "Since Brother Li has been to Beizhou, then Brother Li also knows what Beizhou looks like now, right?"

Li Beifeng was silent for a moment.

“The people are in dire straits, it’s a tragedy in the world!”

"Yes, the people are in dire straits..."

There was a hint of coldness in Zhao Jing's eyes: "Dazhao seems to be prosperous, but secretly it is full of acne... Although Zhongzhou, Nanzhou and Jiangnan are prosperous, the local officials are corrupt, collude with the wealthy gentry, and deceive the superiors and subordinates... In my Jokhang court, it is even more unbearable..."

"I really want to change all this, but I can't do anything..."

Zhao Jing's tone was very serious, and his face was filled with pain.

Li Beifeng said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Your Highness is so concerned about the country and the people, which is a blessing to the people of Dazhao."

"Blessed?"

Zhao Jing shook his head: "You may not be able to see it alone!"

"I can only do my best to change this world and change everything, but..."

Zhao Jing said, his eyes falling on Li Beifeng.

Seeing Zhao Jing staring at him, Li Beifeng's heart tightened slightly.

The one who comes is not good.

"But if you want to change all this, you can't just rely on the power of one person. You also need the help of talents like Brother Li, so that we can create a prosperous country together with you."

"Therefore, Gu still wants to ask Brother Li if he is willing to change the world together with Gu?"

Win over!

Still win over!

Li Beifeng frowned slightly, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

Why did Zhao Jing start to win over him again?

Why at this time?

More importantly, Li Beifeng noticed that Zhao Jing's tone and expression were a little different from before. I couldn't tell what the difference was, but I vaguely noticed that Zhao Jing's attitude was a bit firm.

Like doing... multiple choice questions?

On the other side, He Jing's expression changed slightly when he heard that His Highness wanted to win over Li Beifeng.

This was something he didn't expect. His Highness actually wanted to win over Li Beifeng?

this……

A trace of jealousy flashed in He Jing's eyes.

What are the advantages of this person that can win over His Highness so much? He, he has put it on His Highness...

He Jing was anxious.

Li Beifeng looked at Zhao Jing calmly and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint His Highness!"

Zhao Jing's eyes narrowed: "Brother Li, are you still unwilling?"

Li Beifeng nodded: "My ambition is not in the court, so please don't force yourself into trouble."

In the past, Li Beifeng might have had a little hesitation, but now, he has no hesitation at all.

He had already joined the rebel brigade and even became the leader of the rebel gang. The road has become narrow and there is no turning back.

"well……"

Zhao Jing sighed, disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Since Brother Li is still unwilling, I won't force him anymore!"

Zhao Jing raised his glass: "Although Brother Li and Gu Zhi are different, Gu Renran still regards Brother Li as a friend. Here's a toast to you!"

Li Beifeng also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

He Jing on the side heard Li Beifeng's rejection and breathed a sigh of relief.

He rejected His Highness, which meant that he could not be his own person. Then, he is dead!

He was seeking death on his own, blocking his last way to survive. No one could blame him.

…

After three rounds of drinking, the three of them looked a little more drunk.

The chat content of these people ranged from struggles in the court to past events in the world, from disputes in the world to interesting stories among the people, and they even talked about how many concubines the officials of the dynasty kept...

"I heard that there is a manor outside the capital with beautiful scenery, comparable to a royal compound. More importantly, I heard that there are countless beautiful women there..."

While drunk, Li Beifeng seemed to mention such a place accidentally.

Immediately, the eyes of the other two people, Zhao Jing and He Jing, lit up slightly.

"There is such a wonderful thing?"

“You have to go and see this!”

Li Beifeng chuckled and said, "Since it's better to choose a day than to hit it, and I happen to have time in the next two days, why don't we go over there and have a look?"

"Great idea!"

Zhao Jing said with a smile: "Since Brother Li invited me, I will certainly appreciate it!"

"Then it's settled?"

"It's a deal!"

"..."

After the banquet, Li Beifeng was so drunk that he stood up and left first.

Walking out of the Prince's Mansion, Li Beifeng, who was still drunk at first, suddenly seemed to have changed. His eyes were deep and there was no hint of drunkenness in them.

He glanced back at the towering Prince's Mansion and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

With this move of his, Zhao Jing will definitely come.

…

in the hall.

After Li Beifeng left, the two people who were originally drunk also woke up.

"Your Highness..."

He Jing stood aside and frowned slightly: "Are we really going to go to the appointment? My subordinates feel that there may be some fraud involved!"

"I know!"

Zhao Jing said calmly.

"Then your highness, you..."

"He knows it too!"

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhao Jing's face.

"This is a trap he set for Gu, but..."

"How can it be different?"

He Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his face lit up: "Your Highness, do you mean to use the trick?"

"Brother Li, he still can't be used by Gu!"

Zhao Jing sighed, his eyes calm.

"Then, don't blame me!"

"..."

"bite!"

There seemed to be a sound of something falling nearby.

He Jing suddenly turned around and said sternly: "Who?!"

"..."
