Chapter 239: A Man More Cunning Than a Fox
Chapter 239: A Man More Cunning Than a Fox
With Cen Song's reckless words, Ji Cheng certainly could not do whatever he wanted to Yun Yido anymore. He turned around reluctantly to take a shower, cursing Cen Song again in his heart.
Outside the palace wall, Ji Yuan frowned at the calm Cen Song. This guy rushed in without saying a word and actually disrupted the king's wedding night.
Was he trying to verify whether his title of Undying Redcoat was worthy of it? The king's anger did not reach him, but it made the royal guards who were drinking suffer.
He looked at the people from the Temple of Killing God who also had question marks on their faces and were in a bad mood, and raised his eyebrows. They understood and attacked Cen Song without saying a word.
"No way, what are you doing? You guys are so familiar with each other, do you still want to fight?"
No one said anything. This man had delayed their drinking and made them perform official duties late at night. They were unhappy about this and decided to beat him up first.
A moment later, the people who were beaten to the ground gnashed their teeth as they looked at the man whose smile was more cunning than a fox. This man had no martial ethics. He was beating people while throwing poison at them. He must have learned this skill from their little queen.
However, their little queen used poison because she was not good enough in martial arts and could not defeat the opponent. He could obviously defeat the opponent but still used poison, which was really unethical.
"You don't follow martial ethics!"
A member of the Temple of Killing pointed at Cen Song and cursed him, but Cen Song looked at him and smiled:
"Only a fool like Zhang Qiong would talk about martial virtues. Even your king Ji Cheng doesn't have that. If you are not as skilled as others, just admit defeat. Don't we have wine? I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Cen Song walked in front of Ji Yuan with a swagger, and Ji Yuan gritted his teeth but could only follow behind him obediently. This man, like Yun Feiyang, was also a royal uncle of considerable importance. If he angered him, the little queen would be unhappy, and the king would definitely blame him.
In the barracks of the Imperial Guards, the banquets were of the same standard as those in the palace. Many of the Imperial Guards were already slightly tipsy, saying dirty words to each other. Seeing this, Cen Song did not hesitate to find an empty space to sit down and started drinking with Ji Yuan.
"Ji Cheng must not want to see me today. Do you have a comfortable place to stay?"
Ji Yuan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this. "Don't you know why the king doesn't welcome you? You're not polite enough to find a place to stay. I'm glad they didn't kick you out."
"The barracks, or the quarters where the ministers wait to attend court?"
"Okay, just for one night."
Cen Song didn't pick a place. It didn't matter where he lived anyway. But he was worried that Ji Cheng couldn't control himself, so he was thinking about whether he should live on the roof of the bridal chamber.
"Probably not!"
Cen Song took a sip of wine and muttered to himself, but then he thought that his sister's appearance was a sign of crime. If Ji Cheng could still tolerate this, he probably really cared about Yang'er and Duoduo.
"If you really hold back, it's really admirable."
Ji Yuan ignored Cen Song's chatter and silently served wine. In Chaoyang Palace, Ji Cheng had already taken a shower and was looking at Yun Yiduo with a resentful face, not daring to move forward.
"Why, you didn't even look at me because you knew we couldn't have the wedding night?"
Yun Yiduo laughed at Ji Cheng's resentful expression. She probably guessed the purpose of her brother asking her sister-in-law to bring a message.
Lingxi's situation is still unclear. They need to discuss whether they should take the things down first and then have the bridal chamber, or have the bridal chamber first and then take the things down.
"My brother will be here tomorrow, don't worry."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Ji Cheng's words were not what he meant, which made Yun Yiduo laugh out loud. She also knew that he had been wronged by this matter, so she waved at him and said:
"Don't you want to see the hidden weapon I had that day? I'll show it to you."
Speaking of hidden weapons, Ji Cheng immediately became interested, walked over with some curiosity, and sat down beside the bed. Yun Yiduo handed the small musket to Ji Cheng and taught him how to use it.
After studying the small musket for a while, it was already very late. Ji Cheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, looked at his little queen with resentment, and finally hardened his heart and left the bridal chamber which was filled with red.
Sitting alone in the Qinzheng Palace, Ji Cheng had no desire to sleep. The deep night was particularly dark, and his heart was as dark and terrifying as the night.
When Fulin hurried back, he saw Ji Cheng sitting in front of the dragon table with a gloomy face. The low pressure made him feel suffocated. A group of palace maids and servants were waiting far away outside the palace.
Fulin shook his head, feeling sorry for the king. But the words of the uncle were too important, and they dared not say anything more. He didn't even want to say anything to persuade the king.
"Your Majesty, go to bed early!"
Fulin did not mention the wedding today, and went to serve Ji Cheng to rest. Ji Cheng sighed, tacitly agreed with Fulin, and was served to bed.
Before closing his eyes, he secretly made up his mind that tomorrow, he must have a good wedding night with the little queen, and he would not sleep in the Qinzheng Palace again, not to mention his brother-in-law, even if the emperor came.
Finally, dawn arrived with many people's expectations. Cen Song, who had not slept well, left the Ming Palace early. After Ji Yuan knew about it, he did not ask too many questions and went about his own business as usual.
Because he was full of resentment, Ji Cheng did not sleep well and woke up early. He opened his eyes listlessly, hoping that there would be an early court today to distract him. However, because he got married yesterday, there was no early court today.
After he got up, he called Tonglu to discuss matters, and also paid attention to the trivial matters of various places, finally making himself busy. Just when he thought it was about time and the little queen should wake up, Fulin brought a piece of news that was not big or small.
Xu Qingming, who had hidden in the dark, sent the news that King Jing's whereabouts had been found. Now, King Jing was hiding from place to place, but he kept causing trouble. Ji Cheng was just trying to find him and deal with him properly, but he was extremely cunning and escaped several times.
"Qingming found the person but didn't dare to act rashly, because there are many martial arts masters around King Jing, who are difficult to deal with."
"Humph, he wanted to assassinate the princess and me, but he failed many times. I'm afraid he has no patience left. It just so happens that my two brothers-in-law will be here today, why not take them to capture Prince Jing and have some fun with him."
Fulin and Tong Lu looked at each other and secretly smacked their lips in surprise. This king is getting more and more shameless, and he even captured Prince Jing to play with? Isn't it because he saw that the two princes-in-law have special skills and are good fighters, so he wants to take advantage of them?
Perhaps Fulin shook his head too much, and Ji Cheng noticed it. He immediately became anxious when he saw Fulin's expression.
"Why, do you think I'm being unfair?"
Fulin quickly shook his head, changed his expression to one of admiration and said:
"Your Majesty, what you said is very important. The two uncles-in-law are highly skilled in martial arts and will definitely help Your Majesty."
Ji Cheng curled his lips, his two brothers-in-law might not be good at anything else, but they were both good at fighting, one was the Immortal Red Clothes, famous for his reckless fighting style, the other was the Ghost-Faced Yama, a persistent and stubborn young man, no matter how big the martial arts sects were, they had to be careful when dealing with him.
