Chapter 135 I Will Do My Best to Kill Him
Chi Ming secretly found the clue in a narrow alley outside Jinxiu Palace. He was very curious about who would go to such great lengths to pass the clue to him and contact him.
Walking into the narrow alley, a tall figure appeared in front of him, who seemed to be a palace attendant. Unfortunately, the man was wearing a green robe and jade belt of a palace attendant, but he did not turn around to meet him, so Chi Ming did not see him clearly.
"I wonder why this chief steward asked Fuyuan to come here?"
Chi Ming saw that the man was tall and handsome, and he did not dare to neglect him. He stretched out his hand and bowed to him as a subordinate. When the man heard Chi Ming's address, he suddenly laughed, and his voice was a little shrill, but Chi Ming immediately confirmed the identity of the visitor.
"Hahaha, Fuyuan? General Chi has been in the palace for so long that he has even forgotten his identity as a descendant of a general family?"
Chi Ming clenched his fists upon hearing this, and was filled with anger. He really wanted to go over right now and kill this ungrateful old eunuch. However, he had indeed become less aggressive after entering the palace, so he smiled and said:
"Master Steward, you are joking. Those who come to the palace are all servants of the king. How can there be any descendants of generals?"
"Oh? If you are not from a military family, how could you have the terrifying aura that General Chi just had?"
"It was Fuyuan who just offended."
Chi Ming bowed again, showing great humility, and in the eyes of the other party, he was a man who could bend and stretch. He couldn't help but show admiration on his face.
"General Chi, there is no need to be so polite. Please rest assured, General Chi, I will not tell anyone about your dissatisfaction with the king. After all, except for Fulin, who doesn't have some resentment towards the current king when entering the palace to serve as a palace servant?"
Chi Ming snorted coldly when he heard this. You entered the palace voluntarily. What can you do if you don't enter the palace? Looking at the entire Ming Palace, he is the only one who was forced.
"Master General, be careful with your words. The king is wise and decisive, so of course there will be some omissions."
"Alas! Poor people like me can enjoy wealth and honor in this deep palace. It's a pity that such a talented person like the general has fallen to this point. It's sad and lamentable!"
When the steward heard Chi Ming agree with him, he naturally began to provoke Chi Ming, hoping to ignite his anger towards Ji Cheng and use him for his own purposes.
Chi Ming didn't say anything after hearing this. He had already guessed the purpose of the steward looking for him tonight. He clenched his fists in anger and released the anger in his body again without any scruples.
"General, calm down."
The butler felt the change in Chi Ming's aura and smiled evilly, but his tone was a little panicked, and he quickly turned around to apologize to Chi Ming. Chi Ming saw the man's face in the dim moonlight, and it was indeed the person he thought of.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Lu, the chief steward of the outer palace of Zhaoyang Palace. Fuyuan is honored."
"No, no, General Chi, you are embarrassing me."
The man quickly returned the greeting to Chi Ming, and his tone became particularly humble. Chi Ming smiled secretly in his heart, it seemed that this person was planning to communicate with him further.
"You are joking, Mr. Steward. Fuyuan cannot accept such a gift from the Steward."
"General Chi, you are too polite. I have always admired you, but it is a pity to see you fall to this state!"
Chi Ming saw that the other party touched his eyes, as if with tears. His veins also bulged, and he even punched the wall. His heart kept heaving, as if he couldn't calm down until he got rid of his anger.
"Ji Cheng, you are going too far. I didn't come to see my old friend, but he ordered someone to... I have a pity that my Chi family has only one heir, and I have made great contributions to his Ji family. He actually completely disregarded our childhood friendship and humiliated me like this!"
"General, calm down. General, be careful with your words."
The man stepped forward to persuade Chi Ming, but a gloating expression appeared on his face. So what if you are the son of a general? You still became a eunuch like them.
Chi Ming was feeling extremely aggrieved at this moment. He was trapped in the deep palace, unable to leave, but also unwilling to stay. He was really angry at Ji Cheng's cold-bloodedness, and also angry that Qi Ning refused to listen to him.
"General Chi, I believe that you will have a day to be proud of yourself."
"I am just a eunuch, how can I ever make a name for myself?"
"General Chi, don't worry. I came here today just to show you a clear path."
"Oh, you are joking, but as long as Ji Cheng is with Da Chong, I, Chi Ming, will always be a eunuch who is looked down upon by others."
Chi Ming shook his head, looking lonely and angry, and turned to leave. His back made people sad.
"General Chi, do you still remember respecting the prince?"
Chi Ming stopped and looked at the steward with a puzzled look. He remembered that this person seemed to be called Fulu. His suspicious and expectant eyes made Fulu feel relieved. He walked up to him carefully and whispered:
"General Chi, Prince Jing asked me to tell you that if you are willing to lend him a helping hand, he will restore your status as a general and make you a king."
"You mean that Prince Jing is planning to ascend to the throne?"
Chi Ming lowered his head and asked quietly. Fulu nodded secretly and made a gesture to keep quiet. After Chi Ming was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Fulu and nodded, saying:
"Please ask Eunuch Lu to tell Prince Jing that I, Chi Ming, do not want any royal title. As long as you kill him, I will do my best."
"General Chi, rest assured. I will definitely convey this message to you."
Fulu left with a smug look on his face, while Chi Ming looked at the figure with a secretive look on his face. It seemed that he had to think carefully about what to do next. The best way was to take Wen Ning away from this place of trouble. No matter what King Jing or King Ming was, as long as he didn't mess with him, it would be fine.
However, before leaving, he must make sure that Ji Cheng gets the punishment he deserves. Chi Ming is not a pushover.
At this moment, Ji Cheng was leading his men to Lingqiong in a hurry. He was very worried when he saw Yun Yiduo had not woken up, so he led his men through Dachong and headed straight to Lingqiong, which saved the group three or four days.
After arriving in Lingqiong, they took a short rest and then went to the capital city Xudu. They searched the entire Xudu but could not find any clues about Yun Feiyang and Cen Song. Instead, a group of people targeted them.
"It looks like we've been targeted by people from the Third Prince's Mansion."
Ji Cheng looked at the people lurking around the inn and had a bad feeling in his heart. What on earth made the Third Prince target them?
"Third Prince?"
Zhang Qiong also looked outside through the window. After confirming the location of the people, he stood up and went downstairs regardless of the persuasion. In a moment, all four of them were kicked into the room by him.
"Everyone is here, let me ask you?"
Zhang Qiong sat by the window in a carefree manner. Wu Tong looked down at those people, frowned, and sighed in his heart. This future brother-in-law really has no brains. Ji Cheng was obviously planning to order people to work, but he rushed to be a thug. Poor brother-in-law, I don't know if he will hand over his sister to this man in the future!
