Chapter 223 Three Reasons Duke Lufeng Nuqing's eyes were like burning flames, and he roared in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you would not leave the Fengxing District without my reply? Do you think I'm easy to fool?""I didn't fool you." Wu Jinqiang suddenly interrupted and said: "Oh, Your Excellency the Duke, you are so petty, aren't you? We have been waiting for you for so long and have been hungry for several days. That's why we have no other choice but to come to Shuizhen River to find something to eat." However, Duke Lufeng Nuqing did not let down his guard because of Wu Jinqiang's words. Seeing that the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Mo Yiyan immediately seized the opportunity and his voice rang out in the rain: "We can't just starve to death, so how do we proceed with our next plan?" The eyes of Duke Lufeng Nuqing flickered slightly because of Mo Yiyan's words, and he seemed to realize something at this moment. It turned to look at Qin Fu and said: "Really?" "Yes!" Duke Lufeng Nuqing was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing Qin Fu's words. Finally, it spoke again: "Have you ever seen Duke Yaoguang and his army in Shuizhen River?"
This question made everyone's heartstrings tighten at this moment, and they all stared at Qin Fu. However, facing the anxious and curious eyes of the crowd. Qin Fu, however, uttered a word slowly and in an unusually calm manner: "Have!" Not only did the people around him fall into shock at this word, but even the cunning Lufeng Nuqing could not help but have an elusive look of doubt on his face. It frowned slightly and spoke again: "Then how did you escape from the hands of the Duke Yaoguang? At this time, Wu Jinqiang, who was already very nervous, quickly interrupted: "In fact, we did not confront Duke Yaoguang directly..." But just as he began to explain, he was interrupted by the cold voice of Lufeng Nuqing: "I didn't ask you, boy." Luofeng Nuqing spoke again slowly: "Don't think I don't know what secret conversations you had with Yaoguang·焫胬. It may be clumsy, but I, Lufeng·怒卿, am not stupid." These words were like an icy blade, piercing the hearts of everyone present. Mo Yiyan and Xu Wenting couldn't help but frown. At this moment, Wu Jinqiang seemed to be strangled by an invisible force. He instinctively wanted to refute, and opened his mouth to say: “We didn’t tell it anything…” However, before he could finish his words, he felt Qin Fu's deep and calm gaze. Under this gaze, Wu Jinqiang could only shut up in disappointment at all his attempts to make excuses. Lufeng Nuqing was dismissive of Wu Jinqiang's reaction and its attention was always focused on Qin Fu. It opened its mouth again and asked Qin Fu:
"What I really want to know is, how did you escape from Yaoguang·焫胁? Tell me." However, in front of the angry Duke Lufeng·Nuqing. Qin Fu lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly with extraordinary calmness: "Have you ever imagined such a scenario - after the city king is annihilated by our joint efforts, who will be your biggest competitor on this chessboard where power and desire are intertwined?" This sentence instantly attracted everyone's attention, and also made Lufeng Nuqing's brows, which were furrowed with anger, relax slightly. He began to think seriously about Qin Fu's problem. After a moment of silence, Lufeng Nuqing signaled Qin Fu to continue: "Go on." Seeing this, Qin Fu secretly calculated in his heart and continued: "Our target is not just the City King. The real key is how to skillfully draw Duke Yaoguang·Xuanqiu into our war and make him a helper in our fight against the human race. Once he gets involved, no matter what the reason, he will be charged with treason." After listening to this, Lufeng Nuqing stared at Qin Fu with a deep gaze, weighing the feasibility of this plan, or perhaps evaluating Qin Fu as a person. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of its mouth. Then he hummed softly. "Well?" I noticed that there seemed to be a subtle wavering in the state of mind of Duke Nuqing of Lufeng. Qin Fu continued in a sincere yet tempting tone: "Please listen to my three reasons! First, once Yaoguang Xuan is accused of treason, he will completely lose the qualification to compete with you for the throne of the city king. Imagine, how can a person who is charged with treason gain a foothold in this game of power? This undoubtedly clears the biggest obstacle for us. "Secondly, through clever planning, we can quietly transfer all suspicions of treason for cooperating with you to Yaoguang · 焫胬's head. In this way, you can not only maintain your own innocence, but also stand up in the name of justice at the critical moment to expose the true face of Yaoguang · 焫胬 and win the throne. "The last and most crucial point is that Yaoguang·焫胬 will be cleverly used by us without knowing it, and will become an indispensable force in the fight against the City King. Its powerful strength will be the sharpest sword in our hands, helping us to fight against the City King more effectively, and may even achieve our goal without causing too much trouble. Such a layout will undoubtedly be a hundred benefits to you without any harm." Qin Fu's words, like a gentle spring breeze, seeped into the heart of Lu Feng Nu Qing bit by bit. After hearing Qin Fu's clear and interlocking words. A complicated look flashed across the eyes of Lufeng Nuqing. It was silent for a moment, as if weighing every detail, and then slowly spoke: "Since you have such a detailed plan, why didn't you tell me directly at the beginning?" Mo Yiyan saw the opportunity and stood up. His voice was firm and clear: "My Lord Duke, please allow me to explain. At the beginning, we were not sure whether you were willing to cooperate with us. After all, in this vortex of power struggle, every step is full of unknowns and risks. However, during this period of time, you did not pursue us, which made us feel that you were willing to cooperate. It was based on such observation and judgment that we decided to quickly take the next step after encountering Yaoguang·焫胬." After hearing Mo Yiyan's reasonable explanation, the doubts on Duke Lufeng Nuqing's face gradually dissipated like morning mist. It looked at Qin Fu deeply. Afterwards, everyone sat together and began to discuss enthusiastically the specific strategies on how to attack the city king. After intensive discussions, a detailed and thorough plan gradually emerged. Duke Lufeng Nuqing nodded with satisfaction.
