Chapter 731: True Love
Chapter 731: True Love
Both women are outstanding and extremely intelligent. Being favored by the emperor for such a long time is a very severe test of their IQ and EQ.
Concubine Du lowered her head in disappointment.
"Will Lin Feng kill Xu Jin?"
Concubine Wan glanced at her and didn't dare to speak.
With Lin Feng's methods, he will never show mercy to anyone who dares to plot against him.
Not hearing Concubine Wan's answer, Concubine Du became nervous.
"Sister, Xu Jin has become my relative. How can I save his life?"
Her brain was in a mess.
Concubine Wan had no way to answer this question, so she could only hold her hand tightly and silently give her some comfort.
"Sister, I want to go to Lin Feng and exchange myself for Xu Jin."
Concubine Wan looked at her in surprise.
"Sister, has it come to this?"
Concubine Du nodded shyly.
"Without Xu Jin, I feel so empty and uncomfortable inside. I can't stay here for even a moment."
Concubine Wan said seriously: "Sister, this is very dangerous. With our status, we cannot be sincere to anyone or anything."
"I know, but...I can't suppress it..."
Concubine Du's tears flowed again.
"Alas, sister, you will harm us by doing this."
As Concubine Wan spoke, she glanced around nervously, fearing that someone would notice something was wrong with them.
"If Lin Feng lets Xu Jin go, I swear I will no longer bear grudges about the past and will be willing to sacrifice everything I have."
Concubine Wan sighed.
"Alas, sister, what do we have but this skin, which is still something that others disdain."
Concubine Du was stunned for a while, then gritted her teeth.
"Sister, I have to go to Kuncheng. I can't stay here any longer."
Concubine Wan was horrified.
"Sister, please think twice. You have to think about your family."
Concubine Du's face turned pale and she clutched her chest tightly.
"Sister, I feel so empty inside, I...I can't..."
Concubine Wan looked at her with pity, and suddenly felt powerless.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they are above everyone else, the symbol of wealth and glory, extremely noble and glorious.
However, in the eyes of some people, they are still playthings, objects, tools...not human beings.
Concubine Wan knew that if Concubine Du left, the emperor would look for a new candidate once he had time.
When a new person comes to the emperor's side, she will not be like Concubine Du, who is as close to him as a sister, and a life-and-death struggle will inevitably arise.
"Sister, please be patient and wait for me to think of a solution."
Concubine Du hugged her gratefully.
"Sister, if you can rescue Xu Jin, I will obey you. I swear..."
Concubine Wan covered her mouth with her hands.
"Sister, I know what you mean. You and I will serve the emperor well."
Concubine Du knew that Concubine Wan's power was much greater than hers, so she nodded obediently and forced a smile.
At the beginning of the Wei hour, Zhao Zhen woke up from his nap, and the two concubines hurried to help him wash up.
Zhu Qisheng brought the tea to the emperor and bowed to pass it forward.
Zhao Zhen took the teacup from the tea tray, took a sip, and savored the taste with a frown.
Zhu Qisheng then played softly.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Xu Jin was captured by Lin Feng and is imprisoned in Kuncheng Prison."
Zhao Zhen was stunned and looked up at Zhu Qisheng.
"When did this happen?"
"Your Majesty, it happened last night."
"Anything to say?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Rui is investigating."
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Go ask Prince Rui what happened."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Qisheng casually handed the tea tray to Concubine Wan and bowed and retreated.
When he was about to leave the palace, Zhao Zhen changed his words.
"Go to Kuncheng and ask Lin Feng what's going on."
Zhu Qisheng agreed and walked out of the hall without stopping.
Lin Feng had long put these trivial matters behind him.
Now he was standing in a courtyard under martial law, looking at two hundred neatly armed soldiers standing in the middle of the yard.
Each of them held a shotgun in front of their eyes, aiming at a row of targets in front of them.
Lin Feng walked around in front of them, checking whether everyone's movements were standard.
Because bullets are expensive, they can only be used for shooting action training at present. Live-fire exercises require the production of more products.
However, even so, the 200 soldiers in front of him gave Lin Feng great confidence.
There is a feeling of looking down on the world.
In this era, what army can stop such an armed force?
He constantly corrected the soldiers' gun-raising and aiming movements, and patiently explained the essentials of shooting.
Although the soldiers' physiques were carefully selected, their arms still began to tremble after two quarters of an hour.
Pei Qiyin stood in the shade under the eaves, looking at these men, who were sweating profusely and standing motionless with their guns in their hands like wooden sculptures.
She was very confused. How could she fight on the battlefield like this?
She was not the only one who had this idea. Several other staff officers and the guards around Lin Feng also had this idea.
Even these soldiers holding guns did not quite understand what Lin Feng's intention was.
Lin Feng didn't care what others thought, he just wanted to carry out his standard movements, just like the previous team marching in step.
Everyone thinks that although this way of walking looks good, it is of no use.
However, this is what Lin Feng asked for, so the commander's requirements must be met. As an executor, I don't need to know why.
Because this kind of ideological thing needs to be slowly experienced in practice to truly understand its meaning.
This seemingly static movement is even more tiring than asking them to practice swordplay on the playground. It is not only physically tiring, but also tests one's willpower.
Xie Zhong followed behind Lin Feng, watching carefully and learning every explanation and every request of Lin Feng.
He will be the leader of this team and must thoroughly understand all of Lin Feng's intentions from the inside out.
While they were busy, the soldiers guarding the gate came running in.
"Report, Commander, Zhao Shuo requests an audience."
Lin Feng stopped preaching, turned around and signaled Xie Zhong to continue training.
He came to the living room in the front yard and asked someone to call Zhao Shuo in.
Zhao Shuo is no longer able to come and go as he pleases around Lin Feng as before. This feeling of alienation makes him feel very anxious.
He knew it was because of his father, Prince Rui, and had nothing to do with him, but this feeling of drifting apart was extremely painful.
"Brother, I..."
Lin Feng waved his hand, motioning him to sit down and talk.
"It's because of Xu Jin."
Zhao Shuo didn't dare to sit down, but just stood aside, rubbing his hands, feeling very awkward.
King Rui asked him to come and inquire about the situation, and he had to come. He also knew that he had interfered in many of Lin Feng's affairs that he shouldn't have been involved in.
"Brother, my father said that Xu Jin is the commander of the Imperial Guard and the Emperor's chief guard. If he hasn't done anything too wrong, I hope you can..."
Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's true that he didn't do anything wrong. He just wanted to join forces with others to kill me."
