Chapter 279 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 54
Moreover, now a new King Jingyu has suddenly appeared, and this person is destined to become the ruler of this land.
He himself was about to go to guard Kunlun, and he no longer had the energy to protect his disciples.
It would be better to listen to King Jingyu's words, give King Jingyu some face, and leave some goodwill for him. In the future, some of it will fall on the disciples.
He hoped that if these children got into trouble in the future, Xiao Ruojin would let them off the hook out of respect for him.
Master, Master!
He is both a teacher and a father.
As a master and his disciples, he always made sure to plan everything for them before leaving.
……
Li Changsheng, who had held the title of the world's number one for decades, has suddenly changed hands today.
King Jingyu has become the new number one in the world.
Once they realized this, everyone was stunned again and remained speechless for a long time.
Of all the people present, only Baili Luochen's expression grew increasingly grim. He stared at his grandson inside the carriage, lost in thought.
"Bai Li Luo Chen?" Xiao Ruo Jin called out softly.
Although his voice wasn't loud, the entire room fell silent the moment he spoke, everyone listening intently to what he was about to say.
"You know why I've come. I hope to resolve this peacefully and don't want to see rivers of blood and corpses strewn across the fields, but—"
"If you continue to persist, I will not hesitate to take drastic measures."
The gentle voice, though soft, felt like the death knell in one's heart; no one dared to take those words lightly.
Especially after Xiao Ruojin defeated Li Changsheng.
"Your Highness," Baili Luochen said with a wry smile.
Li Changsheng thought he could at least intimidate Xiao Ruojin, but instead of intimidating her, he was intimidated by Xiao Ruojin and ran away.
Hey!
It's all about timing and fate!
If he were still young, without sons or grandsons, with no ties to him, and all alone, he would never bow his head to anything that did not go his way, even if it meant death.
But in reality, he has a son, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson, which gives him a weakness.
He was not afraid of death, but he could not bear to watch his children and grandchildren die.
We must not implicate everyone in the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion, nor his hundreds of thousands of Pofeng Army soldiers.
Oh well, never mind!
Before choosing to come to Beijing, weren't you already mentally prepared?
Baili Luochen thought to himself, but he still felt a little unwilling.
He could have negotiated properly with King Jingyu and extracted even greater benefits from it.
Unexpectedly, in just one encounter, the grandson was caught red-handed, leading to the current situation.
He had the confidence to face anyone in this world, even Emperor Tai'an.
However, he couldn't face Xiao Ruojin with complete confidence.
In this world, there is force, power, scheming, and tactics.
Mastering one of these qualities is enough to establish oneself in this complex world; possessing two allows one to navigate the turbulent society with ease and proceed with caution; possessing all three enables one to achieve great success and be admired by others.
Xiao Ruojin, however, possesses all four of these qualities.
In addition, his status, temperament, and cultivation made him almost a person without weaknesses.
What's even more terrifying is that he's not afraid of death.
If a person is not even afraid of death, then there is nothing in this world that can stump him.
"Your Highness, may I speak with you in private?" Baili Luochen asked respectfully, bowing his head.
Xiao Ruojin nodded, and then really only took one step forward.
But this small step caused everyone around to turn away and cover their ears, afraid of hearing something they shouldn't have heard.
Only Xiao Ruofeng did not avoid the topic, but listened attentively throughout.
because--
Xiao Ruojin only takes on jobs; he's the one who actually does the work.
However, Xiao Ruofeng did not think of himself as a workhorse at all. On the contrary, he was pleased to think that his brother truly trusted him and could tell him anything.
Xiao Ruofeng: Happy!
Xiao Ruojin and Baili Luochen's conversation didn't last long, less than a quarter of an hour, before the Pofeng Army changed hands.
Xiao Ruojin was quite happy to have taken over the strongest army in Beili—the Breaking Wind Army—without any casualties.
However, considering that the Pofeng Army was only loyal to the Baili family and always recognized people but not military tokens, his eyes darkened again.
Xiao Ruojin's mind raced. Since things had come to this, why not seize the opportunity to gain a good reputation and bestow a favor upon the Baili family?
Firstly, it can quickly win back the hearts of the Breaking Wind Army, thus buying time for future disbandment and reorganization.
Secondly, having taken such a large piece of meat from the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion with empty hands, one should at least offer something to warm people's hearts in order to ensure sustainable development.
Thirdly, it was to demonstrate one's magnanimity and show that one was wise and powerful, unlike the useless Emperor Tai'an who was wary of military generals.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruojin laughed and said, "Since you are so generous, then I will shamelessly ask you for another person."
Baili Luochen asked in surprise, "Who?"
"The heir of the Marquis of Zhenxi—Baili Chengfeng." Xiao Ruojin's eyes shone brightly.
It just so happens that Baili Chengfeng is a bit unruly, so keeping him under our noses is just right, and he can also be used as a hostage.
If he behaves himself and fulfills his duties as a subject, then it doesn't matter. But if he really harbors any improper thoughts—
Ha ha!
When in this world does someone not die?
Furthermore, there are only three men in the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion. Baili Luochen is already old, and Baili Dongjun is a love-struck fool, so they can't be relied on at all. Only Baili Chengfeng is really suitable.
Xiao Ruojin was calculating in her mind, while Baili Luochen was experiencing a great deal of turmoil.
"Your Highness wants to use Chengfeng..." Baili Luochen looked at Xiao Ruojin in disbelief, his heart filled with shock.
King Jingyu actually wants to use Chengfeng!
The Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion had long been feared by the imperial court. Anyone with eyes could see that the Baili family's power was limited to his generation.
Once Baili Luochen dies, the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion will cease to exist.
That's why he was happy for his grandson to embark on the path of the martial world, since the Baili family no longer had a place in the imperial court.
Even if you force Baili Dongjun to work hard, in the end he will just be another depressed and frustrated Baili Chengfeng.
But now, King Jingyu actually wants to appoint Chengfeng?
At this moment, Baili Luochen felt as if he were having a beautiful dream.
His son was by no means a good-for-nothing or a spoiled brat, but a person with real talent and lofty ambitions.
If Emperor Tai'an hadn't been wary of the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion and unwilling to grant him military merits, Cheng Feng would probably have already become the new generation's military god of Beili.
Originally, it was thought that the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion would decline after losing the Pofeng Army, but unexpectedly, King Jingyu had the courage and boldness to appoint Chengfeng.
At that very moment, the elderly Baili Luochen was suddenly overcome with the impulse to die for a friend who understood him.
