экстравагантный - Глава 59
Is this really his Consort Feng? The gentle Consort Feng? The Consort Feng who was devoted to him and willing to die for him? How did she become such a woman who spouts nonsense and lies through her teeth! Perhaps he would announce to the public that there was such a thing as "inviting someone to dinner," but she would definitely treat it as a fart, and he would treat it as a fart as well. But now, this woman is talking as if it were really true, and it even sounds like she's going to treat everyone like VIPs?
The heavens are high above us, why doesn't God strike this woman with a bolt of lightning?
Lei Ran's gaze towards Lin Feng was unpredictable; he truly felt that this woman was different.
"Then what do you want? Let me remind you, if you want me to release you, then there's no point in talking!" At this moment, Lei Ran understood that Lin Feng would never be as obsequious and subservient to her as "before". She was shrewd, intelligent, cunning and ruthless. Although she was a bit arrogant, it was by no means unreasonable arrogance. Rather, she was cunning and knew how to use tricks to lure people into her traps. What a cunning mind she had!
It turns out she really is that "Dark King," and she really has such abilities. Although it's unknown what changed her, Lin Feng now certainly has the right to look him in the eye as an equal.
"I know, and I don't expect you to release me. If you release me, wouldn't all this trouble you've gone through be a complete failure? I understand that you're after 'Dark's' abilities, the power of gunpowder, and 'Dark's' position in Bei Chentian's heart, which is why you want to capture me and either torture me or coerce me into revealing my secrets. But I can tell you clearly that neither of those methods will work on me. If you want to leave empty-handed, even though I cherish my life, I know I can be ruthless!" Lin Feng tossed the small ball in his hand into the air again, a smile playing on his lips. "Since that's the case, why don't we compromise? I'll accompany you back as a guest, have a meal, and you don't have to treat me like a prisoner. I promise that unless someone provokes me, I'll behave myself. If you have the ability, I'll willingly tell you my secrets. What do you say?"
As she spoke calmly and with a smile, Lei Ran's gaze grew increasingly shocked and uneasy.
Her words contained a great deal of information, subtly analyzing the stakes involved! He couldn't possibly leave empty-handed, and she couldn't possibly obediently tell him the secret of gunpowder. If she forced him, it would only end in a fight to the death. She had such a powerful weapon by her side; if she really fought to the death, she would drag him down with her, and he would definitely not escape!
After much thought, Lei Ran was horrified to discover that he really only had one path to take.
"Fine! I agree!" Lei Ran said decisively, though somewhat dejectedly. He wouldn't have succumbed to Bei Chentian, but he never imagined he'd be defeated by a woman! And this woman was actually one of his former concubines! Truly… the wheel of fortune turns, and today it's this woman's turn…
The main text is sixty close-fitting.
Hearing the expected answer, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction and pointed around: "Why aren't you telling them to leave?"
Lei Ran glared at her hatefully, yet felt somewhat helpless. He waved his hand fiercely, "Didn't you hear what the Dark King said? The Dark King and I are as close as brothers. What are you doing brandishing swords? Get out of here!"
The surrounding soldiers retreated like a receding tide. A sinister glint flashed in Lei Ran's eyes, and he waved his hand, saying, "Prepare the imperial carriage to welcome the Dark King Beichen to Tiancheng!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng lazily interrupted him: "I have always had a friendly relationship with King Lei, so there's no need to prepare a royal carriage for me. King Lei is right, we are as close as brothers. From now on, King Lei and I will be brothers, inseparable, and work together. We will be inseparable in the future, always together. Now, all of you, get out!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around was dumbfounded, and even Lei Ran stood there dumbfounded.
It was one thing for the two to be insincere, but when they actually said they were "inseparable," it still terrified a lot of people.
"You... what did you say?" Lei Ran stammered. Had he heard correctly? This woman actually wanted to stay by his side every step of the way? What kind of nonsensical adjectives were these? She was ordering his subordinates around so casually? How come he didn't know his subordinates had become hers?
But his useless subordinates actually didn't move, which made Lei Ran so angry that he almost wanted to buy a block of tofu and smash his head against it.
"Brother Lei, you are my life-saving talisman, how could I bear to leave you?" Lin Feng said arrogantly, but the glint in his eyes was clear: Kid, don't think I don't know what you're up to. I'm someone who takes oaths and vows as air, but I don't believe your bullshit promises. Without you as my life-saving talisman, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died.
Seeing the glint in her eyes, Lei Ran could no longer sigh in anger. He could only grit his teeth and wave his hand resentfully: "Get down here now! Do as the Dark King says!"
How could this woman be so shrewd? He was so angry he was about to suffer internal injuries!
He originally planned to lure the woman away from his side and then find an opportunity to secretly send someone to capture her. However, she was straightforward and made a surprising move by staying by his side at all times. It was obvious that she wanted to keep threatening him with that gunpowder. He had no choice but to agree. Firstly, his life was threatened by this woman, and secondly, he was, after all, an emperor, and he couldn't afford to damage his prestige in front of everyone.
Fine! Intimate then! I'll see how long you can last! I don't believe you're made of iron, that you don't need to eat, sleep, or bathe! I'll see what you do then!
Lei Ran was walking ahead with his handsome face raised when suddenly a hand grabbed his neck and clung to him like glue. He was immediately terrified and furious: "Lan Feng! You said you'd behave yourself!"
It's utterly disgraceful for a monarch to be seen entangled and arm-in-arm with someone dressed as a man!
The Lan Feng of the past was clearly a woman, but after coming out and walking around, Lin Feng, dressed in men's clothing, showed absolutely no trace of femininity. He was incredibly dashing, with a free and easy demeanor, a real handsome man. Was this really the same person? No matter how big a change a person makes, it's impossible for their very nature to change completely, right? Lei Ran's eyes gleamed with suspicion.
Lin Feng smiled innocently: "Lei Wang, we just said we're good brothers, why are you walking so fast? I've always been a bit timid, so don't blame me if I accidentally do something 'earth-shattering'."
"You..." Seeing the glint in Lin Feng's eyes, Lei Ran's face turned ashen. He had no choice but to brush off his sleeves and walk away slowly. His attempts to scheme had been seen through by Lin Feng, which was extremely humiliating!
And so, Lin Feng and Lei Ran began their journey back to Tiancheng. Although Lei Ran did not give up the pursuit of Bei Chentian, he returned empty-handed time and time again. Considering that Bei Chentian should have already joined up with his army, Lei Ran simply led his men to Tiancheng as fast as possible.
Chechi Fengyu is bound to lose this war, and they will likely fall into Beichen's hands. It will take Beichen some time to take Chechi, enough time for them to retreat. With the overall situation in mind, Beichen will not immediately pursue them. Therefore, Lin Feng's journey has been relatively peaceful.
She felt very comfortable, but Lei Ran finally realized what it meant to be trapped in one's own web.
Lei Ran was very depressed, extremely depressed.
He never dreamed that Lin Feng, that damned woman, would be so difficult to deal with!
The two inevitably engaged in a battle of wits and tricks, but Lei Ran discovered that no matter what tricks he used, he always seemed to be the one who suffered losses.
Not long after setting off, Lin Feng lazily asked a guard for a thick rope and tied his right hand and her left hand together. No one knew what method she used, but the knot of the rope was on Lin Feng's side, tied tightly and securely, and Lei Ran had no way to untie it. Lin Feng said with a smile: "I am your former concubine, and we should get to know each other better."
Although Lin Feng was "invited" to Tiancheng as the Dark King, Lei Ran's confidants all knew perfectly well that this woman was their Phoenix Consort. Her beauty was undeniable, unparalleled in the world. While the change in her personality was drastic, Lin Feng didn't want to waste words explaining such unrealistic things as possession. Lei Ran didn't trust her at all; what difference would it make if she explained?
Lin Feng's actions nearly made Lei Ran burst into a tirade: Who wants to build a relationship with you! Why didn't you build a relationship with me before!
However, under Lin Feng's blatant threatening gaze, he had no choice but to compromise. Both sides understood this implicitly. Lin Feng would never risk his life, so Lei Ran had no choice but to let herself be tied up by her. The two were indeed inseparable, sharing everything from food and clothing to shelter and transportation.
Then, a series of frustrating things happened to Lei Ran.
In the bathroom...
"Lan Feng! Aren't you done washing yet?" The man's furious roar carried far and wide, while the woman's retort was languid.
"Lei Wang, don't you know that women usually take a long time to take a bath?"
"How long is 'long time'? You've been washing for two hours! Do you want me to go in and 'serve' you properly?" With the veins bulging from the rope binding his hands, Lei Ran almost wanted to break it with his internal force!
"You want to come in? Sure, sure, of course you can. I'm always very magnanimous." With that, Lin Feng slammed the bathroom door open, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman's bare white skin to Lei Ran. However, beside her lay a certain dangerous little ball...
Lin Feng turned around and smiled brightly: "Oh, sorry, King Lei, I always like to keep my life-saving charm within easy reach."
As a result, Lei Ran's blood boiled, and it took him a long time to suppress his lust. He was in so much pain that he cursed, "You damned woman, you stinking woman, do you even know what shame is!" He was a man full of vigor, and Lan Feng's stunning figure was a great temptation to any man, especially since Lin Feng was doing it on purpose.
"Tch, the word 'shame' doesn't exist in my dictionary. Does Lei Wang still want to give it a try?"
"Never mind, never mind..." He'll give them a taste of their own medicine!
