экстравагантный - Глава 70
Lin Feng broke out in a cold sweat. Although he knew that the meaning of this "satisfaction" actually involved various aspects and was not so ambiguous, it still sounded wrong no matter how he listened to it.
"You don't seem to be so lenient with your betrayed subordinates, do you?" Lin Feng said suspiciously.
“That’s different. I haven’t taken a liking to them, nor have I set my sights on them. How can I be compared to you?” Bei Chentian said matter-of-factly, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng with a bright and captivating gaze. His voice was low, husky, and extremely alluring: “Once I’ve set my sights on someone, there’s no way she’ll run away. I won’t give you the chance to betray me.”
"Getting more and more arrogant!" Lin Feng snorted and rolled his eyes.
"I'm getting more and more confident, and I don't think there's anything wrong with my confidence." Bei Chentian chuckled and said seriously, "Do I look like the kind of man who can't satisfy a woman? Didn't you just touch me?"
Lin Feng: "..."
Lin Feng really wanted to refute this arrogant bastard, but after taking a good look at the man's handsome, almost superhuman face and his tall, muscular, and practically perfect physique, he felt at a loss for words. Moreover, given Bei Chentian's cunning nature, if he continued, he might just blurt out, "Why don't you try it yourself?" After thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to give up arguing with him.
Bei Chentian's answer satisfied her. Lin Feng understood his true meaning: he wanted to treat her well, so well that she wouldn't want to betray him and wouldn't have the thought of leaving. This was the man's way of dealing with her.
Originally, Lin Feng was impervious to both soft and hard approaches, but Bei Chentian, whose personality was very similar to hers, made her feel close to him and a sense of kinship. Bei Chentian skillfully used this feeling to get close to her, then catered to her preferences, using the benefits she liked to sway her and keep her around, thus achieving his goals step by step. He was ruthless and cunning.
However, if one didn't resort to such unscrupulous means, it would have been impossible to win over Lin Feng.
Bei Chentian held the beauty in his arms and smiled smugly. So what if he was scheming? Lin Feng was smart enough to see through it anyway. The real power of his scheming was that even if Lin Feng saw through it, he would still develop a good impression of him. Who wouldn't want someone to treat them well?
"Alright, now that you're here, are things all prepared?" Lin Feng didn't seem to mind much. He lazily found a comfortable spot in his arms and lay down, his dark eyes narrowing as he turned the conversation to business.
"In less than three days, Lei Ran will take you to your new residence." Bei Chentian nodded, then looked up and saw Lin Feng's alluring eyes. His heart was filled with ripples of frustration. Why was it that he seemed to be unable to resist her charm, yet she remained like a block of wood, completely ignoring his charm, as if he, the most handsome man in the world, was just a decoration?
Sigh, there are downsides to women being too rational.
However, Lin Feng seemed unaware of his change in mindset, and was slightly surprised: "The Li family's project was completed so quickly? I thought it would take at least half a year, that's a mountain!"
“You underestimate Lei Ran. His request for a mountain from the Li family was also intentional.” Bei Chentian raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “There is only one mountain near the capital that meets the requirements for residence. This mountain is called Chaolin Mountain, which is the residence of the current Empress Zhao Feier’s brother. Behind the mountain is the Zhao family’s private military garrison. Do you understand?”
"Ah, so that's how it is..." Lin Feng suddenly realized, his eyes flashing: "Lei Ran wants to take this opportunity to squeeze the Li family dry, and then eliminate the armed forces controlled by the Zhao family's maternal relatives. The Li family is acting on the emperor's orders, and the Zhao family has no choice but to give way. In that case, the Li family's money will be given to the Zhao family, and Lei Ran can use the excuse of 'accidentally' discovering that they have privately amassed troops with the intention of rebelling and taking down the Zhao family's uncle. The Li family's wealth will then fall into Lei Ran's pocket. What a vicious plan to kill two birds with one stone! It may have been planned for a long time!"
“Of course, I told you not to underestimate Lei Ran.” Bei Chentian’s eyes gleamed as he said calmly, “When Lei Ran married several concubines, he had already made corresponding arrangements to prevent future trouble from the maternal relatives. At that time, he was only sixteen years old. After receiving intelligence from the secret agents in Tiancheng Capital, I knew that this crown prince might not be simple. Moreover, because Tiancheng has always been Bei Chen’s mortal enemy, the deployment in Tiancheng Capital was more than five times that of other places. During the time that Lei Ran has been on the throne, he has tried his best to consolidate his power and strive to wipe out the maternal relatives in one fell swoop. The key is this time. In a few days, there will be a great battle at Chaolin Mountain.”
"Sixteen years old..." Lin Feng's eyes suddenly twitched, and he raised his head slightly, his heart pounding with shock: "Bei Chentian, you were only sixteen years old back then!"
Two sixteen-year-old boys were already plotting to conquer the world; if it weren't for time travel, this would be truly unimaginable.
"Yes, sixteen years old, six years ago." Bei Chentian smiled faintly, gazing into the distance, as if those memories and glories were all insignificant.
Six years ago, he, the current war god and the king who intimidated Yin Sang, was just a twenty-two-year-old youth.
Lin Feng seemed to suddenly understand the source of this man's arrogance and confidence.
Oh my god, I think Xiao Bei is getting more and more outrageous. I really want Feng Feng to take care of him, but Feng Feng doesn't seem to agree. What should I do? Any suggestions?
The Seventy Tricks in the Main Text
The tense arrangements were carried out in secret. This time, Lin Feng felt as if he had inexplicably become idle. He didn't care about anything or do anything. He ate, slept, and chatted with Bei Chentian about life and the world. Three days passed just like that. Lei Ran seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth during these three days and never came again. Bei Chentian also did not leave for even a moment.
Three days later, early in the morning, Lei Ran's chiseled handsome face appeared in Lin Feng's field of vision, his eyes full of smug joy, and his eyes were also a little dark.
"Lin Feng, your residence is all ready. Today, I will take you to see it. I am sure you will like it."
"What place is that?" Even though he already knew beforehand, Lin Feng still asked a question as a formality.
"My most beautiful Chaolin Mountain is now yours. I've been arranging today's trip these past few days. How about it, Lin Feng? I've put a lot of effort into you, haven't I? Have you forgotten about that bastard Bei Chentian?" Lei Ran asked smugly, wishing Lin Feng would immediately say "yes."
Lin Feng shrugged and said expressionlessly, "I never kept it in my heart, so how could I forget it?"
Lei Ran immediately perked up: "That's great..."
Before he could even finish celebrating, Lin Feng coldly added another sentence that made Lei Ran's face fall: "Since I don't remember him, of course I won't remember you, King Lei."
A row of black lines appeared on Lei Ran's forehead. His lips twitched, and he looked utterly defeated. It was truly unprecedented for a dignified emperor to suffer such repeated defeats in front of a woman.
"Sigh, I really doubt whether you have a heart. Let's go." Lei Ran glared at Lin Feng for a long time, seemingly experiencing the woman's heartlessness once again. He shook his head and led the way. The carriage was ready. This trip to Lin Mountain was quite grand, with a very solemn procession. They really put a lot of thought into it for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't argue with him any longer and walked out on her own. Suddenly, she felt a tight grip on her hand. Bei Chentian, who had been silent beside her, followed and grabbed her arm tightly. Lin Feng turned her head and saw that his disguised face was all wrinkled up, full of sorrow, as if he had suffered a great injustice, looking at her with resentment.
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Why was this guy here again?
These days, this man always looks at her with this kind of gaze. Every time he looks at her like this, he will touch her and make a declaration of his feelings. His shamelessness is unparalleled. Even her icy face is about to break down. It is usually women who are scary when they are clingy. I never thought that a man could be several times more terrifying than a woman when he really sets his mind on clinging to someone!
Bei Chentian is truly relentless in achieving his goals, even more resilient than Lei Ran in enduring setbacks.
"You're constantly pestering me, why should I bother remembering? I can see you whether I open my eyes or not anyway," Lin Feng said to him in a low voice, clearly understanding why he was so resentful. He had surrendered to this guy's persistent pestering.
Upon hearing this news, Bei Chentian's face immediately lit up with a smile.
The imperial carriage set off, heading towards Chaolin Mountain from the palace. The emperor's procession was magnificent, like a long dragon stretching as far as the eye could see. Lei Ran seemed to still be wary of Lin Feng's previous actions that had damaged his image, so he rode alone in a carriage, while Lin Feng rode with Bei Chentian in the same one. After a swaying and rocking journey throughout the morning, they finally arrived at the foot of Chaolin Mountain.
Chaolin Mountain is indeed beautiful, like a poem or a painting. The unique tranquility and freshness of the mountain forest sweep over people's hearts. The mountain is very large. A blue stone road has been built on the mountain and leads all the way up. The carriage is not suitable for traveling up the mountain, so Lei Ran ordered the team to stop and he and Lin Feng got out of the carriage and walked up.
Walking on the cobblestone path, Lin Feng observed the surrounding scenery, a smile appearing in his eyes: "It is indeed a good place. It is quiet and not far from the capital, so you can see all the happenings in the capital. However, it is so desolate that ordinary people will not come here easily. If it is used to garrison troops, I am afraid that no one will know."
Lei Ran raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Lin Feng, you're always so clever, but some things are better left unsaid.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled, then stopped talking, while Lei Ran was in high spirits as if he had eaten several kilograms of heroin.
Since Lin Feng was able to analyze the situation for him, Lei Ran saw it as a form of pledge of allegiance. However, Lin Feng was stubborn and refused to back down. Lei Ran looked smug and walked with a sense of excitement, as if he was already cheering that he would soon win over Lin Feng.
The group quickly reached the top of the mountain, and the mansion with its dark gold plaque was already in sight. The plaque read "Dark King's Mansion" in three large characters. A dashing man in his thirties stood at the gate, talking to the guards who had arrived earlier. The red lacquered gate was tightly closed, and the row of guards who had been stopped outside all had displeased expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lei Ran raised his eyebrows and walked forward with Lin Feng, his eyes darkening.
