Chapter 166 (2/2)

”Ah?!” Hearing the harsh conditions which NanGong TianLong gave, not to mention NanGong Yu, even the usually vicious NanGong TianHu had his mouth open up wide from shock. ”Brother, isn’t this a little inappropriate? Of these conditions, that old man Yang will probably be able to accept the first condition. After all, he can just find a few servants or the guards present that night. But for the second and third condition, Yang KongQun will definitely not accept them! Especially the third condition, that’s almost half of the Yang Family’s a.s.sets and he definitely won’t agree to it!”

”Wrong!” NanGong TianLong gave a devious smile, ”Under normal circ.u.mstances, Yang KongQun would probably make such a decision. But now that all the powers of the continent are gathered here, the Yang Family cannot afford to lose its strength. As long as Yang KongQun agrees to the first and second condition, the hearts of those in the Yang Family will definitely waver. In such delicate times, wavering hearts will definitely lead to their destruction! Thus, Yang KongQun would rather start a war with us then to agree to the first two conditions! As for the third condition, he has no choice but to agree to it! My motive is also the third condition!”

”Big brother is wise!” NanGong TianHu could not help but be filled with admiration. Big brother is big brother indeed. It is probably impossible for me to come up with such an idea in this lifetime of mine!

”Tell Yang KongQun that if he doesn’t agree, our NanGong Family will make preparations to build ties with the Ling Family, and go to war with their Yang Family! We will definitely wipe out their Yang Family!” NanGong TianLong let out a cunning smile. With the strength of their NanGong Family, the Ling Family would probably be glad for them to help eliminate the Yang Family!

At the same time, Meng LiGe was tossing around in his bed restlessly. His eyes were opened as he lay down on his bed, listening to the sound of raindrops outside the window. Meng LiGe was extremely frustrated!

Being the first external power to enter the Sky Bearing City, Meng LiGe enjoyed the best treatment after they handed over the official notice of visit, and they were arranged to stay in the guesthouse of the imperial palace! Meng LiGe understood that the Sky Bearing Empire was giving both their Northern Wei and the Yu Family face! If he was alone, it would be impossible for him to receive such treatment.

Along the way, Meng LiGe was both frustrated and disappointed to the extreme. His a.s.sistant, s.h.i.+ YiTan, was a trusted aide of the crown prince. While s.h.i.+ YiTan was his a.s.sistant on the surface, s.h.i.+ YiTan seemed to be at odds with him all the time, with the subtle intention to spy on him! Meng LiGe did not have a choice but to be on full alert!

Thinking about all the past events, Meng LiGe realized that he knew far too many secrets that he shouldn’t have known. While they were all divulged to him by the crown prince himself, it would be impossible for him to lead a carefree life after knowing these secrets!

Listening to the rain, Meng LiGe’s eyes were solemn as the words ‘the birds are gone, the bow is hidden’ came into his mind! While the birds were not gone and his wisdom had not been put to use, Wei ChengPing had obviously began to grow worry about him! Especially after seeing the vicious look on the crown prince’s face, Meng LiGe was sure that this usually virtuous crown prince probably had the intention to kill him! [1]

Meng LiGe let out a bitter laugh, ”I can’t imagine that I would misjudge him with my keen eyesight!”

Thinking about the trump card Wei ChengPing prepared to deal with Yu BingYan, Meng LiGe was certain that the same treatment would await him when he returns to Northern Wei!

With a long sigh, Meng LiGe shut his eyes and thought about a plan to escape.

This long night finally pa.s.sed and the rain had already ceased. The flood in the Sky Bearing City was already a foot deep with no sign of it subsiding at any time. The moat outside the city had already turned into a turbulent river, with turbid waters surging.

This once in hundred years thunderstorm had resulted in everyone from the Sky Bearing City shutting themselves at home, and trying their best to get rid of the flood. On the streets, apart from the murky flood waters, not a single person could be seen. Even the patrol squads of the capital did not make an appearance today. After all, the troops from the patrol squads were also human and no one would blame them in such a special scenario. Besides, it would probably be impossible for anyone to commit a crime in such a weather!

In the Ling mansion, the flood waters were already more or less settled. The numerous guards were holding on to wooden pots and buckets to pour out all the water in the mansion. In front of the Ling mansion, there was even a miniature dam that was built to divert all the water away from their mansion.
