650 Game of Palace Intrigues
Everyone in their plane knew that the old Emperor had always regarded Qian Jiyun as a thorn in his flesh.
He had been trying to suppress Qian Jiyun with endless tricks, hoping that Qian Jiyun would be unable to achieve anything. This had been going on for years.
Had the old Emperor provided Qian Jiyun with a bit more support, he would have been even more influential and able to exert his will over the lords of this plane with ease.
Unfortunately, he did not meet someone good at identifying talents. What else could he do?
They could only blame Qian Jiyun for being unlucky to be born in a terrible country like Daqing Kingdom.
If Qian Jiyun was born in their country, they would be the unlucky ones.
“I wonder who the old Emperor of Daqing Kingdom sent this time. Will he… Haha, if those two get into a fight, it’ll make for a good show.”
Someone laughed out loud, finding it more and more interesting.
“Qian Jiyun is still sending people to expand the camp. He’ll suffer when that person comes!”
Shang Ningyi frowned slightly.
It would be great if what they said were true. However, Qian Jiyun did not seem worried at all. What if there was more to the person sent by the old Emperor of Daqing Kingdom?
“Let’s go back first. We’ll come back tomorrow.”
Gong Cheng watched Shang Ningyi leave with the others and could not help but ask Yan Jin, “Yan Jin, were you joking just now? Are you really going to let those people with ill intentions send their people here?”
These people went too far. If they wanted benefits, they should say so. They even wanted to send people here!
“Isn’t it bad to make a false claim in Second Brother’s name? Don’t blame him for punishing you later.”
Yan Jin glanced at Gong Cheng and said, “Young Master Gong, this is what Master wants. I’m not faking it.”
Qian Jiyun had already expected them to send people to their new camp.
“No way! Second Brother said that?”
Gong Cheng was surprised and looked at Yan Jin in disbelief.
“Those people are obviously greedy. How can they let it go if they can’t get what they want?”
“They won’t let it go even if they get what they want,” Yan Jin continued.
Shang Ningyi wanted many things, and his ultimate desire was to have Qian Jiyun give the entire Camp Zhan Yun to him for him to rule.
Would Shang Ningyi be satisfied with extorting something small from them?
“Master said they could send people over if they wanted to.” Would Qian Jiyun be afraid of the divided people they sent into his territory?
“But they’re obviously—”
“They’re not here with ill intentions.”
Gong Cheng was about to say something when Yan Jin interrupted him.
Gong Cheng was speechless. He did not understand.
“Isn’t Second Brother afraid that Shang Ningyi will do something else?” he asked.
“Young Master Gong, this is Huayan Peak,” Yan Jin reminded.
There was no emperor here, and no one could suppress his master. Shang Ningyi’s game of palace intrigues would be useless.
At most, he would use brute force to instigate conflicts between the various lords.
“That’s true.” Gong Cheng nodded, agreeing with him.
“You’ll have to see if you’re willing to pay the price to blackmail us, right?”
