The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Chapter 744 Too Big an Appetite

Yu Feihong then asked, "Jia Tisi, Madam Wen is currently at the inn we run in Juebi City. Would you like to go see her?"

Jia Daoshi shook his head directly: "I'm not going. Going there will only lead to unpleasantness."

Jia Daoshi was afraid that he would not be able to resist taking action.

He was now hoping the Empress would make a move soon and kill all these guys to avoid causing him a lot of trouble later.

Currently, various forces in the imperial court and the martial arts world are secretly colluding, and the Empress has a great deal to deal with.

Yu Feihong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back now and make sure she leaves Juebi City."

After saying this, Yu Feihong took her leave.

Watching Yu Feihong turn and leave, Jia Daoshi had a vague premonition that this fifth prince probably wouldn't stay still for much longer.

If these people were to create another Yellow Turban Army or Red Turban Army, that wouldn't be a good thing for him either.

After all, Ji Bingyan is now his woman, and so is Shen Li. If the Great Jing is thrown into chaos, he won't have this leisurely life he has now.

……

After a while.

Tongfu Inn is the largest restaurant in the city of Juebi.

In one of the most luxurious private rooms, a woman in a long black dress sat by the window, drinking tea and watching the pedestrians and patrolling soldiers on the main street of the city, a thoughtful expression on her face.

This middle-aged beauty was none other than Wen Qing.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The door was pushed open.

Yu Feihong walked in.

"Sister Yu, has Chief Justice Jia agreed to see me?" Wen Qing asked, getting up.

Yu Feihong said calmly, "Madam Wen, I'm truly sorry, but our Chief Inspector has said that he does not intend to see you."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing was taken aback.

To be honest, the condition proposed by Wu Quan was indeed very tempting.

Almost no one can refuse.

Moreover, Wen Qing came here with a mission: to help the Fifth Prince resolve his grudges with Jia Daoshi and work together.

But now, they're not even willing to meet, so how can we continue the negotiations?

There's absolutely no way to negotiate!

So this is a big problem.

Wen Qing frowned and said, "Sister Yu, did you not convey my words to Chief Inspector Jia?"

Yu Feihong shook her head: "I told you everything you said, but Jia Tisi said that you had no sincerity at all, so he directly rejected your proposal."

Wen Qing: "..."

Given all this, how can there be no sincerity?

However, Wen Qing quickly realized what was happening.

Their condition was that Jia Daoshi support the Fifth Prince, that the Fifth Prince win the struggle for the throne among the nine princes, and that the Fifth Prince cede the northwestern region, including Youzhou, to Jia Daoshi. Then Jia Daoshi could do whatever he wanted there, and even becoming emperor wouldn't be out of the question!

If Jia Daoshi doesn't even care about this little bit, then there can only be one reason: Jia Daoshi's ambitions go far beyond this, so he simply doesn't care about such a small place in the northwest where Youzhou County is located!

In this way, the Fifth Prince and Jia Daoshi can only be enemies!

The reason why the Fifth Prince made this choice was that he believed that the tens of thousands of Xuanjia heavy cavalry and those mysterious weapons controlled by Jia Daoshi belonged to the imperial court, and that Jia Daoshi was just a pawn that Empress Ji Wuxin had placed in Juebi City.

No one is willing to be a pawn.

Especially for people like Jia Daoshi, he thought of using land as a bargaining chip to persuade Jia Daoshi to cooperate and make great achievements together.

If Jia Daoshi agrees, they will be able to eliminate the threat from Youzhou County without bloodshed, thus gaining an advantage in the struggle for the throne among the princes!

But judging from the current situation, Jia Daoshi seems to be somewhat unsure of his place.

Thinking of this, a mocking look appeared on Wen Qing's face.

Jia Daoshi's martial arts skills were quite impressive.

However, no matter how strong an individual's power is, it is insignificant in the grand drama of the struggle for the throne.

“Chief Jia disagrees. What does General Ming say?” Wen Qing asked.

"General Ming has already sent out the message, but he is currently in seclusion and I'm afraid he won't be out of seclusion anytime soon," Yu Feihong said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing smiled faintly: "General Ming's seclusion at this time is quite coincidental."

"Sister Yu, you live in the City Lord's Mansion. Do you know whether the 30,000 Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry of Juebi City belong to the imperial court or to Chief Jia?"

Yu Feihong shook her head: "Chief Jia never mentioned any of this, but in my opinion, none of this matters. What matters is who can command these 30,000 Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry! Alright, Madam Wen, I think you should leave Juebi City as soon as possible. If you wait too long, you might not be able to leave."

Wen Qing snorted coldly: "What? Could it be that this kid wants to lay a hand on me? By the way, your Young General Ming has moved into the City Lord's Mansion. Could it be that he has also become Jia Daoshi's wife? Become part of the family?"

Upon hearing Wen Qing's words, Yu Feihong's expression immediately changed, and she said coldly, "Madam Wen, please be careful with your words! Our Young General Ming and Chief Inspector Jia are merely cooperating, simply to help the people of Youzhou and the Southwest prefectures live better lives, nothing more!"

"Besides, whether Madam Wen stays or leaves is your own business. Even if you don't leave, it has nothing to do with me."

"Furthermore, the relationship between General Ming and Chief Jia is completely innocent, so please, Madam, refrain from gossiping behind their backs!"

Yu Feihong's words were quite blunt.

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing was not angry, but continued, "Sister Yu, why be angry? The innocent will clear themselves. I was just saying that. Also, after you return to the City Lord's Mansion, please persuade Jia Tisi. Having too big an appetite is not a good thing."

"To put it bluntly, cooperating with the Fifth Prince is the only correct choice."

After saying that, Wen Qing knew that she was no match for Jia Daoshi, so she didn't intend to waste any more words: "Sister Yu, then I'll be leaving. Since Jia doesn't like me, I'm too embarrassed to stay here and ruin his mood."

With that, Wen Qing called out to the disciple living next door and set off.

After Wen Qing and his group left, Yu Feihong frowned.

From what Wen Qing just said, it's clear that the other party is extremely confident and fearless!

Could it be that the Fifth Prince, who seems to be in a complete downturn, still has some tricks up his sleeve?

Speaking of cooperation, the Grand General would certainly not cooperate with the Fifth Prince.

However, Ming Heying's thoughts were hard to guess, and Yu Feihong didn't know what her general was thinking either.

Furthermore, Grand Tutor Shen suddenly returned to the capital in triumph.

Even someone as intelligent as Yu Feihong felt somewhat lost when faced with this bizarre situation.
