"Boss, I'm back!"
"How is it?" Chen Fei asked anxiously after seeing him.
"I met Zheng Zhen and asked her to meet you at the designated place the day after tomorrow according to your instructions!"
Chen Fei felt a little nervous, "Then what was her reaction?"
"She said she would come over to see you as scheduled the day after tomorrow!"
"That's good!" Chen Fei could finally relax and told his younger brother: "Go and make arrangements, and you must not mention anything I have to do that day to anyone, especially Ling Qiuyun, do you hear me? "
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely help you keep the secret!"
Chen Fei nodded, "I will find a reason to prevaricate with Ling Qiuyun before I go to see Zheng Zhen. If he asks you about my whereabouts, you just can't tell me!"
"I know, um, brother..."
Chen Fei saw that he was hesitating suddenly, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I think... I'd better go with you. I'm always a little worried about you being alone!" He whispered.
Although Chen Fei committed a heinous crime, he was extremely loyal to his brothers, so each of his younger brothers not only obeyed his words, but also sincerely wanted to follow him for the rest of their lives, which is why he was so worried.
"No need!" Chen Fei refused immediately, "If Zheng Zhen notices something strange, I won't be able to use her to deal with Lin Zai, Li Ao and the others. Don't worry, she is a little girl and can't make any waves. Besides, she is against I’m not wary, and she’s counting on me to help her get rid of Lin Zai, so I won’t be in any danger!”
Being too conceited can easily lead to failure, but Chen Fei will never realize what his problem is, just like when he rashly attacked the Western Region before formulating a 100% feasible plan, which ultimately led to his heavy losses and defeat. He returned and caused the death of many of his brothers.
It was obvious that he was too impulsive and conceited, which led to the defeat, but Chen Fei blamed all the faults on Li Ao. He never thought about finding his own problems. At this time, he couldn't listen to Ling Qiuyun's advice and insisted on doing it. He insisted on going his own way, and even thought that he had firmly controlled Zheng Zhen, and did not consider any way out for him.
"But..."
In comparison, his younger brother was much more cautious, but Chen Fei was a little impatient. "Are you doubting me?" he asked sharply.
Chen Fei hates people who are hesitant and timid, but he will never know that prudence and timidity are actually completely different concepts.
"Boss, that's not what I meant!" He explained hurriedly.
Chen Fei knew that he had good intentions, so he softened his tone and said: "I know it well, you don't have to worry!"
"I understand, brother, I'm sorry, I will never say such things again!"
"Louzi, you haven't forgotten how our brothers died tragically, right?"
The face of the man named Louzi immediately became heavy, and he said with a fierce look: "Don't worry, boss, I can forget everything, but I will never forget this thing in my life!"
Chen Fei patted him on the shoulder, "Soon, we will be able to avenge our brothers soon!"
"Yes, brother, thanks to your continuous efforts and dormancy, we can have a chance to get rid of Li Ao!"
Chen Fei clenched his fists, "Li Ao escaped last time, but he won't be so lucky forever. He killed so many of us, and I must make him pay with blood!"
"Brother, I knew you would find a way!" Louzi was full of admiration for him.
"Well, after Li Ao dies, the Western Territory will be ours!" Chen Fei said proudly.
Louzi nodded, "Our wish for so many years can finally come true!"
"That's right!"
Chen Fei had already begun to dream about a glorious life in the future, but Louzi suddenly asked with worry: "Brother, do you really believe in the Ninth Prince so much?"
Chen Fei's heart trembled when he heard this. He stared at the building and said slightly unhappy: "What do you mean?"
Louzi reminded in a low voice: "Brother, you are not the only one who works for the Ninth Prince!"
Chen Fei immediately understood what he was referring to. He frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Ling Qiuyun might threaten us?"
"That's right, after the Ninth Prince left, he handed over all matters in the Western Territory to Ling Qiuyun. This is enough to prove that he trusts Ling Qiuyun more than you, my eldest brother. So do you think that if the Ninth Prince really gets the Western Territory, Who will he put in charge of this place?"
Only then did Chen Fei realize his situation. He had never considered this issue before, but now it seemed that the Ninth Prince did appreciate that bastard more than himself.
He didn't like Ling Qiuyun to begin with, so he couldn't bear to look at that guy everywhere in the future.
When he thought of this, Chen Fei slammed the table, "I worked hard for him from birth to death, but I didn't expect that I would end up making a wedding dress for someone else!"
Compared with him, Louzi seemed much more stable. He advised in a low voice: "Brother, don't be impatient. The Ninth Prince has Rong Guo's back. We will have to rely on his strength when the time comes, so you must not give him to him." excuse me!"
"Then you want me to let it go? No, I just can't take this breath!"
Why?
He was unwilling to do so, so he could never just watch that person climb to a higher position than him.
"Of course we can't just let this matter go, but we shouldn't offend the Ninth Prince. Brother, I think we can secretly get rid of Ling Qiuyun. Anyway, the Ninth Prince is not in the Western Region. Then we can find any reason to kill him. Isn’t it okay to shift the responsibility to others?”
"You are right! Louzi, when I come back, we will find a way to kill him!" Chen Fei said with a fierce expression.
Ling Qiuyun is in their camp, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?
Anyway, he had long disliked this arrogant guy.

Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Fei walked out of the room, he saw Ling Qiuyun walking towards him.
He wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but Ling Qiuyun actually came over to say hello to him.
"morning!"
"Morning." Chen Fei felt resentful in his heart, but he couldn't express it now.
If Ling Qiuyun realizes that he has murderous intentions towards him, he might leave here quietly, and he has always maintained contact with the Ninth Prince. If he deliberately slanders himself with the Ninth Prince, he will be the one who will be in trouble.
So he could only choose to be patient for the time being.
"where are you going?"
"Go for a walk, how about you?"
"Me too!"
Ling Qiuyun sighed. He had been hiding here these days, and his life was peaceful, but his heart was not at all peaceful.
Ling Qiuyun was not as calm as he showed. He could not confirm the specific situation in the Western Region, let alone how his mother was doing recently.
But now he has no other better way. It's hard to recover after overturning the water. No matter what he sacrifices, he must persevere.
"By the way, I'm going to go out tomorrow!"
"Where are you going?" Ling Qiuyun immediately asked with a frown.
"Tomorrow is the death anniversary of my brothers, I want to go see them!"
"good!"
After hearing the reason, Ling Qiuyun didn't ask any more questions.
"The Ninth Prince has just sent news. He told us to stay calm and never act rashly!"
"I know!" Chen Fei unexpectedly didn't argue with him this time. Ling Qiuyun wouldn't live long anyway, so it didn't matter if he let him be proud for a while!
"By the way, have the people you sent to monitor the Li Mansion discovered anything unusual recently?"
These are all Chen Fei's people, and Ling Qiuyun can't control them at all, so he can only rely on Chen Fei to get some news from him.
"No, it's still the same as before." Chen Fei replied expressionlessly.
"Yeah, I know!"
They had nothing else to say, so after a brief chat they went their separate ways.
Ling Qiuyun knew that Chen Fei was dissatisfied with him, but he did not expect that he had thoughts of killing him at this time.
If their positions were reversed, he would never give himself a way to survive!
But he firmly believed that Chen Fei would never have such thoughts, so he was not wary of him.

Minglan has been living in Xiao Muzhou Villa for some days, but the ninth prince still hasn't shown up, which makes Minglan feel more and more angry.
She did come to Rong Kingdom as she wished, but the Ninth Prince was still as indifferent to her as before. If this continued for a long time, there would be no difference between her coming to Rong Kingdom and staying in Lichun Court.
Everywhere is a prison, and the pain is the same.
She had to find a way to improve the situation, but she had no chance to see the Ninth Prince. Not only that, Cockroach always followed her these days for some reason, which made Minglan feel even more uneasy. For some reason, she always felt that Cockroach had been following her recently. Something doesn't seem quite right.
Cockroach is not good at lying, so Minglan decides to go to his room to talk to him soon.
Besides, he and the Ninth Prince must have been in constant contact. If she wanted to see the Ninth Prince, she could only rely on Cyou's help.
