Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2858
Chapter 1371: Madness
“It’s you?” Ni Mingxuan recognized him.
“I can create an opportunity for you to get revenge.” Zaun looked at the pitiful guy in front of him, and had to admit that the Conqueror King was truly a pervert. Ni Mingxuan’s
eyes were excited, but he quickly calmed down and said sarcastically, “You’re nothing but the Conqueror King’s lackey. Is he planning to use you as bait to make me make a mistake so he can have a legitimate reason to back out?”
Tesna had made such a great sacrifice to save his life, how could he betray her kindness?
Zaun guessed his thoughts and couldn’t help but shake his head: “I didn’t expect that the once proud Ni Mingxuan would become such a useless piece of trash who only knows how to offer his wife for personal gain.”
“What did you say!” Ni Mingxuan immediately flew into a rage and rushed to the railing, his eyes seeming to want to devour someone.
Anger from Ni Mingxuan increased by 799…
Zaun nodded slightly: “You know how to get angry, you haven’t completely fallen yet.”
He then stopped smiling: “If the Conqueror King really wants to deal with you, he has countless methods. Can you defend against them all?”
Ni Mingxuan fell silent. Indeed, even if he rejected the “trap” before him this time, countless traps awaited him in the future.
“Are you willing to rely on your wife’s body for temporary peace, waiting for him to tire of you before killing you, or are you willing to fight back and avenge yourself and your wife?” Zaun’s voice possessed a strange magic.
Ni Mingxuan narrowed his eyes: “How do I fight back?”
“I can create an opportunity for you.” Zaun’s expression was calm, as if he were stating a certainty.
Ni Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then finally said heavily: “Okay!”
After leaving the prison, Zaun found Ao Bai. In this world, Ao Bai was also a high-ranking powerhouse in the Annihilation faction. He had previously supported Ni Mingxuan in inheriting the power of the Lawless String.
Later, Ni Mingxuan failed in his attempt to seize the throne, and his life became quite difficult.
The other party was quite surprised and wary of his arrival. Only after Zu’an produced the token and code of the Reverse Fate Cycle did he change his attitude.
Hearing their plan, the bearded Ao Bai gritted his teeth: “Fine, count me in!”
He had recently learned that the Reverse Fate Cycle was imprisoned and that even his wife had been forcibly taken by the Conqueror King. He knew it wouldn’t be long before it was his turn. If he really waited for the Ancestor of Annihilation to appoint the
Conqueror King as his divine messenger, he would have no chance of advancement. He could take advantage of the time before the Ancestor of Annihilation descended again to deal with the Conqueror King, making it a fait accompli. He figured the Ancestor wouldn’t punish everyone for a dead Conqueror King.
Zu’an then found another influential prince, Jirhalang, also a powerful figure from the Ancestor of Annihilation. In this world, he was one of the major regents of the Qing Dynasty, highly respected and charismatic.
When the Conqueror King and the Reverse Fate Whirl were locked in their fiercest struggle, he didn’t support the Conqueror King. Instead, he proposed the Ninth Son of the Lawless String, Wang Xuanjin—who is the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin of this world. Although the Conqueror King didn’t say anything at the time, a thorn had been planted in his heart.
Knowing that Jirhalang wasn’t on his side, he figured it was better to get rid of him sooner rather than later.
When Zaun found Jirhalang, the two sides hit it off immediately. Through his own channels, he had learned that the Conqueror King planned to use the Reverse Fate Whirl case to implicate him. Since that was the case, there was no choice but to fight back.
In the secret chamber, Jirhalang said to Zu’an, “To achieve great things, we must deal with his confidants. First and foremost are Dodo and Ajige, the Conqueror King’s brothers, each commanding significant military power.”
Zu’an replied, “Dodo is currently leading troops abroad, tied down by the remnants of the Southern Ming, and won’t be back for a while. As for Ajige, he’s just a reckless brute. Once we’ve dealt with the Conqueror King, dealing with him will be a piece of cake.”
Jirhalang nodded, clearly agreeing with his assessment: “Besides that, there’s the Imperial Guard Commander Suksaha, responsible for the palace’s defenses. If anything goes wrong, he might take the Emperor and Empress Dowager hostage, and we’d easily be branded as traitors, ultimately facing certain death.”
“Aobai is the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards; with him keeping Suksaha in check, he can’t cause any real trouble.” “
And Leng Sengji, as the Commander of the Nine Gates, controls the capital’s troops. Once he closes the Nine Gates, we’ll be trapped like turtles in a jar.”
“Who said we’d make our move in the capital? The capital is now the Conqueror King’s stronghold, his power deeply entrenched. The chances of making a move within the city are too slim.”
“If not in the city, then where?”
“Outside the city, of course.”
“But he’s always been cautious, how could he easily leave the capital?” Jirhalang couldn’t help but ask.
“I have my own methods, you all prepare yourselves.” Zuan didn’t reveal everything to him.
“Fine!” Jirhalang’s eyes flashed with murderous intent; it was now a matter of life or death.
…
Meanwhile, the Conqueror King, having previously possessed the wife of the Reversing Fate Whirlwind, was truly refreshed and clear-headed. He
then turned his gaze to the palace.
He had long harbored designs on that cold and beautiful young Empress Dowager.
Previously, he hadn’t been able to succeed because of the power of the String of No Law and his many princes.
But now, with his power at its zenith, everything was within reach.
Especially considering that she also held the identity of the Order God’s Envoy, his desire for conquest grew even stronger.
The only regret was that back then, Wu Lu Zhi Xian, in order to suppress him, actually let that kid win first.
Hmph, it doesn’t matter. Now that Wu Lu Zhi Xian is dead and the world is nine-tenths settled, that kid is useless now. He can just find an excuse to kill him another day.
Speaking of which, his female relatives are quite nice. That female spy who infiltrated Li Zicheng’s army has such a sweet smile.
There’s also a woman named Zheng Dan, who is very dignified. I heard that she looks a lot like the imperial sister-in-law from the Ming Dynasty palace.
How audacious! How could someone of his status dare to lay a finger on such a woman?
In addition, Zhao Xiaodie is also quite nice. Although she is nominally his daughter, the two are not related by blood.
…
Thinking of those beautiful and charming women, the Conqueror King’s heart was burning. He even felt that he seemed to have a certain affinity for the way of reproduction.
He moved with lightning speed and quickly arrived at the inner courtyard of the palace, where he found the cold and beautiful Empress Dowager.
Looking at her long, shapely, and full legs outlined by stockings, the Conqueror King could no longer resist. He was about to rush over when she stopped him.
“There are too many people in the palace, and it will have a bad influence if this gets out.”
“Now the palace is full of my people, who would dare to spread this?”
“Isn’t Ao Bai, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, always at odds with you? Besides, the young emperor is also in the palace. If this gets to his ears, it will be difficult to end things if we fall out.”
The Conqueror King frowned. What the other party said was indeed true. He had just taken the rebellious Empress Dowager as his wife, and those people were already quite critical. If word got out that he had violated the Empress Dowager, those people would unite with the young emperor to cause trouble.
“The Empress Dowager can’t just dismiss me like this. As long as I can have you, I can endure all the gossip.”
“Who in the world can resist the Conqueror King now? I’ll just say I don’t want to stay in the palace. We can go outside. Then there won’t be so many people watching, and the young emperor won’t be around.” The
Conqueror King’s heart warmed. Under the open sky, he could even conquer the aloof and beautiful Empress Dowager on horseback. That feeling was indeed quite exciting: “Alright, let’s set off tomorrow for the hunt in Chengde!”
