Feng Yu Jiu Tian Volume 16 Chapter 3.3

Thanks to Clixsense for the donation. It was done last week but I was overwhelmed, so... There will be another post on FYJT this week to finish off this 3 chapter. Thanks to the editor as well Minak Amie for her hard work.

Rong Tian nodded in a serious manner. “Based on my conversation with Hao Yuan Jiang, I have a rough understanding of the situation in Xi Lei. The power Tong Er has in court in becoming weaker. Hao Yuan Jiang mentioned that Tong Er has been getting more and more offensive and unreasonable, which is secretly terrifying the old courtiers. If I can return to Xi Lei and secretly reconnect with them, some extremely good results can be achieved.”

Once he considered how Rong Tian’s infiltration could endanger him, Feng Ming’s heart could not help but fall into chaos.

However, he had experienced many things by now and grown a lot. As a result, he understood that what Rong Tian said was reasonable. In a depressed mood, he asked,

“You really want to do it this way?”

His somewhat pitiful appearance made Rong Tian unable to restrain a smile.

“Rong Tian… I’ll give Rong Hu to you, and Luo Yun as well.”

“Don’t worry… Xi Lei is the land I was born. I am very familiar with the capital city and the imperial palace. I won’t get caught up in anything. If the tensions between the old courtiers’ faction and the newly appointed young ministers under Tong Er were to intensify, the situation would become more favourable for me. There’s something I want to do to make that happen, so I’ll have to sneak into Xi Lei first.”

“What are you going to do?”

Rong Tian used his finger to lightly tap the tip of his lovely nose. “Use your own brain to think about it. The Prime Minister said you need to exercise your brain a bit more.”

“You dare to use the Prime Minister to pressure me!”

“Be obedient… Just use your brain to figure it out. Later, I will do something to help you relax and feel comfortable. For instance… blowing your little flute. How about it? [TL: cough..cough (^ _ ^) ∠ ※ ]

Feng Ming blushed; his face turning red like a ripe persimmon. He stretched out his tongue and glared at Rong Tian’s hatefully smiling face. He thought for a long time but failed to think of a name to curse him with. He gave up and mumbled a weak comeback. “Who would want that… you hateful, perverted king…”

After complaining, he went into deep contemplation and muttered, “Letting tensions rise… what is the benefit in doing that?”

If I wanted to intensify the conflict between the old officials and the newly appointed ones… how would I do it?

All the historical dramas he had watched were circling within his mind.

In order to make a conflict worse, there is usually an incident that is needed to light the spark. Similar to how gunpowder needs a fuse to ignite and explode.

What kind of fuse could trigger those old officials and the new ones to start a civil strife? Killing one of them with a borrowed knife… is that possible?

Huh?

Borrowing… borrowing someone else’s hand!

Feng Ming’s eyes suddenly gleamed. Could it really be…

“Finally figured it out?”

Feng Ming raised his head, thought it over again, but still hesitated. He lightly scratched his cheek and said in a not too confident manner, “Um… Rong Tian. You don’t plan on killing that little bastard surnamed Su, right?”

Rong Tian was really happy and hugged him even more tightly as he praised, “Really clever! Both of us really think the same. Imagining the scene is already quite amusing. Xi Lei’s ambassador and his assistant are together on a mission to the Tong Kingdom, but the strong Su Jin Chao somehow dies. Instead, the old and frail Hao Yuan Jiang survives and returns. Tong Er will definitely use such an incident to denounce Hao Yuan Jiang, causing the old courtiers to cry out their grievances for their fellow comrade. The two parties have already accumulated resentment over time, and such an incident would make it worse. With such a serious conflict developing, we can take advantage of the situation.”

He continued to express his sentiments, “I hope Tong Er will act a bit more fiercely, forcing the old courtiers into a dead end. If that were to happen, even if they are not willing to accept the Grace Order, they will still have no choice but to come to my side for refuge.”

“But this way, Hao Yuan Jiang will become too pitiful. When he returns, he will surely be faced with Tong Er’s hostility. Perhaps he will even kill him. Also, even though his personality is detestable, Su Jin Chao isn’t bad enough to be sentenced to death, right?”

“My Feng Ming is really soft-hearted.” Rong Tian affectionately rubbed against him. His deep and magnetic voice sounded pleasing to the ears. “Every life is precious, right?”

Feng Ming was stunned for a moment.
