Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Scheming
The furniture of scholars and poets is often crafted from mahogany, rosewood, and the like, adorned with engravings of flowers and birds. The furniture in Bloody Beard’s room, however, is made from the most expensive Golden Silk Nanmu and Blood Dragon Wood.
The style pursued is not elegance, but rather luxury.
Just like the Emperor’s throne and dragon bed in the Imperial Palace, both designed for opulence and grandeur, to manifest the supre majesty of the Royal Family.
The design of Bloody Beard’s furniture, such as the tea table, where others use small Eight Immortals tables, he insists on a large, square table, then covers the exterior with a layer of gold.
To showcase his wealth.
It’s utterly vulgar to the extre.
Seeing Chu Feng surveying his room and revealing a peculiar smile,
Bloody Beard naturally understood he was being mocked for the problematic arrangent of his room. Imdiately feeling a bit embarrassed, he scratched his head and said with a chuckle, "Hehe, please don’t laugh, my lord! I just saw those literary rooms with such style and wanted to learn a bit!"
"May I know why the lord has co to seek
out this ti?"
In Bloody Beard’s place, there is no tea, only alcohol. Chu Feng drank two cups, very strong, sowhat stinging the throat.
He retold the incident of Prince Liu Mansion plotting to ambush and kill him.
Upon hearing this, Bloody Beard imdiately knit his brows, deep in thought.
Despite his coarse exterior, when it’s ti to be ticulous, he leaves no room for vagueness. He’s coarse with a touch of finesse, and utterly familiar with all the tricks of the worldly society—effortlessly at his fingertips.
After quite so ti, a smile spread across Bloody Beard’s face, "My lord, I have thought of a strategy to defeat our enemy! What do you think of this..." Saying that, Bloody Beard divulged his plan.
After hearing the plan, Chu Feng couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim that indeed, every snake has its path, and every rat its burrow.
"The plan is good, I’ll just refine it a bit! rely killing Team Leader Wang isn’t enough, we also need to help my senior brother climb the ranks!" Chu Feng improved upon so details, even in the critical areas that Bloody Beard hadn’t entirely considered.
Bloody Beard’s admiration for Chu Feng reached the utmost extre.
Many of the details that even he didn’t think of, Chu Feng had considered all.
Moreover, Chu Feng’s improvents to the overlooked aspects were like the finishing touch, not only minimizing the risk to Bloody Beard himself but also flawlessly helping Chu Jianlan leverage the event to gain rit.
It was believed that after the affair was successfully executed, people like Prince Liu would surely be hopping mad.
...
After making sure the plan was foolproof with Bloody Beard, Chu Feng erged onto the street with a smile on his face. When he reached the alley near Sword King Mansion, the scouts arranged by Prince Liu Mansion imdiately spotted him.
"He’s here, he’s here! The Chu kid has arrived!"
The lookout from Prince Liu Mansion promptly went to inform Team Leader Wang, who was patrolling nearby.
At this mont, Team Leader Wang, with his eleven soldiers under command, was patrolling the area. Jian Lan was also in the ranks.
Currently serving as deputy, Jian Lan had Team Leader Wang above him, and to ascend to full rank was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
After receiving a secret ssage from the people at Prince Liu Mansion, Team Leader Wang imdiately led his soldiers to the pre-set ambush point. As early as last night, he had treated his ten regular soldiers to drinks.
And he had arranged and clarified the matter of assassinating Chu Feng.
Only Jian Lan was kept in the dark, treated like a fool and manipulated by them.
"Listen, I have just received word that a great thief will be passing through the alley ahead! Our mission is to capture or shoot to kill!"
"Vice Captain Chu Jianlan, heed my command—you lead your brothers into ambush. The mont that top-notch bandit appears, strike imdiately!"
Team Leader Wang quickly arrived at the pre-arranged ambush spot with his n.
After everything was set, he deliberately left the group to patrol elsewhere.
However, despite the wait, Chu Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Just as Team Leader Wang was growing impatient, a big chief from the Blood Sword Gang appeared.
This big chief was nad Yuan Huan and was the local thug in charge of this street.
Humming a tune, he passed by with two of his underlings. Upon spotting Team Leader Wang, who was waiting to take a shot at Chu Feng, he imdiately welcod him with a smile, "Lord Wang, is it your turn to patrol today?"
For these hooligans, maintaining good relations with the officials was one of the rules for survival.
Yuan Huan usually had a close relationship with Team Leader Wang, secretly exchanging so shady benefits.
"Head Yuan, it’s you! Look at that cheerful face of yours; you must be living the good life!" Sotis, Team Leader Wang actually envied Yuan Huan. He had an easier life than him.
"Heh heh, all thanks to your blessings, Lord Wang!"
Yuan Huan’s eyes rolled around, and after checking his surroundings, he pulled Team Leader Wang aside and whispered mysteriously, "Lord Wang, I have always been under your care. Why don’t you arrange things, and I’ll treat you to relax a bit, how about that?"
Upon discussing such matters, a crafty smile spread across Yuan Huan’s face.
Team Leader Wang’s face also showed a tempted expression. However, thinking about the importance of today’s mission, he hesitated, "I’m afraid I can’t take ti off!"
"What can’t you take ti off from? At most, it will only take about two hours!"
"Don’t you have a vice-captain?"
Under Yuan Huan’s persuasion, how could Team Leader Wang hold back?
He gladly accepted, laughing, "Haha, younger brother Yuan is indeed considerate! If there’s anything you need in the future, just one word." Team Leader Wang was also cautious in his dealings. He imdiately called a few trusted n to his side and instructed them in a low voice, "Rember, as soon as you see anyone wearing the uniform of the Alchemy Academy, don’t care who it is, just shoot them to death with random arrows!"
"Once you’ve made a great achievent, your rewards will certainly not be lacking!"
After giving his instructions, he ordered Chu Jianlan to hold her position firmly.
"Stand guard attentively, I will take a look around nearby!" After saying this, he left with Yuan Huan and the others to go to Baijiao Building.
On the way, when they were about to arrive at Baijiao Building, Team Leader Wang glanced at his official uniform and started worrying again.
"I’m on duty. If I enter Baijiao Building wearing this governnt uniform and soone sees , it won’t be good! I must change clothes first!"
Yuan Huan had been waiting for him to say this and quickly agreed, "That’s easy! I’ll have my n bring you a set of clothes imdiately!"
"You two, find a way to steal a set of inconspicuous clothes from nearby right now. Rember, keep it low-key and avoid drawing attention."
Before long, two little punks brought a set of clothes.
Team Leader Wang took off his uniform and picked up the new clothes, "Hey, why did you steal a set of student attire? Isn’t this what students from the Alchemy Academy wear?"
"Lord Wang, you might not be aware, but finding a set of clothes at short notice isn’t easy. To ensure that others can’t recognize you, that’s even harder."
"This student uniform will allow you to look much younger. Even if you ran into your lady, she probably wouldn’t recognize you!"
