its 197: self-reliance

"Uncle Shen, it's not so optimistic, is it?" Cheng Xingxing said with a smile. The king of clouds can tolerate what ordinary people can't bear. What he pretends in his heart must be a great ideal. In order to realize this ideal, he needs opportunities, but he should need all kinds of talents. Don't you think I'm a talent that is difficult to attract the attention of ambitious people?

Shen Dong looked at Cheng Xing and didn't say anything for a long time. He reassessed the young man with superb martial arts in his heart.

"Yes." He nodded slowly, "This is what I'm going to say next. Master Cheng, to be honest, I have no ambition, let alone an ambitious person. All my ideals are to make Tianyin Kingdom a country where Li people can live and work in peace and contentment. In order to realize this ideal, I am willing to work for any ambitious person. But I'm not blind and won't let myself be an accomplice to the wicked. The reason why I turned to the ninth prince is not only because he is the strongest force that can fight against Huo Zhongyang, but also because over the years, when he was playing games in the world, he showed a kind of spirit of the world and compassion for the people. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for me to turn to him, because it's useless to knock down an asshole and build another bastard.

Several young people listened quietly. On the surface, Shen Dong's words had nothing to do with Gangshen Miaomen, but after careful consideration, there was an inevitable connection.

It's just that you have to think about it carefully.

So these young people are thinking, and stars are the fastest people to get results.

"You mean that the goal of the ninth prince is not just to overthrow Huo Zhongyang, but the world today, right?"

"That's right." Shen Dong smiled, "So, if you want to be his person, at least you have the determination to help him dominate the world."

"It's not that I have a problem that I don't want to have, but that I have to get some kind of power to protect my friends." Cheng Xingxing sighed, "But I really don't want to get involved in any political struggle. I know the meaning of what you just said. You want to tell me that helping such people is something to be proud of and beneficial to the country and the people. I believe in your perspective. Well, you can help me contact Sukong City. As his ally, I can help him solve some problems that need to be solved by force.

"Allies?" Shen Dong was stunned, and then smiled: "Master, if you say something unpleasant, are you a little overestimating yourself?"

"Not at all." Cheng Xingxing shook his head. In terms of magic, I'm naturally not a very powerful general, but when it comes to martial arts, I'm afraid that I'm alone and kill nine martial artists, two holy martial arts masters of Tianyin Kingdom at once, plus a super master. I don't know if this achievement is unique in the world, but at least in Tianyin Kingdom. No one can compare with it, right? If he wants to overthrow an emperor, he can't rely on wisdom alone. There must be a time to use force. At this time, I, who is not afraid of the city guard to limit his power, is his best weapon.

"You... make me feel a little scary." Shen Dong looked at him and said, "To be honest, I just wanted to make the stakes of the matter clear and make you aware of it, but I didn't expect... Master Cheng, I really underestimated you."

"Let's put it this way, in order to protect my fellow, I don't mind guest assassins." Cheng Xingxing said.

"I'm actually going to take you to see the ninth prince, but after hearing your words, I began to hesitate." Shen Dong sighed, "I think you... are actually quite terrible."

"You can say whatever you want, but I must see the ninth prince. If you don't want to help with this, I'll find him myself." The star is a little anxious. Only Mulan can see this. Although the star's expression was very calm, he did not grin like a fool.

Mulan understood that only when the boy was really anxious would the expression of the second child completely disappear from his face. He is not a fool, nor a careless person. He is just used to making people around him relaxed in that way.

Now, he put away his smile, which is equivalent to others frowning and staring.

"Are you looking for him yourself?" Shen Dong was stunned, "What does this mean?"

"It means that I will sneak directly into his palace, stand at his bedside and say to him, "Your Majesty, can you do me a favor?" Let me owe you a favor." Cheng Xingxing said.

"Are you really going to do that?" Shen Dong asked.

"Farewell." Cheng Mingxing didn't say a word. He stood up and walked out. Mulan and Xun Xianxue looked at his back in surprise, but after a moment, he stood up without hesitation and followed him out.

"Master, you are..." Shen Yi was anxious and roared at Shen Dong: "Dad, aren't you asking you to introduce our master to the ninth prince? At least it's so hard? Why...why are you so boring!" With that, he stamped his foot and got up to chase the star.

"Yi'er!" Shen Dong stood up and shouted for his daughter, but her daughter ignored him.

"It's not that I don't help!" Shen Dong hurriedly caught up with him, "Master, it's just what you said... It's really outrageous..."

"Boss Shen." Cheng Mingxing turned around and looked at Shen Dong. His eyebrows had frowned slightly: "I'm sorry to bother you. I won't tell anyone that it was your Shen family who told me that the ninth prince is a person with the heart of the world. If you can't buy and sell, benevolence and righteousness are there. Please stay and don't send it. Miss Shen, you don't have to blame your father. It's human.

With that, he turned his head and went. No matter how Shen Yi and Shen Dong called in the back, they always did not look back.

"Isn't it appropriate for you to do this?" After leaving the door of Shen's mansion, Xun Xianxue couldn't help sighing. Aren't we just asking for help?"

"Shin Dong is a good man, but he is a smart and good man. Smart good people are sometimes the same as cunning villains. The difference is only in the goal that good people want to achieve, which can benefit more people, while evil people just let them benefit themselves. Cheng Xingxing said slowly. As he spoke, he walked quickly and quickly turned into an alley.

At this time, Shen Yi just broke away from Shen Dong's pull and chased her out of the gate. However, the long street was full of people, but how could she find a star again?

"Master! The doorkeeper!" She shouted anxiously, walked in the direction of the street, and hurried past the entrance of the alley.

"Look at this girl's hurry." In the alley, Mulan sighed, "She is a good person."

"Xindong is also a good person." Xun Xianxue snorted, "Didn't Cheng Xingxing say it just now?"

"He wanted to attract me. At first, he valued the relationship between the princess and me." Cheng Xingxing said slowly, "Of course, there are some of my own reasons, but that's just a secondary reason. At the beginning, he just wanted to take advantage of me and ask Shen Yi to join the wonderful door, also to secure the bond between him and the princess. When we visited today, he knew that I still had a deeper value to explore, but at the same time, he also realized that I might be an uncontrolled pawn. He dares not master such a pawn. Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves.

"Are you a star?" Xun Xianxue frowned and looked at him. Mulan snorted, "This boy is used to surprising people. You can stay with him and watch it slowly. At first, you can be suddenly shocked by his performance. After a long time, you will get used to it."

"Why am I not me?" Cheng Xingxing grinned and nodded relievedly, "It's okay. It's really you. You'd better keep this stupid smile.

"What's next?" Mu Lan looked at Cheng Cheng Xing, "Do you really want to sneak directly into the palace of King Yunjian?"

"Why not?" The star shook his head for a long time.

"This is also what I suddenly thought of in the conversation just now. In fact, the way to have a relationship with the King of Yunjian is not limited to relying on Shen Dong. He smiled faintly, and the light in his eyes was shrewd. Su Kongcheng is not an ordinary person. For such a person, using some unusual means may achieve good results. Don't ask any more about the specifics. I'll sneak into the Yunjian Palace tonight and see this playboy for a while.

"You...don't make a big deal." Xun Xianxue said worriedly, "Don't solve the problem of Zhang Bolai and Doujunmen, and provoke a king of clouds for yourself. He is not a fool like Zhang Bolai. I'm afraid his strength is far better than that of Tianyin Kingdom.

"I have my own moderation." Cheng Xingxing smiled and sighed. I don't like the feeling of being used by others, really. I used to be very stupid. In order to get friendship, I have always been willing to be fooled by others. I never want to live those days. From now on, everything I want to get depends on my own efforts and my own hands..."

"That's right." Mulan smiled happily, "Although one of these hands can't even hold the chopsticks."

"You are trying to expose my scars!" It's like a star with tears on his face. After the right hand can't be used, eating has always been the most painful thing for becoming a star. It's too cruel for Mulan not to open any pot.

"It's already dark." Xun Xianxue looked up at the sky. There was only a afterglow left in the sunset, and the lights had ignited. Go by yourself? What about the two of us?"

"Let's find a hotel to stay first." Cheng Mingxing took the two out of the alley, casually pulled a passer-by to inquire, and then knew the location of the nearby hotel. After two blocks, the three of them came to the front of an ordinary inn. Immediately, an enthusiastic clerk greeted him. The star smiled and decided it was this one.

When arranging a three-person room, Cheng Xingxing deliberately asked for three windows to be located behind the hotel. He could jump down the window into the backyard room. After telling Mulan and Xun Xianxue to say a few words, he turned off the light, opened the window, and jumped into the empty backyard.

The backyard is full of carriages and horses, surrounded by high walls, only a small door, which is also a big iron lock door. Of course, it is difficult to become a star. Like a hero in a martial arts film, he easily jumped over the high wall and came to the alley outside. After a few turns, he came to the street, which is still very lively at night.

He took out a money bag from his arms and bought a few strings of fried tofu from the vendors selling snacks on the street. At the same time, he also asked the direction of Yunjian Wangfu. While eating, he looked at the night view of the imperial capital, enjoyed the nightlife of Yunsu mainland, and became a star leisurely walking in the direction of Yunjian Wangfu.
