Chapter 19. Zheng Qing's Plan

Listening to Zheng Qing's displeased voice, the spy kneeling below continued his report, "Yes, master, General Ning Shen did fall into our trap by the detailed calculations of Lord Lu Chen and combated three thousand Mongols independently, but he unfortunately survived and decapitated Lord Lu Chen after coming back."

"It is verified that Advisor Lu didn't speak about us."

Zheng Qing's eyes grew dark, that man still survived while battling such a large group of troops, he wasn't barely an enemy but a threat to his plan, but is it an accident that Ning Shen found out Advisor Lu was the culprit or did they know already?

"When did General Ning Shen return?

"It's been three days since he returned, master."

"It took you three days to know?" Zheng Qing grimaced his teeth, it took him five years to collect sufficient Ministers and backers to make him climb to the position of Grade-2 Minister! He has to do everything further carefully for fear the Emperor might doubt him, after all, he is the nephew and can still sit on the throne.

After a while of silence, Zheng Qing spoke, "Send someone to keep an eye on Minister Nibg's mansion from today on, try to find out if Ning Shen has been wounded severely."

"Yes, master." The spy below withdrew.

The careless Prince is not as simple to control as he used to be. Is the throne going to be passed to such an incapable Prince? Zheng Qing couldn't help speculating about what Han Yu said to him, he doesn't need to barely be a powerful Minister by controlling the Prince, he could simply become the Emperor and take the huge responsibility of the Prince.

Zheng Qing believed in his hard work from childhood and his comprehensive ability to deal with court issues. If the throne is to be passed to him he can carry this country's subjects to create better unity and prosperous life. He could furthermore marry Han Yu and make her the queen rather than the Prince.

Zheng Qing thought of contacting all his assisting Ministers and thinking of a solution to corner the Ning family.

Xiao Shu and Ning Juan are having a soul to soul discussion here, where Xiao Shu's soul is exhausted and Ning Juan who can't help but warn Xiao Shu of all the threats that can be resulted in by her trip here of how the Zheng Qing faction wants to seize her throne. Xiao Shu's complexion has already gone rigid, this old man theorizes everything.

Of course, it was rigid, Xiao Shu has been smiling for the past two hours waiting for her beloved Uncle to halt, Xiao Shu guessed that this uncle might actually count his steps as he walks at this rate.

Listening to Uncle Ning Juan's speech, Xiao Shu couldn't help but remember her old Cultivation Master's babble's whenever she sneaked out of the sect.

Xiao Shu glimpsed at Ning Shen, who was squatting on her left, he was leaning on the wall and his head slightly lowered while browsing a book with great interest, he made it difficult for Ning Juan to see clearly what he was reading.

After bending slight back, Xiao Shu could see what this great General was reading, it was porn, Xiao Shu's face did not reveal a tint of red, she was from the Demon Sect, a sect filled with fugitives, madmen and charming beauties, It was common for Xiao Shu to see people banging while wandering in her sect.

Feeling that this was the opportunity to break her Uncle Juan from his non-stop talking, she utilized her spiritual vitality to blow the book.

"Ouch-.." Ning Juan who was explaining all his strategies was abruptly hit by something, grabbing it, his face instantly turned red and furious!
