The number one rebel of the Great Wu

"Yes...yes!"

Lin Dequan knelt down and retreated, his heart pounding.

As soon as he was out of Crown Prince Xiao Lie's sight, he immediately scrambled to his feet, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt uneasy.

"It seems we can't reason with the Crown Prince."

"If we want to protect ourselves right now, there is still one way."

Lin Dequan waved his hand, and his eunuch immediately ran over and handed him the key.

"If we can persuade Xiao Gengzi to say a few good words for us, perhaps the Crown Prince will spare me a little."

"This young Gengzi is incredibly cunning...dealing with him will probably be quite difficult!"

Lin Dequan smiled bitterly. What could he do? This was all his own doing!

Without a second thought, Lin Dequan dashed off toward the place where Chen Changgeng was being held.

Fortunately, the place wasn't far, and we arrived in no time.

Hearing someone approaching, followed by the clanking of chains, Chen Changgeng immediately put away the cultivation manual.

He then lay down on the bed, crossed his legs, and looked completely at ease.

"Squeak!"

The door was gently pulled open, and Lin Dequan walked in, bowing slightly with a broad smile on his face.

"Manager Chen?"

Lin Dequan called out cautiously.

Chen Changgeng didn't even glance at him, but simply stretched out his hand and waved in the air.

"Where did these flies come from? They're so annoying!"

Instantly, Lin Dequan looked embarrassed.

He knew that Chen Changgeng was deliberately trying to intimidate him!

"Manager Chen? It's not a fly, it's me!"

In this situation, Lin Dequan has no choice but to accept it, even if he has to hold his nose.

If he doesn't acknowledge it, Chen Changgeng probably won't pay any attention to him.

He can't afford to delay!

"Oh?"

Chen Changgeng smiled slightly and turned his head away.

"Such a large green bottle fly is indeed rare!"

"Get out of here! What you're doing, whining and hawing around me, is basically just calling me shit!"

Lin Dequan was dumbfounded. How could anyone be so difficult to deal with!

I'm caught in a dilemma—neither advancing nor retreating!

"Oh, Manager Chen, please stop joking with us."

"The Crown Prince is looking for you. Why don't you condescend to go there right away?"

Chen Changgeng reached out and scratched his chin, then waved his hand.

"No, no, I'm feeling quite comfortable lying down."

"Go tell the Crown Prince that I've taken a liking to this place where you've imprisoned me, and I don't want to move!"

Lin Dequan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Manager Chen, this is all our fault, it's a huge mistake."

"Please forgive us this time, okay? If I ever cause you trouble again, I'll be your grandson!"

"The Crown Prince is, after all, the master. You can't refuse an audience with him!"

Seeing that he couldn't appease him no matter what he tried, Lin Dequan had no choice but to bring up the Crown Prince.

We can't possibly disregard the Crown Prince's dignity!

If you can't coax them, then don't bother. Let's get the job done first!

Upon hearing this, Chen Changgeng actually sat up immediately and then stretched out his hands in front of him.

"Yes, how could I not go when my master summons me?"

"Come on, Steward Lin, I'm a criminal now, so tie me up properly."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I might go berserk and beat the Crown Prince again."

"This kind of guilt is something neither of us can bear!"

"This, this, this!"

Lin Dequan was so anxious he was about to stomp his feet.

"My dear grandfather, my dear ancestor, how dare you tie me up now!"

"How about this, you tie me to a pillar, and I'll give you a leather whip so you can whip me as much as you want."

"How about we keep pumping until you're comfortable?"

Chen Changgeng chuckled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"I don't have that kind of hobby!"

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. If you don't want to tie me up, then don't."

"However, my legs have gone numb from lying here for so long, and I'm afraid I won't be able to walk now."

"Why don't you carry me to see the Crown Prince?"

Lin Dequan's eyes widened instantly. He was now in his forties or fifties and had been pampered for so long. How could he possibly carry such a strong young man as Chen Changgeng?

They probably wouldn't be able to carry each other for more than a few steps before they both fall down.

If it gets broken again, he'll have another excuse to refuse...

That kid is incredibly cunning!

Just as Lin Dequan was at a loss, a clear female voice suddenly rang out from outside.

"You little eunuch, your official rank is low, but your attitude is quite something!"

Jiang Baiwei snorted coldly and appeared at the door of the room the next second.

She didn't want to wait a moment longer and just wanted to get things done quickly, so she followed Lin Dequan directly over.

Who knew that upon arriving at the destination, I would see this scene before me, and my impression of Chen Changgeng dropped even further!

Chen Changgeng raised an eyebrow, peeked out, and saw no sign of the Crown Prince, guessing that the Crown Prince had already left.

He patted his thigh, put on his shoes and socks, and stood up.

"Miss Jiang, what are you saying?"

"They clearly made things difficult for me first, so can't I even fight back?"

"Whether I resist or not is none of my business, don't waste my time!"

Jiang Baiwei strode into the room, then turned to look at Lin Dequan.

"You, get out."

Lin Dequan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately left, closing the door behind him.

Now, only the two of them remained in the room.

Jiang Baiwei's face was frosty as she looked coldly at Chen Changgeng before asking a question.

"I know my own body best; I'm not sick at all!"

"You little eunuch, what are you trying to do, pretending to be a ghost to fool my grandfather?!"

Inside the room, a cold glint flashed!

Jiang Baiwei's long sword was already drawn!

The thought that yesterday in the palace, this little eunuch had actually fed her honey water with his mouth made her heart churn!

At this moment, all that's needed is to find a reason to stab this little eunuch to death with a single sword!

Now that he possesses internal energy, Chen Changgeng has no fear whatsoever.

Even if she couldn't beat Jiang Baiwei, if she wanted to run away, Jiang Baiwei probably wouldn't be able to stop her.

If he escapes, how could she possibly kill him in broad daylight?

So he immediately snorted coldly.

"You want to kill me? Is General Jiang aware of this?!"

Jiang Baiwei's longsword trembled slightly, and she immediately shouted.

"Grandpa doesn't need to know!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changgeng burst into laughter and immediately took a step forward, pressing his neck against the blade.

"You wouldn't dare kill me!"

Jiang Baiwei was secretly alarmed; of course, she dared to kill her.

Even though he had already drawn his sword, the little eunuch was not afraid at all and even dared to come closer.

His composure in the face of a collapsing mountain was a great surprise to her!

Why?

"A mere eunuch, I can just chop him up."

"Does the Crown Prince really intend to turn against the Jiang family because of you?!"

Jiang Baiwei countered with a question.

"No, that's not it."

"The main problem is that if you kill me, your Jiang family won't be able to go back."

"Your Jiang family soldiers must have suffered considerable losses on the way from Yunzhou, right?"

"There are people in the court who want to deal with you, and you have no way to protect yourself."

"If you are not protected on this trip, every single one of you in the Jiang family will die on the way back to Yunzhou."

Am I right?
