Chapter 616 - 616 Meeting Liu Changqing Again

616 Meeting Liu Changqing Again

Currently, the Daliang Kingdom was the greatest and most powerful kingdom.

Originally, there were sixteen kingdoms. Later on, nine kingdoms were destroyed. Eight of them were split into dozens of small kingdoms, while the ninth kingdom was split into the three kingdoms of Qingyang led by the Qingmiao Kingdom.

Currently, the Qingmiao Kingdom had inherited most of the territory of the former Qingyang Kingdom, as well as various treasures and techniques, as well as a large number of weapons and armies. Therefore, it was the most powerful party.

However, no one had expected the Qingmiao Kingdom to be so ambitious. It actually wanted to become the eighth great kingdom.

“They must be crazy. With the current strength of the Qingmiao Kingdom, it is impossible for them to destroy the other two kingdoms. After all, those two kingdoms have always had a good relationship with the Daliang Kingdom. With the Daliang Kingdom as a deterrent, the Qingmiao Kingdom will not be able to destroy the other two Kingdoms of Qingyang, much less unify them.”

“That’s why they want to force the Dragon Marquis Kingdom to lower its head and reach an agreement… If I’m not wrong, the Qingmiao Kingdom and many of the states, factions, and dukes under the Qing royal family have formed an alliance, right?”

Jiang Ming interrupted Liu Sheng’s words. The latter was stunned at first, but then he reacted and smacked his head.

“If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten about this. Yes, they have already contacted a large number of factions. Their goal is to complete the unification. However, no matter who it is, no one would have thought that the Qingmiao Kingdom would use such a method to back the Dragon Marquis Kingdom into a corner. I’m afraid that their goal is not just to unify the territory of the former Qingyang Kingdom, but also to take another step forward!”

After Jiang Ming’s reminder, Liu Sheng quickly figured out the reason. He immediately exclaimed, “They want to use their troops against the Qingyang Kingdom and the Dragon Marquis Kingdom after unifying them?”

“That’s right, that should be their goal, and I’m just their pawn. Otherwise, would these guys, who only care about power, really lose their minds over some love?”

Jiang Ming sneered. They were all cunning foxes who had lived for hundreds of years. How could they fall in love so easily?

These princesses and princes had been educated from a young age to seek power and hegemony. They would not offend a large sect like the Flowerfruit Sect for a lover.

One had to know that the current Flowerfruit Sect’s strength had already left the Feather Kingdom and had established a strong foundation in the territory of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

If the Qingmiao Kingdom really wanted to touch him, they would definitely be attacked by the Flowerfruit Sect.

“Currently, the Flowerfruit Sect controls two or three small kingdoms. Although their combined military strength is not as strong as the Qingmiao Kingdom, they are not weak either. Once they cause trouble, the Qingmiao Kingdom will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, they will not do such a stupid thing unless there are greater benefits waiting for them. And this benefit is undoubtedly to force the Dragon Marquis Kingdom to join this battle, and even to prepare for taking down the Dragon Marquis Kingdom in the future… If the Qing royal family finds out about this, they probably wouldn’t sit idly by.”

Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows. After all, he was a duke under the Qing royal family and had just been conferred. The Qing royal family would not allow the Dragon Marquis Kingdom to fall.

However, Jiang Ming vaguely felt that something was wrong.

“This matter might have something to do with the Qing royal family.”

Liu Sheng was stunned and fell into deep thought.

Since things had developed to this point, Jiang Ming naturally would not sit still and wait for death.

“An’an, I’ll be depending on you from now on.”

“Don’t worry, with me here, no one can hurt you!”

Zhu An’an’s gaze was extremely determined.

Jiang Ming led Zhu An’an to the venue of the Dragon’s Gate Banquet and asked, “Supervisor Liu, didn’t you say that I would be able to see the owner of your inn as long as I came to the banquet?”

“Haha, Master Ning, don’t worry. When the boss wants to see you, he will naturally appear. If he hasn’t seen you yet, then it’s not the time yet.”

Liu Sheng could not help but laugh. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows.

“Master Ning, there are quite a number of people who have their eyes on you.”

Jiang Ming nodded and said subconsciously, “Almost no one knows that I have come to the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, unless…”

“No, Master Ning, please don’t misunderstand. We definitely didn’t expose your presence!”

Liu Sheng immediately shook his head. “I suspect it’s the princess. And how does she know of your existence? There must be a mastermind behind everything.”

Jiang Ming was a little stunned. After thinking about it carefully, what Liu Sheng said seemed to be correct. He could not help but shake his head and say, “Let’s attend the banquet first. These people will attack me sooner or later anyway.”

He knew very well that the Dragon’s Gate Banquet tonight would not be peaceful. These people would make a move, especially the princess and her group.

“They see me as a pawn? Could it be that the news of the Dragon Sword being obtained by me has spread? If that’s the case, it’s understandable for them to come over to deal with me.”

The Dragon Sword had a wide range of implications. It was very likely that the people of the Battle Marquis Kingdom had their eyes on him.

The banquet soon began.

In the beginning, they basically just ate, drank, and chatted. There was nothing else. As things developed step by step, Jiang Ming quickly froze because he saw a familiar face.

“Liu Changqing!”

Jiang Ming stared at Liu Changqing’s figure. The latter also saw him and immediately walked over with a smile.

“Master Ning, I didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon.”

“I’m afraid that I can’t say the same. I don’t know how you can smile at a time like this.”

Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched. He did not want to bother with this guy at all.

Liu Changqing was not annoyed. He just laughed and said, “Master Ning, you don’t have to be so against me. If we really look back on it, we can be considered friends, right? After all, our common enemy has always been the Feather Kingdom’s royal family. Moreover, there is no enmity between us. If you really think about it, it was your junior, Zhang Shan, who killed my brother, but it has nothing to do with you and me.”

Jiang Ming rolled his eyes. If this guy knew that he was actually Zhang Shan, what would he do? He might immediately draw his sword and attack him.

However, Liu Changqing was obviously acting as if they were friends, which made Jiang Ming a little uncomfortable. He said, “Young Master Liu, please move to the side. I’ve always been clear with my sexuality. I don’t like men like you… You’re just a man with average looks.”

Average looks?

Sexuality?

Liu Changqing’s expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth.

Ning Caichen really deserved to die!
