Chapter 169
Then he looked at Brother Sikong Changfeng and asked with a smile:
"Third City Lord, do you have something to say to this Sixth Imperial Prince of Northern Li?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words,
Brother Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se looked at Jiang Chen at the same time.
And Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, and Wuxin looked at Xiao Se in shock.
The three of them didn't know that Xiao Se was the Sixth Imperial Prince of the Northern Li Dynasty.
Xiao Se looked at Jiang Chen and said in surprise: "You actually know my identity?"
Jiang Chen looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, but continued to look at Brother Sikong Changfeng.
"How did you know I had something to say to Xiao Se?"
Brother Sikong Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen helplessly.
He even had a feeling that whatever he was thinking right now, this kid might know it.
Seeing Brother Sikong Changfeng's expression,
Jiang Chen said calmly: "Since the Third City Lord dared to bring Xiao Se to Snow Moon City knowing his identity, you clearly had already made up your mind."
Having said this,
Jiang Chen paused and continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, the Third City Lord is preparing to take the Sixth Imperial Prince as a disciple and then support him through the status of being his master, right?"
Sure enough,
Brother Sikong Changfeng sighed.
He knew this kid would guess it again.
"Since you've already guessed it, what do you think?"
Brother Sikong Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen, wanting to hear Jiang Chen's opinion.
If it were before,
he could have made the decision all by himself.
After all, whether it was Tang Lian or Lei Wujie,
after executing this mission to escort Wuxin, their relationship was clearly extraordinary.
Plus, Xiao Se's master was also the head of the Hundred-Knowledge Hall, Ji Ruofeng, the former White Tiger among the Four Guardians of Tianqi.
And at that time, Xiao Se's master and imperial uncle, Prince Langya, had secretly agreed with the original Four Guardians of Tianqi before he died that the successors of the Four Guardians would assist Xiao Chuhe, which was Xiao Se now, to ascend the throne.
So it could be said that,
unless Xiao Se stayed in the Snow-Falling Shanzhuang and hid his name for the rest of his life,
otherwise,
as long as he stepped into the public eye, Snow Moon City only had two choices.
Either continue as before, just being the number one Jianghu city and never interfering in court affairs, or get involved and support the Sixth Imperial Prince Xiao Se.
However, now,
as if it were destined by fate, Lei Wujie happened to walk into the Snow-Falling Shanzhuang where Xiao Se was living in seclusion on his way to Snow Moon City.
Subsequently,
when the two went to Snow Moon City together, they happened to meet Tang Lian, who was executing a mission.
It could be said that
such a coincidence was unexpected even by the three City Lords of Snow Moon City.
However,
Jiang Chen knew
that Xiao Se and Lei Wujie going to Snow Moon City together wasn't really because of the 500 taels of silver compensation needed for the damage caused to the Snow-Falling Shanzhuang during Lei Wujie's fight with the robbers.
After all,
when Lei Wujie entered the Snow-Falling Shanzhuang,
the money he had on him was only enough for a bowl of plain noodles.
Yet Xiao Se, as the owner of the villa, demanded 500 taels in compensation right away.
If one said he didn't have any ulterior motives, Jiang Chen wouldn't believe it.
Back then at the Snow-Falling Shanzhuang,
Lei Wujie destroyed the tables and chairs in the villa because of his fight with the robbers who came to rob the Snow-Falling Shanzhuang.
Xiao Se therefore directly demanded 500 taels in compensation from Lei Wujie.
Unfortunately, Lei Wujie didn't have that much money on him at the time.
Thus,
Xiao Se followed Lei Wujie to Snow Moon City to get the 500 taels of silver.
So,
from the moment Xiao Se learned that Lei Wujie was a disciple of the Lei family of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall,
he had actually already started thinking about borrowing the power of Snow Moon City.
Or rather, borrowing the power of the Azure Dragon and Zhu Que among the Four Guardians, which were Li Hanyi, who was temporarily acting as the Azure Dragon for her mother Li Xinyue, and Brother Sikong Changfeng, who was the Zhu Que.
Even Baili Dongjun, as well as Snow Moon City's allies, the Lei family, the Tang Men, and the Lingnan Wen family, could all be within his calculations.
As for why Xiao Se wanted to leave Snow Moon City,
there were only two reasons.
One was to seek justice for Prince Langya, and the other was to find the culprit who destroyed his hidden meridians back then.
Perhaps Xiao Se didn't have any malice in wanting to borrow the power of Snow Moon City.
But in Jiang Chen's view, that was not the case.
Court affairs were always treacherous and changeable, not to mention things like seeking justice for Prince Langya and involving the struggle for the throne.
If it weren't for him,
with the slightest carelessness, Snow Moon City could face the danger of destruction.
He didn't believe Xiao Se wouldn't think of this.
Of course,
because the Prince Langya treason case involved Li Hanyi's mother Li Xinyue and Brother Sikong Changfeng, the two of the Four Guardians of Tianqi,
Jiang Chen wasn't an unreasonable person.
It wasn't impossible for Snow Moon City to get involved.
But if the other party wanted to pat their butt and leave after achieving their goal, there was no such good thing in the world.
Thinking of this,
Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Se and said calmly: "Since the Third City Lord wants to know my opinion, then I will state my decision."
"I have two plans for the Sixth Imperial Prince to choose from."
"First, our Snow Moon City can help you, but in the end, the Emperor of the Northern Li Dynasty will be you, or you can find someone else to be it, but Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu are not allowed, because even if these two don't die in the struggle for the throne, I will kill them both in the end."
"Second, our Snow Moon City will not interfere in court affairs, but I can tell you the culprit who hurt you back then; as for who ends up on the throne, it's none of my business, but as I said, I will definitely kill the two princes, Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu!"
After saying this,
Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Se and asked with a smile: "Sixth Imperial Prince, which plan do you choose?"
