Chapter 112
When Bai Aji came back with a burp, Chen Jing didn't want to get close to it, and pointed to the side to signal it to stay away from him.
"It seems to have more meat on its body." Xu Ye has been observing Bai Aji, an ancient species.
With her extremely sharp eyesight, she seems to have observed many changes that are easy to overlook.
"The bones have become harder..."
"Is that so?" Chen Jing looked at Bai Aji doubtfully, but didn't see any changes.
"Actually, this is not surprising. After all, for most ancient races, the flesh and blood of the old descendants have a nourishing effect." Xu Ye smiled, then stretched lazily, and the delicate body curves showed the feminine beauty.
"I'll take you home."
"No need." Chen Jing hurriedly shook his head and refused, "We can take a taxi back by ourselves, so we don't bother Sister Xu Ye."
"You call me sister, and you still say whether it's a bother or not..."
Xu Ye smiled and said meaningfully.
"What's more, the people from the hermitage are already outside the mall. If I don't send you back in person, you might get into trouble..."
"Okay... Then I'll trouble Sister Xuye." Chen Jing scratched his head, feeling that there were enough things to do today. If he added fuel to the fire for those people from the hermitage, there would probably be trouble.
Xuye nodded and waited patiently for Chen Jing and his friends to pick up all the things they bought today.
Then the group left the mall with large and small shopping bags.
As Xuye said.
The mall was much busier outside than inside.
The cross street had been blocked by hundreds of security guards, and a familiar face could be vaguely seen sitting in a jeep not far away.
That was Yugui.
"Ah Jing, look, if your sister didn't take you out, wouldn't those monks cause trouble for you?" Xuye raised his hand and pointed outside the blockade, where a huge crowd of people stood, almost all dressed as monks.
"My grandfather asked me to light a fire." Chen Jing said in a low voice.
"This fire is well lit."
Xu Ye turned his head to look at him, and seeing his harmless appearance, he could not help but suddenly raised his hand to touch his head, and it felt soft.
But Chen Jing's reaction was like a stressed cat. He quickly turned his head and took a step to the side, with an embarrassed expression.
"Seeing your innocent and ignorant face... I thought you would be so simple... I didn't expect you to have the courage to use yourself as a bargaining chip..."
Xu Ye was not annoyed when he saw Chen Jing avoiding him as if he was running for his life. Instead, he thought it was quite interesting to tease this brother.
At this moment.
The indignant monks were reflected on her thin-rimmed glasses.
"This time, the Pope may bleed a little."
Chapter 126 Gradual Cannibalization
"So, you did this on purpose?"
"Yeah."
"Fuck you... are you crazy?!"
In Chen Jing's house.
Three people were sitting around the coffee table in the living room.
Except for Chen Bofu who sat on the sofa, Chen Jing and Xu Ye each brought a small stool and sat opposite each other around the coffee table.
Wei Nan, Yan Que, Ryan.
They had been called away by the old man.
At this moment.
There were only three of them in the living room.
"Grandpa, don't be angry..." Chen Jing felt a little nervous when he saw the old man getting angry.
After all, he knew the old man's temper very well, and he would never curse him unless he was angry.
"How can I not be angry?!"
Chen Bofu was so angry that his teeth were almost broken, especially after seeing the scars on Chen Jing's abdomen, and then hearing Xu Ye's supplements...
I.
Chen Bofu.
The most ruthless character in the entire Yongye City.
He almost had his grandson killed.
"I'm going to raid the nest of the hermitage tonight!!!" Chen Bofu continued to exude a terrifying aura, his eyes were red as if he wanted to eat people, as if he wanted to peel off the skin of the Pope right now.
"Don't!" Chen Jing hurriedly advised, "If you go to trouble the hermitage now, won't all our preparations be in vain?"
"What preparations?" Chen Bofu frowned.
"Before I came back, I told Sister Xuye that she also thought that gradual progress is the most reliable..." Chen Jing whispered, "Besides, the current situation is almost clear. If you jump out and take the blame... you will get into trouble."
That's right.
On the way back.
Chen Jing and Wei Nan got into two separate cars.
Taking advantage of being alone.
Xuye took the initiative to talk to Chen Jing about some major events related to the changes in the situation in Yongye.
It was also from then on.
As the chief of public security, Xuye finally understood that Chen Bofu's grandson might not be strong, but his brain was definitely enough.
"Eternal Night, Polar Day, and Hanging Sky."
"The three cities are all being eroded by their respective indigenous sects."
"Among them, Polar Day and Hanging Sky City are the most severely eroded. The parliaments in those two cities are basically in name only, and the ruling power has long been in the hands of the indigenous sects..."
Listening to Chen Jing's story, Chen Bofu lit a cigarette and smoked with a frown, with an impatient expression on his old face.
"Is there any need to say this! Isn't the situation obvious!"
"It's not that simple." Chen Jing said calmly, "I remember you told me before that the hermitage had contact with [Great Buddha Mother Temple] and they had cooperation, but then it ended..."
"I also asked Sister Xu Ye before. In the past two years, the monastery's attitude towards the other two sects has always been very subtle, and it is not interested in the olive branches they extended."
Chen Bofu took a puff of cigarette and his expression slowly relaxed.
"So I have a guess."
Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man's expression looked better.
"Actually, these sects are also wary of each other. The Priory is unwilling to accept their help. It is probably because they are afraid of getting involved too much with them, which will lead to themselves being cannibalized by them..."
"It's possible." A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Bofu's eyes, as if he didn't expect that this seemingly ignorant and stupid grandson could think of this.
Chen Dingding nodded and continued to explain patiently.
Sects are less thirsty for power.
The only thing that can interest them is faith, so competing for believers is crucial to them.
In the eyes of the other two sects.
Eternal Night City is a piece of cake that is temporarily occupied by others...
"For so many years, the Hermitage has not been able to cannibalize the Yongye Council. It will indeed be looked down upon by outsiders, so it is inevitable that they will have ideas, such as joining forces to conquer Yongye first and then divide the world into two parts..."
"The Priory is probably worried about this, so it has never dared to break out into a large-scale conflict with the Parliament, for fear of being taken advantage of by outsiders."
"Then what are we going to do?" Chen Boxu asked directly.
It was easy and casual for him to kill people, but hearing these convoluted things really gave him a headache.
"Without your help, the Council will try its best to maintain a short-term peace with the Priory, but sooner or later, they will be gradually cannibalized by the Priory."
Chen Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly.
"But with you as a support, everything will be different."
"What do you want me to do?" Chen Boxu asked.
"On the surface, let the council stabilize the monastery. Secretly, we will find some opportunities to provoke..."
Chen Jing's smile was still so harmless, but the plan he revealed sounded sinister.
"I heard from Sister Xu Ye that in recent months, the Priory has had several conflicts with the other two sects. The general reasons are...those sects wanted to enter Yongye City and take root here, but they were all rejected by the Priory. people were kicked out.”
"Half a month ago, the Arhat of the [Big Buddha Mother Temple] had a conflict with the second bishop of the monastery outside the city. They fought on the spot and killed many people. They have formed a friendship..."
"As long as we use the temple's cover to do some immoral things, the monastery will naturally focus its attention outside, and it will take less action against the Eternal Night Council, and our opportunities will increase."
"Immoral things..." Chen Bofu looked thoughtful.
"For example, intercept and kill some monastic teams outside the city, or find an opportunity to blow up their cathedral." Chen Jing said calmly.
"This should be suspected, right?" Chen Boxu murmured, "Those turtles are not that stupid, maybe..."
"Just borrow that Arhat's skin." Chen Jing said with a smile, "First find an opportunity to kill him, then let him disappear from the world, and then do it..."
"But I always feel that those grandsons will doubt me." Chen Bofu scratched his head, "Usually only I dare to do such crazy things."
"Just leave a few clues, half true and half false. Even if they suspect it, they can't be sure. And in the process...Sister Xuye and the others will agree to the [Big Buddha Mother Temple]'s application to move in."
"Are you crazy?" Chen Bofu was startled and looked at Xu Ye, "Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, right?"
"Fake."
Xuye smiled, as if he had already guessed that Chen Bofu would ask this question.
"Pretend to agree first, and then slowly go through the procedures. The application for settlement will not be processed for ten and a half years, but we can ask them to send a group of monks here first..."
"Just like the team of monks led by the Arhat." Chen Jing said with a smile, "They are the closest to Yongye City, and most likely they are the ones who come here to complete the procedures."
"Fuck."
Chen Boxu felt a little headache, but everything Chen Jing said before seemed to be connected again...
"Let the monastery feel that there are powerful enemies around, and give them the illusion that a foreign sect is about to invade Eternal Night. Then we will pretend to be a monastery and make these monks disappear. After that... put on the skin of the monks and find an opportunity to go The Priory’s residence is doing great things.”
"At that time, the Hermitage may fall out with the [Great Buddha Mother Temple], and the temple will think that the Hermitage is declaring war on them. After all, this group of monks disappeared in Yongye City... By the way, When the time comes, remember to keep a few alive and let them go after performing the show.”
"Aren't you afraid of their confrontation?" Chen Boxu asked.
"There are so many lies in this world, and confrontation is useless. What's more, they are already in a state of competition, and Jishi is too far away from us. The temple's response will not come until at least a year and a half later. …”
A year and a half.
There is indeed a lot that can be done.
"During this period, the Hermitage will definitely not dare to cause trouble to the Parliament, nor to us. After all, they also know that our Chen family is now on the same side as the Parliament..."
"If an internal fight breaks out in Yongye, both sides have no chance of winning. Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. But if we don't fight, at least there will be some buffer room."
"The pope is not a fool, he should know how to choose, so we will definitely be in a short honeymoon period."
At this time, Xu Ye, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, smiling more relaxed than ever before.
"A honeymoon period of a year or so is enough for us to slowly eat away at the Priory."
"We?" Chen Bofu sneered at the word.
"Yes, we."
Xu Ye nodded and looked at Chen Bofu.
"As long as you dismantle the time bomb of the Priory, half of Evernight City will belong to you."
