Chapter 638 Rumors 4
Late at night, at the residence of the Eighth Wise Kings.
The Eighth Wise King looked at the quiet courtyard outside and sighed helplessly.
"Haha, it seems that Lucius has failed!"
"Your Majesty, we could have seen Lucius's failure a long time ago."
"However, Lu Xiu's failure also illustrates one problem, which is... entering the government office to assassinate Jiang Chen will definitely not succeed!"
"This is useful news for us!" Yao Chao said respectfully.
“Haha, Yao Chao, your words are useful, but you didn’t tell me how to get rid of Jiang Chen!” The Eighth Wise King laughed coldly.
"This……"
When Yao Chao heard what the Eighth Wise King said, his face turned a little unhappy.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have thought of a solution!" Yao Chao said after taking a deep breath!
"Oh!? What can I do?!"
"Come and tell me!"
When the Eighth Wise King heard what Yao Chao said, he was immediately delighted!
"Your Majesty, if we don't want to be exposed now, we'd better ask the Lu family for help!"
"Let Lucius take action!"
Yao Chao said in a deep voice.
"Haha, let Lucius take action?"
The Eighth Wise King sneered disdainfully.
"Mr. Yao, you have seen that Lu Xiu is a waste!"
"Forget about dealing with Jiang Chen. He can't even save himself!"
"You...you still count on him!?"
"Come on!"
Yao Chao looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then...then I'll think of another way!"
After saying this, Yao Chao left with a heavy face!
"waste!"
The Eighth Wise King looked at Yao Chao's departing back and cursed him coldly!
And this is because Yao Chao did not hear these words, otherwise Yao Chao would probably be furious!
However, after Yao Chao returned to the room, he took out a letter!
……
Looking at the letter in his hand, Yao Chao felt mixed emotions.
This letter was sent by Mrs. Shao.
Mrs. Shao said in the letter that the Eighth Wise King was by no means a wise leader and hoped that Yao Chao would follow her.
In fact, in addition to gratitude, Yao Chao also felt a little bit of affection for Mrs. Shao!
The first time he saw Mrs. Shao, he fell in love with her.
However, at that time, Mrs. Shao had already married into the Shao family.
And he is just a down-and-out scholar!
Now, Mrs. Shao has become a widow, and he... is left alone...
When Yao Chao thought about this, his face gradually became excited!
If he goes to see Mrs. Shao, then... will there be a chance?
When Yao Chao thought of this, his face lit up with joy.
But he knew too many secrets of the Eighth Wise Kings. If he wanted to leave, the Eighth Wise Kings would never agree!
He must choose a good way to leave...
The next morning, Jiangnan, Jinling County.
Early in the morning, two pieces of news began to spread in Jinling County. One was that... Jiang Chen encountered an assassination attempt on his way to Jinling, and the person who did it was... the Eighth Wise King!
In addition, the horrific massacre at the Ye family was also committed by the Eighth Wise King!
As soon as these two pieces of news came out, the entire Jinling County exploded instantly!
"Tell me, is the Eighth Sage King really trying to harm Lord Jiang?"
"No way! The Eighth Wise King is very good to us!"
"Yes, during the drought, the Eighth Wise King also protected many people!"
"Humph! The Eighth Wise King is just trying to win people's hearts! It is said that he wants to be the emperor!"
"What!? He wants to rebel!"
"If that's the case, Lord Jiang's assassination might really be related to him!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! The Eighth Wise King, turns out to be a bad guy!"
……
The people of Jinling County are talking about it endlessly!
The Eighth Wise King soon learned the news!
Although he really did it!
But now that the news has come out, the result is different!
"Damn it! Who is causing trouble in secret?!"
"Who wants to tarnish my reputation?"
The Eighth Wise King roared angrily!
"Your Majesty, this news has now spread throughout the entire Jinling County and is spreading towards Yangzhou and Suzhou!"
"You must prepare early!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Jiang Chen has a high reputation in Jiangnan!"
"If you are charged with these crimes, I'm afraid the people of Jiangnan will no longer love you as much as before!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The Eighth Wise King's men were all talking at once.
"enough!"
"Don't I know what you are talking about?!"
"This king does not need your reminders!"
"What the king wants is a solution!"
"Do you understand!?"
The Eighth Wise King roared angrily!
"This……"
When everyone heard what the Eighth Wise King said, they all fell silent.
"Get out! Get out!"
When the Eighth Wise King saw that no one spoke, his tone became even colder!
Those people did not dare to offend the angry Eighth Wise King, and they all left in a hurry!
After everyone left, the Eighth Wise King's expression became even uglier!
"Damn you bastard!"
"Not even one useful one!?"
"By the way! Where is Mr. Yao?"
"Hurry up and invite Mr. Yao over!"
The Eighth Wise King finally remembered Yao Chao!
Before his servants could take any action, Yao Chao had already walked in!
"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask, I am here!"
Yao Chao said with a smile on his face after seeing the Eighth Wise King.
……
"Mr. Yao! You are finally here!"
"In the current situation, what should we do? "
The Eighth Wise King asked anxiously.
When Yao Chao saw the Eighth Wise Kings acting like this, he was filled with disdain!
When the Eighth Wise King really used him, he remembered his good points!
Isn't this the time to slap him and kill him like I did two days ago?!
"Your Majesty, this matter has now spread all over Jiangnan!"
“No matter who did this, I think they only have one purpose, which is to make you and Jiang Chen antagonize each other, or even to take direct action!”
"So, we must do the opposite!" Yao Chao said calmly.
"How can we do the opposite?" the Eighth Wise King asked hurriedly.
"It's easy!"
Yao Chao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please host a banquet tonight and invite Jiang Chen to drink with you!"
"As long as outsiders see you two talking and laughing, all the rumors will naturally be dispelled!"
"What!? The king invites Jiang Chen to drink!?"
The Eighth Wise King's face changed drastically when he heard this!
"Mr. Yao, you are not making fun of me!?"
"Then Jiang Chen must hate me to death now!"
"If I invite him to dinner at this time, will he come back?"
"What if he attacks me at the banquet..."
The Eighth Wise King felt horrified at the thought.
“Haha, please rest assured, Your Majesty, Jiang Chen will never refuse, nor will he attack you!”
Yao Chao explained with a smile: "Your Highness, Jiang Chen has been secretly investigating since he came to Jinling, and he was investigating the affairs of the Ye family, not the assassination."
"This means that, at least in Jiangnan, Jiang Chen doesn't want to fight with you!"
"Otherwise, no matter how powerful Jiang Chen is, he won't be able to walk out of Jiangnan alive!"
