Chapter 99 - 98 1 Disagree!



If there was someone who wished to oust Commanding Officer Qian Ning from his position, there would certainly be no shortage of candidates.

It could be one of the ministers from the court, the imperial censors of the Ducal Palace, the Supervisors of the Two Factories, and so on.

After all, as the commanding officer of the Brocade Guards, the emperor’s personal troops, and wielding the powerful Brocade Guards which operate independently of the court, he has already caused many to fear and envy him. Added to this is his domineering manner, which has certainly offended many.

However, the many heavyweights in the court are well aware that the person who most wants to topple Commanding Officer Qian Ning isn’t any of those previously mentioned, but rather the Commanding Officer Jiang Bin standing before Pei Xuanjing.

Although both men were favored by the emperor because of Qian Ning’s recommendation, leading to rapid promotions and quickly becoming one of the top figures in the Brocade Guards.

However, precisely because of this, Jiang Bin, who was originally a subordinate of Commanding Officer Qian Ning, became someone with equal standing, even threatening his position, something Qian Ning could not tolerate.

So, ever since Jiang Bin took office as the command officer, he has been continuously suppressed by Qian Ning. But Jiang Bin is not one to be messed with either, naturally, he fought back.

As a result, the struggle between the two has intensified and even become public knowledge to all.

Even the emperor has heard rumors of their competition, yet his reaction has been peculiarly indifferent, turning a blind eye and letting things take their course.

“So, Brother Jiang, you believe that even if you accuse him openly, it won’t draw the emperor’s attention, and might even be seen as you trying to stir up trouble and make false accusations.” Pei Xuanjing understood the other party’s concerns.

Jiang Bin nodded and said, “Moreover, we are now far from Tiandu, allowing the other party ample time to clean up their mess. There’s no way for us to get any solid evidence.”

It’s already been several months since the people of the underworld were caught, and although messages have been passed on from his plants in the Mire Sect, those plants have not managed to survive.

Currently, there is no evidence to convict the other party.

“Moreover, isn’t the other party in Tiandu, reflecting behind closed doors?” Jiang Bin spoke up leisurely.

The other party has just taken the blame for the emperor and endured his punishment, so it’S the perfect time for them to be in favor.

If one cannot find any evidence pehaps not only would it be impossible to bring the other party down, but one might even be evenly counterattacked.

Pei Xuanjing understood and asked curiously, “Then, the reason why Brother Jiang summoned me here today is because you want to use my hand, right?”

“Indeed, that’s exactly my intention.” Jiang Bin admitted truthfully.

Pei Xuanjing retorted, “The emperor favors Brother Jiang and you can’t do anything. Will he believe what I say?”

If Qian Ning was one of the instigators of the assassination attempt, Pei Xuanjing would naturally not let him off the hook just because of his position. He would also be willing to join forces with Jiang Bin to eliminate Qian Ning.

But to Pei Xuanjing, Jiang Bin’S idea seemed a bit funny. He didn’t believe that by saving the emperor’s life, the emperor would listen to him and remove a trusted commanding officer.

If it was not pleasant to hear, if Jiang Bin revealed this matter, the emperor might even think of it as a political struggle between them.

But if he were to speak up, in the end the person who got removed might even be himself.

“Not necessarily.” Jiang Bin shook his head. He knew that Pei Xuanjing’s status was not enough to reveal this matter, even if he was already at the top of the Great Ming.

“Hm?” Pei Xuanjing was puzzled.

Jiang Bin laughed and said, “It’s said that Mr. Pei and the right Shilang (deputy minister) of the Ministry of Personnel, Gu Ji, are very good friends. Does Mr. Pei know that he not only used to be an imperial censor in the Ducal Palace but is also currently favored by the Minister of the Ministry of

War and seems to intend to transfer him to the Ministry of War as the left Shilang (deputy minister). If so…

“I don’t agree!”

Without waiting for Jiang Bin to finish speaking, Pei Xuanjing firmly rejected it.

He understood the other party’s intention. Gu Ji had been an imperial censor for the Ducal Palace and was about to be transferred to the Ministry of War, backed by powerful supporters. If Gu Ji were used to expose this matter, it would surely garner the support of the civil officials at the court.

“Mr. Pei, why the refusal?” A puzzled look crossed Jiang Bin’s face.

In his opinion, this was an excellent plan. At that time, the whole court would be shaken. Adding Jiang Bin’s tactics for cooperation inside and outside, and there would be a very high probability of overthrowing Qian Ning.

Even if the plan failed, Gu Ji had the support of powerful people, as well as the backing of civil officials. The worst outcome would only be his transfer out of Tiandu.

Pei Xuanjing replied coldly, “This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Gu to begin with, so why should he be implicated?”

At first it was purely a benefit cooperation between him and Gu Ji, but after some time, some of friendship was fostered between them.

During the two years in Tiandu, the two had met many times and their relationship had naturally deepened. It could be said that Gu Ji is one of the few friends that Pei Xuanjing has in this world.

No doubt, even Jiang Bin is wary of a possible counterattack from Qian Ning.

So, if Gu Ji were to be put on the frontline of this scandal this time, what if a desperate Qian Ning decided to fight back?

Although Pei Xuanjing is not afraid, Gu Ji might not be able to resist the attacks coming openly and secretly. He can’t protect Gu Ji up close all the time. After all, it’s always important to be on guard against thieves.

They are both honorable men, so why should they drag each other into this whirlpool.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing could not agree!

Jiang Bin gave a bitter smile and continued to try to persuade him.

However, no matter how he tried to convince him, Pei Xuanjing had the same answer: he couldn’t agree.

“If that’s the case, why not find an opportunity to lure him out of Tiandu, and I can kill him myself!” Frustrated by Jiang Bin’S constant persuasion, Pei Xuanjing coldly threw out a sentence.

Jiang Bin’S expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly stopped him, “Don’t talk nonsense, Mr. Pei!”

At this moment, he realized that the other party is not his subordinate, much less those common second-class martial artists, but a powerful master who can kill a first-grade martial artist at the second-class realm.

For Jiang Bin, his status as an official far outweighs his status as a martial artist, so he naturally couldn’t accept Pei Xuanjing’s approach.

Because he knows what kind of waves such a move would cause.

While he might be able to kill his enemies completely for political struggles, resorting to all kinds of assassinations, he inherently did not want Pei Xuanjing, a clear man of the martial world, to commit such acts.

If an event occurs once, it might occur again. If he could kill Qian Ning today, then in the future, who’s to say he wouldn’t attack others, or even himself?!

“Ha Pei Xuanjing chuckled without saying another word.

In truth, he was not talking nonsense just then, but was seriously considering doing such an act.

If you were to say that before, Pei Xuanjing feared the authorities of the Great Ming due to his lack of strength and feared to bring upon himself a siege.

But from the moment he killed Gong Xingqiu, his state of mind completely changed.

At this moment, he is like a tiger entering a mountain, a dragon entering the sea, breaking the shackles on his body completely. Maybe he still harbors some caution towards the Great Ming, but unlike before, he doesn’t fear them.

If worst comes to worst, he could go into the martial arts world, with a boundless world outside, where he wouldn’t lack for a place to settle..
