Chapter 251 Design
It was late at night and everything was quiet. Zhao Ji was unaware of the "Cat Substituted Prince" incident that had occurred in the Xiuzhenfang during the day.

He came here to find Xiaofeng and ask her to help kill Jingkong to silence him, so as to re-enact the scene of the snake spirit contact two days later.

The night was as dark as ink, the streets were empty, and only the sound of night watchmen beating in the distance echoed slowly, adding a bit of loneliness to the quiet night.

A black shadow shuttled silently in the dark night. Zhao Ji's skills in stealth and hiding his body were no less than Kui Wenzhong's.

However, when he stepped into the courtyard, he was confused. The room was empty and it was obvious that no one had left.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but frown. He remembered that Di Renjie went to the East Palace and met the fake prince before leaving for Liuzhou.

This means that the prince has been replaced, and Xiaofeng is no longer in the cultivation workshop, right?
Just as Zhao Ji was hesitating, a slight sound suddenly came from behind, breaking the silence around him.

He turned around suddenly and saw Xiao Feng standing quietly behind him, saying with a hint of anger: "If you come any later, I won't wait for you!"

"Your plan has been successful. Are you ready to move?" Zhao Ji asked casually.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng looked him over carefully and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Zhao Ji smiled lightly, with a helpless look in his eyes: "Do you still need to ask? The room is empty!"

"Tsk~" Xiao Feng made a disdainful face, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and after some inner struggle, he finally spoke: "Actually, I came here tonight because I want to ask you for help with something."

"Hmph, it's true that no one comes to see you for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?" Although Xiao Feng was harsh in her words, she did not refuse.

Zhao Ji's expression became serious. He looked at Xiao Feng seriously and asked, "Do you know Jingkong?"

"Jingkong?" Unexpectedly, Xiaofeng seemed to be unaware of this person.

Zhao Ji looked at her in surprise and blinked: "You don't know?"

Xiao Feng shook her head in confusion and asked, "I have never heard of this name. Who is Jing Kong?"

Zhao Ji started to explain, "Jingkong is the inner guard in charge of guarding Yuan Tiangang in Hanguang Temple. He is also a member of the Snake Spirit. According to him, he was also the personal guard of my 'father'!"

"There are still people from the Snake Spirit in Hanguang Temple?" Xiaofeng was surprised.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath when he heard this, and rubbed his chin with his fingers: "Even you sisters don't know about this person. It seems that the situation among the snake spirits is much more complicated than I thought!"

When Xiao Feng heard this, she rolled her eyes at Zhao Ji again: "Alas, it's all because of you. My sister and I have always been awkward in Sheling, and we have kept some distance from Xiao Qingfang, Kui Wenzhong and the others..."

Zhao Ji didn't take it seriously and said, "This is a good thing. There is no benefit in getting too entangled with them."

"You haven't told me what help you need from me yet?" Xiao Feng asked again without refuting.

Zhao Ji made a throat-slitting gesture: "That Jingkong has discovered my identity, and he must be eliminated! Jingkong and I have agreed that he will contact the people of the Snake Spirit at the Yuan Mansion at the hour of Hai in two days..."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn't wait to ask, "Do you want me to go to the meeting and get rid of that Jing Kong?"

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "We have to get rid of him, but we can't get rid of him as soon as we meet him. We have to wait until Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang show up before we take action!"

"Why?" Xiao Feng was surprised.

Zhao Ji frowned, his worry evident in his expression: "Because the Snake Spirit doesn't know that Jing Kong's identity has been exposed yet. If I get rid of him rashly, Di Gong will definitely get suspicious. If he investigates, I'm afraid my identity will be exposed!"

"Is it really that magical? No matter how powerful Di Renjie is, I'm afraid he won't doubt you and Li Yuanfang, right?" Xiao Feng didn't believe it.

Zhao Ji quickly stopped this dangerous idea and sighed: "Snake Spirit should know Di Gong's power best, this cannot be tested!" Xiao Feng nodded indifferently and asked unhappily: "Yes, Di Renjie is powerful, but Li Yuanfang and you are not vegetarians either!"

"You want me to kill people after you all show up? My General Zhao, do you think too highly of me? Even if Jingkong dies by then, I won't be able to escape..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ji slowly opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He looked at Xiao Feng and said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the small building in the backyard of Yuan Mansion?"

Xiao Feng understood immediately and replied, "That was the place where Yuan Tiangang and Lu Cheng tested various information mechanisms. But ten years have passed. Can it still be used?"

Zhao Ji nodded: "I went to Yuan's house and rechecked it. It's enough to deal with Jingkong. You can also make some preparations in advance."

"At that time, you just need to show up in front of Li Yuanfang and Jingkong. I will lead Jingkong there and use a mechanism to get rid of him..." Zhao Ji approached Xiaofeng and whispered.

Xiao Feng listened attentively. When Zhao finished speaking, she frowned slightly and hesitated: "Is this... possible?"

Zhao Ji took a deep breath. Facing an opponent like Di Renjie, no one could be completely sure.

But he still pretended to be calm: "Now that things have come to this, we can only try our best! If anything goes wrong, you take care of yourself, and I will take care of Jingkong!"

Xiao Feng heard this, a smile appeared on her lips, and a firm light flashed in her eyes: "Okay, I believe you!"

Zhao Ji also smiled and nodded.

The two discussed the details again to ensure that every link was foolproof.

After a while, the sound of the night watchman floated in through the night. Zhao Ji looked up and looked out the window: "It's late at night, I should say goodbye. However, since you have moved to another place, what should I do if I want to find you in the future?"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng's lips curled up into a smug smile, with a sly light flashing in his eyes: "Hey, you'll never guess where we moved to!"

Zhao Ji looked at Xiao Feng's playful appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Oh? Then I am really curious."

Seeing this, Xiaofeng became even more interested.

She stood on tiptoe, whispered softly into Zhao Ji's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm telling you, we've moved to the East Palace!"

The girl's breath was as fragrant as orchid, which made Zhao Ji feel distracted for a moment, but he did not look surprised.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng pouted in dissatisfaction: "How come you don't have any reaction at all? That's the East Palace!"

Zhao Ji tilted his mouth, shook his head and said: "As a general, you should not change your expression when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, and you should not blink when a deer appears on your left."

This is a paraphrase of Su Xun's words from later generations.

Xiao Feng blushed when she heard this. She pretended to be angry and pushed Zhao Ji away, saying coquettishly, "Go away! You are so conceited!"

"To be honest, the prince has been replaced by our people today. This is also part of Xiao Qingfang and Yuan Tiangang's plan! We have dug a long tunnel in Luoyang City. Now we are going to build a lotus pond in the East Palace and secretly connect the tunnel to the lotus pond."

"The so-called miracle of the Luo River is the undercurrent of the Luo River. They plan to guide the water of the Luo River to the palace..."

Xiaofeng told Zhao Ji everything she knew without reservation.

This time, Zhao Ji's expression became serious and he listened to the whole thing.

"Thank you, Xiaofeng. If it were just this, their plan would not succeed!" Zhao Ji said with great certainty, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
