After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

"Miss Cui, please feel free to speak up. As long as it is within my power, I, Jiang, will definitely help you with all my strength."

Jiang Zhen spoke confidently, and then he changed the subject, "However, the recent rumors in the capital seem to have died down. Miss Cui, is this trip for another purpose?"

"Those are just trivial matters, not worth bothering Mr. Jiang."

Cui Rongrong's eyes were sharp. "The real purpose of my trip is for the uninvited guest from the border. He has bad intentions towards my father, and we are in the open, so we are in a passive position. Therefore, I came to ask for help from Lord Jiang, hoping that he can lend a hand."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was weighing something.

"Miss Cui, do you want me to get rid of this man? I remember I've clearly told you before that if I touch him, I'm afraid..."

However, before Jiang Zhen could finish, Cui Rong interrupted him and said firmly, "I understand the interests involved. All I want is for the owner of the building Jiang to come forward and leave him helpless."

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Zhen's brows, and then he noticed that Cui Rong took out an exquisite little bottle from her sleeve and gently pushed it in front of him.

The contents of the bottle were clearly extraordinary.

"Although this poison won't kill a person, it can make a person lose all his internal strength, gradually becoming useless." Cui Rongrong explained in a calm and resolute voice, "In this way, he will no longer be able to threaten my father."

Jiang Zhen carefully examined the bottle of medicine, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook the bottle gently, "This plan is indeed brilliant. Miss Cui's decisiveness and ruthlessness far exceeded my expectations."

Cui Rong didn't seem to care about Jiang Zhen's comments. Her eyes went straight to the core of the question. "So, what does Jiang mean by this...?"

She knew that she couldn't set up a tight net in the capital like Jiang Zhen did and act quickly once she locked on a target.

Therefore, she urgently needs Jiang Zhen's support and assistance.

However, after the question, the room fell into a brief but heavy silence. The two people's eyes met in the air, and the air seemed to freeze.

After a long while, Jiang Zhen spoke slowly, with a hint of deep meaning in his voice, "For me, this matter is not worth mentioning, but Miss Cui, have you ever considered that after this action, the border may send more difficult people?"

"What if this causes even greater trouble? Wouldn't that be more trouble than it's worth for Miss Cui?"

A deep light flashed in Cui Rongrong's eyes. "No, when that person finds out that he has lost all his martial arts skills, he will only fall into endless fear and choose to conceal the matter."

"After all, as long as people are alive, they will instinctively cherish life," she continued.

Borderland's covetousness for Bian Tang, once the chess piece they sent out becomes a useless piece, they will never waste resources on a useless piece, nor will they allow such a failure to be exposed to the sun.

Because that person holds too many secrets, and for them who are determined to conquer Bian Tang, every step must be taken with caution to avoid any action that may arouse suspicion.

In comparison, the border area was far inferior to Bian Tang in terms of military strength and strategic materials, and could not withstand a protracted war.

Jiang Zhen chuckled and re-examined Cui Rong in front of him, with a little more appreciation and recognition in his eyes, "It turns out that Miss Cui has already weighed all the pros and cons so thoroughly. I was too short-sighted and failed to foresee this far-reaching impact."

"Indeed, although the people in the border areas seem to be scattered and the spies they send out are numerous, once they have seen the prosperity and wealth of Bian Tang, how many of them would be willing to return to that bitter and cold land? It is better to enjoy freedom and comfort here, why work hard for those distant ambitions?"

Cui Rongrong's eyes flickered slightly, neither expressing her agreement nor expressing her opposition directly.

The image of frontier soldiers charging into battle flashed through her mind. They were brave and fearless, but also blindly impulsive. Their simple and direct tactics were harsh but easy to predict, but because of this, every confrontation came with a heavy price.

She slowly raised her eyes and her gaze met Jiang Zhen's. There was an imperceptible tenderness in her eyes.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang agrees." There was a hint of smile in his words.

Jiang Zhen's smile was warm.

"No matter how big or small the matter is, as long as it is beneficial to me, I have no reason to refuse." His voice was low and magnetic.

"What's more, Miss Cui has been kind to me before. I, Jiang Zhen, will always remember this friendship. There is no reason to say no."

With a light flick of Jiang Zhen's finger, a nimble secret guard appeared beside him silently, moving swiftly and silently.

Jiang Zhen carefully handed the poison in his hand to the secret guard, whispering a few words with a mysterious smile on his lips.

After receiving the order, the secret guard's figure flashed and he seemed to blend into the shadows around him, disappearing without a trace, leaving only the sound of a slight fluttering robe.

Just as Cui Rong was about to leave, Jiang Zhen gently raised his hand and blocked her way.

Her eyes were calm and somewhat indifferent.

"Master Jiang, is there anything else?" Her voice was cool and pleasant, like a clear mountain spring.

There was a hint of playfulness in Jiang Zhen's smile, and he seemed to enjoy this intellectual confrontation.

"Indeed."

There was a hint of inquiry in his words. "Although I have done some research on you and learned that you are proficient in medicine, after meeting you today, I found that my understanding is far from enough. Miss Cui's attainments in poison techniques are simply amazing, even those poison masters I know are difficult to reach. The poison you gave to the frontier spy is so unique and powerful that I have never seen it before. I am very curious, who is the master of Miss Cui's poison making skills?"

Faced with Jiang Zhen's direct questioning, Cui Rongrong did not answer directly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"Master Jiang, are you interested in my poison?" she asked.

Jiang Zhen was stunned, obviously not expecting Cui Rongrong to be so direct, and then he chuckled.

"It is indeed refreshing to talk with a smart person. Luoxianlou has a good reputation in the martial arts world and is prone to attracting storms. If we can get Miss Cui's 'special care', it will undoubtedly make our foundation more solid."

His words were full of sincerity and his eyes were genuine and eager.

"Miss Cui, please feel free to ask. No matter what you ask, I, Jiang Zhen, will never refuse."

Then, he looked at Cui Rong sincerely, and saw two small and exquisite bottles, which had been lying quietly in front of him without him knowing when.

"You can use it first." Cui Rongrong's voice was still calm, but it was firm. "When I need the help of Jiang Louzhu one day, I will not be polite."

After saying this, she turned around gently, her skirt fluttering, and left gracefully, leaving the room cold and quiet. Her unique and elegant fragrance seemed to linger in the air.

Deep in the East Palace, Song Yanyi's face darkened after hearing the secret report from the secret guards.
