C834 Bad Words Behind His Back

After a pause, Ninth Duke continued, "Even if you tell him about this, Then I won't admit it, Anyway, once I leave this door, there will be an expert protecting me. He won't get close to me at all."

Loong Xue fiddled with her hair and said to Ninth Duke, "Since you have bodyguards, why don't you bring them in? What if you are in danger here?"

Hearing Loong Xue's words, Ninth Duke laughed. His eyes looked even more lustful. He said to Loong Xue, "I am mainly afraid that he will disturb our conversation. In short, it is better not to let anyone else know what we are talking about."

Loong Xue smiled. Her smile was exceptionally charming. She said to Ninth Duke, "Then if Zhang Fann heard what you said just now, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Ninth Duke thought for a while and said with a smile, "Of course I know. Although Zhang Fann did not kill me, I am still a member of the Imperial Family. If he dares to threaten my life, the people of the Imperial Family will never let him go. However, he will not let me off easily. So, this matter... I will only tell you. "

At this moment, Zhang Fann patted Ninth Duke's shoulder with a calm expression. He didn't say anything. It was just a small gesture.

However, Ninth Duke, who had a guilty conscience, suddenly jumped up like a cat whose hair had been blown up. He turned around with a frightened face and looked behind him.

At this moment, Ninth Duke realized that there was a young man standing behind him. This person was none other than Zhang Fann, whom he had just described as useless.

Ninth Duke was scared silly when he saw Zhang Fann. His eyes were filled with fear and despair. He even forgot to scream. For a moment, he felt as if his soul had left his body. His expression was indescribable.

Zhang Fann saw that Zhang Fann's mouth was wide open, but he did not make any sound. His expression was calm. He put the long sword in his hand on his neck and gestured for him to keep quiet. Otherwise, he would lose his life.

Seeing Zhang Fann's action, Ninth Duke hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, afraid that he would make any noise and anger Zhang Fann in front of him.

Zhang Fann's expression was still as calm as before. He asked Ninth Duke, "You said just now that you are a member of the Imperial Family. Do I not dare to do anything to you?"

After listening to Zhang Fann's question, Ninth Duke was somewhat scared silly. He nodded at first and then realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly shook his head. His head was like a rattle drum.

"Have you heard of Ni Heng?" Zhang Fann still asked in a calm tone. However, after Ninth Duke heard this voice, it was like a thunderclap, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

Especially when he heard the name mentioned by Zhang Fann, Ninth Duke's heart skipped a beat. He had more or less understood this Ni Heng. This person had started to be one of the best in the imperial family. Whether it was his talent or cultivation speed, he was considered one of the best in the entire imperial family. He was also considered one of the young experts in the imperial family.

When Zhang Fann mentioned this name, it meant that either Zhang Fann knew this person, or he was very familiar with him, or there was some conflict between them that had yet to be resolved.

However, in Ninth Duke's memory, this Ni Heng seemed to have left the royal family and never returned. The royal family also sent many people to search for him, but in the end, they found nothing. Some people guessed that this Ni Heng might have died somewhere, but they just couldn't find the corpse now.

Now, Zhang Fann had actually said Ni Heng's name. This made Ninth Duke feel a little surprised and even a little afraid.

Zhang Fann saw that Ninth Duke was quite frightened, so he continued to say to him, "This man is already dead, and he died in my hands. Furthermore, in my hands, the lives of your royal family... It seems that this is not the only thing. So, do you think I care about your life? "

After hearing what Zhang Fann said, Ninth Duke's pupils shrank. Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. He looked at Zhang Fann in disbelief. He could even feel the aura of death getting closer and closer to him.

When Zhang Fann saw Ninth Duke in such a state, he knew in his heart that he had already reached the level of deterrence. The next step was to raise his requirements.

"However, they are really going to fight me. Furthermore, they wanted to kill me, so I will take their lives. " However, you are different. You only scolded me a few times, that's all. Even though it is also a death sentence, at least there is still room for reconciliation. However, it will depend on whether you are qualified to cooperate. " Zhang Fann said to Ninth Duke with a calm expression. However, there was a threat in his words.

When Ninth Duke heard that there was room for reconciliation, he hurriedly nodded his head. His desire to live was immediately aroused in his heart. He was even willing to exchange anything for it.

Zhang Fann nodded and said to Ninth Duke, "I heard that you have many cities under your jurisdiction. How about this? Give me a city and this matter will be written off."

After hearing Zhang Fann's words, Ninth Duke frowned. He didn't expect Zhang Fann to be so greedy. He actually had such a big appetite and wanted a city from him.

Generally speaking, the royal family was wealthy because they had more cities under their jurisdiction. After taking over so many cities, they would reward these cities for their contributions and distributing them to many royal heirs and nobles.

Moreover, many villages and towns near one of the cities were under the jurisdiction of this city, including all the resources in this region. The value was immeasurable!

Loong Xue was also shocked when she heard that. Although she could imagine that Zhang Fann might extort or negotiate with Ninth Duke, she never thought that he would directly ask for a city from Ninth Duke. This was really too surprising.

"This..." Ninth Duke's brows were tightly knitted. He had never done anything like this. One should know that privately giving a city to someone else was an insult to the royal family. If those people from the royal family found out about this, what would happen?

Seeing Ninth Duke's troubled expression, he used his palm technique to rub the back of the sword in his hand against Ninth Duke's neck.

The back of the sword rubbed against Ninth Duke's neck, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. His mind went blank, and he fell to his knees with a plop. He hurriedly said, "I beg you, don't kill me! I'll give you anything you want!"1
