"Li Xinzhu, you should also go and rest, and tomorrow, I will ask you again. Qiu Shu commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness. After Li Xinzhu gave the salute, he withdrew.

Qiu Shu and Lu Zhifang glanced at each other, the two of them didn't say a word, and they also went out of the room, but they found that the people standing outside, in addition to Ma Xiaohua, there was also one more Lin Jiasen.

When Lin Jiasen saw the two of them come out, his eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward to salute, Ma Xiaohua was the same, Qiu Shu waved his hand, stopped them, and said, "You guys also go to rest, this palace and Grandpa Lu have to say a few words." ”

"Yes. ”

After the two of them disappeared, Qiu Shu and Lu Zhifang passed through the hall, and soon came to another quiet courtyard, where the rooms on all sides were dark, and only a faint light was in the main room.

The two entered the main room, but they saw that on the main seat in front of them, there was a woman sitting on the main seat, covered by a phoenix veil, wearing a phoenix robe, and a scarlet peony on her chest, looking at the two with a smile on her eyebrows.

With only one sitting position, it is like a phoenix in the world, unstoppable.

The two did not have the slightest look of surprise, as if they had already known about the woman's coming, Lu Zhifang gave a military salute, and Qiu Shu knelt down directly and shouted: "Meet Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, may Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven be safe." ”

"Get up. The woman said.

"Yes. Qiu Shu stood up.

"Sit down. The woman said again.

"Yes. Lu Zhifang and Qiu Shu sat on either side of the woman.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Lu Zhifang asked first.

"This kid is really interesting, little book, and he will retell today's events word for word. The woman smiled, in an interesting tone.

"Yes, Queen Mother. ”

After Qiu Shu had recounted all the conversations with Sheng Shen just now, the woman asked, "Haven't you found out the roots of Sheng Shen?"

Qiushu shook his head and said: "On the way back from the child, the Shengjia Village, which is very similar to the hometown of Shengshen, at that time he had doubts on his face, and said in person that he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity there, and then according to his age, the child thinks that he is the survivor of the Shengjia Village people who were slaughtered that year has a great chance. It's just that no matter who he studied under in his martial arts, no matter what channel the child inquired from, he never had the slightest clue. ”

The woman put her hand on her jaw, and after a moment of lazy thought, she said, "Very good." What are you going to do with Li Xinzhu?"

"The child is not going to dispose of her for the time being. Qiushu said.

"Oh? ”

"Yes, first of all, Li Xinzhu's identity, she is currently a spy of the Northern Yan Kingdom, a maid in my house, and a person with Sheng Gray's triple identity, the child thinks that if she uses it well, she will definitely make Zhu Xuning suffer a big loss, and she can also take the opportunity to win over Sheng Ash. ”

"Secondly, as long as Li Xinzhu's identity is not announced to the public, then whether he is punished or not, all the possible effects are in my hands, so after thinking about it, the child still thinks that it is better not to move her for the time being. ”

However, it can't be guarded against, the child already has a plan to test it in her heart, and before implementing the plan for Zhu Xuning, she will definitely ensure that she will not still be on the side of the Northern Yan barbarians. Specifically, the child wants to investigate his background first, but in order to avoid startling the snake, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"Okay, this matter, you can do it. Let's talk about Sheng Gray again, what do you think of him, Uncle Lu is not an outsider, you can say it bluntly. The woman said.

"Yes, there are several stages in the child's heart for Sheng Gray. First of all, my Qiushui Kingdom is kind to him, if there are other forces that are also wooing him, I believe that under the same conditions, my Qiushui Kingdom will definitely have a first-mover advantage, which should be able to help with the relationship between Grandpa Lu and that kid. ”

Lu Zhifang smiled when he heard this, and said, "I hit Grandpa Lu's idea so early, you little guy, okay, you go on." ”

"Yes, the child thinks that before going to Xuelu Academy, we should not use too much force in the matter of winning over Sheng Ash, and we can use the relationship between Li Xinzhu and my house to slowly figure it out. Although he claimed to be leaving, because of the agreement with the child for half a year, it was impossible to leave Qiujing City, so the possibility of being lured by external forces was extremely small. ”

"Oh, do you know that the Shadow Serpent has actually found Lone's head in the past few days. The woman sneered.

"What?" Qiu Shu was shocked: "Have they still not given up?"

"How can you be dead, this time, the conditions they offered, even Lone was almost tempted. ”

Qiu Shu was silent, and Lu Zhifang didn't ask.

However, the woman did not stop there, but continued: "This time, the condition they set is that Lone can choose any battle, no matter who the target is, they can send three Sword Diagram Realm sword holders to listen to the order in advance, and it is guaranteed that there will definitely be a Great Sword Diagram Realm sword holder, so that even if there is only one Great Sword Diagram Realm sword holder, even if the other two are small sword Diagram Realm sword holders, you should also understand what this represents." ”

Moreover, what they thought of was still Sheng Ash who had not undergone the bone identification ceremony. ”

Qiu Shu's face turned pale, the sword holder of the Sword Diagram Realm, that is equivalent to the martial idiot realm among the martial artists, a big sword diagram realm sword bearer, recognized by the world, its combat power is only stronger than the great martial idiot, three sword diagram realm sword holders, what kind of concept is that, it can almost determine the direction of a war, if it is used well, it can even determine the direction of a big battle, the Shadow Snake, for a seven or eight-year-old Sheng Gray, is he willing to pay such a big price?

Lu Zhifang showed a hint of doubt, and said directly: "Your Majesty, are they actually willing to pay such a price? Are they really so sure that Sheng Shen not only has the posture of climbing mountains, but also the talent that looks at the sky?"

"This, no one can be sure before the bone identification ceremony is carried out for him, Uncle Lu, Lone is not only concerned about this, don't you think, Shadow Snake, this offer is a bit too much?"

"Definitely. Lu Zhifang responded.

"Gu thinks, does this mean that in their hands, they still have information about Sheng Shen that we don't know, and these information make them think that Sheng Shen has a bone that surpasses the posture of mountain climbing, and the probability is very high, otherwise, how can they be willing to pay such a big price. But if this speculation comes true, then what else is there that we don't know?" the woman said.

"Then, Your Majesty, in the past half a year, do you need the old man to find an opportunity to explore?" Lu Zhifang said.

"No, Uncle Lu, for you, Lone has other arrangements, such a small matter, how can it be worth your own action, just let Xiaoshu do it, the Shadow Snake's proposal, Lone has already rejected it face-to-face, according to their temperament, if they don't want to completely fight with my Qiushui Kingdom, they won't use force against Sheng Ash, especially here, so, during this time, Xiaoshu, you must make good use of it." ”

"The child takes the command, the queen mother. Qiushu stood up, bowed, and said.

"You continue with what you just said. The woman said again.

"Yes. This second stage is to wait until the results of the bone identification ceremony are released before making a decision, the bone quality of Sheng ash, ninety percent of the mountain climbing, then in this case, the child is also thinking, this bone identification ceremony, whether to be carried out publicly, or in secret. The advantage of openness is that it can have an almost immediate effect on deterring the Quartet, while the disadvantage is that the gray of the sheng is completely turned to the light, and it may suffer from all kinds of targets. ”

"And the advantage of being secretive is that we can enjoy the bones of Sheng Ash alone, and we can make a lot of plans for its bones, which can not only help his smooth growth, but also deepen his sense of identity with our country, but the disadvantage is that Sheng Ash is currently in fact semi-public, if the bone identification ceremony is not clear, the child is worried that the hostile forces will speculate randomly, and even take risks for the sake of Sheng Ash, in that case, the trip to the Xuelu Academy of the child may have a lot of twists and turns. ”

Qiu Shu talked eloquently, obviously she didn't think about this question again.

"Uncle Lu, what do you think?" the woman asked.

"The minister thinks that the bone appraisal ceremony should not only be public, but also sprinkled with heroic posts, so that the three major sects of the Qiushui Country, a large mountain villa, and all dignitaries and nobles will participate in this matter, and the greater the impact in the end, the better. Lu Zhifang said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Heh, Uncle Lu, you and Gu thought of it again. Hmph, let him wind from the southeast and northwest, I will not move. Lone wants to take a look, and who dares to come to Lone's autumn capital to spread wild. The woman glanced at Lu Zhifang and laughed softly.

The corners of Lu Zhifang's eyes drooped, and he only looked at the floor under his feet, as if something was happening there that attracted his heart.

"The Queen Mother is wise. As for the things during his studies at Snow Deer Academy, the child doesn't have too many ideas for the time being, and wants to wait until he arrives at Snow Deer Academy to make specific plans. Qiu Shu continued.

"Well, just do what you say. The overall plan is acceptable, which means that you have really worked hard during this time, but there is one less possibility in your expectations, if it is determined that Sheng Shen cannot be used by me, and even has the potential to turn to the enemy, you should know what to do. ”

In the woman's eyes, the strange circle of flames suddenly lit up, and for a while, it was like a flame burning, and it was extinguished after a breath, but the temperature in this room did not rise but fell, and Qiu Shu involuntarily fought a cold war.

"The child understood. Qiu Shu lowered his head, but his voice was firm.
