Since Jiang Lingfeng's death, the royal family has never had any contact with Jiangzhou again, this time it is not only a visit but also a personal visit by the Nine Emperor Princes of Emperor Jing, which is undoubtedly the first to submit to the royal family in the eyes of the world, how can Emperor Jing take such care of his dignity and allow this to happen?

"I don't understand, since Jiang Changan will definitely come eventually, why doesn't His Highness wait for the rabbit and wait for the rabbit, wouldn't it be better to wait for the work with ease?

Chu Meifeng said softly, and when he said the last sentence, he deliberately emphasized the last four words, and looked at him nervously.

Xia Ji suddenly raised his head and laughed, patted Chu Meifeng's shoulder, and said, "Who said that he was in danger alone, isn't there still Mr. Chu?"

Chu Meifeng's heart sank, the corners of her mouth smiled helplessly, and an unnoticed edge welled up from her eyes, but it was hidden in the blink of an eye.

"Indeed, as Mr. Chu said, to be quiet and take advantage of the time, place and people, you just need to sit and wait for Jiang Chang'an's self-throwing net, but it is impossible for His Royal Highness to forget the original purpose for a Jiang Chang'an and a Jiangzhou!"

Xia Ji's eyes were full of greed and blood, "Father is old, the fifth prince, who knows women all day long, will not be able to keep it sooner or later, what I want is the throne! This is the world! This is the most important thing, and now someone wants to destroy all this!"

"Your Highness is talking about the Thirteenth Highness?"

Xia Ji's eyes showed a fierce light: "I knew that I should have killed him back then, and I would have saved these troubles now! There has been news below, just the day before yesterday, the old thirteen had secretly left the palace and went straight to Jiangzhou, now no one knows where he is, maybe he is in which street inn, Xing, he has already arrived in Jiangzhou, maybe this kid is very ghost now." ”

"Go straight to Jiangzhou! It's no wonder that only Jiangzhou can help at present, Your Highness is relieved, Jiangzhou said many years ago that he would not participate in the royal dispute. But then again, these Thirteen Highnesses already have the courage to go to the Jiang family, who has a feud, at a young age. After all, His Royal Highness Thirteen is only sixteen years old, and he is still underage, so I am afraid that he will not be able to become a big climate, His Highness is relieved. ”

Chu Meifeng had a calculation in his heart, if Jiang Changan died, then he would have no value in continuing to exist, so he had to force Xia Ji to a point where he had to need himself.

And the Thirteenth Palace, which has always been at odds with His Ninth Highness Xia Ji, is the best candidate for this.

"What do you know! It is precisely because this is a royal dispute, this is me, Gong Wang Xia Ji and Lao Thirteen, so the Jiang family will help!"

Chu Meifeng said unhurriedly: "Since this is the case, why don't Your Highness also ask for help?"

"You mean ......"

"The gang of people in Lingxiao Palace have been idle for too long, Your Highness, instead of letting others sit back and enjoy the success after the big thing is completed, it is better to unload the mill and kill the donkey, this donkey must also play a little role, right?

Xia Ji's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Pass the order, set up checkpoints in various states and places, meet suspicious men, and if you find palace accessories on your body, you will be killed! Also, summon the envoy of Lingxiao Palace to meet you!"

"Your Highness is afraid that Your Majesty will know His Highness's actions, right? Does Your Highness really think that Your Majesty doesn't know anything? Even if Your Highness the Thirteenth is smart, and has the ability to leave the palace without permission and successfully avoid Your Highness's ears and eyes? If I guess correctly, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will arrange for the Absolute Strong to accompany His Highness all the way to protect him, and it may even be one of the several worshippers in the palace——"

Xia Ji suddenly woke up, and he faintly felt that something was wrong with the letterhead handed by his subordinates, and after Chu Meifeng, he directly pierced this layer of window paper, and said fiercely:

"Checks and balances! Checks and balances again! This old thing! One day I'm going to make him kneel on the ground and beg me like a dog!"

The two chatted a few more words, and Chu Meifeng was about to bow and leave.

"Mr. Chu, wait a minute—" Xia Ji suddenly shouted.

"What else does Your Highness command?"

Xia Ji rubbed his fingers and said, "Mr. has never worried, this king will also be a grinding and killing of Mr.-"

He didn't say the last word.

Plop –

Chu Meifeng knelt down and prostrate on the ground, and hurriedly said: "I have never had two hearts in my majesty, besides, the knife is in the hands of His Highness, and the reins are also in the hands of His Highness, whether to kill or not is not His Highness's decision, but I ask His Highness to understand that the heart of His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the heaven and earth can be ......."

"Alright, alright, stand down......"

Chu Meifeng hurriedly retreated. There were no maids and servants in the entire hall, only two remained.

Xia Ji looked at the direction of his disappearing back and asked, "Ding Wu, how is the investigation of the things that this king asked you to investigate?"

"Tell Your Highness that his meridians are indeed man-made, but the strange thing is that this injury has only been a year old. ”

"One year! Jiang Changan has been away from Jiangzhou for nearly five years, and it seems that they met five years ago, which is really interesting, hehe. ”

Xia Ji sneered, seeing that this personal guard who had been with him for ten years wanted to stop talking, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, my subordinates feel that he is not really helping His Highness, as can be seen from the words of His Highness the Thirteenth. And ......"

"And what?"

And his last words were too fake, too hypocritical. ”

Xia Ji sneered: "He just makes us feel fake, if what he says is too true, then I really might accidentally kill him, whether it is true or not, the most important thing is just like what he said, the knife is in my hand, the reins are also in my hand, and the final decision is naturally up to me." He is pretending to be confused, he is a person who understands, but unfortunately, he is not a smart person, when Jiang Changan died, he was the martyr!

"Yes. ”

Far to the north of the Great Xia Kingdom, the land of the extreme north.

Moonlight, dotted with stars.

In the night, the master and servant walked on the endless wasteland.

In front of her was an old woman with a sixtieth birthday, but her body was extremely tough, and she walked like a fly, compared to the two teenagers behind her, a man and a woman, who were much inferior, supporting each other and staggering.

"Jiang Po, where are we now?" the young man asked with a gasp.

"Jiangzhou!" Jiang Po squinted her eyes slightly, her legs moved her face, but her face seemed to be asleep.

The surrounding environment is somewhat inclined to the humid climate of the water town, with black tiles and white walls, and pleasant scenery.

But this Jiangzhou seems to be quiet and comfortable, but in fact, there are constant murders, there are always strange and unexplained things happening, coupled with the dangerous terrain, it is called a dangerous place.

The young man is fifteen or sixteen years old, the clothes are the best gold-wrapped silk, embroidered with elegant bamboo and plum patterns, with the mutton fat hosta on the head, the jade belt around the waist, the chin is slightly raised and the eyes are obliquely glanced up, invisibly overflowing with a king's air that looks down on the world, a good noble son.

Behind her, a girl of about seventeen years old, dressed in green Qiluo splendor, her long hair was not tied up with hairpins, and she was scattered at will, revealing a rich fragrance of blue musk, her face was like a peach and plum, her pupils were smart, and she was extremely delicate.

But this beautiful face always frowned, and her lips pursed slightly, and from time to time there was a long sigh, as if condensed infinite sorrow.

After a few days and nights, the three of them came to the city of Jiangzhou, the city is majestic, and the two words hanging on the high gate can be seen from afar: "Jiangzhou"!

There is a prosperous style in the city, the smoke willow painting bridge, the dance pavilion can be seen everywhere, and there is no barren place to appear, everyone has little sorrow on their faces, quiet and peaceful, it looks like the imperial city is not much better.

"This is Jiangzhou!" The young man in Zhumei and gold thick clothes finally reined in his temperament and exclaimed, looked around curiously, and found that some secular folk customs were very different from those in the capital.

And Xia Leling is much calmer, but beautiful and slightly frowned, although the old scene is silent since ancient times, it is the most hurtful thing.

The three of them found a well-known inn in the city, intending to settle down.

The young man said: "Little Er, my sister and I came all the way from the capital to visit relatives, passing through here, I want to stay here for a night, and I hope that the two brothers can take them in, and the silver and silver are good to discuss." As he spoke, he opened his robe and pulled out a packet of broken silver.

The little two looked at the three of them horizontally, and said contemptuously in his eyes: "I'm sorry for the three, our inn is full." ”

"It's full, I don't think there's anyone up and down here, how can it be full!" The boy was a little unhappy.

Xiao Er said impatiently: "I'll tell you directly, Jiangzhou has the rules of Jiangzhou, and everyone in the world is welcome in Jiangzhou, but people from Jingzhou are not accepted, no matter which inn you go to, the result is the same." ”

"You!"

"Thirteen, forget it. Xia Leling persuaded.

"I'm sorry, if you really want to find an inn where you can stay, please find another place! But I want to remind you, there is a person who is going back to Jiangzhou these days, you must have seen it at the city gate, there is a high banner holding the Jiangzi flag, the scene is so grand, the pick-up has been waiting for a few days, and there are many people who have seen the excitement, this kind of scene is rare, hey. ”

"Pick up someone, pick up whom?" Xia Leling asked casually.

"Hey, you don't even know this? The fourth prince of Jiangzhou is coming back. "Xiao Erdao.

"Who are you talking about?!" Xia Leling clenched his sleeves tightly, and stood up as he had just sat down, with a hint of begging in his words.
