These days, it is the national mourning period of His Majesty the Emperor Tianxi, and the fireworks venues of the entire Great Chu State have converged, and they are no longer as lively as in the past, and the whole country has fallen into a sad atmosphere, but even so, it is inevitable that there will be many prodigal disciples, who are still concerned about the Qinglou Painting Boat, and the enthusiasm has not been consumed by the national funeral, but is more intense, as the eldest son of the Zhou family, the head of the six clans of the Huaihe River, Zhou Xingyun and the eldest son of the Zhou family, is such a master.

In order to show respect and mourning for the first emperor, there are many fewer painting boats on the Qingxi River, and the women in the Qinglou on both sides of the river are no longer dressed up with heavy makeup, the red lanterns have been replaced by plain lamps made of white paper, and only the pedestrians on the street and the blind old woman who is holding a desolate erhu on the bank of the Qingxi River in the evening breeze are still the same.

The white plain lamp and the depressing atmosphere of the entire Great Chu Kingdom did not affect Zhou Xingyun Zhou's mood at this time, he held a Qingluan in his left arm and a purple hairpin in his right arm, but there was no blood on his handsome face.

As the eldest son of Lord Zhou Yu, the emperor of Huaihe County, he is a veritable prince of Huaihe County, so he has enjoyed the glory and wealth since he was a child, although Lord Zhou Yu is very strict with him, but he can't stand the desperate stammering of the underground officials and gentlemen, so when he was a teenager, he began to carry his father to linger in the fireworks of Huaihe County, and indulged in it, the pressure exerted on him by Lord Zhou Yu in the family is too huge, only when he is drinking and having fun with these Qinglou women, his soul can get a kind of relief and sublimation, and he even feels that this is the true meaning of his life, this kind of meaning has sometimes even surpassed the position of inheriting the head of the Zhou family in his heart, and has become the new master of the six major families of Huaihe.

Because he was afraid that Lord Zhou Yu would know that he would run out at this critical time, so the eldest son of Zhou Xingyun did not let anyone know that he came to Qingxi River, and he didn't even bring a domestic servant, his pressure is too great these days, watching his father slaughter the entire Qingwang Mansion and assassinating His Royal Highness the Great Prince, Zhou Xingyun's mind always lingers on those pictures, Zhou Xingyun has actually lived under the strict management of Lord Zhou Yu since he was a child, and he is not a hopeless gentleman like Yang Rongxun, and he also knows that he should not appear in this kind of place at this juncture, but only on this Qingxi River can he not think about those things too much and make his mood a little more comfortable.

He didn't expect that there was a pair of eyes that had been quietly staring at him since the moment he left the Zhou family's mansion in Ying Tiancheng.

The owner of those eyes was the former king of assassins in the Qin Kingdom, and now the Starry Night Academy teaches Bai Wuyan.

Before Chen Lin left, he replaced his position with Bai Wuyan, and left the antidote of the Black Chicken and White Phoenix Pill for nearly five years, and asked Bai Wuyan to do things for His Royal Highness the Little Prince. Ever since Bai Wuyan stayed in Starry Night Academy, he knew that he was afraid that he would always be tied to the name Chen Linci

up, in fact, she doesn't have too much resistance, because no matter how you look at it, being the king of assassins of the Qin State is better than being the powerful minister of the Chu State, and she is also very optimistic about the future of the little prince's destiny, so she is also willing to do something for him, but the only thing that makes her unhappy is the feeling that her life is in the hands of others.

Fortunately, Chen Linqi left the Chu State, and at least in the past five years, she has been relatively free.

As the dean of the Starry Night Academy, it is not convenient for Hu Haiyang to personally intervene in the disputes in the court, but he has always kept in mind the words of the first emperor before leaving, as a native of Chu, even if he does not have the feelings of the first emperor, he is willing to do something for this country.

"I heard that in the past, when Emperor Ling was in power, he liked to see men with slender waists, so those civil and military officials in the court were all afraid that they would lose the favor of the king because of their fat waist, and they only ate one meal a day to control their figure. The eldest prince of Zhou Xingyun sneered: "Every time I think of such a wonderful dance, it actually comes from a group of disgusting big men, I think it is very ridiculous, then the Ancestor Ling Emperor is not what is good about Longyang?"

"Emperor Xianjun Ling has a good slave family of Longyang, I don't know, the slave family only knows that Zhou Gongzi is as strong as a dragon and snake, that is, you give the slave family ten emperors, and the slave family is not willing to change it. Qingluan lay in Zhou Xingyun's arms and said in a coquettish voice.

Zhou Xingyun listened very helpfully, smiled slightly and said softly: "Qingluan's eyes are almost comparable to your world-class appearance. ”

"If you can stay with your son, you will let the slave family be the queen of the mother of the country, and the slave family will not go. Zichai also murmured.

"What did the queen of the mother of the country count? stay in that deserted palace all day long, be bound by rules and regulations to her words and deeds, and after her face is old, she will only be left alone in the empty room, where can she stay by the side of her son and be at ease. Zhou Xingyun laughed a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "Besides, after His Royal Highness the Second Highness ascends the throne, this Chu State, won't my Zhou family have the final say in the future?"

Sure enough, on a small boat not far away, Bai Wuyan had a bottom in his heart, Dean Hu was worthy of being the number one person in the Great Chu Kingdom, and he looked at things so sharply, and he actually saw through the truth of the matter intuitively.

This Huaihe Zhou family is really the second prince and the same line, and the second prince really has the heart to be called the emperor.

As soon as the two things are combined, with the wisdom of Bai Wuyan, it is not difficult to discover the hidden truth behind the matter, since the second prince has long had the heart of being the emperor, and secretly received the hearts of the six tribes of Huaihe, then his plan must be huge, and the death of the eldest prince is likely to have nothing to do with him, and it may even be that he personally ordered it, and then his subordinates did it!

Kill His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and then blame His Royal Highness's death on the Third Highness, you can justifiably stand up for the reason of avenging the eldest brother, and then reveal the life experience of the Qingqiu bloodline of the Third Highness, and then clear your two opponents, and the throne will be within reach.

These two highnesses

, sure enough, it's a deep city.

Now that Zhou Xingyun's suspicion in the murder of the eldest prince has been determined, the next thing is very simple.

One moment, she was still on a small boat in the inconspicuous corner of the Qingxi River, and the next moment, she had already come to the painting boat where Zhou Xingyun was.

For a powerhouse in the Tianji realm, it is not too difficult to do this.

The eldest prince of Zhou was still indulging in the dream of gentleness and wealth, and a long sword was placed on his neck.

"Ah!" The painting boat instantly fell into a panic, and the slender waist singers who were dancing were instantly frightened and screamed, and Qingluan and Zichai, who were lying in Zhou Xingyun's arms, were even more frightened to the point that their faces were bloodless, and they wanted to scream for a while but couldn't even make a sound.

"Shut up all of them, and let me hear anyone shouting, kill them!" Bai Wuyan glanced back impatiently, and all those singers sat on the ground, covering their mouths and not daring to speak.

"I dare to say that the queen mother is not as good as a Qinglou woman next to you, you guy, you are really arrogant. Bai Wuyan looked at Zhou Xingyun's eyes and smiled disdainfully: "The queen mother is the mother of the second prince, if you say this, aren't you afraid that your master will kill you?"

Although Zhou Xingyun had just seen his father slaughter the Qingwang Mansion, as the crown prince of Huaihe County, he had been pampered since he was a child, where had he ever seen such a scene being carried by someone with a sword on his neck? His psychological quality was not bad, but at this time, he was still frightened to the point that his liver and gall were broken, and his legs were uncontrollably weak.

"You...... Who the hell are you?" Zhou Xingyun forcibly pressed the panic in his heart, and said tremblingly: "Do you know what the identity of this son is, and he dares to put a sword on his neck, are you really not afraid of death?"

"Of course I know what your identity is, Master Zhou, otherwise how would I come to look for you. Bai Wuyan smiled and said: "As for whether you are afraid of death, now that my long sword is on your neck, who is not afraid of death?"

"The eldest son of the Zhou family in Huaihe dared to murder the eldest prince of the Zhao family's royal family, he was so bold!" Bai Wuyan scolded angrily: "Zhou Xingyun, are you really not afraid of death?"

A coercion of a Tianji realm powerhouse emanated from Bai Wuyan's body, and an angry rebuke frightened Zhou Xingyun into confusion, and when he heard the words of murdering the eldest prince of the Zhao family, Zhou Xingyun completely collapsed.

Didn't my father say that this matter would not be spread out without fail? How could it be known so quickly? You must know that the crime of murdering the prince of the dynasty, even if he slaughtered the Manchus of the Zhou family, it was not an exaggeration at all, and now that he was directly exposed, how could he not panic in his heart?

"No, I didn't do it!" he subconsciously quibbled: "It's all the intention of the Second Highness, my father's hand, I haven't touched him from beginning to end! I'm still so young, you can't kill me, you can't kill me! You say, what do you want, except for my life, I will give you everything!"

When he said this, he had already knelt on the ground and began to plead bitterly, facing the huge coercion of the Tianji Realm powerhouse, his spirit had completely collapsed, and he couldn't raise any thoughts of resisting at all.
