After Xiao Wanyao asked the little eunuch to leave, she called Zhu'er, "You go and send a capable subordinate to the Lidu Mansion to see what is going on, and investigate it carefully." ”

Since Xiao Wanyao became the queen of the Chu State, her power is naturally much greater than before, and she knows that it is difficult to do some things alone, especially now that she is in the palace, so she needs a lot of people and a lot of eyeliner to do things that she can't do. And in front of others, she is a queen of Chu who keeps to herself.

It's just that she never forgets jì, as long as she seizes the opportunity, she begins to establish her own backing force, whether it is from finance, personnel, secret guards, messaging and so on, she must have someone she can trust.

It's just that she needs time, little by little, she is like a spider in a spider's web, the spider in the center, she can sit there and stay still, she can get guò her own web, and get the prey she wants.

Xiao Wanyao knew that Guo Ping didn't come back overnight, and she naturally didn't sleep well, and the next day when she had breakfast, someone brought the news back, and Zhu'er came to Xiao Wanyao's side after hearing the news, "Back to the queen, the fire in Lidu Mansion last night was because of a key criminal." ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned for a moment, Lidu Mansion is not a specific yamen, although he exercises the functions and powers of the yamen, but he is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and the prisoners are all important criminals in the DPRK and China, or secret agents brought back from other countries, etc., which endanger national security.

There was a key criminal there, this is not a trivial matter, she frowned slightly, "Hasn't the emperor come back yet?" ”

Zhu'er nodded, "The emperor has been investigating there last night, and he hasn't come back yet, so it is estimated that he will not be able to go to the early dynasty." ”

Xiao Wanyao suddenly felt a little strange, even if Lidu Mansion ran away, Guo Ping would not have returned overnight, it was definitely not easy to escape from Lidu Mansion, but it was not unexpected, so naturally it could be dealt with by others, why stay there in person?

Seeing Xiao Wanyao get up, Zhu'er stepped forward to help, at this time it was almost winter, her personality of being afraid of the cold was highlighted again, and she had already changed into thicker clothes, Zhu'er helped her to the warm pavilion and sat down slowly, she asked, "Do you know what to commit when you run away?" What is the origin? ”

Zhu'er shook her head, "The slave also asked the person who replied, saying that she didn't know who the fugitive was, and most of the people on duty there had never seen it, when the emperor was still the prince, that person was imprisoned there, and the prince had been there a few times, this time the prince seemed to be in a hurry, and he should be a very important person." ”

After Zhu'er finished speaking, Xiao Wanyao fell into deep thought, Zhu'er saw that she didn't speak, turned around to pour tea for her, and waited until Zhu'er came back with the tea, she slowly spoke, "Zhu'er, you go and let Zhenling and them investigate to see who the key criminal who escaped." ”

Zhu'er didn't ask much, so she did what Xiao Wanyao said.

Here, after Zhenling got Xiao Wanyao's news, he was a little strange, and turned his head to ask Zhentian on the side, "Why do you say that the eldest lady is so interested in a fugitive from Lidu Mansion?" Could it be someone she knew? ”

Zhentian wiped his long knife on the side and said, "The person the eldest lady is looking for is naturally an important person, and we just do what the eldest lady says." ”

Zhen Ling took a deep breath, stood at the door of the front hall, leaned on the door frame, looked out with her hands on her chest, and walked through a large courtyard, which is the gate of this mansion, through the gate, you can also see people coming and going on the street, she tilted her head slightly, "Guo Ping has become the emperor, and the eldest lady has also become the queen, do you think they will grow old together from now on?" ”

Zhentian was slightly stunned and didn't speak, Zhenling always had some strange thoughts in his head, and sometimes he couldn't answer.

She had long been accustomed to the silence of the earth-shattering sky, and continued, "The eldest lady doesn't love Guo Ping, the person she loves is Xue Tianao. With someone you don't love, can you grow old together? How sad this life should be, have you forgotten jì? The eldest lady hates being tied up the most, and hates life in the palace the most. ”

Shaking couldn't help but sigh, "So what? The eldest lady has no choice now, she has broken Guo Ping's child, and as a queen, she naturally can't leave here. ”

Zhen Ling turned around suddenly, clenching his fists excitedly, "Why don't we enter the palace and snatch the eldest lady out, and then live the free life we used to have, go wherever we want, and do whatever we want." Mingyu has begun to stabilize the economy and develop production according to the requirements of the eldest lady, as the eldest lady said when we went down the mountain, we also have our own piece of the country, why bother to compromise in other people's countries? Right? ”

Shocking was silent in the face of her fallacy, he knew that Shocking always wanted to come out one by one, and there was no need to refute it herself, she would realize in a moment that what she said could not happen.

Seeing that Zhentian was silent, Zhenling sighed slightly, "I know it's impossible, but I said it all, can't you give a reaction?" Earthquake just smiled faintly and continued to wipe his knife, he was the listener of Shakespear, the guardian and follower, but he would not tolerate her doing whatever she wanted, it would be chaos in the world.

She let out a long sigh again, turned around and continued to stare at the crowd outside the door boringly, and her mouth couldn't help but start muttering again, "Mingjun has now become Guo Ping's personal guard, if you want to kill him, you have to go to the palace, although the eldest lady is in the palace, but she can't do anything to Mingjun now." There is a fugitive in Lidu Province, and it is not known who it is. There was no news from Xue Tianao on Gong Qing's side. Ay...... It's boring! ”

Just when she was complaining about being bored, a familiar figure appeared outside, and every time Zhenling saw him, she couldn't help but take a closer look at him, and then fantasized about how to snatch those priceless things, and sometimes wondered, why didn't anyone rob him of such a person who showed off his wealth?

When Shangguan Yunfan entered the mansion, he saw Zhenling leaning against the door, staring at him with shining eyes, and then walked over with a smile, "Zhentian Zhenling, why do you have so much time to sit here and chat today?" ”

Zhen Ling's eyes narrowed, he didn't have a good impression of Shangguan Yunfan, and said lazily, "Shangguan Gongzi, didn't you come to Chu State to do big business?" What's wrong? I haven't heard anything about your business for so long, is it that people have become emperors from the crown prince to the emperor, so they don't take you seriously? ”

Shangguan Yunfan naturally heard the irony in his words, but he didn't mind, and no matter who it was, he never minded, and said with a smile, "You said that you should be on a pilgrimage?" Rest assured, he will always need me sometimes. And I came to Chu State, not just to do business with him. ”

Zhenling's face sank after being 'polite', "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Shangguan Yunfan didn't treat himself as an outsider, walked into the front hall and sat down on the chair on the side, Zhentian didn't look at him and continued to wipe his knife, he looked at his knife and smiled, "Let's all be our own people, don't forget, your eldest lady owes me 100,000 taels of silver, I am a creditor, so naturally I will often come here to see, and then there is the news of Xue Tianao, but I helped you bring it into the palace, should you also be polite to me?" ”

Zhenling snorted lightly, and the corners of Zhentian's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

She walked up to him, "Shangguan Gongzi really doesn't treat himself as an outsider!" The eldest lady owes you money, that's her business, you have the ability to go to the palace to find her! There is also the news of Xue Tianao, we didn't let you bring it to the eldest lady, it was just that you were self-inflicted, and you almost hurt the eldest lady, I think you did it on purpose. ”

Shangguan Yunfan met her eyes and spread his hands, "I'm helping you." ”

Zhen Ling's eyes narrowed, "I have long seen that you like the eldest lady, when I was in Hezhou, I also knew that the eldest lady had always been with you, but the eldest lady didn't like you and married Guo Ping, so you did it deliberately because you were jealous." ”

Zhenling's theory made Shangguan Yunfan dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer with his mouth open.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Where did Miss Zhenling's remarks come from? Isn't it wronged? ”

Quake looked at him, "Then what are you doing here?" Say, I know you're going to have something. ”

At this moment, Shangguan Yunfan's gaze became stern, put away the smile on his face, and said, "My people have sent news that the key criminal who escaped from Lidu Mansion is Xue Tianao. ”

Zhenling's eyes widened, and Zhentian couldn't help but stand up, staring at Shangguan Yunfan incredulously. He naturally knew that they would react like this, of course, he didn't have any intention of coming in vain, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile again, "I know that you are in Zhao Xue Tianao in private, and you don't want to say too much about him to Xiao Wanyao, I know that you are well-intentioned, but Xiao Wanyao has already sent someone to investigate who the fugitive is, and sooner or later she will know." ”

Quakeling frowned and asked, "How do you know?" Are your messages sure to be accurate? ”

He nodded very affirmatively, "It seems that I am still underestimated by you, speaking of which, my news channels are much stronger than those of you Qingfeng Yuan, how do you know, you don't need to ask, but this is definitely true." And ......"

He paused and said, "Gong Qing already knows the news that Xue Tianao was captured by Guo Ping in Wei State, but she is about to give birth now, so it is inconvenient for her to come here, but she has already sent someone to Chu State to rescue Xue Tianao." And Guo Ping's subordinates are also looking for him. ”

Saying that, he stood up, looked at the two silent people, and continued, "I came here to sue you people, just to ask you to find him before all the people, Gong Qing's people don't know about the situation in Chu State, and it is estimated that it is not much use to come, and the rest are Guo Ping and Xiao Wanyao's people." Guo Ping's people will definitely not spare him when they find him, and you don't want Xiao Wanyao to know that Xue Tianao was arrested by the people of Chu, so ......"

"I see......" Zhen Ling gritted his teeth and said, he had to find Xue Tianao before everyone else.

Shangguan Yunfan said so much at once, and finally made it clear, and took a slight breath, "Then it's time to talk about my affairs next." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhenling and Zhentian both looked at each other, originally thinking that he was here to inform them of these news, but they didn't expect him to have something else, "What? Quake asked, "What else is the matter with you?" ”

He blinked his eyes and changed from a cunning businessman to an innocent commoner, "Why not, I have helped you so much, I have to give you something in return." ”

Zhenling pursed his lips, knowing that there was no such cheap thing in this world, especially in the face of such a treacherous businessman, how could he let himself work in vain, "Tell me what's the matter?" But you'd better be prepared, I don't necessarily say yes. Zhen Ling clasped his hands on his chest and looked like he was going to be a scoundrel.

214

Shangguan Yunfan smiled, but he didn't mind and said, "I only need to let Empress Xiao say a few good words for the emperor in Xia, and I know that the emperor is going to buy a large amount of grain and grass, can I let this business be done in Xia." ”

A profiteer is a profiteer, no matter what he does or what he says, there must be profit behind it. Presumably this business is not a small amount, otherwise Shangguan Yunfan would not have come forward in person.

Zhen Ling hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I can pass the word to the eldest lady, but whether the eldest lady will help you or not, we can't care." ”

Shangguan Yunfan saw that Zhenling agreed, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Zhenling, just pass the word on." With that, he smiled and turned away.

After Shangguan Yunfan left, Zhen Ling's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he turned around and walked to the table to pick up his long sword, "We must do our best to find Xue Tianao!" He's dangerous right now. As he spoke, he was about to go out.

was stopped by Megatron, "Where are you going to find him now?" We have no idea where he fled. We still need to think about this matter again, since Xue Tianao has escaped, he will definitely not let Guo Ping and them catch him lightly, he is not an ordinary person. ”

Zhen Ling frowned and said worriedly, "Then what should I do?" Can't let the eldest lady know that Xue Tianao is here, if she is allowed to know, I'm afraid that she will do something involuntary at that time, every time it is about Xue Tianao, it is always difficult for her to control her feelings. ”

Zhentian agrees with Zhenling's opinion, but at the moment, the most important thing is to find Xue Tianao, and he can't let him fall into Guo Ping's hands.

The two of them calmly thought of a way in the front hall, this is the Chu State, although Zhentian and Zhenling used to be killers in Qingfeng Yuan, but they are not famous monarchs, and they can't master so many networks, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find Xue Tianao. He would have gone into hiding, in a place where no one could find him.

"I've got a way!" Earthquake said suddenly.

Quakemon leaned over to him, waiting for his big eyes to look at him, "What's the solution?" Say it quickly. ”

Zhentian said, "This is the capital of the Chu State, no matter where he hides, Guo Ping will find him sooner or later, Guo Ping can't find him, and it will be difficult for us to find him." But we can leave a secret mark, do you remember the mark of the Kyushu Gang's message? If he had seen it, he would have known that there were people looking for him here, and when the time came, let him come here to find us, instead of us looking for him, now he is in the dark, and we are in the light, so it should be easier. ”

Hearing what Zhentian said, he couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "Oh, you also have a light in your head!" This is a good way, this is the Chu State, no one must know the secret of the Kyushu Gang, even if someone finds out, they will definitely not know what it is, so they will do it. Let's hurry up and set it up. ”

Earthquake nodded, and then he and Zhen Ling put secret notes of the Kyushu Gang in many places in the city. I hope that if Xue Tianao can see it, he will come here to find them.

On the other side, the person sent out by Xiao Wanyao was also looking for the key criminal, but she was curious for a while, she didn't know that person was Xue Tianao. Guo Ping naturally wouldn't let him go lightly, even if it changed with Tang Siqi's plan, but Xue Tianao was worth a few states and counties, and he wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

Even if Tang Siqi didn't plan to carry out this plan, Guo Ping still had a way to ask a few states and counties to come over in his hands, and this plan had already been thought of, so he didn't force Xue Tianao anymore recently.

He planned to use Xue Tianao to blackmail Tang Siqi, if Tang Siqi didn't give him those states and counties, he would hand over Xue Tianao, and then tell the world how Tang Siqi planned to frame his ministers behind his back, wanting to get back the military power.

At that time, it can also anger Xue Tianao's father, Xue Qinliang, Tang Siqi must not want such a thing to happen at this moment.

didn't expect Xue Tianao to be able to escape in Lidu Mansion, and he was still in such a state, guarded by so many people, or he underestimated Xue Tianao too much.

A few days later, Zhen Ling and the others got a response next to the secret mark they had left behind, which was left by Xue Tianao. Being able to leave that kind of mark means that he has not been caught by Guo Ping, and one night, Zhenling was sleeping soundly when there was the sound of footsteps on the roof.

She subconsciously grabbed the long sword beside her, and her consciousness instantly recovered to the best state, got out of bed and listened carefully to the footsteps, and slowly walked forward in the room. When she reached the door, the footsteps suddenly stopped, and Zhen Ling was startled, and suddenly opened the door, and saw a figure standing outside.

She drew her sword and pointed it at the man, "Who are you?" ”

The other party was neatly dressed, his hair was flowing, and he stood with his hands in his hands, and when he heard Zhen Ling's words, he slowly turned around, with a faint smile on his face, "Aren't you looking for me?" Although his face was a little pale, he was still dignified and domineering. It is in such a situation that he still does not lose his true kingly bearing.

Zhen Ling slowly put away his long sword, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted, originally thought that under such oppression, Xue Tianao would definitely be unbearable, even if he found this place one day, he would ask them, but it turned out to be like a king in the world. She couldn't help but sigh, that kind of calm and unhurried bearing, really not ordinary people have.

Zhen Ling walked out of the room and smiled, "I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly, I thought ......"

Xue Tianao picked up her words and said, "You still think that I used to be a prisoner, and now I must be trying to escape in all directions?" ”

Zhenling was slightly stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly, "It's a bit surprising." It's just that there are a lot of people looking for you. However it is absolutely safe and you can stay for the time being. ”

Xue Tianao was still standing in place, the cool breeze blew through at night, lifting the corners of his clothes and a few strands of long hair, with a wistful look in his eyes, "Is she okay?" ”

Zhen Ling was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said with a smile, "She is now the queen of Chu State, and her high position is naturally very good, what you are worried about now should not be her, but yourself." She hesitated for a moment and said, "She knows that you are missing, but she doesn't know that you are in the Chu State, and we are worried that she will ...... So I didn't tell her, you might as well stay here first, and we will send someone to escort you out of Chu when the time comes. ”

However, Zhen Ling thought it was a good intention, but he refused, and he laughed softly, "Who said I was going to leave the Chu State? I'm here just to tell you that you don't have to leave those secret notes again, and that this time I won't fall into their hands again, so you don't have to worry. ”

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, but he deliberately hid his eyes in the night, "Don't tell her about me, let her live well." With that, he jumped onto the roof and disappeared into the night.

Zhenling stood at the door for a long time, a cool breeze blew, and he couldn't help but come back to his senses with a cold body, turned around and walked into the house, and slowly closed the door, but his thoughts were always on Xue Tianao.

What kind of person is he?

The next day, Zhenling woke up Zhentian early in the morning, and talked about seeing Xue Tianao yesterday during the meal, "He is indeed a lot haggard, but he doesn't look like a fugitive at all, it seems that he is living well here, probably we don't have to worry about him, after all, he is not an ordinary person, he must be able to handle his own affairs." ”

Zhentian listened to her tell about yesterday's incident, and his heart was slightly relieved, "Then should we tell the eldest lady about this matter?" She is also sending someone to investigate this matter, what if she knows that it was Guo Ping who captured Xue Tianao? ”

Zhenling pursed her lips, "Let me think about it again, I don't know if I should sue Miss Sù now, if I don't tell Sù her, when she knows that we are hiding it from her in the future, it will be us who are unlucky." As she spoke, she took her chopsticks to pick up her favorite dish, and found that the whole dish had been eaten by Zhentian.

She was stunned, her brows furrowed instantly, and before she could speak, she smiled shockingly, "I'll go and serve some more, your appetite has been quite small lately!" ”

Zhen Ling squinted at his figure leaving with a plate, and muttered, "It's all eaten by you, and you say I have a good appetite." While waiting for the food, Zhen Ling knocked on the table with chopsticks while thinking about the question just now.

Hearing footsteps outside, he said, "I decided not to tell the eldest lady that the fugitive was Xue Tianao, in case she knew that Xue Tianao was captured by Guo Ping, with the eldest lady's feelings for Xue Tianao, it would definitely destroy the relationship between her and Guo Ping, in the harem, without the emperor's favor, women can't live at all, so ......"

She turned her head and thought that the person who came would be Zhentian, but when she saw another person, she couldn't help but gag her mouth with her hand.

Zhu'er, who was standing at the door, stared at her eyes in shock, "Miss Zhenling, what did you just say?" Xue Gongzi was arrested by the emperor? Is he in the state of Chu? ”

Zhenling hurriedly got up and stopped Zhu'er, "Shhh...... Why didn't you tell me when you came? I thought it was Earthquake ......" As he was talking, he saw Earthquake coming from the kitchen with a plate, and Earthquake couldn't help frowning, he was too careless just now.

Zhu'er didn't give up, her face was anxious, "Zhenling girl, tell me quickly, is what you said just now true?" Is Xue Gongzi really here? Is that the fugitive him? ”

At this moment, Zhentian had also walked to their side, hearing Zhu'er say this, her brows furrowed slightly, looking at Zhenling, she pouted helplessly, it seems that Zhu'er now knows about it.

Zhenling pulled Zhu'er into the room and sat down at the table, and before she could speak, Zhu'er couldn't help but grab her arm and asked, "Zhenling girl, tell me quickly, what happened?" Is what you just said true? ”

Zhen Ling let out a long sigh, and was not in the mood to continue eating, and finally nodded helplessly, "That's right, what I said inadvertently just now is true." But Zhu'er, don't worry, Xue Tianao is fine now, and Guo Ping won't catch him, you don't have to worry, he's fine. It's just that this matter must not be told to the eldest lady. ”

When Zhu'er heard that Xue Tianao was fine, she was naturally relieved, but she didn't understand why Zhenling didn't let Xiao Wanyao tell her, "Why?" The queen didn't think about it for Xue Gongzi's affairs, she thought about it for a long time, and she kept sending people to investigate his whereabouts. ”

Quark nodded, "I know, I know, that's why I can't let her know." Zhu'er, you stay by her side now, and you know her very well, the eldest lady is very smart and alert, but the more such a person, the more she has a natural Achilles' heel, and Xiao Wanyao's Achilles' heel is Xue Tianao. ”

Seeing that Zhu'er didn't understand what she meant, Zhen Ling explained, "If you let the eldest lady know that Xue Tianao is in the Chu State, and know that Guo Ping arrested him, and know that Guo Ping is now sending people to hunt her down, do you think she can still stay in the palace?" She's going to give birth in a little more than a month, so you're not going to sue her for such a thing at this time, are you? ”

215

After Zhenling said this, Zhu'er recalled how sad and anxious Xiao Wanyao was when she knew that Xue Tianao was missing, and she couldn't sleep every night, and she persuaded her for a long time to cheer her up a little.

Zhu'er couldn't help biting her lower lip, this matter really couldn't be known to Xiao Wanyao.

In order to convince Zhu'er, Zhenling couldn't say anything about it when she was killed, and added, "Now that she is the queen and Guo Ping is the emperor, if you let her know about this matter, do you think she will still treat Guo Ping like before?" If Guo Ping knew that the man she had been thinking about was Xue Tianao, how would Guo Ping treat her? When the time comes, if she falls out of favor, I'm afraid that even the queen in the harem will not have a good time. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu'er gasped, and naturally thought of Huo Yongdie, she couldn't wait to grab Xiao Wanyao's handle.

nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, this matter must not be told to the queen." "She already knew how Xiao Wanyao cared about Xue Tianao, and she also understood what Zhen Ling said just now, 'Xiao Wanyao's Achilles' heel. Then he let out a long breath, "When I didn't hear what I just said, I don't know." I don't know! ”

Zhen Ling nodded, finally said her back, and patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, you just don't hear anything, if the eldest lady blames it in the future, it will all be pushed on us." ”

Zhentian, who was on the side, looked at the two women, and couldn't help but shake his head, and then asked, "Zhu'er, did you come here today to have something to do with the eldest lady?" ”

Zhu'er nodded, "That's right, the queen sent me, but she also asked you to investigate the fugitive's affairs." ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment at the same time, it seemed that Xiao Wanyao was idle in the palace, and she was very curious about these things! Zhen Ling frowned and said, "When you go back, you say that you have sued us, and then we will investigate the fugitive." ”

Zhu'er couldn't help but be worried, "But if we keep tracking, sooner or later the queen will still know who that fugitive is." What to do then? ”

"Things can only go one step at a time, now the main thing is the body of the eldest lady, and the rest of the matter will be talked about later. We will also try our best to find a solution. ”

In the end, Pearls can only listen to them and follow their plan.

After returning to the palace, Zhu'er looked preoccupied, and on two occasions she almost knocked over the teacup on the table, Xiao Wanyao noticed that she looked strange, so she asked what happened. Zhu'er found a reason to prevaricate, and then tried to control her feelings.

On a bustling street in the capital of Chu State, a mysterious figure flashed by. After that, two more men followed. In a narrow alley, the mysterious figure stopped and turned to face the two men who were chasing him.

When the two of them saw Xue Tianao, they were all stunned, "Sure enough, it's you!" ”

Xue Tianao looked at them and smiled slightly, "You have been following me for many days, can you tell me what is going on?" ”

The person sneered, "It's okay to sue you, anyway, you're going to die here soon." The Emperor of Wei sent us to ask for your life, 10,000 taels of gold. ”

Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, but he was a little surprised, but there was a natural expression on his face, "It turns out that I am worth 10,000 taels of gold, but Tang Siqi is willing to spend it." It's just a pity that you can't take my head, let alone the 10,000 taels of gold. ”

As soon as the words fell, several black-clothed people suddenly appeared at the mouth of the alley, and before the two people could react, they attacked them. Xue Tianao just stood there and watched coldly, until the two of them were subdued by his own men, he walked over and sneered, "Everyone thinks that now I must be hiding everywhere like a lost dog, no matter what others think, how can I control it." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the alley, only two screams were heard behind him, and then he returned to silence. And those black-clothed people who suddenly appeared, like fools, quietly disappeared in the alley.

Xue Tianao came to one of the most luxurious inns in the city, and returned to his room, where Fei Mo was already waiting, "Childe is full of people looking for you now, it's best not to walk around so that no one will find you." ”

He just smiled faintly, sat down at the table, picked up the tea that Fei Mo had prepared a long time ago, and took a sip, "How is the matter that asked you to investigate?" ”

Fei Mo said, "The subordinates have investigated clearly, and Guo Ping did have a deal with Tang Siqi. ”

Xue Tianao snorted coldly, slammed the teacup on the table, frowned, and remembered that when he was interrogated by Guo Ping in Lidu Mansion, he also said that he would take the initiative to hand over a few states and counties, so he let himself go. He had guessed at the time that there must be some conspiracy behind this, and now it seems that it is true.

Fei Mo continued, "Tang Siqi wants Guo Ping to get a few states and counties from Gongzi, and then get rid of Gongzi on the charge of treason, and then he can also take away military power from the hands of the right prime minister at that time. It's just that there seems to be something wrong between them, so Tang Siqi is now sending someone to assassinate you, and the two people we killed just now are probably Tang Siqi's people. ”

His gaze deepened again, with a hint of mockery and a hint of cold arrogance, and said faintly, "Guo Ping originally wanted to act according to the plan, because he did threaten me. But then it never appeared, presumably because he wanted to use another way to get those states and counties, Tang Siqi must have been worried that Guo Ping would tell the deal between him and him, so he came to kill me, and then he could blame Guo Ping for my death and keep himself out of the matter. ”

Fei Mo took a deep breath, he didn't expect Tang Siqi to hesitate to commit treason in person in order to get military power.

Xue Tianao was silent for a moment, with a hint of interest in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I'll get their wish." ”

Fei Mo hurriedly asked, "Childe, what are your plans?" Xue Tianao turned his eyes to look at him, revealing a strange smile.

Half a month later, the Imperial Palace of Chu State. Guo Ping was reviewing the folds, and Wu Yong, the father-in-law in charge, was standing aside and waiting. A little eunuch outside came in to pass the word, and he turned and walked out, and the little eunuch whispered a few words in his ear before leaving.

When Wu Yong returned to Guo Ping's side, Guo Ping didn't look up, and asked while reviewing the folds, "What happened?" ”

Wu Yong replied, "Back to the emperor, the fugitive from Lidu Mansion has been found." ”

As soon as the words came out, Guo Ping immediately stopped the movements in his hand, and his eyes sank, "Where is he now?" ”

Wu Yong said, "It's in Lidu Mansion, it's just ...... He's dead. And unrecognizable. ”

Guo Ping put down the pen and wanted to see it in person, but when he heard Wu Yong's words later, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Dead?" ”

"Yes, the eunuch who replied to the emperor said that he was burned to death by fire, and he was unrecognizable."

Guo Ping couldn't help frowning, and then got up, "Prepare the car, I want to go and see it myself." With that, he took Wu Yong out of the palace.

When Guo Ping came to Lidu Mansion, Xue Tianao's charred corpse was placed in the middle of the main hall, Wu Yong couldn't help pinching his nose with his hand when he saw the corpse, but Guo Ping walked over with a stern face.

The corpse had been turned beyond recognition, and it was impossible to see who he really was. Guo Ping couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and then asked, "Where did you find him?" How can you tell if he's the fugitive? ”

The person who originally guarded Xue Tianao stood up and said, "The emperor returned to the emperor because his subordinates found him, and his subordinates have found a suspicious person in recent days, and after investigation, it was found that it was the fugitive we were looking for, but in addition to his subordinates, there were other people looking for him." ”

Guo Ping paused, "Who?" ”

"The subordinates caught one of them, and after interrogation, that person told his subordinates that they were from Wei and were bribed by a person to kill Xue Tianao! But even he didn't know who they were buying. The man said.

Guo Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, the people of the Wei State? There are still people in the Wei State who want to put Xue Tian proud of the people to death? The most important thing is that that person even knew that Xue Tianao was here, in his own hands.

He couldn't help but sneer, and a person's name appeared in his mind, Tang Siqi. Except for him, no one will know that Xue Tianao is here, and only he will want to kill Xue Tianao.

Guo Ping didn't ask anything more, if those people were really bought by Tang Siqi to kill Xue Tianao, then Xue Tianao might really die. He turned his head to look at the charred corpse on the ground, his brows furrowed, he respected Xue Tianao's personality very much, and he also admired his personality, but it was a pity......

He withdrew his gaze, "Bury him!" Then he took his own people and prepared to return to the palace, and just as he was leaving, the man who checked the corpse handed him a jade pendant with the word Yao in his hand.

Guo Ping paused slightly, "What is this?" ”

He said, "Back to the emperor, this is what the slave found from the corpse when he examined it, and it must be something he carried with him." ”

Guo Ping took the jade pendant in his hand and turned around.

Sitting in the carriage back to the palace, Guo Ping closed his eyes slightly, thinking about what happened, and suddenly thought of something, he took out the jade pendant, looked at the Yao character on it, and his brows tightened, Yao, Xiao Wanyao? Scold... It seems that that person is really Xue Tianao.

He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

Xiao Wanyao also heard about the fugitive found in Lidu Mansion, but she couldn't tell who the other party was, but she heard that Guo Ping seemed to have taken something from that person's body.

But it doesn't seem to be the one I'm worried about, so I didn't think much about it.

On this day, Guo Ping came to Xiyun Palace, deliberately let the people next to him have no manners, so he walked in alone, Zhu'er saw Guo Ping hurriedly got up and saluted, "Slaves and maids see the emperor." ”

By the time Xiao Wanyao looked up, he had already walked in front of her, leaned over to her side, and looked at the strategy of governing the country in her hand, "The queen likes to read books on governing the country recently, but she doesn't like to read medical books very much." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled very lightly and put down the book in her hand, "The concubine is stupid, some people say that managing the harem is more difficult than governing the country, so the concubine may be able to use it if she takes a look." ”

Guo Ping sat down opposite her, his face was not so happy, "It's hard work, and I have this hard work." ”

She stared at his face, obviously seeing that he had something on his mind, and then asked, "The concubine just wants to manage the harem for the emperor, originally thought that they were just living together, but I didn't expect that there were so many things to do." ”R1154
