After sending the Dragon King and the others away, Fang Xiaoyu immediately instructed the Moon Shadow Division to start collecting the big and small things that had happened in Deer City during her absence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

First of all, there were several unpleasant incidents between the court and the rivers and lakes, but at first they were just a few small things. The real conflict came from the fact that the imperial court suddenly sent King Ning to guard Lucheng, and King Ning's iron-blooded methods made the martial arts people hate him, and after Ning Wang killed many Jianghu people, the contradiction between the two sides escalated to the point of irreconcilability.

After that, the two sides confronted each other several times, but neither of them took the initiative to back down, and the two sides did not have any idea of reconciliation.

King Ning's methods were fierce, and the Dragon King's hatred for the court was undiminished, and the attitudes of the two leaders of the two sides directly determined that the two camps were almost to the point of dying.

Since then, Deer City has been in turmoil.

At first, there were killers who assassinated the people in the rivers and lakes, most of whom were old people who had become famous, and achieved the role of killing chickens and respecting monkeys. But because among the leaders of the Jianghu side was the Dragon King, a person who hated the court, this move of the court did not discourage the people of the rivers and lakes, but provoked a fierce resistance from the other party.

In addition, the killers of the underworld from time to time make obstructions, pretending to be people from the court to assassinate martial arts people, although most of them 'did not succeed', but they completely aroused the anger of martial arts people. The escalation of the conflict between the Jianghu and the imperial court almost led to a situation of killing when they met.

There are also some people who fish in troubled waters because of personal grievances, and they can't prevent it, so this conflict is further exacerbated.

Lucheng is now in chaos, and blatant murders abound on the streets. And Mu Wangfu joined the camp of the rivers and lakes and began to work against the imperial court, which was also the main reason why the old emperor was angry and sent King Ning to calm down the incident.

And Xiao Jin, the Frost King, disappeared suddenly, never appeared in Lucheng again, nor did he return to the imperial court, let alone hide in King Mu's mansion. It was as if he had evaporated from the world, as if he had never appeared.

In fact, Xiao Jin disguised himself and hid in the dark, he didn't have to do anything, there would be people from Mu Wangfu to stir up this pool of troubled waters for him.

And during the time of the Lucheng turmoil, a lot of things happened in the capital.

King Yun's grandson Xiao Tan and King Meng's grandson Xiao Ping, these two people had a very unpleasant quarrel. It is said that the reason is because of a piano player.

This piano player is naturally the owner of the Jade Pavilion, Ayaqing.

Xiao Tan really has a little love for Ayaqing, and after Xiao Ping learned about this, it seemed that he was deliberately against Xiao Tan, and began to launch a tough emotional offensive against Ayaqing.

Ayaqing wants to join a wealthy family, preferably in the Emperor's House, and then open a convenient path for her family to settle in Tiandu City.

She originally wanted Xiao Tan because Xiao Tan was a little sincere to her, but she was in a dilemma in Xiao Ping's straight ball.

Xiao Ping is the eldest grandson of King Meng, who has won the true legend of King Meng, and is an unusually old man, but on the surface, he looks like a gentleman.

He knew that Xiao Tan liked Ayaqing, but he could see Ayaqing's ambition in an instant, so he gave her conditions that she could hardly refuse, asking Ayaqing to be his concubine.

These conditions are enough to ensure that Ayakiyo's family has a firm foothold in the capital. And because Xiao Ping is the eldest grandson of King Meng and the heir of King Meng, he has a certain degree of command over King Meng's forces, so he can make such a condition alone, because he himself can guarantee that he will fulfill this promise.

And Xiao Tan, although he is the little grandson of King Yun's favorite, he can't mobilize King Yun's power, because there is a Xiao Yu above him.

The first confrontation between the two seemed to be won by Xiao Ping's strength, but what no one expected was that Ayaqing would let Xiao Ping have such a generous condition and chose Xiao Tan.

Among them, of course, there is Ayaqing's own plan, but it also has the role of Ye Xici in it, which makes Ayaqing believe that in this battle for succession, King Yun's chances of winning are much greater than that of King Zhimeng.

And in this short period of time, Ye Xici formed an alliance with Ayaqing.

Xiao Tan was proud of winning Xiao Ping, and Xiao Ping was also angry because of this.

But Xiao Ping didn't lose his mind because of this, he just secretly investigated the reason, and then pointed the finger at Ye Xici, the person Xiao Tan knew in the Jade Pavilion. After that, he came into contact with Ye Xici for the first time.

The initial routine is naturally to buy. But Ye Xi was unmoved, but 'inadvertently' and 'quickly' revealed some news to Xiao Ping.

Ye Xici's identity was well hidden, Xiao Ping asked someone to check, but he only found out that he was a person from a hidden sect in the Dayu Dynasty, because he took his little sister down the mountain without permission and his master was angry, he came to Tiandu City to take refuge, and then he met Xiao Tan by chance. I looked down a little further, but I couldn't find anything anymore.

Xiao Ping did not doubt this. One is that his power has not yet reached out to the Dayu Dynasty, and the reason why the Hidden World Sect is a Hidden World Sect is that it is difficult to investigate is the most normal.

As a result, Xiao Ping began to pay attention to Ye Xici's every move.

He found that since he got acquainted with Ye Xici, Xiao Tan has been in the wind and water for a while, and even the limelight has faintly overwhelmed Xiao Yu, and he has been praised by King Yun many times, which also caused Xiao Yu to be quite jealous of Xiao Tan, and even more murderous to Ye Xici, who gave advice to Xiao Tan.

So, Ye Xici was assassinated in the inn.

The man was fine, but he hurt his arm. The other party suddenly killed the killer while he was asleep, and he also lost Ye Xi's vigilance, so he didn't let the other party really get it.

This incident caused Xiao Tan to be furious, and he privately asked someone to investigate, but the spearhead was faintly pointed at Xiao Yu.

In fact, Ye Xici's assassination was indeed instructed by Xiao Yu, but Ye Xici's injury was deliberately done by himself and shown to Xiao Tan.

Without Fang Xiaoyu by his side, Ye Xici has not been able to sleep peacefully, and his sleep is very light every night, and the slightest noise can wake him up.

And the assassin was hiding in the room, he noticed it at the beginning, but pretended not to know, deliberately asked the assassin to succeed, injured him, and then killed the assassin, and then arranged the scene again, and made some fake clues, it seemed that Xiao Ping sent someone to do it, but after careful investigation, Xiao Tan pointed his target at Xiao Yu, the purpose was to cause hostility between them and disturb the peace of the Yunwang Mansion.

Xiao Tan's martial arts skills are not good, but he has a solid literary foundation and is deeply loved by the civil and official group. And Xiao Yu was both civil and military, but he was placed high hopes on King Yun.

Originally, Xiao Tan was unwilling to be suppressed under Xiao Yu's reputation, and Xiao Yu was also jealous of Xiao Tan's status in the minds of those in the civil official group. But instead of exacerbating the contradictions, they maintained a false peace. Therefore, Ye Xici's purpose is to break this balance and make the Yunwang Mansion start a fire first.

And his second step landed on Ayakiyo's body.

Ayaqing is a smart person, she not only wants to marry into the emperor's family to gain status, but also feels that King Yun's chances of victory are greater than that of King Meng, but she is not in a hurry to stand in line, because she knows very well that King Meng and King Yun have been competing for the crown prince for decades, and they are actually evenly divided. It's just that the advantages of the Cloud King are more obvious, and it depends on the old emperor's attitude towards the Cloud King.

But that doesn't mean King Meng will definitely lose. Therefore, she made preparations with both hands in her heart, although she rejected Xiao Ping's condition of being a concubine, but in fact, she chose Xiao Tan as a double agent-like role.

She's leaving a way out for herself. Even if King Yun fails in the future, she will leave a way out for herself.

And Xiao Ping knew her little abacus, but she still quietly accepted such a result, because Xiao Ping knew that women can be a foil for men's success, or they can be a stumbling block for men's failure.

Since Xiao Tan has some sincerity towards that Ayaqing, then there is an opportunity to take advantage of this woman. It's a good idea to keep this woman for the time being, and you may reap unexpected results in the future.

However, just a few days later, Ayakiyo was also assassinated.

Although she did not die, she was seriously injured and unconscious. Her maid Lianzi blocked a fatal blow for her and died on the spot, but she was lucky enough to wait for Ye Xici's rescue, but she was seriously injured, but she was unconscious.

Xiao Tan was furious about this, and asked someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

He originally suspected that Xiao Ping had done it. Because he hated Ayaqing for rejecting him and took revenge, he used such methods, but in the end, the results pointed to Xiao Yu.

Ayaqing's assassination was originally a play, a play that Ye Xici and her had long been united.

Ayaqing didn't know Ye Xici's true purpose, but Ye Xici wanted to win Xiao Tan's trust, so he helped Xiao Tan remove Xiao Yu's obstacle, and his purpose was just for glory and wealth.

And she, since she chose Xiao Tan, then she must plan for Xiao Tan to be able to take the position. She wants to be a woman who can help Xiao Tan, so that although she can't become a wife, she can use her mind to become the capital of favor.

She saw it very thoroughly, and in the royal family, no one could refuse the temptation of that throne.

King Yun and King Meng are already seventy or eighty years old and have never given up the position of prince, and the two brothers have been fighting for decades.

Although the old emperor is a hundred years old, he is strong and strong, if either King Yun and King Meng succeed, I am afraid that he will be nearly a hundred years old, at that time, even if Xiao Tan cannot directly inherit the throne and become the emperor, at least he must help him become the crown prince first. This is the purpose of Ayakiyo's alliance with Ye Xici.

Their goal is Xiao Yu.

You have to help Xiao Tan get rid of Xiao Yu first.

Aya Qing would wake up intermittently several times during her 'coma', each time she was groggy and talking like a dream, but it also had a certain part of the consistency with the 'truth' that Xiao Tan sent someone to verify.

Coupled with Ye Xici's arrangement, Xiao Tan already has almost no hidden dissatisfaction with Xiao Yu. After a few days, the smell of gunpowder between Xiao Tan and Xiao Yu also filled the entire Yunwang Mansion.

And King Yun knew about the little thing between the two of them, but he didn't interfere.

The Xiao family of the Great Zhou royal family, they are almost innate indifferent to feelings. Not without exceptions, but few are pitiful.

Probably under the influence of the old emperor, King Yun was not averse to the struggle for status in the family, nor was he disgusted with what kind of means they used.

In his heart, the losing side is the dog of the loser, without any reason or excuse, and it is also the garbage that he can discard at any time. Therefore, not only did he not stop Xiao Yu and Xiao Tan from fighting, but added a fire to it, making the competition between the two even more tense.

This also brought a lot of convenience to Ye Xici.

At the same time, Ye Xici was not idle. He used the people of the Moon Shadow Division in Tiandu City to quietly spread some news.

The mess of messages is all sorts of things. And in these messy news, there are some details hidden in Da Cheng's dispute between the bloodline of King Yun and the bloodline of King Meng.

Xiao Ping noticed this detail that was not easy to notice when he heard all kinds of gossip.

He is the heir of King Meng's inner designation, so he naturally knows some things.

He had also heard some things about King Meng's bloodline in Dacheng. But today he noticed from these rumors that it seemed that in this matter, King Yun was superior, Zhou Ling actually hugged Ye Shucheng, the real King of Meng's bloodline, into the palace at the beginning, and replaced his son out. Over the years, they have always thought that it was people of their line who were doing things for them in Dacheng, but they didn't expect it to be dark under the lights, and they didn't find that they had been quietly infiltrated.

Xiao Ping didn't dare to slack off.

After all, rumors are just rumors, and they cannot be listened to and believed, and they still need to be verified. Therefore, Xiao Ping repaired a letter and asked the old man stationed in the Northwest Tree House.

The old man didn't seem to belong to any faction, but in fact he had taken refuge with him a long time ago. Leaving him in the woods on the northwest border was also to better find out the news of Dacheng.

Recently, there has been some news from this old man from time to time, so Xiao Ping didn't know that this old man had been caught by Fang Xiaoyu a long time ago to pass on his skills to the emperor to suppress the poison of forgetting worries, and now he has been dead for hundreds of years, and his body is about to turn into bones. And the old man in the tree house on the northwest border was a disguise from Fang Xiaoyu's Yuesi.

Whether it was his regular delivery of news to King Meng, or his contact with that person, it was all done by a fake old man.

After receiving Xiao Ping's letter of inquiry, the 'old man' replied according to the letter that Ye Xici had explained at the beginning, naturally saying that after some investigation, it seemed that there was really such a thing. But what he said was not so certain, with a little doubt, but it made Xiao Ping feel more real.

After all, what happened in the city of Dacheng Wang, it is too easy to know, but it makes people feel suspicious.

Xiao Ping received the old man's reply, looked at the so-called 'investigation results', and knew that the matter could not be delayed, so he hurriedly reported it to King Meng.

After King Meng got the news, his face was calm, but he actually bit a mouthful of silver teeth. What he didn't know was that King Yun's people had such a method, and they were actually the ones who had been calculating him from the beginning. So he sent someone to Dacheng overnight to lurk, and ordered to secretly kill the person who pretended to be the king of his family, and he must not be allowed to successfully enter the palace and become the second prince, otherwise if the other party really won Dacheng without blood, he would no longer have any chance to turn over, and his advantages would be gone.

And the father, he doesn't care what means they use. My father was a man who only looked at the results. If King Yun can really win the great inheritance, his father will only think that he is a person with means and ability, and he will not care about what happened halfway.

So he can't make excuses, he can only remedy these mistakes as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will be considered incompetent and become an outcast. (To be continued.) )
