Chapter 725: Midnight Ghost

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan actually used the method of women competing for wind and jealousy, she trapped Qingsui without a trace, and won a month's time.

Even though Zhou Xianyu didn't say it in his mouth, he was really impressed in his heart.

Don't look at Zhou Xianyu's ups and downs in the court for several years, but this is not what he wants, let alone what he is good at, everything is just forced by the situation.

Back then, Xue Yi, the queen of power, once said it incisively.

Zhou Xianyu is an invincible tiger, and Xiao Jinxuan is the other party's eyes.

These two alone are not to be feared, but when combined, they are enough to make anyone feel terrified.

And now Zhou Xianyu is not good at power and tricks, and these shortcomings of scheming people's hearts have also been helped by Xiao Jinxuan again, and they have made up for it very well.

When Zhou Xianyu solemnly thanked Xiao Jinxuan, he didn't want to waste this precious month.

Therefore, he immediately went down and hid in the shadows, and began to mobilize manpower to investigate and find evidence against the people of Chen Hou's party.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, she didn't say anything about the day and night in the past two months, but she was indeed extremely tired.

I didn't rest for a moment when I came back, and immediately rushed to the back house to deal with Lin Qingsui's affairs.

Now that Zhou Xianyu has gone to do business, Xiao Jinxuan can be regarded as being able to rest a little.

Then she chose the Yacui Residence in the palace, which was more secluded next to the lotus pond, and this attic was set as a place to live in the future.

And after the maidservant was tidied up, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't bear the feeling of fatigue, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep on the soft collapse.

Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't rested well in the soft for a long time, slept for several hours this time.

It wasn't until sunset, when the bright setting sun shone into the attic, that she woke up.

After lying down comfortably for a while, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but sit up, just when she wanted to ask someone to bring in some hot water for her to bathe and cleanse herself.

Suddenly, Xiao Jinxuan heard a voice outside the two-story attic window, which could not hide her excitement, but was extremely slight, and it came in clearly:

"Master, my subordinate Su Qi has come to greet you, and he and the hidden guards are waiting for your orders at any time. I don't know if the master will wake up, and it is inconvenient for the subordinates to come in. ”

Outside the window, Su Qi's familiar voice, Xiao Jinxuan naturally heard it, and knew that the other party must have been notified by Bai Chu, so she immediately rushed over.

At the same time as the loyalty of these old departments, Xiao Jinxuan also immediately said:

"Su Qi, I'm asleep, you should wake me up, don't stand outside, come in quickly." I am very happy to know that you are all safe again. ”

As Xiao Jinxuan's words fell, I saw that the window had already opened.

Then Su Qi's flexible figure flashed and appeared in the room.

It's just that Xiao Jinxuan was slightly surprised that Su Qi was still accompanied by someone, and she also knew this person, it was Li Dao, the captain of the secret guard under Zhou Xianrui back then.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan looking at Li Dao with doubts in her eyes, Su Qi couldn't help but immediately knelt down on one knee and said:

"Master, forgive me, after you left the Great Zhou, the secret guards of Emperor Qi's old department were exterminated by the eldest princess of Xiangping and others. After all, Senior Brother Li and I are from the same school, and they both worship the two of Chiling and Chiying as their teachers, so Senior Brother Li is now in charge of the hidden guard with me. And the news of your return to Da Zhou, I also made the decision to tell my senior brother truthfully, if the master feels that Su Qi's move is inappropriate, his subordinates are willing to be punished. ”

Seeing that Su Qi had just finished saying the punishment, Li Dao on the side also said that he had taken it.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at this pair of brothers who were not harmonious in the past, but now they are quite united, and couldn't help but smile suddenly.

"Don't talk about the two of you, Li Dao is the old department of Emperor Qi, and King Rui's kindness to me back then, even if the two of us later separated from Germany, I Xiao Jinxuan definitely never forgot it. And I know Li Dao's character, since he is willing to join the hidden guard, he is absolutely loyal and will definitely not do anything harmful to me. As for the past, let's call it all over, this time I returned to Da Zhou for only one purpose, that is, to get rid of Chen Houxiang and others, and I need your help. ”

Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words of complete trust, Li Dao was grateful, and at the same time, he said with hatred flashing in his eyes:

"From now on, I will only recognize you Xiao Jinxuan as the master. And the master didn't know that the eldest princess of Xiangping and others couldn't tolerate the secret guards back then, because we found out that the cause of death of His Majesty Emperor Qi was strange. And the Empress Dowager Chen was bewitched and didn't believe in our loyalty, so if you deal with these people, although the master commands it, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire. Killing them is not only to avenge Emperor Qi, but also to seek justice for my brothers who died tragically in the secret guards. ”

are all old acquaintances, and Xiao Jinxuan is a clean and neat character in the face of business.

Therefore, he no longer continued to talk politely, and when Li Dao's hateful words were finished, Xiao Jinxuan immediately instructed:

"Now that I have Lai Dao here, it's easier for me to do what I want to do. Originally, I wanted to ask Su Qi to sneak into the palace, perform a good show in the imperial study, and get in touch with Zhu Xin. But now that Li Dao is here, and you have served in the Imperial Palace, it is safest for you to handle this matter. Come forward and do what I will teach you next, and make sure that you do things for me beautifully. ”

Waiting for Li Dao to get up, he listened to Xiao Jinxuan explain to him what he ordered.

After remembering every word firmly, he couldn't help but immediately say with a sinister smile:

"The county lord has returned, and those of us who are hidden in the shadows have a backbone. When Emperor Qi was still alive, he talked to his subordinates that it is not an exaggeration to call the master's wheel strategy Zhuge among women. And that Yu An, if I had seen the clues of this former head of the palace a few years ago, maybe Your Majesty would not have been murdered. Now that I can take care of this eunuch, I feel happy when I think about it. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then couldn't help but say again:

"Li Dao, you have to remember that no matter how big the grudge in your heart is, Yu An must not take his life. And a dog slave like him who betrays his master, it is too cheap for him to die, do you have to grasp the balance and remember. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Dao, who had always had a cold face, actually grinned, and then bowed to Xiao Jinxuan again, and immediately retreated.

After seeing Li Dao leave, Xiao Jinxuan looked at Su Qi again, and then solemnly instructed:

"Now that the situation in the court is chaotic, the arrogance of Chen Houxiangping and his party has obviously overpowered Xianyu, and this is absolutely inseparable from Ji Lingfeng, who is good at collecting intelligence and giving advice. Although I have entrusted your hidden guard to the hands of Xianyu for many years, it is clear that he is indeed not proficient in the art of power and scheming, and he has not used your power reasonably. Therefore, Xianyu will continue to do your best on the surface, but from now on, your real and main task is to do everything possible to collect all kinds of information for me. From the inner courtyard of the palace to the residences of major officials, all the news of any small amount of value was immediately sent to me. ”

In the competition between the two forces, without intelligence, it is equivalent to losing eyes and ears, and those who will inevitably be suppressed are at a disadvantage.

Xiao Jinxuan, who deeply understood this, had invisibly competed with Ji Lingfeng, who was hidden behind Xiangping and was also in charge of intelligence snares, and once again competed silently.

And let's not talk about how Su Qi executed it immediately and efficiently after receiving the order.

Speaking of the Great Zhou Palace, which has already fallen at night, there are verdant and flourishing trees and delicate flowers during the day.

Now under the background of the night breeze, the shadows of the trees are shaking, and the flowers and branches are trembling, to show a bit of weirdness and depth.

And Yu An, who was standing in front of the door of the imperial study, leaned on the doorpost and took a nap from time to time.

He is not a little eunuch who has just entered the palace on an errand, so he is very calm when he sees it.

Compared with Zhou Xianrui's rigor and seriousness, Yu An is now working as an errand for Zhou Xianchen, the Emperor Wen, who can be indulged at will.

Basically, he pretended to stay outside during the day, but after nightfall, he took a nap until dawn, even if Zhou Xianchen called him occasionally, Yu An didn't hear it.

If it weren't for the fact that the head of the imperial palace left his post at night, it would be too unreasonable, and he got the order of Empress Chen, he had to pay close attention to Zhou Xianchen's words and deeds, otherwise he would have retired and met Zhou Gong comfortably.

And taking a nap against the doorpost and still standing, even if Yu An is used to it, this sleep is naturally unreal.

So when Yu An felt that his face was suddenly slightly touched twice, and there was a very itchy feeling, he immediately waved his hand twice in front of his face impatiently.

But it didn't matter if I waved my hand, when I felt in the palm of my hand, I actually grabbed something with a soft texture and a smooth texture, in the form of threads.

Yu An instinctively opened his eyes, intending to see clearly what was disturbing his dreams.

But his eyes had only opened, and he hadn't had time to look down at his hands.

Ran was faced with a seven-hole bleeding, round-eyed, and miserable white man's face, and he appeared in front of Yu An.

And because of this miserable white man's face, he is still half an inch away from Yu An.

Yu An, who was frightened and frightened, could only let out a frightened scream, and it was difficult to see the specific appearance of the other party at all.

And this man, whose face was pale and ghostly, saw that Yu An was about to escape, he immediately stretched out his hands and tightly choked the other party's neck.

Then he used an urn sound, but an unusually angry voice, and his eyes widened and shouted at Yu An:

"You betrayed your master's dog minion, and I owe it to me to trust you so much. Yu An, you hurt me so badly, I was poisoned and killed in the end, all of this was caused by you, you are an accomplice at all. Now that I have been in the earth for several years, my resentment has not disappeared and it is difficult to be reincarnated, I want to take revenge on you who killed me, and now I will kill you first, and tell you to come down to the earth to accompany me. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the ghost man laughed violently several times, and squeezed Yu An's hand even harder.

Until he saw Yu An's eyes roll wildly, the struggle of his hands gradually slowed down, only the last breath was left, and he passed out completely.

Seeing the ghost man snort with great disdain, after throwing Yu An to the ground, he wiped all the blood off his face, and Li Dao's face was immediately revealed.
