"Luo Zhuxin does not reveal his profound martial arts, I am afraid that it is to attract the enemy to approach again. And what about later? Did she take revenge? Xu Zhilan asked.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Whether the Luo family's revenge will be avenged, no one knows. A year later, the heroes of the rivers and lakes held a martial arts fight on the occasion of worshiping the old man Luo, and the intention is self-evident, the Luo family has declined, and the name of the first in the rivers and lakes should be handed over. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the Luo family is the first in the world and belongs to the defending side. The final winner was Su Ruhai of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and the night before he competed with Mo Wentian, the representative of the Luo family, Luo Zhuxin made an appointment to meet Su Ruhai. The next day, Mo Wentian and Su Ruhai fought for hundreds of rounds, and finally Mo Wentian won by a narrow margin. ”

"The Luo family has retained the title of the number one in the world, but what does this have to do with my father?"

"I don't know about this matter! Mo Wentian's strength is naturally known in the Luo family's heart, and Luo Zhuxin showed his profound force after everyone left. He guessed that Mo Wentian might have wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, although he knew that his dream had failed. Mo Wentian didn't dare to marry a child openly, so he raised a concubine outside, but he didn't expect that the concubine was discovered by Luo Zhuxin after giving birth to his daughter Mo Shishi. Later, Luo Zhuxin killed the concubine, but did not kill Mo Shishi. ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhilan stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing, as for what role Xu Zhao played before and after the Luo family tragedy, I'm afraid outsiders won't know, but this prevents Xu Zhilan from speculating on other things: Xu Zhao didn't give birth to a boy, and when she decided to start the princess as the emperor's plan, Mo Guifei didn't think about it, because she was just a concubine, and the daughter she gave birth to belonged to a concubine. Princess Huayang died, and Xu Zhao cultivated Princess Jinyang, who was also born to Queen Wang, which was also in line with the rules. But later, Xu Zhao picked Princess Ziyang again, and Concubine Mo couldn't sit still.

Then, Xu Zhao's choice of Princess Chongyang instead of Princess Luoyang shows that Mo Wentian has mastered many secrets of Xu Zhao, so that Xu Zhao has to give priority to Princess Chongyang. Further speculation, if Mo Wentian uses the powerful power of the rivers and lakes to destroy the other princesses, let Princess Chongyang finally reach the top. When Chongyang succeeds to the throne, he must consider the Mo family. Since then, it is imperative for Chongyang to help his father destroy the Luo family's forces and return the cousin surnamed Luo to the Mo ancestral hall.

There are currently three groups of people who are likely to assassinate the princess:

The first group: Luo Zhuxin, as the boss of the rivers and lakes, must also think of this, she is likely to do it to Princess Chongyang, but not to other princesses.

The second group of people: At the beginning of the Western Regions Pass, he sent killers to kill witnesses and accelerate Qin Yougui's mastermind, was it Xu Zhiyuan or Mo Wentian who helped his daughter speed up his ascension? Considering that Xu Zhiyuan was often active in Lingyun Pass, Xu Zhilan temporarily attributed the Qin Yougui incident to Xu Zhiyuan's head.

The third group of people: The killers who appeared in front of the Sitong Dart Bureau were most likely people sent by Mo Wentian, in order to lead the target of suspicion to Princess Ziyang! If it was Xu Zhiyuan, he would definitely kill Xu Zhilan, who was a model for women to participate in politics set up by Xu Zhao, instead of just testing it.

Xu Zhilan thought of this, if Princess Luoyang followed the trip to Yangtao County this time, she would face the assassination of two groups of people. Xu Zhilan secretly thought: Anyway, the three parties will not assassinate themselves, otherwise, pretend to support Princess Chongyang, take her to Yangtao County, attract Xu Zhiyuan to assassinate her, and let the people of Tiger Roaring Heights come to a battle of attack and defense?

"Zhao Yun, this king sent you over this time, not for the princess of Chongyang, but mainly to ask if you intend to go to Yangtao County as an official?"

"Students are willing to serve their teachers!" Zhao Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

"Good! This king will appoint you as the supervisor of Yangtao County, from the fifth grade, and the same level as the Jian Governor's Mansion. ”

After Zhao Yun thanked him and left, Xu Zhilan thought about it and came to Shuya Palace.

When Concubine Mo heard that Xu Zhilan was visiting, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly came out to greet her in person.

Arrange for the palace maid to put fresh seasonal melons and fruits, and after a few polite words, Mo Guifei consciously withdrew the slave.

Xu Zhilan didn't plan to talk nonsense, and said: "The noble concubine must have heard from Sister Chongyang that this king has solved the leakage crisis. ”

Mo Guifei nodded, knowing that Xu Zhilan was definitely going to negotiate the conditions, she took the initiative to say: "If King Yang Tao lets Chongyang lead the troops to defeat the Jingyang Kingdom, after the matter is completed, the land of Nanling will always belong to King Yang Tao!" ”

"Don't hide it from the concubine, my father once asked which princess this king admires the most?"

"I don't know who King Yangtao means?" When Mo Guifei asked, she stared at Xu Zhilan's eyes, and found that she was a little rude, or she was too nervous, so she picked up the tea and took a small sip.

"My father is very gracious to this king, and he is telling the truth. The person who belongs to this king's heart is none other than Princess Luoyang! ”

Mo Guifei's face changed for a moment, the teacup in her hand trembled slightly, and after a two-second pause, she said "oh" and said no more.

Xu Zhilan took everything in his eyes, and then said: "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and arrows are flying all over the sky. Chongyang's younger sister is shy and timid by nature, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to take on this responsibility. I don't know if the concubine thinks so? ”

This is also what Mo Guifei is worried about, but she has to defend her daughter, saying: "Before the war, Luoyang was indeed heroic and had the demeanor of a general, if thousands of troops and horses attacked on the opposite side, she may not be as calm as she was in the hunting ground." ”

"The noble concubine is reasonable, but before the war, the three princesses had no experience in commanding wars, even if this king recommended Chongyang as the deputy marshal, I am afraid that the civil and military officials will not approve of it."

Hearing the meaning of Xu Zhilan, it seemed that she did not give up Princess Chongyang, and Concubine Mo asked: "In the opinion of King Yang Tao, what should I do?" ”

"Princess Luoyang came to my Yangtao Palace yesterday and wanted to go to Yangtao County with this king. In the future, when the king returns to Yangtao County, he will be regarded as returning to his hometown and province, and there is no forbidden army to escort him along the way, so when the king welcomes the princess of Luoyang, he also emphasizes that he will not provide security for her. ”

After speaking, Xu Zhilan blew lightly on the teacup, and did not look at Mo Guifei's expression.

Mo Guifei analyzed in her heart: Princess Jinyang and Xu Zhilan are incompatible, and what Xu Zhilan can support is Luoyang or Chongyang. Among the three most likely successors appointed by Xu Zhaoqin, as Xu Zhilan said, I am afraid that the most optimistic candidate for all ministers is Princess Luoyang. Because of her daughter's lack of ability, Concubine Mo's promise to Xu Zhilan should be the most favorable. Then, if Xu Zhilan wants to support Princess Chongyang for his own interests, Princess Luoyang must die! But when it comes to killing Luoyang, Xu Zhilan will definitely not do it himself. The reason is also simple, no matter who becomes the emperor in the end, Xu Zhilan is the king of Yangtao, and after defeating the Jingyang Kingdom, there will also be an increase in fiefdoms, so there is no need for him to take risks.
