Zhao Shengtai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The Queen Mother will have nothing else, but there will be no shortage of wine and meat." Brother Wang, we are our own family, worshipping the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is just a skin, the real purpose is to unite people's hearts, others can't eat meat and drink wine, but your brother Wang doesn't have to be like this. ”

Qin Xiao thought that fooling the people was fooling the people, what to say to unite people's hearts, he still had respect for Zhao Daxue, but he was still very disgusted and disdainful of the methods of Zhao Shengtai and others.

"Big brother, do we really want to join the Queen Mother's Association?"

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, Yuwen Chengchao's words were sincere, if he didn't know the roots, Qin Xiao really thought that he was a heartfelt word.

"Brother Wang is really a cheerful person." Zhao Shengtai showed joy, clapped his hands and said: "The queen mother will get two help, it is really a great joy." Xiang Buzhou said: "Nozhou, you tie up this surnamed Liang first." It's not good to stay here in Dongguang County, let's leave here as soon as possible after seeing the divine envoy. Glancing at Liang Shubao on the ground, he sneered: "Turn around and behead this person, and sacrifice the dead brother in blood." ”

Liang Shubao's officials sent crossbow arrows and shot several Queen Mother congregations, Zhao Shengtai naturally would not give up, that is, to use Liang Shubao's head to pay tribute to the subordinates who died in battle.

Yu Buzhou was naturally extremely angry with Liang Shubao, and immediately asked his subordinates to tie up the unconscious Liang Shubao.

"Brother Wang, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave here first and go to see the divine envoy together." Zhao Shengtai raised his hand and said.

Yuwen Chengchao shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, my two brothers can't both go together." ”

Zhao Shengtai was stunned, and Yuwen Chengchao had already explained: "Since I have decided to join your Queen Mother Association, I might as well say something directly." Although the Queen Mother will want to restore Li Tang, but in the eyes of today's court, it is a chaotic party, with all due respect, I am with you, and there is no difference between rebellion and rebellion..... Hehe, anyway, I'm doing things with my head up. ”

"Brother Wang's words are not rough." Zhao Shengtai bowed slightly.

"I only have two brothers, if they both join the Queen Mother's Association, once they lose, both brothers will lose their lives, and they will be extinct in my generation." Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "Sir, do you understand what I mean? ”

Zhao Shengtai glanced at Qin Xiao, nodded slightly, and said, "What does Brother Wang mean?" ”

"I'll do the work with you." Yuwen Chengchao said: "But my brother will be exempted, let him go back to his hometown and don't get involved." Without waiting for Zhao Shengtai to say more, he had already said to Qin Xiao: "Wu Dynasty, Mr. Zhao and I are going to do great things, if they are really successful, they will naturally go to you at that time, but if they die in the hands of officers and soldiers, don't look for me, live well." ”

Qin Xiao's heart sank, and he changed slightly, but fortunately, he was wearing a hood, and others couldn't see the change in his expression.

"Big brother, ..... you?" Qin Xiao's voice was a little anxious.

Yuwen Cheng said to Zhao Shengtai: "Mr. Zhao, I want to say a few words to my brother alone, there are some things to tell him, .....what do you think?" ”

"Brother Wang is at his own convenience." Zhao Shengtai was slightly disappointed, but did not show it.

Yuwen Cheng glanced at Qin Xiao, and the two walked to a secluded place, and Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "Eldest prince, what are you going to do here?" Really want to join the Queen Mother's Club? ”

"Have you ever thought that the Queen Mother would have a relationship with Li Huo's gang?" Yuwen Chengchao also asked in a low voice.

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and Yuwen Chengchao sneered and said: "The Queen Mother will secretly operate in the Guan, and the imperial court must know very little about them, if they really collude with Li Huo's gang, it will become a great disaster." ”

"They use cults to deceive people's minds and fool the people, and the people do not know the details and are deceived by them." Qin Xiao said softly: "At the moment, we don't know how strong they are, but if the Queen Mother really cooperates with Li Huo's rebellion and creates turmoil in the Guannei, hundreds of people will definitely suffer from it." ”

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles." Yuwen Chengchao's eyes were sharp: "If the Queen Mother is really the nail buried in the pass by Li Huo's gang, it must be eradicated." The court doesn't know much about them, so I just took the opportunity to join them and find out as much as possible about their situation, so that it would be much easier for the court to exterminate them. ”

Qin Xiao had vaguely guessed Yuwen Chengchao's thoughts before, and said in a low voice: "Eldest prince, it is true that Zhao Shengtai wants to win us over to serve the Queen Mother's Society, but he will not be less suspicious of us. Although it has not yet been revealed, if you really enter the Queen Mother Association, they will secretly investigate your details, once they know that you are the eldest son of the Yuwen family, you are alone, in the tiger's den, then you will ......! Although he didn't continue, his tone was full of worry.

Yuwen Chengchao patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" I knew they would be suspicious of me, and their suspicion of me would never go away anytime soon, and they would eventually be able to find out who I was. But you don't have to worry about me, I know how to deal with it. The voice was slightly cold, and said: "I have a family feud with Li Tuo, and I also have a national hatred, that group of people not only killed the general, but my father was also killed by them, in my life, there is only one thing left to do, that is, to wipe out Li Tuo and his henchmen, but I will not let go of any of his people, including the Queen Mother." ”

Qin Xiao said: "It's really not possible, I will pretend to join the Queen Mother Association with you, and we will take care of each other......

"You are going to Kyoto and together with Han Duwei to tell the imperial court in detail what happened in Xiling." Yuwen Chengchao said: "What happened in Xiling, you are a witness, I have already told you what you didn't see, what you have experienced is the truth, Han Duwei was in Guicheng at the time, and he did not witness what happened in Fan County, when he arrived in Kyoto, if he reported to the imperial court, there would be people who would question what he said, but you are a witness, no one can doubt the facts you recounted." ”

He knew that Qin Xiao was still relieved, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about me, I know how to protect myself." If I do find out something, I'll find an opportunity to send you the information when the time comes. ”

Qin Xiao knew that Yuwen Chengchao had made up his mind, and persuasion was useless.

And what Yuwen Chengchao said is not wrong, the queen mother will hide in the people, and has not yet been alerted by the imperial court, because the activities are secret, the imperial court

There must be very little known about them, and once they accumulate strength and cooperate with the Xiling forces outside the Guan, it will definitely be a huge threat to the empire.

If Yuwen Chengchao can find out the situation of the Queen Mother's Association, when the imperial court really sends troops to encircle and suppress it, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

The two whispered a few words, and then returned to Zhao Shengtai's side, and when they saw Yuwen Chengchao coming, Zhao Shengtai arched his hand and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Ling really can't go with us?" ”

"Mr. Zhao, I will try my luck when I hand over my life to the Queen Mother, and if I am young, I have already arranged for him to go back to his hometown." Yuwen Chengchao said: "With his bloodline remaining, I don't have to worry about the future, and I can let go of my hands and feet with you in the future." ”

"In this case, although there are regrets, it is already our luck that Brother Wang can gather with us for a big event." He took out a few silver tickets from his arms, sent them to Yuwen Chengchao and said, "Since Brother Ling is going to return to his hometown, this little entanglement should be regarded as a little heart, please accept it with a smile." ”

Yuwen Chengchao was not polite, took the silver ticket, did not count, and handed it to Qin Xiao and said: "You take this silver, if I die, you don't have to come to me, if I live, I will definitely pick you up in the future." ”

Qin Xiao hesitated, finally put away the silver ticket, put it into his arms casually, and said, "Big brother, you ..... Take care. ”

Yuwen Chengchao nodded, Zhao Shengtai bowed his hand to Qin Xiao, Yu Buzhou and several black-robed people also bowed their hands to Qin Xiao, and the holy maiden Qingqing stood beside Zhao Shengtai and said to Qin Xiao: "Thank you for saving us today." ”

Qin Xiao just nodded, and Zhao Shengtai had already said: "Brother Wang, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go." Turning around and going to the deep mountains, naturally he wanted to take a detour elsewhere to avoid those officials, Yuwen Cheng nodded slightly towards Qin Xiao, said no more, turned around and left with Zhao Shengtai and a group of people.

Qin Xiao watched their figures disappear into the mountains and forests, then took off his hood, looked at the direction they left for a long time, and finally turned around and went down the mountain.

It is naturally not difficult to avoid those officials, he went around the mountain for most of the circle, and then he got out of the mountain, knowing that Han Yunong must be in a hurry to wait in the village, and he did not delay, and followed the road when he came, and went to the village.

When I returned to the village, it was already the second half of the night, and the villagers who had left the village before did not seem to have returned. It was Han Yunong's voice.

"Captain, it's me." Qin Xiao approached, and when Han Yunong saw that he was the only one, he immediately asked, "Where did the eldest prince Yuwen go?" ”

Qin Xiao immediately told Han Yunong what happened tonight from beginning to end, and did not hide it.

Han Yunong was shocked and said: "The eldest prince infiltrated the Queen Mother's Association to go undercover? This..... It's dangerous. ”

"The eldest prince suspects that the Queen Mother will collude with Li Huo's gang, and wants to get in and find out their details." Qin Xiao was also worried about Yuwen Chengchao: "He has made up his mind, and it is difficult to convince." ”

"The eldest prince is really brave and strategic." Han Yunong sighed: "Since he has decided, we can only pray that everything goes well for him." He frowned and said: "When the sage ascended the throne, many local states and counties rebelled, among which Murong Changdu, the king of Zhennan, was the leader. Except for Murong Changdu, all the other rebels have been pacified, but there are indeed many remnants in exile, and it seems that these people have secretly gathered together again, and they are preparing to make a comeback. ”

"Will there be a shadow of the Murong family behind the Queen Mother's meeting?" Qin Xiao had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Could it be that they are secretly supported by the Murong family behind their backs?" ”
