After Song Yu heard Concubine Rong say the words "I intend to make friends and find Zhongshu Ling", the skeptical nerve in my mind suddenly tensed.

Could it be that King Ning also wants to cultivate his own power?

Ever since he knew that Song Mo liked the daughter of Zhongshu Ling Zhao Yuheng, he began to pay attention to himself, the fifth brother, intentionally or unintentionally.

What is the position of Zhongshu Ling?

That's a first-class member second only to the prime minister, and there are too many intertwined forces behind him to count.

Moreover, Song Yu has been fighting with Song Lin and Liang Ziqing all these years, and has never cared about Zhao Yuheng, who is silent in the court.

If he really married his daughter to King Ning and became a relative, it would mean that Zhao Yuheng and King Ning's power would become one, and with such a strong strength as a backing, King Ning's threat to his succession in the future would probably be even worse than Liang Ziqing, Song Lin and others!

Even if Song Mian has no heart to fight, doesn't he Zhao Yuheng want to become the national ruler and don't want his daughter to become the queen?

The more Song Yu thought about it, the more he felt a chill in his heart.

"No! I'm going to ruin this business! ”

Song Yu made a secret decision in his heart, and at the same time, the corner of his eyes silently glanced at Song Miao, who was sitting under him.

Eastern Capital, East City, Jingkangfang, Tiwei Mansion, Youchu

Xiao Chongguang returned to Tiwei Mansion and saw many Tiwei standing in the courtyard with a smile, but he didn't know any of them when he looked at them.

"Lord Xiao!"

One of the men in a guard suit saw Sogo and immediately bowed to him, and the others bowed to him with their hands crossed.

"You are the servants of Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Yes, our clothes were asked by Lord Lu to change, and it was said that Lord Xiao meant you." The errand officer saw Xiao Chongguang's doubts, so he explained in passing.

"Yo, I'm back, what a coincidence, I'm just done changing here."

Lu Yunsheng smiled and walked briskly from the hall to Sogo.

Xiao Chongguang nodded, then patted Yunsheng's back and said, "Let's go, I have more important things to tell you now." With that, the two of them immediately turned into the inner hall.

"What's so mysterious?" Lu Yunsheng was puzzled.

Xiao Chongguang said: "Now it can basically be concluded that the person who assassinated you was Dou Yin of the Haijiao Sect. ”

"It's really this guy!"

Lu Yunsheng was slightly surprised, because no matter what, the Haijiao Sect was also a major sect on the rivers and lakes, and its disciples were all over the world, and they had already made a name for themselves. A big sect like this would actually come out with a rebellious thief who assassinated the officials of the imperial court.

"Now that it has been ascertained, then the people I sent to investigate Guo Ting and Cockburn must also be withdrawn immediately." Lu Yunsheng said.

Xiao Chongguang said: "If you can find out, you have to thank Dou Yin for the letter he wrote to his junior brother Cao Zixiao." ”

Yun Sheng frowned: "What's the matter, the Haijiao faction is in collusion with the murderer in this case?" ”

Sogo shook his head: "No, that letter is just a personal connection between the two of them." ”

After a pause, he seemed to think of something, and said: "However, it is better not to rule out the suspicion too early, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone in their sect instructed it, or maybe it was Dou Yin's personal doing, at least there is no doubt about whether their sect is involved or not." With that, Sogo told all of what he had seen and judged today.

Lu Yunsheng groaned and said: "Since we know that it was Dou Yin who did it, then we might as well conduct a secret search of the whole city, and by the way, inform the secret guard, as long as he is in the city, he will not be able to escape from our palms!" ”

"Don't be reckless, although we know his identity and haunting point, we don't know where he is, and you also said that he has accomplices, and he is afraid that a rash search will startle the snake." Xiao Chongguang disagreed.

"So what do you say you should do?"

"We're going to continue with the original plan, you see, those officers have already changed into our official uniforms, so can't we let them take them off right away?"

"That's fine. The original plan was more secure. ”

"By the way, the chivalrous warrior named Ji Yun you talked about last time, the Secret Pavilion has investigated clearly, his identity is innocent, looking at his resume, I think that with his martial arts, he is enough to deal with an assassin with high martial arts like Dou Yin, and he can be included in our Tiwei Mansion, both now and in the future. He can make a big difference. Xiao Chongguang suddenly remembered this and said.

Lu Yunsheng sneered: "If you want to accept, people don't necessarily want to join." ”

"Didn't you say that you could convince him with your incorruptible tongue? What's the matter, now it's no tricks? Xiao Chongguang teased.

"I said that, but, for a point, you have to go with me."

"Why? There are so many things in the Tiwei Mansion, you and I must carry them out separately. Xiao Chongguang was puzzled.

Lu Yunsheng said: "I don't want to either, but to persuade Ji Yun can only use the method of agitating generals, to put it in layman's terms, it is a competition." I need Brother Xiao for you to fight with him, if you win against him, he will naturally submit. ”

"Competition, competition, why don't you go on yourself?"

"Uh······ I couldn't beat him, and I met him because he saved my life. Yunsheng said helplessly.

Xiao Chongguang was speechless.

After being silent for a while, he cleared his throat and said, "Let's do it, let's arrange tonight's plan first, and then we will go to Ji Yun, anyway, he is in the imperial capital, and he is not in a hurry at this time." ”

"It's fine."

Xiao Chongguang patted Yunsheng's shoulder: "Let's go, the brothers outside and those errand servants are still waiting for us." ”

"Wait."

Sogo was about to leave, when Yunsheng suddenly stopped him: "Brother Xiao, I suddenly thought of something?" ”

"What?"

"You just said that Liang Xiang ate red grapes, which surprised me a little." Lu Yunsheng said with a solemn face, "Why does Liang know so much about this wild fruit?" Knowing the specific location and season, as well as the local people, is like talking about your hometown. ”

Xiao Chongguang smiled and said: "I was present at the time, and I also mentioned this sentence, and Liang Xiang explained to me that he had traveled in Yanzhou in the past. ”

"No, I always feel that Liang Xiang doesn't feel like he lives there," Lu Yunsheng shook his head, "I have a bold idea, Liang Xiang, is from Yanzhou." ”

Xiao Chongguang frowned: "How is this possible, Liang Xiang is obviously from Xuzhou, and the year before last, he also went back to Gaoyan County, his hometown of Xuzhou, to worship his ancestors." Besides, as the head of a country, how dare you lie about your origin, this is the crime of bullying the king, and there is no need at all. ”

"That's why I think it's strange." Yunsheng crossed his arms and hugged his chest, pursed his lips, and bowed his head and groaned.

"Don't think about it anymore, for now, let's do a good job of protecting the imperial capital first."

"Yes."

Lu Yunsheng nodded, and walked out of the inner hall with Sogo.

The Imperial City of the Eastern Capital, Qingning Palace, Youzheng

"What? You want to marry Miss Zhao! ”

Song Qi was taken aback, and the whole person stood up from the seat "Teng".

"Silence! Don't make a big deal about it now. ”

Song Yu raised his index finger and put it to his lips and made a small gesture.

"Brother Huang, why do you want to rob women with Fifth Brother? He has never offended or hurt us, so how can we fail Him? Song Qi asked with an incredulous expression.

Song Yu sighed: "Alas, I don't want to, but you think about it a little more, the fifth brother is the son of Concubine Rong after all, he has the name of the virtuous king, and his father has handed over many things to him to take care of. If it goes on for such a long time, sooner or later it will threaten my position as the crown prince, even if the fifth brother has no idea of succeeding to the throne, doesn't that Zhao Yuheng want to be the national ruler? ”

Song Qi frowned tightly and said, "But Brother Huang, no matter what, we can't spoil the people." ”

"What a human being! The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, how is this prince broken? Hugh is going to talk nonsense. ”

"After all, we know about this, isn't this obviously robbing people with the fifth brother?"

"It's come to this, and I can't manage it so much." Song Yu walked to the gate of the palace, looked at the sky, and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Brother Huang, which Miss Zhao do you like?" Song Qi looked at Song Yu's back and asked.

"I've never met her, how to talk about likes and dislikes."

When Song Qi heard this, there was even more surprise in his eyes: "Brother Huang, if you don't like Miss Zhao, and marry her, it will not only hurt the fifth brother, but also Miss Zhao, and make the two of them sad, how can you bear it, Brother Huang?" ”

"That's better than multiple threats in the future!"

Song Yu flicked his sleeves angrily and looked at Song Qi: "Eleventh brother, what's wrong with you today?" Why did you help Song Mill speak so much? ”

"I didn't help anyone, this kind of thing is related to brotherhood and the love between men and women, and I can't blindly support you, Brother Huang." Song Qi's eyes were full of persuasion.

Song Yu scolded angrily: "You haven't been crowned yet, you know what to do, I trust you to say it to you alone, if you don't support it, don't do anything about it!" ”

Song Qi looked at Song Yu with an angry face on his face, he felt that his brother, who had been following him closely, had changed, he was no longer the helpless big brother who needed support and companionship five years ago, and now he has truly become a ruthless and unscrupulous royal prince.

Thinking of this, Song Qi became more and more heartbroken, and turned around and left Qingning Palace without looking back.

Song Yu didn't stop him, and silently watched him leave.

"No! I can't let the imperial brother take this wrong step, I must inform the fifth brother about this matter immediately, so that he can prepare early! ”

Song Qi thought as he walked, and his footsteps also began to head towards the Jingming Palace where Song Milling was.

Dongdu Dongshi Tai'an Fang Ningxin Teahouse Backyard Youzheng

Guo Ting was carrying a bundle of dry firewood to the kitchen.

The bundle of firewood was about the thickness of the trunk of a big tree, but it was carried by Guo Ting on his shoulder with one hand, which shows that his strength is far beyond ordinary people.

This teahouse was opened by Guo Ting's uncle, he was the deputy owner of the Qingzhou Huwei Dart Bureau, and he originally planned to spend the New Year in Qingzhou, but he received a letter from his uncle some time ago, saying that he was old, he couldn't do a lot of rough work alone, and he didn't have the money to hire people to work, so he asked Guo Ting to come to Dongdu to help him, and the New Year was spent with his uncle and nephew.

Guo Ting knew that his uncle had lost his wife at an early age, and a few years ago, his son had died fighting on the front line, which was very cute, so he happily agreed to come down and come to this teahouse to do some rough work.

At this time, as soon as he walked out of the firewood house, he felt someone peeking at him outside the courtyard.

He paused slightly, ignored it, and continued to walk towards the kitchen.
