The war on the west side of Beihu ended, and Mu Qingfang finally returned to the Beihu Royal Court, during this time in that kind of place, it was still an extremely cold winter, which made Mu Qingfang tired.

After talking to Ashinadoro, Mu Qingfang left Beihu Wangcheng non-stop and went to Shanghaiguan to meet his senior brother Ling Yuefeng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhao Ritian's estimation was indeed not wrong, as soon as Mu Qingfang returned to Beihu Wangcheng, he went to Shanhaiguan, on this day, Yan Zhongdao sent people who used to stalk him to report that he had seen Mu Qingfang's figure, Yan Zhongdao immediately put down the matter in his hand and went to Zhao Ritian to report.

"Grandpa, my subordinates have come to report that Mu Qingfang has appeared in Shanhaiguan." Yan Zhongdao arched his hand.

"Well, as I expected, this stupid woman, knowing that Ling Yuefeng was helping the emperor, she still misses the old so much." Zhao Ritian stroked his beard and smiled.

"Grandpa, it doesn't matter if she's stupid or not, our strategy can be successful." Yan Zhongdao also smiled, in his opinion, the more stupid Mu Qingfang was, of course, the better.

"Without further ado, Zhongdao, get ready, let's set off to Shanhaiguan overnight, let our people be on guard, and don't let those people from the Internal Guard Mansion find out about this operation." Zhao Ritian commanded.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my subordinates have made arrangements, just waiting for my grandfather to leave."

"Zhongdao, I'm still very relieved that you are doing things." Zhao Ritian casually praised Yan Zhongdao.

The two didn't talk any more, Yan Zhongdao said goodbye and retreated, but at this moment, Zhao Bohan came over, nodded to Yan Zhongdao, and walked straight towards Zhao Ritian.

"Father." Zhao Bohan arched his hand at Zhao Ritian.

"Bohan, have you come to find your father?" Zhao Ritian said, he just wanted to make some preparations, but he didn't expect his son to come over.

"Father, a few days ago, I received a report from Wang Bin who was in Beijing, saying that he had caught up with a spiritual master of the Academy of Sciences, and it was said that his talent was not as bad as Ling Yu, so he was suppressed by Ling Yu, and he has been unwilling, and he has some resentment in his heart, Wang Bin is now stepping up his demagogy and wooing him, and it seems that the progress is okay." Zhao Bohan reported.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Isn't Ling Yu's Academy of Sciences inaccessible? How did this happen all of a sudden? Could it be Ling Yu's ploy again? Zhao Ritian asked, he was really afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, Ling Yu's last conspiracy made him miserable, and he had to do it again.

"Father, this time it must not be Ling Yu's conspiracy, this person is called Mo Cheng, his uncle is the appeasement envoy of the Spirit Master Worship Palace, an official with character and no power, Mo Cheng has always been arrogant, according to Wang Bin's words after Mo Cheng drunk, Mo Cheng has an extraordinary talent in the spiritual musket, which makes Ling Yu a little jealous, and vetoed Mo Cheng's proposal several times, originally I thought that Ling Yu was a humble person, but I didn't expect to be jealous." Zhao Bohan smiled.

"Well, Bohan, this matter is well done, but you have to be careful in everything, and at the same time, you can't miss the investigation, and you must find out if this person is a flaw deliberately exposed by Ling Yu." Zhao Ritian said solemnly.

"Good father, the child understands that this time he will definitely not fall for Ling Yu's plan again." Zhao Bohan said firmly, he had great confidence in the matter reported by Wang Bin.

"Well, it's good that you understand, and if this person confirms that there is no problem, then after the wooing is successful, he must find a way to bring his uncle from the capital to Beiping, firstly, to have a clamp on him, and secondly, to ensure the safety of his relatives so as to reassure him." Zhao Ritian said.

"Well, what my father said is very true, I will write to Wang Bin in a while, and ask him to be fully prepared, if this Mo Cheng can bring us some useful information from Ling Yu, then the emperor will no longer be terrible." Zhao Bohan said with a smile.

"Be careful, don't be reckless this time, the father will also pay attention to this matter, if you need any help, just tell the father."

"The child understands, thank you father."

On the second day, Zhao Ritian secretly set off with Yan Zhongdao to Shanhaiguan, Zhao Ritian was extremely cautious about this trip, and said that he was sick before leaving, except for Yan Zhongdao, and the secret guards he personally cultivated followed him to protect him secretly, and the rest of the people didn't know, including Zhao Bohan, everyone thought that Zhao Ritian's health was not very good and he was recuperating at home.

Beiping to Shanhaiguan is actually not far, but Zhao Ritian's behavior is secret, basically day and night, walking on the inaccessible remote road, so the time is longer, and when they arrive at Shanhaiguan, it is already more than August.

The Zhao family naturally has a lot of secret strongholds in Guancheng, and even Zhou Zhengxiong's Internal Guard Mansion has not found all the secret strongholds, although some have been eliminated, but there are also many omissions.

At this time, Zhao Ritian and his entourage took advantage of the night, with the cooperation of the mountain navy, to infiltrate the city, and then hid in the secret stronghold, waiting for the opportunity.

Although Ling Yuefeng has been in Shanhaiguan for a long time, it's just that he is only sitting in the town, and he doesn't have the right to command the army, even if he does, the mountain navy will not listen to him, so his existence is just to let the heads of the mountain navy settle down, and he doesn't dare to make too many mistakes, otherwise he will be beheaded by Ling Yuefeng and cry, after all, in Shanhaiguan, no one can beat Ling Yuefeng.

After settling down, Zhao Ritian asked Yan Zhongdao to go out to contact his subordinates in Guancheng to find a suitable opportunity to meet Mu Qingfang.

"Grandpa, my subordinates have already ordered her to go down, but in Guancheng, I'm afraid that there is no suitable place for my grandfather to meet Mu Qingfang, so my subordinates have to send someone to wait on the road she must pass, and when she comes out of Ling Yuefeng, I will invite her to come here to see my grandfather." Yan Zhongdao reported when he came back.

"Well, that's a good arrangement, so let's rest first, it's getting late." Zhao Ritian waited for the definite news, then relaxed, and hurried for days, he was naturally a little tired, and at this time, the heart that had been hanging a little bit was put down, and sleepiness inevitably hit. March Chinese

"Yes, grandpa, then the subordinates will not disturb the grandpa's rest, and the subordinates will retire." Yan Zhongdao withdrew after saying goodbye.

I didn't say anything all night, and I was really tired of Zhao Ritian, who was not young, and he didn't wake up until noon after sleeping, and he was woken up because Yan Zhongdao came to report the news.

"How's it going, Nakado, how are things arranged?" Before Zhao Ritian could come to wash, he hurriedly asked.

"Grandpa, don't worry, Mu Qingfang has already been contacted, and she also agreed to come over to see Grandpa in the evening." Yan Zhongdao was full of joy, he didn't expect Mu Qingfang to agree so easily.

"Hehe, that's good, the old man will be much more relieved." Zhao Ritian smiled heartily, he was afraid that Mu Qingfang would not be moved, and when she returned to Beihu Wangcheng, then he would definitely not be able to go by himself, and he could only let Yan Zhongdao run once, and it would be even more difficult to say whether it would succeed or not.

Then, Zhao Ritian simply got up directly, washed up and dined, and waited for Mu Qingfang to come.

didn't let Zhao Ritian wait too long, Mu Qingfang came to the door in the evening, and didn't wait until the evening to come back as she said.

Yan Zhongdao respectfully welcomed Mu Qingfang into the living room, Zhao Ritian was sitting on the chair and looked at Mu Qingfang with a smile and said, "Mu worship, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always good?" ”

"Okay, there's something to talk about, are we familiar with each other?" Mu Qingfang said impatiently.

Zhao Ritian was a little displeased when he saw Mu Qingfang's tone like this, but after all, he didn't care too much about it, and continued to smile: "Mu Xianfeng, sit down and have a cup of tea first, let's talk slowly." ”

Mu Qingfang didn't bother to talk nonsense, so she sat down to drink tea according to what Zhao Ritian said, and then looked at Zhao Ritian and motioned him to hurry up.

"Ahem, Mu worship is like this, you know that Lingwu Marquis Ling Yu beside the emperor, right?" Zhao Ritian saw that Mu Qingfang didn't even speak, so he no longer greeted, and directly entered the topic.

"You know, my senior brother's disciple, my senior nephew, what's wrong, is what you want to say related to him?" Mu Qingfang asked.

"Uh...... Mu offering, I know he is your nephew, what I want to say is not this, let's put it this way, now that the emperor is in his help, the strength of the army is getting stronger and stronger, if you don't get rid of him quickly, then what the old man wants to do may be difficult to do, and then you want to make the emperor's country ruined, there is no chance, the old man and Mu are both glorious. Zhao Ritian explained.

"Get rid of him? Then what are you sending someone to do with me? Isn't it just an intermediate spirit master, and now there is a fifth-level spirit master at most, can't your Zhao family even send a high-level spirit master? Mu Qingfang looked at Zhao Ritian with disdain.

"Mu worship doesn't know, the old man even sent out Lu Antang Lu worship, but he couldn't kill him, he not only has an eighth-level spirit master around him, but also hundreds of troops in and out of the escort, like a hedgehog, so that the old man really can't start." Zhao Ritian smiled bitterly.

"Zhao Ritian, you have to know, that's my nephew, you actually asked me to kill him, was your head caught in the door?" Mu Qingfang's voice improved.

"Mu worship is a little restless, the old man is also thinking about you, you think, Ling Yu will make all kinds of weapons, you must know, and now the weapons he makes are getting more and more powerful, and he can already carry people into the sky, you say, what does the old man's army use to fight with the Beijing army?" Zhao Ritian hurriedly reassured.

"Manned flight? Can he do it? Mu Qingfang was a little shocked at this time, she also knew that the weapons that Ling Yu had made seemed to be more powerful than those Xiyi she had seen before, but she didn't know that Zhou Zhengxiong's army already had such an ability.

If it is really as Zhao Ritian said, then what revenge does she have, Zhou Zhengxiong is the emperor, there is a large army in the capital, and there is a spiritual master guard in the palace who is no less than her, she can't do it if she wants to do it to Zhou Zhengxiong alone.

That's why she will find another way, counting on Zhao Ritian to successfully overthrow Zhou Zhengxiong, at that time it will be much easier for her to kill the enemy, and let Zhou Zhengxiong's country ruin, this kind of pain may make Mu Qingfang more happy than killing him.

"Yes, Mu Worship, not only that, he also created a weapon that is more powerful than a musket, it seems that Xiyi also uses it, something called a spiritual cannon, I heard that that thing can kill and injure dozens of hundreds of people when it goes off." Zhao Ritian continued to bewitch.

"Is it really as you say?" Mu Qingfang was a little surprised, she had seen Xiyi's artillery, and it was indeed as Zhao Ritian said, it was extraordinary, but Xiyi was very little equipped, and that place was not suitable for artillery combat at that time, after all, Beihu's army was cavalry.

"It's true, Mu Xianfeng, now you have the hope of being able to deal with this scourge, if we let him develop again, I'm afraid that all our plans will fail." Zhao Ritian said.

"But...... He's my nephew...... Senior brother he ...... "Mu Qingfang hesitated a little, Ling Yu is her nephew, she doesn't want to touch Ling Yu in her heart, after all, Ling Yu is Ling Yuefeng's heart, and Ling Yuefeng is the only senior brother that Mu Qingfang regards as a relative now, if she does this, I am afraid that she will definitely break with her senior brother in the future, at this time, Mu Qingfang's heart is in love with the hatred of her lover and her brother's feelings are in a fierce confrontation.

"Mu worship, maybe you will be a little interested in one more thing, and listen to the old man." Zhao Ritian smiled mysteriously, he knew that if he didn't say it, he would not move Mu Qingfang, after all, Ling Yu was her nephew.

"Huh?" Mu Qingfang replied vaguely, she was still struggling in her heart, and she didn't care what Zhao Ritian was going to say.

"That's the case, Mu worship, more than ten years ago in Beiping Mansion Ling family extinguished the door must also know, that is because the Ling family has a strange treasure from the sky, although the old man doesn't know what it is, but I heard that it appeared with the birth of the young master of their family, and there is a vision, as far as the old man knows, the young master of the Ling family is the current Ling Yu, the old man of the strange treasure also went to look for it at that time, but he didn't get it, it must be on Ling Yu." Zhao Ritian said, he vaguely brought over the matter of his destruction of the Ling family, and only said that the treasure was on Ling Yu.

Mu Qingfang also roughly knew that the destruction of the Ling family was a good thing done by Zhao Ritian, but she didn't break it, this strange treasure successfully aroused Mu Qingfang's interest.
