Shi Luosheng nodded and said, "Don't doubt it, I'm sure it's him, but I haven't figured out what his motives are?" Just when the third prince asked about Gao Lan and Gao Yi, the lord of Ningmen, I thought Zhang Qiyu had something to do with the Gao family, but since he was a son of a poor family, he should be consistent with Emperor Yan, why would he want to assassinate us? Could it be that Emperor Yan didn't want to form an alliance with our Great Song Dynasty at all? ”

Ning Zefeng was a little surprised when he heard this, and said: "You can rest assured that Your Majesty is absolutely sincere in forming an alliance with the Song State." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Luosheng doesn't dare to doubt the Lord of Ningmen, but in this case, I really can't figure out why Zhang Qiyu did this?" ”

Ning Zefeng asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask Taifu, why are you so sure that Zhang Shaofu has a problem?" ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Layton was trapped by me on Shouyang Mountain, and the people of Chu State didn't know about it, and when they reacted, Layton would have starved to death." That day, we left Shouyang Mountain and rushed to Guangyuan City, and then we didn't stop and went straight to Anyang City, and only stayed at Jiulong Waterfall for half a day in the middle. But in such a short period of time, Layton was able to appear in Jiulong Waterfall, which is only one possibility, that is, when we were in Guangyuan, someone spread the news that Layton was trapped in Shouyang Mountain back to Chu State, so that the Hidden Star Sect rescued Layton as soon as possible, and chased us all the way. When Leighton arrived, Zhang Qiyu took the opportunity to lead us up to the Nine Dragons Waterfall for Leighton and Shen Xun to assassinate us, which also explains why those masked men were bent on taking our lives, but they didn't kill Zhang Qiyu. ”

Xiao Che and Ning Bu followed what Shi Luosheng said, pushed what happened that day in detail, and found that Zhang Qiyu was really suspicious.

Ning Buqu was also a little unconfident and asked Ning Zefeng: "Father, the assassin may indeed be attracted by Zhang Shaofu, is it really His Majesty's plan to break the alliance with the Song State?" ”

Ning Zefeng saw that his son also said the same, it can be seen that Zhang Qiyu has a problem, is it really His Majesty who has changed his mind? Ning Zefeng is not sure now.

Xiao Che asked a little anxiously: "Taifu, if it is true that Emperor Yan intends to dissolve the covenant, then the peace between Song and Chu will not last long, is it necessary to return to the way before, and our Great Song Dynasty will face the three kingdoms of Chu, Yan, and Qin at the same time?" ”

Shi Luosheng comforted: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, it's all our speculation now, although it is certain that Zhang Qiyu has a problem, but it can't be inferred that it is the meaning behind Emperor Yan, there may be things in it that we don't know, everything can only be concluded when we see Emperor Yan tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Shi Luosheng asked Ning Zefeng again: "By the way, who else is in Zhang Qiyu's family?" What is his wife's background? Shi Luosheng wanted to find a breakthrough from Zhang Qiyu's family.

Ning Zefeng thought for a while and said: "Zhang Shaofu got married relatively early, and he got married before he became an official. By the way, his wife is from your Song Kingdom, and he also spent some time in the Song Kingdom in his early years. ”

Shi Luosheng's eyes lit up and asked, "Song Guoren?" What is his wife's last name? ”

Ning Buqu replied first: "Zhang Shaofu's wife's surname is Tian, and before we went to Guangyuan City together last time, he invited me to his house once and met Zhang Shaofu's wife. ”

Shi Luosheng realized: "The surname is Tian? The reason may be this, can the Lord of the Ning Sect help find out the origin of Zhang Qiyu's wife? ”

Xiao Che also reacted: "Taifu means that this matter is related to Taiwei Tian?" ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said, "There is this possibility, everything will not be known until after the investigation." ”

Ning Zefeng knew that this matter was related to the covenant between the two countries, and he also attached great importance to it, so he called in the two of them, and after admonishing them, the two went their separate ways.

The five of them continued to drink, and an hour later, the two came back and handed a note to Ning Zefeng, who said to Shi Luosheng after reading it: "Taifu is not bad, Zhang Qiyu's wife is the niece of Tian Yulong, the captain of your Song Kingdom, and the youngest daughter of Tian Yufeng. ”

Shi Luosheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now I can explain Zhang Qiyu's motives, when I was in Xu County, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I investigated the case of Jin Ziyuan, which involved Tian Yufeng, causing him to be beheaded." Originally, no one knew that this case was done by me and the prince, but now it must have been found out, and since Zhang Qiyu is Tian Yufeng's son-in-law, he naturally wants to seek revenge on me. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Luosheng stood up and walked a few steps, and continued: "This is also an opportunity for us, as long as we can solve a difficult problem, we can convince Emperor Yan." ”

As soon as Xiao Che heard that there was an opportunity, he asked eagerly, "What problem?" ”

Shi Luosheng said: "The person who pursued and killed us was a member of the Hidden Star Sect, and Zhang Qiyu, a child from a poor family, was unlikely to have a relationship with the Hidden Star Sect. ”

Ning Zefeng asked, "Taifu is talking about Gao Lan?" ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said: "Yes, it's Gao Lan, Gao Lan contacted his cousin Gao Yi, and Gao Yi told Shen Nanxing the news again, and the rest of it was explained, and now it's the most important part, what is the relationship between Zhang Qiyu and Gao Lan?" If this problem is solved, all the problems will be solved, what will Emperor Yan think when he sees that the person he trusts is actually colluding with Gao Lan behind his back? ”

Ning Zefeng replied: "There is no doubt that Your Majesty will be angry, although Gao Lan may not be the end of it, but Zhang Qiyu's political career will definitely be over, and then Gao Lan will not be able to mention the matter of forming a good alliance with Chu and dissolving the alliance between Yan and Song." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "What Lord Ning said is good, but I'm afraid this problem is not easy to solve. ”

Xiao Che said with confidence: "Now that the key to the problem has been found, there will always be a way to solve it." Master Ningmen, the hour is not early, we will not bother, see you in the palace tomorrow. ”

After Ning Zefeng sent Xiao Che away, he asked Ning Bu Qu: "What do you think of Shi Luosheng?" ”

Ning Bu Qu said: "This person can only be a friend, not an enemy." ”

Ning Zefeng has always valued his son, but he didn't expect him to have a higher evaluation of Shi Luosheng than his own, and asked, "What makes you so optimistic about him?" ”

Ning Buqu explained: "On Tianzhu Peak, I originally just thought that Shi Luosheng was just lucky, and he won the first place in the Young Hero Contest by abandoning the competition by others. Later, my father told me that this man was not simple, so I secretly observed him. This way from Guangyuan to Anyang, the more you look at this person, the more unfathomable you feel, take martial arts as an example, everyone thinks that his martial arts are mediocre and not outstanding, but in the face of the pursuit of the Hidden Star Sect, what kind of character is Hou Ying, even he can't protect Jiang Huan Chu's brothers and sisters to get out safely, but is seriously injured. Later, it was Shi Luosheng's turn to take over Hou Ying and take the injured Jiang brothers and sisters, not only fled back to Yan unharmed, but also killed all the people who pursued them, of course, it was another matter for Leighton to be rescued later. Even if there is one more Liu Zixuan in the middle, it can be inferred that Shi Luosheng's martial arts are at least above Hou Win. ”

Ning Buqu continued: "Besides, Deng Yuanjue is the number one handsome in the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that with his vision, he can collect stones and fall into the ranks and be promoted to a righteous son, can this stone fall and rise simply?" He is not a child of a family, he is a child who is even more humble than Zhang Qiyu, Deng Yuanjue must not accept him out of political considerations, but purely because of his ability. ”

Ning Zefeng nodded and said, "Your analysis makes sense, is there anything else?" ”

Ning Buqu said again: "The most feared thing about Shi Luosheng is not martial arts, when there are many people, he has never revealed martial arts, and his strategy is unguardable." Let's talk about Shouyang Mountain first, in the face of Shen Chai and Leighton, it will definitely not be solved by martial arts alone, he must have used some strategy to trick those people into the cave. Speaking of Jiulong Waterfall, Shen Xun and Layton obviously had the advantage, but in the end, they were not only frightened by Shi Luosheng and returned in vain, but also lost two good players. Then there is tonight, my father and I didn't see that Zhang Qiyu had a problem, but he already knew it, and he found the crux of the problem after a meal, can such a person not make me jealous? ”

After listening to Ning Unyielding's analysis, Ning Zefeng said with a solemn expression: "I will tell Your Majesty and your uncle about this matter as soon as possible, we must not start a war with the Song State, otherwise I have a hunch that the war will make this person the next pillar of the Song Kingdom." ”
