The capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven is a prosperous place, but on his back, it is a place full of countless insidious cunning, here, there are few wars, so for the common people, although the competition pressure is a little greater, but it is also the safest.

But for those people in the upper echelons, all he wants is to think that he must be fifty steps ahead of others, a hundred steps earlier, perhaps only in this way can he be invincible, even if it will not be recorded by history, but at least he can not die without a place to be buried......

In a remote place in the capital, there is a small house located in it, don't look at the house from the outside to see the dilapidated cut short, that is because you have not walked in to see, as soon as you walk in, you will feel relaxed, although it is very small, but he is indeed a three-story small building, but the first and second floors are sealed to the ground, although the sparrow is small, but it is complete, there is a hole in the inside.

On the roof of the building there was an old man in rags, whose hair was messy, but you could not see a trace of dirt, and whose nails were long, but not a single trace of dirt, and who would sit there and close his eyes when the sun went down.

This is the agreement between him and the love of his youth, they go from youth to middle age, and from middle age to old age, and people will always get older, there will always be joys and sorrows, at this time last year, the person he loved all his life left this world, he was a little sad, but more guilty, guilty why he didn't spend more time with her when she was still there.

He remembered that when he was middle-aged, he had promised her that when the two of them were old, the two of them would be supported by their children and watch the sunrise in the evening every evening.

Even he didn't expect that his efforts were not exchanged for the sweetness of life, but the tediousness that went against the original intention, there were too many things, and after sixty, in his impression, there were only a handful of sunsets he had seen with her.

Now he is finally relaxed, all the things are handed over to the young people to do, even the most important things, he also let go, every evening, he will come to the roof in advance, watch the beautiful sunset, recall his good past with her, maybe people are old, it is inevitable that there will be some emotion, unconsciously, his eyes have been covered by tears.

And he is the head of the many factions in the capital - Tuoba Kui.

Wiping away the tears from his eyes, Tuoba Kui stood up slightly, waiting for those who carried him down......

At this time, Tuoba Kui's detectives also began to arrive one after another. Tuoba Kui looked at them, his old body seemed to be filled with lead, and he walked towards them step by step on crutches.

Those people seemed to be eager to tell him the good news they had gotten, and ran towards him quickly, and everyone knelt in front of him, "National teacher! ”

Tuoba Kui nodded, sat down in the small courtyard, Tuoba Kui does not like the heat, so there is an old locust tree in the courtyard that covers the sky and the sun, but because it is spring, the branches have just sprouted not long ago, the leaves have not yet grown, the sun is scattered down, although a little dazzling, but I have to say that this is the first sunny day after Qingming, but after all, the time has come to the evening, and the sun is not so hot.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Tuoba Kui slowly spoke: "How are things going?" ”

Although Li Cheng is just one of his many grandsons-in-law, and relatively speaking, he is still the most incompetent one, maybe Tuoba Kui has forgotten his name, but he is his relative after all, he, after all, is their big tree, even though this big tree is old, but he is not old enough to walk, he has not forgotten everything, he is still the high national teacher, he can't let the people below see his jokes, he can't let the prestige he has established for so many years be ruined.

They know the character of the national teacher, they will not get angry easily, the reason why they killed their relatives in order to teach Zhao Xuan a lesson, even if that relative is insignificant, they looked at each other, and said after smiling: "National teacher, everything has been arranged, there is not the slightest clue, no matter how powerful Zhao Xuan is, it is estimated that he will not be able to solve the case!" ”

Tuoba Kui nodded, but he didn't think that Zhao Xuan couldn't solve the case, after all, Zhao Xuan was the heir of the Ghost Valley, of course, Tuoba Kui would not kill Zhao Xuan, he was the national teacher of the dynasty, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, although Zhao Xuan was the descendant of the Ghost Valley, and was favored by the saint and the prince, but the current Zhao Xuan was still too weak after all, although there was no way to take him, but it was not difficult to give him some problems, just like this so-called "demon fox case".

After dismissing everyone, the national teacher staggered back into the house, he wanted to make plans for the future, the current situation seemed to be a bit out of his imagination, after Zhao Tian, the king of Chu, also joined the battle, it seemed that this invisible fireworks had begun to get out of control, it was difficult for him to imagine, if it was a formal comparison, what would happen to it, but he was not in a hurry, there were many capable people in his camp, he believed that he helped that person get the throne is just a matter of using his brain, if he can't even take a throne, Then it's time for him to return to the mountains and forests to continue his cultivation......

Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan slowly opened his eyes, which made him a little puzzled, what was wrong with him, how did he fall asleep properly, obviously there was not much to do yesterday, shook his head, Zhao Xuan got up and put on his clothes, washed his face, and after eating a few bites, he asked Qian Hu to take away the food, and by the way, he brought him a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Zhao Xuan plans to write a letter to the crown prince, after all, this case is too strange, among the many factions, in addition to provoking Zhao Tian, the king of Chu, there is also the national teacher Tuoba Kui, each of them has their own strength and power, what they show to Zhao Xuan is just the tip of their iceberg, Zhao Xuan sometimes really wonders, why many times they can kill themselves, but they don't kill themselves, although he thinks so, but Zhao Xuan already has an uncertain answer in his heart, I just don't know if it's because of this.

The content of this letter is a bit long, so Zhao Xuan wrote it for a full hour, and after checking that there were no mistakes, Zhao Xuan tied it up and asked Qian Hu, who was guarding the door, to send the letter to the prince using the method of flying pigeons.

After Qian Hu received the order, he went to do it......
