Chapter 691: Trouble

Lianyun Island harbor, a 3,000-material warship is ready to go, this is the battleship that escorted the two sons of King Zhou to Zheng Zhiyuan's westward fleet, since Li Qing has made up his mind, then the two sons of King Zhou will not be able to stay on Lianyun Island for a moment, on the dock, the two sons burst into tears, farewell to King Zhou, and the fourteen-year-old Princess Yanran is even more crying red eyes, since she was a child, she has grown up with two elder brothers, she has never been separated, after the explanation of her father and mother, she also knows that the two elder brothers are gone, but there is no hope of returning, and they can only die of old age overseas, and herself, it will never be possible to see these two brothers who love her and protect her again.

"Brother!" Princess Yanran held the hand of an elder brother in one hand and cried: "I can't bear you, don't you go!" ”

The eldest Zhou Shuguang smiled bitterly and gently rubbed his sister's head, whether to go or not, can you do it yourself? If you go here, the place where you will go may be a miserable and wild place, but for the sake of their father and sister, they have to go, they have to go, stay here, it is a dead end, and now this road, I have to thank Li Qing, the marshal of Dingzhou, who is thousands of miles away, for letting him go. Born in the royal family, the road was not chosen by himself, looking at the remnants of Taiwan Island who came to see off in the harbor, Zhou Shuguang was extremely envious.

"Sister, there will be no care from my brothers in the future, and my father and mother are getting older, you have to learn to take care of yourself, marry Li Dashuai, remember to be virtuous and virtuous, and be Li Dashuai's wife wholeheartedly, don't be rude and willful, there, no one will be like your brothers, tolerate you, a little mistake will ruin you, ruin your father, can you remember?"

"I remember, brother!" Yanran sobbed.

The second Zhou Hong sighed, "Sister, my brother will miss you, you like chrysanthemums the most, when my brother arrives over there, he will definitely plant chrysanthemums in the courtyard in his residence, seeing them, it's like seeing you, take care of yourself, if one day, you become the queen, maybe we will see each other one day, but it may be decades later, when we are all full of gray hair, it will be possible!" ”

Yanran cried and threw herself into the arms of her second brother, caressing her sister's hair, Zhou Hong whispered in her ear, "Wei Gang told me that Li Qing has a very beloved woman named Qingfeng, this woman is not only intellectual, but also has great power, and is the core figure of Dingzhou, you remember, even if you are Li Qing's wife, this woman must not be offended, if you can marry her, you can be at peace with Mount Tai." ”

"My sister remembers!"

Gently pushing their sister away, the two Zhou brothers said goodbye to their parents, strode onto the gangplank, and embarked on the battleship, accompanied by a group of loyal Zhou guards, who volunteered to accompany the two princes overseas.

The battleship lifted anchor and slowly slid to the shore, and under the ship, there were tears rippling down, and it was a pity to say goodbye. King Zhou could not bear to see his beloved son getting farther and farther away from him, and as soon as the ship left the harbor, he turned and left, while Princess Yanran stood on the harbor, waving her arms desperately until the battleship disappeared from the sea, and then she left sadly.

Not long after the Zhou brothers left, another 5,000-material warship sailed out of the harbor under the protection of the frigate, and it was Yan Nanfei and Wei Gang who set off to return to Dingzhou.

The subsequent Lianshan Island quickly entered a state of war, and all the warships docked in the harbor all anchored and began to patrol the vicinity on a large scale. At the same time, relying on the first batch of carrier pigeons trained by Black Hawk, all the islands belonging to Dingzhou on the chain of the outer islands entered the first level of alert, and the warships that were originally scattered on the islands began to concentrate.

Dingzhou, outside the gate of the Supervision Yuan, the black-uniformed spies stood upright, all with solemn faces, and outside the gate, the cadres of the Statistics and Investigation Department were dressed in straight official uniforms one by one, lined up in two lines, today, they will usher in a new president, in fact, it cannot be considered new, because Qingfeng has always been the nominal president of the Supervision Yuan.

The street where the Supervision Yuan is located has been cleared, and at this time there is no passer-by in sight, the Supervision Yuan is in Dingzhou, and it has always had a mysterious aura, except for a few people, the vast majority of the people in Dingzhou do not know what this yamen does, only know that this mysterious Yamen is very powerful. Now in the world, all the yamen have their doors open to the south, but the Dingzhou Supervision Yuan is a special case, and its gate is open to the north. This adds to the world's speculation.

There was a crisp sound of horses' hooves, and the horseshoe-wrapped horseshoes struck the stone slab, and when they heard this sound, everyone turned in the direction from which the sound came, some were happy, some were terrified, and some were indifferent.

One of the only two special carriages in Dingzhou appeared in everyone's field of vision, on the black carriage wheel, two women sat on one left and one right, that is, after Qingfeng restored power, he specially asked Li Qing to transfer Qiu Xue and Xia Ping back from Murowei, as for Wang Yan, Qingfeng naturally wisely did not mention it. After Zhong Jing left, these two women have been serving as Qingfeng's personal guards, but the two do not have the privilege of Zhong Jing, they can sit in the carriage with Qingfeng, but can only serve as guards on both sides of the carriage.

The carriage stopped at the black gate of the Investigation Division, Qiu Xue and Xia Ping jumped out of the carriage, one pressed the knife and stood up, and the other stretched out his hand to open the carriage door.

"See the Dean!" Outside the door of the Investigation Division, all officials bowed and saluted.

The car door opened, Qingfeng first leaned out of the car door with half of his body, looking at the familiar yamen gate and the three big characters of the unfamiliar supervision court on the lintel, and sighed. Previously, there was the Statistical Survey Department hanging on it, which was written by Li Qing himself, but now these three words are obviously not Li Qing's handwriting.

After several ups and downs, now, I am back.

With the support of Qiu Xue, Qingfeng stepped out of the carriage, looked at his familiar or unfamiliar subordinates, and smiled: "Everyone will work together again in the future, we didn't have these rules and disciplines before, why should everyone go, stay here just to meet me, isn't it a waste of time?" Time is running out, and every second counts. ”

After most of the subordinates were stunned, they remembered that this changed bosses, and the habits of each boss were different, but the old man in the former Statistics Department suddenly returned to the past, and in the past, Qingfeng would never allow this situation to occur.

Most of the people left, but there were still two people who bowed down and didn't leave, but they were the other two bigwigs of the Supervision Yuan, Mingyan and Ji Sichen.

Qingfeng walked over with a smile and picked up Mingyan first, "Mingyan girl, you are like this, I can't afford to stop it, you are the vice president of the Supervision Yuan, you should set an example for your subordinates!" ”

Mingyan raised his head, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, after several rounds, he finally returned to Qingfeng's subordinates, thinking that before, in order to check and balance Qingfeng, Dingzhou set up a military intelligence investigation department, and he went to serve as the director, and now, the military intelligence department has been merged into the Supervision Yuan, and he has become Qingfeng's direct subordinate. Looking at Qingfeng's smiling face, Mingyan couldn't help but feel worried, and she didn't know if she would have a better time in the future?

Ji Sichen was even more frightened, as Qingfeng's old subordinate, in the last purge, he was the only one who was not affected, and this was because of his identity as an internal guard, although he knew it before, he didn't break it, and he could pretend not to know, but now his identity has already been revealed, and when he gets along in the future, he will inevitably have a few more embarrassments.

"Sichen, you are my old subordinate, why are you so polite?" Reaching out and patting Ji Sichen's shoulder, Qingfeng walked past him, seemingly completely forgetting the previous things, "Let's go, we still have very important things to discuss today." Don't delay here. ”

Walking into the gate of the Supervision Institute, the breeze walked towards the place where he used to work, in the yard, the acacia trees in the courtyard were blooming brightly, and the breeze suddenly stopped, looking at the pink flowers, and was startled.

"Miss, the room where you used to work has been cleaned up, and the items are placed according to the previous format, you won't be unaccustomed to it." Ji Sichen subconsciously reverted to his previous name for Qingfeng.

"Hmm!" Qingfeng nodded, "Good! I don't know if Qingfeng heard it clearly, and after being stunned for a moment, Qingfeng took another step and walked straight to the wing room where he used to work.

"Some time ago, we messed up an errand and caused Dingzhou to suffer great losses." Qingfeng glanced at the two of them, and the two who had just sat down immediately stood up again, bowing their heads in shame.

Qingfeng pressed down with his hands and motioned for the two of them to sit down, "I don't mean to hold you accountable or blame you when I say this, but to remind you that we must always remember this defeat, turn shame into motivation, and get the field back in the future battle." ”

"Yes!" The two said in unison.

"Next, we have a few more urgent things to do, the first is to find out the whereabouts of Dean Li Zonghua, according to your previous analysis, Dean Li should be in the hands of the Southern Zhongzi Period, immediately send more people, be sure to find out, so that we can try to rescue!"

"Yes!" Mingyan nodded, not expecting that the first order issued by Qingfeng after he came to power was to search and rescue Dean Li.

"Second, spread a piece of news that the general found the remnants of the Zhou clan and their emperor of the previous dynasty, the heirloom jade seal and other things, and prepared to welcome the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty in Dingzhou." Qingfeng Channel.

Ji Sichen responded.

"The timing of the spread of this news must be appropriate, and it must not even make the opponent suspicious, and it must make them think that they found out. It's a matter of winning or losing a war, you know? ”

"I understand, I'll do it with my heart!" Ji Sichen said.

"The third thing, Dingzhou welcomes back the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and rebuilds the imperial system of the Great Zhou, and it will definitely suffer from Luoyang immediately and even the joint counterattack of the king of Ning in the south, so in the next time, all branches of the Supervision Yuan will take action to spy on this information."

"Fourth, the Luoyang branch suffered heavy losses in this assassination operation and urgently needs to rebuild the network. I'll take care of this matter myself. ”

At this time, far away in Ningzhou in the south, it is the scorching summer season, the sun is hanging in the sky, the scorching flame is scorching the earth, the road is in the field, there is almost no human figure, even the dog, also stretched out his tongue and panted, found a shady place, and lay down there, refusing to move.

It was extremely hot outside, but in the Ning Wang's Mansion, it was a small pavilion facing the water on all sides, but it was a different scene, with huge ice cubes placed around, making the pavilion extremely cool, and the chilled sour plum soup was drunk in the mouth, and it was cool from the throat all the way down to the stomach, how comfortable it was.

King Ning leaned on the chair, and behind him stood a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth gently playing a fan for him, and opposite him, Zhong Ziqi was sitting at the bottom of the head, handing the finished sour plum soup bowl to the girl waiting beside him.

"Zi Period, you will not be able to hide that Li Zonghua for a long time after all, this person will become a hot potato sooner or later, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible!" King Ning looked at Zhong Ziqi, and he was also quite dissatisfied with Zhong Ziqi's actions this time, which was too much for Meng Lang.

Zhong Ziqi said: "Your Highness, I captured Li Zonghua, originally I wanted to know that Li Qing launched the Weizhou War to contain the Pang Army Naval Division, and what did the Dingzhou Naval Division Zheng Zhi's personnel go to do, such a big military operation, just to cover another matter, then this matter must be appalling, but unfortunately, although Li Zonghua was caught, he was soft and hard, and I tried my best to pry his mouth open." ”

King Ning smiled: "Isn't there a charlatan under you who knows how to destroy the opponent and make him unknowingly confide in his true feelings?" Didn't use it to try? ”

"Why haven't you tried it?" Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly, "It's just that people like Li Zonghua have received extremely strict training from ***, this set doesn't work for them at all, you ask some ordinary trivial things, he will answer all questions, but once it comes to secrets, he won't open his mouth anyway!" ”

"Actually, there is no need to bother so much about this, no matter what Li Qing wants to do, after a long time, he will always show his tail, and knowing it earlier is just to buy us more time. And now the contradictions between the mainland and the mainland should not intensify in a short period of time, and we have time to deal with them! King Ning said with a smile.

Zhong Ziqi's expression was solemn, "This time Yuan Fang kidnapped Shang Haibo, and Shang Haibo served as the first assistant of Luoyang, Li Qing was stimulated this time, maybe he could do something earth-shattering, Your Highness, we must be prepared to deal with it!" ”

King Ning nodded, "I naturally know this, I have already informed Ma Ta who is now in Qingzhou, in the past, Lan Shan, Hu Zequan and others were waiting for each other, but even if Li Qing wants to spread fire, the goal should be aimed at the apocalypse, we just need to be just in case, by the way, I didn't expect Xiao Aihe to give the state army to penetrate so easily, Xiao Aihe battled, that one-armed general's strategy is one ring after another, it is breathtaking, if we are not on the outside, the bystanders are clear, and we will also be confused by him, at this point, I really envy Li Qing, there are many famous generals under him! ”

Zhong Ziqi said with a smile: "Isn't it the same under His Royal Highness, Lan Shan, Hu Zequan, Xu Siyu, that one is no worse than them, it is the son of the world, after several years of training, it is not what it used to be." ”

King Ning shook his head and said, "By the way, the alliance signal from Luoyang, how many of them do you think are true and how many are false?" ”

Zhong Ziqi pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, after Luoyang is appointed by Shang Haibo as the first assistant, the governance will inevitably change greatly, so this time the union between the two sides is dominated by Shang Haibo, which may be convenient and really has this intention, you have also noticed that after Shang Haibo arrived, Qiu Zhi Qiu Houye, who had overwhelmed Xiao Yuanshan, suddenly retreated for a hundred miles, giving Xiao Yuanshan a lot of breathing space, and recently they actually released Xiao Haoran, which surprised me." ”

"My brother is really amazing!" King Ning sighed, "Let Xiao Haoran go, naturally I want him to go back and stabilize Youyan, so that Li Qing can't get involved in it." I didn't think he still had this kind of heart. ”

"This is mostly Shang Haibo's work!" Zhong Ziqi said, "Since you have given up on uprooting Youyan, it is not surprising that we will join forces to deal with Li Qing, Shang Haibo was born in Dingzhou, and he knows the truth of Dingzhou best, obviously, Luoyang's strategy now is to deal with Li Qing first no matter what." ”

"Let's talk about it first." King Ning said: "Let's touch their bottom first!" ”

The two were discussing, but they saw Xu Siyu rushing over like flying, "Something is wrong!" Obviously, he was in a hurry from outside, Xu Siyu's clothes were soaked from the inside out, and there were beads of sweat on his face.

"What's wrong?" Both of them were shocked, and the things that made Xu Siyu so moved were of course insignificant.

"There is a express report from Dingzhou, and Li Qing of Dingzhou has found the remnants of the former Zhou Dynasty, as well as their emperor! Preparing to welcome them to Dingzhou and rebuild the Great Zhou Imperial Union, the Dingzhou spies did find that Li Qing's Marshal's Mansion was being renovated, and the style was being built in the style of the Luoyang Imperial Palace. ”

King Ning and Zhong Ziqi glanced at each other, "Is this true or false, how is it possible, the Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years, how can it still be found?" Could it be that Li Qing was stunned by Shang Haibo's betrayal, and he casually found some people and claimed to be the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and a remnant of the previous dynasty? ”

Xu Siyu took a breath, "The key is that they found the heirloom jade seal at the same time!" ”

"Heirloom Jade Seal!" Ning Wang Huodi stood up, knocked over the emperor's teacup with his hand, and shattered it to the ground.

Zhong Ziqi also stood up in shock, "Heirloom jade seal? ”

"Yes!" Xu Siyu nodded affirmatively.

"I'm in trouble!" King Ning couldn't calm down anymore, "If the heirloom jade seal is true, then even if Li Qing finds a random person and says that he is the royal blood of the Zhou Dynasty, he can deceive the world." Where did they find out? ”

Xu Siyu said: "Your Highness, according to the information inquired, it was a Dingzhou sailor who was lost by the storm while cruising, and inadvertently found the remnants of the former Tongchao on an island, and then Dingzhou sent a sailor fleet to welcome back the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!" ”

"That's right!" Zhong Ziqi's palms slammed together, "That's right!" Turning to look at King Ning, "Your Highness, no wonder Li Qing did not hesitate to launch the Weizhou Campaign, involving the strength of the Pang army, so that the Dingzhou Sailor could easily get out and go to the far sea, if it wasn't for such an important thing, how could Li Qing be willing to pay such a big price!" ”

King Ning gasped, "In this way, this heirloom jade seal is real!" ”

Zhong Ziqi's face was also ugly: "Ten ***!" ”
