The underground stronghold of the Dark Key Pavilion in Tongzhou City is divided into five areas, and the last time, the three rooms that Qin Sixteen followed Cheng Ziyi saw were the main room where the gold list was placed, the small room where the information was organized, and the treasury where the gold and silver were stored.

As for the other two areas that Qin Sixteen hadn't yet entered, they all belonged to the private space of the original pavilion master Qi Ling. And at this moment, Cheng Ziyi led Qin Sixteen and the little county lord to reach the negotiation point, which was one of the luxurious private rooms that originally belonged to Qi Ling.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Although it was the most luxurious compartment in the stronghold, for aristocrats like Xiao Duxue and Qin Sixteen who grew up in the national capital, Qi Ling's almost nouveau riche taste was really nothing worth noting.

"Returning to the pavilion master, soon after the crown prince was born, the emperor of Sheng Xin began a new round of purging. It was the first time for Cheng Ziyi to come to Qi Ling's private room, and he was born in poverty, and he could not ignore the spacious decorations and gorgeous decorations in the room like Qin Sixteen and Xiao Duxue.

But after Qin Sixteen opened his mouth, he still reacted immediately, and hurriedly replied: "The national capital Tiansheng City has completely closed the city gate since three days ago, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

"What! What about my father?" After hearing the news, the first person who was not calm was the little county lord Xiao Duxue, who had just sat down on the soft chair and almost jumped up, "Is there any news from my father?"

"The county lord is not impatient, not even a bird can fly in the whole country at present, let alone any useful news. However, judging from the news reported by the spies, there are no signs of fighting in the city at present. Qin Sixteen had a great relationship with Xiao Duxue, and Cheng Ziyi naturally didn't dare to offend this little county lord, so he hurriedly replied.

Although the news he got from Cheng Ziyi's mouth was not particularly bad, the little county lord who was worried about Si's father still had red eyes, and the whole scene fell silent for a while. Neither of the two main lords spoke, but Cheng Ziyi naturally didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Qin Sixteen took the lead in breaking the silence.

"The county lord doesn't need to worry too much, King Li has been preparing for many years, and he must have enough means to deal with the current situation. ”

"Qin Sixteen, I want you to take me back to Tiansheng, I don't worry about my father being there alone!" Xiao Duxue's eyes were full of tears, and her tone was full of urging and anxiety, and her delicate and poignant appearance made people can't bear to refuse.

Although he had some good feelings for the delicate little county lord in front of him, this hazy feeling was not enough to drive Qin Sixteen to break into the Longtan Tiger Cave involving the struggle for imperial power, regardless of his own safety.

Qin Sixteen rarely did not reply to the county lord's words, but turned his head to look at Cheng Ziyi on the side. After getting along with Qin Sixteen for a while, this right protector has already adapted to the new pavilion master's style.

There are some things that are inconvenient for the pavilion master to say, so he can only do it himself. Cheng Ziyi was also happy to worry about Qin Sixteen, his talent for his tongue was not in vain, so this right protector of the Dark Key Pavilion immediately started the flickering Dafa that he was best at.

"What the pavilion lord said is right, the county lord doesn't need to worry too much, with the ability of His Royal Highness King Li, he will definitely be able to protect himself in the royal capital. If the county lord rushes to go now, not only will he be in danger, but he will even affect the layout of King Li, and I hope the county lord will think twice!"

Casting an appreciative look at Cheng Ziyi, Qin Sixteen now understood more and more why Qi Ling always took him by his side before his death and asked him to help him take care of big and small matters.

There are indeed some things that can not be done by a reckless man who can only do martial arts, and there are still some masters who can speak well and deal with miscellaneous things around them.

But to Cheng Ziyi and Qin Sixteen's surprise, the little county lord in front of him, who began to cry with pear blossoms and rain, was not as easy to fool as he imagined.

"Qin Sixteen, do you still remember the promise you made with your father in the palace that day? Now that my father is in trouble, it is the day when you declare the world in the name of the Qin family's heavenly master and help my Li clan regain the unification!"

Xiao Duxue's eyes were full of determination, and her peerless face was full of solemnity, and her big tearful eyes stared at Qin Sixteen, waiting for him to answer.

Qin Sixteen, who originally thought that he had mastered the rhythm, was stunned by the county lord's question. The topic he discussed with King Li, he thought that the little county lord would not know, but he never expected that this King Li would tell his daughter such a confidential matter.

"Ahem!"

Unable to stand Xiao Duxue's direct gaze, Qin Sixteen coughed lightly twice and turned his head towards Cheng Ziyi again, with an unquestionable gaze in his eyes, conveying to his subordinates the tasks that must be completed.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Cheng Ziyi, the right protector of the Dark Key Pavilion, was also the first two at the moment, he was not confused about the situation, but was stunned by the situation. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the new pavilion master he had worked so hard to attract was not only an abandoned son who was expelled from his family by his own family, but even in the whirlpool of the royal family's struggle for power and profit.

"Lord County, the Pavilion Lord has long been removed from the Heavenly Master's Mansion. The commission that my Secret Key Pavilion received from the Qin family that day was only for us to get rid of a person named Qin Fen. But seeing the almost cannibalistic eyes of his pavilion master, he still explained stubbornly.

After the Qin Sixteenth Great Horse Gang made trouble and showed the strength of the Great Grandmaster, Qin Changsong sent someone to send 100,000 taels of gold to the Dark Key Pavilion, naming Qi Cheng to take action in person, and stating that the person he wanted to assassinate was a stand-in for the young master of their Qin family.

"But according to the analysis of the intelligence we had later, it turned out that the target of our assassination that day was Sheng Xin Heavenly Master Qin Sixteen himself, that is, our Qin Pavilion Master had already been frozen by Li Daitao, so how could he act with the identity of Heavenly Master again?"

Which family's stand-in will have the ability of a great grandmaster? Although the Dark Key Pavilion took over the task, it was not enough to trust the employer's information. So they also conducted a private investigation themselves, after all, the amount of commission this time was huge, and the strength of the target was strong enough, Qi Ling, who had always been careful, didn't want to capsize in the gutter, although in the end he still capsized.

"King Li has a life-saving grace with me, and Qin has never forgotten the prince's entrustment that day. But the current situation is not transparent, and it is afraid that it will go against the original intention of the prince to act rashly. After Cheng Ziyi helped him explain, Qin Sixteen turned his head back, glanced at the girl with tears in her eyes, and said.

Seeing that Xiao Duxue's reaction tended to be flat, she should have listened to her own words, Qin Sixteen hurriedly added: "If you receive the edict from the prince, Qin will definitely be ordered to be cautious and go all out!"

Looking at Qin Sixteen with a sincere face, and thinking of his dedication to protecting himself in the past two days, the little county lord finally compromised, and said with a slight cry: "In this case, then wait a few more days, I hope my father is safe." ”

Finally succeeded in coaxing her, Qin Sixteen exhaled in his heart. At this moment, he didn't know that King Li's so-called "edict" to him was not far from Tongzhou City......
