Chu Chong didn't ask anything and got up and left the Five Princes' Mansion, in fact, he came to see Xing Tianze today for only one purpose, to make sure that the mysterious power mentioned in his Uncle Wang's letter was not the person of the Five Princes.

Now that it has been confirmed, there is no need for him to continue to stay, and there are already Xing Tianze's people in Chu Xiang Kingdom, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Tao Mingxi slowly walked out from behind the screen, looking at Xing Tianze with a smile on his face, and her heart was happy for him.

Xing Tianze slowly explained, now that the Gongsun family has fallen, then all the chess pieces arranged by the emperor in the seven counties of Jiangnan can only be scattered, and his right-hand man will undoubtedly be broken.

Looking at the forces that the emperor can still call on in the entire Xingzhao Kingdom, there is only one general Liu Jin besides the Xue family.

Tao Mingxi smiled and returned to the courtyard with Xing Tianze, and told Zhu'er to let the kitchen cook come to her courtyard to cook a few good dishes to celebrate.

Now is an extraordinary time, Xing Tianze told Tao Mingxi that no matter what he eats or drinks, it is best to do it under his nose to prevent the killers of Heavenly Hell from poisoning him on the way.

In the evening of the same day, Yin Tianhu and Situ Lei came to the Five Kings' Mansion one after another, but they also learned about last night's incident, so they each went out today with dozens of entourages.

However, Xing Tianze seemed that this was just a slight momentum, and the large number of people in front of the absolute master did not occupy any advantage, which could be seen from the previous assassination of him and Wuxian in the Heavenly Prison.

The three of them sat in the study, and Tao Mingxi sat aside and looked at the book handed to her by Xing Tianze, which recorded some simple methods of self-defense.

"The Gongsun family has fallen now, what do you think we should do next, is it the next time we are ruthless to Liu Jin?" When Yin Tianhu said this, he also stretched out his right hand as a hand knife.

Situ Lei's eyes glanced at Tao Mingxi lightly, in his and Yin Tianhu's opinion, it was best for the women to know what they were discussing, but since Xing Tianze didn't care if he cried, then they naturally didn't dare to say anything.

"Liu Jingui is the general of the Xingzhao Kingdom, and he has been working the western border for most of his life, so don't be ruthless if you can win him over." Xing Tianze explained slowly.

Yin Tianhu's eyes scanned the study, but he didn't find a traceless figure, which made him frown suspiciously.

"Liu Jin has been deeply favored by the emperor for a long time, and he is extremely arrogant by nature and has been so powerful in the west, if the prince wants to win his heart, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing." Situ Lei's brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Jin is undoubtedly one of the hardest bones for them to gnaw on now, considering both his identity and the border issues of the West.

Xing Tianze laughed slowly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that Yin Tianhu and Situ Lei didn't dare to think about.

Since the emperor handed over Princess Xing Ling's marriage to him to take care of, and it has been so long, he should also give a satisfactory answer.

After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help frowning, Xing Tianze's meaning was very clear, he wanted to marry the princess to Liu Jin's son who had not yet married.

But Liu Jin is already very loyal to the emperor, if the two of them become in-laws, won't the relationship become more unbreakable?

Suddenly, the two seemed to realize the crux of the problem, and Xing Tianze's move can be described as a wealth and danger.

Although Liu Jin guarded the border for Xing Zhaoguo, he could be regarded as a prince with heavy troops, but there was one thing he was the same as Yin Tianhu and Situ Lei.

Their roots are just courtiers, but they are just a level higher than the common people, and they are much worse than the royal family.

Xing Tianze saw this and wanted to marry Xing Ling to Liu Jin's son so that the Liu family would also become a relative of the emperor.

Although the emperor took a special fancy to Liu Jin, he was still wary of the latter in his heart, if not, why would he recall him back to the capital now?

"Since the emperor is unwilling to give Liu Jin the identity of the royal family, then this king will give him this excellent opportunity." A meaningful smile appeared on Xing Tianze's face.

He was well aware of what this decision meant, and that there could be two consequences in the current situation.

The first is that, as Situ Lei said, the relationship between Liu Jin and the emperor will become closer, and even completely form a force to fight against Xing Tianze.

In addition, there will be a second situation, Liu Jin will be grateful to Xing Tianze for giving him the opportunity to enter the house for the Liu family, so as to defect to the command of the fifth prince.

It's just that the second possibility is very small, and if Xing Tianze doesn't get it, he will still seek skin with the tiger, leaving himself with troubles that are difficult to solve.

It wasn't until late at night that Situ Lei and Yin Tianhu left separately, and Xing Tianze naturally sent Tao Mingxi back to the courtyard......

The next afternoon, dozens of horses galloped quickly on the mountain road a hundred miles away from the capital? The person who led the way was Liu Jin, the general of the Xingzhao Kingdom.

After receiving the holy decree, he arranged for his henchmen to guard the border, and only 100,000 of the hundreds of thousands of troops were drawn to return to Beijing with him.

However, the distance is far away, in order to reach the capital as soon as possible, Liu Jin took dozens of personal guards to prepare to return to Beijing first, and the 100,000 army will come later.

Suddenly, dozens of arrows were shot from the dense forest on both sides of the mountain road, and the five or six guards who were running in front fell from their horses.

Then a rope suddenly popped out of the flat road, tripping the horses of the guards behind him and falling to the ground, and the man rolled on the ground many times before passing out.

Liu Jin reacted quickly, and loudly ordered everyone to stop while pulling the reins hard.

These guards are also battle-hardened elite soldiers, and they are not half afraid in the face of enemy attacks, but they also draw their swords at their waists, ride around Liu Jin and look around vigilantly.

"I don't know if it's a friend on that road who is joking with Liu Mou here today?" Liu Jin's face was serious, and he glanced around with a vigilant gaze: "I wonder if I can show up?" After all, hurting people with hidden arrows is not something that a hero does. ”

As soon as his words landed, eleven figures quickly skimmed out of the mountains and forests, each holding a cold sword unsheathed in their hands, all wearing exactly the same black clothes and veils on their faces.

"You and other thieves are really bold, and they dare to assassinate the court officials in broad daylight? I think you're really living to the end. A young man beside Liu Jin scolded sharply.

A man in black slowly stepped forward, raised the cold sword in his hand and said to Liu Jin, "What can you do if you know that you are an official of the imperial court?" Don't try to get out of this forest alive today. ”

Then ten men in black rushed towards Liu Jin, although the guards were not bad, but these men in black were even more skilled.

Liu Jin's gaze crossed the scene of the fight in front of him and looked at a man in black standing in place.
