Thinking of this, Zhongli Bojun lowered his head and sighed.

"In that case, let's talk about business." Li Zi glanced at Shangguan Tinghan behind Zhongli Bojun.

Zhongli Bojun followed his line of sight, caught a glimpse of Shangguan Tinghan's back, hooked his lips, and said with a light smile: "What's the matter with Lord Zuo Xiang?" It can be said bluntly that Tinghan is not an outsider. ”

"Hehe......" Li Zi and Zhongli Bojun sat opposite each other, picked up the cup in front of him, and took a sip of the sake in the cup: "I just received the news that the queen sent someone to send a small bamboo tube to Qiao's mansion, and I vaguely heard that the bamboo tube is a border thing." ”

"What does Zuo Xiang mean...... The queen is on the move? ”

"It's just that I don't know if the queen wants to destroy General Wei or win over General Wei." Zuo Xiang was entangled for a moment and said: "Whether it is destroyed or co-opted, we must seize this opportunity and seize the initiative." ”

"Is the news true, and how did it come about?"

"This news is heard by the minister's eyeliner, and the source of the news comes from the mouth of the eldest girl Ji'er next to the queen, who stood outside Qiao's mansion and said to Qiao Jiang."

"Lord Zuo Xiang, such an obvious trap, you are still pulling this king to jump down, who will stand outside the mansion when talking about important things? Why don't you go to the market now and discuss how to take the throne? Zhongli Bojun's eyes turned, his lips opened slightly, and he glanced at Li Zi coldly.

"The minister means that no matter what tricks the queen wants to play, we will take this opportunity to take advantage of it."

Zhongli Bojun opened his mouth: "This is a special period, and they dare to act so blatantly, which means that they have already thought of the way back. Standing outside the house and deliberately letting you eavesdrop, it shows that they need to use this king, these ...... Don't you understand it? ”

"His Royal Highness King Xian is very reasonable, but the crisis is a turning point, if we and the queen continue to stalemate like this, no one will be able to get benefits, it is better to give it a go, whether it is success or failure in this move."

"Give it a go?" Zhongli Bojun grinned and sneered: "Lord Zuo Xiang can really see it, success and failure are only a thought. If you're not careful, you'll be in the abyss. Don't be defeated at that time, you and I kneel on the execution ground together, and you will blame this king for failing to ensure the prosperity of your family. ”

"His Royal Highness King Xian, as long as this matter involves General Wei, the queen will not be able to get out so easily." Li Zi listened to his words and realized how much his indecision was in the way: "They dare to make dangerous moves, why is His Royal Highness King Xian so afraid to cower?" ”

"Lord Zuo, this king just hopes that you can consider things comprehensively, and what this king wants is absolute success." Zhongli Bojun was provoked by his words, and his usual gentle appearance disappeared.

"His Royal Highness King Xian should understand the truth of seeking wealth and danger, and the minister also wants to have a detailed plan, but only the prince and the sixth highness are left in the court, the prince is cautious, why is the other party not step by step? If they want to seize their handles, why don't they eye? So...... If you don't act now, when? ”

"......" Zhongli Bojun gritted his teeth and lowered his head, his eyes were dead. After a while, he made a muffled voice: "Then what should we do?" ”

"If nothing else, the small bamboo tube will be sent to Yue'an City, we will intercept the small bamboo tube halfway, and take a look at the contents before deciding on the next move."

"I can only do this temporarily, Yue'an City has Vice General Zhao to respond, and there shouldn't be any big problems."

"In this case, the minister will send someone to keep an eye on Qiao's mansion, and the minister will retire first."

Li Zi got up and left, Zhongli Bojun sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Since Zuo Xiang proposed a dangerous move, he strongly opposed it, but unexpectedly, he finally decided to pull the captain general.

Ziyu, Ziyu, what should this king do with you? Zhongli Bojun sighed again, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of anxiety and unease.

He sat in the pavilion with his head propped up, and after pondering for a long time, he came back to his senses, only to find that Shangguan Tinghan was standing beside him, staring at him with a pair of unwavering eyes.

Shangguan heard Han and saw Zhong Li Bojun raise his head and asked, "Is the prince really determined to do this?" ”

"......" Zhongli Bojun didn't know how to answer him, if he said that he had made up his mind, but this was not the result he wanted to see, if he didn't make up his mind, Zuo Xiang got his permission again.

"Why didn't the prince speak?" Shangguan Tinghan's face showed a trace of unbearability: "Does the prince know what the consequences of this move are?" Is it that Miss Wei Er completely lost her father, lost her family, and lost all hope, is this what the prince wants to see? How many times has the prince dreamed, he would babble, and the name of Miss Wei Er was in his mouth......"

"Don't talk about it." Zhongli Bojun gritted his teeth and said coldly.

"Heh......" Shangguan Tinghan was willing to stop: "Not long ago, the prince used despicable means to get Miss Wei Er, and he didn't dislike it when he learned that she was pregnant, does the prince really have no feelings for Miss Wei Er?" ”

"But she deceived this king, and in order to leave this king, she could even find that kind of clumsy excuse, and her heart has left." When Zhongli Bojun said this, his eyes were full of mist.

"Obviously, the prince hurt her first, and now he wants to repeat the same mistakes?"

Zhongli Bojun naturally knew what Shangguan Tinghan was talking about, but he had gone too far and couldn't turn back. The current situation does not allow him to hesitate, and he is about to succeed, how can he say that he will give up?

"Listen to the cold, you have overpassed."

"Yes, lord." Shangguan Tinghan lowered his head and stepped aside to say no more.

Li Xishuang, who was on the other side of the pond, looked at the two people in the pavilion, she didn't know what they were talking about, she couldn't see her face clearly, she couldn't hear the words, and she didn't dare to appear in front of Zhongli Bojun.

She married into the Xian Wang's Mansion and never got the prince's eyes. He avoided her, and every time he was touched by her, the prince would secretly change his clothes, throw away or burn the clothes he had touched. Every time she left Qingning Courtyard, the prince would order someone to clean Qingning Courtyard inside and out. She knew all of this, but she couldn't help but want to get close to him every time.

Zhongli Boqian was right, his brother really hated her.

As a result of your own choice, you have to live your life with gritted teeth. If I hadn't insisted on being with him at the beginning, would it have been a different result? Now she is the only woman in this house, she can't have a round room with the prince, if the prince becomes the emperor in the future, and the harem has three thousand beauties, will the prince still look at her?

Li Xishuang looked at the back of the other side, helplessness, anxiety and uneasiness filled her mind, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The border of Ningguo in the north.

Summer is the hottest time of the year, and people fall asleep to the sound of cicadas. A new crescent moon hung in the night sky, and the moonlit street market was silent, and four or five black-clothed people quietly passed by the eaves and came to a ruined temple, where several people made a simple gesture to wipe their necks. The sound of cicadas was accompanied by the hiss of dark darts piercing the sky, and the figure of the person guarding outside the temple froze, and in the blink of an eye, one of the men in black had moved behind the man, holding the back of his head, and gently placing him on the stone slab.

When he looked closely, the moonlight was stained red with the blood spilling from his forehead.

The man in black beckoned to the other four, and several of them dodged into the ruined temple, killing the sleeping man on the straw in his dream. Several people looked around to make sure that there were no other living people, and then dragged the bodies of these people out and buried them.

On the second day, the new sun rose. The people on the border of Ningguo did not know that anyone had died last night, not even the magistrates on the border. If the people of Ningguo were murdered, it would definitely alarm the magistrates, but they were not the people of Ningguo, and the same thing happened on the border of the vassal countries close to Ningguo.

Fijon area, inside the city of Yinli.

Wei Shangqing took everyone to change into civilian clothes, and went out to investigate the unknown people of the dynasty as in the past. When they arrived at the ruined temple, they found that it was empty.

"Father, yesterday this ruined temple accommodated at least twenty people, why are all of them missing today?" Wei Baiye found something strange, these imperial people who poured into the Feirong area neither went out to beg, nor did they go out to make a living, even if they wanted to appreciate the customs of the Feirong area, they would not fall out of the nest, this matter must be strange.

"Do they have any tasks, they are really not easy!" Luo Banye walked around in the ruined temple, looking at everything in the temple, and guessed.

"Mission?" Vice General Zhao frowned: "Does General Luo suspect which force these people are?" Could it be someone from Yue'an City? ”

"No, this is unreasonable, why do the people of Yue'an City let the people of the Dynasty live in these places?" Captain Shangqing said: "General Ben is just a little suspicious of them, and he doesn't know what their true identity is. ”

"General, some traces have been found here, suspected to be bloodstains."

Everyone gathered around Luo Banye and saw that there was a dried red mark on the offering table in front of the Buddha statue, like a drop of blood. Luo Banye approached the mark and sniffed it with his nose, in addition to the smell of dust, there was also a faint fishy smell.

"It's really blooddrops." Luo Banye smelled this smell and was even more sure of his guess.

"Are all these people killed?" Wei Baiye's eyes widened, there were more than twenty people here, it was impossible for them all to be killed overnight, there must be other reasons.

"This ......" Wei Shangqing fell into a tangle, just with this drop of blood, it was impossible to prove that these people had been killed, so he would verify it first and then make a judgment: "Luo Banye, you immediately go to the Yinli Yamen to inquire, but someone has reported the case." ”

"Yes." Luo Banye was ordered to leave.

"White Night, you quickly lead people to search all over Yinli City to see if you can find the bodies of these people."

"Yes." Yu Baiye took the order and left.

"Vice General Zhao, you take someone to Ximan, Zhiwan and other places to have a look, and if you find the same situation, report it immediately."

"Yes."

Wei Shangqing sighed and raised his eyes to look at the back of Vice General Zhao leaving.

How could such a strange thing happen? If these people were killed, why there was no movement in the city at all, and more than 20 people disappeared without a trace overnight, this is not a trivial matter.
