approached, Cuiping did not rush straight up, but looked around, saw a big tree, and hid directly behind the tree.

When everyone walked in front of them, Cui Ping picked up a stone with his fingertips, and with a flick of his fingertips, the stone went straight towards the hem of Fan Yefeng's clothes.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

Fan Yefeng's eyebrows frowned, dodged slightly, and the stone fell to the ground and bounced to the side.

Fan Yefeng's eyes instantly burst out with a cold light, exuding a kind of strength all over his body, he looked at the place where the stone flew, but saw a green figure, hiding behind a tree, probing his brain, but he did not deliberately hide his figure, but looked straight at him.

Seeing Cuiping, Fan Yefeng's eyes froze, he was no stranger to Cuiping, she was the one who followed Qin Wanyi to visit the General's Mansion, a small tune, although it was unpleasant, but it also covered up his injury.

Fan Yefeng vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Cuiping, and seeing that everyone in front of him was getting farther and farther away, he fell behind directly, turned around and walked towards Cuiping.

"Are you the maid of the Redemption?" Although Fan Yefeng was impressed, he still asked.

Cui Ping nodded.

"You're looking for me?" Fan Yefeng asked unconvinced.

Cui Pingfu nodded again, seeing that there was no one around, he grabbed Fan Yefeng and blocked her body, only to find out at this moment that Fan Yefeng's eyes were full of bloodshots, and there was still some wine on his body that had not dissipated, and he frowned unconsciously: "Have you drunk all night?" ”

When Fan Yefeng heard this, there was a slightly uncomfortable look on his face: "What are you looking for me?" ”

When Cui Ping heard this, he said, "The eldest lady has been arrested." ”

The eldest lady in Cuiping's mouth is, of course, Qin Wanyi.

It's just that Cui Ping suddenly popped out a sentence without a head, which made people a little confused.

Shouldn't Qin Wanyi be protected by Zhong Jiu? How is it possible to be caught? Who will arrest her?

Fan Yefeng frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Yesterday, the nine princes discussed, today the eldest lady should have entered the Ziyan Palace to inquire about the news of the princess, but the concubine Niangniang sent Xia He to pick up the eldest lady this morning on the grounds of seeing a doctor, I followed the eldest lady into the Ziyan Palace, and the ten princes will secretly protect it, but ......" Cui Ping said this, with a touch of unwillingness, "I didn't expect that the concubine Niangniang seemed to have insight into our purpose, and actually took the initiative to open the underground mechanism." ”

Fan Yefeng didn't expect that such a big thing would happen when he was hungover, and asked, "And then?" ”

"Outside the Purple Smoke Palace, heavily guarded, even if the eldest lady wants to leave, she can't go, and, seeing that the basement is open, and the princess has no news for many days, the eldest lady has thrown herself into the net, and after entering, she didn't come out, I guess she was detained, and I couldn't tell the specific situation, so I took the opportunity to escape, but no one chased me, and I don't know if I was asked to report the news, no matter what, I have to bring the news to the ninth prince." Cui Ping said, looking anxious, "This time, if you leave the eldest lady in the Purple Smoke Palace, the Ninth Prince will definitely not let me have a good time." ”

"Now, how's it going?" Fan Yefeng asked.

"I don't know, but I guess the concubine Niangniang should not threaten the eldest lady's life, when the basement was still open, I vaguely heard the conversation inside, but only the concubine Niangniang came up alone, so I didn't dare to conclude the situation of the eldest lady, it's just that the ninth prince asked me to accompany the eldest lady over, just in case of a crisis, I can take the eldest lady to escape, but I was trapped in the basement, and I really can't escape." Cui Ping replied, "The Ninth Prince said that if something happens, ask Ren Fei for help, but I can't find him." ”

"There was an accident in the palace today, it has something to do with him, and he is not on duty." Fan Yefeng explained.

"What about the Ten Princes? He was supposed to be in the most obvious place, but he couldn't find it. Cui Ping asked again.

"I seem to have seen that the tenth prince was invited away by one of the emperor's chamberlains." Fan Ye said.

"At the critical moment, one is really more unreliable than the other, and there is no backup, no matter what, young general, I will save people first, and you will try your best to bring the news to the Nine Princes, and the Nine Princes should have entered the palace at this moment." After Cuiping finished speaking, he was about to leave.

"Are you doing it alone?" Fan Yefeng said suspiciously.

"Of course one person can, although it has been hidden for a few years, it has not degenerated." Cui Ping wiped it on her face slightly, revealing a face that was different from Fang Cai, "It's just that it's a little difficult to bring an eldest lady, and if you bring another princess, it's even more difficult." ”

Fan Yefeng thought about it again and again, and said resolutely: "I'll go with you." ”

Today's morning dynasty ended earlier than usual, just because of one thing, everyone couldn't take the opportunity to force each other step by step, and the prince was also exempted because of this matter.

Zhong Yanting returned to the imperial study since the early dynasty, but he didn't see anyone, except Zhong Liushuo.

When Zhong Jiu arrived at the imperial study, he didn't see Ren Fei, and his heart was even more determined.

There was no need to pass it on, Liu Xian directly let Zhong Jiu in, as if he had received a special order.

"Father, you eat the chess pieces of the sons again, so you should leave a few for the sons, otherwise how can you play this chess?"

Before entering, Zhong Jiu heard Zhong Liushuo's strange scream, how could Zhong Liushuo be here?

"The chess field is like a battlefield, and kindness to the enemy is cruelty to us, and there must not be the slightest hesitation."

I only heard the snap, as if a chess piece had been knocked down.

"Forget it, don't play, anyway, Erchen plays chess and has never won a game." As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of friction, as if the chess game had been disrupted, "Father, Erchen doesn't know anything about chess, you better find someone else, Erchen got the emperor's grandmother to ask for peace." ”

On the brocade couch in the imperial study, there is a low table, and a chessboard is placed on it.

At this time, Zhong Yanting did not sit behind the throne, but sat on the brocade couch, opposite the chessboard, Zhong Liushuo sat cross-legged, disrupted the entire chessboard, and came down directly from the brocade couch.

"I really don't have any patience at all." Zhong Yanting is dispensable.

"Father, it's not that you don't know that your sons have always been like this, and you still play chess with your sons." Zhong Liushuo straightened his clothes and wanted to leave, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhong Jiu standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes widened, "Brother Jiu, why are you here?" ”

"Father, the emperor declares you." Zhong Jiu's eyes were filled with silent inquiry.

It's been so many years, how can Zhong Liushuo not understand what it means.

"Coincidentally, my father asked me to come over and play chess with him."

Zhong Jiu deliberately asked Zhong Liushuo to secretly protect Qin Wanyi, and now that Zhong Liushuo is here, what about Yiyi?

"Father, since the ninth brother is here, the ministers will leave first, and the ministers suddenly feel a little anxious." After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhong Yanting to say anything, he had already run away, and when he passed by Zhong Jiu, he gave a look.

Zhong Jiu had already faintly heard that Zhong Liushuo was also suddenly announced, but he just hoped that there would be no complications.

When Zhong Jiu looked at Zhong Yanting squarely, Zhong Yanting had already rearranged the chess and seemed calm and relaxed.

The chess pieces are made of jade, and there are already thirty-one chess pieces on the chessboard.

Zhong Yanting was holding a chess piece in his hand, with the word handsome written on it, and the one close to Zhong Yanting's side was a red chess piece, and on the opposite side was a black piece.

Since ancient times, red is the positive color, black is the dark color, red represents justice and light, and black represents darkness and evil.

"Son-in-law, see father." Zhong Jiu folded his hands and saluted.

"Do you see the white silk outside?" Zhong Yanting leaned on the brocade couch, playing handsome chess, and asked casually.

"See, such a battle must not be an ordinary person." Zhong Jiu's answer was also arbitrary.

"With your wisdom, it shouldn't be difficult to guess who this is for Bai Aya." Zhong Yanting pointed his finger at Zhong Jiu and said plainly, "You still contributed to this." ”

"I didn't expect the queen mother to really do this, it seems that she has deep faith in her father and the emperor, and she will protect the prince to the death." For the death of the queen, Zhong Jiu is colder than Zhong Yanting, and his emotions have not fluctuated at all, the queen also put him to death at the beginning, but this time, she took the blame for herself, with his means, if at the beginning, she must have to put the queen and the prince to death, and now letting one go is already considered his mercy.

"Unexpected?" Zhong Yanting sneered, unable to guess what he was thinking, "What an unexpected!" ”

"Erchen really didn't expect it." Zhong Jiu didn't care, at that time, he just gave Zhong Yanting an opinion, and he didn't forcefully let Zhong Yanting adopt it, what ability did he have to make Zhong Yanting adopt it.

If this matter has nothing to do with him, no, he is just an accomplice at most, the real murderer is Zhong Yanting himself, if he hadn't personally instructed him to assure the queen, could the queen commit suicide for the prince?

Zhong Yanting clenched the handsome chess in his palm, and his knuckles were white.

The queen is just a chess piece in Zhong Yanting's hands, and now that she is dead, Zhong Yanting ignores it, ignores everything, and doesn't even have even the slightest thought, what else can you expect.

Now that the prince is acquitted, Zhong Yanting has no scruples at all, because the queen committed suicide in fear of crime, Zhong Yanting is most concerned about her heart, or to hold a grand funeral for her according to the queen's title, but it is impossible to be buried in the imperial tomb as a sinner.

However, no one can predict whether the crown prince will be reburied if the crown prince ascends the throne as emperor one day, and whether the mausoleum of the former queen will be destroyed when the prince learns that the cause of the queen's death is implicated in him?

Zhong Jiu suddenly regretted helping the prince get rid of his guilt and making enemies for himself for no reason, but all this was before he made up his mind.

"The queen's matter is irreparable, I don't blame anyone, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the queen herself can only be blamed for crossing the line." Zhong Yanting let go of his palm and landed the handsome chess in the center of the two chess, "Come and play a game of chess with me." ”

Zhong Jiu didn't know where Zhong Yanting came from to play chess, but since Zhong Yanting opened his mouth, he had no reason to refuse, and some scheming could often be spied out from the chessboard.

"The retainers obey."

Zhong Jiu sat opposite Zhong Yanting, his posture was leisurely and elegant, he held the sunspot, one side was handsome, the other side was the general, and he commanded the sunspot.

"I let you, you go first." Zhong Yanting said.

Zhong Jiu didn't shirk either, pushed the right pawn forward, walked steadily, and gave it a try.

Zhong Yanting pointed the right cannon and moved to the rear of the soldiers in the middle.

Zhong Jiu pushed the right cannon up to the side of the second pawn on the right.

Zhong Yanting pushed the middle wargame forward.

The two of them went back and forth, both walking slowly, and they didn't see the killing intention, however, in the layout, there was a killing intent hidden step by step.

Half an hour later, on the chessboard, red and black crossed, and the stars were densely packed, ready to go.

"I've always underestimated you." Zhong Yanting looked at the chessboard, and between the clippers, he said lightly.

Zhong Jiu's eyebrows were cold, Zhong Yanting didn't always look down on him, he just ignored him all the time, if it really fell into Zhong Yanting's eyes, could it still be underestimated?

"Father's words are serious." Zhong Jiu humbly conceded.

Zhong Yanting lifted the artillery chess, crossed the war games, knocked out Zhong Jiu's black pawns, and took the army.

"The matter of Guzhou, I have already heard from Lao Qi."

Zhong Yanting said plainly, but it set off a lot of turmoil in Zhong Jiu's heart.

Zhong Jiu's fingertips on the top of the chess pieces stiffened, thinking that it would be the concubine who told Zhong Yanting and the plate yesterday, but he didn't know that it was Zhong Jichao.

In this way, Zhong Jichao is hiding in the Purple Smoke Palace.

This time, if you gamble your life, you will ruin everyone.

If it was Zhong Jichao who said it, then Zhong Yanting must be sure of what happened on the cliff in Guzhou.

All the people who were hidden in the shadows surfaced.

It's just that Zhong Yanting, who knows the truth, will deal with it first?

From Zhong Yanting's point of view, whoever is the biggest threat, he must eradicate whoever first, as for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, although there is a threat, it does not affect it, and they can be cleaned up one by one in the future.

And among so many people, the one he relies on the most, and the one who poses the greatest threat to Zhong Yanting, is Fan Yefeng.

Fan Yefeng is a cautious person and will not act recklessly, but he is not worried.

"The matter of Guzhou, what you did is not leaky, if it weren't for Lao Qi still alive, you would have been able to hide from the world, and I was almost deceived by you." Zhong Yanting moved the car to eat the elephant.

Zhong Jiuma walked *** Zhong Yanting moved the car.

Indeed, if it weren't for Zhong Jichao's appearance, Zhong Yanting believed that he did not come forward that time.

"In order to make a big deal about this matter, the seventh brother took the opportunity to return to Kyoto, and did not hesitate to eradicate the grass and eradicate the roots, ruining the entire Guzhou, and the sons were also forced to do so, the sons of the ministers, the brothers and sisters of the sons and daughters, all there, how could the sons sit idly by."

"Really?" Zhong Yanting sneered, "Since the name is right, then why do you want to deceive me?" ”

"Erchen doesn't want to make a big deal about it, and whether the seventh brother is dead or alive, Erchen doesn't know, in any case, since the seventh brother chose to jump off the cliff, he must also feel ashamed of everyone, even so, why let him bear the infamy." The truth and falsehood in Zhong Jiu's words must only be clear to him.

"You are thoughtful for Lao Qi." Zhong Yanting said in a sarcastic tone, "Are you really thinking about Lao Qi, or are you worried about the concubine dealing with you, don't think that only you know it in your heart." ”

"Since my father believes that the latter, what else does my son have to justify." Although Zhong Yanting's guess was correct, Zhong Jiu couldn't admit it.

"Since you can bury everything smoothly, you can not leak any news, deceive me, and deceive the world, you must have sealed a lot of mouths and killed a lot of people, right?" Zhong Yanting pierced Zhong Jiu's words, what is the difference between his method and Zhong Jichao.

"Indeed, none of the people who participated in the cruelty of the people and the murder of the people in the Medicine King Valley were spared." Zhong Jiu admitted, and didn't hide anything anymore, his tone was light, as if he wasn't talking about blood, and he was able to take care of the chess game on the chessboard.
