"Back to the prince, the subordinates also found out that the messenger was carrying an invitation letter, saying that it was the emperor's birthday next month, and the prince of Liuyun Kingdom was invited to participate in the birthday banquet, and the subordinates also felt strange, so they specially came back to tell the prince first, and analyze the queen mother's motives." Compared with Xiu Lei, Nie Tian is not only strong in martial arts, but also alert and thoughtful, so over the years, it can be said that he has become a confidant of Xigong Jue, and no matter how big the matter is, he will trust him to do it.

"Birthday? Invite the prince of Liuyun Kingdom? Xigong Jue pondered these words repeatedly, as if he wanted to understand the mystery inside.

"Lord Wang, do your subordinates have an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Nie Tian said boldly.

"Tell me about it."

"The subordinates feel that the Empress Dowager He may feel more and more threatened by the prince, especially when the northern rebellion comes back this time, the people have been rumored that the prince has worked hard and has made great achievements, and sooner or later he will replace the new emperor, so the subordinates guess that this time the Empress Dowager He sent an envoy to pull relations with Liuyun Kingdom, do you want to unite with Liuyun Kingdom to deal with you?" Nie Tian's analysis is also correct, and there is also this possibility.

But Xigong Jue shook his head firmly: "Your analysis is correct, but according to this king's understanding of the Queen Mother, she will definitely not mean this, Empress Dowager He has always been cautious, back then she was able to eliminate all difficulties and defeat all opponents to assist the emperor to ascend the throne, it should not be underestimated, and before internal and external troubles, she paid more attention to external troubles, because Liuyun Country is now getting stronger and stronger, and several princes are also adults with full wings, Liuyun Country has not moved in those years, and now the soldiers at the border pass are not convinced, and they have begun to frequently provoke our Tianmu Kingdom, It is enough to prove that Liuyun Country has been unwilling to be suppressed by us for many years, and if we fight, we may not be sure of victory, so if she wants to form an alliance with Liuyun Kingdom, it will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the room. ”

After listening to the master's analysis, Nie Tiancai knew how far he was thinking, it seems that King Ruian is worthy of being the King of Ruian, and what he thinks in his heart is always more long-term than others, no wonder the emperor liked him so much back then.

"Lord Wang, what should we do now? Do you want to kill the messenger? Nie Tian had no idea at all, and only sought the master's meaning.

Xigong Jue shook his head: "By all means, killing the envoy and being known by the Queen Mother will only make me more wary, and this time we haven't figured out her intentions yet, let's wait and see what happens, in short, the situation is complicated now, and you must be careful every step." ”

"Yes, everything under my subordinates is at the disposal of the prince." The reason why Nie Tian has followed Xigong Jue for so many years, no matter how he punishes himself, he has no two hearts, not only because he made an oath and repaid his kindness to the emperor back then, but also because of a kind of worship of men, and he was willing to be sent by men who did such great things.

It's late at night again

In the remote corner of the Quiet Garden, two men in black looked at each other......

"Didn't you say I wouldn't let you come? Why are you still here? Besides, if you have something, wouldn't it be good to send someone, why do you come yourself, do you know how dangerous the person of Xigong Jue is? Mrs. Jing looked at the man in black opposite, her eyes showing dissatisfaction.

"Yuqing, I'm really worried about your safety, and I can't rest assured." A rugged man's voice said slowly.

"I'm fine, although the West Palace Jue doesn't fully trust me now, but it's not bad for me, and you also know that I look too much like their queen, so even if the West Palace Lord doesn't have true feelings for me, he won't forget his old lover, you can rest assured, by the way, did you come this time to the Lord's meaning?" Mrs. Jing asked suspiciously.

"No, I came here secretly, I just want to see you, Yuqing, I miss you." The man was not confident, as if he had done something wrong.

"You...... You want me to tell me what is good about you, when has this happened, you have done such a big thing, what if the whole plan is broken? Mrs. Jing was so angry at the moment, if she wasn't in the palace, she had to be careful everywhere, she really wanted to slap him a few times.

"Yuqing, I regret it, I shouldn't have been willing to let you do this mission, the two of us have been together for so many years, we should get married as soon as possible, and then fly together, but now I only look at my fiancée in the arms of others......?" Before he could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Mrs. Jing.

"Peng Cheng, what stupid things are you talking about at this time, I came voluntarily, and you should know that if you want to win the trust of the West Palace Jue, you have to pay everything, just a shell, I don't care what you care about, if you really dislike me, then I will contact you with the marriage contract when I go back after completing the task, and from then on, men and women will marry, and they have nothing to do with each other, okay?" Mrs. Jing was not angry when she said this, when she came to carry out the mission and decided to take the risk, she had already thought about everything, and gave her body to Xigong Jue, naturally she could not get the love of other men in the future, and on the day she retired, she might be alone for a lifetime.

Who knows, as soon as he finished saying this, the man became angry: "Yuqing, what are you, do you think that my Peng Cheng loves your body?" You underestimate me too much, no matter what you do, you are my favorite Yuqing, I will not give up on you, I got the dragon pattern order, after killing the Xigong Jue, you come back, we will get married, and I Pengcheng will never break my word. ”

"Okay, don't talk about this nonsense, let's get down to business, go back and tell the lord, I may have to stay for a while, Xigong Jue is too careful, I can't get the dragon pattern order smoothly, I don't know where the dragon pattern order is now, let alone kill him, the process may be longer, but I am confident, that's all, there is ...... Don't come in the future, the palace is heavily guarded, and the Xigong Jue's subordinates are extraordinary, if we are caught, we will lose all our efforts. After saying that, Mrs. Jing disappeared into the night in a flash.

The man in black showed a trace of reluctance in his eyes, burdened with national hatred and family hatred, he had no choice but to watch his beloved woman go to his arms and give him a hug, maybe he was suffering from this pain every night, but helplessly, no one could change the situation.

Tianxuan Palace in the Imperial Palace

The lights were still bright in the middle of the night, and the emperor and the queen mother seemed to be having a long conversation with candles, and they withdrew everyone, including the queen mother's cronies.

The mother and son sat quietly like this, and the Queen Mother spoke first: "Emperor, your people have been checking the dragon pattern order for so many years, and there is a whereabouts, where is it hidden by the West Palace Jue?" ”

"When I returned to my mother, I haven't found it yet." The emperor said lightly, as if he didn't care too much about these things.

Seeing her son's attitude, Empress Dowager He couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Emperor, don't think that the dragon pattern order is really just a legend so magical, what is your father like, the mourning family knows best, doesn't he just want to put Ouyang Qianxi's son on the throne in this life?" So when he was dying, he secretly handed over the dragon pattern order to Xigong Jue, do you know how powerful the dragon pattern order is? If the first emperor didn't have this thing back then, he wouldn't have been intimidating, there were so many countries in the Fangtian Continent, why were other countries at war continuously, but no one dared to provoke our Tianmu Country, wasn't it because of the Dragon Pattern Order? ”
