In the back alley of the North City, in the back alley of the Optimus General's Mansion, a black carriage slowly drove into the alley, and finally stopped in front of the back door of the hole. 【Full text reading】Pinshu.com
Under the protection of several plainclothes masters, a slender young woman with a beautiful face got out of the carriage, put on a round hat with a veil, walked briskly through the small door, and walked towards a garden of the mansion.
In the heavily guarded small garden, Huo Rushan, the general of Qingtian, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the young woman coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "The last general has seen the lady concubine Niangniang"
The favorite concubine of the king of the Duchy of Canglong, Concubine Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help Huo Rushan, and said with a smile: "Big brother, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite."
Huo Rushan looked at his own sister with emotion, and after holding back from the left and right, he asked nervously: "Little sister, is there something happening in the palace?"
Concubine Shu shook her head, her smile turned cold, hatred flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head and said: "Big brother, it's not a big deal, my little sister came this time to ask you for a little favor."
Huo Rushan's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "You and I both have the blood of the Huo family in our bodies, there is nothing to help, you need the eldest brother, the eldest brother must be on your side"
Concubine Shu was moved, her chin tightened, she took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, I asked you to help me kill Xiao Qiang"
"Xiao Qiang" Huo Rushan froze for a moment, reacted violently, couldn't help but be shocked, and said with annoyance, "Little sister, you are confused, Xiao Qiang is not something you and I can move"
Concubine Shu was unmoved, a look of resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said coldly: "A year ago, if it weren't for him, how could I be beaten into the cold palace by His Majesty, and how could the six princes be expelled from the capital, in the past year, do you know how many grievances I have suffered in the palace, do you know how desolate the six princes have been, and now that the eldest brother has made great achievements on the Western Front, His Majesty has regained his favor with me, but when I think of what Xiao Qiang gave in the past." My little sister can't sleep at night, Xiao Qiang doesn't die, I can't feel at ease."
Huo Rushan smiled absurdly and said: "Little sister, it was you who accepted the gift from the Hou family in the first place, let the six princes spread rumors about Xiao Qiang, and instigated the magnates of Canglong City to besiege Xiao Qiang, this matter was originally your mistake." How can it be counted on Xiao Qiang's head?"
Huo Rushan was very aware of Xiao Qiang's status among the military generals, and he was alone on the Eastern Front. He humiliated the prince of Yulong, and also made a bad breath for those generals, and recently he did not hesitate to rob the law field and saved Lu Kuangtian, who had a very high prestige, and even more praised the generals.
The temperament of soldiers is always upright, so they don't care whether Xiao Qiang is a drug seller or not, and they don't care whether Xiao Qiang is a repeat offender in Dragon City. Xiao Qiang's actions have been recognized by them, and that is enough
Huo Rushan patiently explained Xiao Qiang's status in the army to Concubine Shu, and the implication was that he was obliged to do anything else, but he Huo Rushan couldn't do something like killing Xiao Qiang
Concubine Shu looked at her eldest brother in shock. A moment of miserabled laughter: "Big brother, it's too late, I've already sent someone to assassinate him"
Huo Rushan's head buzzed, his eyes were full of stars, he gasped heavily, and hurriedly asked, "What is the result?"
A hint of panic flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes. Shaking his head: "I don't know, those six dead soldiers went to kill Xiao Qiang that night, but since then they have been useless and shadowless, as if they have evaporated, until yesterday, the palace did not inquire about Xiao Qiang again"
Concubine Shu's eyes were red and she fell to her knees. sobbed: "Big brother, the thing has been done, the little sister has no way out, if Xiao Qiang is not, the one who dies must be the little sister."
Huo Rushan tried his best to calm himself down, and asked in a deep voice: "Who else knows that you sent someone to kill Xiao Qiang?"
Concubine Shu said softly: "Master Lu, who protects the country and the national teacher, he was the one who patrolled Canglong City that night, so when the assassination happened, he deliberately withdrew his divine sense, and no one else knew about it except him." ”
"Master Lu is also on your side" Huo Rushan was moved, and for a while he didn't know whether to praise his sister or scold him severely.
Concubine Shu recovered, re-became the lord of the first palace, in just half a year above the sixth palace, became His Majesty's favorite, can be said to be in the limelight for a while, now she has a lot of power in her hands, Master Lu is the national teacher who protects the country, has always been transcendent, only responsible for the safety of the royal family and Canglong City, unexpectedly also won over by Concubine Shu.
Huo Rushan's mind was like electricity, and when he learned that Master Lu had come forward, he was finally no longer so frightened.
"Little sister, what do you want me to do" Huo Rushan thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and asked in a deep voice.
Concubine Shu looked at her brother with wide eyes, couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, I have already heard from Your Majesty that the reason why Xiao Qiang is a repeat offender in Dragon City is because when he traveled in Canglong Mountain in his early years, he accidentally entered the legendary Dragon Tomb and stole more than a dozen dragon clan magic crystal nuclei."
"There is such a thing" Huo Rushan was shocked.
Concubine Shu nodded: "Not only that, but he also had the audacity to give the magic crystal nucleus to others privately, because it caused the anger of Long Cheng, so big brother, I want you to spread this news, the sooner the better."
Huo Rushan was nervous, but he also breathed a sigh of relief, it was indeed a big crime to privately teach the dragon clan's magic crystal nucleus, and it implicated others, Long Cheng didn't attack Xiao Qiang for a long time, I think it was also to take back these magic crystal nuclei.
This makes sense, Xiao Qiang and Long Cheng actually have nothing to do with each other, it's just that everyone is suspicious, it is conceivable that if the truth spreads, those who hate Xiao Qiang and dare not do it will probably have any scruples
Concubine Shu's face showed a faint murderous intent, and continued: "This palace learned that Xiao Qiang and his team have gone to Gulang Villa for trial, and we can also use the three houses he bought in Nancheng as tricks and feet, even if we can't kill him, we must make him notorious and never turn over."
Huo Rushan squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Little sister, I have people, you just need to tell me how to do it, but Xiao Qiang is still under the protection of Dragon City after all, our plan must be cautious, and there can be no mistakes."
Seeing that the eldest brother was completely on her side, Concubine Shu showed a smile on her beautiful face, and lowered her head and said: "Don't worry, big brother, day and night, I am thinking about how to let Xiao Qiang die, we miss once, we will never allow a second miss."
Just when the brother and sister were planning a plan to frame Xiao Qiang, eight hundred miles away in Gulang Villa, on the eighteenth floor of the ground, Xiao Qiang was surrounded by a bright starlight, and the eighteen magic circles in the underground world were finally activated at the same time.
