After the Butter Lantern Festival, Xiao Lingjiang rarely went out again, and only stayed in the courtyard to practice pranayama.

In this way, Gongji wanted to make a move on her, but he couldn't find any suitable time.

Seeing that he had been in Akagi for more than a month, but there was no news from the shrine, Gongji was still in a hurry.

The reason why he stayed in Akagi was because of the snow blocking the road, and on the other hand, it was to facilitate contact with the shrine so that the shrine could arrange a move.

However, more than a month has passed, and there has been no response from the shrine.

Gongji sent a number of people to make secret inquiries, and finally received a terrible news.

"Smack!" The teacup in his hand fell straight to the ground and shattered.

Gongji didn't care about his wet clothes, stood up in disbelief, stared at the subordinates in front of him and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

The subordinates leaned down and said the original words again: "Qi Qi Daxiang, the Divine Palace was attacked a month ago, the Lord of the Divine Palace died under the ruins, and the rest of the people were also taken down......"

"Has the news been confirmed?" Gongji still couldn't believe it, he couldn't say, his subordinates were mistaken.

The man nodded solemnly: "These words are said by the people of the Divine Palace themselves. ”

They had sent messages to the people of the Divine Palace several times before, but there was no response there. He really couldn't sit still, so he led people to go to Shazhou in person, and found the stronghold of the shrine in the city.

He didn't give up, and after a few days of searching with the help of Shazhou connections, Fang found the person he had been in contact with before in a secret place outside the city.

It turned out that after someone in the Divine Palace escaped by luck, he hurried to the Shazhou stronghold to inform the other party of the news. After that, these people immediately hid from them, lest someone find them on the ground.

After he found these people, he learned that in just two or three months, such a big change had happened in the Divine Palace.

"How could it be...... How could it be ......" Gongji's eyes widened, holding on to the corner of the table, and unconsciously took two steps back.

After a few breaths, he relieved himself: "Do you know who did it?" ”

The subordinate shook his head and said: "The other party came in disguise, and that person didn't know the name and surname of the person who came, but he only knew that the other party had a lot of masters and mysteries. He was originally an inconspicuous figure in the Divine Palace, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to escape without anyone noticing. ”

Master, Xuanshi......

As soon as these words came out, Gongji's mind was instantly clear, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and spit out a few words word by word: "Xiao, Ling, Jiang!" ”

The exact location of the shrine is unknown to him.

Now in this northwest land, the land where the Divine Palace can be found, and there are those who have the ability to remove the Divine Palace Lord, except for Xiao Lingjiang, there is no one else.

After she was injured by the envoy of the White Tiger Palace that day, she was assassinated one after another to the point of being critical.

He originally thought that it was the Divine Palace, but now that he saw it, it was just Xiao Lingjiang's trick.

In the days when she was healing in Liangzhou and living in seclusion, I am afraid that she secretly took people to the Divine Palace early.

For a while, Gongji didn't know whether to hate himself for being careless, or whether to hate Xiao Lingjiang for being too cunning.

He really never thought that even a person like the Lord of the Divine Palace could be defeated by her.

Thinking of this, Gongji's eyes couldn't help but deepen.

Now that the shrine has been broken, a few people who escaped by luck don't dare to make any more moves for a while, so they can only hide in Shazhou for the time being.

This Xiao Ling Jiang ...... In the end, it can only be dealt with by him.

Gongji couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have listened to Yongmu's words in the first place, and recruited Xiao Lingjiang, a plague god, to come to Xifan.

Without the help of the Divine Palace, and the fact that he couldn't directly send heavy troops to besiege her, it was not so easy to get rid of her. Especially, now that the Divine Palace is destroyed, he is even more worried about Xiao Lingjiang's methods, if she wants to make trouble in secret, he has to be careful.

Gongji twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then went to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to his subordinates: "Send this letter to Yingdu." ”

The shrine left a mess, and Yongmu didn't have a reason to stay out of it like this.

After speaking, he cautiously advised: "Be careful, don't let people target you." ”

Since arriving in Xifan, it is unlikely that Xiao Lingjiang will want to take his actions in the present as he did in the Great Zhou. But even so, he had to be careful again and again.

"Yes." The subordinates clenched their fists and led the way.

The matter of the Divine Palace made Gongji's heart troubled, and it felt like a chessboard that had already been laid out by someone suddenly overturned, and the victory was in his hands, but he was caught off guard and the whole game was empty.

However, when facing Xiao Lingjiang, he could only look unaware.

Xiao Lingjiang in front of her sleeves moved slightly and picked up the teacup, lowered her eyes and blew lightly, causing the heat to be thick and hazy her eyebrows.

Gongji looked at her sipping tea, looking leisurely, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a smile: "The princess seems to be in a good mood today, and she has time to find me to taste tea." ”

Xiao Lingjiang bowed slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a light smile: "This palace has come to look for the great minister this time, and there is indeed good news to tell." ”

"Oh?" Gongji asked suspiciously, "I wonder what kind of good news makes the princess so happy?" ”

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes bent slightly, and he slowly spit out a sentence: "The Divine Palace has been destroyed, and the evil way has been punished." Is this good news? ”

She looked at Gongji's expression, although he was stunned for a moment, but there was no surprise in his eyes, thinking about this news, he had already known about it recently.

She just didn't know, and continued to smile: "On the way from now on, the prime minister and the main palace finally don't need to worry about the secret affairs of the divine palace......"

Xiao ordered Jiang Mingming to go to Shazhou in person, but after the matter was completed, he didn't say a word, and even ordered someone to suppress the news for the time being.

If it is said that it is to prevent Gongji from pursuing the matter of secretly eradicating the shrine on the grounds of recuperation, it is not necessary.

After all, she is the princess of Da Zhou, and when she was assassinated in Liangzhou, it is reasonable for her to lead people to act in addition to the Divine Palace. Although Gongji is the prime minister of Xifan, he has no way to put his beak.

And the reason why she is like this is because of other considerations.

Xiao Lingjiang and the He family were originally hidden in the land of Linchuan, and were later reappointed by the Great Zhou Emperor in order to deal with the Divine Palace. For them, the shrine is both a crisis and an opportunity.

At that time, the Divine Palace had not yet been completely destroyed, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to hide all the birds. And now, the Lord of the Divine Palace has died, everyone has been captured or scattered, and the Divine Palace, which had given Da Zhou a headache, has completely collapsed, and she and the He family have no worries in their hearts?

Although the He family is currently assisting the crown prince in power, there are still many officials in the Great Zhou court who are secretly unconvinced. Once the news of the destruction of the Divine Palace comes out, there may not be anyone who uses this as an excuse to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the He family.

But at present, Xiao Lingjiang wants the He family to block the real power and power, and only in this way can she plan and act on her trip to Xifan.

Xiao Lingjiang temporarily concealed the news of the destruction of the Divine Palace, and also wanted to give the He family more time to consolidate the power in his hands.

Therefore, as soon as the Divine Palace was destroyed, she immediately sent a message to He Xiangshan secretly to ask him to prepare.

Recently, Gongji and Shazhou have been in frequent contacts, and he should know about coming to the Divine Palace.

In this case, she no longer needs to hide it, and simply reveals it bluntly in front of him, which can be regarded as a deterrent.

The Divine Palace has been overturned, and it stands to reason that there should not be many bumps and tricks in her future trip to Xifan. If Gongji wants to attack her under the guise of the Divine Palace again, he will have to think a little more......
