Just when everyone in the Hope Pavilion was discussing how to deal with the grassland tribes. It is also Dongcheng, but more than 500 miles away, in an inn in Shouzhou City, Huainan Province, where several people are now sitting around a table.

"Isn't it true that Grandpa Zhou's incident this time is not the handiwork of our Nansi?" A young man dressed as a junior asked worriedly.

"This is not Nanji's doing!" Gonggong Zhou replied categorically.

"Whether it's possible that there is no other person above this matter, we don't know." Shopkeeper Feng, who was wearing a long robe, asked cautiously.

However, as soon as he spoke, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, but now that the words had been spoken, he had to show a look of embarrassment.

And the hunched back Han who was sitting opposite him stared at him with a pair of sharp eyes.

And the young Chu Zhanggu immediately got up and pleaded guilty to Gonggong Zhou.

"Father-in-law Zhou, please forgive me, Lao Feng is old, he is inevitably a little confused, and I hope that Lord Haihan will speak!"

"Chu Zhanggu should not be so nervous, Feng Du's words are not impossible!" Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Gonggong Zhou immediately waved his hand with a smile and said.

"It's impossible, even if Nansi has the courage to plan to attack and kill the King of Huainan, let alone bombard the entire Huainan Palace!" Chief Han, who was hunched up, immediately shook his head and said.

"How so?" Gonggong Zhou asked with a frown.

"Back to my father-in-law, first of all, this King of Huainan is orthodox in Beiyu, and his original identity is extremely special, if His Majesty really intends to open the knife, then the King of Huainan must find enough reasons to open the knife." Chief Han carefully analyzed it for everyone.

After hearing his first reason, the three of them all nodded secretly. Indeed, as Chief Han said, the identity of this King of Huainan is too special, and he is now like a wall in front of Emperor Shengheng.

Although he blocked the path of Emperor Shengheng, he also blocked a lot of trouble for Emperor Shengheng. Once Emperor Shengheng demolishes this wall, the vassal kings from all over the world will surely rise up and attack it.

It can be said that although King Huainan is a thorn in the heart of Emperor Shengheng, he is also a life-saving talisman of Emperor Shengheng.

"The second point is that the previous King of Huainan is now the elder of Zongzheng Temple, and his influence in the royal family surnamed Mu can be described as very important, once the King of Huainan is moved, the old King Huainan will definitely put pressure on His Majesty and the court through Zongzheng Temple." When Director Han said this, he deliberately lowered his voice, for fear that the wall would have ears.

According to the regulations of the Dayu Dynasty, the elders of Zongzheng Temple and the temple should be kept secret from the outside world. And the reason for this is that they are worried that people outside the imperial family will use these juniors as hostages to blackmail the elders and priests of Zongzheng Temple to do things that are harmful to the Dayu Dynasty.

But there is an exception among these elders and temples, and this is the line of King Huainan. At the beginning, after the Nanyu royal family snatched the orthodox position of the Beiyu royal family, in order to stabilize the situation in the world and also to block the world's vital mouths, the Nanyu royal family set up a stipulation that the position of the great elder of Zongzheng Temple was hereditary by the Huainan king.

Although this regulation did help Nanyu Yimai stabilize the situation at that time, it did harm the kings of later generations.

This also led to the fact that Soshoji Temple became a mantra on the head of the royal family.

"In this way, it is really unlikely that Nansi will do anything to King Huainan." The young Chu Tianming said with his eyebrows condensed.

Although he is already the head of the prosecutor's office at a young age, after all, he is still an official and a small person, and he still doesn't know much about these secrets in the court.

"In that case, we can rule out that this matter was done by Nanji, but in this case, the most likely thing is that only other vassal kings are left." Gonggong Zhou gently rubbed his temples and said.

"If you want to say that this matter is the so-called of other vassal kings, it is indeed very possible, after all, the relationship between these vassal kings is complicated, and some vassal kings are also very ambitious, maybe some people want to take this opportunity to destroy the Huainan Kingdom in order to cause chaos." Han Yehong, the head of Han, said with a serious face.

From the moment he heard the explosion of the Huainan Palace, he knew that the mastermind behind this matter was to completely stir up chaos in the world, and then he could take advantage of it.

And to say that there are ambitious vassal kings in the world, basically accounting for more than half of all vassal kings.

As for the remaining half, there are also many people who are obscure and waiting for the opportunity to move. But in terms of strength, there are not many vassal states in the world that can wrestle with Huainan Kingdom.

Among these vassal states, the only one with which Huainan had a great dispute was the neighboring Yue State.

"I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with that old guy from King Yue!" As soon as he mentioned that the matter of bombing the Huainan Royal Mansion with a thunderbolt might be related to the vassal king, Chu Tianming immediately thought of Yue Guo.

Although he is the head of the procuratorate in Huainan, he is actually a native of Yueguo. Even Feng Du, the shopkeeper of Feng, is also a native of the country.

And the reason why the high-level of the Prosecutor's Office chose them to come to Huainan to be spies is because the Prosecutor's Office wants them to get close to Bao Wenqin, the concubine of the King of Huainan, with the help of the identity of the Yue.

Through her channels, the Prosecutor's Office can get a lot of information that is not available through other channels. It is precisely because of this that Feng Du's son Feng Long is lurking beside Bao Wenqin, on the surface he is Bao Wenqin's servant, but in fact, he is also the head of the Prosecutor's Office like Chu Tianming.

Usually, Feng Long would take the opportunity to go home to visit his father and pass on the news of his inquiry to the Prosecutor's Office.

"According to the news that my son Feng Long found out, before Bao Wenqin's housekeeper Lu Simian gathered a large number of Jianghu Youyong, after training, the organization became a hidden organization called the dove, among which there are a large number of Yue people, and I am afraid that it is inseparable from the Yue country at this time." Feng Du said slowly.

"This Lu Simian is also an ambitious person, he even named his organization so blatantly, what a dove organization, this is planning to occupy the magpie's nest in Huainan country!" Gonggong Zhou snorted coldly and said.

"If this incident is really the work of this so-called dove organization, then I think we have to evacuate all the personnel of the Nansi and the Prosecutor's Office in Shouzhou City and even the entire Huainan Kingdom as soon as possible." Gonggong Zhou pondered for a moment and continued.

"What? Evacuate all the personnel of the Southern Division and the Prosecutor's Office? The three of them were immediately taken aback when they heard Zhou's opinion.

You must know that at the beginning, the Southern Division and the Prosecutor's Office spent a lot of financial and material resources in order to install various secret agents in Huainan Kingdom.

They have been in Huainan for decades to achieve their current results, and now once they leave, it will be difficult to come back.

"That's right, after listening to your analysis just now, I thought about it carefully, and I found that this dove's assassination of King Huainan was an extremely subtle plan."

"Please also ask my father-in-law to teach me." The three of them focused their eyes on Gonggong Zhou.

"Think about it, if this dove organization succeeds in assassinating the King of Huainan now, who will be the biggest beneficiary?" Gonggong Zhou stared at the three of them and asked.

"If King Huainan dies, the biggest beneficiary is the great prince Mu Qingyun." Han Yehong thought for a while and said.

"Yes, if the king of Huainan dies, his son will be the biggest beneficiary." Gonggong Zhou nodded and said.

"But this morning, Mu Qingyun, the prince of Huainan, was assassinated by Zheng Gang, the deputy commander of the Shouzhou City Guard Battalion, in Xuanwu Gate. Feng Du heard that Gonggong Zhou had targeted Mu Qingyun, the prince of Huainan, and he immediately told everyone the news he had found today.

"We have also heard about this, but even so, as long as the prince of Huainan is still alive, he can't rule out the possibility of assassinating his father and waiting for the opportunity to seize power, as long as someone has a heart to publicize it, Mu Qingyun is afraid that he will have a headache."

"But my father-in-law, the entire Huainan people know that the prince of Huainan is extremely filial to his father, and I am afraid that the people of Huainan will not believe such slander." Chu Tianming didn't think anyone would believe such news.

"Even the people of this world are not stupid, they can still distinguish right from wrong." Feng Du also added.

"Having said that, although this dove organization wants to convince the people that it was Mu Qingyun who assassinated his father?" Gonggong Zhou just smiled coldly, and then said in a joking tone.

"Father-in-law means ······" The three of them didn't understand why this dove organization would have made such a move if it weren't for the people of the world to believe that Mu Qingyun, the son of the King of Huainan, had killed his father.

"Actually, you think wrong, in this world, the people who can absolutely the overall situation are always those high-ranking guys, and ordinary people are dispensable in their eyes." Father-in-law Zhou's tone was cold.

There was a hint of horror in the eyes of all three of them.

"Actually, the dove organization is just giving the vassal kings of the world an excuse to meddle in the affairs of Huainan Kingdom, it doesn't matter if Mu Qingyun killed his father or not, no one believes it, as long as these ambitious vassal kings believe it." Zhou Gonggong's words were like a sharp blade, which directly dismembered the cognition of the three people.

"At that time, the vassal kings of the world will inevitably use this as an excuse to interfere in the Huainan Kingdom, even if the old Huainan King is the great elder of Zongzheng Temple, I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress these vassal kings who are ready to move."

"If you don't get to this dove organization, it's extremely vicious, so this morning's Xuanwumen ambush is just a scene?" Han Yehong said with some uncertainty.

"That's not it, in my opinion, the Xuanwumen ambush dove organization in the morning is estimated to have planned to kill Mu Qingyun at the beginning, but in the end, Mu Qingyun's tone was so good that he escaped, but even if he didn't die, it would be insignificant for this big game of chess in Huainan Kingdom." Zhou Gonggong continued to talk eloquently.

"In this way, the ambush of Mu Qingyun by the Xuanwu Gate is an idle move for the dove organization, and it doesn't matter to them whether they succeed or not." Han Yehong's brows at this time had completely wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

"This is not an idle move, in my opinion, the ambush of Mu Qingyun by the Xuanwu Gate can be said to be a very crucial step in the entire plan of the Dove Organization." Gonggong Zhou shook his head, and he expressed a different opinion on Han Yehong's statement.

"I understand that the Dove Organization sent Zheng Gang, the deputy commander of the City Guard Battalion, to ambush Mu Qingyun at Xuanwu Gate in order to mobilize most of the troops in Shouzhou City to the direction of Xuanwu Gate, so that they can successfully carry out the explosion in Huainan Palace." Although Chu Tianming was not old, he understood the significance of Xuanwu Gate's ambush of Mu Qingyun at the first time.

"So what good is the assassination of the King of Huainan other than giving the other vassal kings an excuse to intervene in the disputes of the Huainan Kingdom?" Feng Du continued to ask.

"In addition, there is also the advantage that it can be used to eliminate the power and spies of the imperial court in Huainan and even the entire southern feudal towns and vassal states." The ears of the three of them immediately pricked up when they said this, because this one was closely related to their Nansi and the Prosecutor's Office.

"Why is that?"

"Think about it, if the dove organization releases rumors that the killing of King Huainan is a private order from His Majesty, then what should the vassal kings everywhere think at that time?"

"They're all going to be at risk!" Han Yehong continued to follow Zhou's father-in-law's thoughts.

"That's right, everyone is in danger, and when the time comes, these vassal kings will purge us, the people of the Southern Division and the Prosecutor's Office, on the grounds of self-preservation, and in this case, even if the court stops me, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be able to withstand the pressure of Zongzheng Temple and the world's vassals at that time." Zhou Gonggong continued.

"Then we can only become outcasts of the imperial court at that time!" The more Chu Tianming said it, the more frightened he became, because according to Gonggong Zhou, the final outcome of these people would definitely be death.

"In this case, we really have to make a decision as soon as possible and report this matter to the South Division and the Prosecutor's Office as soon as possible." Han Yehong's heart was also pounding at this time, and he felt that there was an invisible long knife on his neck that would fall at any time.

"I guess we don't have that much time, if we wait for the instructions of the Nansi and the Prosecutor's Office, it will take at least five or six days to go back and forth, and in these five or six days, I am afraid that we will already become a corpse." Gonggong Zhou shook his head.

"But if we don't notify the Nansi and the Prosecutor's Office, we mobilize all the spies and fans without authorization, this is a prelude to the first and then the prelude, and when the time comes, we will still be unable to escape death." Feng Du was a little worried at this time, he was now old, even if he died, there was no pity, but his son was still young and was already the head of the Prosecutor's Office, which could be regarded as having a bright future.

If he acted on his own initiative, he would be condemned at that time, and if it affected his son, he would never be able to accept it.

"As the saying goes, generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, and now Huainan is like a volcano about to erupt, if we still stick to the rules and hold on to the rules, I am afraid it will be difficult to die when the time comes." Seeing that the three of them were a little hesitant, Gonggong Zhou immediately said in a row of tables.

At this time, he exuded a soldier's awe-inspiring atmosphere, and he saw that Zhou Gonggong seemed to have returned to the time when he was a eunuch in the Pengzhou Army.

Thinking that at that time, he and Long Yi helped each other to resist the attacks from the grassland tribe again and again, year after year, how heroic and happy it was.

And now he is just an abandoned son of Beisi, driven by Nansi like a lost dog to live in a dark corner.

"Father-in-law Zhou, now you are no longer the eunuch of the Pengzhou Army, and we are not a battlefield here. Although Han Yehong seemed to be admonishing Father-in-law Zhou, there was a faint warning between the lines.

In this regard, Father-in-law Zhou could only pretend not to know, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Since the three of them disagree with my opinion on evacuating all the personnel of the South Division and the Prosecutor's Office, I will not mention it again." Gonggong Zhou immediately sighed, and then said to the three of them.

"In addition to the two points you just mentioned, does this dove organization have other purposes?" Han Yehong saw that the heroic aura that Gonggong Zhou had originally had dissipated in an instant, and was replaced by a sense of decline, and he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the tone of what he had just spoken.

In fact, before he followed Gonggong Zhou to the south, he called Gonggong Jiang to his side alone and told him some things.

The most critical point of this is to let him secretly spy on Grandpa Zhou along the way. Therefore, on the surface, he is a subordinate of Zhou Gonggong, and everything must be looked at by Zhou Gonggong, but in fact, Zhou Gonggong is just a prisoner under his supervision.

Once this week's father-in-law does something detrimental to Nansi, Han Yehong can take action against him at any time.

"Actually, there is a last possibility, and this one is probably the last thing I want to see." As soon as Gonggong Zhou said this, his tone immediately became serious, and the whole person was tensed like a bowstring.

"Oh? Is there anything more serious than the dove organization to provoke chaos in the southern kingdoms and the vassal kings to completely eliminate the people of our Inspectorate and the Southern Division? Chu Tianming saw that Gonggong Zhou was so solemn, so he couldn't help but be curious.

"That's right, if this matter is really as I said and guessed, then I'm afraid the entire Dayu Dynasty will overturn." Gonggong Zhou said word by word.

"What's so serious?" All three of them were panicked by Zhou's statement.

"This possibility is that the dove organization has colluded with the grassland tribes, and their assassination of the king of Huainan this time is to make the Huainan country fall into chaos, and the grassland tribes can use this to smoothly cross the Huainan country and drive all the way south." Zhou Gonggong said the last possibility.

He had already received news that an army of 20,000 men from the Steppe tribe had captured a large number of ships in Bianzhou, and then they had disappeared.

Although most of the people in the court believed that the army of the steppe tribe was intended to bypass the defenses of the vassal armies by boat, and then since the southern attack on the capital of the Great Yu Emperor, it was able to attack the Great Yu Emperor on three sides with the other two armies.

But Zhou Gonggong, who was very familiar with the grassland group, knew that things were far from being as simple as these people thought.

As soon as he got the news, he judged that the real goal of this grassland tribal army should be Xinzhou as the capital of the Dayu Dynasty.

The purpose of their seizure of a large number of ships was to follow the Bianshui River southward, and then continue down the Huaishui River all the way to Xinzhou.

And Huainan, as a vassal state close to the edge of Huaishui, will be a big threat to the southward movement of the grassland tribes.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out whether the assassination of the king of Huainan organized by the dove was instigated by the grassland tribe.
