In fact

Yang Dong had already guessed that there must be another force hidden by Ji Ziyue's side.

With the current situation of Da Zhou, if Ji Ziyue had no other forces around her to protect her, she would have died in the hands of Lin Chunqiu long ago, how could she survive until now?

It's just that, perhaps because the emperor is naturally suspicious, the existence of this power, even Yang Dong, can only be faintly perceived.

Of course, what really made him stone hammer was this time in Jiangnan.

Along the way, he had noticed that someone was secretly following them.

It was only after throwing stones a few times to ask for directions that he found that the other party did not seem to be hostile to him, so he pointed the spearhead of suspicion at the empress.

But...... This kind of taste of being hidden by a loved one is not pleasant.

Yang Dong drank the tea in his cup, a little depressed, and walked slowly on the streets of Xuefeng Town.

……

Beijing, Study,

The dragon shadow reappeared in the empress's study.

Ji Ziyue took the secret letter, and then frowned slightly.

"These guys from the Blood Jade Alliance are simply bold!"

"Trying to coerce my people to achieve their ulterior motives is shameless!"

She scolded secretly, but she began to feel a little melancholy in her heart.

In fact, today's Blood Jade Alliance is already invincible.

Even if she is the emperor of the Great Zhou, she is helpless against the other party now.

It's just that...... Could it be that I have to watch these rebellious ministers and thieves, what are they secretly planning?

The empress gritted her teeth, looked at the contents of the secret letter, and did not speak for a long time.

Dragon Shadow also seemed to have expected that this matter would not be easy to handle.

After a brief silence, he tentatively asked:

"Your Majesty...... Since Yang Gong mentioned in the letter, he needs some masters. ”

"Maybe Yang Gong has already made a decision in his heart. All he needs now is His Majesty's support. ”

When the empress heard this, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

Indeed, the secret letter only mentioned the current situation of the Blood Jade Alliance and Yang Dong's search for reinforcements.

However, it was not mentioned above that Yang Dong asked the empress to think of a solution.

Could it be ......

Xiao Dongzi is planning to take all the blame on himself?

At the bottom of the empress's heart, such an idea suddenly popped up, and then she felt that there was an inexplicable warm current flowing slowly in her heart.

Yes, the matter of the Blood Jade Alliance is a dead end.

If Xiao Dongzi plans to make a move, it is estimated that most of the people who are controlled by the Blood Jade Alliance will be killed or injured.

With Xiao Dongzi's character, he definitely doesn't want me to be infamous for not caring about the lives of the people!

Thinking of this, the empress's heart was suddenly full of guilt.

I was still thinking in my heart before, secretly guarding against Xiao Dongzi.

But right now, Xiao Dongzi is willing to defile himself and be infamous on his back, and he also wants to protect my name.

I'm still too suspicious after all!

The empress bit her lip lightly, and at this moment, she secretly made a decision in her heart.

"Long Ying, you immediately take people to Jiangnan now."

"On my side, except for the necessary protection, the rest of the people are all brought to Jiangnan!"

"Xiao Dongzi is my person, I definitely can't let him chill!"

When Long Ying heard this, a touch of reluctance instantly appeared on his cheeks.

He opened his mouth and tried to speak several times, but he pressed it down.

This is not because he personally has any opinion on Yang Dong, but because he can see that His Majesty has already made a decision.

Whether it's right or wrong, Dragon Shadow's first creed is always to obey His Majesty's orders.

So he got down on one knee, bowed and saluted:

"Your Majesty, your subordinates will take orders."

……

The capital, the Imperial Palace,

In a quaint old courtyard,

It seems that no one has set foot here for a long time, and the yard is full of weeds. It is in stark contrast to the neat and clean palace outside.

At this moment, an old voice came from this courtyard.

"The little emperor plans to move the dragon shadow?"

"Tut, after so many years, I finally let the old man wait for an opportunity!"

"The Ji family, the old man went to the soup for you, and after so many years before and after the saddle, it's time to charge some interest!"

"Speaking of which...... Ji Ziyue, a female doll, is now a good childbearing age. ”

"The old man has achieved great success, just use her to try the depth, and she is ......"

……

At this moment, Ji Ziyue didn't know,

A life-and-death crisis was gradually looming over her head.

Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.

……

In the next few days,

Yang Dong still stayed in Xuefeng Town,

But neither his side nor the Blood Jade Alliance's side had any intention of making a move.

The two sides seem to be caught in a tacit understanding,

That Boss Huang even took the initiative to come to the door and invited Yang Dong to have a meal.

However, Yang Dong never heard any valuable information from the other party's mouth.

On this day,

Yang Dong was shrinking in the inn, practicing his own exercises,

Now he can already feel the existence of that bottleneck.

It's just that he seems to be a little short of breaking through this bottleneck.

But it was this that made him feel extremely tormented.

This bottleneck is like a balloon, no matter how hard you push, it will deform instead of popping open.

Yang Dong knew very well in his heart that this meant that the time had not come.

Even if you work hard to cultivate, it is not easy to break through the realm for a while.

Just then, there was a rhythmic knock outside the door.

Yang Dong was about to get up, but he saw the figure of Hong Lao Liu and appeared in front of him.

"Boy, are you still in a hurry to practice?"

"Tsk, it's really rare for such a hard thing to happen to you!"

Yang Dong glanced at Hong Lao Liu angrily, and said disdainfully:

"Sixth, can you say a few words?"

"Master, I finally want to practice seriously, are you so shocking?"

After saying that, he got up and picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and then asked:

"You came to me today, what's the matter?"

"You kid, don't you know how to pour a cup of tea for the old man? It's not too big or too small! ”

After speaking, Hong Lao Liu actually took the initiative to pour himself a cup of tea.

He took a sip, then took out a piece of rag from his arms and slapped it in front of Yang Dong.

"You kid, you must want to know, how did Boss Jia arrange it?"

"Here, just see it if you want to!"

Yang Dong's expression was slightly stunned, and he glanced at Hong Laoliu with some suspicion.

Seeing that the other party's expression was normal, he picked up the rag and looked at it carefully.

As a result, the next moment, he was completely stunned.

Because I saw only a few words written on the rotten cloth.

"Listen to Yang Dong."

"This, this, this...... What does this mean? ”

Yang Dong pointed to the words on the rag cloth and asked puzzled.
