The capital, the imperial palace, the imperial study.

"Chen Liudao, I've seen Your Majesty."

"Minister Zhouxiong, I have seen Your Majesty."

The two worshippers stood in front of the empress Liang Zhao and saluted respectfully.

Zhou Xiong has a strong figure, good facial features, some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, slightly frosty sideburns, some vicissitudes, his arms are slightly long, and his palms are full of calluses, obviously a master of using palms.

Yanagichi is full of white hair, hanging down to his shoulders, his eyes are bright, his face is full of wrinkles, and his body is well-proportioned.

Both of them are not very old, Zhou Xiong is thirty-five or six, and Liu Dao is forty-two and three, but they give people a feeling of old age.

This is the side effect of the martial arts master.

Rapid debilitation!

As a martial artist, thirty or forty years old is undoubtedly the peak of martial arts, but due to Shouyuan, they can only gradually age until the end of their lives.

Is this the price of great power? But why doesn't Zhou Zhenwen seem to be affected? Could it be that he has just recently become a second-grade grandmaster...... Empress Liang looked at them like this, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Zhenwen in her heart, Zhou Zhenwen's strength was undoubted, but his appearance didn't seem to have changed.

Does he have a way to keep his face up?

"The two Aiqing don't have to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Empress Liang looked at the two enshrined grandmasters and said solemnly: "The situation is urgent, so I will make a long story short. ”

"Qingzhou Taishou Zhang Qi colluded with foreign races, embezzled Qingzhou grain, and intended to rebel, I hope that the two of them will secretly go to Qingzhou, kill Zhang Qi, and stop the conspiracy of foreign races."

"Is that so?"

Liu Dao, who was full of white hair, hugged his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, it is a matter of Jiangshan Sheji, and the minister is the worship hall of worship, and it is my duty to do it!" The minister will definitely kill Zhang Qi to prevent the occurrence of turmoil in Qingzhou. ”

Zhou Xiong also hurriedly spoke: "The minister is the same." ”

"Okay." Empress Liang Zhao stood up, supported the two worshippers, and said movingly: "The two worshippers are indeed the pillars of the country, and I am waiting for the two of you to triumph in the capital." ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." The two worshippers said in unison.

Empress Liang Zhao hummed lightly and said: "Well, the two worshippers, this time, be sure to conceal your whereabouts, don't use the horses of the post station, it is easy to be noticed, you can rent horses by yourself, and the cost will come out of my private treasury." ”

"Also, Zhang Qi colluded with the Heavenly Wolf Country, there may be a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Wolf Country hidden in Qingzhou, there is no need to conflict with them, your purpose is to kill Zhang Qi, as long as Zhang Qi dies, they can't make any waves, naturally there is a way to solve it."

"After Zhang Qi dies, you don't have to come back in a hurry to help Chen Jia, the assassin of Qingzhou, stabilize the overall situation of Qingzhou."

"Zhang Qi has a general named Wu Yong under his command, he has followed Zhang Qi for many years, and knows a lot of insider information about Zhang Qi, you can go to this person first, control him, let him make meritorious contributions, and find Zhang Qi's accounts of embezzling grain and grass, letters and silver bills for trading with the Heavenly Wolf Dynasty, these things can convict Zhang Qi."

"I hope the two worshippers can bring things back."

"I will not disgrace my life!" Liu Dao said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will complete the task." Zhou Xiong responded.

"Okay, let's get ready, let's go." Empress Liang Zhao nodded and commanded.

"Yes." The two saluted and turned to leave.

After the two left, Empress Liang Zhao looked calm, but she was thinking about the gains and losses in her heart: Zhou Xiong is the queen mother's spies, and he will definitely quietly tell the queen mother about this matter, and the queen mother knows that the two of them will go to Qingzhou, and there may not be any radical moves! Caution is still needed.

The reason why Empress Liang Zhao wanted to send two worshippers this time was because she was worried that if she only sent one grandmaster, it would be difficult to kill Zhang Qi.

As for the candidate, Zhou Xiong must go, because he is the traitor of the Empress Dowager Su Chang, if he stays in the capital and the two loyal to the royal family go to the worship, then she will be equivalent to giving up her life.

Therefore, Zhou Xiong must go, and on the premise that he is not exposed, he must use his power as much as possible.

Liu Dao was slapped to death by Zhou Xiong in the last simulation, and it is obvious that he is not the spy of the Queen Mother Su Chang and can be trusted.

The three worshippers, the remaining Yang Lie, in the last simulation, desperately protected himself and left him in the capital, which was the most assured.

……

Cining Palace.

"Your Majesty asked you and Liu Dao to go to Qingzhou, kill Zhang Qi, the Taishou of Qingzhou, and solve the Qingzhou Rebellion?" Queen Mother Su Changliu's eyebrows were slightly raised, she thought about it, and nodded, "Then you can go!" Since it was explained by His Majesty, it is difficult for the mourning family to say anything. ”

"Queen Mother, do you need to give Liu Dao ...... this time to Qingzhou" Zhou Xiong silently made a throat-cutting action, the meaning of which is self-evident.

The Empress Dowager Su Chang thought for a moment and said, "If Liu Dao dies, I am afraid that you will be suspected by the emperor." ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, the ministers have their own methods, isn't the grandmaster of the Heavenly Wolf Country here? Just push the finger on the line! Zhou Xiong smiled coldly, his eyes full of cold killing intent.

"In that case, then you can handle it yourself." The Empress Dowager Su Chang bowed slightly, agreeing to Zhou Xiong's plan.

"Queen Mother, if the minister kills Liu Dao, what reward do you have?" Zhou Xiong looked at the Queen Mother and asked softly.

The Queen Mother Su Chang squinted slightly and looked at Zhou Xiong: "I don't know what reward Zhou Aiqing wants?" ”

"The minister feels that the crimson elixir rewarded by the Queen Mother last time is of great benefit to the minister...... Zhou Xiong said tentatively.

Although Zhou Xiong didn't know the identity of the Queen Mother Su Chang, her strength made him feel extremely jealous of the worship hall.

Especially her appearance, she is not aging?

It's scary.

Whether it is a rejuvenation technique or the ability to resist aging, it is enough to show the strength of the Queen Mother.

Last time, in order to win over Zhou Xiong, the Queen Mother rewarded three crimson pills.

After Zhou Xiong tried to take it, his blood and qi increased greatly, and he felt a sense of rejuvenation, and the green silk on his sideburns was a lot less, he was sure that this red elixir was definitely not from the Great Wilderness Refining Pharmacy, but from other countries.

This elixir is of great benefit to those of them who are deficient in blood qi, and can delay aging and increase blood qi.

Although it is not to the point of replenishing longevity, it is precious enough.

"Yes, if Zhou Fengfeng can kill Liu Dao, the mourning family can give you some more Chiyuan Dan." The Queen Mother Su thought about it and agreed.

It turns out that those pills are called Chiyuan Dan? If I can get a large amount of Chi Yuan Dan, I may not be able to break through to a grade and become a great martial arts master...... A trace of greed and covetousness flashed in Zhou Xiong's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and he said respectfully: "Yes, thank you to the Queen Mother." ”

The greedy color in Zhou Xiong's eyes, the Queen Mother Su Chang naturally saw it, and she was also sneering in her heart, of course, the effect of Chiyuan Dan is good, but you can't take too much, otherwise the fire poison in it will spread all over the body, if it goes deep into the internal organs, it will be difficult to treat.

This Zhou Xiong is too greedy, but he is easy to control!

"The minister will retire first." Zhou Xiong said respectfully.

"Well, go ahead." The Empress Dowager Su Chang bowed slightly, and watched Zhou Xiong leave with a smile on her face.

After Zhou Xiong left, Queen Mother Su Chang's smile disappeared in an instant, and she became expressionless, her eyes flickering, thoughtful.
