A day later, the outline of the towering and winding city wall of Zhaoge City was already close in front of him.

After half a year, Xie Zhao, Ling or Han Changsheng actually returned to the famous and colorful capital of the Southern Dynasty again.

Unlike last time, this time there was one less knowledgeable and amiable Yu An'an by their side, but there was one more deputy envoy of Hulu, Bo Xuan, who had a calm temperament and a martial arts mastery who had entered the Mahayana Heavenly Realm.

On that day, Bo Xuan realized that his appearance might attract attention when he entered Zhaoge City and bring unnecessary trouble to everyone, so he also learned from Xie Zhao to find a mask to wear.

It's just that Xie Zhao's silver-white fox face mask looks weird at first glance, but when you look closely, it can barely be regarded as medium-looking, but Bo Xuan can only buy a fierce grimace mask in Lanling County in a hurry.

This grimace mask with blue fangs doesn't look terrifying in the daytime, but at night when you see it, it's really life-threatening.

Fortunately, along the way, it was not the soldiers of Langya Pass, or the forbidden army of Zhaoge City, and the courage of the heroes in the army had already been strengthened, and it was just a grimace mask, which was not a problem at all.

Li Zhuo was indeed cautiously and quietly observing the behavior of several of them at first.

But later it turned out that they really seemed to be just people in the rivers and lakes, and they were not interested in their military affairs at all. In addition, seeing the shape of the weapon on Ling He's waist, and hearing Peng Xiao explain in private that Ling He was actually a disciple of Lao Jun Mountain, he completely let down his guard.

At this time, Ling He drove the horse and drove it close to Xie Zhao's horse. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he asked softly:

"We're about to enter the city, what are we going to do?"

Yesterday, Li Zhuo stared at them very closely all day, so in order to avoid arousing suspicion and being feared, the few of them almost never talked privately and discussed how to go in the future.

Now that Su Ning has committed suicide, the line about her is broken.

But the "young master" is still at large, and he doesn't know what kind of tricks he is plotting in a sinister way.

They attacked Peng Xiao, and it was clear that it was only the first step to provoke the temple turmoil in the Southern Dynasty.

But now this move not only did not work, but also took the life of his sister. Since they have paid such a big price, I am afraid that they will not let go easily in the future.

So in this case, what do these descendants of the former King Yong of Western Xinjiang plan to do next?

Xie Zhao shook his head slowly, and said softly: "They are treacherous and elusive, I still need to take care of it." ”

Ling Or was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously blurted out:

"Can't you even think of what they're going to do next?"

Xie Zhao smiled and sighed: "In everything, you must know the origin of an event and the fundamental purpose of a person, so that you can deduce the trajectory of his actions.

If it is just because the Xunyang Xie family was once ordered to go west to help the royal family quell the chaos, the brothers and sisters of the Xunyang family hated the people of the Southern Dynasty so much, I think there is something strange in it. ”

Ling or frowned.

"What if they were so careful?"

Xie Zhao shook his head.

"Even if their siblings' hearts are as small as needles, then the first person they want to stab at should be the contemporary emperor and royal family of Western Xinjiang.

The 'righteous master' who put blood feuds doesn't care, but he first aimed the signs at the Southern and Northern Dynasties, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

So I suspect that there may be something hidden in this, or that a third person secretly intervened in it to influence the judgment of the siblings. ”

Ling He was shocked when he heard this.

"Do you mean that the person behind this matter is not actually Su Ning? Is there another person who counsels them and induces them to do what he wants? ”

Xie Zhao sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know, so it's just some unfounded speculations and hunches on my part. ”

She shrugged her shoulders slightly, her brow furrowed into a light wrinkle.

It's just a pity that she is wearing a mask, so Ling He can't see her expression and demeanor at this time.

Xie Zhao said softly: "To be honest, I thought that we had caught the little tail of the mastermind behind the scenes.

But it wasn't until that day, when we were intercepted by an unknown peerless master in the mountain road outside Xunyang County, that I realized that I had thought too simply. ”

Along the way, they were obviously to help Ling He and find out the truth about their own life experience and the murder of their biological mother together.

But the events were unfolded one after another, and the threads of the old things were gradually pulled out.

They went from the Shen Mansion of Ruyang, to the Mansion of Bai Mengxian, the Governor of Zhaoge City, to the Yuwen Department, the Hulu Holy Altar, the Imperial Court of the Northern Dynasty, and then to the capital of Musk Duncheng in the Western Frontier, and finally returned to the Kyoto Zhaoge of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty.

And the object of suspicion has also changed from the Yuwen Department at the beginning, to the former helmsman of the Northern Dynasty, to the unknown behind-the-scenes people, and to the descendants of the previous generation of King Yong in Western Xinjiang, and finally it is even more confusing, it seems that even after King Yong of Western Xinjiang in the past, he may not be the real leader.

Things have developed so far, far beyond Xie Zhao's initial estimate.

The "third person" who she suspected was still deeply hidden behind the scenes, in fact, the identity is not clear now.

He used the unyielding and resentful heart in his heart after King Yong of the Western Xinjiang Clan to affect the ups and downs of the four realms of the world, what is the ultimate goal?

And what does he get out of it?

The scattered clues of this pile are now as confused and hazy as looking at the moon in the fog and looking at the flowers and water, so that Zhiduo is as close to the demon as Xie Zhao, and it is difficult to describe where the chess pieces after the third person plan to fall and what they plan to do.

But one thing is almost certain, and that is that this man is menacing and has malicious intentions towards the Southern Dynasty.

Because whether it is nearly 20 years ago, whether it is the layout of the country, through the Su Ning to dedicate the plan to the first emperor of the Northern Dynasty Hanyong Tuoba Xiao, using the true bloodline identity of "Shaoguang Gongxian" Leng Hanyan to make a fuss, trying to provoke the resurgence of the war between the north and the south; Or did it happen later to design and kill Peng Xiao, intending to cause Emperor Tianchen and the ministers to have a quarrel and make the temples of the Southern Dynasty rise again

——All these signs can show that the layout of the "third person" in the Southern Dynasty is so malicious, it is by no means unintentional and accidental involvement of Tianchen, but it is imperative and targeted.

even

Xie Zhao's eyes flashed with a cold sharpness.

Even her three uncles, the world-famous "Three Heroes of the Xie Family", died mysteriously on the battlefield within two years, all of which were strange and coincidental.

Now, it is difficult for Xie Zhao not to doubt whether the deaths of her three uncles are also part of the plan behind the "third person".

If that were the case, it would be terrible.
