Seeing Lu Ning's face solemn.

Suddenly.

Pei Tianbei quieted down, and his ears moved slightly.

Immediately, his consciousness dispersed, and he could feel a touch of coldness.

But he couldn't feel the people in the darkness outside the temple.

Lu Ning slowly got up, walked to the weapon shelf, and held the Spring Equinox Sword in one hand and the Winter Thunder Sword in the other.

He turned around and gave the Winter Thunder Knife to Pei Tianbei.

Pei Tianbei snorted lightly, grabbed the Winter Thunder Knife and walked out of the side hall.

Outside the temple.

The cold moon is like a rock.

Sprinkled with a cold glow.

Pei Tianbei walked out of the hall and stared at the night sky.

Lu Ning walked out with him.

Seeing that this fool didn't shout loudly, he was a little surprised.

Immediately, the consciousness spread.

Discover the voyeur in the dark, hidden very deeply.

Not to mention the palace guards, even he didn't find out where the latter was hiding.

After a while, the coldness gradually disappeared.

Lu Ning glanced around and said, "The person is gone." ”

Pei Tianbei nodded, turned around and walked into the side hall with Lu Ning.

After closing the door, he said, "Brother Lu, your divine sense perception is so strong, I haven't even found the location of that person." ”

Lu Ning chuckled, in fact, he didn't find anyone either.

The person who came was not weaker than Mu Yan, and he cultivated above the fourth grade in the later stage, but obviously he didn't plan to do it.

Lu Ning guessed that it might be from the palace.

……

Qin Mansion.

Brightly lit.

The yard was heavily guarded.

In the main hall, the elder Qin Zhong, his eldest son Qin Hui, second son Qin Ye, and third son Qin Cheng are all there.

Hubu Shangshu, Rite Shangshu, Zhenbei Hou and others.

There is also a very important person, Zhou Xiao, the little prince of Yongshan.

Since Kou Wei was killed, Zhou Xiao has been hiding in the mansion and dare not come out.

Today, Qin Zhong sent a four-grade master to pick it up in person, and Zhou Xiao dared to leave the house.

Qin Zhong invited everyone to the mansion, but kept silent about the eldest princess and the edict.

Just drink and have a relationship with everyone.

Tobe Shangshu and others had a feeling of flattery.

Wine until half-full.

It's Zhenbei Hou, Xu Kaishi.

A man with a rough face and a slightly dark complexion.

He inherited the ancestral industry, the strength of the four products, and held the real power.

The left squire of the military department.

After pouring a sip of wine, Xu Kaishi opened the topic and said: "Old Qin, the prince of Yongshan is here, you invite everyone to the banquet, you know it, just open your mouth, what do you want everyone to do?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhong's expression became serious, but his heart was happy.

He needs a person like Xu Kaishi to be the first bird.

"Yes, Elder Qin, if you have anything to say, you can give it." Tobe Shangshu also echoed.

"Elder Qin, is it about the edict?"

Everyone followed and asked, and saw that Qin Zhong was sitting on the top seat and did not speak.

They exchanged their own heads.

There is a discussion about where the edict is.

Someone explained that Emperor Wu was about to collapse, so hurry up and prepare early.

It is also said that they want to support King Yongsan to succeed to the throne.

Zhou Xiao was excited when he heard this, and also looked at Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong stared outside the main hall, and after a while, the old butler walked in and whispered in his ear.

"The prince and you, the old man is old, go to the inner hall to rest for a while, and then come out to drink and talk with you."

With that, Qin Zhong got up and walked into the inner hall with the old manager.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Qin Hui one after another.

Qin Hui greeted everyone with a smile.

Zhou Xiao looked at Qin Cheng beside him, leaned closer and said, "The old man invited this prince tonight, is it to discuss the matter of the edict?" ”

Qin Cheng's eyes swept over everyone and lowered his voice: "Yes, don't be anxious." ”

Inner nave.

The old manager quickly arranged a True Qi enchantment.

Qin Zhong lifted the jade bead curtain and walked into the study, staring at a white-haired eunuch wearing a dark purple eunuch costume with his back to him.

couldn't help laughing and said, "Gonggong Yan is here, but what does Gong Cao mean?" ”

"Our family has seen Qin Ge Lao."

Gonggong Yan turned around, although he had white hair, his face looked like he was in his fifties.

"Yes, the eldest princess returned to the palace, but His Majesty has not woken up."

"Our family just went to Yongle Palace to take a look, a small lieutenant of the Demon Suppression Division, a Pei Tong's youngest son Pei Tianbei, and eight internal guards, as well as Bai Xue of Baiyun Taoist Temple, others can ignore it."

"Yan Gonggong sits!"

Qin Zhong nodded and came to the desk and sat down.

Gonggong Yan didn't sit down, he held the dust in his arms, stared at Qin Zhong and said, "The little lieutenant of the Demon Suppression Division and Pei Tianbei are relatively vigilant, but their strength will not be too strong. ”

"Cao Gong is in the palace, it's really inconvenient to make a move."

"Gong Cao's intentions, if Elder Ge wants to help King Yongshan, then hurry up."

"Either let the eldest princess disappear, or go to the Tianxing Tower to get the secret edict, and then go to the Golden Terrace to get the edict."

As he spoke, Gonggong Yan turned around: "Remember, if you don't see the secret edict, no one will want to take the edict from the golden platform." ”

One finger broke through the old butler's true qi barrier.

Father-in-law Yan opened the door and walked away in a flash.

Qin Zhong stared at the door of the inner hall through the jade bead curtain.

The cold wind poured in, and the curtain of jade beads blew.

"Kou Shize's son, tomorrow's funeral?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then it's so quiet tonight!"

Qin Zhong's old eyebrows raised slightly, and he said twice: "There are too many people, there are enemies all over the world, and it is difficult to find out who killed his son." ”

As he spoke, he sighed:

"Old Wei, what do you say the old man does?"

Manager Wei frowned and said, "Master, no matter what you do, self-protection is the most important thing. ”

How could Qin Zhong not know.

He lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "The choice is greater than the effort!" If it weren't for the old man's strength to override public opinion and support Emperor Ming Wu, how could he have exchanged for thirty-three years of peaceful life. ”

"Emperor Ming Wu actually wants to kill the old man, but the old man is as loyal as a dog, he wants money to give money, and he wants to govern the country to give good policies, otherwise there is no rule of Ming Wu."

"That Kou Shize also learned from the old man, otherwise Emperor Ming Wu would have killed him a long time ago."

With that, he got up and paced to the window.

"If Emperor Ming Wu lasts another one to two years, the old man and Kou Shize will have to die if they don't die."

"It's a pity and lucky, he can't survive this month, he will collapse!"

"The old man now has three paths to choose from, support King Yongshan, support Concubine Qi, and support King Anshan."

"Among the three people, the old man wants to support King Ansan the most."

"It's a pity that during the period of Emperor Xingwu, King Anshan wanted to get rid of the old man and support him to ascend the throne, and the old man was bound to die."

"The second is to support Qi Guifei, but Qi Guifei may not be able to give birth to a prince."

"The old man doesn't dare to bet."

"I can only choose the King of Yongshan, but the King of Yongshan is ruthless and unscrupulous."

As he spoke, Qin Zhong turned around, stared at Chief Manager Wei and sighed, "It's a pity, although the eldest princess has a man's ambition, she is not a man!" Otherwise, with full support for her, the old man may be able to live for another thirty years. ”

Manager Wei frowned for a moment, and said something earth-shattering: "Since ancient times, no woman has ascended the throne as the emperor, if the lord supports the eldest princess to ascend the throne as the empress of the Great Zhou, there may be unexpected results." ”

Qin Zhong stared at Manager Wei in a slight stunned manner.

……

Late at night.

A black-clothed masked figure appeared on the roof of the palace of Yongle Palace like a ghost.

Judging from the body shape, the convex and backward is a woman.

The forbidden troops patrolling back and forth in the palace, as well as the guards on duty at night, were unaware.

But one person noticed it.

He is Muyan.

Just as the masked woman in black quietly opened a brick, a fist shadow struck from behind.

The masked woman in black also reacted extremely quickly.

He flipped in the air, dodged the punch, and then swept away into the distance.

"Humph!"

Mu Yan snorted coldly and chased after him.

The woman turned around and pointed like a sword, billowing sword qi, and slashed at Mu Yan, who was wearing a silver mask.

"Who is it?"

"There are assassins!"

"Catch the assassin!"

The billowing sword qi alarmed the guards in an instant, and they couldn't help but shout.

In the side hall, Lu Ning, who was sleeping in his clothes, heard the cheers and opened his eyes suddenly.

Meanwhile.

That Pei Tianbei also sat up suddenly.

Lu Ning took the sword, and Pei Tianbei took the knife.

The two of them quickly rushed out of the side hall, and one of them appeared on the roof of the palace.

I saw that Yongle Palace was facing south.

Under the cold moon, the two figures were extremely fast, chasing and catching up.

"Brother Lu, chase after them, don't let them escape from the palace!"

Pei Tianbei was extremely excited, and he went away.

"This fool is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, everyone is gone, who will protect the eldest princess?"

Lu Ning pursed his lips, stood on the top of the palace and did not chase after him.

Just vigilant around.

Suddenly, a magnetic voice came from behind:

"Amitabha, the donor should chase after him!"
