Chapter 009: Take the Initiative

As Qingchen entered southern Xinjiang incognito, Shikoku also fell into a superficial calm.

Although Xiao Yi was taken away, he did not alarm Ning Yue's court, because after Xiao Yi disappeared, Zhao Xu found someone who knew how to change his appearance from Qingyan Cuiliu, dressed as Xiao Yi, and sat on the dragon chair every day to deal with the government. Light Smoke and Cuiliu are full of talents, and they are loyal to Xiao Yi, with their help, Ning Yue Kingdom will naturally have no problems.

Although Mobei was ready to move, Wan Qianjun was hindered by the peace agreement signed with Xiao Yi and Qingchen before, and in the case of the temporary truce of Tianxing Ningyue, he did not dare to act rashly, plus Wan Qiyun was unwilling to fail and escaped from the dungeon of Mobei Palace, which also caused a lot of trouble to Wan Qianjun.

But Tianxing Kingdom was controlled by Qingchen, Mu Qingjue has been placed under house arrest by her, and she is under house arrest in Zhaoyang Palace, where Lu Qiao lives, with Lu Qiao and Xingxing Lou watching, there will be no big problem at all. And the affairs in the court, with Lou Xiyu and the prime minister of Tianxing Kingdom, nothing can happen.

It is precisely because of this that Qingchen will stay in southern Xinjiang with peace of mind, do what he wants to do, find Xiao Yi, and find out the final truth.

Southern Xinjiang is not the Central Plains in the end, and the intelligence network of the Star Picking Tower has entered the Southern Xinjiang for a short time, so Qingchen waited in the Six Kings Mansion for seven days before receiving the information from the Star Picking Tower.

About Nie Xinrou and Nie Xinlin, about the regent Nie Ruyi, and the national teacher Yu has no chance.

Qingchen locked himself in the room, spent a whole day, memorized all the information of these people in his mind, and re-sorted the network of relationships in southern Xinjiang, until a certain thought in his mind gradually became clear, then he opened the door and walked out.

And Jie Yu and Nie Xinyao, the Sixth Imperial Daughter, stood outside the door, waiting for Qingchen to come out.

"Mu Gongzi has worked hard, the palace has prepared wine and food, why don't we talk while eating, how about it?" Nie Xinyao said as she made a "please" gesture towards Qingchen, and then leaned sideways to give up her position and accompanied Qingchen towards the dining room.

When she arrived at the dining room, Nie Xinyao ordered someone to bring all the wine and food, poured a glass of wine for Qingchen and herself, and then raised a glass to Qingchen to show respect.

Qingchen didn't shirk either, and after drinking the first glass of wine with Nie Xinyao, he put down the wine glass, and then spoke:

"Your Highness, now you have an idea, but many things require Your Highness's cooperation. ”

"If Mu Gongzi has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, if you need the cooperation of this palace, please say it bluntly, if it is beneficial to this palace, this palace will definitely not refuse. Nie Xinyao is also a cheerful person, and when she saw Qingchen say this, she nodded directly.

"With His Royal Highness's words, then you can rest assured. Qingchen said, and then slowly spoke again, saying that she had come to a conclusion after thinking all day, waiting for Nie Xinyao's reply.

"It's a good idea to keep them at bay, but it's easier said than done. Nie Xinyao frowned, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of what Qingchen said.

"It's not very difficult, Your Highness only needs to ......" Qingchen lowered his voice and said something softly in Nie Xinyao's ear, but saw Nie Xinyao nodding thoughtfully, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Qingchen's words.

"What Childe said is very true, this matter will be arranged by the palace, and Childe will definitely give a satisfactory answer. Nie Xinyao said, and then gave Qingchen a glass of wine, the two of them came and went, talked happily, and laughed and laughed.

Whether it is Mu Qingchen or Nie Xinyao, they are all rare bold women in this world, although Nie Xinyao looks innocent, but her scheming and strategy are extremely outstanding among the princesses in southern Xinjiang, otherwise she would not be favored by the empress.

So the two of them are still very similar in some ways, even if Nie Xinyao doesn't know that Mu Ye in front of her is a daughter, but Qingchen can feel the aura similar to himself on Nie Xinyao's body.

After three rounds of drinking, the things that the two of them were going to say were almost done, and Qingchen proposed to leave, Nie Xinyao didn't keep much, thinking that Qingchen was living in the Six Kings' Mansion anyway, so he sent Qingchen away, and then asked someone to withdraw the banquet.

Qingchen returned to the courtyard where he lived, sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip gently, he spoke:

"Hold Yu, you say, is it right for me to do this?"

"Why did Childe say this?" said Shoyu, a little puzzled.

"Destroy the condensing moon first, and then slaughter Mobei...... Do you still remember what the man in black said? Now, Ning Yue and Mo Bei have changed hands because of me, because of Xiao Yi's matter, even the Heavenly Star Emperor Mu Qingjue has fallen into my hands, and everything is according to the trajectory of the man in black, without the slightest deflection......" Qingchen said.

"Childe, you are too worried, the moon is not extinguished, Mobei is fine, and Tianxing is still peaceful now, how can it be the same as what the man in black said? It is precisely because of your intervention that the world is not only not turbulent, but has a tendency to gradually calm down, except for the war between Tianxing and Ningyue, other ...... It didn't cause much damage......" Grip Yu comforted Qingchen.

Listening to Jiyu's words, Qingchen fell into deep thought. Indeed, although all these things happened in accordance with the order that the man in black said, but the result was not as the man in black said, does this mean that some of her actions have unknowingly broken the other party's plan and caught the other party off guard?

"You're right, I really shouldn't think about it, what I'm going to do now is to cooperate with Nie Xinyao to find Xiao Yi. Qingchen said.

When the words fell, Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a faint worry between his eyebrows. The intelligence network of the Star Picking Tower covers a wide range and is pervasive, even the affairs of these royal magnates in southern Xinjiang, Mingyue can check it for her, but no matter how you check it...... There is no news of Xiao Yat.

Since that day, she was in the capital of Tianxing Kingdom, and received news from tomorrow that after Xiao Yi was kidnapped by Xiao Ling and Tianquan, the whole person was like evaporating from the world, and there was no news at all, no matter how she inquired, there was no clue at all, as if this person had never existed.

She never believed that the traces of a person's existence could disappear without a trace, no matter how clever the other party was, there would always be the slightest flaw, but she could never find where this flaw was, and even Xiao Ling's whereabouts were unknown.

If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have to go to great lengths to give advice to Nie Xinyao, but directly followed the clues to find Xiao Yi's whereabouts.

"Although I am not as delicate as Sister Huaijin, I can see that Childe was always in a passive state in the past, and since the appearance of the man in black, Childe's mind has changed. Although he is still helping Tianxing to attack Ning Yue, it is not the desperate kind of in the past, as can be seen from the fact that Gongzi wants to protect Nanjun. Now Childe doesn't want to follow the path arranged by the other party, so he can only take the initiative, and only by turning the passive into the active can Childe gain the upper hand. Seeing the look on Qingchen's face, Zhan Yu thought for a moment and spoke.

"Although you are not as delicate as Huai Jin, you are smart and alert, and many things can be understood at a glance, just like now, it is precisely because of your words that I have avoided letting myself continue to sink in misunderstandings. Qingchen smiled and said, "Okay, Shuyu, there are also people from our Star Tower in Southern Xinjiang now, although I don't know where Mingyue placed them, but the contact information has not changed, and now I am the only one by my side, so many things have to work hard for you." ”

"Childe's words are serious, since I followed Childe's side, I vowed to do my best to do what Childe explained, and Childe should tell me if I have anything. Ji Yu said.

According to the news found by Mingyue, the Seventh Imperial Daughter Nie Xinlin has always been friendly with the eldest princess Nie Xinyu, because Nie Xinyu had been injured and fell ill before, so Nie Xinlin has been seeking medical advice everywhere, and seems to be very concerned about the eldest princess's body. Qingchen said lightly, "But as far as I know, in the hands of the eldest empress Nie Xinyu, there is also a part of the military power in southern Xinjiang. ”

"So, the Seventh Imperial Maiden is for the sake of the military power in the hands of the Great Imperial Maiden, so she will show favor to the Great Imperial Maiden?" said Zhiyu.

"This motivation accounts for ninety percent. Qingchen nodded, "The military power in Southern Xinjiang is divided into five, which are in the hands of Empress Nie Ruyan, Prince Regent Nie Ruyi, Empress Nie Xinyu and two other generals. Of the two generals, one of them is the person of the six princesses, and the other remains neutral, it is impossible for the military power in the hands of the regent to be handed over, and the three princesses are also frequently embarrassed in front of the empress, so the only choice for the seven princesses is to win over the eldest princess. ”

"What is the son going to do?" asked Shoyu.

"Since you want to help Nie Xinyao, the first step is to stop other forces from forming gangs. Qingchen said, "The three princesses have worked hard, and their power in the DPRK and China has almost been formed, and it is not easy to deal with, and she is a concubine, and for Nie Xinyao, the eldest daughter, the threat is not as big as Nie Xinlin, so the top priority is to solve Nie Xinlin." Qingchen explained.

"What does that prince need to do with Jiyu? Is that what the prince and the six princesses talked about?" he asked again.

"Yes, it is. Qingchen nodded, "It is said that after a period of time, it will be the birthday of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess made contributions to southern Xinjiang in her early years, and the empress must be responsible for the birthday of the eldest princess, this is a good opportunity." ”

"I remember that the message given by the Protector of the Bright Moon said that the birthday of the eldest princess was on the third day of the second month, and now it is only the twenty-fifth day of the first month, and there are still seven or eight days of kung fu, so isn't it that we are not doing anything in the Six Princes' Mansion?"

"No, let's use these seven or eight days to find out some of the situations in southern Xinjiang, and when there are any situations in the future, we can adapt to them, so that we will not be passive and don't know anything. Qingchen said.

Since she had already speculated that the other party would have something to ask for when she captured Xiao Yi, then she knew that Xiao Yi's life was not in danger at present. So...... She came to lure the snake out of the hole, and she must let the person behind the curtain come out to find her in person.
