At night, Yi Shuiliang, the chief housekeeper of the prince's mansion, held a letter from home, hurried to the Fenglin Palace, and asked to see Mrs. Qin overnight.

This letter comes from Mrs. Qin's maiden home, Zhao Mansion in Lingnan City, Binzhou, although the family letter talks a few words, but it points out that the situation is serious:

"My mother has worked hard for half her life, and now she is old, she has become sick from overwork, and she has been sick for several days, and she misses her sister every day and looks forward to visiting home. ”

That night, Mrs. Qin said goodbye to the eldest prince with tears, and flew to Binzhou overnight on the "Tianxing Boat", Mrs. Qin just left, and the whole Kyoto was boiling because of the anger of the eldest prince, and the most famous place in Kyoto, Qiushui Pavilion, was the source of igniting anger.

Qin Feng disappeared again, and this time the disappearance made the entire Great Prince's Mansion exude an indescribable and inexplicable aura of killing.

Qin Feng disappeared again on the sixth floor of the Qiushui Pavilion that night, Xiao Mengying was naturally implicated, and found an important piece of physical evidence in her bedroom, Ying Zhu, who was taken away by the tiger on the spot and detained alone in the dungeon secret room, and the screams of the dungeon that night did not stop until dawn. And the entire Qiushui Pavilion was also turned upside down by the pro-guards of the Prince's Mansion, and the person in charge of searching the Qiushui Pavilion was the head of the Thorn Tun Room of the Prince's Mansion, Yezixuan!

The night was close to dawn, Kyoto was surprisingly quiet, the moonlight was dark, the sun had not yet risen, the sky was blue, and the cold was inexhaustible.

The courtyard of Qin Feng's mansion of the Great Prince was filled with blue and white light, which was extremely dazzling in the quiet night, and this light came from a cold soldier that reflected the moonlight-the Great Xia Dragon Bird Knife.

Qin Yu was holding a long knife, Ye Zixuan was standing quietly beside him, and in the night sky, a suspended shadow bead clearly projected the process of Jiang Youlan killing Qin Feng on the Broken Peak Cliff in front of Qin Yu's eyes.

"Great Prince, Jiang Youlan suddenly disappeared in the academy, and my people failed to capture her, do you order a search of the academy, or let Dean Luo's little kid hand it over directly?" Ye Zixuan put away the shadow bead, put it into the pink wooden box, and said coldly with his eyes closed.

Qin Yu shook his head, his expression calm and terrifying. With a wave of the Great Xia Dragon Bird Knife in his hand, a violent knife qi, like a burning wing, quickly slashed towards the stone pavilion in the other courtyard, and the entire stone pavilion disappeared in an instant, leaving only a burning mark.

"Jiang Youlan is just a chess piece, or a dead chess piece. What I'm going to kill is the person who is in the game, and the little miscellaneous who dares to pretend to be my son and doesn't know whether to live or die. ”

The calm voice of the eldest prince echoed in the Qin Feng Courtyard, only to see Qin Yu raise his head, his eyes looked at the Tower of Babel from afar, and after a few breaths, he turned his head to look at the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and said in a calm tone:

Feiying informed Li Hu and Xia Yong that the five million frontier hussars and Xiao cavalry guarding Guanju City would converge with the four million "Youyi Army" in Beiwangcheng and transfer them to Kyoto within half a month. ”

Ye Zixuan's expression changed sharply, and he immediately knelt down, and pleaded with his words: "The eldest prince thinks twice, Xiao Mengying's confession of the lewd daughter may be fraudulent. ”

Qin Yu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Xie Yuquan has tortured with his soul before, what Xiao Mengying said is true, that day, Xiao Mengying personally sent the fake Qin Feng to the Tower of Babel." Although there was no clue of this shadow bead in her soul, the entire Daluo Empire, except for the remnants of the Shang Dynasty who were immortal in the Tower of Babel, who dared to pay attention to me Qin Yu's head. ”

"Master Quan, didn't he go to Yunlan Prefecture to find his senior brother Bu Tiance, and when did he come back? But the eldest prince, even so, there is no need to mobilize the army so vigorously and mobilize nearly 10 million border cavalry troops?" Ye Zixuan still wanted to try to stop Qin Yu's decision.

Qin Yu looked down at Ye Zixuan, then looked at the palace to the north, and said in a cold tone: "Ye Zixuan, I know that you are loyal to the empire, but I, Qin Yu, have no feelings for this empire, as far as I am concerned, I would rather lose the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me!"

As soon as the words fell, another red light flashed, and then Ye Zixuan heard a miserable scream, and Ye Zixuan's legs were cut off by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife in the hands of the eldest prince.

"Someone, send Ye Zixuan into the palace and hand it over to His Majesty Luo Ling in person. "In Qin Feng's courtyard, there was a murderous order from the eldest prince.

East of the capital, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lane Mei Pavilion is the favorite place of Prime Minister Yuwen, in the center of the huge courtyard, there is, and only one "You Xuemei" from the North Rin Region, and this Lane Plum Pavilion is built on a branch of this You Xue Plum, ten zhang from the ground.

Walk into the Lane Plum Pavilion along the winding branches, look around, the tables and chairs carved with good sandalwood, carefully carved with different patterns, and flow everywhere The delicate and gentle feeling of belonging to the daughter's home, this Lane Plum Pavilion is the study of Yuwen Prime Minister's youngest daughter, Yuwen Suyan.

Prime Minister Yuwen has a son and two daughters, the eldest daughter Yuwen Mengze, the second son Yuwen Wendu, and the youngest daughter Yuwen Suyan.

Yuwen Mengze studied in the Imperial Academy, rarely went home, and the second son Yu Wenhua entered the Fufeng Continent's first-class sect - Qianlongmen at the age of five, and was included in the Qingyangzi seat, only the youngest daughter Yuwen Suyan was weak and sick since she was a child, and stayed at home all the year round.

And this You Xuemei has the effect of repelling cold and rejuvenating yang, which is very beneficial to Yuwen Suyan's condition, so as long as she has nothing to do, Yuwen Suyan will stay in the Langmei Pavilion.

Langmei Pavilion has always been quiet, but tonight, it seems to be a little lively.

Prime Minister Yuwen's body is slightly fat, his lower abdomen is bulging, and a linen-gray cloth robe is also fat.

However, Yuwen Suyan has a delicate appearance, and her complexion is especially white and greasy, and Fufeng Continent is born in a hot place, so fair skin is really rare, and such a complexion is extremely rare even in the Northern Rin Region. I saw that she was wearing a small leather jacket with green brocade, the color was very bright, but under the reflection of her beauty, no matter how brilliant the brocade was, it was already colorless.

There are also two middle-aged men in Langmei Pavilion, one of them is short and rough-looking, it is Lu Yan, the captain of the Criminal Department, and the other is a man in the army with a burly body, dark skin, and a straight back.

Lu Yan works in the Criminal Department, and he knows the most details about the search of Qiushui Pavilion tonight, and he is terrified to tell everyone:

"After Qin Feng disappeared again, Hu Benqi searched all the shops in Nanfang City, Tongtianfang, the capital overnight, on the pretext of clearing the enemy's secret agents, and arrested two hundred and forty-two people, and at the same time, the Prince's Mansion Thorn Tun Room searched the entire Qiushui Pavilion at the end of the Yin Dynasty, arrested the person in charge of the Qiushui Pavilion, Sun Sanniang, and the Oiran Xiao Mengying, and found an important object in the courtyard: Shadow Bead!"

Xie Changhe frowned slightly, took the lead in taking the words, and asked, "Shadow beads, what is recorded in the shadow beads?"

Lu Yan did not rush to answer, but turned his head to look at Prime Minister Yuwen, only to see that Prime Minister Yuwen was carefully pruning a pot of cold plums in front of him, and his attention seemed to be on the topic at all, Lu Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued:

"recorded the entire process of Jiang Youlan killing Qin Feng with her own hands on the Broken Peak Cliff. ”

Click!

The brief silence of the Langmei Pavilion was broken by the pruning knife in the hand of Prime Minister Yuwen, and this knife was obviously too strong, breaking the main branch on the left side of the pot of cold plums.

Prime Minister Yuwen put down the scissors in his hand, walked to the window, looked at the Babel Tower in the south, and looked at the imperial city after a while, and finally shook his head, sighed long, and said with emotion: "Since ancient times, the battle of the dragon qi of the country has inevitably become a mountain of bones and a river of blood. The Shang Dynasty Empire, which dominated the Quartet in the past, even came to an end because of this, may God bless me Da Luo. ”

After speaking, Prime Minister Yuwen turned around suddenly, his eyes shot at the cold star, and he said in a solemn tone:

"Xie Changhe, you led the six rates of the East Palace, withdrew from Kyoto overnight, and went to Peicheng to garrison, Lu Yan, you write a letter for me and hand it to Yang Yisi, the head of the household department, so that he must present it to His Majesty tonight, just say that the old man is old, he wants to enjoy the blessings, and plans to resign and return to his hometown. ”

Xie Changhe and Lu Yan looked stunned at the same time, they didn't know why the prime minister had such an arrangement, and they were about to ask the reason, but they saw Prime Minister Yuwen wave his hand and said, "Stand down." ”

The two could only take orders and retreated one after another.

After the two retreated, Prime Minister Yuwen did not leave, but continued to build this pot of cold plums, after a cup of tea, all the branches of this pot of cold plums were cut off, and the bare ones looked monotonous and ugly.

"Su Yan, tell me, which side will Your Majesty stand on this time?" Prime Minister Yuwen put down the scissors in his hand and asked his youngest daughter:

From beginning to end, Yuwen Suyan, who had been reading books and didn't hear anything outside the window, heard her father ask, so she put down the ancient books in her hand and said calmly:

"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the Tower of Babel belongs to the remnants of the old forces of the Shang Dynasty Empire, and it has always been Your Majesty's heart disease, especially those few advanced cultivators, if Your Majesty stands on the side of the Tower of Babel this time, it will be regarded as the surrender of the old forces of the Shang Dynasty, and Your Majesty's voice in the cultivation world is naturally higher, and there is no need to look at the faces of the first-class sects such as the Floating Life Pavilion and the Hidden Dragon Gate. ”

"The reason why there are still many principalities around the Great Luo Empire has always been weak in the three major empires of Han, Chu and Luo in the Fufeng Continent, is that Qin Yu and His Majesty are not of the same mind.

Qin Yu is a generation of heroes, decisive in killing, extreme in action, and more importantly, his loyalty, but he will not do his best for the empire. This is also His Majesty's biggest heart disease, if His Majesty stands on Qin Yu's side this time and avenges his son, the Great Prince will inevitably serve the empire wholeheartedly, the Great Prince's military talent is unparalleled in the world, if the monarch and the ministers are single-minded, maybe it is possible to unify the Fufeng Continent as the Great Shang Dynasty in the past, and then His Majesty will be eligible for the approval of the Heavenly Demon Sect. ”

"As for how Your Majesty will choose, father, you already have the answer in your heart. Yuwen Suyan stared at her father and said calmly.

Prime Minister Yuwen shook his head and sighed lightly:

"If it was the first emperor, I could naturally guess his choice, the first emperor acted, and the first consideration was not gains, but losses.

Soldiers are the foundation of the empire, and now the Han Empire is eyeing our Daluo, if the foundation of the empire is shaken at this moment, it is likely to be taken advantage of by the Han Empire, and there is even a danger of destroying the country.

As for the right to speak in the cultivation world, to be honest, the first emperor was also extremely eager for it, so much so that the first emperor never forgot this matter when he drove to the west. But this right to speak is the icing on the cake, which is extremely beneficial to the royal family, but even if it is not, the empire has no loss, so if this matter is chosen by the first emperor, it will inevitably be on Qin Yu's side. But how His Majesty Luo Ling will choose now, my father really can't guess. ”

Yuwen Suyan nodded in agreement, and then walked to the pot of cold plums that the prime minister had pruned earlier, frowned and showed a dissatisfied look, and complained in a low voice: "It's really ugly." Then he picked up a small sharp knife beside him, and began to carve on the bare branch of the cold plum, while whispering slowly:

"Since Babel dared to kill the prince directly, provoke disputes before the birth of the imperial fortune dragon qi, and still choose this kind of undying situation, I think these old foxes, even if they are not 100% sure, must have some important objects or information, and these things will definitely make Your Majesty have a high probability that they will be on their side. ”

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Yuwen looked at his little girl with appreciative eyes, and looked pleased, these old guys of the old forces of the Shang Dynasty have always acted before acting, and there is no perfect strategy, it is impossible to provoke this kind of life-and-death situation. Prime Minister Yuwen couldn't help but worry about Qin Yu.

"Father, who do you think this fake Qin Feng will be?" Yuwen Suyan's carving skills are extremely exquisite, less than half a cup of tea, this originally lifeless cold plum branch, was carved out of several lines of small seal characters, because the font is too small, Yuwen Prime Minister can't see this tangential, but the largest four words, but can be seen clearly.

Laugh proudly!

Yes, it is the four words of Xiaoao Jianghu.

And the question raised by Yuwen Suyan at this moment is very important.

"This is also what I want to know, this fake Qin Feng should not be the arrangement of the Tower of Babel, because there is no need for that. Prime Minister Yuwen first expressed his doubts:

Yuwen Suyan pondered for a moment and guessed, "Maybe the Tower of Babel wants to confuse the Great Prince through this fake Qin Feng, so as to delay time to complete their follow-up plan?"

"If you want to delay time, you can kill the prince later, why kill him early, and find a fake one to use the trick. Moreover, this fake Qin Feng is afraid that he has already been discovered by the eldest prince, isn't this a surprise to the snake? The person who laid out the Babel Tower would not be so stupid. Prime Minister Yuwen shook his head and retorted.

Yuwen Suyan frowned and said puzzledly: "Then this fake Qin Feng, will it be someone from that force?"

At this time, I saw Prime Minister Yuwen walking to the window and looking north, Yuwen Suyan's expression changed suddenly, and she said in astonishment: "Father, you mean, he is His Majesty's person? ”

"Your Majesty likes music and rhythm, this fake Qin Feng, but his attainments in music and rhythm, are amazing, although this can't explain anything, but the old man always feels that there may be something related to this. Prime Minister Yuwen said cautiously.

Yuwen Suyan's face was stunned, and she was puzzled: "That's ...... Your Majesty is ...... What is the intent?"

Prime Minister Yuwen let out a long sigh and whispered, "Your Majesty today, no one can understand it. ”
