Shui Ruyue was very curious, and asked with a smile: "Little junior brother, I have always heard you say that once Yang Jingzhong falls, the emperor will face a greater predicament. But Yang Jingzhong has been in power for so long, wouldn't it be better if the emperor took this opportunity to clean him up and take power himself?"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head, his face was heavy, "The problem is that even if the emperor directly overthrows Yang Jingzhong and comes to power himself, he has the emperor's throne but no prestige! Those princes who are stationed in various places and have military power in their hands are not convinced, what if they rebel against him collectively? What if the local generals who lead troops fail to quell the rebellion, or simply defect? What do you think Yin Guang, who could only play by Zhun Qing a while ago, can deal with it?"

Tang Jiusheng sighed, "Our first emperor left a mess, and only Yang Jing's loyalty and ruthlessness can suppress those vassal kings, so that they don't dare to rebel in a short time." Do you think, even the queen and queen have been hanged, King Kang and King Yue have been imprisoned and deposed, the forbidden army and the border army of Longting and other provinces are also in his hands, and Dongwei is also in his hands, who else can compete with this old eunuch? Do you think Yin Guang can have the strength of an old eunuch now?"

Shui Ruyue lowered her head and thought for a while, and then asked: "Little senior brother, Yang Jingzhong has so much power, what if he really deposes the emperor and establishes himself as the emperor?"

Tang Jiusheng laughed, "The old eunuch is not so stupid, has there been a eunuch who has been the emperor since ancient times? If he dares to depose the emperor and establish himself as emperor, it is a question of whether he can survive until next month. At that time, it was not only the surname Yin who was not convinced, I am afraid that no one in the entire Dashang would obey him, and his godsons probably wanted to kill him for a higher official position, so I persuaded Yin Guang to endure it again. ”

Ximen Yushuang laughed and said: "Xianggong, you are really the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry! You persuade him to endure it a little longer, but he is in a hurry to do it, and he will inevitably be angry with you." Aren't you a human being inside and out?"

Tang Jiusheng stood up and paced a few steps around the room before he said, "Although the emperor is very unhappy with my words, he also understands that what I said is loyalty. Although it is a bit of a reversal. I'm not saying that Yang Jingzhong can't be moved, but I'm just saying that now is not the right time, and things will be done if things are slow! At this time, there is a suspicion of being in a hurry, just like playing chess, and if you don't do it well, it will affect the overall situation. In the end, the Emperor agreed to my proposal. ”

A few people were talking, Xiao Er came to knock on the door, it turned out that dinner was ready, Tang Jiusheng went out and called the fat man and others to eat in the dining room, more than a dozen people and two tables of food were enough. Before eating, Xin Zhiping had already quietly tried the poison with his homemade poison test powder, after all, this trip, he was stared at by countless pairs of eyes, even if the store was reliable, it was difficult to guarantee that the Blood Shadow Hall of Luoyu Pavilion, Wanshou Ju and even Pingxi Wangfu would secretly come to poison.

After eating in the dining room of the inn, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. The fat man and Tang Jiusheng still live in the same room with the crazy eagle, and Zhu Congwu has not left the fat man since he was promoted to a hammer general, so he is naturally there

in a room. The fat man and Zhu Congwu were tired all day and slept soundly in bed. Tang Jiusheng lit a lamp, was reading a book of swordsmanship, and suddenly heard someone floating on the room to the ground, listening to the sound was not malicious, Tang Jiusheng didn't say anything.

Then this person pushed open the window and jumped in, only to see that this person was over twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic and abnormal, black Tang scarf cyan dark clothes, and a sword with a black shark skin sheath on his back, it was Ling Jianfei of the Eastern Internal Guard. A few days ago, he had given Tang Jiusheng Dongwei's waist card and fish talisman, Tang Jiusheng stood up and smiled at Ling Jianfei and said, "It turned out to be Brother Ling, I haven't seen you for many days, why do you want to visit at night?"

Ling Jianfei, who was dressed in deep clothes and carrying a sword on his back, hugged his fists and smiled, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I am here to deliver a letter to my son." After speaking, he walked forward slowly, came to Tang Jiusheng, and held a letter to Tang Jiusheng with both hands. Tang Jiusheng was a little puzzled, took the envelope from Ling Jianfei's hand, opened it and hurriedly read it, nodding as he looked at it.

Tang Jiusheng finished reading the letter and smiled slightly, "Thank you Brother Ling, I already know it below, please reply to the chief manager, saying that I, Tang, will do my best! A gentleman is hard to chase after him, since I promised him at the beginning, there is no reason not to do my best!" Ling Jianfei bowed to Tang Jiusheng, turned around and jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Not long after Ling Jian flew away, Tang Jiusheng, who was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and practicing the Heavenly Mystery Technique, heard the slight footsteps on the roof, but when he reached the roof of the guest room where Tang Jiusheng lived, he did not stop, and only stopped when he came to the roof of the Xin Zhiping house next door. Tang Jiusheng quietly held the Minglong Knife in his hand and listened attentively. The man in the room seemed to be very patient, and he didn't move at all when he squatted for two teas.

Tang Jiusheng was puzzled, and suddenly heard Xin Zhiping ask in a strange way in the house: "Boy, you have been squatting on the roof for a long time, are your legs numb?" The people on the roof were still silent, and then they heard Xin Zhiping jump out of the window and scold.

Tang Jiusheng was afraid that Xin Zhiping would suffer a loss, so he gently kicked the fat man with his foot, and said in a low voice: "Fat man, don't sleep, there is a thief coming! Go out and help Brother Xin!" With Tang Jiusheng's protection, the fat man was sleeping boldly on the bed, but he was suddenly kicked awake by Tang Jiusheng, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What kind of thief is your uncle, you dare to disturb your fat man's sleep, believe it or not, the fat man threw you into the pot and cooked you!"

Tang Jiusheng couldn't cry or laugh, he originally wanted the fat man to be quieter, leave the fat man in the house, and go out quietly, but as soon as the goods shouted, they must have heard it outside the window. Tang Jiu kicked the fat man angrily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, okay, anyway, I heard it outside, fat man, you hurry up and go out to help Brother Xin, I will stay in the house and guard, in case those voices are trying to rob the wild eagle!"

The fat man copied the double hammer leaning against the window in his hand, and shouted, "The thief is leaving, the fat man is here!" kicked the window and ran out with a snort. I saw that under the moonlight, Xin Zhiping was chasing a black shadow and running in a hurry. The fat man is afraid of Xinzhi

Ping suffered a loss and chased after him quickly with a hammer. At this time, there was Yulong Xingkong in the Xinzhi Bungalow guarding Tieton and He Chunju, so he was not afraid of any killers coming.

Xin Zhiping and the fat man chased after him, and the black shadow fled without looking back. When the fat man and Xin Zhiping chased out two teas, they had already left the county and arrived in the countryside on the edge of the city, but they still hadn't caught up.

The black shadow jumped onto a private house on the side of the road, turned around suddenly, and shot two darts in his hand, Xin Zhiping dodged, but the fat man smashed the darts away with a hammer. The black shadow laughed loudly and said, "Stop chasing, you have been tricked! ”

When Xin Zhiping and the fat man heard the black shadow say this, they were immediately shocked, and quickly turned around and rushed back to the inn.

The fat man asked as he ran, "Lao Xin, this guy's light skills are really good, and we only chased after the front foot, could it be that he deliberately lured us out with a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, and then attacked the inn and rescued the wild eagle?"

Xin Zhiping shook his head, and said while sweeping in the direction of the inn: "You will only know when you go back and see, who knows what the goal of this group of people is?"

The two of them talked, but they didn't stop, and ran back to the inn again, and came to the guest room where Tang Jiusheng lived first, only to see Tang Jiusheng sitting in the middle of the house, with his arms in front of his chest, holding a knife in his arms, guarding the wild eagle with a serious face, Zhu Congwu was like a great enemy, standing beside Tang Jiusheng with a knife.

It seems that this group of people is not here to rob the crazy eagle, so the fat man and Xin Zhiping's hearts are relaxed. Tang Jiusheng was also relieved to see that the two of them came back safely, and when he saw the expressions of the two, he knew that he must not have caught up, and asked with a smile: "Didn't catch up?" Forget it, just keep the wild eagle." Someone next door came to harass me just now, but fortunately, he was repelled by Yulong Xingkong and Yue'er. ”

Xin Zhiping's heart moved, and he hurriedly returned to his room, only to see Yulong Xingkong, Tie Dun, and He Chunju all there, and hurriedly bent down and touched the bed, and his heart was half cold at that time, and the blank of the original red flame spirit stone was gone. Xin Zhiping asked in surprise, "Brother Yulong, what happened just now?"

Yulong Xingkong looked inexplicable, "Just now there were two more people in black to harass, I was afraid that I came to assassinate Lord He and Tieton, so I jumped out to fight, Lord He was frightened and got under the bed, Tieton and I went out of the house, and the little senior sister came to help me, but those two people turned around and fled after fighting us for less than three rounds." I was afraid that Master He would lose, so I hurried back to the house. ”

Xin Zhiping looked sad and indignant, and stumbled and said: "We have been tricked, the Red Flame Spirit Stone was secretly hidden under the bed by me, and now it is gone." It turned out that this group of people had been eyeing this stone for a long time, so they came to harass us one after another, just to trick us into leaving this room. Even if we don't go out, they will come back to seduce us. Alas, if I had known this, I would have stayed in the house and not went out!"
