On the way home, Jing Shaoling asked his father Jing Wushuang: "Dad, the Qu family has always been good friends with my Jing family, and my sister-in-law is even more of Qu's person, why do you put the responsibility on Qu Xuan today?"

Jing Wushuang glanced at Jing Shaoling, showed a mysterious smile, and said, "I knew you were going to ask." ”

Jing Shaoling didn't speak, but looked at Jing Wushuang, full of curiosity.

Jing Wushuang said: "There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in politics, only eternal interests. ”

"Although Qu is good friends with my Jing family, in this case, only by preserving himself first can he negotiate interests with others. If my father falls, I'm afraid the Qu family won't look at my Wuyang Houfu more, do you understand?"

Jing Wushuang said in a deep voice, looking at Jing Shaoling.

"In the end, it's just the law of the jungle!"

Jing Shaoling sighed.

"That's right, it's the jungle. That's how it is in the court, one moment it is still an ally, and the next moment it may be an enemy, so don't believe in the so-called 'allies', you are the most reliable!"

Jing Wushuang said approvingly.

"What's more..... Emperor Chu is suspicious, although my Jing clan has a good relationship with the Qu family, but I can't behave like this in the court, otherwise it will make the Chu Emperor jealous, this is the emperor's mental technique!"

"In this way, didn't Qu Xuan deliberately show such an angry attitude?"

Jing Shaoling couldn't help but say.

This kind of political wisdom is really impossible to understand for a while with his experience.

"It's not entirety, Cui Jiajun was assassinated, this matter has a lot to do with it, who dares to take this basket, this is slapping the face of Emperor Chu and even the face of the entire royal family, I blame it on Qu Xuan, not entirely because he is acting for Emperor Chu, but this basket can't be taken by his father, and it is natural for Qu Xuan to be angry. ”

Jing Wushuang explained slowly.

"Politics is really scary!"

Jing Shaoling finally figured it out, and was a little embarrassed, the battle in the court was to kill people without seeing blood. The Forbidden Army Captain became a victim in the blink of an eye, which can be described as bloody.

"Do you think it's terrible to be a father, let me tell you Ling'er, this is the price you need to pay for being in a high position!"

Jing Wushuang looked out the window of the carriage with a stern expression and said coldly.

"The price!"

Jing Shaoling sighed, this is a world where the weak eat the strong, getting it means paying, and the price is also natural, just like the competition for treasures between monks, it is all for profit, there is no right or wrong.

From your own point of view, there is nothing wrong with what you do, and it may seem bloody to others.

But that's how the world is, human nature is cunning, you can be kind, you are ready to be someone else's ration........ there is no right or wrong, only winners and losers, this is politics!

But Jing Shaoling felt very fortunate that his home was full of harmony and warmth, and his father was not a politician of Chiguoguo, he was his father, the father of the eldest brother, and the father of Qingmei.

"I don't know why the Cui family was assassinated, what do you think about this matter?"

Jing Shaoling asked.

Jing Wushuang shook his head and said: "I am also very puzzled about this matter, the marriage between the Cui family and the third princess was personally promoted by Emperor Chu, and no one will disobey him at this juncture, this is the way to die." What's more, this matter is related to the wedding of Cui Yingying and the prince, and there is the ancestor of the Xiong family behind him, which is acquiesced by Long Heshan, even if it is to suppress the three major families such as us, but it will not be hindered at this time, otherwise once it is found out, Long Heshan will destroy him. ”

"Could it be that he is really a spy of the Qin State?"

Jing Shaoling guessed.

"It's hard to say!"

Jing Wushuang pondered and said: "But Qu Xuan's Iron Eagle is not a vegetarian, he will not joke about this kind of thing, even if there are some fish that slip through the net, he will not do assassination, after all, assassinating Cui Jiaxuan is not beneficial to the Qin State." If it was the assassination of me or the core figures of the Zhao family and the Qu family, it would have been said in the past, all in all..... I couldn't figure it out for a while. ”

Jing Shaoling was silent for a moment, it seemed that there was another hidden story in this, and even his father couldn't guess it.

..............................

Back at home, at this time, the entire Wuyang Houfu was in a mess, Jing Shaoling's mother was crying in the front hall, the eldest brother and sister-in-law were also anxious at this time, Bai Yuwei and all the maids and subordinates were gone.

A man in a black official uniform walked back and forth in the hall, revealing a burning look.

"What's wrong, why is it like this......... Guan Daren is also there!

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw this atmosphere, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and when he saw Yingdu Mansion Yin, he couldn't help but show surprise, and immediately walked forward quickly and asked.

Jing Shaoling's heart sank at this time, and he felt that something bad had happened.

When Lord Guan saw Jing Wushuang appear, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See Master Hou." ”

"Master Guan doesn't need to be polite, you came to my Hou Mansion this time, but what happened?"

Jing Wushuang waved his hand and asked hurriedly.

"Dad, it's Qingmei who is gone!"

Jing Shaoyang stepped forward and hurriedly said.

"What, Qingmei is gone!"

Jing Shaoling was suddenly shocked.

Jing Wushuang also looked surprised, and hurriedly said: "When did it happen, Shaoling and I went to Biqing Palace in the morning and saw her girl, why did she disappear after a while?"

Jing Shaoyang said with a bitter face: "It's all to blame for this girl, she was hungry to eat rock sugar gourd early in the morning, Qingmei said to buy it for her, but she didn't come back until now after going out, we have asked Uncle Fang to take Bai Yuwei to look for it, and also asked Master Guan to send officials to search, but there has been no news now." ”

Jing Wushuang's face suddenly turned pale.

Master Guan said ashamedly at this time: "Xiaguan has sent all the officials to search the city, but now that Cui Juma has been assassinated, the forbidden army has blocked the whole city, and it is difficult to get news for a while." ”

"I don't blame Lord Guan for this, I'm tired, please go back and rest, and report the news as soon as possible. ”

Jing Wushuang said to Lord Guan.

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Guan Daren retreated with a sigh of relief.

"Qingmei, this child has not returned now, I'm afraid something is not good, Shaoling, you are a strong cultivator or go out in person, now Cui's concubine has been stabbed, the assassin has escaped, Qingmei may be in danger, you must bring her back." If...... If anything happens, you're going to kill everyone involved in it!"

Jing Wushuang said with murderous intent.

Jing Shaoling nodded with a heavy look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go out!"

He swore in his heart that whoever dared to let Qingmei encounter an accident, he would definitely make the other party regret coming to this world, even if it was the king of heaven!

As soon as Jing Shaoling walked out of the Hou Mansion, he saw a group of people walking towards the Wuyang Hou Mansion, about dozens of people, and finally stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion, ready to enter.

"Jing Shaoling is you, just right, I'm looking for you!"

A sharp voice sounded, and Jing Shaoling fixed his eyes to see that it was Cui Yingying.

She was dressed in a white coat, and her expression was full of anger, and she seemed to be extremely annoyed. She was followed by three Qi Condensing Cultivators, who were also Jing Shaoling's acquaintances, Qin Yun, Xiao Kai, and Liu Feng who had threatened him at the foot of Longhe Mountain that day.

Seeing that it was them, Jing Shaoling was in an extremely bad mood at this time, thinking that Cui Yingying had come to force him to withdraw from the marriage contract, and suddenly his face turned cold and said: "Cui Yingying, what are you doing in my Wuyang Mansion, you are not welcome here, I still have something to do, get out of the way!"

Cui Yingying suddenly said angrily: "Jing Shaoling, you hand over people, you despicable and shameless villain, you actually dare to assassinate my younger brother, my brother is still unconscious, if something happens, I will not let go of the people of your entire Hou Mansion!"

Jing Shaoling's face suddenly turned extremely cold, and he said coldly: "You are threatening me again?"

"What's wrong with threatening you, stinky boy, do you remember me?"

Qin Yun stood up and said arrogantly.
