After sending someone to send Gong Yan out of the palace, Zheng Yong paced back and forth alone in this side hall with his hands behind his back, and he didn't know what thoughts were turning in his mind, and he let out irrepressible smug laughter from time to time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a while, he seemed to finally remember the emperor who was still resting, so he left the side hall and wanted to rush back to the Xuande Palace.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that his moth Yizi Zhao Zhan was hurriedly walking towards this side, so he beckoned to him, and then retreated to the side hall.

"Father-in-law, I saw Gong Yan in front of the palace gate just now, he is a northerner, and he is also wanted by the people of the Loyal and Righteous League, this person will definitely not be kept!"

Zhao Zhan strode into the hall, but he didn't even see a salute, so he said a lot of words.

Zheng Yong smiled without mind, and asked slowly, "Then why didn't you stop him?"

"I—"

Zhao Zhan saw that Zheng Yong didn't seem to pay attention to what he said, and couldn't help but stomp his foot angrily, "I recognized that the person walking beside Gong Yan was your secret agent, and I guessed that it must have been arranged by you, so I didn't say anything." But father-in-law, this person really can't be kept! The northerners are all wolf ambitions, and they have been plotting for me for a long time, and we must not have anything to do with them, otherwise we will not become traitors?"

Seeing Zhao Zhan's temper, Zheng Yong not only was not annoyed, but looked like it tightly, and whispered to comfort him: "Zhan'er, don't worry, my father-in-law knows this matter in his heart, and he won't make any trouble." ”

Zhao Zhan just snorted, walked to the side, sat down in the chair, and sulked alone.

At this time, Zheng Yongye had already seen that his baby godson was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhan'er is restless, but what trouble has she encountered? ”

Zhao Zhan has always relied on this father-in-law, in fact, the purpose of his coming here today is to find his father-in-law to support him. Hearing Zheng Yong's question at this moment, he immediately told all the grievances he had suffered from Song Qingfeng and Han Bing like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

After Zheng Yong listened, he didn't speak for a long time, just hunched his waist, which never seemed to be straightened, and began to pace back and forth again.

Zhao Zhan finished talking about the grievances he had suffered, and his previous resentment gradually calmed down. At this moment, seeing his father-in-law grinding there without saying a word, not only did he not rush to ask, but got up and stepped forward, helped him to sit down in the chair.

Zheng Yong patted Zhao Zhan's hand lovingly, and said with a smile: "Good boy, my father-in-law knows that you have been wronged, and he will definitely help you get it back one by one! Come, you also sit down and listen to your father-in-law carefully tell you what to do." ”

When Zhao Zhan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, pulled a chair from the side, and sat opposite Zheng Yong.

"Just now, my father-in-law and I received a good news - the abbot of Jishi Temple Huijue has passed away. Zheng Yong said to him with a smile.

Zhao Zhan couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at his father-in-law with a puzzled face, he really couldn't think of what was good about this news. And most importantly, what does it have to do with what you have been wronged about?

Zheng Yong naturally saw his confusion, first smiled proudly, and then continued to explain: "I once heard the emperor inadvertently mention that Jishi Temple actually has the ability to shake the society of Dayu Jiangshan. This reminds me of a rumor I heard many years ago, when Emperor Taizu was the national teacher, Yin Wuya, who had built a pillar to protect the country in order to stabilize the Dayu country.

And this Yin Master was later a monk in Jishi Temple, and now the abbot of Jishi Temple, Hui Jue, and the first Hui Nian of the four great monks, are all personal disciples of Yin Guo Shi. Therefore, according to my speculation, it is very likely that the Protector Pillar was built in Jishi Temple, and Huijue and Huinian are the people responsible for guarding the Protector Pillar. ”

Zhao Zhan heard some ways from it, "As soon as the abbot Huijue died, only Huinian was left to protect the Divine Pillar, could it be, what was wrong with this?"

Since I guessed that Jishi Temple was related to the Protector Pillar, I deliberately sent someone to investigate. As a result, I found out that there was still an 'underworld' in Jishi Temple, which was built by a certain emperor of the previous dynasty.

I think that Yin Wuya must have built the Protector Pillar in that mysterious underworld, so except for Huijue and Huinian, the other monks in the temple were at a loss about it.

The people I sent also found out that the 'Qiankun Key' is required to open the underworld, which is actually the combination of two keys to open the door of the underworld. And those two keys must be in the hands of Huijue and Huinian respectively.

Now that Huijue is dead, the key in his hand will naturally be handed over to his heirs. And that heir is Han Bing!"

"Cold ice?!" Zhao Zhan couldn't help but be taken aback, "How did you know, father-in-law?"

The abbot passed away, and Hui Nian was in charge of the temple affairs, and he couldn't get out of his body for a while, so he sent his disciple Zhitong to report to the emperor. And this Zhitong is actually a secret agent I planted in Jishiji Temple many years ago. At that time, the purpose of sending him was to spy on Prince Ding, Haoxing Xiaoyu, who was imprisoned in the temple. Soon after Prince Ding fled, I heard the secret of Jishiji Temple from the emperor, so I asked Zhitong to stay in the temple to investigate the matter.

This time, Hui Nian wrote down the key in a secret letter and asked Zhitong to present it to the emperor. I have opened and read the secret letter, and it is indeed written on it that Han Bing is the successor of Huijue, that is, the person who now holds the key to the 'Qiankun Key'. ”

Zhao Zhan said with some disbelief: "But this matter sounds really strange. That Han Bing was just a young man who had not yet reached the weak crown, and he had just come to Beijing, how could he have met the abbot of Jishi Temple, Huijue, and was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility?"

"The origin of this cold ice has become a mystery, and its skills are extraordinary, and it may have some relationship with Jishi Temple. Regardless of the truth of this matter, Huinian's secret letter is absolutely true. As long as it is reported to the emperor, the cold ice will immediately become a piece of the emperor's heart.

Since that pillar of protecting the country is related to the society of the country, how could the emperor allow it to be handed over to others? Only by holding all the keys in his own hands can he be completely relieved.

Presumably, this is the real reason why the emperor wanted to use the Endless Pill to get rid of Hui Nian in the first place. Now he would never allow that cold ice to continue to live in the world. Then we can start implementing that plan. ”

As soon as he heard Zheng Yong mention that plan, Zhao Zhan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his face showed irrepressible excitement.

"You've got in touch with King Ji?"

"Not bad. King Ji wants us to get rid of the ice first. However, that kid is so slippery and clever that his martial arts are unmatched, and it is not easy to get rid of him secretly! But if we get the emperor's tacit approval, we can kill him openly!"

"You're saying I'll do it?"

"At the moment, it seems that only you can compete with the ice. And if I make some arrangements in secret, it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of him in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Zhan's mood suddenly became even higher, and he said with gusting hands: "Great! I have long wanted to teach that little bastard a hard lesson! It's just that because of their respective identities, they are afraid that they will be blamed by the emperor for making trouble, so they have endured him until today!"

Hmph, that kid's kung fu is just being blown awesomely, and it may not be really that high. In fact, there is no need for you to bother with this matter, father-in-law, just me alone is enough to kill him!"

Zheng Yong looked at Zhao Zhan's face with a smile full of confidence, and liked it in his heart, but on the surface, he shook his head and said: "Zhan'er, don't be impatient! But it's not just about killing him, we're going to make it a perfect start to our whole ambition. ”

Zhao Zhan saw that his father-in-law seemed to be confident, but he deliberately put on the appearance of an old god, so he couldn't help but become anxious, and asked: "Father-in-law, don't sell Guanzi! Tell me quickly, how to kill that kid from Han Bing?"

"Open challenge, life and death. Let him die at your hands, but also convince the world that he did not really die at your hands. This murderous charge must be borne by others. ”

"Who's going to carry it?"

Zheng Yong smiled silently.

Zhao Zhan finally felt itchy and couldn't scratch it, and begged with some annoyance: "Father-in-law, tell me all the plans in your heart at once!"

Zheng Yong was not moved by his plea in the slightest, and only said with a smile: "For this action to remove the ice, King Ji specially sent someone to help us. You don't have to worry about these things, I'll arrange for someone from the Loyal Alliance to contact that person. And all you have to do now is to lure the ice into the hub. Fortunately, now that the stage is set up, you just need to play your play well. ”

Zhao Zhan heard his father-in-law say this, knowing that he would not tell him anything more. Although he was a little disappointed, he was a person who didn't like to worry about it, anyway, in the end, he killed the cold ice kid with his own hands, so that he could get rid of the evil breath in his heart, and that was enough.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, there is no need to act in this drama at all, the cold ice kid will send it to the door himself. It's just that after cleaning him up, you have to help me take care of Song Qingfeng, who is against me everywhere!"

Zheng Yong patted him on the shoulder, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Don't worry, let's take it one step at a time." In the end, those who stand in our way will disappear one by one. ”

Zhao Zhan got up and left satisfied.

After sending Zhao Zhan away, Zheng Yong began to rush to the Xuande Hall where the emperor was located.

As he walked, he was still secretly wondering-

When the emperor read the secret letter sent by Zhitong and knew that Han Bing had the key, he would be extremely angry in his heart, and he was eager to get rid of it quickly.

However, even if he is the emperor, he may not be able to really get that cunning ice. When the time comes, how can he make the emperor think of using Zhao Zhan to kill Han Bing without showing a trace?

And that pillar of protecting the country, is it really that magical? Why does the emperor seem to be a little afraid of it? What secrets are there in the underworld? Maybe, I should find a way to get those two Qiankun keys......
