When Han Bing's handsome face with a smile appeared in front of Gu Ning, the king of killers actually had a little affection for this sinister and cunning boy for the first time.

Regardless of whether he had been calculated by this bad boy in the past, at least this time, Han Bing really saved the life of his ancient deputy alliance leader.

During a secret conversation outside Jishi Temple the night before, Han Bing not only woke up Gu Ning who was in the trap, but also finally gave him an idea, teaching him how to deal with Xue Youyou's reproach afterwards and the blame of His Majesty the Emperor.

Han Bing's words are very straightforward and very lethal-

To deal with the snow and seclusion, just use the word "consumption".

Since the Lord of the Snow Alliance regards you as a subordinate who can be driven at will, she strictly orders you to stay outside the Jishi Temple. Then, your Gu deputy alliance leader will be an obedient and good subordinate, and you will not leave Jishi Temple for a single step.

As long as the enemy does not appear and the ambush mission is not completed, you will not retreat here. It will be consumed until her Snow Alliance Master loses patience and sends someone to ask you to go back.

To deal with the emperor, the word "keep" must be used.

Since he regarded you as a ready-made executioner and scapegoat, he ordered you to ambush and kill the parting arrow that came to assassinate Master Hui Nian, but he strictly ordered you not to disturb the monks in Jishi Temple.

Then, you Gu Ning obediently didn't step into Jishi Temple.

As long as you can't see the parting arrow, you stay here and don't move. Let the bodies of those Ouchi guards rot in Jishi Temple, and it's none of your business.

These two treat you like a brainless fool who can fool them at will. Then you act even more stupid than they thought and see who fooled whom in the end!

As it turned out, this idea of Han Bing was indeed good.

At least, it was already in the snow and had the desired effect.

The Snow Alliance Lord waited all night, but he didn't see Gu Ning's people go back, so he immediately sent someone to check the situation.

Gu Ning reported everything that happened during the night according to the truth-

One is that there is no interception of the parting arrow or any suspicious person.

The second is to see Han Bing coming out of Jishi Temple, and listen to him spread the news that Jishi Temple has been broken into by a large number of masters. Although this news is unconfirmed, the monks in the temple are indeed safe and sound.

In the end, Gu Ning expressed to the Lord of the Snow Alliance the idea of continuing to wait in ambush outside the temple.

After receiving this report from him, Xue Youyou did not object, and also sent people to send supplies such as dry food and water, indicating that it was a full affirmation of Gu Ning's loyal behavior.

Gu Ning was still a little worried that the emperor would not have a good time, but when he saw Song Qingfeng leading a large number of forbidden troops to appear outside the temple, his heart was completely relaxed.

Because Han Bing had told Gu Ning before leaving, he would say that he would use the pressure of Lord Zuo Xiang to expand the situation, so that the emperor had to give up this operation, and he would never mention the rumor that the so-called parting arrow was going to stab the abbot of Huinian again.

The appearance of the forbidden army shows that Han Bing has initially fulfilled his promise.

And now, Han Bing has taken the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion again, and even Zhu Mo, the commander of the Ouchi guards who rarely shows his head, appeared here.

These are enough to prove that this matter has been made so big that it can't be bigger!

The gathering of people from all walks of life in the imperial court is just the right time for the Loyal Alliance to take the opportunity to withdraw from this chaos.

"The Ice Boy and all the adults came together, presumably to investigate the attack on Jishi Temple the night before?"

There was a rare hint of a smile on Gu Ning's gloomy and cold face, and the tone of his voice was also gentle and peaceful, without showing any chagrin for squatting here for two whole nights in vain.

Han Bing nodded at him with a grin: "That's right! The Deputy Alliance Master of the Lao Gu has been squatting outside the temple for two nights in a row, which is really hard!

However, it is thanks to the dedicated protection of you and the brothers of the Loyal Alliance that this Jishi Temple can be regarded as impregnable.

Naturally, the bodies of those assassins should be kept intact, and they must not be stolen by some ill-intentioned individuals. ”

Listening to the ears of those who don't know the inside story, there will inevitably be a misunderstanding, as if the Loyal Alliance is squatting here at his behest.

Although Gu Ning also heard the strangeness in Han Bing's words, he was thinking about getting out of it quickly, where did he have the leisure to care about what the hell this kid who likes to cause trouble plans to do.

So he responded perfunctorily in his mouth: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Since you have something to do, I won't delay your time much, please!"

As he spoke, he motioned for the Loyal Alliance to get out of the way and let them pass.

Who knew that his performance fell in the eyes of Zhu Mo, who was already full of doubts, and there was another interpretation-

It turns out that the father and son of the left prime minister and the Zhongyi League have colluded together!

In fact, when you think about it, there is nothing surprising about it.

As the eagle dog of the imperial court, it is impossible for the Loyal and Righteous League to completely stay out of the court.

Back then, the first alliance leader Xue Pinghao became a hero of Conglong because of his efforts to ensure his accession to the throne today, so that the Loyal and Righteous League took advantage of the momentum of the imperial court to become the number one gang in the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop.

When Zuo Yusong was in power, he strictly obeyed the emperor's edict, and secretly bowed to Zheng Yong, the chief of the inner house.

Now that Zuo Yusong is dead, the power of the Loyalty Alliance has completely fallen into the hands of Xue Youyou.

And Xue Youyou's position is even more self-evident.

On that day, at the scene of the martial arts, the Xiuyun Sword Sect openly came forward to defend the cold ice, which should not be accidental, but had a tacit understanding.

Otherwise, with the scheming of Zuo Xiang's father and son, how could he let Zheng Yong lay a trap without any counterattack to defeat the enemy?

It seems that Chu Wenxuan and the others who appeared at the scene of Wubi that day, as well as the people from the Xiuyun Sword Sect, were all backward moves that Zuo Xiang's father and son had already laid out.

Now the situation is obvious - the father and son of the left prime minister have joined forces with the Zhongyi League and belong to the camp of the crown prince.

So what about Zheng Yong, what is he stirring up the wind and rain in it?

If it is said that it is due to the emperor's instructions, he does not want to see the prince sit down too early, so he intends to suppress the father and son of the left minister, it is indeed possible.

However, if the emperor really wants to suppress the left minister, there are many ways, and there is no need to use those subordinate tactics such as framing and framing.

Just like yesterday, he gave Zuo Xiangan a charge of harboring the hermits. As a result, after a trial, something went wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, this matter should have been a conspiracy planned by Zheng Yong from the beginning.

In order to take revenge on the father and son of the left prime minister, the chief of Ouchi can be said to have exhausted all means.

First, he sent Ouchi guards to ambush and kill Han Bing in Jishi Temple. After the defeat, I don't know what kind of rhetoric this old eunuch used to deceive the emperor, not only did he not investigate the matter of his private use of the Ouchi guards, but also tried to help him cover up the matter.

Next, Zheng Yong sacrificed the trick of the hermit people, which was enough to touch the emperor's scales. With a vague old painting that I got out of nowhere, I have to frame Han Bing as a hermit, and Zuo Xiang is the culprit who shields the hermit.

The most taboo thing in the emperor's life is the hermit, and naturally he will not let go of any evidence related to the hermit, especially the one who is involved in it, the left minister who holds the military and political power.

As a result, Zheng Yong successfully took advantage of the emperor's suspicion and jealousy, coaxed the emperor to be his accomplice, and poisoned Zuo Xiang's father and son.

If the emperor hadn't let him, the commander of the guards, stay in the Cuihan Pavilion at that time, the Zuo Prime Minister would have been afraid that he would really have a hard time arguing, and he would not be able to confirm that the woman in the painting was not his former wife Lin Fangyin, and Han Bing had little resemblance to the woman in the painting.

There is also the pot of poisonous wine mixed with the poison of the heavens.

When preparing the pot of poisonous wine, Zhu Mo obviously only put double the usual amount of medicine in the wine. However, in the wine drunk by the Prime Minister, it was at least three or even four times the amount of medicine.

Before leaving the palace, this pot of wine only passed through his and Zheng Yong's hands.

It must be that Zheng Yong is afraid of poisoning and not dying of cold ice, or he also wants to poison Zuo Xiang at the same time, so he secretly did something in the wine.

The poison of the natural poison is peculiar, and it is comparable to many poisons, so Zheng Yong cannot put other more deadly poisons in the wine, but can only increase the amount of the poison of the natural poison.

As for where he got the Heavenly Poison Annihilation, Zhu Mo didn't need to bother to guess. Since the deputy commander has been used by this old eunuch in his later years, it should not be difficult to get this poison for him.

It is an indisputable fact that Zheng Yong wanted to kill Zuo Xiang's father and son. But the question is, why did he come up with this idea?

Zhao Zhan's death at the hands of cold ice was indeed the biggest reason for him to take revenge on Zuo Xiang's father and son.

But what about before Zhao Zhan died?

Zheng Yong and Zhao Zhan set a trap in Yuanfang Pavilion, making it clear that they wanted to harm Han Bing.

The reason for this is never as simple as competing for a woman!

Behind all this, I am afraid there is still a struggle for power.

Zheng Yong is probably not as loyal to the emperor as he appears.

He—he must be planning something behind the emperor's back.

So behind him, will it be King Ji?

If this matter involves King Ji, it will inevitably be inseparable from party struggle.

Thinking of the word "party struggle", Zhu Mo's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of extreme disgust!

The Zhu family has been loyal to protect the safety of the royal family for generations, and they have done their best, and they have never complained.

However, the various open and secret battles for the throne like this are what he hates the most.

In the rebellion of King Huai that year, his uncle broke through in order to protect Empress Yan and lost his right arm to make a sword. What's even more distressing is that the uncle's only two sons were also killed in that palace mutiny.

Now, it seems that this senseless bloodshed and sacrifice will continue.

Your Majesty, can you really bear to let your own flesh and blood continue to kill each other endlessly like this?

When Emperor Taizu established Dayu, was it just to let his children and grandchildren fight for me, and finally completely bury the great country?

With this kind of contradiction and trouble, Zhu Mo was a little distracted and followed them to the gate of Jishi Temple.
