Du Juan also cried with joy when he saw the master Bo Ouyang Yu descending from the sky, but when the two proposed to take her away, Du Juan refused.

Ouyang Yu and Chai Shaoning learned from Du Juan that in order to cover up the bloody case on Qixian Island, the king of Hainan secretly killed the daughters who were escorted back to the palace, but left Du Fei and her alone, and threatened her life, so that Du Fei was at the mercy of Du Fei and did a very secret big thing for them.

Du Fei agreed to the request of the king of Hainan, and at the same time, in turn, threatened with his own life, and did not allow the king of Hainan to touch a single hair of the cuckoo, otherwise he would rather die than die for the king of Hainan.

Du Juan was greatly moved by this, considering that once he escaped, the king of Hainan might be angry with Du Fei, so he refused to leave.

Ouyang Yu and Chai Shaoning persuaded Du Juan, so they had to let her stay in the Hainan Palace. However, when Du Juan said that the king of Hainan actually rushed to the capital with Du Fei, both of them were surprised.

Bai Feiyu returned to Beijing, and the emperor would definitely take precautions against this after receiving the news that the king of Hainan was intending to rebel, and the king of Hainan would be tantamount to throwing himself into a net! Even if he used himself as a cover to assassinate the emperor, what way could he escape from Yingtian City surrounded by heavy troops after he succeeded?

The two of them guessed left and right, maybe the king of Hainan thought that now was not a good opportunity to start an army, so he took the risk to enter Beijing and delay time, or maybe he had something else that others could not think of? But in any case, it would definitely be unfavorable to the imperial court.

Ouyang Yu and Chai Shaoning combined, once the emperor is assassinated, the world will definitely be in chaos. The two of them decided to ask someone to send the news back to Heavenly Demon Island on the one hand, and on the other hand, they took Song Yuanlan to rush to the capital, and asked Bai Feiyu to remind the emperor and let him beware of the king of Hainan!

After Chai Shaoning finished telling the story, he said: "Uncle Ouyang wants to secretly investigate the movements of the people under the King of Hainan to see if they will prepare to assassinate the emperor?

After hearing this, Xue Nianci regretted and said: "Did the King of Hainan bring Du Fei into Beijing? I hate those royal people for deceiving me, and I didn't go with my father to meet that grandfather, otherwise maybe I could have met Du Fei, and maybe I had already rescued him at this time?"

Chai Shaoning said: "I can't figure out how Du Fei can help the King of Hainan, but since the King of Hainan has brought Du Fei with him, as long as we see Du Fei, maybe we can know the true purpose of the King of Hainan entering Beijing!"

As the two were talking, a maid came upstairs and said, "Princess, Master Ma has invited Mr. Chai and Miss Song to the living room to meet." ！”

Xue Nian said happily: "Is Daddy back? I'm just about to look for him!" After speaking, she led Chai Shaoning and Song Yuanlan to the living room.

The Lantern Festival has passed, the weather is still very cold, and at night, there is a hazy drizzle over Jinling.

Chai Shaoning saw Bai Feiyu in a private living room with a stove in the inner courtyard.

At this time, Bai Feiyu's face was full of red light, and he looked in good spirits, and when he saw Chai Shaoning entering the house, he got up and stepped forward to take Chai Shaoning's hand and said, "The virtuous nephew came just in time, and I just wanted Lu'er to send a letter and invite you to Beijing!"

"Oh?" Chai Shaoning said curiously: "I don't know why my uncle asked us to enter Beijing?"

Bai Feiyu said with a smile: "Let's talk about the purpose of your visit to Beijing this time!"

Listening to Chai Shaoning tell what happened, Bai Feiyu said: "The matter of Lan's niece is wrapped up in the uncle, as for the emperor's safety, you don't have to worry." After the rebellion of King Shuntian, the emperor became wary of the vassal kings everywhere, and although he rebuked me sternly and did not allow anyone to mention anything about the king's intention to rebel, so as not to confuse the public, at the same time he put the duty of guarding the safety of the palace on me. You are Lu'er's brother-in-law, and I don't treat you as an outsider, according to my guess, the emperor just wants to temporarily stabilize the king of Hainan, and only wait for Shuntian to calm down before making a decision!"

Chai Shaoning nodded after hearing this: "So the two sides are sanctimonious, and they won't tear their faces for the time being, but they are just afraid that the king of Hainan will secretly mistreat the emperor." ”

Bai Feiyu listened to Chai Shaoning's understanding, and said in surprise: "The virtuous nephew is mature, this is the reason why I want to recruit you into Beijing." ”

Chai Shaoning said: "Uncle is a civil official, why does the emperor dare to entrust the important task of guarding the palace to his uncle?"

Bai Feiyu explained in detail: "This is exactly the emperor's cleverness. I was entrusted with a heavy task to show mercy for Luanyi's death and to envelop the faithful. On the surface, I really have no experience in the defense of the imperial city, giving the enemy the illusion of an opportunity, but in fact, when the emperor disbanded the Red Silk Guard, he left behind the three most powerful leaders: Charm, Ghost, and Night Wanderer! These three people are good at assassination and have never missed, but outsiders do not know about their existence. If I hadn't gained the absolute trust of the emperor, I wouldn't have known that these three people would still be by the emperor's side. Their martial arts are so high that they are no less than any of the top masters in the rivers and lakes, if anyone thinks that they can easily kill the emperor, then he will definitely pay the price of blood!"

Chai Shaoning said disapprerovingly: "Listening to the nicknames of these three people, they must all be people with extremely high light skills. But bodyguards are not like assassins, they can travel thousands of miles with a single miss. Those who are good at assassination are not good at protecting people, and their habit of avoiding the enemy's edge at critical moments will make mistakes!"

Bai Feiyu listened to it and praised: "The virtuous nephew got to the point! The emperor also took this into account. In the past few days, three ministers of the court and the central government have been assassinated one after another, and the emperor took the opportunity to send someone to secretly take the king of Hainan into the palace. First, the king of Hainan was indeed in danger of being assassinated, and if he died in the middle of the court, it would inevitably provoke a mutiny in Hainan and cause even greater war; second, with the king of Hainan by his side, his men would not dare to attack the emperor lightly; third, if the king of Shuntian really sent someone to assassinate the king of Hainan and fell into the trap set by the emperor in the courtyard of the king of Hainan, he would be able to eradicate the assassins and avoid future troubles. ”

Chai Shaoning then understood, pulled the topic back and said: "So the emperor has already made arrangements for everything, and my uncle wants to recruit us into Beijing, does he want to secretly launch a counterattack against the enemy?"

Bai Feiyu was really surprised and said: "Shibei three days, when you look at each other, the virtuous nephew is indeed a talent. We can't always be on the defensive, but in these sensitive times, any inappropriate action can cause chaos. Your identities are different, whether it is the King of Shuntian or the King of Hainan, they are all in a hostile position, and there are some things for you to do, which can save the court a lot of trouble!"

Chai Shaoning laughed and said, "If Uncle doesn't say it, we will do the same!"

The two men looked at each other and laughed.

In the middle of the night, Chai Shaoning saw that Song Yuanlan was already asleep, so she quietly got up and left the room.

Xue Nianci, who was waiting outside, saw Chai Shaoning coming out of the house, and asked in a low voice, "Is the third sister asleep?"

Chai Shaoning nodded and asked: "Uncle Bai won't let you meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes anymore, if you secretly leave the Horse Mansion like this, he will be unhappy if he knows it!"

Xue Nianci smiled and said: "In my heart, I have always been the Xue Nianci who went through the rivers and lakes with my brothers and sisters, and the current princess identity is what I hate!"

Chai Shaoning also smiled when he heard this: "In the past, I always thought that although the second sister's swordsmanship was clever, her personality was relatively weak, but now I know that you are also a stubborn girl!"

Xue Nianci said angrily: "Third brother, don't forget that you have someone to take care of now!

Chai Shaoning grimaced and said, "I forgot that you are still cousins, fortunately Yue'er is not here, otherwise I would have suffered!"

When Xue Nianci led the way in front, the two of them came to the outside of the palace of the king of Hainan in Beijing in the rain one after the other.

According to the custom, the four feudal kings had to enter the capital every year, so they had their own courtyards in the capital. Now that King Shuntian has rebelled, the Jingzhong Courtyard has naturally been confiscated. The courtyards of the kings of Fujian and the kings of Sichuan were only left to take care of the homes. Only in the palace of the king of Hainan, because of the arrival of the master, the lanterns are hung high, and the voices of people inside and outside the courtyard are everywhere, and the officers and soldiers patrolling in groups are cruising inside and outside the wall, looking heavily guarded.

Chai Shaoning crouched on a big tree far away from the house wall and said to Xue Nianci: "If it weren't for listening to Uncle Bai tell the inside story, I would never have imagined that there were so many people and horses, and what was guarding was an empty house!"

Xue Nianci stepped lightly on the depths of the branches like a bird and whispered, "They are waiting for the rabbit." If the assassins from the Shuncheon King faction also come here tonight, then it will be lively!"

Chai Shaoning carefully observed the situation in the courtyard and replied: "Maybe they have already come, but that Yao Zhiyuan may not really attack the people of King Shuntian, after all, the longer King Shuntian holds the court back, the more fully prepared the King of Hainan will be." ”

Xue Nianci heard this and said in her heart: "Then can we sneak in disguised as someone from the Shuntian King?"

Chai Shaoning laughed when he heard it and said, "I can do it, but the second sister is wearing makeup, I'm afraid I can't hide your beautiful face!"

Chai Shaoning had never told Xue Nianci this kind of joke before, Xue Nianci was stunned at first, then her pretty face turned red, and she rolled her eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, the third brother was taught badly by my cousin!"

Chai Shaoningqi said: "How do you know that Yue'er taught the third brother badly, not the third brother who taught Yue'er?"

Xue Nianci's face turned even redder and said, "No wonder people say that a man gets married as soon as he gets married-"

"What's it?" Chai Shaoning heard that Xue Nianci suddenly had no follow-up, and turned around and said strangely: "Why did the second sister blush?"

Xue Nianci knew that Chai Shaoning could see things at night, but she didn't expect to see even the subtle changes on her face, so she hurriedly turned her head and dodged: "No?"

Chai Shaoning said softly: "Does the second sister miss the second brother?" After speaking, he suddenly had a sharp pain in his chest, and secretly said that the second sister didn't know that the second brother was dead, how could he make such a joke with her?

Xue Nianci did not object to Chai Shaoning's statement, and said proudly: "The second brother treats Nianci very well, so it is not like the third brother to Sister Yue!"

Looking at Xue Nianci's delicate and noble demeanor like a swan, Chai Shaoning couldn't help but shed tears. Fortunately, although Xue Nianci ate the seven-colored fungus, she did not have the ability to see things at night like Chai Shaoning.
