In the military camp,
Captain Liu looked at the one-eyed dragon and said in a cold tone:
"I really don't understand why Mr. Zhang sent you here."
"There is no one else here. Tell me, what is your mission here?"
The one-eyed dragon pondered for a moment, looked around and found that no one was around, then he lowered his voice and said:
"Wan Yanyue, the third princess of Houjin, died in the hands of Zhou Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, Lieutenant Liu's expression suddenly changed.
"What did you say? Is this serious?" 33
"Is the little emperor of the Zhou Dynasty crazy? When he assassinated Princess Houjin in the capital, did he want to completely provoke a war between the two countries?"
The one-eyed dragon sighed and put on a sad look on his face.
"To be honest, something did happen to your third princess of Houjin. If you don't believe it... look at this!"
As he spoke, he turned his palm over, and a piece of jade pendant appeared in his palm, representing the royal family of Houjin.
Speaking of which, this jade pendant was accidentally obtained when killing Wan Yanyue's guards.
"We were actually present at the time, but because of the huge disparity in strength, we were unable to rescue Princess Wanyan in time. Speaking of which, I will personally plead guilty to Mr. Zhang for this matter."
Liu Xiaowei took a deep look at the other party and said with a smile:
"Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind."
"Whether something happened to the princess, I will personally investigate the matter. Don't forget, the relationship between you and me is just a cooperative relationship."
"I will never betray Houjin."
The one-eyed dragon nodded, as if he didn't care about the other party's threat at all.
"Don't worry, you will know this once you investigate."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the military camp.
"I have been tired of traveling all the way, and I was chased by Da Zhou's spies. Please also ask Lieutenant Liu to provide us with some food."
"It's natural."
Lieutenant Liu nodded slightly. After seeing the other party leaving, he hooked his hand toward the beam. The next moment, a man wearing night clothes jumped down from the beam.
"How much truth do you think this person says?"
The man in night clothes pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"This person is extremely cunning. I think he is probably not more than half-truthful. But our king loves the third princess the most."
"So I think we should send someone to investigate."
"Very well, I'll leave this matter to you."
…
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Mansion.
Lin Chunqiu was rarely in the bamboo garden, but set up a bamboo chair next to his own garden.
He leaned on the bamboo chair and frowned slightly. After thinking briefly, he placed the crumpled note in his hand on the candlestick.
After a wisp of white smoke passed, the note in his hand turned into fly ash and scattered in the wind.
The little emperor was assassinated in the palace!
This matter is a bit strange...
Nowadays, among the various forces in the capital, there are only a handful of people who have the ability to install their own people in the palace.
Is it Yang Yan?
No, it can't be him.
Lin Chunqiu muttered to himself and shook his head gently.
But if it weren't for Yang Yan, could there be other forces in the capital?
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Chunqiu's cheek.
He didn't seem to worry that someone would ruin his good deeds.
These troubled times are indeed troubled times. Thinking about it, the little emperor in the palace must have a headache at the moment.
I'm afraid he is still doubting me... Hahaha!
The person behind the scenes does have some tricks up his sleeve. It's a pity that a rat in the gutter is destined to be unable to do much.
"Luo'er, send a letter to your sister. Just say that my father thinks she needs to tighten her grip."
"As a woman of the Lin family, she can't even control a young emperor who has no experience in the world. My father thinks he is very embarrassed."
"My father will give her another month. If she still can't do it well, then my father will no longer wait for her."
Hearing this, Lin Luo couldn't help but feel a flash of anger deep in his eyes. That posture was as if his woman was lying on someone else's bed.
"Father, the child thinks that he is just a little emperor, and we don't need to pay so much attention to him."
"It's just that the time has not come yet. If the time comes and he is alone, what kind of waves can he make?"
After Lin Chunqiu pondered for a moment, he slowly shook his head and said:
"It won't hurt us to leave more roads. Especially you, Luo'er. You should understand this trip to Luozhou."
"If you had had a backup plan back then, how could you have ended up in this situation now?"
After hearing this, a strong look of resentment flashed in Lin Luo's eyes.
"If I meet that one-eyed dragon again, I will cut him into pieces."
…
Beijing,
In a dilapidated alley.
Two figures stood in the courtyard, communicating in low voices.
"Have you finished all the things I told you? I heard that the poison in the little emperor's body has been detoxified."
The figure on the right sneered and said disdainfully:
"Detoxification! How can it be so easy? The toxins prepared by me will gradually change his physique bit by bit."
"In less than a month, he will definitely be obsessed with sex and will have no time to care about anything else."
The figure on the left frowned, with a hint of confusion in his tone.
"But you said that the effect of this medicine is extremely mild, and there will be no symptoms when it is first administered. But now you have seen that the little emperor not only reacted, but also passed out that day!"
The figure on the right scratched his chin, a look of embarrassment on his cheeks.
"Ahem, maybe it was an accident."
"But believe me, this poison will gradually deepen over time. Within seven days, His Majesty will definitely summon the concubine."
"At that time, your goal will be achieved."
"I hope so."
The figure on the left murmured to himself, and a strand of white hair fell from his temples.
"I have been waiting for ten years and finally got this opportunity."
"If this matter goes wrong because of you, I won't mind if I kill your whole family, do you understand?"
"you……"
The expression of the figure on the right froze, and his eyes were fixed on the figure beside him, but after a long time, he sighed softly, and lowered his head as if in submission.
"That's all, I'm a swordsman and I'm a fish. Please don't worry about this."
"But... don't forget your promise to me. Besides, I need an identity to leave the capital."
"This matter is easy to handle. Three days later, at Chenshi, we will go to the east of the city."
…
Imperial Palace, Xichang Building.
Yang Dong looked at the materials handed over by Shu Xiaoshu, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
According to the impressions of these people from the Shangqing Palace, this so-called Tao'er should have entered the palace more than ten years ago.
Moreover, the reason why she was chosen to serve in the Shangqing Palace was because she no longer had any relatives in her family.
And her background has been personally investigated by Xichang and is extremely clean.
Some people died, but not completely...
