Prince Xiao and Zhang Yu went to the palace to meet the Emperor because they wanted to discuss with the Emperor how to capture those barbarian assassins. It's just that their intelligence is limited, and they don't know where they are now or whether they have entered Beijing. Unexpectedly, Tang Sitian came to inform them at this time and told them a very important news. Even in the capital, there may be accomplices of the barbarians.
"If Sheng Ling really wants to collude with the Hu people, then it is very likely that these Hu people have already sneaked into the capital and are hiding somewhere disguised as Jianghu people." Zhang Yu suspected.
"Mr. Zhang is right, but now the capital is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, and there are people from all three religions and nine schools. If we want to find them, it is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack." King Xiao now knows that most of these barbarians are in the capital, but he But there was no good way to catch them, so he was very distressed.
"Your Majesty can send out the Royal Guards to conduct strict searches in inns across the capital, and we will definitely be able to find these barbarians." Tang Sitian suggested.
"No. Now the imperial court has ordered a martial arts conference. If such a large-scale search is carried out, I am afraid it will arouse unnecessary suspicion from other sects. Moreover, among the imperial guards, it is inevitable that there will be no eyes and ears of the temple. If the Hu people's internal agents are Sheng Ling people If so, then after he gets the news, he will definitely tip them off. Not only will we not be able to catch anyone, but we may also arouse the suspicion of other heroes." Prince Xiao immediately objected.
Naturally, King Xiao didn't want to go to war because of a few barbarians, so he didn't want to use the Royal Forest Army easily.
"Is there no one the prince can trust in this capital?" Tang Sitian asked helplessly.
"Yes, yes, but if you want to avoid the eyes and ears of the temple, you can't conduct a large-scale search at all. But if you only send spies to search everywhere, but really look for a needle in a haystack, it will be difficult to find any useful clues." Prince Xiao Said with some embarrassment.
The power of the Temple in the capital can be said to be everywhere, and no one even knows where they have penetrated. Prince Xiao sometimes felt that everyone around him was very likely to be from the temple, which often made him sleepless and uneasy. Before, he didn't feel how terrifying the temple's power in the capital was, but when he was about to truly stand on the opposite side of Sheng Lingren, he suddenly felt how powerful the enemy in front of him was.
If one day you discover that everyone around you may be your enemy, do you suddenly feel that the sky is dark and the whole world is about to collapse?
Take the three people Wu Buxiao as an example. They were the people that King Xiao trusted the most. However, when King Xiao thought about it at this time, he suddenly realized that before they followed him, they were all wanderers in the capital, with neither fame nor anything to do. Such three people, with their abilities, could easily accomplish some things, at least there would be no problem in supporting themselves. But these three people actually became three ronin in such a prosperous place in the capital. Although Wu Buxiao was not a real ronin at the time, he was actually similar to a ronin in the world because he was just a fortune teller at the time.
King Xiao was young at the time, and just like Princess Qingying now, he liked to pretend to be a man from the rivers and lakes and go around the city to play, so he got to know these three people. At that time, he thought these three people were very capable, so he took them as his own. Although they did not enter the scene together as guests, the time before and after was not too far apart. Before this, King Xiao had never thought about these issues. But now he understands that picking up three capable men on the roadside is undoubtedly more difficult than picking up gold on the road.
Especially for someone as smart as Wu Buxiao, how could he just settle down as a charlatan and end his life like this?
Therefore, King Xiao now felt that he was too young at that time, and it was extremely possible that Sheng Ling had been tricked by someone, who directly planted three eyes and ears around him.
Prince Xiao never dared to mention these thoughts to anyone, because he was afraid that they would reach the ears of Wu Buxiao and three others, so as not to cause their displeasure.
As for why Prince Xiao suddenly had such an idea and began to doubt the most trusted person around him for no reason? This was mainly because the beauty Li Ying from Zhuozhou City gave him such a revelation a few days ago.
Prince Xiao was very suspicious at that time, why did the emperor, who lived deep in the palace, know such a trivial matter in the world, and why did he insist on taking him there?
The emperor was originally very young and could easily be misled, so it was very possible that when Sheng Lingren was secretly fighting with him, he would also plant such a secret weapon directly next to the emperor as he had done before.
Originally, Prince Xiao just thought about it this way and did not think that his guess was right. However, since the beauty Li Ying came back, the emperor's habits suddenly changed a lot. All he wanted to do all day was to stay in the harem and have fun with Li Ying, but he didn't want to worry about other things. Even sometimes he and the Queen Mother wanted to see the emperor, but they couldn't see him in person at all. Not only that, King Xiao also learned from some palace maids and eunuchs that King Xiao had secretly sent many beauties to the palace several times in the past few days, and after entering, they rarely came out again.
King Xiao knew that many emperors had lost their kingdoms because of their desire for pleasure and nostalgia for beauties. King Xiao didn't want to see such a thing happen to his younger brother. But the current situation is that if he wants to meet the saint, he must be notified, and sometimes he may not even see him at all. This was something that would never have happened before Li Ying came.
In other words, the only person who can be with the emperor every day and can see and miss the emperor at any time is the beauty Li Ying.
Prince Xiao can't, Zhizhi can't, not even the Queen Mother can.
Prince Xiao vaguely felt that Sheng Lingren's first step goal had been achieved. Just stay away from the relationship between the emperor and yourself. Over time, you will most likely lose the emperor's trust. If the emperor then makes Li Ying the imperial concubine, then she can really challenge him.
King Xiao also knew that the emperor was always at Li Ying's place whenever he was free, and he did not even go to the palace of the queen and other concubines for several days. Whenever the emperor went somewhere, there would be singing and dancing, and the sound of joy continued. Not to mention going in to take a look, even listening to it outside, I immediately felt ecstatic.
The emperor is very young, and now he has got back a beauty like Li Ying who looks like a fairy. He is completely immersed in sensuality, but it is also very normal.
Li Ying was originally a promiscuous woman, but she was lucky enough to meet the emperor. Not only did she offer him her first love, but she also firmly captured the emperor's heart. She had such an opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate, so she would naturally use every possible means to maximize her beauty and make the emperor, a great patron, completely fall under her skirt.
Of course, it’s still the same sentence.
If a man conquers a woman to the point of submission and makes her do things horizontally and vertically, then the woman will most likely love him so much that she forgets about herself, and she will not be able to drive her away even if she wants to.
If a woman can make a man experience an absolutely unique sense of conquest that he has never had before, then the man will most likely fall under her skirt with all his heart. Even if he is always surrounded by thousands of flowers and plants, hugging him from left to right, and beauties like clouds, he will still return to the hem of this woman's skirt immediately when she appears again and become her servant willingly. .
Although the emperor already has a queen and several concubines, he naturally has a lot of experience in romantic affairs between men and women. However, he has not yet experienced the wonderful charm of a prostitute. Therefore, the emperor was soon completely conquered by this romantic beauty, and he was completely addicted to it and could not extricate himself. Before this, as the king of a country, he had no idea that there could be so many ways to have such wonderful pleasures in matters between men and women.
The emperor was completely conquered by Li Ying's skills learned from the dust, so naturally he could only listen to her pillow talk. What others say is simply hard to hear. Or perhaps, the sound of wind other than the wind beside the pillow could no longer reach the Emperor's side.
King Xiao felt more and more that the matter was serious, but for a while he couldn't find a way to deal with it.
Indeed, for a man, if he is entangled with a fairy-like misfortune, it will be difficult for him to extricate himself.
Sometimes Prince Xiao even felt that there was really no one around him that he could trust. Or perhaps, he is simply a grass king and a soldier now. When he saw Princess Xiao sometimes, he couldn't help but ask himself whether she was also Sheng Lingren's spy.
Fortunately, Princess Xiao is very knowledgeable and has followed Prince Xiao for many years. She has never done anything out of the ordinary and is deeply loved by Prince Xiao. Moreover, Prince Xiao has only one concubine so far. This made Prince Xiao even more convinced that Princess Xiao could never be from the temple.
It's just that although he is sure that his wife is not his enemy, others around him are not completely sure. Fortunately, he found the rain god Zhang Yu and his disciples in time. He now believes that there are only a few people who are the only ones he can trust.
When Tang Sitian asked this, Prince Xiao thought of someone who might be able to entrust him with important tasks. However, time was limited, so King Xiao was not sure whether he could find this group of people. After all, the people around him who can be used are already very limited, and it is not easy to force others to do anything.
"Mr. Zhang, where is the fifth young hero?" Prince Xiao suddenly asked Zhang Yudao.
"Oh! He said this morning that he was going out to meet some old friends, and he should probably come back." Zhang Yu replied.
