Daqing, the Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch with her eyes closed to rest, when a man in black appeared in the room, "Master."
The Queen Mother did not stand up, but closed her eyes and asked, "How is it?"
"King Jingnan has left Northern Qi with the second prince, but they are not going back to Daqing, but are traveling in disguise. It is not clear where they are going. The assassination arranged by Northern Xinjiang was also unsuccessful." The man in black knelt down and bowed his head. , there is a trace of sweat on the forehead. This master is moody. Recently, their missions have failed one after another. Countless people have been punished and sentenced to death. More people have died outside due to failed missions...
"This little bitch is really destined to die after so many years, unlike his useless parents."
The man in black lowered his head. He didn't want to hear his master's secrets at all.
"Leave the assassination to the people in Northern Xinjiang. The Holy Master will definitely try his best to help me achieve my wish. You should always pay attention to the movements and be optimistic about the opportunity. You can hit it with one strike. Do you understand?"
"yes."
"Go down."
"master······"
"What else is there?" The person on the imperial concubine's couch still didn't open her eyes, her eyebrows slightly furrowed with a trace of impatience.
"Today, my subordinates came to report that the old King Jingnan has returned to Kyoto."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes in an instant. Her eyes were frighteningly bright and hinted of madness. She stood up and looked down at the man in black kneeling at her feet, "Where is he? Where is he now?"
"I don't know at the moment. I lost him after arriving in Kyoto, but I'm sure he's back." The man in black sweated more on his forehead.
"Hahahahahaha, Xiao Yuntian, you are finally back. You have been hiding from me for so many years." She turned her eyes slightly and looked at the people on the ground. "Find the whereabouts of the old King Jingnan as quickly as possible. I want to see him." he."
"yes."
The Queen Mother thought deeply for a moment, "Where is the Imperial Master? Isn't he back yet?"
"Yes, I haven't returned to Kyoto."
"Send a message and ask him to return to the capital as soon as possible. I have been feeling a little uneasy lately. The emperor doesn't know what he is plotting with General Zhenguo. Now Xiao Yuntian has returned to the capital..."
"Yes, I will go and deliver the message right now."
"Wait a minute, remember not to hurt old King Jingnan at all, I want him to appear in front of me with all his beard and tail intact."
"yes."
After the man in black left, the Queen Mother lay back on the imperial concubine's bed. She was in a particularly good mood at this time. After so many years, Xiao Yuntian finally appeared. She wanted him to regret that he had abandoned her, and she wanted him to say with his own words that he was wrong, hahahahahaha, that expression was ferocious and crazy.
Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Su Yu was lying on the bed. Su Huan and Su Yu were also in his room. "Grandpa, when will my sister and the others return to Kyoto? Can they arrange for someone to support them along the way?"
"Your sister and the others are not going back to Kyoto for the time being. They will go to Baiyun Mountain first."
"Oh?" Su Yu's thoughts flowed, "That's good, by the time they return to Beijing, these things in Kyoto should be almost done."
"The emperor thinks so too. Now that King Jing is feeling proud, let's think about how to add fuel to his fire." Su Huan stroked his beard, his face full of calculations.
Su Yu chuckled, took out the letter he had just received and handed it to his grandfather, "Maybe there is nothing more we need to do? King Jing should take action soon."
Su Huan looked puzzled, took the letter, and looked at it, "Is it from King Jingnan?"
"Yes, the Emperor probably also received the message."
Su Huan nodded and looked carefully. Su Yu was also curious and put his head over to look together.
"This Northern Saint Master is amazing. Not only does he collude with the Queen Mother, but he also has a close relationship with King Jing in private. This Northern Territory is very ambitious." Su Huan collected the letter and returned it.
"It may not mean that Northern Xinjiang is ambitious. As far as Sun'er knows, there is no peace within Northern Xinjiang. The relationship between the Holy Master and the Northern Xinjiang Emperor is also very subtle, and they are secretly competing with each other."
"Well, then what don't we need to do?"
"King Jingnan actually did something, so we don't need to take action, just wait and see what happens. Let them perform when the time comes," Su Yu looked at Su Huan, "Grandpa, you raised King Jing's ambition like this. He will definitely lose control and do something? Is the emperor really willing to lose this son? After all..." Emperor Wu only has two sons. Although he believes in Emperor Wu's feelings for his little aunt, he also believes in him. Sincerity towards the second prince, but he is the emperor of a country after all...
"The second prince's poison has been cured. After another half a year of conditioning, his body will be like a normal person. Your Majesty... Hey, Your Majesty wants to remove all those obstacles as soon as possible." There are some things that the emperor did not say clearly, but Su Huan was a little skeptical. The emperor's attitude towards King Jing is very subtle... Based on his understanding of the emperor, even if he has no feelings for the queen, he should not have such feelings for his own bloodline. Therefore, there may be some problems with King Jing's identity, especially when the emperor seems not to be prepared to spare his life this time...
Su Yu looked at his grandfather, knowing that he had something to hide, "Does the Emperor want to retreat as soon as possible? Does the Second Prince agree?"
"It should be agreed, otherwise the emperor would not be like this. He has always loved the second prince." More than just love, some things are really destined. The second prince was born to control Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu didn't care about him at all. The solution... Oh, now there is an extra Su Yue. But Su Yue has a cold face and a warm heart. She looks tough but has a soft heart.
"Okay, second brother, what's going on with the Dark Guard Pavilion now?" Now, all communication with the Dark Guard Pavilion is left to Su Yu.
"The arrangements made by the pavilion master went smoothly. I just waited for the order and immediately handed over the Dragon Guard."
"Then we can't slack off. The Dragon Guards have been there since the founding of the country. Even if they have declined in recent years, their strength must not be underestimated."
"I know, brother."
Su Huan was very satisfied when he saw how the two brothers got along. The eldest grandson was a strategist. "By the way, I heard that you hired a capable person this time?" Su Huan said with ridicule in his tone.
Speaking of Madman Zhou, Su Yu looked satisfied and smiled. This may be his biggest gain from this trip. He didn't expect that a knight in the world could be so strategic. "Haha, yes, I have to thank my sister for this. If she hadn't given me a token in advance and allowed me to get help from all the knights in the world, my grandson might not have been able to escape this time. And this hero Zhou is not only superb in martial arts, but also has great military strategies. It’s even more extraordinary. My grandson is really lucky to have his help this time.”
"Oh? Then I must see, there are not many people who can be praised like this by you." For so many years, Su Yu has only looked at Xiao Han differently. Everyone knows about Xiao Han's excellence, so it's not surprising.
"He is in Kyoto and has gone out to help me find out the news. When he comes over, my grandson will definitely introduce him to his grandfather."
"Hahaha, okay. Grandpa is also happy for you to have someone you can use." Su Huan said with a loving look on his face. This eldest grandson will take over the Zhenguo General's Mansion in the future, and it is also time to train more of his own people.
