Prime Minister's Mansion, in the lobby.
Bai Jianwen sat at the top of the table. Last night, the civil servants at the top of the city gathered together and the quarrel was extremely fierce. Bai Jianwen would look at Sima Yan who was closest to him from time to time, but Sima Yan closed his eyes and looked like an old monk sitting still. appearance.
Suddenly, there was the sound of armors clashing outside, and the lobby was silent for a moment. Sima Yan stood up and hurried forward to greet him.
"General Lee!"
Li Zhen, half of his body stained with blood, walked into the lobby wearing armor, stood in front of Sima Yan, handed back the Prime Minister's order, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Sir, the armed guards have honored their orders and have killed the devil!"
"Hoo~"
Many civil servants' buttocks fell heavily as soon as they left their seats. They felt extremely at ease in their hearts. Someone said quickly: "Prime Minister, the top priority is to help the prince become emperor. This matter requires the prime minister to control the situation."
When Bai Jianwen heard the civil servants in the hall echoing in unison, he was stunned and then burst into ecstasy. It seemed that these ministers had recognized his identity.
"Prime Minister."
Bai Jianwen looked at Sima Yan expectantly.
Sima Yan frowned slightly, raised his head, and saw the dissatisfaction in Li Zhen's eyes. He sighed inwardly and asked, "Where are the others?"
Li Zhen said: "I am patrolling the streets. From last night to now, there have been several cases of fishing in troubled waters..."
Sima Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not asking your subordinates."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "They all listened to the princess's arrangement. The princess asked me to come over and tell the prime minister, please move to Weiyang Palace."
Everyone in the hall changed slightly when they heard the words "Weiyang Palace". When Bai Jianwen heard his sister's whereabouts, he quickly came to Li Zhen and said happily: "Then let's go there quickly."
A group of people walked towards Weiyang Palace. Sima Yan walked at the back of the crowd and whispered: "Is this your choice?"
Li Zhen walked beside Sima Yan, paying attention to the situation around him, and replied: "The princess has been busy with us all night, Your Majesty... the emperor died under her sword."
When Sima Yan heard Li Zhen's explanation, he realized that he was right and asked, "Prince Zhong and others are already with the princess?"
"yes."
"Hey... I'm in some trouble."
As a former prime minister, Sima Yan saw some things more clearly. Bai Jianwen seemed to have the support of the civil servants. In fact, those mature guys just felt that Bai Jianwen was incompetent and could be better controlled in the future.
If Bai Jiahe were not born as a girl, she would obviously be more suitable for this dynasty that had just experienced a disaster. After all, she had already won the recognition of the army and the clan with a night of running around.
Weiyang Palace.
When Sima Yan and others came in, Prince Zhong and other members of the clan had already arrived. These people were very polite when facing Bai Jianwen, but they still let the civil servants test him, and they refused to discuss the ownership of the throne in depth from beginning to end.
Sima Yan glanced around and didn't see anyone who was supposed to be here, so he frowned slightly.
King Zhong took the initiative and asked: "The prime minister is looking for the eldest princess?"
Sima Yan was slightly stunned. There was no princess of the same generation as the emperor in the clan. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and guessed that the loyal king was referring to Bai Qingyi. He nodded and said, "Without her help last night, the imperial capital would have turned into a human being." Purgatory, your clan has been refusing to express its stance, aren't you waiting for her attitude?"
King Zhong forced a smile. He suffered a tragic loss of his family, but now he has become the object of support from the clan, which also caused him to look away from many things. "Many people in the clan elected me to take that position. But that position is so easy?”
"In my opinion, the opinions of the clan are not important, nor are the opinions of everyone in this palace."
King Zhong pointed to the southwest, "We should be lucky that the city lord has a deep relationship with the clan, and he will at least choose someone from the Bai family."
Sima Yan understood, so he found things more and more boring.
In a palace not far from Weiyang Palace, Bai Jiahe said apologetically, "I thought about it seriously all night, and Jianwen is more suitable than me."
After she finished speaking, she never got a response. She raised her head nervously, only to find Mu Qing and Bai Qingyi laughing.
Looking at her.
Bai Qingyi said: "I made a bet with him, and it seems I won."
Bai Jiahe looked at Mu Qing and said quickly: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the ancestral temple and there will be no more changes in the fate of the entire dynasty."
Mu Qing sighed softly, "I am the one who made things difficult for you. My original intention was not to have a country that completely surrendered to me. This is meaningless to me. But if you do this, Jianwen may not feel that you are doing it in the future." You're helping him, but it feels like you've been trying to control him."
Bai Jiahe smiled brightly, "When Jianwen becomes more mature, I will slowly let go. The great road is what we all want."
Mu Qing nodded, "Your attitude is our attitude. Go ahead, those people are still waiting for you."
Bai Jiahe was stunned, "Are you going back to Suzaku City?"
Bai Qingyi shook his head and said: "We need to meet Prince Zhong. He has been managing the royal chamber of commerce for Emperor Bai. One of the caravans should have been to the Western Mountains."
"You..." Bai Jiahe guessed something and was a little surprised.
Mu Qing smiled helplessly: "Originally I was going alone, but I lost the bet just now. If anyone asks where we went, please ask Junior Sister to hide it for us for a while."
Western mountain realm.
Yue Jiu looked at the mountains in front of which only the outline could be seen, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
In order not to attract anyone's attention, he chose remote and uninhabited routes all the way north. Now, as long as he passed through the forest in front of him, he could enter the core area of the Lin family in Xishan.
Thinking about who he should look for to see Liu Weirui, Yue Jiu flew into the forest alone. Suddenly, a strong warning signal sounded in his heart. Before he could make any reaction, the vision in front of him had completely darkened. . ..
"Bang."
Yue Jiu turned around and slapped the palm. The person took it lightly, and then reminded: "Shut up, I am entrusted by Mu Qing."
Suddenly hearing Mu Qing's name in the Western Mountain Realm did not make Yue Jiu completely relax his vigilance. Fortunately, the other party did not attack him. Yue Jiu pulled away from a distance and looked at the person in the dark. He found that it was a strange woman and quickly asked Said: "Who are you?"
Gu Yingqiu held the Mingguang Pearl in his hand and motioned Yue Jiu to look aside, "You are so weak. If I hadn't brought you into the Mingguang Array in time, you would have fallen into their hands."
While Gu Yingqiu was speaking, the shadows in the forest nearby squirmed, and three figures suddenly appeared. These people glanced at Yue Jiu's position in surprise, and then quickly retreated without any delay.
Yue Jiu stood there and saw with his own eyes that the space around the three people was distorted, and then the next few people were pulled into the bright light array like him. The difference was that he could clearly see the frightened expressions on the faces of the three people, and the other party But couldn't see him who was not far away.
Gu Yingqiu walked up to him, glanced at the three of them, and asked, "A member of the Lin family?"
Yue Jiu shook her head and said, "It should be an offering from the Lin family."
"oh."
Gu Yingqiu waved his hand, and the three of them fell to the ground before they could even scream.
Yue Jiu's pupils narrowed and she looked at Gu Yingqiu again.
Gu Yingqiu said: "Are you willing to believe me now?"
Yue Jiu smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, if you want to kill me, it would be easier than killing the three of them. I really can't think of anything worthy of senior in me."
"Ah."
Gu Yingqiu chuckled lightly and brought up the business, "Mu Qing asked me to deliver the news. It's best to tell Ling Qingzhu personally. Is there anything you can do?"
Yue Jiu glanced at the corpse not far away and muttered: "I've been targeted by them, so I'm afraid Miss Liu's situation will be even worse... Follow me."
With Gu Yingqiu covering her side, Yue Jiu easily passed through the forest in front of her and headed towards a mountain peak in the northeast.
Liangyi Mountain.
When Yue Jiu and the others arrived here, they had already noticed the difference in the atmosphere.
Gu Yingqiu frowned, grabbed Yue Jiu's shoulders, and swept up the mountainside. Soon, the sound of swords penetrated his ears.
"Zhang Zizhen, he who knows the current affairs is a hero, hand over the sword manual
, prostrate yourself at the foot of my Mingwang peak, and we will spare your two brothers from death today. "
"Pooh!"
Zhang Zishan's temper was just like the sword he wielded fiercely. He slashed away the two people with one blow and sneered: "Thank you for being a bunch of rats, but you only dare to fight in groups. There is a one-on-one competition. If you win, I, I offer the sword manual with both hands."
"Haha, Zhang Zizhen, do you think we really lack a rubbish technique? This is just to give you a chance to be loyal to Mingwang Peak, but it's a pity..."
On the mountain road, the people who besieged Zhang Zizhen attacked together again. Zhang Zizhen shouted angrily and rushed forward. Behind him, Zhang Zishan looked pale and supported his body with a sword. He was already at the end of his strength.
Yue Jiu, who secretly saw the situation clearly, was about to rush out immediately, but was forcibly stopped by Gu Yingqiu, who said solemnly: "I can kill those three people without any scruples, but even if the people behind the scenes guessed something, they wouldn't It’s public, but this kind of door-to-door provocation is obviously aimed at Ling Qingzhu, and the lives of these two people will not be in danger.”
Soon, Zhang Zizhen was defeated and fell to the ground, and what happened was as Gu Yingqiu expected. After those people insulted Zhang Zizhen and the other two with words for a while, they took away their weapons and went down the mountain.
"Zizhen."
Yue Jiu waited for those people to go away, then rushed out and treated Zhang Zizhen's wounds.
Zhang Zizhen said angrily: "Brother Yuejiu, you were sent by the mistress, right? Let's catch up now and beat those people up."
Yue Jiu was indeed stronger than those people just now. Thinking that Zhang Zizhen's brothers had even had their weapons taken away, the same enemy said: "Zizhen, when you are healed, we will fight back together. Now I have other things to talk to you about."
"Um?"
When Zhang Zi really wanted to speak, his vision went dark and he was already enveloped by the formation.
Gu Yingqiu said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming up."
Yue Jiu quickly followed her guidance and saw that the people who had just left were returning, surrounded by a young man leading them, walking towards the mountainside.
Yue Jiu said coldly: "It's Lin Luo."
Gu Yingqiu said "ha", "You don't need to introduce this man. I met him on the island. He was lucky. He participated in many things but did not die."
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Luo, who was being complimented by the people around him, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. After thinking about it, he stopped and said, "Two third-class worshipers who have been abandoned long ago are really not worthy of me meeting them."
"You guys, bring them to me."
