The old emperor didn't care about the death of a concubine and a prince, but it was terrible that Long Tian's people could enter and leave the harem so easily and complete the assassination.

If Long Tian had other ideas and took action against him, could the palace stop him?

This was the real reason why the old emperor was angry.

The palace launched a large-scale screening and cleansing, but the people caught were all spies planted by various forces and had nothing to do with the North.

This made the old emperor angry and helpless.

So many people came from different forces, and it was impossible to fight back. Today's Xia Kingdom can't stand his tossing.

The law does not punish the masses, resulting in nothing in the end.

Knowing that it was Long Tian who did it, but not having any handle, the old emperor was angry and mobilized a group of masters from the clan mansion to protect himself.

The emperor thought that the palace was the safest, but now it was full of holes.

"Does this matter affect No. 3?"

Shadow No. 3 has been hiding in the palace. It was with his help that Yan Shisan could act so smoothly.

"Your Highness, not yet. Number 3 is doing very well."

Only after hearing what Cao Zhengchun said did Long Tian feel relieved. After all, Long Tian still had an action plan that needed the help of Number 3.

On this day, Long Tian did not go anywhere and stayed in the Royal Courtyard to practice martial arts.

Until the evening, Cao Zhengchun brought a message.

"Your Highness, the Grand Tutor invites you to a banquet. Someone wants to see you."

Long Tian was a little surprised. After the last meeting, they clearly agreed not to meet unless necessary. It has only been a few days, and he invited himself to go.

Someone wants to see him. Who could it be?

No matter what, Long Tian had to go when his future father-in-law invited him.

So, Long Tian took a few people and went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Long Tian's actions were soon known to all parties, but it was reasonable for a son-in-law to meet his father-in-law, so no one paid much attention.

Grand Tutor's Mansion

"Old man, have you really thought it through? If you do this, there is no turning back."

Grandmaster Hao Wudao sighed and said.

"You know how much I have paid for the Xia Kingdom in my life, but what have I got in return?"

"Several sons died in various accidents, leaving only this grandson. Now he is being targeted again. I am unwilling to accept this."

"For the Xia Kingdom, I don't care if I lose my life, but your Majesty is too cruel to make my Su family extinct."

It turned out that the one who wanted to see Long Tian was the current Taiwei Su Jingshan.

The Su family is not only a big family in Kyoto, but Taiwei Su also controls the military power of the whole country. Although there is some water, in name, Su Jingshan is indeed the first person in the army.

Over the years, in order to defend the country, the Su family sent all the clan members to the battlefield, but over the years, various accidents occurred frequently, and Su Jingshan's sons all died on the battlefield.

Su Jingshan didn't think much about it at first, but as his sons died one by one, Su Jingshan soon found something wrong.

Every son who died in battle was unexpected, either besieged by a powerful enemy or unable to be rescued in time, which left Su Jingshan with doubts.

Through secret investigation, Su Jingshan found that the sons who died in battle were all quite strange. After investigating, the clues pointed to the inside and finally gathered to the royal family.

At this point, Su Jingshan woke up from his dream and figured it out.

The old emperor not only wanted to reduce the power of the vassal states, but also to centralize power. As a general with military power, he naturally could not reassure the old emperor.

Now that Su Jingshan is old, no one knows how long he can live, but the influence of the Su family in the army is deeply rooted.

The old emperor will never be at ease unless all the men in the Su family die.

Although Su Jingshan figured it out, he had no choice. If the Su family wanted to resist, it would be courting death.

Since all his sons died, Su Jingshan could only accept his fate while being grieving.

However, the old emperor did not intend to let the Su family go.

Just today, the old emperor suddenly issued an order to transfer Su Jingshan's only grandson Su Meng to the border of Western Chu as a fourth-rank general.

This seems to be a reward, but Su Jingshan knows that the old emperor is going to take action against his grandson.

Once Su Meng has an accident, the Su family will be completely cut off from inheritance.

This move is so cruel that Su Jingshan cannot accept it.

After returning home, Su Jingshan thought for a long time, and then made up his mind to sneak into the Taifu Mansion secretly, find Hao Wudao, and tell the truth.

Hao Wudao also felt about Su Jingshan's experience. There are a few fools in Kyoto, not to mention the first-rank officials of the court. Everyone is just pretending to be confused.

Now that Su Jingshan directly pointed it out and asked Hao Wudao to let Long Tian come over, Hao Wudao understood Su Jingshan's plan.

Hao Wudao also knew that Su Jingshan knew that his Hao family also had no way out, otherwise he would not come to the door.

"Old man, we all understand your situation.I have no right to criticize your decision. Now the situation of my Hao family is not much better, not only because of Long Tian. "

"I am an old guy who is known as the first person in the literary way of Xia country. I am also feared. At this last critical time, whether the Hao family can survive alone is hard to say. "

Hao Wudao said with a sigh. These old guys have fought for Xia country all their lives, but in the end, they still can't escape the fate of the bow being put away after the bird is gone.

"I had a premonition after Long Dao's accident, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. This matter is also our fault. If we were like that old bastard Lin Jinnan, we would have sent our children and grandchildren to the sect to practice early, and there would not be so many things. "

Su Jingshan regretted it at this time. After all, it was his stubbornness that harmed the Su family.

"Why choose Long Tian? You should know that the one in the south is not a good person either."

Hao Wudao asked. People go to higher places. The strength of the one in the south is obviously stronger at this time.

"Adding flowers to the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. This is one. "

"Secondly, Long Tian is clear about right and wrong, decisive in his actions, and has a likable personality."

"Thirdly, now that Long Tian is in Kyoto, he can help the Su family even more. This kid must be confident if he dares to come to Kyoto. Maybe the situation in Xia will change because of him."

"Fourthly, I know that although you, old guy, scold Long Dao all day long, you actually admire Long Dao very much, especially Long Tian's recent performance, which must suit your taste. How can you, old guy, not be tempted?"

"The last point is my guess. Long Tian's purpose of coming to Kyoto may not be simple. From what I have seen recently, the intelligence system in the North may have found something, so Long Tian came here without hesitation."

"If this is the case, what Long Tian is going to do next may be earth-shaking. With our secret help, the possibility of success will increase greatly."

"Although I am old, I am not confused. The blood of my Su family sons cannot be shed in vain. "

Su Jingshan has given his heart and soul to Hao Wudao, putting his family's wealth and lives on his shoulders.

If these words were to get out, the Su family would be wiped out in an instant.
