From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

After moving the corpse off the carriage, Zhou Yuan lay on the chair, trembling all over.

Xiaoying pressed the acupuncture points of the King of Chu, then tilted her head and asked, "Who was that old woman just now?"

"One of the two guardians of Wusheng Sect, Dark Moon Guardian."

After saying this, Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't call her an old woman in the future, call her Fairy Lady."

Xiaoying blinked and said, "Why? Isn't she a bad person?"

Silly child, people who are stronger than you are all good people!

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Because if she knew you called her an old woman, she would beat your ass to pieces."

Xiaoying was so scared that her face turned pale on the spot, and she hurriedly said, "Then I hope the fairy didn't hear what I just said."

But she quickly reacted: "Isn't she a bad person? Why is she helping us!"

Zhou Yuan was still trembling all over, and said with difficulty: "The specific situation is unclear, but she is the guardian in charge of northern affairs, and she must have a purpose to come to the south quietly."

"Since you recognize her identity, then I guess she is a Manchu."

Xiaoying said, "Who?"

"It's the Tartar."

Zhou Yuan sighed and said slowly: "From the Tartar's point of view, they definitely don't want the current chaos in the Great Jin, and they don't want a new king to appear. Now."

Xiaoying asked: "Why?"

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "The situation in the north is very complicated now. The integration of the Tartars has not been completely completed, and the power has not been fully condensed. The conditions for a large-scale expedition to the south are not met."

"At the same time, the Mongolian tribes have united, which has caused a huge impact on the Tartar regime."

"So the Tartars hope that the Great Jin will be more stable in the next few years, so that they can contain Mongolia and give them more time to develop."

"If the Great Jin is in chaos, Mongolia can go south to occupy the Great Jin, or go east to suppress the Tartars. Either choice is not good for the Tartars."

Xiaoying thought about it, nodded seriously, and said: "Let's talk about the osmanthus cake."

"It's useless!"

Zhou Yuan smiled helplessly.

At this moment, the King of Chu finally spoke: "There is another purpose. The Tartars do not want to see a new king in the Great Jin. They are afraid that we will sweep away the decadence, reform and promote innovation, and revive our strength."

"They want us to be stable for a few years, but they don't want us to grow stronger."

At this point, he said coldly: "So the Dark Moon Dharma Queen is not a member of the Wusheng Sect, but a member of the Tartars. It's just that she hid it too well and no one found it before."

Zhou Yuan turned his head to look at him and smiled: "So what do you think of the current situation?"

The King of Chu said indifferently: "The Great Jin will always be the Great Jin, it's just who is the emperor. The demon concubine usurped power and the country did not rule the country. How should I view it?"

"My friend, I think you are also a man of ambition. Why not cooperate with me to revive the Great Jin Dynasty and revive the glory of the Great Jin Dynasty? "

Zhou Yuan's teeth chattered and he grinned: "Okay, tell me specifically, how do you plan to revive the Great Jin Dynasty?"

Xiaoying stared with clear eyes and said: "Brother, why are you shaking all the time?"

"Nonsense!"

Zhou Yuan said: "The old witch slapped me before leaving, and I felt pain and cold all over my body."

"Ah! Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Xiaoying quickly took out a pill and said: "Brother, take it, this is to relieve the cold."

"Why didn't you take it out earlier!"

Zhou Yuan was still relying on his Pure Yang Wuji Gong to hold on.

He quickly took the pill and felt much more comfortable. The coldness in his body was forced out, and he felt relaxed.

The King of Chu said in a deep voice: "The evil concubine has abused her power and deprived the Great Jin of its territory. I will work with the Marquis of Annan to lead the world, with the two rivers as our base, radiating the world, and finally seize power to restore the Great Jin."

"By then, the Great Jin will usher in a new era, sweeping away the old and bringing forth the new."

"I will eliminate the accumulated malpractices of the bureaucracy, try to govern the country with the new law, rectify the army, drive out the northern Tartars, suppress the chieftains in the south, and restore the world to peace."

Zhou Yuan sighed and said: "You have a good idea. The Marquis of Annan is really your second parent. In order to send you to the throne, he did not hesitate to exterminate the nine clans, spend all his family wealth, and give up everything."

"Do you really think he Is he a fool? "

The King of Chu said coldly: "Of course he wants to be the emperor, but I may not be without my own means."

Zhou Yuan said: "Your idea is very good, but unfortunately I don't have time to chat with you."

"Xiaoying, take him to Kuixingfang and let Lord Xiong accompany them to have a good chat."

Xiaoying was confused and asked in confusion: "Why are Lord Xiong everywhere? Didn't you say there is one in Jinyiwei?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Lord Xiong is a smart man, he will naturally wait for you in Kuixingfang, you just need to take my token."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "You won't lose him, will you? This person is very important. "Xiaoying said quickly, "I definitely won't. No one can save him. I have already poisoned him. He must take my special antidote every three hours, otherwise he will die of pus all over his body."

The King of Chu was confused. What do you have to do with me?

He had nothing to worry about, because he was a nobleman of the emperor, and the government could not do anything to him.

But just when he thought of this, Zhou Yuan slapped him and said, "Don't run around. You are all pus."

"You dare to hit me!"

The King of Chu was furious!

"There is no time."

Zhou Yuan looked at the fire over at the rich gambling house and said in a deep voice, "I have to go and see it, Xiaoying, take the carriage!"

"Okay, brother, don't worry!"

Zhou Yuan jumped off the carriage and ran forward. Soon he saw three or five female guards running quickly with a group of women, their faces full of anxiety.

"It's Brother Zhou!"

Chu Wanping shouted first.

Zhou Yuan asked anxiously, "What's the situation?"

A female guard said, "Master Zhou, Sizhu and the others can't hold on any longer, they are trying to buy time for us."

"Go to Kuixingfang quickly, I'll go take a look."

Zhou Yuan growled and continued to move forward, finally arriving at the door of Baofu Gambling House.

Hundreds of people were chasing the few remaining female guards, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Zhuang Xuansu struggled to withstand Song Shanzi's attack, but her body was already stained with blood.

Although she was powerful, Song Shanzi was a well-known old monster, and he came from Longhu Mountain. His internal force was pure and vast, and he really couldn't beat him.

Ye Qingying was also injured, with disheveled hair, and looked very embarrassed.

Zhou Yuan sighed and roared, "Witch, this hero is here to meet you!"

He used the Pure Yang Wuji Gong and rushed towards Cai Ni with a long sword.

The two swords clashed, making a sharp collision sound, and fought all the way to the darkness at the end of the fire.

Zhou Yuan stopped and panted, saying: "Cai Ni, your swordsmanship is too strong. Teach me a few more moves in the future."

Cai Ni threw away the sword, threw herself into Zhou Yuan's arms, and burst into tears.

"Sir, Cai Ni is sorry..."

She burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "It happened suddenly, and Song Shanzi was supervising. I really didn't have the chance to send you a letter, and I didn't want to attack you."

Zhou Yuan quickly hugged her waist and whispered: "It's okay, I'm not injured."

Cai Ni said in tears: "Although my sword didn't hurt you, it made me feel like a knife was cutting my heart."

She looked up at Zhou Yuan, her face pale, and cried: "Will you dislike Cai Ni for being a witch..."

Zhou Yuan said: "No, you should retreat quickly. The situation tonight is too complicated. Now it's just the beginning. I have to hurry up and escape."

"Don't be afraid, sir!"

Cai Ni said quickly: "I have asked Master to protect you personally. As long as Master is here, Song Shanzi is nothing. He can be killed in a few moves."

Damn, it turns out that you called the Dark Moon Dharma King!

But the old witch must have her own ideas, but no matter what, since Cai Ni asked her for protection, she will probably be able to get away tonight.

My lovely Cai Ni, she is really a close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket for her father!

Zhou Yuan held her face and kissed her hard, saying: "Do you remember what I said!"

Cai Ni's eyes were full of tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "If the love between two people is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night? I will never forget it in my life."

Zhou Yuan said: "I'm leaving first, take good care of yourself."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away with his sword.

"Young Master!"

Cai Ni suddenly shouted.

Zhou Yuan looked back and saw flames and smoke. In the dark alley, Cai Ni stood there alone, her face full of tears was so heartbreaking.

This is not the time to hesitate!

Zhou Yuan did not say anything, and turned around and left.
