The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down
Chapter 168 Wolf Ambition
"Who else could it be if not theirs?"
Pingxi Hou was very confused, so Zheng Chi told him about Zhao Xi.
"I also thought she was dead. She was just an insignificant character, and it would be easy to kill her. But after several fights, I found that she was much more difficult to deal with than her elder sister, and even more strange and unpredictable. That day, I was almost blown to death by her in an inn in a border town. Now she is so brave that she dares to blow up the palace and kidnap the queen mother. I think she can't do it alone, so there must be someone behind her."
Zheng Chi looked down on Pei Shuo, a mere nobleman who was suppressed by the imperial power and had no power to fight back. His beloved woman was taken away from him and his legs were easily broken. He was like a stray dog and almost died at the hands of Yuan Qingzong.
If Zhao Xi hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid I would have lost my life.
Zhao Xi might have some abilities, but Pei Shuo is a bit naive and ridiculous.
Only Zhao Xi made him more curious the more he explored.
During this time he was away from Panjing, he conducted secret investigations for a long time.
No matter how you look at it, this girl doesn't seem like someone who has this ability.
With that set of kung fu, even if he inherited Zhang Yao's inner strength, it would be impossible for him to become as powerful and fierce as he was that day.
Zheng Chi followed the trail with this doubt in mind, but before he found any result, he heard the news that the Queen Mother was missing, and he hurried back to Panjing.
No matter what, he must rescue the Queen Mother.
If something happened to the Queen Mother, it would be hard to say what would happen to them in the future.
Pingxi Hou was also slightly surprised when he heard him say this. Since Zhao Xi was Yuan Qingzong's assassin, why had he never heard of him?
Zheng Chi smiled and said, "You are a high-ranking official, so it is normal that you don't know about a low-ranking assassin. But you should have an impression of her elder sister Zhang Yao."
Pingxi Hou nodded. That was the best killer in the world. He was very skilled, but it was a pity that he had to leave Yuanqing Sect and betray the sect.
Yuan Qingzong would naturally not let such a person leave alive.
"So what you mean is that this Zhao Xi came back for revenge and wants to destroy the Yuan Qing Sect?"
Zheng Chi nodded, and Pingxi Hou sneered: "You really don't know your own abilities."
Zheng Chi reminded him, "My Lord, please don't forget that it was this overconfident man who took the Queen Mother away."
Pingxi Hou was choked and calmed down. "Then do you know how to catch this person?"
Pingxi Hou asked this question but felt that it was unnecessary. If Zheng Chi had the ability to catch this man, why would he let this man kidnap the Queen Mother right under his nose?
Zheng Chi saw his expression and didn't care about his thoughts. Instead, he asked Pingxi Hou: "My Lord, can you tell me why the Queen Mother wanted to arrest Pei Wu?"
Pingxi Hou paused and hesitated slightly.
"Now that he has been taken away by Master Jia, you and I know exactly what he is thinking. We are in the same boat. If anything happens to the Queen Mother, neither you nor I will be well off."
"What does this have to do with your arrest of Zhao Xi and the others?"
Zheng Chi: "Since they have gone through so much trouble to find out Pei Wu's whereabouts, they must be trying to save him. I think Pei Wu's secret is also very important to them. If you are willing to tell me, maybe I can start from here and catch them."
Pingxi Hou looked at Zheng Chi hesitantly, but Zheng Chi did not rush him. Instead, he sat down and drank a few sips of tea.
Seeing this, Pingxi Hou could only sigh and decided to tell him the truth: "Have you heard of Panshan Dragon?"
Zheng Chi nodded slightly, "Of course I have heard of this. Many years ago, this man was a world-famous thief. Countless people tried to capture him but failed, until the Duke of Zhenguo returned from the battle and captured him."
Later, they used the name of Panshan Dragon to lure the Liu and Pei families into the game, and plotted against the Pei family, but the plan went awry in the end.
Pingxi Hou nodded and said, "People only know Panshanlong as a famous bandit, but few people know that he is the bloodline of Dayu's royal family."
Zheng Chi was slightly distracted when he heard the words "Dayu Imperial Family". He said calmly, "Dayu Imperial Dynasty has been destroyed for many years. Even if Panshan Dragon has some blood of Dayu Imperial Family, it is just a pile of bones now. Why did the Marquis bring this up?"
"Don't forget that although the world is divided into three parts now, decades ago, these three countries all belonged to the Dayu Dynasty."
Whether it is Beichen, Dingnan, or even the Great Zhou, they all claim that they have the blood of the royal family of Dayu and are the true dragon emperors.
These three royal families all wanted to unify the world and restore the glory of the Dayu Dynasty, but no one could defeat the other, which led to the three-way confrontation for the past few decades.
Zheng Chi laughed and said, "It's not that easy to unify the world."
Decades ago, the world was in chaos. After countless battles, they finally managed to stabilize the country and the people had time to recuperate and catch their breath.
But over the years, there have always been wars of varying sizes between the three kingdoms, and each kingdom wanted to annex the other, but they were helpless.
Over time, a three-way balance of power has been formed, and no one has been able to break it so far.
But which emperor did not have the desire to unify the world?
The Queen Mother also had such a desire.
"After the empire was divided into three parts, the whereabouts of the imperial seal remains unknown. This is a well-known fact. Therefore, no matter who claims to be the true emperor or the legitimate heir of the empire, they lack legitimacy."
"What does all this have to do with Pei Wu?"
"Of course it is related, because Pan Shanlong died at the hands of Pei Wu, and he was the last person to see Pan Shanlong. Yuan Qingzong got the news and secretly investigated for many years before he found out that the imperial seal was in Pan Shanlong's hands. Unfortunately, when our people arrived, Pei Wu had already taken the initiative and eliminated Pan Shanlong."
"The Queen Mother suspects that the Imperial Seal is in Pei Wu's hands?"
"It's not a doubt, it's certain that he has it."
Zheng Chi sneered: "If this thing is really in his hands, why didn't he give it to the emperor of Da Zhou? He is loyal to the court, even though the emperor of Da Zhou is always wary of him and thinks that he will surpass his master."
Pingxi Hou smiled and said, "The reason is very simple, because he is very afraid that the emperor will start another war. Any emperor who gets the imperial seal will want to start a war to unify the world. But the Great Zhou has finally recuperated for many years, and Pei Wu is dedicated to the country and the people. He does not want to see the people involved in the war again, displaced and their families destroyed, so he hid the imperial seal."
Even when the family was in crisis, Pei Wu never thought of taking out his things for exchange.
When Zheng Chi heard this, he sneered and didn't believe that Pei Wu would go to such lengths for the country and the people. Having stayed in Yuan Qingzong for a long time, he had seen more ghosts than people, and they believed in the ugliest side of human hearts.
What is serving the country and the people? In Zheng Chi's opinion, maybe the Pei family has long had ambitions to become the emperor. From this point of view, the so-called loyalty is probably just a long-standing drama.
