Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"My lord, His Royal Highness Xinwang is here to visit." Wang Ji's butler hurried in.

"Xin Wang?"

"Exactly, how could His Royal Highness Xin Wang come to visit suddenly?" The housekeeper was very puzzled, Xin Wang had never had any contact with the mansion.

Wang Ji patted the table, "He's not visiting here, he's making trouble!"

As long as King Xin's visit is known to King Lian, King Lian will completely think that he has arrived on King Xin's ship, and will not even have the chance to explain.

"Then, do you want it, my lord?"

"That's the lord! He's here, even if he has bad intentions, we have no choice but to continue, otherwise he will put off his disrespectful hat, and you and I will have to go around." Wang Ji sighed, "That's all. ,welcome."

"Yes, my lord."

……

"My lord, my lord has taken good care of me in Zhongshu Province. In order to repay my lord's kindness to me, I have specially prepared a small gift to show my respect."

"His Royal Highness Xin Wang is polite. Ah Quan, hurry up and take it over."

"Yes, my lord."

"My lord, we are here in this mansion. Ming people don't speak dark words. Dare to ask. My lord, don't you think it's not enough?"

"This king is also worried, Mr. Wang is going back on his word."

"Prince Lian has lost trust in me, and I have promised the prince that he will not help Prince Lian anymore. Why does the prince come to the mansion in person? Is he afraid that Prince Lian doesn't hate me enough?!"

"My lord, don't be angry. My lord, although it is true that I intentionally divorced you, it is also true that King Lian lacks trust in your lord. I just made a small plan, and King Lian became suspicious of your lord. Does your lord still think that this is all my fault?" ?"

Chu Xuanzhao eased his tone, and no longer claimed to be the king, but expressed his opinion kindly. He really felt that it was a pity for Wang Ji to support King Lian.

Even if that person was King Teng, he would not sigh like this.

"I understand what you said, but King Lian can be ruthless, but I can't be ruthless."

"Ah~, my lord, you don't doubt whether you employ someone, and you don't use someone who doubts you. This shows the degree of trust that King Lian has in your lord. Don't say that King Lian's current situation is delicate. Is my wealth and life tied to Prince Lian's paper-thin trust?"

"This……"

Wang Ji sighed, "Is it still necessary to say these things now? If the prince makes a plan, it is impossible for me to help King Lian again."

"I understand that my lord is the minister of Dayuan's humerus. I don't want to force my lord to submit to me, I just ask my lord to stick to my job."

"You really—" Really just want me to keep my job?

There are serious partisan disputes in the imperial court. King Lian and King Teng are doing everything they can to win over the officials. Is this really all you want for this trusting king?

"If you don't believe me, you might as well let time come to see Zhenzhang."

"Your Highness Gao Yi, I understand." Wang Ji was deeply apprehensive, but this time the "Official" came from the heart.

Chu Xuanzhao finally smiled happily.

…………

Prince Teng's Mansion.

"My lord, I have received definite news that the son brought back by Chu Xuanzhao lives in Yazhuxuan, Fuyun Lane, west of the city. Do you see it, my lord?"

"West of the city? Send two people to keep an eye on him, see who he is dealing with, and try to find out his identity."

"My lord, do we need to be so careful, why don't we just—"

"Don't worry, if he is available, let's not offend him, maybe this person can be our help?"

"…Yes."

…………

After Chu Xuanzhao came out from Wang Ji, he changed his clothes and came to Shen Qingjun's Yazhuxuan alone.

Before he got close, he realized that something was wrong.

someone!

He looked around calmly, feeling a little relieved, there were only two of them, both of whom were average in martial arts, could it be that they belonged to Chu Xuanqing?

He really has his eye on Shen Qingjun?

But this level of stalking is naturally of no use to people like Chu Xuanzhao and Shen Qingjun, and it is estimated that they can only find Li Shangnuo who may be in contact.

He turned to the back of the courtyard wall, leaped lightly, and his belt had already landed in the courtyard.

Shen Qingjun was sitting in the corridor drinking tea, he suddenly jumped in and landed in front of him, Shen Qingjun almost splashed the tea in his hand on his face.

Why did you climb over the wall and come in?

Shen Qingjun looked at the direction he jumped into, and instantly understood, "I think, my small courtyard has already attracted some people's attention."

Chu Xuanzhao shook the hem of his clothes, "Exactly, there are two people guarding behind the tree in front of the door, probably Chu Xuanqing's people."

"It's not an estimate, it can only be his people."

"Well, that's right. Let's not bother them to entertain themselves, what do you think?" Chu Xuanzhao sat down in front of him and poured a cup of tea.

Shen Qingjun found that since he moved out, Chu Xuanzhao seemed to be even more ignorant of what it meant to be "polite".

"You're right, they can't find anything useful, so let them go." Shen Qingjun ignored him, still drinking his own.

"It's just a pain for me. I think you will have to climb over the wall to enter in the future. Or, you should go back to the palace?" Chu Xuanzhao sighed.

"You can choose not to come."

Shen Qingjun's expression was calm.

"No, not to mention climbing over the wall, even climbing the dog hole, I can't cut off contact with this place, don't worry, I come every day."

When you say that, I'm even more worried.

"I don't have dogs." So no dog holes.

"If you want to raise Qingjun, I can give it to you? But forget it, your big family in Chenyin Pavilion is already difficult to raise, right?"

The big family/dog in Chenyin Pavilion: "..."

Shen Qingjun drinks tea.

"I heard that Li Shangnuo has been here?"

"Ah."

"You guys, what are you talking about?"

"just chit chat."

"What about it?"

Shen Qingjun glanced at Chu Xuanzhao, "Aren't you busy?"

"Uh, busy, very busy, so, can you come back and help me?"

"I'm just a commoner, why do you want to help the prince?" Seeing that he was always talking about going back, Shen Qingjun didn't want to talk to him even more.

Seeing that he was not in danger, Chu Xuanzhao stopped making jokes, "Okay, don't be angry, I have business to say."

"Say."

"I have completely cut off the possibility of Wang Ji helping King Lian again. Now King Lian has lost the support of foreign tribes and the power of Zhongshu Province. He can be regarded as deaf and blind. If he wants to restore the previous situation, it can be said that the situation is beyond the sky. "

"I heard that there is still He Yan who follows him as a member of rank four or above?" Shen Qingjun thought of this person.

"That's right. However, this He Yan... According to the conclusions drawn from the news in the building, I suspect that he is very likely to be a member of King Teng." Chu Xuanzhao sighed, this He Yan, he also couldn't distinguish him. intention of.

"Oh? You sort out the news about him, and I'll take a look." Shen Qingjun subconsciously tapped the rim of the cup with his index finger.

"Okay, I'll tidy up immediately when I go back, and I'll send it to you tonight."

"Ah."

Chu Xuanzhao didn't have any definite news, but he found that this He Yan had signs of coming and going to Prince Teng's mansion, and many times King Teng's actions against King Lian were done properly, as if he was very clear about King Lian's actions, as if He has a pair of eyes beside him.

The authorities are confused by the onlookers, and King Lian may not be aware of it, but as Chu Xuanzhao, who has been observing the struggle between the two, he finds that something seems wrong.

Chu Xuanzhao had long felt that King Lian should have an internal response from King Teng, but he was not sure who it was.Now that Lu Shihuai is dead, King Lian's close ministers are limited, and Wang Ji is absolutely not like him. In addition, the trace of He Yan going to Prince Teng's mansion was captured in the building. He suspects that the internal response should be He Yan.

However, guesses are guesses after all, and everything remains to be further observed.

........................

The next day.

"This He Yan is undoubtedly a member of Chu Xuanqing."

Shen Qingjun stood with his hands behind his back, and when he turned around, his long hair curled up like smoke.

Chu Xuanzhao was a little taken aback.

"Young Lord..."

Shen Qingjun suffocated, and exhaled lightly, "Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard it, I heard it, tell me, this He Yan—" Chu Xuanzhao blinked, and licked his lips in embarrassment.

Shen Qingjun lowered his eyes and turned his back to him again, "I said—"

"I said, there is no doubt that He Yanding is Chu Xuanqing's person."

"Oh."

"You," Shen Qingjun turned his head, his brows were furrowed, and there was anger in his eyes.

"Oh, then shall we intervene in this person's affairs? This He Yanming supports King Lian on the surface, but is a person who is King Teng secretly. He is so smooth, I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with, but he has to deal with him. God will strike us."

He Yan is not Wang Ji, and Chu Xuanzhao has no intention of dealing with him in the gentle way he used to deal with Wang Ji.

"Then kill him directly."

Shen Qingjun's voice was extremely indifferent.

"Qingjun, don't be angry, I just lost my mind, don't make jokes first, let's work together."

Shen Qingjun turned around and held Yuxiao, "I never joke."

"You, are you serious?! Kill him directly?" Chu Xuanzhao saw that his face really didn't look like he was joking.

However, He Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was a dignified official from the fourth rank, and had unpredictable relations with both King Lian and King Teng. Can he really be killed directly?

Naturally, he is not afraid of being pursued by the court. He has a lot of ways to make the court find nothing, but, King Lian and King Teng...

"He Yan, He Yan, if he really closed his eyes..." Shen Qingjun smiled.

This name is really, huh, huh.

"But Qingjun, is this really okay? He is a fourth-rank official. Although he is only a fourth-rank official, he is still an official of the imperial court after all."

Chu Xuanzhao still felt that doing this was too, too much.

"I say so, of course there is a reason."

"what reason?"

Shen Qingjun walked slowly to the bamboo chair and sat down, "His identity is the reason."

"Identity? Dali Temple Shaoqing?"

"No, I mean, the identity of his internal response. If he was killed suddenly at this time, the first thing King Teng would suspect is whether King Lian already knew He Yan's identity, so he killed him. And you said, During this period of time, King Lian should have really started to doubt his identity, I have read the information, and your guess is probably right, King Lian has indeed become suspicious."

"so what?"

"So, we can kill He Yan directly."

"...!"

Qingjun, I can't keep up with my brain, can you not omit the explanation in the middle?

"...I still don't quite get it."

"I think what I said is very clear." Shen Qingjun raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly.

I was despised.

Still being despised by the person you like.

Chu Xuanzhao felt his eyes darken.

"As long as King Lian is sure that He Yan is an internal response, he naturally wants him to die. In that case, even if he suspects He Yan's death, he won't care too much about it. Besides, King Lian is nothing to be afraid of right now, the important thing is King Teng .”

"Oh..., but how can King Lian confirm that He Yan is an internal response? Even if we help him and reveal it without any trace, there must be a basis? But the fact is that we don't know exactly what He Yan did. .”

Shen Qingjun looked at him and didn't speak.

"..."

"Oh, we want to kill He Yan, so after his death, King Teng will investigate his death from the direction of King Lian, which is tantamount to acknowledging He Yan's identity as an internal response."

"That's right. Regardless of whether King Lian inquired into his death in the end, King Teng would never let it go. The more King Lian went to investigate, the more King Teng would feel that he cared about this matter to cover up his tracks. King Lian said no Now, when the time comes, a confrontation between King Teng and King Lian will probably be unavoidable."

"Oh... then, when shall we kill him? Use yours or mine? Yours is better, right?" Chu Xuanzhao felt that Chenyin Pavilion was the most suitable for this matter, but he thought about it lightly. Jun will not agree.

"I'll go myself."

"!"

"Qingjun, it's not necessary, is it?" Even Chu Xuanzhao himself didn't think about going there in person.

Shen Qingjun lowered his eyes and said nothing, just stroked the jade flute in his hand.

What he didn't say was that after reading the news sent by Chu Xuanzhao, he found that this He Yan was the son of He Zongqing, one of the courtiers who killed his grandfather.

This is also an important reason why he chose to kill He Yan directly.

In fact, when Chu Xuanzhao asked the reason, he was also thinking about whether it was feasible.

Chu Xuanzhao looked at him rubbing Yuxiao's hand, this, it's not that Qingjun hasn't killed someone for a long time, his hand is itchy, right?He feels that this summer is a bit cold.

No, no, how could Qingjun be such a boring person.

Chu Xuanzhao settled down, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"No need."

"Although you are good at killing, you are not good at searching. He Yan is dead, maybe there will be something left, I will search."

"Okay, but you can only watch and not interfere."

"Okay, I promise you."
