Troubled times but play in the palm of your hand

The secret path leading to Tianquan from Xisu has finally been repaired.

Yu Xiao, who came back from the supervisor, lay carelessly on his brother Wang's bed, twisting orange petals into his mouth.

"Have you had enough of lying down? This is how you look when you come back, can you be in a good shape." Yuxuan opened the curtain, frowning and reprimanded.

"Brother Wang, I'll go to that place where the birds don't shit, and I'll be your supervisor. I won't be able to take a rest when I come back? Am I still your brother?" Yu Xiao made it clear that he didn't take Yu Xuan's words seriously, and threw it away. Put an orange on Yuxuan's head.

Yuxuan stretched out her hand to take the orange, and her tone softened a little: "It's really hard for you these days."

Yu Xiao propped herself up from the bed, looked at Yu Xuan and said mockingly, "Look at you, before the secret path is not repaired, you have a bitter face, and after repairing it, you still have a bitter face, it's really hard to serve."

"What do you know?" Yuxuan sat on the side of the couch, "It was a good move, but with the current situation, I don't know how to proceed."

Yu Xiao sneered: "I'm your own younger brother anyway, so I'm just like King Quan that day, I'm just a fool waiting to die? You listened to that kid Murongli back then, and what you did was to kill Tianxuan and attack Tianquan." It's a good idea, but it's a pity that Tianquan sent troops, and Tianxuan is not destroyed, once this road is repaired, it may become a channel for Tianquan and Tianxuan to attack us, right?"

Yuxuan sighed and said, "You're right. Although Tianquan doesn't know about it for the time being, I'm not sure how long I can hide it. I really underestimated him back then."

Yu Xiao patted his brother Wang on the shoulder: "This is the end of the matter, let's take a step at a time, but the secret road still needs to be guarded by heavy soldiers, not afraid of [-], just in case, if the news really leaks, brother Wang, you Are you sure?"

"If the news is really leaked." Yuxie turned her head to look at Yuxiao, with malicious intentions hidden in her eyes: "I'm afraid this king will send you to collect food."

Yu Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air, kicked her feet up and was about to slip, but was slapped back on the couch by Yu Xuan.

Yuxuan looked at him and sneered: "You have to run away when you are asked to do something, and I don't know where you got your temper. According to this king, you and the king of Quan Quan are a natural pair of brothers."

Yu Xiao suddenly felt guilty, but refused to admit defeat, muttering: "If the king of Tianquan is my elder brother, he won't just know how to order me like you every day. If you continue to do this, I will really go to Tianquan."

Yuxuan looked at Yuxiao, and said in a deep voice, "Say it again."

Yu Xiao shrunk her neck and stopped talking. It was obvious that she was still not convinced.

Yuxuan glared at him with hatred: "Xusu's front line is at war with Tianxuan, and Tianshu and Tianji's places need to be guarded by troops, and now there is an extra secret road. If it wasn't for this problem, I wouldn't have sent you out."

Yu Xiao still wanted to struggle one last time: "That what...Murongli, yes, Murongli. He played around with the king of Tianquan and Tianxuan's deputy, is he not better than me? For grain, you go to him."

Yuxuan was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't worry about leaving it to him."

"You're worried?" Yu Xiao asked in a puzzled tone, seeming a little amused: "You're worried about him, so why did he say what and what did you do? Back then, the National Teacher asked you to form an alliance with Tianquan, but you listened to him and didn't go. Now he has come up with an idea to raise taxes, and you have followed suit, so what are you worried about?"

"Increasing taxes is a helpless move. Even if we are starving and dying, we must first fill the stomachs of my army." Yuxie said coldly: "As for him, we all come from the same source. If he sincerely helps, that is the best thing to do." Well, if he dares to harm Xi Su, this king will definitely kill him.

When Murongli stayed in the residence, except for entering the palace, he rarely left his small courtyard, tended the flowers and plants and fed the swimming fish every day, as if he was really a reclusive immortal.

Maybe his master is willing to live like the king of Tianquan from the bottom of his heart, but no matter how he looks like, Geng Chen also knows how many lives Murong Li holds in his hands, and he can bleed thirty thousand miles when he thinks of killing the mind.

Through the lives and deaths of a few people, he moved the world to kill.

If he was really an immortal, how could he be stained with blood all over his hands.

When Geng Chen went to see Murongli, Murongli was standing at the table painting.The rice paper is laid flat, and the pen is hung on the wrist, obviously exhausted.

Before Geng Chen raised his head after saluting, he heard Murong Li's indifferent order: "Go out and talk."

Geng Chen's eyelids drooped, he turned and left the study room, thinking to himself that it's the King of Painting, I'm not interested in watching it yet.

Of course he couldn't say that, and he still felt sorry for his life.

"What's the matter?" Murong Li put his clothes on and sat down in the pavilion. This pavilion is built in the middle of the pool, the four sides are transparent and there is no shelter. If you talk here, you don't have to worry about the walls having ears.

Geng Chen knelt down and sat aside, and said, "There is news from Geng Xu that Zhong Kunyi may have discovered that Meng Zhang is still alive."

"It took so long to find out... It seems that Geng Wu's contribution is indispensable." Murong Li tapped his palm lightly with his flute, thought for a while and said, "Only this matter? The aristocratic family at Tianshu, prepare to How is the land?"

"Everything is ready, as long as the time comes, it will be done."

"Did Zhong Kunyi join in?"

"Gengxu said that Zhong Kunyi had met General Zhang, and General Zhang rejected Zhong Kunyi because of Meng Zhang's order, but Zhong Kunyi still made a move on his own."

Geng Chen raised his eyes to look at Murong Li, and saw that he closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't know if he had listened to what he said just now.

"That's right." Murong Li suddenly opened his eyes, caught Geng Chen who was sneaking at him, frowned slightly and said, "Did Zhi Ming let Zhong Kunyi go to Tianquan?"

"No." Geng Chen lowered his head: "Later, the king kicked the door and came out. He looked very angry. It was a pity that Mr. Gu followed behind. They were very guarded and the subordinates couldn't listen. to what was discussed."

"Angry?" Murong Li glanced at Geng Chen and said, "Forget it, originally thinking of using Zhong Kunyi's ability to go to Tianquan would be of some use, since he doesn't want to, it's not a big deal."

As long as you and the king are happy.Geng Chen thought with a blank face.

"Has Zhong Kunyi been spying on my news?"

"Yes, ever since he knew that his master poisoned Gongsun Qian, he has been looking for opportunities to attack his master."

Murong Li said: "Since he is looking for it, I will always give him this chance. I will leave the residence in a few days and go to the front line of the war. You should find a way to give Zhong Kunyi a chance to strike."

"Yes."

"That's right." Murongli got up, and his clothes dangled in front of Geng Chen: "You go and get Meng Zhang, and just say I'll ask him to explain."

Murongli was plotting against Zhong Kunyi, and Zhong Kunyi was not idle either.

That matter was like a stone, and Ren Yuanhe was out of breath. Hearing Zhong Kunyi's order, Ren Yuanhe dared to neglect, wishing to go to the battle to check it out himself.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although General Zhang was careful, he still showed his flaws.

Ren Yuanhe sent someone to watch General Zhang's every move, and found that he would see someone every once in a while. Based on other signs, Ren Yuanhe was almost sure that the person was Meng Zhang, the former king of Tianshu.

But at this point, the investigation could no longer be carried out, as if there was a wall tightly enveloping that person, and no news could be leaked out.

This is more unbearable than seeing the results directly.

Cold sweat dripped from Ren Yuanhe's head, and he raised his hand to wipe it off, only to find that his palm was also covered in cold sweat.

Ren Yuanhe couldn't help smiling wryly.

He didn't fully know what Zhong Kunyi did back then, but no matter what, Meng Zhang would never let Zhong Kunyi go.

Under the nest, the eggs are finished.

He didn't even know how to tell Zhong Kunyi the news. The news that Meng Zhang might be alive was like a death sentence for them.

The knife was hanging around his neck, I don't know if it was real or not, and when it fell.

But in the end, it has to be faced.

Ren Yuanhe took a deep breath, got up and left the study, the housekeeper silently followed behind him.

"Prepare the horse."

Zhong Kunyi sat in the pavilion and played the piano. Since he met King Tianquan, he seemed to have taken great interest in the piano.

Obviously it has been a long time since I played the piano.

"Have you checked it out?"

"The subordinate is incompetent." Ren Yuanhe considered the words: "The subordinate failed to find out who that person is, but..."

"But you can guess it, can't you?" Zhong Kunyi finally looked up at Ren Yuanhe, and said indifferently: "You might as well tell me who you guessed."

"It's... Your Majesty."

"You guessed it all, can't you prove it's him?"

"The subordinate is incompetent." Ren Yuanhe's voice was a little panicked: "It seems that the king has capable people to help him. The subordinates sent people there several times, but there was no news. No... No one can come back. This subordinate The news around here is all from General Zhang."

"You don't need to look any further, it's the king." Zhong Kunyi closed his eyes and said to Ren Yuan.

"My lord, what should we do then? Do we want... to meet the king?"

Zhong Kunyi was silent for a long time without speaking, Ren Yuanhe held his breath, and for a moment the sound of the wind blowing on the surface of the pool seemed to be heard in the pavilion.

An embarrassingly quiet one.

"Let's not do anything." Chung Kun Yi said, "Don't talk, don't do, don't hear, don't ask. It's like we don't know anything, just keep doing what we should do."

"thing."

"I will go to see Meng Zhang, but after everything is over, at that time, you will bring my head to see him."

Ren Yuanhe trembled all over, but did not answer.

Seeing that Zhong Kunyi was about to leave, Ren Yuanhe remembered that there was one more thing that Zhong Kunyi had to decide.

"My lord, the spies in the residence report that Murongli is about to leave the residence and go to the front line to supervise the army."

Zhong Kunyi stopped, looked back at Ren Yuanhe and said, "Is it true?"

"It's absolutely true, it's the news revealed by the senior ministers in the past."

"Go and find out the route he took." Zhong Kunyi said with his hands behind his back: "I'm going to finish him off personally."
