a hundred times

The night sky is full of stars, and tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Xuanqing took a thin blanket to cover Zhou Suiyun tightly, and then exited the room, leaving the uncle and nephew inside to talk.

Outside, Ye Zhuchen was making tea with a calm face.

Xuan Qing sat down opposite him, "I haven't consulted Brother Luo carefully, what are the rules of Bangu?"

Ye Zhuchen smiled: "It's decided? There are not many rules, but at most you and Zhou Shuai can only be let in."

Xuanqing said: "I have to think about it for a few days."

Ye Zhuchen rubbed his chin, smiled a little unfathomably, and suddenly said: "Do you know the leader of the martial arts alliance who lives in the villa, why did he come here for this trip?"

"Miss Lu is not young, but asking Liushanzhuang is definitely not a good match." Xuanqing said.

"It may not be that Marshal Zhou is a good match for your son..." Ye Zhuchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and tapped his finger on the table lightly, "Lu Changting is a bad person, but he always wants to show favor to the court. I thought it was very annoying before." Strange, with Lu Fenghe's conditions, it is always possible to be matched with a son of a noble family...Why do you have to take such a thankless task, come here to ask Liushanzhuang to pay back."

Xuanqing said calmly: "Brother Luo thinks?"

Ye Zhuchen murmured: "The Loud House is the eyes and ears of the imperial court, Marshal Zhou is a generation of military leaders, and Wenliu Villa has close contacts with the royal family..." He narrowed his long and narrow eyes, "All this makes me suddenly Doubtful, maybe ask Liushanzhuang before the allegiance was to the imperial family... but now it is allegiance to the world."

Having said that, the meaning could not be more clear.

Wenliu Villa should be the power left by the imperial court in the rivers and lakes, loyal to the imperial family.However, the royal family is declining now - since ancient times, when the monarch was weak and the minister was strong, there was no shortage of capable people to replace them!

Xuanjia wants the world.

Lu Changting didn't know where he got this news, and it was also this news that made Lu Changting take his daughter and go there in person.After all, a founding queen is much better than a high-ranking official's wife.

In this way, it also explains why Wenliushanzhuang wanted to rescue Zhou Suiyun against the imperial court's order, but Zhou Suiyun did not lie to the savior.

The Zhou family has always been loyal and loyal since ancient times, and even has a bit of foolish loyalty—even if the Yongjun is incompetent and abandons Zhou Suiyun, Zhou Suiyun cannot abandon this country that is sorry for him.

Xuanqing's eyes showed a cold murderous intent, "Your Excellency always exceeds my expectations time and time again."

"The reason for saying this is to let the owner of the young village know better." Ye Zhuchen's smile remained unchanged, "If you don't know my ability, how can you rest assured to do business with me? Rumors in the world are not to be believed. But there are also many facts—for example, the people in the Banished Valley are the last bloodlines of the former royal family."

Forward blood.

This message made Xuanqing relax.First, there is a deal in front of them; second, since they have the same enemy, the two parties can naturally cooperate.

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

Ye Zhuchen smiled, and pushed a freshly brewed cup of tea to Xuanqing: "The exile valley can return a complete Marshal Zhou to you son, and when the son's big event starts, you can also get seven martial arts seniors, as well as the world The support of the three major banks."

The price is not low, and Xuanqing naturally understands that everything has not come so easily.

"...What do we need to do?"

"Half a year." Ye Zhuchen offered the price, "Within half a year, the day the emperor dies is the time when Marshal Zhou leaves the Valley of Banished...I only have one request—the new emperor must not be the fifth prince."

The courtiers of the past dynasties added yellow robes, and they could not be rushed.What Ye Zhuchen said is correct, once the current sage dies, it is absolutely impossible for the Xuan family to replace him immediately.The wisest choice is naturally to support a weak or incompetent new emperor, and then create various conflicts, brewing opportunities, and forcing the new emperor to give up.

The country has suffered from wars for many years, and it can no longer withstand major turmoil.

But, why can't it be the fifth prince?Xuanqing quickly flipped through the information of the fifth prince Cheng Yue in his mind. He is the most loved by the emperor and is also the favorite nephew of King Chen. , seems to have something to do with Zhou Chuze... Why on earth can't it be him?

However this is not the point.

Xuan Qing closed her eyes slightly, and said seriously: "Young master is very strategic."

Ye Zhuchen said casually: "Wherever you are, what you need to rely on is the good skills of the young master."

Xuan Qing looked down at the tea in front of her, the water vapor dissipated, and the cup was green.His face sank like water, he pondered for a while, and finally said: "As you wish."

■

The next day.

Ye Zhuchen exchanged a map leading to the Banished Valley and a letter from Xuanqing to get out of Wenliu Villa.

Zhou Chuze stared at Zhou Suiyun's closed door in a daze.

Ye Zhuchen sighed while eating the steamed buns that Xuanqing had made for Zhou Suiyun early in the morning, and dragged his tune: "I'm leaving, junior brother, do you want to come together?"

Zhou Chuze nodded in silence. He hadn't slept all night, his face was a little haggard, but it looked even more beautiful and moving.

Ye Zhuchen approached him with a smile, and comforted him: "Young Master Xuan is very sincere to your uncle, at least he will not hurt him. He is also a descendant of a famous family, and he will never count his words. When Zhou Shuai enters the banishment valley, his body will naturally It will be fine, what are you worried about?"

Reputable?He knows this best. He looks like a human being, but in a blink of an eye, you can't tell what it is.

Zhou Chuze nodded expressionlessly, "Thank you, brother."

Zhou Suiyun never came out to say goodbye to the two of them, and it seemed that he was still angry with Zhou Chuze, but he couldn't be more angry than his precious nephew, who turned out to be a running dog of the Demon Cult.Ye Zhuchen looked familiar, and bid farewell to Xuanqing politely, one son at a time.

Xuanqing's map indicated two roads, one leading to the villa and the other directly going down the mountain.

After the two were on the road, Ye Zhuchen asked, "Where are you going after you go down the mountain?"

Zhou Chuze thought for a while, then said softly, "I'll go back to the villa."

"Huh?" Ye Zhuchen's smile froze, "How do you say?"

"I promised the fifth prince that I will go back again." Zhou Chuze did not forget that he still had a token on his body. The boy said that he would wait for him in Wenliu Villa. If he went back first, he would go to the palace to find him. he.

"Hehe, it's hard for the younger brother to be so attentive."

Zhou Chuze said lightly, "I'm just not used to keeping my word."

The words were cold, but sharply pointed to Ye Zhuchen's lies.

Ye Zhuchen sneered: "I happened to remember clearly that yesterday it was my younger brother who took the blame for me and poured the sewage of the devil's religion on himself... I guess my younger brother is not a person who can't tell lies."

Talking and stopping, the two of them had reached the fork in the two roads.

"I just want to cure my uncle." Zhou Chuze left such a sentence, gave Ye Zhuchen a cold look, turned and left.He had obviously memorized the contents of the map with a few glances, and he walked firmly.

Sure enough, Zhou Chuze's purpose was to cure Zhou Suiyun and let him go to Banished Valley.At that time, Xuanqing was pressing every step of the way, and it was natural to see that they had the best intelligence system in the world. Given Zhou Suiyun's hatred for the Demon Sect, once he knew that Ye Zhuchen was not only a member of the Bangu, but also a member of the Demon Sect, he would Would rather die than go.

After all, regardless of the national feud, Zhou Renfeng died in the Devil's Cult.

But now, Zhou Chuze managed to see his uncle, but he had to take the charge of the Demon Sect and put himself in a state of disloyalty and unfilial piety, so that even the last relative in this world was unwilling to go out to see him off .

He is not feeling well in front of him, but he doesn't care about Ye Zhuchen's company.

Ye Zhuchen stood where he was, looking at Zhou Chuze's back.He didn't go after him, the sun cast mottled shadows on his body, he restrained himself, just like many years ago, he chose another path and went alone.

He didn't walk for a long time alone. When he came to a stream at the foot of the mountain, he took out a small bottle from his body, opened the stopper, and a blue honey flew out of it.

Ye Zhuchen's mood faded: "Let's go."

Half an hour later, Blue Bee left and returned, followed by an old figure, it was Uncle Wang, the hard-working old housekeeper in Wenliu Villa.

"...Master."

"Cheng Yue left?" He cut to the point, "Did you leave any news for him?"

"Yes." The housekeeper said respectfully, "He left a message, asking that young master to look for him in the palace."

The arc of Ye Zhuchen's lips was a bit cold, "Hehe, I want to see how long this noble Fifth Prince can pretend to be stupid."

The housekeeper said, "I told him what the leader ordered?"

Ye Zhuchen thought about it, and said to himself: "No need. Once he knows what the prize of this martial arts conference is, he will naturally go."

After all, the Zanpakuto left behind by his father was much stronger than what Rao Shizi agreed.
