"Master, if that's the case, then you..." Xia Hong frowned.

Ying Chen waved his hand: "Don't worry too much, don't forget, Chaoshan is still in chaos."

As for who was responsible for the poisoning in the capital, what Qu Jin said may be true, but he can only believe half of it.It was really planned by the first prince, did the other party really not participate?This is not always the case.

I just don't know why Qu Jin came to Daying, what is the purpose.Ying Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at the table, his thoughts were flying, trying to analyze the reason.

"What's the matter with Chaoshan royal family?" Ying Chen tapped his knuckles on the table.

Xia Hong recalled the news that came up recently, and reported: "Returning to the master, the old emperor Chaoshan is dying. There are currently two most powerful contenders for the throne, one is the eldest prince and the other is the sixth prince. "

"According to the information we have received, the eldest prince himself is brave and intrepid, but he has the full support of his maternal ancestors in the court. The sixth prince suddenly appeared five years ago. It is said that he was born by a court lady. Yes. This man is very vigilant, and I don’t know where he learned his lightness kung fu, our people failed to find his whereabouts in time several times.”

Ying Chen hummed and waved his hands: "It's not your fault, I taught him his lightness kung fu and agility."

After speaking, he tilted his head slightly, and looked in the direction where Qu Jin was leaving with deep meaning.

Xia Hong looked at Ying Chen with unconcealable surprise in his eyes, this...he really didn't expect it.

Ying Chen snorted, turned his head to look at the lines on the table, and sighed: "But that's all happened in the past. I come from the same school as him, but there was a disagreement later."

As for why the differences... how would he know what the young people are thinking now?I don't intend to guess, it just doesn't affect him.

"Then master... Even so, what should we do now?"

Ying Chen stood up, patted the dust off his body, his eyes stayed on the jade pendant in Xia Hong's hand which was wrapped by his internal force, stared at it for a long time, and then his eyes froze.

He took off the jade flute hanging from his waist, raised his hand, and the body of the flute collided with the jade pendant. The jade pendant flew, hit the wall, and then fell to the ground.However, the strange thing is that the jade pendant is intact.

Ying Chen withdrew the hand holding the flute, and stretched out the other hand to prevent Xia Hong from picking it up, his eyes gradually became deep.

He took two steps forward and slightly lowered his head to observe the jade pendant in front of him quietly. Immediately, the end of the flute touched the body of the pendant, inputting internal force into it.

A black shadow inside the translucent jade pendant couldn't resist Ying Chen's internal force, and twisted uncontrollably, trying to escape from this suffocating place, but was trapped in place because there was no place to stay.

After a few breaths, the movement gradually disappeared, confirming that the other party was silent and there was no possibility of regeneration.Only then did Ying Chen retract the jade flute she was holding against, and stop the output of internal energy.

With a flick of the toe, the jade pendant flew up in the air and struck towards Xia Hong's direction. Xia Hong caught the jade pendant and put it away, looked at Ying Chen, waiting for his next order.

"What's going on with Qu Jin in Chaoshan?" Ying Chen glanced at the enthusiastic storyteller who was speaking on stage, and led Xia Hong quietly into the backyard of the teahouse.

The manager of the tea house followed behind them, and after evacuating the idlers, he guarded the door to prevent unrelated people from entering.

"The other party has been very low-key since he returned to the royal family of Chaoshan, and his sense of presence is not high. At the beginning, our people didn't pay attention to it. It was only a while ago that we discovered that a mysterious military adviser in Chaoshan seemed to be related to him, so we noticed his difference. Usual." Standing aside, Xia Hong made Ying Chen the freshly brewed tea, and replied respectfully, explaining to him the relevant information he knew, "We found that the two never appeared in the same place, and this military adviser The place where it first appeared happened to be his Prince's Mansion."

"It looks like two people, but they are actually one person." Ying Chen took a sip of the teacup, without any surprise, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "It's his style."

Xia Hong bent down and lowered his head: "This subordinate is incompetent."

Ying Chen handed the teacup to Xia Hong, stood up, Xia Hong took it and put it on the table, then turned around and followed Ying Chen.

"Do you still remember the great battle before returning to Beijing?" Speaking of the mysterious military division, Ying Chen remembered something at this moment.

A trace of confusion flashed in Xia Hong's eyes when his master suddenly mentioned an unrelated matter, and he began to search for the answer in his mind, but in the end it was fruitless, so he could only look at him with a trace of confusion.

Stared at by Xia Hong's suspicious eyes, Ying Chen took his time and did not explain directly.

"Haven't you found the whereabouts of the mysterious military master after searching for so long?" That handwriting was not concealed at all.And the other party's quietness during this time may also have discovered his identity.

Thinking about it this way, what happened in the capital during this period of time, I am afraid that the other party is fighting against him, which is interesting.

Even so, then the other party showed weakness to him this time, used the emotional card, but secretly plotted against the jade pendant, the purpose must not be pure.

"What are Qu Jin's chances of winning in Chaoshan?" Ying Chen tapped his fingers on the table a few times, looked at the closed door thoughtfully, and began to analyze Qu Jin's overall layout based on the information they got.

Although Xia Hong didn't understand the reason for his master's inquiry, his good professional ethics prevented him from asking back to the bottom line, but instead reported all the information collected below.

"Returning to the master, although Qu Jin is a prince, but his background is humble, and his biological mother is not favored, he is not his brother's opponent, and he is not the candidate for the throne in the hearts of the ministers." Xia Hong hesitated for a moment, and continued: "But we It was found that the other party seemed to have secretly wooed several officials."

Ying Chen nodded, thinking about the current situation.The Qu Jin he knew was never someone who would just sit and wait to die, so it was not surprising that he had wooed officials, but why did the other party come to Daying.

Emperor Chaoshan was seriously ill, but the other party was not in Chaoshan to be his filial son, so he came all the way to Daying.During this period of time in the capital, because the people facing the mountain were not calm, the eldest prince did the right thing, but Qu Jin was not innocent, and he was also a good hand at fueling the flames.

What good is it good for him if he is in chaos?

Ying Chen paced slowly in the room, Xia Hong quietly stood aside, waiting for Ying Chen to think.

Just provoking himself is not enough, Qu Jin will not take risks for it, unless... there is a greater benefit here.

So who is in the best interest of the chaos?Ying Chen paused, and looked at Xia Hong: "Check, who is Qu Jin walking closest to in the capital during this time?"

There are limited people Chaoshan can win over, but what if someone in Daying is willing to help him?And this person's status must not be low, he can't go to Ying Binxiao, because he knows that Ying Binxiao is not a perfect partner.Combined with the actions of the other party in Daying during this period, this candidate can only be selected among the few existing princes. I don't know which of my elder brothers has this honor.

Xia Hong said yes, bowed and retreated after saluting, and went to deliver the order.

A few days later, the investigation results were written on paper and handed over to Ying Chen.

Ying Chen put down the chess pieces in his hand, looked at ten lines at a glance, and quickly browsed through the content on the paper, knowing the bottom line in his mind.

It turned out to be him, the brother of the first emperor with the same father and mother, and also his fourth brother, and now the original king - Ying Lanxi.

"Knock, click, click." Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Xia Hong went to open the door.

The people outside the door whispered a few words in his ear, Xia Hong nodded to indicate that he would write it down, and stood back inside the room, closing the door gently again.

Then he turned around and walked up to Ying Chen, frowning, bent down to report the new news he just got.

"Master, I don't know where the news came from. Now there are rumors everywhere in the capital that the regent is still alive."

Ying Chen's hand holding the chess paused slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his usual calm, as if the surprise just now was an illusion.

"What's going on." He stared intently at the chessboard in front of him, and after a while, he placed the white piece in his hand on the board, and then picked up a black piece to think about.

Xia Hong shook his head: "In the past few days, the news has spread throughout the capital, and now the people in the capital know that the regent is still alive, but our people have never leaked any news. It's just... After investigation by our people, we found that this seems to be related to There is some connection with the original palace."

"Now the news has reached the emperor's ears. There are many officers and soldiers in the capital, and they are conducting room-to-room searches." Xia Hong wondered, "Master... we..."

Ying Chen dropped the chess piece in his hand, the victory or defeat of the chess game has been revealed, and Heizi narrowly won.

He looked up at Xia Hong: "Did he believe it?"

Speaking of this, Xia Hong shook his head: "Return to master, no. He also seems to have found out that this matter is related to the original king. The search is just to find evidence, but he is not very sure about your death, master."

Ying Chen hummed, and waved: "Let him go, what's going on with Cheng Jin."

If it's the same over there, he can close the net, but Ying Binxiao is so confident in what he has done, he didn't expect it. He thought that the other party would have to check carefully to see if he really died in three years. Before, I didn't expect...

I don't know if I didn't reveal enough flaws or if the other party was too confident and believed in what I had done myself.

"Miraculous Doctor Qiao has just received the news that he is ready. It should be in line with the people's will to remove Ying Binxiao from the throne."

Ying Chen nodded, and remained silent for a while: "Wait a minute, didn't the original king spread the news about my unfinished regulations? It's a pity not to borrow the east wind that came in vain."

As soon as Ying Chen's words came out, the doubts in Xia Hong's heart were suddenly cleared, and he immediately went out to order his subordinates to do it, and shifted the limelight to the benefit of the people when the regent ruled.

Ying Chen looked at Xia Hong's busy figure, and chuckled lightly, with Yuan Wang's scheming, he would never have thought of this, and besides his own people, the only one who knew the news of his surviving death was Qu Jin.

Qu Jin's calculation was good, but he probably didn't expect that Ying Binxiao was too confident in what he did, and this became the main reason for his failure.

Presumably there was an important part of the other party's original plan, Ying Binxiao found out his hiding place and used his hands to deal with him, but unfortunately...

It has to be said, judging from Ying Binxiao's performance during this period, if he didn't know that the other party was an enemy, in the eyes of those who didn't know, the other party could still think that the two of them were in the same camp.

Speaking of which, the smooth progress of his plan is thanks to Ying Binxiao. Without him, although it can be completed, it will not be as smooth as it is today.

From this aspect, he has to thank the other party, what should he give?Since the other party wanted the evidence of Yuan Wang's participation so much, then he would present it, so that the other party would not have to search hard from room to room.
