529 The Last Emperor's Edict
"Why me again?" Su Li refused.
Su Mo used his elder brother's pressure to let Su Li stay where he was to grow mushrooms again, while he used Qing Gong to lead Su Xiaoxiao to follow him.
Su Li squatted on the ground and drew circles with resentment: "Obviously I am better at Qing Gong, but you don't need to be... partial!"
The two quickly caught up with each other.
It was a man wearing a bamboo hat and a gray robe.
This appearance is unlike any official or envoy entering the hunting grounds today.
It's a bit like the White Lotus Sect.
The man came under an old banyan tree covered with canes and looked around as if he was waiting for someone.
Not long after, the person he was waiting for appeared.
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, Zhao Kangning?
However, this was not the most surprising thing. When the man took off his hat, Su Xiaoxiao saw his face clearly.
The protector beside Mo Guiyuan - Zhang Feng!
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo lowered their bodies slightly and hid themselves behind a bush of flowers.
"Is it Zhang Feng?" she asked silently.
Su Mo nodded slightly: "It's him."
Mo Guiyuan died, Zhang Feng's whereabouts are unknown, and missing with him was the imperial edict from the late emperor.
Xiao Chonghua came to Zhang Feng, but he just missed turning the capital upside down. Who would have thought that he would come to his door himself and even meet Zhao Kangning?
Was it the instruction from the eldest princess?
Numerous doubts flashed through Su Xiaoxiao's mind, and while she was thinking about it, the two people under the banyan tree spoke.
Zhao Kangning asked calmly: "Invite me out, is it your master who wants to see me for anything?"
Mo Guiyuan is dead, and the master Zhao Kangning talks about cannot be him.
It seems that their previous guess was correct, this Zhang Feng was a spy who was placed next to Mo Guiyuan.
Zhang Feng said solemnly: "My master didn't ask me to come here, but I wanted to make a deal with Princess Kang Ning. If Princess Kang Ning is not willing, then I think your sister Princess Changle may be very happy."
Princess Changle is the princess who married to the Western Jin Dynasty.
Zhao Kangning glanced coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
Behind her, two masters stepped forward, pushed the scabbard with their thumbs, and pulled out the sword an inch.
Zhang Feng calmed down and said, "I don't dare. I just want to provide Princess Kang Ning with a choice."
Zhao Kangning looked at him with a mocking tone: "You came alone to meet me. I admire your courage, but you should also understand that it would be easy for me to kill you."
Zhao Feng said: "After Princess Kangning hears my deal, if she feels it is worthless, it will not be too late to kill me."
Su Xiaoxin said: This Zhang Feng is a good negotiator, but what kind of deal does he want to make when he comes to Zhao Kangning behind the eldest princess's back?
Zhao Kangning said casually: "Okay, I will give you this opportunity. Remember, if I am not interested, I will definitely kill you based on your disrespect just now!"
Zhang Feng said sternly: "I have in my hand an edict left by the late emperor before his death, which concerns the orthodoxy of the Zhou royal family."
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes: The late emperor's imperial edict is indeed in this guy's hands!
Zhao Kangning's eyes flashed, as if he was interested.
"Where is the edict?" she asked condescendingly.
Zhang Feng smiled and glanced at the master behind Zhao Kangning who could kill him at any time: "I'm not that stupid to carry such an important thing with me."
Zhao Kangning smiled coldly: "What do you want from this princess?"
Zhang Feng said bluntly: "A sum of money and a route to the Western Jin Dynasty."
"Why not go to Beiyan?" Zhao Kangning just finished asking, thought of something, and said with a smile, "Ah, your master has an informant in Beiyan. I am a little curious, why did you betray your master?"
Zhang Feng was not led by her: "This is my own business. Princess Kangning just tell me, do you want to make this deal with me?"
Zhao Kangning smiled: "What if I don't agree and report you?"
Zhang Feng said fearlessly: "Then we will lose both sides. I won't survive, and the princess won't be able to get the imperial edict to deal with Dazhou."
An imperial edict that could subvert the imperial power could conceivably bring much turmoil to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhao Kangning will not want it.
This was Zhang Feng's confidence to come to see her alone.
Zhao Kangning hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision in his heart: "Okay, what you want will be given to you in three days."
Zhang Feng said: "When I get the money and directions, I will tell Princess Kangning where I have hidden the imperial edict."
Zhao Kangning was not afraid that he would cheat and used the route she gave him to lead him to the Western Jin Dynasty. It would be too easy to track him.
She will not silence Zhang Feng after the matter is completed. She is very trustworthy, otherwise Zhang Feng would not come to her.
"who!"
The expert on Zhao Kangning's right suddenly spoke.
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo looked stern.
Has it been discovered?
The next moment, several masked men in black rushed from behind the trees on the opposite side and rushed towards Zhang Feng without saying a word.
It wasn't that she and Su Mo were exposed... Su Xiaoxiao's expression brightened slightly.
But soon, she realized that it was better for her and Su Mo to be exposed.
Because that group of men in black came for Zhang Feng, and they wanted to take Zhang Feng away.
Su Xiaoxiao whispered: "It's the eldest princess, she wants to get the imperial edict back!"
Zhang Feng hid in Tibet and never showed up. The eldest princess may have guessed that Zhang Feng wanted to betray her, and she also guessed that Zhang Fengfeng came to the Beiyan mission to make a deal, so she secretly sent someone to follow the Beiyan mission and waited.
Arrive at Zhang Feng.
The master behind Bei Yan and Zhang Feng has a collusive relationship, but this relationship is not unbreakable.
In the face of absolute interests, nothing is worth mentioning.
Zhao Kangning ordered: "Stop them! Don't let them take Zhang Feng away!"
The two masters drew their swords and fought with the men in black.
Zhang Feng took the opportunity to escape.
"Do you want to take action?" Su Mo asked.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes. The imperial decree cannot fall into Zhao Kangning's hands."
It should be said that she needed that imperial edict. She didn't want the big tiger, two tigers and the little tiger to hide in Tibet anymore. She wanted them to live openly and openly in the sun.
The two took a detour from the other side to block Zhang Feng.
When the leading man in black saw Zhang Feng escaping, he gritted his teeth and shot a flying knife!
The flying knife cut Zhang Feng's neck on the spot.
Zhang Feng fell to the ground.
Su Mo hurriedly helped the man up and covered the wound on his neck.
Blood kept pouring out.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened, and she knelt down to open the first aid kit, took some hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on his wound: "Where is the Holy Apostle? Tell me quickly! I'll save you now!"
"He's...he's..." Zhang Feng vomited blood, "Fei..."
Su Xiaoxiao listened: "What are you flying about?"
Zhang Feng breathed out.
"He is dead." Su Mo said.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned.
The clues we just got were cut off.
But looking on the bright side, the imperial edict did not fall into Zhao Kangning's hands, nor did the eldest princess take it back.
"Check him to see if there are any clues left."
"I come."
He didn't want his sister to touch the body.
Su Mo searched Zhang Feng's whole body and even took out his pants. He suffered injuries that his gender should not bear.
But if he doesn't touch her, my sister will.
It's up to him to touch it.
Fortunately, something was gained: a pair of cards, a letter, and an inn key were found.
I had a good meal today, now I am going to have a good sleep. Good night everyone.
