"Senior Brother Xingyun, are you a little concerned?" Xu Zhiqian seemed to notice Zhou Xingyun's facial expression under the bandage and couldn't help but ask him why he was worried.
"Actually... I have always cared about two things. In other words, there are two things that I have never understood."
"You might as well tell it and listen." Han Qiumiao motioned to Zhou Xingyun to continue.
"The first thing is why Taifu Xu betrothed Luo Se to the sixteenth son of the emperor. The second thing is that Jin Shangshu once said in prison that the power behind the sixteenth son of the emperor is not as simple as we thought. Support
The vassal prince who rebelled against the emperor's sixteenth son is not that easy to deal with."
"Dear, it's not the power that controls the Sixteenth Emperor, but the power that controls the Sixteenth Emperor." Rao Yue's voice came from outside the house, interrupting Zhou Xingyun's speech...
Everyone followed the call and saw Rao Yue walking straight in front of Zhou Xingyun with hot porridge in her hands with a smile...
The little monster was like a small fish that found its way into the cracks of the gravel. He slipped into the cracks in the gravel with a slight twist, placed it between Nangong Ling and Zhou Xingyun, and fed Zhou Xingyun porridge instead.
Anyway, Nangong Ling has finished drinking the bitter medicine, and now it is her turn to comfort Zhou Xingyun.
"Does Xiaoyue know the inside story?" Zhou Xingyun looked at Raoyue. After all, Xiaonizi was a saint of Fengtian City. She was ordered to assist the sixteenth son of the emperor to ascend the throne.
"Guess..." Rao Yue smiled but said nothing.
"Dear, for the sake of my heavy injuries, please let me take a breather." Zhou Xingyun asked, dumbfounded, "Why would Fengtian City help the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor? Who is pulling the strings to help the tyrants?"
"I don't know. The idiot who tried to rebel was just an outcast who was being used. When the rebellion is put down, whoever benefits the most will be the mastermind behind it."
Rao Yue's tepid statement, it is estimated that only the Lord of Fengtian City knows who plotted the conspiracy to induce the Emperor's Sixteenth Son to rebel.
However, one thing Rao Yue can be sure of is that the snipe and the clam are competing for the fishermen's profit, and the emperor's sixteenth son is just an abandoned son who is being used to destabilize the royal power.
Now the soldiers and horses controlled by the Sixteenth Prince and the soldiers and horses controlled by the Empress Dowager are killing each other. When the troops on both sides are almost exhausted, the person with the greatest benefit will naturally emerge.
"Taifu Xu once thought about using Xu Luose as bait to try to marry the sixteenth son of the emperor. This move is very unreasonable..." Zhou Xingyun suddenly turned to Han Qiumiao and asked: "Do you know who the person Taifu Xu is afraid of?"
To be honest, the sixteenth son of the emperor is just a pig. Zhou Xingyun has never looked at him seriously. Why does Taifu Xu value him so much that he even goes against morality and allows Xu Luose to marry him?
If Taifu Xu's original intention was to recruit the Sixteenth Emperor's son to deal with someone, then... he was probably the culprit that caused today's rebellion.
The disciples of Fengtian City, including the Lord of Fengtian City, were obviously taking orders from others and not sincerely assisting the Sixteenth Emperor in his rebellion. From the fact that they allowed the Sixteenth Emperor to act recklessly and massacre the people of the capital, it can be seen that these guys are afraid of the world.
Not chaotic, deliberately let the sixteenth son of the emperor indulge himself, indulge in extravagance and indulgence...
"The people who secretly support the Sixteen Emperors are basically northern princes. I have carefully investigated them, and there is no one to fear among them." Han Qiumiao shook his head. The powerful princes in the north usually only care about living and drinking.
She has never seen a practical person.
"Is there one in the west? The headquarters of Fengtian City is near Linglang City on the northwest border..." Zhou Xingyun reminded that the people in the northern capital were in dire straits due to improper governance by the princes, and the people lived in dire straits. However, in the capital city in the north and west, there was no war on the border.
Everyone has enough food and clothing, and lives a healthy life.
A truly evil person will not show his ferocious appearance until the last moment.
"Is he Prince Zhenyi?" Xu Zhiqian suddenly said an unfamiliar title.
"Who is coming?" Zhou Xingyun's mind was full of questions.
"The elder brother of the late emperor. His fiefdom is located in the north of the west. Almost all the capitals under his control are stable and prosperous. Therefore, he is very loved by the local people. People also call him Prince Qinping or Prince Ren." Xu Zhiqian patiently
After hearing the explanation, Zhou Xingyun curled his lips and smiled: "Haha... This kind of guy is the most difficult to deal with."
The princes in the north are all scum, with hostility written on their faces, and clearly dissatisfied with the central government. No matter how many of these guys come, the Empress Dowager will probably kill them all.
However, a truly dangerous enemy will never let you know that he actually wants to kill you. After he kills you, he will pretend to be sad and go to your grave to lay flowers and worship you.
Furthermore, the northern capital was very barren, and even if the rebels rose up, it would be short-lived. They simply could not withstand the consumption of a protracted war, and could only resort to blitzkrieg to rebel.
Western cities are different. They can afford even a tug-of-war.
If Prince Qinping was behind the scenes and deliberately allowed the northern princes and the sixteenth son of the emperor to rebel and attack the empress dowager's regime... no matter whether the war situation was right or wrong, it would be of great benefit to the area under his jurisdiction.
The princes in the north rebelled, the south encountered foreign enemies, and the capital in the east suppressed the rebellion, but the west was peaceful. The people of Li, who knew the general trend of the world, would naturally gather in the western capital...
Zhou Xingyun is sure that people with financial resources and abilities will rush to take refuge in Western towns when they learn that our country is in chaos. As a result, Western manpower will gather and the development speed will naturally be different.
The difference between ancient times and modern times is that there is no high-tech assistance, and everything must be done by one's own hands. The prosperity of a city and the strength of a country basically depend on manpower, which truly reflects the saying, "There is strength in numbers."
"That's just your guess. Prince Zhenyi cares about the people and has never done any unjust acts. We shouldn't have random thoughts. And... our current enemy... is the rebels." Han Qiumiao never thought about the sixteenth son of the emperor.
The rebellion was planned by the Western princes.
"I can interpret your words as...after all, you are an old fox and will not let us get caught easily." Zhou Xingyun smiled nonchalantly. It is not that there are no benevolent kings in the world who are considerate of all people, but there are not many such kings.
Zhou Xingyun didn't believe that he was so lucky to meet two people at once, Han Feng and... Prince Qinping?
"I don't know the specific situation. Don't forget, I am a princess." Han Qiumiao's words "I am a princess" were not to put on airs and make Zhou Xingyun listen to her, but... it is not customary for princesses to be involved in politics. Although she has the opportunity to go to court
, but there were many things that the Empress Dowager and the ministers in the court would not tell her.
Because of this, Han Qiumiao set up a 'First-Class Academy' to save the country and help Han Feng.
"Well, Qiu Miao is right. The enemy we are facing now is the Sixteenth Son of the Emperor. Once the rebellion in the capital is quelled, we will wait and see who is the mastermind behind the scenes." Zhou Xingyun said with great courage. Unfortunately,
He looked a bit funny now, with bandages all over his body and only one mouth moving, which made everyone dumbfounded.
Early the next morning, Zhou Xingyun's official residence was as lively as ever. Boys and girls gathered in the courtyard for morning exercises, as if time had gone back to the peaceful days before they left the capital.
Zhou Xingyun sat in a wheelchair, admiring the girl's martial arts practice. Xuanyuan Fengxue's exquisite leg skills were unique and a feast for the eyes of the animals.
Everyone can fantasize as much as they want about the beautiful scene of an aloof young lady wearing a split-parted cheongsam with a waistband and frequently raising her legs.
Looking at Xuanyuan Fengxue's beautiful figure, Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but think about whether he should develop stockings and high heels when the civil unrest in the capital was assessed.
"Chief, do you dare to stand up? I promise I won't beat you to death." Xuanyuan Chongwu was very unhappy. Zhou Xingyun, Qin Shou, Li Xiaofan, Guo Heng, and Ma Liao not only stared at his sister, but also
He has been commenting on Xuanyuan Fengxue from an obscene point of view...
What about the convex and convex waist, what about the unscientific voluptuous beauty of the upper body, what about enlarged breasts, thin waist, long legs...
Xuanyuan Chongwu, who couldn't bear it anymore, went straight to 1VS4, pressing Qin Shou, Li Xiaofan, Guo Heng, and Ma Liao on the floor of the courtyard and rubbing them.
The reason why Zhou Xingyun was able to escape was not only because he was injured, but more importantly, Nangong Ling was standing behind him, allowing Xuanyuan Chongwu to throw a rat weapon.
Ever since Zhou Xingyun woke up, Nangong Ling has not left him even a step. Even when he went to bed last night, his eldest sister stayed by his side.
To be honest, Nangong Ling has always been by his side, and he is very happy and at ease.
Nangong Ling's martial arts skills are extremely strong. With her by his side, Zhou Xingyun feels more at ease. For example, Xuanyuan Chongwu doesn't dare to trouble him now...
The only flaw is that even though my eldest sister was sitting on the bedside last night, sleeping on a chair with her hands folded, she did not sleep in the same bed with him. This bad habit of sleeping while sitting up must be corrected...
However, coming back to it, Zhou Xingyun barely defeated Nangong Ling in yesterday's siege battle. It can be said that his character exploded and luck was the decisive factor.
Under normal circumstances, if he and Nangong Ling fought alone, they would definitely die...
Yesterday's battle seemed fair, but in fact, neither Nangong Ling nor Zhou Xingyun was in the best physical condition.
First of all, Nangong Ling is a beginner at the peak of martial arts. Although she is very talented, she still needs some time to adapt before she can reach her highest level.
Before Zhou Xingyun fought with Nangong Ling, he had fought with Jiang Weitian and other top warriors. When facing Nangong Ling, he was able to hold his ground for the time being.
Secondly, Nangong Ling suffered internal injuries. Although the injury was not obvious, at the last moment, Zhou Xingyun hit the acupuncture points to seal Nangong Ling's luck, and the two engaged in hand-to-hand combat... It was precisely because Nangong Ling's internal injuries had not healed that he could not forcefully use his power to punch the acupoints.
It would turn into a one-sided battle and Zhou Xingyun would be pinned to the ground and ravaged.
Last night, Zhou Xingyun tentatively asked Nangong Ling how her internal injuries were caused. As a result, the eldest sister thought for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so she had to give up.
However, according to the information Mu Hanxing learned from the Jianghu bulletin board, half a month ago, when Zhou Xingyun was about to die and woke up, someone witnessed a heretical woman with a knife ambushing the Jianghu sect who responded to the call of the Wulin Alliance on the official road in the capital.
Killed hundreds of people in the world, including some of the most elite warriors...
