"Don't you have an ulterior motive, otherwise you would be so kind?" Shangguan Hongye, who was wearing a Zhou Yu mask on his head, chuckled contemptuously, not understanding him at all.
When he thought of Ming Lanruo's current attitude towards him, he felt heartbroken. It was completely different from what he had originally planned, so he had no good feelings toward the prince.
Shangguan Zhou is also a man full of scheming ideas. It is hard to see why Shangguan Hongye is in a bad mood.
"Haha, fifth brother, why are you so angry? Is it true that Zhou Changle's cousin cuckolded you?" He waved the fan in his hand with a surprised expression.
The Zhou family and Ming Lanruo were just as he thought - they were on the same page!
"Fuck your mother!" Shangguan Hongye had a bad temper. He raised his hand and threw the tea cup on the table at Shangguan Zhou!
"Bang!" The tea cup broke into pieces, but Shangguan Zhou turned to one side and didn't let Shangguan Hongye hit him.
He sneered: "Tsk, tsk, fifth brother, why are you in such a hurry? Tomorrow you will be on the road with the concubine you are determined to marry, so be happy."
Ming Lanruo didn't care about Shangguan Hongye's face at all, and made the matter of Zhou Changle into a secret prostitute so big that even Dali Temple got involved.
It can be seen that Shangguan Hongye, the dream lover of all the ladies in the capital, is not sure about Ming Lanruo now.
It seems that if Minglan did not marry him back then, it might not necessarily be because of Shangguan Hongye.
This discovery made Shangguan Zhou feel very good.
"Haha, of course I'm happy when I'm patrolling the east on behalf of my father. Some people messed up my father's errands. They should stay in the palace to reflect, but they have the nerve to come out and make nonsense!"
A malicious smile appeared on Shangguan Hongye's handsome face.
Even with his words, is he still afraid of Shangguan Zhou, a hypocrite?!
Shangguan Zhou's face suddenly darkened behind the mask.
The black market was destroyed, and he still hasn't traced the murderer. His father's anger has not completely subsided, and he doesn't look good when he sees him.
"Okay, Your Highnesses, we have agreed to shake hands and make peace before bringing down the Nine Thousand Years Old." A man wearing a white faceless mask suddenly stood up and interrupted the conversation between the two.
Everyone here finally couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. The two masters acted like sworn enemies when they met. They were at war with each other and didn't say a single useful word!
Shangguan Zhou took a deep breath and smiled patiently: "What I'm saying is that since we want to cooperate, we shouldn't be so tit-for-tat. It's my brother's fault."
Now that he said that, Shangguan Hongye didn't know what to say. He just snorted coldly and threw a scroll in his hand to him.
"The eunuch Cang Qiao will also go south for inspection in a few days. I've given you the route map. Whether we can kill him or not is not my business!"
"Fifth brother is patrolling east, so I won't trouble you." Shangguan Zhou smiled, raised his hand and took the scroll neatly.
The man wearing the faceless mask took the scroll and opened it to take a look.
He said thoughtfully: "Yes, this is the defense plan of Dongchang Jinyiwei all the way south, but Cang Qiao has a deep and cunning mind and will never completely follow this route!"
Shangguan Hongye lazily put down his long legs that were folded on the table: "Then it's up to you."
After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back: "I have to go on a trip tomorrow, so I'm going back to rest!"
Several masked men following him also got up and left.
Looking at their retreating figures, Shangguan Zhou's face behind the mask darkened: "Oh, the people who wanted me went south to confront Dongchang Cangqiao's people head-on, and then they got an advantage over him. Gu, the fifth brother, was able to defeat him.
Good calculation."
"Your Highness is so smart, you must know that everything has both good and bad sides. If you can kill the admiral of Dongchang Palm Seal,
Then, in the future, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will be in your hands, and His Highness King Qin will no longer be your opponent."
The faceless man said with a smile.
Shangguan Zeus showed a sinister smile on his handsome face: "Yes, you are the one who knows Jinyiwei and Dongchang best among us. Whether it will succeed or not, you have to try. You should be able to help Gu, right?"
It would be best if the assassination of Cang Qiao is successful. If the assassination is exposed, the matter should be pushed to Shangguan Hongye.
It would be easy to let the enraged Jiu Qiansui deal with Shangguan Hongye.
"Of course, you are the future emperor." The man wearing a faceless mask clasped his fists and said respectfully.
Shangguan Zhou was in a good mood, but suddenly he felt a little itchy on his back. He asked the person waiting beside him in great discomfort: "Where's the ointment? I'll give it to you later."
When the man wearing the faceless mask saw this, he asked, "I heard that His Highness has a strange itching disease?"
Shangguan Zhou didn't look very good. Have these things been spread? He said coldly: "It's just a minor symptom."
The faceless masked man smiled and said: "The Gu Miao doctor next to King Jingnan is said to be extremely miraculous. If Your Highness is willing, King Jingnan will come to Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty next month. Can you ask him to take a look at it then?"
Shangguan Zhou narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "King Jingnan governs the three provinces in the southwest, which is worth seeing."
As he spoke, he patted the faceless masked man on the shoulder with a smile: "Your loyalty can be seen by Gu. I will not forget you when I ascend the throne. The position of Cang Qiao's admiral will be yours."
.”
"Yes." The faceless masked man clasped his fists respectfully.
The boss, Guan Hongye, was sitting on the carriage and looking out the window, his expression and mood were very complicated.
Because this morning, his father also called him into the palace.
His father actually asked him to secretly find a way to get rid of Ming Guo Gong if he really saw Ming Guo Gong alive and not let him return to the capital alive.
Although Ming Guogong was not like Cang Qiao, who was a vicious dog raised by his father, he could still be regarded as a pure minister. He led a group of high-ranking civil servants in the court and never clearly took sides.
But my father...
"I can see that you like that girl Ming Lanruo, but she has the blood of the Xiao family in her body. If she lives, she must live alone and helpless.
Only one of them, father and daughter, can return to the capital alive, which is why I agreed to her going to the east with you."
Emperor Ming said coldly.
The Duke of Ming Dynasty was the head of the Hanlin Academy and the head of the civil servants.
Shangguan Hongye also knew how fearful his father was of the Xiao family, but... was it really appropriate to kill all capable ministers indiscriminately?
His eyebrows were furrowed, and his handsome face was full of complexity.
If Ming Lanruo knew that he would kill her father, I'm afraid not only would she hate him, but that ruthless crazy girl wouldn't know what she was going to do.
Shangguan Hongye only felt a headache and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips.
Mr. Bai, a retainer who was serving tea beside him, suddenly said: "Is Your Highness worried about the killing mission His Majesty gave you today?"
Shangguan Hongye nodded: "Exactly, Sir, do you have a way to solve it? I know that people who do big things need to be ruthless, but it shouldn't be like my father who killed his right-hand man and left only a treacherous person like Cang Qiao by his side.
.”
What's more, everyone knows that Duke Ming doesn't like Cang Qiao.
With the restraint of Ming Guogong, Ming Lanruo could not run to Dongchang every two days to see Cang Qiao, the eunuch.
Mr. Bai pondered for a moment and whispered something in Shangguan Hongye's ear.
Shangguan Hongye's eyes flashed slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Bai."
