Because Xinxiajiang is dead and his spies are leaderless, they will naturally not try to assassinate Princess Yang.
Xie Yu died, but no one assassinated him, and Princess Weiyang never thought of opening the handwriting left by Xie Yu to read it.
Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, who knew this clearly, began to make preparations.
"No, if you do it yourself, it will be easily exposed. I will find someone else to do it."
When Mei Changsu heard that Zhou Chen wanted to pretend to be a sheep to assassinate Princess Yang, her first reaction was to disagree and said that other methods could be used to achieve the goal.
But Zhou Chen said that this was the fastest and most convenient method, and it was just a sheepish assassination, not a real assassination, so nothing would happen.
Considering his own plan and the fact that Emperor Liang's birthday was getting closer, he had to choose someone to start the group as soon as possible, so Mei Changsu could only agree in the end.
But when he heard that Zhou Chen was going to take action himself, he flatly refused, even though he knew that Zhou Chen's martial arts was very high and it was basically impossible for anything to happen.
But Zhou Chen has been in the capital for such a long time, and it would be quite troublesome if someone accidentally recognized him.
Zhou Chen said confidently: "Don't worry, if I don't want to be exposed, I won't be recognized."
Mei Changsu insisted: "No, you must listen to me on this matter. You don't need to assassinate the person. I will make the arrangements. That's it."
Seeing Mei Changsu's resolute attitude, Zhou Chen sighed and stopped insisting.
Mei Changsu frowned again and said: "But you also know the character of Princess Yang. She knows the current one very well. It may not be that easy to get her to start this way, so I have prepared a retreat. If it really doesn't work,
, just go to Yanhou, he will definitely not hesitate at all."
Not everyone can make a successful start. Princess Yang, as Xie Yu's wife, has a high enough status, so it is definitely the best choice for her to be the first to sue instead of Xie Yu.
But Mei Changsu was also prepared to be rejected by Princess Weiyang. If Princess Weiyang refused, he would go to Yanhou. He believed that Yanhou would never hesitate.
Zhou Chen said: "Otherwise, let me tell Jingrui that Princess Yang cares about Jingrui the most."
"Jing Rui."
Hearing this name, Mei Changsu showed a guilty look on his face, shook his head gently and said: "No, I already owe Jingrui a lot, I can't hurt him anymore."
Zhou Chen disagreed: "How can this be said to be hurt? Since you have made a decision, you will have to disclose your identity sooner or later. Now you don't want to alert the snake, but Jingrui is different. If he knows,
He will never do anything to harm us."
"I know the plan you and the prince have. If it doesn't work here for Princess Yang, then go find Marquis Yan. But after all, Marquis Yan is not Princess Yang. He is not the person involved in Chi Yan's injustice, but Princess Yang
But she is the wife of one of the culprits, Xie Yu. It is more justifiable and significant for her to come forward to make the first accusation."
Xie Yu's handwriting is true, but if Yanhou took it out, it would inevitably make people question it.
But if Xie Yu's wife had taken it out, no one would question the authenticity of the handwriting. It would be used to state his crimes and draw out grievances. It would be justifiable.
Mei Changsu's face showed a tangled look. He understood what Zhou Chen meant. He didn't want to restore Lin Shu's identity before, because it would bring a lot of trouble.
But for the sake of Xiao Bao Linxin, he decided to face the difficulties, so now he also wants to pave the way for Xiao Bao's future.
Seeing that Mei Changsu was still unable to make a decision, Zhou Chen said decisively: "That's it, leave this matter to me. Jingrui made an appointment with me to drink and listen to music with Yujin. Xiaoshu, just be patient."
Wait, then."
Mei Changsu wanted to stop it, but finally gave up. It might have been a bit reckless, but both Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were trustworthy, and it seemed like it was indeed worth the gamble.
But he is not absolutely sure. He can calculate, but no one dares to say absolutely about the human heart.
Zhou Chen patted Mei Changsu on the shoulder and advised: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Taking a step back, even if the old guy doesn't want to, we can force him. The prince now controls the patrol camp. Meng
Now that Zhi has mastered the imperial army, even if there is a palace coup, we are more than half sure."
"So, you really don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you have the time and energy, why not spend more time with Xiaobao? Just because you always hold him, this little guy has been very skinny recently and always makes people stand up.
If you hug me, you’ll cry if you’re not satisfied, which is very annoying.”
Mei Changsu suddenly became unhappy and scolded: "I think you are very annoying. Although you are Xiaobao's biological father, he is also my son now. Please be careful what you say."
"Hey, what's your name? You have a son and forget about your brothers?"
Zhou Chen teased a few words, left the Su Mansion, and headed to Luoshi Street alone. The place where they made an appointment today was Luoshi Street.
Because Qin Banrui's disappearance led to the decline of Red Xiu Zhao, Jiangzuo League also abandoned Miaoyinfang, so the two pillars of Luoshi Street were gone at once.
However, the most indispensable thing in a place like this is talent. Miaoyinfang and Hongxiuzhao failed, and soon new and better brothel courtesans appeared.
Zhou Chen's goal this time is a place called Baihualou. This is also a newly emerged brothel that has completely replaced Miaoyinfang and Hongxiuzhao. It has both entertainment and people.
When he arrived, Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui also arrived, and the three of them gathered in a private room.
"We haven't seen each other for almost a year. I thought you would have matured, Yujin, and wouldn't come to a place like this again, but I didn't expect that you haven't changed at all."
As soon as the three of them sat down, Xiao Jingrui shook his head at Yan Yujin and looked disappointed.
Yan Yujin shouted dissatisfied: "What do you know? I rarely come here. Last time someone invited me here. You also know that person, it's Prince Ji."
Xiao Jingrui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I forgot, Yujin, you and Prince Ji have been friends for many years."
Yan Yu said: "Stop talking about this, Jing Rui, please tell me your experience in Nanchu. I have grown so old and have never left Daliang. Even if I leave the boundaries of Jinling City, it will be a handful."
number."
Xiao Jingrui smiled and said: "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask Brother Yu. He has also been to Southern Chu, not just Southern Chu, Dayu, and Beiyan. Brother Yu has been to them all, right, Brother Yu."
Zhou Chen nodded and responded: "Yes, not only these countries, but also several small countries such as Donghai and Ye Qin, I have spent more or less time there; mainly because I used to wander around the world and wanted to go more
Some places open your eyes and gain more insights.”
"Oh, Brother Yu, I really envy you so much. If I can have an experience like yours in this life, I will die without any regrets."
Yan Yujin's face was full of envy. He was really envious. After all, there were not many people in the entire capital with experiences like Zhou Chen's.
Zhou Chen patted him and said, "How old are you? Don't talk about death all the time. The taste of death is much scarier than you think."
He is someone who has faced death directly, more than once, so he is very aware of the horror of death. Even though he has lived for hundreds of years, he has never thought about dying.
Yan Yujin looked at Zhou Chen curiously: "Brother Yu, what do you mean, have you ever faced death?"
When Xiao Jingrui heard that Yan Yujin even asked such a question, he scolded him dissatisfied: "Yujin."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhou Chen smiled and said nonchalantly: "Yu Jin is straightforward and has no bad intentions. And what he said is right. I have indeed experienced it, and more than once. When you see a companion next to you
Someone dies in front of you, even to save you. At that moment, you can really feel the despair."
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin looked at each other in confusion. They felt that Zhou Chen's tone had changed, full of vicissitudes and sadness.
"Brother Yu, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I just remembered what happened on the battlefield and felt a little emotional. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Today is the second day after Jingrui just came back. Be happy and have a drink."
Although Zhou Chen smiled and said he didn't care, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin both heard the key words in his words.
"Battlefield? Has Brother Yu ever been on the battlefield?"
But of course they didn't ask this question.
Next, Xiao Jingrui talked about his experiences in Southern Chu. In the middle, Zhou Chen also talked about some things about Southern Chu, Dayu and Beiyan, which made the 'bumpkin' Yan Yujin greatly envious.
After drinking and listening to music at Baihualou, the three of them left.
On the way back, Zhou Chen invited Xiao Jingrui: "Jingrui, would you like to come and sit at my house? I want to tell you something about Brother Su."
"Brother Su?"
Xiao Jingrui was already a bit tipsy, but when Zhou Chen mentioned Mei Changsu, he suddenly became energetic, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
"good."
Yan Yujin said happily: "I'll go too, I'll go too."
"Of course I won't forget you, let's go."
Zhou Chen brought Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin to his residence. After the servants prepared tea, Zhou Chen asked them to leave.
"Jing Rui, we came a little late today, otherwise we could have seen Brother Yu's two young masters. They are really cute."
Yan Yujin has been to Zhou Chen's place several times, met Dabao and Xiaobao, and liked him very much.
Xiao Jingrui said: "I heard about it too, but I was not in the capital during the full moon banquet, so I couldn't come to support you. Brother Yu, don't blame me."
"What's the point? You didn't come, but your thoughts were sent to me. That's enough."
Xiao Jingrui was an honest man, so he took the initiative to ask: "Brother Yu, you just said you wanted to tell me about Brother Su, what did you mean?"
