Chapter 125 Is it His Majesty?Zhao Jin! ! (Please subscribe)

When Yu Wu Yuemei learned that something was likely to happen to Cheng Guang.

Cheng Zhihai was also among the lantern holders, waiting anxiously, and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Zhihai's face was full of annoyance and self-blame.

"That day when I saw the people rising in the palace, they didn't do anything to Guang'er, so I thought nothing happened after that."

"Why did something like this suddenly happen again?"

"Perhaps not long after I left, someone boarded the flying boat and assassinated Guang'er. That person's strength had either reached the level of a heavenly being, or he had used special means. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to detect any movement."

"Who is it? Who can seize the opportunity so cleverly to attack Guang'er?"

Cheng Zhihai's face looked a little ugly, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

It is exactly the appearance of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

"Is it your Majesty...?"

Cheng Zhihai murmured to himself.

At this time when Cheng Guang may have died, Emperor Zhou gave him many chores, which prevented him from leaving Kyoto to investigate Cheng Guang's whereabouts.

It's hard to say what the Emperor of Zhou's intentions were.

Although Cheng Zhihai was unwilling to admit that it was the Emperor of Zhou who attacked Cheng Guang, all the signs at the moment were superficial. It was very likely that the Emperor of Zhou was behind this incident.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty did not give any explanation to Cheng Zhihai for this matter.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was an emperor after all. No matter how good his relationship was with the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there would inevitably be some separation between him and his ministers.

Cheng Zhihai thought of this, slowly clenched his fists, and suddenly wanted to get up and go to the palace to find the Emperor of Zhou, and ask him face to face if there was any shadow of the Emperor of Zhou behind this matter.

but……

A few breaths of time passed.

Cheng Zhihai's face darkened, and he took a slow breath. The idea of ​​questioning the Emperor of Zhou in person only arose for a moment, and then he quickly put it down again.

Just when he was about to use a subtle way to test Emperor Zhou's intentions, there was a sound of footsteps outside the palace.

Cheng Zhihai thought it was Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang who had returned, so he immediately raised his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the palace.

When he saw the figure running hurriedly from the door of the palace, Cheng Zhihai's old-fashioned and square face was suddenly startled.

"Yuemei? Why are you here?"

Cheng Zhihai looked at Yuemei running over, and was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Wu Yuemei's slightly haggard face, and his heart suddenly twitched.

He knew that Wu Yuemei already knew about this.

Wu Yuemei stared at Cheng Zhihai with her beautiful eyes, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Cheng Zhihai, let me ask you, why did you hide it from me? How is Guang'er doing now?"

"Didn't you send Qian Siyuan and the others to investigate? Is there any news now?"

Wu Yuemei spoke very slowly, but the anger in her tone was very strong, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

Wu Yuemei not only hid Cheng Zhihai from herself, but also did not tell her what Cheng Guang had encountered at this time.

Also angry at herself.

Wu Yuemei was angry that she couldn't help at all at this time.

No effort can be exerted at all.

Cheng Zhihai looked at Wu Yuemei's appearance and instinctively felt panic in his heart.

In front of Wu Yuemei, his image as the always majestic and selfless director of the Damp Holding Department was a bit unsustainable.

Dang even hurriedly said:

"Yuemei, don't worry, there is no accurate news about Guang'er yet. The news that Guang'er has been... is all nonsense. I don't know who is blind!"

Cheng Zhihai said, holding Wu Yuemei's hand and patting it gently, "Although I have been ordered by His Majesty not to leave Kyoto, I have also ordered Qian Siyuan and the others to investigate."

"They haven't come back yet. Maybe they will send us news later."

After the words fell, Cheng Zhihai quickly pulled Wu Yuemei to a chair aside and sat down. He poured a cup of tea for Wu Yuemei and put it to her mouth, hoping to let her drink some tea and relax.

Even though Cheng Zhihai had brought the teacup to Wu Yuemei's mouth, Wu Yuemei never opened her mouth.

He stared at Cheng Zhihai with cold eyes.

"Cheng Zhihai, let me ask you, why do you want people to hide it from me?"

"Not to mention what is happening to Guang'er at this time, if Guang'er is really... gone... are you planning to hide it from me for the rest of your life?"

Cheng Zhihai was a little at a loss when Wu Yuemei said this. He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to quibble about something, but before he had time to tell you, maybe the information was inaccurate.

But when the words came to his lips, Cheng Zhihai was speechless.

Cheng Zhihai knew that Wu Yuemei might have seen through his thoughts.

He sighed and whispered: "I'm not worried that you are too anxious. I can handle this kind of thing by myself."

Wu Yuemei raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, "Have you not even told your father about such a big thing?"

Cheng Zhihai's lips moved slightly, then he sighed again and nodded slightly.

Wu Yuemei stared at Cheng Zhihai closely, stared at him for a while, and then suddenly smiled.

"Okay, Cheng Zhihai, you plan to carry it alone and worry about it silently. No one in the family cares about Guang'er except you."

"Cheng Zhihai, you are the most amazing."

Cheng Zhihai's heart tightened again, and he hurriedly stepped forward, about to comfort him with something.

Wu Yuemei shook off Cheng Zhihai's hand, "Have you found anything now? There are only a few people in the entire Zhou Dynasty who can assassinate Guang'er."

"Except Qian Siyuan and the others, what else have you found out?"

Cheng Zhihai pursed his lips and was a little speechless. He just said half-hiddenly: "I have thought about who might have done it, but I'm not sure yet. I plan to go and take a look later."

Wu Yuemei asked: "Who is it?"

Cheng Zhihai was silent for a few breaths, then sighed and slowly said:

"Yuemei, I suspect that it may have been done by His Majesty."

After Cheng Zhihai finished speaking, Wu Yue's beautiful eyes shrank a bit, and her jade fingers clenched together tightly.

After Cheng Zhihai calmed down for a while, he said again: "His Majesty has always been wary of our Zhenguo Palace. Some time ago, he wanted to touch my lamp holder, but he failed."

"I originally thought that His Majesty would not have any thoughts about us anymore, but at this time, I don't know why, but I don't know what made His Majesty take action against Guang'er."

"When Guang'er left Kyoto and went to Taihao Sword Sect, there was a breath rising from the palace. After following him, I discovered that the person was the new Minister of Rites. He was following His Majesty's instructions to give Guang'er a gift. of."

"I saw that the man had no ill intentions, so he left."

"But who could have imagined that something like this would happen not long after I left."

"At this time, I was ordered by His Majesty not to leave Kyoto. Even if I wanted to set off to investigate, there was nothing I could do."

"With all these signs, it's hard to say that His Majesty's shadow is not behind him."

After Cheng Zhihai finished speaking, Wu Yuemei's face became increasingly ugly, with many different emotions in it.

There was silence for a few more breaths.

Wu Yuemei suddenly raised her head and stood up, her skirt flowing, her footsteps carrying the wind, and she walked quickly outside the palace.

Cheng Zhihai noticed Wu Yuemei's behavior, and for a moment he didn't know what Wu Yuemei was doing. He froze on the spot. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly got up and followed Wu Yuemei, intending to follow and have a look.

Cheng Zhihai knew that Wu Yuemei's mental state was very wrong at this time.

He was inexplicably worried about Wu Yuemei doing something stupid.

After following Wu Yuemei out of the main hall of the Lantern Holder, Cheng Zhihai saw Wu Yuemei getting on a jade chariot.

When Wu Yuemei came up to the jade chariot, Cheng Zhihai heard Wu Yuemei speak and spoke to the jade chariot bearer.

"Go to the palace."

The voice fell.

The jade chariot rose and flew straight towards the palace.

At this time, seeing Wu Yuemei going to the palace, Cheng Zhihai opened his eyes wide and subconsciously wanted to stop Wu Yuemei.

He could imagine that Wu Yuemei went to the palace this time, most likely to find His Majesty and ask whether His Majesty was involved in Guang'er's matter.

But Cheng Zhihai then thought about it, Wu Yuemei was the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no need to play any conspiracy with the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She just wanted to play straight.

The relationship between himself and the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was that of monarch and minister.

But Wu Yuemei is not.

Perhaps it would be the best choice for Wu Yuemei to ask Emperor Zhou directly to see what Emperor Zhou meant at this time.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhihai's expression was complicated.

Perhaps, telling Wu Yuemei from the beginning that it would be much better for everyone to think of ways and countermeasures together than for him to work alone.

Wu Yuemei was not as fragile as he thought.

Cheng Zhihai sighed, stepped on his vitality, and his body turned into a stream of light, following Wu Yuemei's jade chariot closely, and swept towards the palace.

…………

The Emperor Zhou's palace is connected to the outside world. Under the moonlight, you can see that the needles on the ancient pines still have a little bit of green.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was just about to ask the noble lady next to him to take off his clothes. When he was going to bed, there was a sudden noise outside the palace.

Emperor Zhou frowned slightly as he listened to the noise outside the palace. He really didn't expect that at this hour, someone would come to disturb him in his palace.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty said to the noble lady wearing a thin silk skirt next to him, asking her to wash up first and come back later. Then he opened the door and walked out of the room, looking outside.

"Princess Yuemei, Princess Yuemei, your majesty has already fallen asleep at this time, please don't disturb her."

Zhao Jin stopped in front of Princess Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai, his expression slightly bitter.

Princess Yue Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, "Get out of the way."

Zhao Jin looked embarrassed and looked at Cheng Zhihai as if asking for help.

But Cheng Zhihai had no reaction and remained silent.

When Zhao Jin saw Cheng Zhihai like this, he knew that Cheng Zhihai couldn't hold Princess Yuemei back either, or maybe he just didn't want to stop her at all.

Zhao Jin can also understand the mood of Princess Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai at this time. After all, the prince is likely to be dead. As parents, it is difficult for them to not care.

Cheng Zhihai is not a fool, and he will always find out that there is His Majesty's shadow behind this matter.

However, Cheng Zhihai still took some etiquette into account, and he was unlikely to break into the palace at this time.

This time, maybe she just took advantage of Princess Yuemei.

Zhao Jin was thinking about this, and his eyes fell on Wu Yuemei, just when he was about to say something.

Suddenly a majestic voice came from behind.

"Zhao Jin, get out of the way."

Zhao Jin was slightly startled when he heard the majestic voice coming from behind him, then quickly turned sideways and bowed respectfully to the Emperor of Zhou.

"His Majesty."

Emperor Zhou ignored Zhao Jin and instead focused all his attention on Wu Yuemei.

"Yue Mei came to see me, why?"

Emperor Zhou didn't even look at Cheng Zhihai as he spoke.

Cheng Zhihai had no intention of speaking and followed Wu Yuemei silently.

At this time, he seemed to have become a transparent person.

Wu Yuemei has a graceful air, wearing a blue-faced Luo skirt, wearing a long hairpin with fragrant beads on her head, and a little rouge, making her look luxurious and solemn.

But Wu Yuemei's eyes were full of exhaustion and sadness.

"Your Majesty, something happened to Guang'er."

Wu Yuemei spoke slowly.

When the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty heard this, he was startled at first, then his majestic face showed a hint of sadness, and he sighed slightly.

"Yuemei, you also know."

"Did Zhihai tell you this?"

As Emperor Zhou spoke, he glanced at Cheng Zhihai who was not far away.

Wu Yuemei didn't wait for Cheng Zhihai's answer, she shook her head and stared at the Emperor of Zhou.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let Cheng Zhihai leave Kyoto to find Guang'er."

Although Wu Yuemei heard from Cheng Zhihai that the Emperor of Zhou was probably behind Cheng Guang's accident, she did not come forward and directly asked the Emperor of Zhou whether he had done anything to Cheng Guang.

If you ask like this, regardless of whether this matter was done by the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, it is undoubtedly equivalent to breaking up.

Wu Yuemei always had some illusions about the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, thinking that he would not be so heartless.

Even his own nephew will be killed.

Emperor Zhou looked slightly startled when he listened to Wu Yuemei's question, and his eyes focused on Wu Yuemei, "Yuemei, did Zhihai ask you to ask me this?"

His words were not harsh.

But it put great pressure on Wu Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai.

Even if only a trace of the aura that belongs to the Heavenly Realm was revealed, the two of them felt like they were carrying a mountain, making them a little breathless.

Cheng Zhihai was fine.

But Wu Yuemei's face turned pale, but she still held on and looked at Emperor Zhou stubbornly, "It's me who asked!"

"Such a big thing happened to Guang'er. Your Majesty, it's fine that you didn't personally intervene. Are you not letting Cheng Zhihai leave Kyoto because you're afraid that Cheng Zhihai will find out something?"

"presumptuous!"

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty looked at Wu Yuemei, his tone was slightly stagnant, his breath was surging, and his face became gloomy.

Cheng Zhihai on the side stepped forward without hesitation, blocked Wu Yuemei behind him, lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, what Yuemei said was unintentional, I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."

Cheng Zhihai just finished speaking.

Wu Yuemei pushed Cheng Zhihai away from her with one hand, facing the aura of the Emperor of Zhou alone.

Even in the face of the surging aura from Emperor Zhou's body, which was as high as a mountain that could not be looked up to, Wu Yuemei's face still showed little fear.

bluntly:
"Your Majesty, just tell me if you did this."

this time.

There was silence everywhere, and all the palace maids and eunuchs around held their breaths, not daring to take a big breath. They knew that what Princess Yuebrow had done was over!
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has been in power for a long time and has accumulated far-reaching power. No one dares to point out his power!
Even if the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty allowed the public to speak freely and allowed the officials to speak as they pleased, those who dared to truly disobey the Emperor's orders would not survive the next day.

If Emperor Zhou was angry at this time, even Wu Yuemei would probably suffer a lot.

In this eerie silence.

Wu Yuemei was not afraid at all, and stared at the Emperor of Zhou without squinting.

Facing Wu Yuemei's gaze, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty first looked away, not knowing whether it was due to softness or guilt, and the surging breath in his body began to calm down.

He glanced lightly at Cheng Zhihai who was not far away. His eyes instantly changed and became much colder.

"Zhihai, please take Yuemei back."

There seemed to be a warning in his tone.

Cheng Zhihai's heart sank a little, and he couldn't help but lower his head suddenly, not daring to look at the face of Emperor Zhou again.

"Yuemei..."

Cheng Zhihai pulled Wu Yuemei and persuaded Wu Yuemei to leave.

The current attitude of Emperor Zhou can already prove a lot of things.

It doesn't make much sense for the Emperor of Zhou to admit this personally.

What if you admit it?

So what if you don't admit it?
Cheng Zhihai suddenly felt very powerless.

But Wu Yuemei didn't care so much and waved Cheng Zhihai away with one hand, preventing him from touching her.

His eyes were fixed on the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

It seemed like she wouldn't leave without getting an answer.

Emperor Zhou paid no attention to Wu Yuemei and slowly stood up and left.

At the moment when the door of the Emperor Zhou's palace was closed.

Wu Yuemei's body suddenly became much softer.

His stubborn look could no longer be maintained.

Her beautiful eyes trembled, and tears could not help but flow out.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty neither admitted nor denied it.

All these signs have shown that his presence is behind this matter.

Why did he do this?
Wu Yuemei really didn't understand.

"Martial Arts Merchant!"

Wu Yuemei was silent for a moment, and then let out a hoarse cry.

"For the sake of the stability of the throne, in addition to missing the prince, you killed all the princes who threatened your throne!"

"Is that not enough?"

"Now the Zhenguo Palace has become a thorn in your side. Is it a thorn in your flesh?"

"Do you have to kill everyone in the Zhen Guo Duke's mansion, except for the Zhen Guo Duke, before you are willing to do so!?"

Wu Yuemei spoke very quickly.

Cheng Zhihai wanted to stop him, but he couldn't.

After Wu Yuemei finished speaking, an extremely cold and angry atmosphere filled the palace of Emperor Zhou.

The wind was blowing all around and the wind was blowing coldly.

Wu Yuemei's words obviously touched the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty stood behind the palace door, his face darkened, and his breathing could not help but become heavier.

"Cheng Zhihai, take Yuemei back!!"

The Emperor Zhou's voice was very soft, but his tone was extremely stern.

Cheng Zhihai dared to take Wu Yuemei and leave. If Wu Yuemei continued to talk like this, he didn't know what Wu Yuemei would say.

Your Majesty has not yet pierced the window paper, giving the Zhenguo Government a little room for relaxation.

If it is really exposed.

No matter how much the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty wanted to give up, he could only execute everyone from the top to the bottom of the Zhenguo Palace.

By then, if the Duke of Zhen rebels again.

The whole week will be in chaos.

Cheng Zhihai took Wu Yuemei away. No matter how Wu Yuemei beat his body, no matter how Wu Yuemei bit his shoulder, Cheng Zhihai didn't react much.

Silently, he took Wu Yuemei and left.

He valued Cheng Guang as much as Wu Yuemei.

But right now.

No matter how painful it is, so what?
The current attitude of Emperor Zhou was equivalent to acquiescence.

Even if there is no evidence, it can be believed that although the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not do it himself, it is very likely that there is the shadow of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

but.

Even if there is evidence that it was the Emperor of Zhou who did it himself, so what?

The emperor of Zhou Dynasty was a man of heaven.

And his strength is only at the ninth-level Martial Emperor realm.

If the Emperor of Zhou was really anxious and slapped him with a palm, the two of them would have no room for resistance.

Cheng Zhihai sighed and murmured: "Shall we send a message to dad?"

Cheng Zhihai said this.

Wu Yuemei, who had been biting Cheng Zhihai's shoulder, fell silent.

A summons was sent to Duke Zhen. Once Duke Zhen learned about Cheng Guang's death, he also knew that the Emperor of Zhou was likely to be involved behind the incident.

It is very likely that the army will be sent south immediately, aiming directly at Kyoto.

The peace that had just been restored in the Great Zhou Dynasty would soon be overshadowed by war again.Although the Zhenguo Palace was strong, its foundation was still slightly weak compared to the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Once the Zhenguo Duke goes south, it will be a fatal situation.

Perhaps the purpose of the Emperor Zhou's move was to force the Duke of Zhen to rebel, and to take advantage of the situation and legitimately take the Northern Expedition into his own hands.

Wu Yuemei was confused, frowning as if she had a headache, lying helplessly behind Cheng Zhihai, and shook her head.

"Wu Shang has changed. Since he became the emperor, he has become something I don't even recognize."

"It's your decision whether you want to inform dad or not."

When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he was silent for a few breaths.

Standing in mid-air, with Wu Yuemei on his back, looking down at the majestic Zhou Palace under the moonlight, his expression was complicated.

After a while.

Cheng Zhihai sighed, carrying Wu Yuemei on his back, and walked slowly towards the Zhenguo Palace.

…………

When Cheng Zhihai left with Wu Yuemei on his back, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty had his back to the palace door, his hands trembling faintly under the sleeves of his bright yellow dragon robe.

His face was majestic and cold, without much expression.

But from the movements of his hands, it can be seen that his heart is not as peaceful as his own.

"Your Majesty, what happened outside? Why is Princess Yuemei here?" After washing, the imperial concubine walked over slowly, with a graceful figure, and then stretched out her hands to undress the Emperor of Zhou.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty didn't move much, he just raised his hands slightly so that the lady could undress him.

After undressing.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was lying on the bed, silent and taciturn, facing the charming lady, but he had little interest.

He looked at the bright moon outside the window and suddenly murmured to himself:
"Did I do something wrong..."

Emperor Zhou rubbed his forehead, and when he put down his hand, he tied up his hair in front of his forehead.

Suddenly noticed.

During this time, the half head of white hair on his forehead became noticeably more gray.

"My time is running out."

"The Zhenguo Palace may be stable during my time, but once I pass the throne to Wu Ling, how can she suppress the Zhenguo Palace, how can she suppress the Zhenguo Palace, and how can she suppress the world? Minister."

"The scepter she is about to take over is full of thorns and barbs. She can't hold it, so I will pull out all the thorns and barbs."

Emperor Zhou murmured.

The lady on the side came over again.

The Emperor of Zhou took a deep breath, suddenly held up the imperial concubine with one hand, and turned over with a slight cry of surprise and joy.

…………

This night was not peaceful.

A piece of news spread to the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the battlefield of the territory.

The Duke of Zhen was furious and prepared to send his army south.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was on the move.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty seemed to have expected that, except for the Northern Expeditionary Army, the other four elephant armies and the Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all stationed near Kyoto, ready to welcome Duke Zhenguo.

In the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the people of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty did not understand what was happening, it seemed that the Duke of Zhen was going to rebel.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had long expected that the Zhenguo Guild might rebel, so he took the first step and sent troops from all parties to station near Kyoto.

Clouds are moving in all directions, and the wind and clouds are changing color.

After careful inquiring by all parties, they discovered that the death of Prince Zhenguo was most likely caused by the Emperor of Zhou.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty wanted to uproot the government of Zhenguo.

Therefore, the Duke of Zhen was furious and sent his army southward, aiming directly at Kyoto.

All forces felt that a bloodbath might be about to take place between the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and Duke Zhen Guo.

the next day.

Another piece of news suddenly came out.

Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang of the Zhenguo Palace, who were out investigating, reported that the prince was not in trouble and had arrived at the Taihao Sword Sect safely.

The reason for not showing up this time is because he stayed in Taihao Sword Sect for some time.

After this news came out, all the forces were suddenly dumbfounded again. Everyone who was originally prepared to watch a good show and follow behind to reap the benefits suddenly felt that the farce in front of them might be the Emperor of Zhou. A scene performed jointly with Zhen Guogong?

Is there such a thing as the death of the Duke of Zhenguo?

Why does it take so long to verify?

The Emperor of Zhou was not that stupid, right?
If it was really his hand that killed the prince, how could he not know?

The Duke of Zhen is not that stupid, right?
He doesn't know whether his own eldest son is dead.

Is it necessary for this kind of thing to spread the news that the prince is not dead? ?

Is someone deliberately hiding something? ? ?
For a time, various forces speculated and discussed endlessly.

…………

A round of autumn shadow turns to golden waves, and the flying mirror is polished again.

The condensed moonlight fell faintly like cold dew, making the autumn blue sky appear cold.

But it was not cold in Cheng Guang's courtyard.

Cheng Guang and Ning Qianxue sat at the stone table, looking up at the moon.

Ning Qianxue leaned on her head and looked at the full moon in the sky.

There is not a cloud in the sky, and there is not a ray of wind. It is a good time to admire the moon.

"Your Majesty, look at the sky. It's really dark, but the stars around you are so bright and dazzling. My mother said before that after death, people may become stars in the sky. I don't know what the stars in the sky are like. Which one is my mother..."

"I liked looking at the sky when I was a child, and I would often look at it all day long..."

Ning Qianxue admired the bright moon in the sky and kept mumbling something, but there was no response from Cheng Guang.

Only Qingluan behind Cheng Guang would smile and nod in response from time to time.

After Ning Qianxue chatted with Qingluan for a few more words, she turned her attention to Cheng Guang next to her.

I saw Cheng Guang on the stone table, looking through some letters, nodding slightly from time to time, shaking his head and laughing from time to time.

This made Ning Qianxue look confused. She didn't know what Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, was looking at to make such an expression.

Qingluan on the side didn't quite understand, but the prince didn't say anything, so she didn't ask in detail.

Cheng Guang put the letter away, raised his eyes slightly, noticed the gazes of Ning Qianxue and Qingluan beside him, smiled and shook his head, without explaining, he just said.

"We will go back now, Qingluan, just pack your luggage."

When Qingluan heard what Cheng Guang said, he asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, are you in such a hurry?"

Cheng Guang smiled and said: "If you don't go back now, you won't be able to watch the show soon."

Qingluan was confused after listening to Cheng Guang's words. What's the show?
Qingluan wanted to hear Cheng Guang explain in detail, but Cheng Guang had no intention of continuing, which made Qingluan feel a little sad again.

The prince has become a mysterious person again.

Although Qingluan felt a little sad in his heart, he was also very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He got up and went to pack his luggage.

Ning Qianxue heard Cheng Guang's words and knew that Cheng Guang was going back tonight. She probably wanted to go back with Cheng Guang. After leaving, she didn't know how long it would take to return to Taihao Sword Sect.

Thinking about it, I feel a little disappointed.

A lot of sad emotions arose in Ning Qianxue's heart, as if she had transformed into a literary girl, with a little more melancholy.

Cheng Guang looked at Ning Qianxue's appearance at this time, smiled and shook his head, and was about to say something to Ning Qianxue.

Several figures came from a distance.

The leader is Ning Liang.

When Ning Liang saw Cheng Guang at the stone table in the courtyard, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly lowered himself to Cheng Guang and said hello: "Your Majesty, do you know everything outside?"

Cheng Guang nodded slightly.

As expected, Ning Liang was not surprised.

He smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, let me tell you why you wanted to stay in Taihao Sword Sect for a longer time. The world outside was already in chaos at this time. Duke Zhen Guo and Emperor Zhou almost started fighting because of you, Your Majesty. .”

"My prince, you were assassinated by the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and have already perished."

"The prince is intact now, how could such ridiculous rumors spread."

Ning Liang said with a puzzled look on his face.

The prince had only stayed in his own Taihao Sword Sect for a while, and such ridiculous remarks came out from outside.

If we stay longer, we don't know what the consequences will be.

Cheng Guang listened to Ning Liang's words and nodded with a smile.

Ning Liang didn't know much.

He didn't know that Emperor Zhou really sent someone to assassinate Cheng Guang.

Although Ning Liang had met Zhao Jin on the flying boat, he did not connect Zhao Jin with the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty or with any assassination.

After all, the scene at the scene was indeed a bit strange.

If Zhao Jin came to assassinate him, how could he be intact and even be able to chat and laugh with the prince?

Ning Liang was thinking in his heart, looked at Cheng Guang and said, "Your Majesty, if we leave tonight, won't we be too late?"

"Should we wait until dawn tomorrow before setting off?"

Cheng Guang shook his head, "No need, Uncle Ning, I've been here for a while."

When Ning Liang saw Cheng Guang's words, he did not try to persuade him. Instead, he took the initiative to order someone to pack Cheng Guang's luggage.

During the time that Cheng Guang came to Taihao Sword Sect, he stayed in Ning Qianxue's courtyard for a while, rarely having contact with outsiders, and there was no bloody incident of pretending to be slapped in the face.

This journey was very easy.

After half an hour.

Ning Qianxue changed into a bright red wedding dress and was picked up by Cheng Guang on the flying boat, which drove all the way towards Kyoto in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The purpose of this trip is mainly to welcome the bride.

Don't forget this.

When Cheng Guang drove the flying boat towards Kyoto.

On the city wall of Kyoto, the Emperor of Zhou stood with his hands behind his back.

His majestic and cold eyes looked through the thick night at the Imperial Army stationed within several miles of Kyoto, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"Zhao Jin."

"Have you heard what's going on in the world right now?"

Zhao Jin, who was beside the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands in salute, and couldn't help but shed large beads of sweat on his forehead, and responded anxiously:
"Your Majesty, I don't know."

The Emperor of Zhou withdrew his eyes from the imperial guards in the distance, and his eyes fell on Zhao Jin, his voice slightly cold.

"Everyone in the world is now spreading rumors that the prince Zhenguo is not dead at all. Everything is a misunderstanding."

"The Duke of Zhenguo, who had originally planned to go south, returned with the Northern Expeditionary Army. Just now, he wrote me a memorial, saying that everything is fine with him at the border and that I don't need to worry about him."

"Tell me, if the prince of Zhen Guo Gong is really dead, will Zhen Guo Gong behave like this?"

Zhao Jin's face tightened slightly, and he became more and more nervous, "Your Majesty, there are all rumors and rumors at the moment, and they cannot be taken seriously."

"The Duke of Zhenguo did this, maybe because he was afraid of His Majesty, or maybe because he knew that he would definitely die if he went south."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou glanced at Zhao Jin, and then slowly looked back.

He didn't believe what Zhao Jin said.

Duke Zhen Guo is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is a being who was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. How can he care about his life and death?

Cheng Guang's death may be the most fatal blow to Duke Zhen.

The Emperor of Zhou himself did not believe that if Cheng Guang, the eldest son of Duke Zhen Guo, died, Duke Zhen Guo would be able to endure it.

Why on earth did he go back?
Is it just a moment of delay, planning to wait until I relax my vigilance before attacking me?
In just a short while, Emperor Zhou had already thought a lot.

He looked at the sky in the distance and suddenly thought of something again. His eyes fell on Zhao Jin, "How are Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei doing now?"

Zhao Jin quickly replied: "He is still in the Zhenguo Duke's mansion and has not done anything."

"Since Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang returned home some time ago, their mood has improved a lot."

"It seems that... the prince did not die."

When Zhao Jin said this, the corner of his mouth twitched secretly.

He is really feeling uncomfortable now.

He knew that Emperor Zhou trusted him very much.

Zhao Jin himself said that he would kill Cheng Guang. In the eyes of Emperor Zhou, it must be to kill Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo.

Even if Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, had many means, he could not survive from Zhao Jin, a strong man in the ninth-level Martial Emperor realm.

not to mention.

Zhao Jin is also a person who is particularly good at using restraints.

With the restriction in place, Zhao Jin would not be unable to fight even in the Heaven-Human realm.

Zhao Jin felt very uncomfortable at this time. To deceive the Emperor of Zhou was to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, and his life was very likely to be in danger.

There is an even more important reason.

Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang came back and brought back the news that the prince was fine.

No matter what Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei of Zhenguo Palace think in their hearts, at least they believe it on the surface.

The Duke of Zhen also believed it.

The Emperor of Zhou accomplished only half of his purpose.

The prince may return to Kyoto soon.

By then, no lies can be concealed.

The Emperor of Zhou didn't know how he would treat himself.

When he thought of this, Zhao Jin just felt like he wanted to die.

He stood quietly behind Emperor Zhou, not daring to say anything.

The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty did not leave the walls of Kyoto immediately, he was waiting.

When the Duke of Zhen shows up, maybe the Northern Expeditionary Army shows up.

Time passed minute by minute.

The night gradually recedes, and the earth is gently embraced by the glimmer of morning light.

The outline of the mountains in the distance gradually became clearer, and the color of the sky began to change, from deep black to elegant blue.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had such a high level of cultivation that even if he didn't sleep for several days, he would not feel a trace of fatigue.

Gaze into the distance.

Under his majestic and cold gaze, he suddenly saw a small black spot slowly appearing at the junction of the sky.

Emperor Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly, before he could clearly see the appearance of the small black dot in the distance.

Two breaths came from afar.

Emperor Zhou felt the aura of the visitor, frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but did not say anything. His eyes fell on the person beside him.

The visitors were none other than Cheng Zhihai and Qian Siyuan.

Cheng Zhihai saluted the Emperor of Zhou respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhou nodded slightly, his majestic eyes fell on Cheng Zhihai, and after a moment of deep thought, he slowly said:
"Zhihai, don't you blame me?"

The meaning of Emperor Zhou's words is obvious.

Your son was killed by me.

Don't you blame me?

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had no intention of completely eradicating the Zhenguo Palace.

what he wants to do.

He just wants to pull out the roots of the Zhenguo Palace and take back his power.

If he really succeeds in getting things done, then one person from the Zhenguo Palace will be enough for him to eat a pot.

The Emperor of Zhou could be very hateful, but he was not stupid.

When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he acted as if he didn't understand what the Emperor of Zhou was saying, and replied: "Your Majesty has done nothing wrong, so why do you say this?"

Emperor Zhou stared at Cheng Zhihai for a long time.

He suddenly felt.

At this moment, Cheng Zhihai suddenly looked very different from the way he had come to his dormitory a few days ago.

Don't be in a hurry.

There was still a little joy on his face.

Although the joy was not obvious, was it too sudden for this joy to appear on Cheng Zhihai at this time?
Is it true that the Crown Prince Zhen Guo is not dead? ?
A bad premonition suddenly arose in Emperor Zhou's heart.

He glanced at Zhao Jin standing aside again.

Zhao Jin noticed the gaze of Emperor Zhou and quickly responded with a respectful smile.

Don't dare take any offense.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty saw Zhao Jin looking so hopeless when facing him. He knew that Zhao Jin was unlikely to lie to him, and he felt a little more at ease.

After a while, he asked Cheng Zhihai:
"Zhihai, have you encountered any happy events recently?"

Cheng Zhihai smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? My son is getting married during this time."

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he raised his brows slightly, and then nodded slightly, that's what happened.

but.

Isn't it that Cheng Guang, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, is dead?

Do you really think he can come back alive?

The majestic face of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty did not change at all.

Cheng Zhihai then continued:
"He went to Taihao Sword Sect to welcome his bride, and he will be back soon."

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhihai looked into the distance and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am here to pick up Guang'er this time. Look, he is back."

Cheng Zhihai pointed towards the distance.

Where the sea of ​​clouds meets the early sun in the distance, the small black dot that appears in the distance is gradually getting bigger.

Gradually.

It turns into a flying boat.

And on the deck of the flying boat, there stood an unparalleled and handsome nobleman.

Zhao Jin, who was beside Emperor Zhou, looked at the figure appearing in the distance and couldn't help taking a breath. He couldn't help raising his hands to cover his face with his sleeves.

Although he did not look at the Emperor of Zhou.

But he could guess how ugly the Zhou Emperor's face looked at this time.

At first, Emperor Zhou didn't notice the figure on the flying boat in the distance.

But when he saw the figure appearing on the deck of the flying boat in the distance, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

His face, which had always been dignified and cold, looked slightly moved.

At the same time, my breathing also got a little heavier!
This! !

how can that be! !
"Zhao Jin!!!"

Emperor Zhou's voice was a little heavy, and he suddenly turned to look at Zhao Jin.
