After leaving the chamber of secrets.
Long Xiaoyuan saw that Shi Qingzhou was thinking, so he went back to the room with him.
After arriving at the room, Long Xiaoyuan held his queen's hand. "Qingzhou, are you unhappy?"
Shi Qingzhou didn't answer this question, but asked instead: "When do you want to leave?"
Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and said, "Tonight."
"Leave with whom?" Shi Qingzhou asked again.
Long Xiaoyuan asked back: "What do you think?"
Shi Qingzhou didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be suppressing something silently.
Finally, Shi Qingzhou lowered his eyelids and lowered his face, Long Xiaoyuan found that he couldn't see the other person's expression.
So, Long Xiaoyuan simply lifted the man's chin. "Qingzhou, are you unhappy?"
It's the same question I asked when I came in.
Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan fixedly this time, and said slowly: "It's not that he's unhappy, it's just... I don't know why, I always feel like something unexpected will happen."
Long Xiaoyuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled. "Is Qingzhou worried about my safety?"
Shi Qingzhou didn't deny it, but nodded very straightforwardly. "Well, you're right, I do worry about your safety."
Such a light boat really made Long Xiaoyuan feel extremely cute.
So, he stretched out his hand, stroked the other's cheek lightly, and then kissed him slowly.
Perhaps because he knew that there was a short separation, Shi Qingzhou did not refuse the other party's kiss.
This kiss, Long Xiaoyuan almost lost control!
In the end, Shi Qingzhou's eyes flickered again and again before he took the initiative to push him away.
Long Xiaoyuan felt very unsatisfied with this, but he also knew that time was running out.
So, thinking that the two of them would have to be separated for a while, Long Xiaoyuan hugged Shi Qingzhou heartbroken. "Qingzhou, what can be unexpected? We are not exposed now. In terms of danger, staying here is more dangerous than me."
Shi Qingzhou said slowly: "Have you ever thought about a question?"
"What?"
"Fang Shuoyang's manpower, he came from the Yuelong Dynasty, he brought not many people, but there are more than 20 people, these people are all shadow guards, during the period, a few died, but there are many left, These people are now in the Fourth Prince's Mansion... "
"Yeah. I've thought about it." Long Xiaoyuan said softly. "Although Fang Shuoyang said that these people were brought out of the castle by him, there are still a few people who met on the road. Although they are from the Yuelong Dynasty, they are all celibate, and now they all submit to him. Now Fang Shuoyang is four Prince, those people are just servants, and no one has caught any braids. But if they are used by someone with a heart, or their identity as the shadow guard of the Yuelong Dynasty is revealed, Fang Shuoyang will be in bad luck."
"Well. Before the Shadow Guards and the others were outside, they were followed by someone."
"Yes, I've thought about this. But the light boat, it's okay."
"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou frowned, "No problem?"
"Yes, it's okay." Long Xiaoyuan kissed the corner of Shi Qingzhou's mouth, and said softly.
Shi Qingzhou frowned. "How to say?"
"Since Fang Shuoyang said that those people are guards, then they are the guards in Tianyin Castle! Nothing else. In addition, as long as Fang Shuoyang does not act treasonously, it doesn't matter."
"But what if someone fakes it?" Shi Qingzhou expressed his concern. "You should know that evidence can be faked."
"But it will take time." Long Xiaoyuan smiled.
Shi Qingzhou was slightly taken aback. "time… "
"Yes, Qingzhou, we are fighting for this time now. Zhou Suye won't do it now, so it will be after King Zhou's birthday. Moreover, Zhou Suye doesn't have the courage to do it now. You know, Fang Shuoyang is the prince. , the only prince who competed with him, you said, Fang Shuoyang was splashed with dirty water, who else would others focus on besides Fang Shuoyang?"
Shi Qingzhou was silent.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "Then it's only him, Zhou Suye."
"Furthermore." Long Xiaoyuan continued to smile slightly: "Now Zhou Suye's foundation in the court is very unstable, and he himself is equivalent to a guilty body, so the matter of the shadow guard will not be a problem now. "
Shi Qingzhou pondered.
Long Xiaoyuan said again: "Of course, I don't deny it. After a long time, this will indeed be the biggest hidden danger. As long as it can be confirmed that these shadow guards come from the Yuelong Dynasty Palace. So, I think Zhou Suye personally contacted the outsiders." Shadow Guard may not have such thoughts. However, the only thing he and King Zhou think wrong is that they think that Fang Shuoyang will slowly cultivate his foundation and compete with them slowly, but it is not true. We are always looking for Here's the chance."
"Long Xiaoyuan, I have another plan." Shi Qingzhou suddenly said in a deep voice.
"What?" Long Xiaoyuan asked immediately.
"I know that you want Zhou Suye to go to the border to contain him, and then we will return after we settle Hu and Huangcheng together. Your plan is relatively conservative and the risk is not great. However, it will take too long. "
Looking at Shi Qingzhou's firm eyes, Long Xiaoyuan was slightly taken aback. "Qingzhou... you want to..."
"Two-pronged approach to design a big picture. When dealing with the prince of the Northern Kingdom, Zhou Suye was killed together. At the same time, here in the imperial city, King Zhou died suddenly."
Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath. "If this is the case... then everyone knows that Fang Shuoyang has a problem, which is not good for his rule."
"It's just unfavorable, but as long as he is picked clean on the bright side, or let Fang Shuoyang make great contributions at the border. Moreover, let Zhou Wang die at the hands of the people of the North Kingdom. Then, even if a smart person understands the blood and rain in it The wind, but Fang Shuoyang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, allied with Dongye Kingdom, and defeated the North Kingdom. Only Dongye Kingdom and Yuelong Dynasty remained in this world. Then, who dares to say more? How can people in the world know who is right? ?”
Long Xiaoyuan fell silent.
Shi Qingzhou stared fixedly at Long Xiaoyuan with deep eyes.
After a long time, when Shi Qingzhou thought that Long Xiaoyuan would refuse, the person in front of him smiled faintly. "Okay, then we will set a detailed plan for this ambitious goal."
Shi Qingzhou's eyes lit up slightly. "Long Xiaoyuan..."
"You are my queen and my general. You want the world to expand, so how can I disagree? Besides, the Northern Kingdom has wanted our territory for a long time? If you don't fight back, think we are vegetarians ?”
Shi Qingzhou smiled. "good."
Long Xiaoyuan also smiled, and then his expression became serious. "If this is the case, Qingzhou, you should know... How dangerous the plan is, a careless..."
Shi Qingzhou's eyes are firm. "I know, but, to achieve great things, mind, courage, luck, and manpower are indispensable. The right time, place and people are harmonious, and we have all three."
"The right time, place and people..." Long Xiaoyuan let out a long breath. "You're right, we have all three of these!"
That night, Long Xiaoyuan, a shadow guard, and Wang Shu left.
Wang Shu's temperament is relatively delicate, and besides, his martial arts are only inferior to Wang Qi's. Wang Qi is indispensable for any action here, so Shi Qingzhou chose him.
The other shadow guard was also chosen by Shi Qingzhou. Ranking and martial arts are both high.
Shadow Wind is still with Tian Xiangzi.
On the third day after Long Xiaoyuan left, Tian Xiangzi came to the fourth prince's mansion in the middle of the night.
Fang Shuoyang saw him, and Shi Qingzhou and another shadow guard guarded the study as guards.
Tian Xiangzi once secretly said that he had important matters to discuss with Fang Shuoyang, so if he wanted Shi Qingzhou and the shadow guard to stay outside the study.
However, Fang Shuoyang directly refused.
"My prince's people, my prince firmly believes in it." With this sentence, Tian Xiangzi was sent away.
On the contrary, Fang Shuoyang's underlying meaning is that I trust my subordinates and don't trust you, so no matter how big a secret you have, I will definitely want my subordinates to be there, whether you like to talk about it or not.
Can Tian Xiangzi not say it? No, Tian Xiangzi came here just for this cooperation plan, why didn't she say anything
So, Tian Xiangzi still said it.
On this day, Tian Xiangzi stayed in Fang Shuoyang's study for half an hour.
When Tian Xiangzi left, Fang Shuoyang said something very seriously. "I will seriously consider it."
After confirming that Tianxiangzi had left, Fang Shuoyang asked the other shadow guard to leave, leaving Shi Qingzhou alone. The two entered the dark room of the study, and then began to talk.
Tianxiangzi came to bring some news.
One is that Zhu Qingzi was killed by her, so she will not cause trouble in the future.
Fang Shuoyang was not interested in the cause and manner of Zhu Qingzi's death. But what was frightening was that Shadow Wind did not spread the news.
That is to say, Tian Xiangzi may have killed Zhu Qingzi with his own hands, or it may have been Tian Xiangzi's other subordinates, but he didn't know about Yingfeng who was with him all the time.
Tian Xiangzi is a woman who should not be underestimated!
In addition, Tian Xiangzi revealed a message that she has someone in the palace. On Zhou Wang's birthday, she will attack him and ask to cooperate with Fang Shuoyang.
The other news really made Fang Shuoyang... don't know what to say.
In the end, Fang Shuoyang could only say that he would seriously consider it.
"Brother Shi, what do you think?" Fang Shuoyang said.
Although Long Xiaoyuan left, Fang Shuoyang knew about the crazy plan he had discussed with Shi Qingzhou.
However, Xu You didn't know.
The matter is of great importance. If Xu You also goes to the border with them, they are afraid that Xu You, who is not good at acting, may be seen as strange. They really want to deal with King Zhou, and it is best to use a knife to kill people, but not now.
Now that King Zhou is dead, Dongye Kingdom will only be in chaos, which is not good for them.
What Fang Shuoyang wants to take over is a stable court, not... chaotic.
Shi Qingzhou squinted his eyes. "As soon as King Zhou's birthday is over, you and Huhe Huangcheng are about to leave for the border. From what I can see now, King Zhou doesn't intend to let Zhou Suye go with us. Although we have a plan, it's not safe. Birthday, Might be available."
"But..." Fang Shuoyang was a little worried, "Tian Xiangzi's purpose is to kill people..."
Shi Qingzhou looked at Fang Shuoyang, and said suddenly: "The reason why Tian Xiangzi came to us in the first place was to take revenge. She has a grudge against the royal family of Dongye Kingdom. All along, what she has done is against the royal family of Dongye Kingdom." Unfavorable things... But, think about it, if King Zhou is assassinated on King Zhou's birthday, who will benefit?"
Fang Shuoyang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then he thought carefully following Shi Qingzhou's words.
After a while, Fang Shuoyang gasped. "Is it the North Country?"
Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "Before we suspected the appearance of evil things, both Dongye Kingdom and Beiguo were involved. Later we suspected that the evil things had something to do with Tian Xiangzi, for this reason, Shadow Wind was also sent there. If our suspicion It's all true. If Dongye Kingdom participated in it, but only participated... Then, what kind of connection do you think Tianxiangzi has with Beiguo? After all, among the three, Tianxiangzi and Dongye Kingdom have enmity .”
Fang Shuoyang suddenly felt a little cold sweat on his forehead.
"Tianxiangzi... Her real identity may be from the North Kingdom. Huhe Huangcheng has shown interest in Xu You, and the source of Xu You he knows may be Tianxiangzi! He appears in Dongye Kingdom like this now , It can be explained that he is bold, it can be explained that he is sincere, and he doesn't even care about being a proton. However, it can also be explained that he has a hole card, and his hole card makes him very confident!"
Shi Qingzhou nodded and only said two words. "That's right."
"Then, what happened to Zhu Qingzi?" Fang Shuoyang murmured. "Zhu Qingzi and Tian Xiangzi are sisters. Tian Xiangzi once said that he and Zhu Qingzi have some differences in philosophy...Brother Shi, do you think that Zhu Qingzi is really dead?"
"Dead must be dead. Whether it is dead or alive, there is no need for Tian Xiangzi to lie to us. But why he died, I don't know."
Fang Shuoyang was silent.
Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "From now on, we must be highly alert to Tian Xiangzi. In addition, I am thinking, should we take a risky move."
Fang Shuoyang was taken aback. "How to say?"
"Bring the existence of Tianxiangzi to King Zhou, and let him take precautions. Let's watch the show."
Fang Shuoyang was taken aback again.
Shi Qingzhou said slowly: "Whether King Zhou knows about the existence of Tianxiangzi is hard to say. It is very possible that King Zhou didn't know about it before, but if Tianxiangzi really has something to do with the North Kingdom, then he may know sooner or later... For example, If Tianxiangzi's assassination fails. Or, Huhe Huangcheng has a second plan, and the birthday assassination is just a cover."
Fang Shuoyang thought intensely in his mind. He thought a lot, but his mind was a little messed up.
However, Fang Shuoyang knew that at this moment, he was the one who couldn't be messed up the most.
After a long time, Fang Shuoyang said softly: "Brother Shi, when do you think I should go see King Zhou?"
"It's not too late, let's do it now."
Fang Shuoyang took a deep breath. "good."
"But you have to go there in secret, so that no one can find out. You modify it directly, and then use the modified appearance to go."
"Okay." Fang Shuoyang clenched his fists.
"Now, let's think about rhetoric..."
So, an hour later, Fang Shuoyang came to the palace disguised as a guard.
However, what he showed was the prince's waist card. The guards were surprised and wanted to salute, but Fang Shuoyang said quickly: "Don't salute, if the prince comes here to ask to see the emperor, but let no one know."
The guard immediately felt that something serious had happened, so he just let it go.
Fang Shuoyang came all the way to the inside of the palace, and saw King Zhou who was still working late at night.
King Zhou was also surprised to see Fang Shuoyang appearing like this. "Shuoyang, why do you look like this?"
Fang Shuo knelt down violently. "Father, my son is guilty."
King Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly. "what happened?"
"Father, do you know Qinghuo Tianzun?" Fang Shuoyang asked eagerly.
Zhou Wang was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "I know the master of heaven in the rivers and lakes, what's wrong?"
"Father, Qinghuo Tianzun saved the son's mother when the son was born..."
Fang Shuoyang told about the relationship between Qinghuo Tianzun and him, without concealing anything, and then talked about Tianxiangzi.
He also talked about the fact that Tian Xiangzi appeared by his side, saying that Tian Xiangzi appeared at first to help the son of an old friend, etc. He said he wanted to help me, but at that time I didn’t want to return to the royal family. I came to Dongye Kingdom just to find out my background. I didn’t want to be a prince. I'm used to the world. Therefore, I was faintly even guarded against the appearance of Tianxiangzi. But later, Father should know that I have been assassinated several times, and the most dangerous one was that my lover Xu You was almost assassinated. It was Tian Xiangzi who saved him. At that time, I also saw Zhu Qingzi. It’s just that I didn’t know that Zhu Qingzi was an assassin at that time. I only know that Tian Xiangzi and Zhu Qingzi fought, and later, Zhu Qingzi ran away Tian Xiangzi said that although they were sisters, they didn't have a good relationship. Zhu Qingzi even wanted her to die. At that time, although Erchen was grateful to Tian Xiangzi for saving Xu You, he was not interested in her personal affairs. Afterwards, Tian Xiangzi disappeared. Later, my son knew that Zhu Qingzi was an assassin, but Tian Xiangzi had disappeared. Furthermore, she said that although she and Zhu Qingzi were sisters, they were enemies! My son is guilty! I am grateful for her rescue. This son-in-law saved his lover several times, but he didn't mention Tian Xiangzi to his father. But today... today... "
Fang Shuoyang's face was full of grief and indignation. "Father! My son is guilty!"
King Zhou's expression was a little cold. "Xiangzi showed up today, didn't she?"
"Yes! Xiangzi appeared that day... and unexpectedly..."
Afterwards, Fang Shuoyang stated the two purposes of Tian Xiangzi's appearance today!
"Father, she told my son that Zhu Qingzi had been killed, but I don't know if it's true or not. It was Tian Xiangzi who said it himself. That woman deserves death! She actually wanted to kill Zhu Qingzi on Father's birthday. Murder father! She also said that there is someone like her in the palace! Father! My son actually made friends with such a person, and even concealed it for her... Father, please punish me! My son deserves death!"
Fang Shuoyang knelt down, kowtowed his head, apologizing, his eyes were red.
King Zhou looked at the person kneeling in front of the imperial table, his eyes flickering. In the end, it turned into cold anger.
However, this anger was not directed at Fang Shuoyang much.
Obviously, although Wang Zhou didn't believe all of Fang Shuoyang's words this week, he believed at least eight points.
In addition, someone really hit him with an idea! Damn it! What a crime!
Moreover, there is someone for her in the palace? King Zhou's gaze turned cold...
