After Long Xiaoyuan's words fell, Shi Qingshan cut off the heads of two of them with his own hands.
The two heads fell to the ground, and the faces of the remaining three people all changed.
Liu Suifeng said. "Leave it to me, and I will ask them everything they know as quickly as possible."
After all, Liu Suifeng took him aside with a cold expression.
Liu Suifeng said to use the fastest speed, which is really not slow.
In less than two quarters of an hour, he came over.
"After asking, they only know that their master is from the Northern Kingdom. Now that the Northern Kingdom is in chaos, their master asked them to come here to take General Shi's life. It is best to capture him alive. This can be used to blackmail you. They don't know The specific identity of their masters in the North Kingdom, I only know that they are from the North Kingdom. They brought them here, and there are more than 20 of their companions, and they are all in the imperial city now."
"How is this place broken?"
"Water, formations are afraid of water." Liu Suifeng said immediately. "Only water can break it. This valley is below, and it can only be broken by water from above."
Long Xiaoyuan immediately said again after hearing the words. "Do you know how to get out?"
"Got it. There is a way."
"It's not too late, let's go out and talk about it first."
The rest of the people naturally have no objection. So I decided to go out and talk.
Following Liu Suifeng, Long Xiaoyuan and others walked behind, it didn't take much time to get out of this valley.
However, it is not so simple to transport a large amount of water.
However, it is man-made.
The only thing Long Xiaoyuan found a little strange was that the shadow guards he brought didn't see much of it down there.
Was it trapped elsewhere in the valley or was it not
But if they weren't trapped, where are those shadow guards now
There is no solution to this problem for the time being, Long Xiaoyuan and others found the horse, and then directly released the signal.
Not long after, a large group of people arrived, led by Qiu Ming.
"The humble minister kowtows to the emperor, the empress."
"Water, Qiu Ming, find a way to bring enough water immediately, and hurry up."
Qiu Ming nodded immediately. "Yes, Weichen will do it now."
Long Xiaoyuan and the others hurried on their way, and they didn't eat anything in the valley. At this time, Long Xiaoyuan was a bit overwhelmed. Shi Qingzhou noticed the strangeness of the other party, and quickly pulled him off the horse. "Are you okay?"
Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "It's okay, just a little tired, let's rest here."
Shi Qingzhou hurriedly helped the other party to sit on the side of the road.
Shi Qingshan didn't take a rest, but led Qiu Ming's people to rush over there first.
There are no big towns nearby, but there are still many villages.
Some people just transfer water to various villages.
With wooden barrels, checked by cart.
Although Qiu Ming and the others were already fast, they were still a bit slow.
By the time the water arrived and poured down from above, the first four hours had already passed.
Therefore, the people who were fainted at the beginning woke up again, and those who woke up continued to fall into the fighting, and many people were killed or injured. This army brought back suffered the heaviest loss since they followed Shi Qingshan.
And such a tragedy didn't appear on the battlefield, but only here.
This kind of casualty made Shi Qingshan and Long Xiaoyuan very heartbroken.
Long Xiaoyuan rested beside him for a long time, and finally felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot.
Shi Qingzhou also sent a little internal energy to the other party, although not much, but it was helpful for recovery, better than nothing.
Long Xiaoyuan stood up from the side. "What's going on over there?"
"The water has been delivered, and the casualties have increased."
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips tightly. "How many people died?"
"Eight hundred."
Long Xiaoyuan closed his eyes deeply. "There are so many."
Shi Qingzhou didn't know what to say.
Long Xiaoyuan opened his eyes and said slowly. "Let's go. Let's leave first."
Shi Qingzhou nodded.
After returning to the palace, that night, Long Xiaoyuan said softly to Shi Qingzhou. "Qingzhou, I have decided to support Huhe's enthronement."
Shi Qingzhou looked at each other.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled slightly. "Accident?"
Shi Qingzhou shook his head slowly. "Although Huhe Huangcheng can also use poison, he doesn't know Gu after all. The most important thing is that we have mastered his character. This person is too sinister and crazy. If he becomes the emperor of the Northern Kingdom, I'm afraid we will The troubles of the Yuelong Dynasty will be unstoppable."
Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "However, what identity this person is from the Northern Kingdom is still unknown, but I think Huhe Huangcheng should already know by now."
Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Let's ask the people over there, Huhe Huangcheng probably won't refuse the alliance as a condition.
Long Xiaoyuan nodded upon hearing this. "Okay, then I'll go ask someone to ask."
"But I have to talk to my father about it."
"That's natural. But the alliance will not change." Long Xiaoyuan said firmly.
Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Well, it's still early, I'll go back."
Long Xiaoyuan frowned. "Farewell for now, according to the news Liu Suifeng asked, those people still have people in the imperial city, but they knew that the deeds were revealed in advance, and our people tracked down where they were. They have already gone to the building, and we don't know where they are hiding. , you just stay in the palace these few days, don't go anywhere."
Shi Qingzhou looked into Long Xiaoyuan's serious eyes, and finally could only nod helplessly. "ok, I get it."
Long Xiaoyuan squeezed the opponent's palm. "Feel sorry."
Shi Qingzhou shook his head. "What are you sorry for?"
"You were not allowed to go back."
Shi Qingzhou gave the other side a blank look. "Okay, stop talking nonsense and go to bed early."
"En." Long Xiaoyuan nodded.
The next day, Long Xiaoyuan got up early from the bed.
Shi Qingzhou was still asleep when he went to the morning court, and Long Xiaoyuan didn't wake him up.
When Long Xiaoyuan came back from morning court, Shi Qingzhou was already sitting at the dining table.
And Long Xiaoyuan brought someone with him.
Shi Qingzhou stood up immediately when he saw the person coming. "father?"
Shi Qingshan smiled slightly, but did not salute.
Probably because he already knew that Long Xiaoyuan didn't like this set.
Shi Qingzhou took Shi Qingshan and sat down at the dining table. "Breakfast can be served later."
Shi Qingshan nodded. "good."
Long Xiaoyuan said with a smile. "The hibiscus cake is delicious, dad can try it later."
"Okay." Shi Qingshan naturally agreed repeatedly.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't have a rule not to speak during breakfast, so Long Xiaoyuan smiled and talked about going to the General's Mansion.
Shi Qingshan said seriously. "I'm not at home, so I don't know what happened at home. Fortunately, the emperor is aware of the details."
"Haha." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "Father, you don't have to be so polite. They're all from your own family."
Shi Qingshan also smiled when he heard the words. Looking at his son's appearance now, he is no longer reluctant, so he naturally understands that the relationship between the two is very good.
What's more, at home, he also heard from his wife that Long Xiaoyuan said that today's emperors have never set foot in the harem other than Queen Kunning Palace.
It turned out to be... a couple for a lifetime
Shi Qingshan was happy for his son. He himself has been loyal to Yuelong Dynasty all his life.
After the only son entered the palace, the Shi family cut off the incense. If his son can be happy, then, even so, everything is worth it.
Long Xiaoyuan treats his son well, and he is satisfied with everything.
Thinking of this, looking at the meal in front of him, Shi Qingshan couldn't help feeling more appetizing.
Long Xiaoyuan gave his Master Taishan a lot of food, Shi Qingshan thanked him, but he never refused.
A very warm breakfast.
After breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingshan went to the study of Kunning Palace.
Shi Qingzhou didn't go in, he asked the shadow guards for information about those people who were lurking in the imperial city outside.
At this time, the shadow guard outside came to report that there was movement in the Tianji Building.
Shi Qingzhou asked coldly what was the movement, but the shadow guard said, "I only heard a loud noise coming from inside, but then it was hidden. When my subordinates were about to go in, they were also stopped."
Shi Qingzhou frowned suddenly. "That is to say, the Tianji Building is now locked inside, right?"
"Yes."
Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. "Go and have a look, if there is any obstacle, just break through."
"Yes." The shadow guard took the order and immediately retreated.
Shi Qingzhou quietly thought about the problem on the side of Tianji Building. After a while, he stood up from the spot and jumped out quickly.
Soon, Long Xiaoyuan arrived at the place where Liu Suifeng was.
Liu Suifeng looked at Shi Qingzhou who jumped over with lightness in surprise. "What's wrong?"
Shi Qingzhou said quickly. "Follow me to the Tianji Building."
Liu Suifeng was startled, before he had time to ask any more questions, but Shi Qingzhou had gone far away, so he had no choice but to chase after him.
Ouyang Chuan was coming out of the house, and he didn't know what happened, but he saw Liu Suifeng chasing Shi Qingzhou away, so Ouyang Chuan gritted his teeth and followed up.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't know at this time that his Qingzhou family had already left the palace, and he was talking to Shi Qingshan about the northern kingdom.
Shi Qingshan also agreed to send troops to help.
However, there is a reason for this assistance.
For example, they can provide troops and support documents, but it is not appropriate to send all the troops into the North Kingdom, otherwise, the losses will be great.
Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "I think so too. We can use the method of edicting the world to only recognize the emperor who is succeeded by Huhe Huangcheng, and in addition, we can announce what the black hand is doing now."
Shi Qingshan nodded. "That's an idea."
Afterwards, the two discussed again, and more than an hour had passed by the time the decision was made.
Shi Qingshan said goodbye and left. When he went outside, he was slightly surprised that he didn't see his son, but he left without asking.
So, when Long Xiaoyuan came out, the news he got was that Shi Qingzhou had gone out.
Then invite the shadow guard to ask again, the one who went is still Tianjilou!
Immediately, Long Xiaoyuan's face darkened slightly.
In the end, although Long Xiaoyuan had a dark face, he didn't chase after him. Liu Suifeng had already gone. This made him feel a little more at ease, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He feels that he is now more and more inclined to develop into a bad old man.
Why? Because I love to worry!
When Long Xiaoyuan was worrying, Shi Qingzhou had already arrived at Tianji Building.
The loud noise in the Tianji Building turned out to be due to the fight between two people. And these two people... turned out to be Zou Qingyuan and Wu Ronghan! The shadow guard finally broke in, and they all saw Wu Ronghan's final retreat and the scene of Zou Qingyuan vomiting blood.
The shadow guard asked the reason, but the two fighters were silent.
When Shi Qingzhou and Liu Suifeng arrived, the fighting had already stopped, but the shadow guard still didn't ask anything.
Shi Qingzhou didn't ask Wu Ronghan anything, but took Zou Qingyuan away.
Wu Ronghan seemed to want to stop him, but was stopped by Liu Suifeng.
In this way, Zou Qingyuan was taken away from Tianji Building by Shi Qingzhou.
Shi Qingzhou who left Tianji Building did not go back to the palace, but took people to a restaurant and asked for a box.
After all sat down, Shi Qingzhou ordered a jug of wine and some dishes.
After Xiaoer left, Shi Qingzhou said slowly. "Brother Zou, have we known each other for a long time?"
Zou Qingyuan paused and nodded. "A long time indeed. Six years."
"Yes, it's been six years." Shi Qingzhou said lightly. "Brother Zou knows my temperament, and I know yours too. So, Wu Ronghan has a problem, does Brother Zou still want to hide it?"
Zou Qingyuan was shocked, but he didn't know what to say.
Shi Qingzhou continued to speak slowly. "I thought it was a good sign that I searched Wu Ronghan's room myself."
Zou Qingyuan immediately pursed his lips tightly.
"I have to tell Brother Zou one more thing, just yesterday..."
Shi Qingzhou spoke about the deaths of the eight hundred soldiers in a very cold tone, and finally said in an even colder voice: "Brother Zou, are you from my Yuelong Dynasty?"
Zou Qingyuan's whole body was shaken violently. He raised his head, looked at Shi Qingzhou hoarsely, and said, "Is what you said true? So many people died in... the valley?"
"Brother Zou thinks it is necessary for me to lie to you?"
Zou Qingyuan shook his head slowly. "No... you don't have to lie to me..."
Then, it can only be true...
Shi Qingzhou said lightly. "What did Wu Ronghan do, do you still want to help him conceal it? If he is from our Yuelong Dynasty, then he is collaborating with the enemy and treason and deserves death. If he is not from our Yuelong Dynasty, then he is even more Damn it, don’t you think so? Brother Zou.”
In the last half of the sentence, Shi Qingzhou's voice was very cold.
Zou Qingyuan's face changed suddenly, and after a long time, he said slowly. "Okay, I... say."
But, at this moment, an accident happened suddenly.
Zou Qingyuan, who was about to say something, suddenly grabbed his neck tightly with both hands.
"Zou Qingyuan!" Shi Qingzhou was startled and hurried to check, but at this moment, Zou Qingyuan violently lifted the entire table, and then fell to the ground in great pain.
Shi Qingzhou's complexion changed, and he wanted to step forward to tap the opponent's acupuncture points, but Zou Qingyuan suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Shi Qingzhou like crazy. If Shi Qingzhou was hit with that palm, he would die or die hurt.
Shi Qingzhou didn't dare to take it hard, so he could only avoid his edge.
And just as Shi Qingzhou dodged, the shadow guard also arrived.
The shadow guards have been following Shi Qingzhou all the time, they rushed over when they saw the movement here just now.
Yingwei and others cooperated to take him down, but at this moment Zou Qingyuan fell to the ground suddenly. Spit blood... within a moment, there was no sound.
Shi Qingzhou's face turned ugly for a moment.
But no matter how ugly his face is, it's useless.
The shadow guard probed Zou Qingyuan's breath, "Dead."
Shi Qingzhou closed his eyes, and opened them the next moment, with an extremely cold expression. "Where's Wu Ronghan?"
"Still in the Tianji Building."
"Go, go." Shi Qingzhou took the lead to go outside.
The shadow guards followed suit.
Shi Qingzhou took the people to the Tianji Building, and Liu Suifeng was still there. "Where's Wu Ronghan?"
Liu Suifeng knew something was wrong when he saw Shi Qingzhou's expression, he said. "In the house."
"Go in and have a look." Shi Qingzhou said coldly.
The door was pushed open, and there was no one in the house.
Liu Suifeng's expression changed.
Shi Qingzhou looked at Liu Suifeng, and pursed the corners of his mouth. "Where are people?"
Liu Suifeng took a deep breath, "I was careless."
Shi Qingzhou ordered. "Search."
There is a passage in Wu Ronghan's room, and the passage was found out quickly, and Shi Qingzhou's face became even uglier. "Chase!
As soon as the word fell, all the shadow guards took action.
Then, the other principals from the Tianji Building were also brought over.
"Liu Suifeng, I leave it to you to inquire here. Others, search this place carefully from the inside to the outside!"
Shi Qingzhou said coldly, the cold eyes represented his extreme anger.
The rest of the people did not dare to delay, and hurriedly searched, intending to search all over here.
Liu Suifeng also started to interrogate...
