Qin Zhou was indeed in Chaowenguan at the moment. She met with more than a dozen subordinates in succession and arranged matters for the next six months.
The military generals of Beimo have such a high status, which was promoted by the Beimo Emperor. But he shot himself in the foot just because he wanted to consolidate military power, expand territory and satisfy his own ambitions.
This time, Murong Jie did not use Gao Fengtian's power, but completed the task of rescuing Qin Zhou by himself. Sure enough, there were no more mistakes in this matter. Therefore, Murong Jie also wrote to Gao Fengtian, telling him that there was a spy around him.
The next night, Gao Fengtian came to the Imperial Academy and told Murong Jie that the spy had been found.
The spy was not sent by the emperor, but by Old Lady Qin.
The Gao family is the leader of the Beimo martial arts world. Gao Fengtian himself blames himself for what happened.
He said to Murong Jie: "If my brother were here, I'm afraid this mistake wouldn't have happened."
"Your brother?" Murong Jie didn't even know that he had a brother.
"Yes, he is much smarter and more careful than me. If he were the head of Gaozhuang, it would be famous all over the world by now." Gao Fengtian seemed a little melancholy and sad.
"Where is your brother now?" Murong Jie couldn't help but become interested when he heard that even Gao Fengtian admired him so much. He always loved making friends with capable people.
"In Nanjun, beside Prince Luo." Gao Fengtian hesitated for a moment. "He broke up with my father due to some things in the past, and he has been away from home ever since. He even didn't come back when my father died."
"Prince Luo? What's his name?" Murong Jie's heart moved.
"Gao Lingtian, now called Tianjizi."
Murong Jie couldn't help but laugh and cry, "So it was him."
"Your Highness knows him?" Gao Fengtian was slightly stunned.
Murong Jie nodded, "I don't really know him, but I have corresponded with him. He is also going back to Beijing."
"Really?" Gao Fengtian looked at Murong Jie, with some ecstasy in his eyes, but he tried hard to hide it.
"Yes, it should arrive tomorrow." Murong Jie said.
Gao Fengtian couldn't hide his excitement, and murmured, "It's good that he's back, it's good that he's back, at least he can go to his father's grave to burn incense, and his father was still thinking about him before he died."
Murong Jie was not interested in their family affairs. He just felt that if Tianjizi was on Qin Zhou's side, then he and Prince Luo would be there to take care of Beimo's affairs, so Qin Zhou wouldn't have to worry too much after leaving Beimo.
He first asked them to dance and sing in Beimo, and then behind closed doors, let them make as much noise as they wanted. He only needed to take Qin Zhou away and resolve the crisis on the border between the two countries.
The next night, Prince Luo led his troops into Kyoto and stayed in his former Prince Luo's mansion.
Chu Jing left the palace overnight to meet Prince Luo. Naturally, the two brothers had to exchange some hypocritical courtesies.
Chu Jing burst into tears in front of Prince Luo and told how he was betrayed by his brother and son.
In the past, the tactic of playing the victim would have worked, but now, although Prince Luo squeezed out two tears, he had hatred hidden in his heart, so no matter how you looked at him, it seemed fake.
Chu Jing was sensitive and he soon discovered that Prince Luo's attitude was completely different.
So, after playing the victim, he got to the point, "You brought 150,000 soldiers into the capital this time, right?"
Prince Luo said: "That's right."
"Then..." Chu Jing looked at him. Although he was now dressed up as the eunuch Liu Shi, the cunning light in his eyes was still there. "Are you willing to give me all the 150,000?"
Prince Luo raised his eyes calmly and looked at Chu Jing, "Brother, why do you ask this? I came to the palace this time just for you, brother."
"Then, the military token..."
Prince Luo quickly interrupted him, "How do you deal with Emperor Kangping now?"
Chu Jing was a little displeased that his topic was interrupted, but he also patiently replied: "That rebellious son, now that I have drugged him, he dare not do anything reckless. If he does, his life will be in danger."
“In that case, can’t we ask him to remove Qin Zhou from the military?” Prince Luo asked.
Chu Jing shook his head, "No, even I couldn't do this in the past. The military power is in Qin Zhou's hands, and the military token is also in his hands. If there is no evidence of guilt, how can we win the hearts of the army? Instead, it will force Qin Zhou to rebel."
He couldn't afford the risk now.
Prince Luo was relieved and said, "Brother, I will go to the palace tomorrow to meet this traitor."
"Why are you going to see him?" Chu Jing asked unhappily.
Prince Luo narrowed his eyes, but smiled, "How can I not go to the palace to pay my respects to the emperor when I return to the capital? If people knew, they would become suspicious."
Now, Chu Yue is probably surrounded by Chu Jing's men. It is impossible to pass a message from outside the palace. Since it is not possible to pass the message secretly, he will go openly.
Moreover, the message he conveyed was intended, firstly, for Emperor Kangping to hear, and secondly, for Chu Jing to hear. He wanted to make his attitude clear to Chu Jing.
Chu Jing always felt that he had changed a little, but he couldn't tell where. His attitude was still very humble.
"What do you think, my royal brother? Does it mean that when I return to Beijing, I don't need to go to the palace to see him?" Prince Luo asked back.
Chu Jing's expression froze for a moment, "This... is indeed what I want."
But he always felt that something was wrong.
"Yes, that's right. Then I will wait until I meet the traitor Chu Yue, and then discuss it with you in detail. Or, call Madam Qin to the palace to discuss it tomorrow. After all, this is a serious matter. We must reach a consensus on how to act in the future."
Chu Jing looked at his sincere face and felt that he was just too suspicious. He would never disobey him and always trusted him. Otherwise, he would not have paid so much tribute of grain and silver to Kyoto every year for so many years.
"Okay!" Chu Jing said.
When Prince Luo saw that he agreed, he said, "Brother, your status is different now. Please go back to the palace first. I will go back to the palace around noon tomorrow."
Chu Jing originally wanted to say a few private words to him, but when he heard him order him to leave, he thought it was not appropriate to stay for long, "Well, I'll leave first."
"See you off, my brother!" Prince Luo stood up and bowed to see him off.
Chu Jing stood still and looked at him for a long time before saying, "Third brother, thank you for your hard work."
"Working for my royal brother, how can it be hard?" Prince Luo kept his head down without moving his eyebrows.
Chu Jing couldn't figure out anything after all, so he had to leave.
After Chu Jing left, Tianjizi stepped forward and asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow, Your Majesty?"
Prince Luo looked at Tianjizi, with a trace of revengeful viciousness in his eyes, "Sir, have you ever seen a cat catching a mouse?"
"without!"
Prince Luo sat down slowly and said indifferently: "When a cat catches a mouse, it will not bite it off, but will play with it wantonly until the mouse is exhausted, and then it will kill it."
Tianjizi knew that he had deep hatred in his heart and could not let it go, so he said, "I really want to see it."
"Hasn't he been playing with me in his hands for many years? It's my turn." Prince Luo closed his eyes. These days, the corpse of the princess who committed suicide kept appearing in his mind, and his heart ached uncontrollably.
He wanted to shatter Chu Jing's hopes bit by bit, and then watch him get caught in his own trap bit by bit.
