The carriage kept running towards the Manna Hall.
Wen Qingzhu held Jiang Yuanhan's hand tightly. Wen Qingzhu's sudden appearance behind Qianyuan Palace was definitely not an accident.
"Uh-" A rapid sound of reining in the horse sounded from the front.
Along with the neighing of the horse and the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground, Yang Liu's voice came from outside: "Miss! A man and horse from the Yue Kingdom suddenly appeared in front!"
Wen Qingzhu immediately opened the car curtain and stared at those people carefully.
Their equipment and movements looked like those of the survivors of the Yue Kingdom, but she knew that these people just borrowed the identities of the survivors of the Yue Kingdom.
"Turn!" Wen Qingzhu ordered without hesitation.
Yang Liu was a little worried: "But you are far away from the Manna Hall!"
"I have my own way!" Wen Qingzhu lowered his eyebrows and turned a corner in the direction of Qingning Palace.
She wanted to see what would happen if the fake Yue survivors met the real Yue survivors
After a quick turn, the carriage began to gallop again.
After running for a while, Yang Liu said in surprise: "They didn't chase me!"
Wei Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "But there are many people from the Yue Kingdom's survivors lurking over there at Qingning Palace. Do we really want to go there?"
"Don't worry! The people over there are different from those who burn, kill and rob. When we are about to arrive, we will turn around and go to the Zaoche Palace!"
After receiving her instructions, the group of them just passed by Qingning Palace.
When passing the entrance of Qingning Palace, a corner of the carriage's curtain flew up.
Wen Qingzhu accidentally glanced outside and happened to see the guard at the door, talking to the hunky man.
The man seemed to be aware of her gaze and looked over sideways.
Just such a look instantly frightened Wen Qingzhu - this man is not simple!
Before Wen Qingzhu could take a second look, the car curtains fell.
The carriage quickly left Qingning Palace. Wen Qingzhu frowned and lowered his head in thought. Who was the man just now
Judging from his clothes, he must be a member of the Yue family.
This momentum is comparable to that of the high priest of the Yue Kingdom. Could it be that he is also a senior general of the Yue Kingdom's survivors
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yuanhan gently pulled Wen Qingzhu's hand and asked cautiously.
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses, feeling very heavy. He touched his head and said, "It's okay. We will meet Mr. Lu when we get to the Zuocu Hall. He will pick you up then!"
"What about sister!" Jiang Yuanhan felt something was wrong keenly.
He felt that Wen Qingzhu most likely wanted to return to Qingning Palace.
Just when he passed the entrance of Qingning Palace, Wen Qingzhu's face suddenly became heavy, something bad must have happened to him.
"Sister, come with me!" Jiang Yuanhan held her hand stubbornly.
Wen Qingzhu smiled but did not reply.
When they arrived at the Zhuocei Hall, their group finally met up with Lu Lei's people.
As soon as he got off the car, Wen Qingzhu actually saw Liang Pingshu among the forbidden troops, who seemed to be arranging something.
After Jiang Yuanhan came down, Lu Lei came over.
"Thank you for your hard work, leave the Eighth Prince to us." Lu Lei stretched out his hand, but Jiang Yuanhan did not cooperate.
He looked at Wen Qingzhu eagerly, wanting her to go with him.
Wen Qingzhu took his hand and gave it to Lu Lei: "Protect the Eighth Prince well. You have seen the situation clearly from yesterday to today. He must survive well!"
"I know." Lu Lei turned around and took Jiang Yuanhan away.
After a while, Liang Pingshu came over and watched Jiang Yuanhan reluctantly get into the car and asked her: "Do you really put your hope in him?"
"You think it's inappropriate?" Wen Qingzhu knew that Liang Pingshu had always stretched her hand too far.
Liang Pingshu looked away and looked at her: "King Chu and Prince Ning are not that easy to deal with. Even if Prince Huai loses power now, there is still Prince Jing!"
Wen Qingzhu sighed, patted her shoulder and said, "County Master, you haven't been in the palace for a long time. You will understand what King Jing is doing now when you see him."
Seeing Wen Qingzhu turn around and leave, Liang Pingshu gritted her teeth and shouted: "Even if Prince Huai takes advantage of Xiao Jiu, they are brothers, Xiao Jiu won't care!"
Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped. If Prince Huai was just taking advantage of him, she would have nothing to say, and she would even appreciate it.
It's a pity that what King Huai thought was an insignificant use was actually not that at all.
Otherwise, the current Qingning Palace would not be a base for the Yue family.
After taking Wei Yu and his party with him, Wen Qingzhu went to the palace gate to check on the situation.
Jiang Yuancheng's words made him very uneasy.
With Wei Yu leading the way, everything went smoothly.
The north gate leading directly to the hinterland of the capital was extremely solemn at this time.
Wen Qingzhu hid behind the bushes and looked over there. After carefully checking the situation of those people, he found nothing unusual.
"Sister Wen, do you think there's any problem over there?" Wei Yu noticed her doubts and asked in a low voice.
Wen Qingzhu touched his chin and said uncertainly: "These people guarding the palace gate seem to have undergone military training. At first glance, they are no different from the Forbidden Army."
"The news I got here is that someone who has never shown up before is here, and the spies are afraid to get close." Wei Yu's face also became serious.
Wen Qingzhu once again thought of the man at the door of Qingning Palace and felt that that man might be a huge variable.
"Where's Xin Zhong?" Wen Qingzhu was worried that if he really wanted to face that person, only Xin Zhong could deal with him.
Wei Yu glanced at her and spoke hesitantly: "There's something going on with General Fu, and Mr. Xin went out to deal with it."
"What's the situation?" Wen Qingzhu's heart tightened. Is there really someone else
Wei Yu looked at her in embarrassment: "Brother Dongzi said, don't let me tell you, saying that if you know, you will definitely be distracted. In short, they can handle it, let you protect yourself in the palace first."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and held Wei Yu's hand: "Xiaoyu, I know they don't want me to worry, but without enough information now, I can't analyze the current situation, whether it's good or bad. I have to know all the news, bad news!”
Seeing her being so serious, Wei Yu's eyes struggled.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wei Yu decided to tell her: "When entering the city, General Fu suddenly encountered a wave of ambush and drove them back. He is currently fighting on the Lingyun Mountain."
"What else?" Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong. Is there anyone in the capital who could compete with Fu Lie
"The news passed over there, let us just follow the emperor's arrangements. The Li family and the Zheng family will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."
As soon as Wei Yu finished speaking, the sound of carriage wheels suddenly came from ahead.
Wen Qingzhu looked up and found that the car looked familiar.
Wei Yu, who was standing next to him, reminded: "It's the carriage from Hanbing Palace."
Wen Qingzhu looked at the back of the carriage, and the guards at the palace gate stopped them as expected.
But the eunuch at the front of the car took out a waist tag, and the guard at the door let them go.
Seeing this scene, Wen Qingzhu began to think deeply.
At this time, the people at the city gate are still willing to let the people from Hanbing Palace out -
Wen Qingzhu laughed and understood in his heart.
From this point of view, there must be Wan Bin or Jiang Yuancheng among the guards.
"Wei Yu, do I know who it is?" Wen Qingzhu laughed. There was always someone who had a good relationship with Jiang Yuancheng, but suddenly disappeared.
"Who?" Now that Wen Qingzhu had an idea in his mind, he naturally knew how to deal with it.
"Let's go to the Xuanzheng Palace."
More than a quarter of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu arrived at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall.
What happened last night was too sudden, and there were still many people staying in the palace.
Among them, the ministers are even more responsible.
The Xuanzheng Hall is a cover. The people of the Yue Kingdom’s surviving clan have clear goals and will not come here.
But there are many ministers' families and retainers here.
Arriving at the entrance of the Xuanzheng Hall, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the rows of forbidden troops.
It seems that Jiang Yue was also worried that important officials in the imperial court would be taken advantage of, so he specially sent so many people to protect them.
With Wei Yu in front, the people guarding here naturally let them in.
Wen Qingzhu directly asked someone to take her to find Duke Jiang.
Arriving at the door of an inner room, the little eunuch opened the door for her.
What Wen Qingzhu didn't expect was that in addition to Jiang Guogong, Lei Xiao and Jin Yuanbao were also here.
"Qingzhu is here, come in and sit down." Lei Xiao didn't seem surprised and waved to her kindly.
After entering, Wen Qingzhu found them playing chess.
Jin Yuanbao sat obediently behind Lei Xiao, motionless.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu come in, he just nodded politely.
"Look at this game of chess, is it possible for me to win?" Lei Xiao asked her to sit down and pointed at the chess game on the table.
Wen Qingzhu looked down and found that Lei Xiao's Heizi had almost lost everything.
Looking at it like this, I guess Heizi will lose completely in three to five moves.
but…
After watching intently for about a quarter of an hour, Wen Qingzhu glanced at Duke Jiang who was holding the white piece, asked for instructions, "May I ask if you are the Duke of Jiang now?"
Jiang Guogong had always heard of Wen Qingzhu's name and had seen him twice before from a distance.
But it was the first time for Jiang Guogong to see him at such a close distance like today.
He glanced at Wen Qingzhu from top to bottom and said nothing, only nodded.
Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Then please let Duke Jiang make the move first. Every move of the chess piece can change in many ways. I have to see the Duke's move first."
Lei Xiao stroked his beard and said, "It's time for Mr. Jiang to make the move. You've been thinking about this move for half an hour. Mr. Cui doesn't think about it as carefully as you do."
But Duke Jiang still didn't move. Wen Qingzhu felt a little anxious, but she couldn't speak.
The General's Palace has always been very low-key. In her impression, it seemed that only Jiang Zi'ang was very low-key.
Later, before following Jiang Yuancheng in his rebellion, the Jiang family drew a clear line with him.
The Jiang family is obviously also a powerful person, but it seems that it has always been outside the power.
After waiting patiently for another quarter of an hour, Duke Jiang finally gave up.
But this step of his was obviously a waste of time.
Lei Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Guogong: "Master Jiang, your chess skills are the best after Mr. Cui. Is this step too deliberate?"
Jiang Guogong raised his head, looked at him and said: "Master Lei, how long ago did this happen? Ten years ago in Hedong and ten years in Hexi. Your Lei Xiao's chess skills were already poor. After practicing in front of His Majesty for so many years, I'm afraid it's already gone." More than me."
"Master Jiang, you are being humble. If I can make progress, I can do it, but it is far from enough to surpass you. However, my chess game is indeed not as bad as it seems on the surface."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he turned to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Look again, how can we make a comeback as quickly as possible?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at it carefully. She didn't feel anything just now.
After Jiang Guogong's move fell, Wen Qingzhu was shocked to realize that Lei Xiao had not lost everything, but had dug a big hole, waiting for Jiang Guogong to jump into.
But it was obvious that Jiang Guogong saw through it early, so he did not follow Lei Xiao's wish.
After careful consideration, Wen Qingzhu picked up a black piece and killed a small piece of white piece directly.
Seeing her playing chess like this, Lei Xiao was very surprised: "I worked hard to lay out the game for so long, and now you made the killing move in advance and only took so few chess pieces. Isn't it a big loss?"
