"Did you plan all this?" the man asked.

"Yes! Everything is under my control. I am just acting for you! Except for Wu Jingui."

Yan Sheng stared at him sharply and said, "Who are you? Why did you come to our Great Zhou?"

"Want to know?" As soon as he finished speaking, he ran headfirst into a pillar and died on the spot.

"The clue is broken?" Song Fengren frowned and said. At this time, everyone felt that the trip to Dawu was very strange.

First it was cooperation, then assassination, and finally it turned into lurking.

"Interesting!" Huang Jun clapped his hands outside the house after receiving Yan Sheng's flying letter and said, "Protect them well, and write a letter to the Prime Minister of Dawu to ask him to arrange a marriage for me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Yan Sheng stood in the house and thought, "Did they deliberately let us in?"

"Master Song, send a letter to the capital! Tell the teacher what happened... remind the teacher to pay more attention to Yang Guofu's movements."

......

Jingyang brought back the person who had just escaped, "Is he dead?" Yuanlu walked forward and touched his breath.

"Yes, he's dead! He was killed by that man with a knife in the throat." Jing Yang replied.

"The man we met in the woods?" Song Fengren answered and murmured, "It's strange. Why does he follow us wherever we go? Could he be someone sent by the teacher to protect us?"

"No, that person is not from the Great Zhou but from Qi!"

"What?" After hearing what Jing Yang said, Song Fengren couldn't believe that there would be people from Da Qi helping them. "Then what's the meaning of his doing this?"

Yan Sheng naturally knew the reason, and he said to Song Fengren: "Since he is willing to help us clear the obstacles, it means that we have a common enemy with him. We will ask him about it when we meet later. Now let's rest in Qingzhou County for a few days! We can set off again after the affairs in Qingzhou County are properly handled."

"Yes!"

Everyone left except Jing Yang. "Jing Yang, is it okay for you to speak frankly?" Yan Sheng asked.

"There were more bodies hanging upside down in the dense forest outside the city. Their wounds were... and..." Jing Yang hesitated and didn't finish his words.

"Their wounds are similar to the soft sword at my waist. Do you suspect that I know that person?" Yan Sheng said lightly, and then took out the soft sword at his waist.

Jing Yang looked at the soft sword on Yan Sheng's waist and murmured, "How is it possible? Is there another sword made of soft iron in the world?"

"Jingyang, you go down first. I'll ask him for you when he shows up again. Now let's deal with the affairs of Qingzhou County first."

In the imperial city of Great Zhou, Park Jung-won received a flying letter from Song Fengren and walked towards the Prime Minister's residence with the letter.

"Yang, you old thief, come out here." Park Jung-won and Lord Jin cursed at the door of his mansion.

Yang Guofu cursed in the courtyard: "Who is so bold as to come to my house so early in the morning to cause trouble and kill him?"

"Sir...Sir, it's Prime Minister Park outside the door," the servant said in a low voice.

"Hahaha! The former Prime Minister scolded me so well! I haven't heard anyone scold me in a long time." Yang Guofu looked at the servants in his house, "What are you standing there for? Go and invite him in."

"Please come in, Lord Park!" the servant opened the door and bent over to say to Park Jung-won.

When they entered the mansion, Yang Guofu had already brewed tea himself. "Why didn't you inform me that Senior Brother was coming to the mansion? Did I do something wrong?"

"Why did you send people to Yun County and Qingzhou County to kill Chen Yanjun and his men?"

"Me?" Yang Guofu's expression was not very natural. "When did I send people to kill your people?"

Yang Guofu immediately called all his adopted sons.

"Shi Lushan, did I ask you to kill him?"

"An Shiyi, did I ask you to kill him?"

"..."

After asking around, no one admitted it. "Ask again, is this true?" Yang Guofu asked again angrily.

"My foster father, my men have not moved in the north."

"Me too"

After his adopted son finished answering, Yang Guofu looked at Park Zhongyuan, "You also heard that my people did not take action! I suspect that Dawu's people took action in advance."

"Humph! Even if they did it, you wouldn't dare admit it."

Park Jung-won sneered, "Don't let me find out."

Park Jung-won left after saying this, and Yang Guofu asked his adopted sons to investigate the person behind the incident.

"Yes!"

Yang Guofu sat in his mansion to sort out the whole story. He was worried that his Jinzhi Tower had been infiltrated!

"Is it really the people of Dawu who intervened?" He immediately wrote eight secret letters and gave them to his adopted son, clearing out the suspicious people in Jinzhi Building! It is better to make a few mistakes than to let a thousand go.

Within one day, a bloody massacre began in Jinzhi Tower, and only less than 20,000 people were left out of the 30,000-strong force in the north.

When Park Jung-won heard about this, he said, "What a ruthless person! He even attacks his own people."

Lord Jin quickly asked, "Sir, are you saying that this matter has nothing to do with the people in Jinzhilou? Could it really be done by the people in Dawu?"

"Xiao Jin! Is there any trace of the old friend I asked you to check for me?"

"Sir, you are already investigating with all your strength, but...that gentleman is reluctant to show up," Lord Jin replied.

"Okay! He will show up sooner or later. Feishu Yansheng told him to act according to the plan."

......

Everyone in Qingzhou County had a solemn expression on their faces. Yan Sheng looked at them and smiled, "Does everyone know about the Jinzhi Tower incident? It seems that someone from Dawu is deliberately trying to stop us this time. Can you tell me what you are planning to do next?"

"Go to Dawu and kill him without a single piece of armor left!"

"I think we should deal with internal matters first before considering external matters."

Song Fengren and Jingyang had a disagreement, and finally Yan Sheng decided to let Song and Jingyang stay in Da Zhou, while they would go to Da Wu!

"I'm afraid that's not possible. I promised the Prime Minister that I would protect you. I'm worried about you going to Dawu alone. Besides, we don't know whether the people in the woods are friends or foes, so it's too dangerous for you." Jing Yang said.

"We are now in Qingzhou County. There is Luochuan between Qingzhou County and Balang County. We must get rid of Dawu's people before Balang County." Yan Sheng deployed.

"Do you want to expose your future itinerary and let them come to us?" Jing Yang asked. He was not worried about the other servants, he was just worried that the mysterious man would attack them at that time.

"Yes, don't be afraid! Only by getting rid of us can we return to Da Zhou safely. This strategy is the last resort!" Yan Sheng said, and then added: "Yuanlu, Yuzhu, you two go protect the lady!"

He now wants to use Yuanlu and Yuzhu to replace Huang Jing, so that their chances of winning will be better!

"Yes!"

Several people who had escaped before also met with the people who led them at the agreed dense forest.

"Sir, the person who came to Dawu this time is really Chen Yanjun. In addition, we have also found the trace of the child of the general who guards the city of Balang County."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, the man's voice became a little higher, "Ah?! Are you sure?"

"My Lord, I am very sure! All the people we sent out were killed, so that person must be General Xiao's child."

"Does he have any secret letter on him?" the man asked.

"I don't know. It should be on him."

"Got it! I'll give you one more chance this time. If you don't do well again, I won't give you another chance. Remember?"

"Yes!"

......

In the inn, Zhang Sui'an grabbed Jiao Niang's wrist and said, "Don't kill! Don't kill my parents!", with tears in the corners of his eyes. Jiao Niang quickly hugged him and waited for a long time before she regained her composure.

When Zhang Sui'an woke up, he saw Jiao Niang lying beside him, "Sister, why are you here?" Just as he was about to raise his hand, he felt a strong pain. Only then did Zhang Sui'an notice that his hands and legs were injured.

"Sister, why am I here?"

"I found you in an alley. I noticed you were injured, so I rushed you to the hospital! Luckily you were lucky enough to survive. If I had been a few minutes later, you would have died."

"Sister, am I still alive? If you're worried, don't do it again."

"Why are you injured? I see your dagger is covered in blood." Jiao Niang handed him the clean dagger.

"Sister, I have to confess something to you. My real name is Xiao Yan. My father was a general in Balang County. Before I fled to Xingwen County, my entire family was slaughtered. I am the only one left in the whole mansion. Those people yesterday were the enemies who killed my father!"

"I don't know why I met them in Qingzhou County, so I fought with them in the alley yesterday. Fortunately, my master came and helped me get rid of them."

Although Jiao Niang already knew his identity in advance, she was still very sad when he calmly said that the whole family was slaughtered! She wanted to find the real culprit behind it!

Jiao Niang hugged him and comforted him: "When you come home in the future, my parents are still your parents. Don't worry, we will treat you well. I will keep this secret for you!"

"Thank you, sister!" At this time, Yan An and Qingwen both came in, and Jiao Niang left the room, leaving the three of them behind!

At this time Yan Qin asked: "Have you found your brother?"

"Yes! They are in the inner room!" At this time, Huang Jing came in and apologized to the two ladies: "Madams! I'm sorry that I won't see you off after tomorrow. I will let my colleagues take over my job then."

"Ah? You're leaving?" Yan Qin said a little unhappy, "I'll give you more money, will you stay?"

"Oh! Miss, my boss asked me to do this, I have no choice! We will meet again when there is a chance."

Yan Qin said unhappily: "How about we have dinner together tonight? It's my treat!"

"Okay! I'll listen to you."

Jiao Niang never expected that Huang Jing would stay and have dinner with her.

Yan Qin ordered the highest standard banquet in Qingzhou County for the dinner, so Yan Sheng naturally attended.

Yan Qin behaved elegantly at the table, not at all like her usual rude and unreasonable self.

This behavior made Jiaoniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Big sister didn't realize that you also have a gentle side."

Yan Qin was shocked by Jiao Niang's words for a long time before she reacted, "It will change eventually!"

Yan Qin poured him more wine and asked, "When can you come back?"

"I don't know. It depends on the boss's arrangement." Huang Jing looked at Yan Sheng and replied.

"Ah?" Yan Qin said with a little disappointment.

"Sister, destined people will eventually meet!" Yan Sheng comforted her.

"You have become much more slick-tongued since you married Jiao Niang."

......

"Your Highness has sent a letter." When someone in the mansion was about to hand the letter to His Highness, he was stopped by the hostess of the mansion!

"Show it to me first!", the woman ordered.

The man looked at her and then at the man behind the woman, "It's okay to leave it to the princess."

The man handed her the letter. She read it and said to the man, "Your secret can no longer be hidden."

The man took the letter and looked at it. "This secret will be exposed sooner or later!"

"Are you so sure that you can overthrow the Prime Minister? Don't forget the identities between us!" asked the princess.

"The Prime Minister is just a chess piece in my eyes. No one has discovered this secret for so many years in the Great Zhou. Now that I have finally returned to the palace, I still want to be called your consort. I am really frustrated as the eldest prince."

"The eldest prince? You call yourself that? Or was it given to you by our father? In our father's eyes, you and I are just tools for him to consolidate his power. Wouldn't it be better for him to let you stay in the Great Zhou and wait for you to inherit the throne of the Great Zhou?"

"Isn't it true that I am the eldest prince? Although our mother is not the queen, we are much older than His Majesty the True Prince. That position will be mine sooner or later. As for His Majesty the Young Prince, he is no different from my brother in the Great Zhou, he is just a puppet! Sooner or later, the Great Wu and the Great Zhou will be mine, and I will become the true emperor of all ages."

"I wish you success! You should deal with your affairs first. Otherwise, the more people know your secret, the less room you will have on either side."

......

"Your Excellency Prime Minister! There are people coming in and out of Zhou Tong's mansion, and the secret letters have been checked by our people. Can we make a plan?" asked the Prime Minister's men.

"No hurry. I just received two letters from Northern Qi. Open them and take a look."

After reading the letter, the man hesitated, "How can there be two letters with the same hand seal?"

"One is a letter from the current monarch of the Great Qi State, and the other is a letter from the little prince who fled that year. What do you think we should do?" Wang Pu asked.

"I think it's better to use him to kill Yao Wu, and then use his identity to contain Da Qi. By then, our Da Zhou will be number one!"

Wang Pu smiled and said, "Sir Shangshu has thought it through. I think so too. As long as we don't reveal Yao Wu's true identity, he will always be the Grand Prince of the Great Zhou. But we still need to find someone to deal with the secret letter, otherwise there will be more trouble!"

"Yes! I'll send someone to do it now."

The people left, and the little prince came out, "Teacher, what are you planning to do?"

"I will let them fight each other! Only then can Your Highness inherit the throne, and I will be worthy of your mother! Before you ascend the throne, I will spare no effort to help you deal with these troubles. As for the current queen, I will make her die without a complete corpse to avenge your mother."

The people of Qingzhou County are planning the route. The news that Chen Yanjun is going on a diplomatic mission to Dawu has also spread, and the road is full of dangers.
