The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband

"Jiao Niang, do you have anything you want to ask?" Yan Sheng returned to the room and told him these matters.

"My brother said that they killed their entire family before, so it should be my brother who went to find them. Why are they going to find my brother?" Jiao Niang asked puzzledly.

"I have the same question. Why are they looking for your brother? Why are they searching the whole city for him? Your brother must know some unknowable secret. There is another thing that is very strange."

"What do you say?" Zhang Maolan asked.

"The assassin this time was not from Zuiyanlou or Jinzhilou, but from Wuguo. Don't you think it's strange that the one who assassinated your brother was from Wuguo?"

"Wu people?" Jiao Niang slapped the table and murmured, "This can't be a performance of Infernal Affairs! There are gaps between the two countries."

"Yes! They are from Wu. I guess your brother must know a secret of Wu that is unknown to the people of the country. He made Wu send people to Zhou at all costs, just to keep that secret!"

"What is the secret?" Jiao Niang was eager to know the answer.

"I suspect it's the king's secret! Or maybe it's Zhou Tong's secret."

"What?" After hearing Yan Sheng's words, Jiao Niang couldn't believe that Yan Sheng dared to guess the Grand Prince of Zhou Kingdom.

"Yes! That's his secret. The person who came to kill me before was a disguise of me, in order to lure out the people behind him. The people who were preparing the ingredients in the kitchen were really caught. After that, everyone I met had that token. Jing Yang saw that the token was indeed Zhou Tong's token."

"Are you saying that Zhou Tong is behind all this? His purpose is to confuse everyone, and faked his death has always been his plan? Or does he want to manage two countries with the identities of Wu and Zhou in the future?" Jiao Niang analyzed it very clearly, and it felt like it was a conspiracy from the moment he entered the border where the two armies were fighting.

"Correct!"

When the two were reviewing the matter in the house, Yan Qin knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"What's the matter, sister?" Yan Sheng asked from inside the house.

"Come out for a moment, I want to ask you something."

Jiao Niang winked at him to go out, and when Yan Sheng opened the door he saw Yan Qin with his back to him.

"What's up, sis?"

Yan Qin looked behind him, and Yan Lang added, "Don't worry if Jiao Niang didn't come with us."

"Oh, let me ask you for the contact information of the coachman's boss first. I want Huang Jing to stay..." Yan Qin said timidly.

Yan Sheng smiled after hearing this, "Sister, Huang Jing is not here. He is just a part-time worker. Now his part-time job is over and he is leaving, so I can only ask the driver boss to reallocate the personnel."

Yan Qin suddenly felt disappointed after hearing his words, and also understood why he didn't stay.

"Do you know him?" Yan Sheng asked her tentatively.

"Yeah! We met a few times when I picked you up in Yun County and took you back to Xingwen County. I didn't expect to meet you again this time."

Hearing Yan Qin's words, Yan Sheng's eyes wrinkled slightly, and he murmured, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Yes, is it such a coincidence?" Yan Qin replied.

After Yan Qin found out that the man was a part-time worker, she returned to the house in a depressed mood.

Early in the morning, the driver who was to take over the shift arrived, but Huang Jing was nowhere to be seen. Yan Lang asked them to watch over the horses and left.

Yan Sheng met Huang Jing at a restaurant in the suburbs, "You go to Balang County first!"

Huang Jing asked in confusion: "Let me go to Balang County first? Big brother asked me to protect you secretly."

"No need for now. My people can handle the situation here. You take my soft sword. You can use it at any time. Remember to be ruthless."

"Okay, okay, then I'm going to kill a lot of people this time." Huang Jing gestured with the soft sword.

Yan Sheng knew that his third brother was a simple-minded person and didn't have many plans in mind.

Before the two separated, Yan Sheng handed him three magic bags so that he could use them whenever he was in doubt.

Huang Jing left with the soft sword. Yan Sheng held his soft sword and looked at it, then passed by a bamboo forest!

Yan Sheng observed for a moment and shouted, "Why don't you show up!"

Two people appeared in the dense forest, both holding long spears and dressed differently from the people of Zhou State.

"Who are you?" Yan Sheng asked.

"The one who wants to kill you!", the two of them rushed over immediately.

"Hmph! Arrogant." As Yan Lang raised his hand, a deep cut was made on the man's neck and blood gushed out!

The other person turned around and asked, "Who are you? Are you from Wu or Qi?"

The man didn't answer, turned around and wanted to leave, Yan Sheng raised his sleeve arrow.

"call out!"

A dull sound was heard, and the man fell to the ground!

Yan Lang went forward and looked through their clothes to find clues...

On a distant terrace, some people were watching the fight below, and one of them was dressed the same as the one who had just fought.

"Sir, this man is very skilled. I'm afraid we have to get past him to assassinate Chen Yanjun."

"He is just brave but not wise. Let's set up defenses on the road to Qingzhou County. We must kill him."

"Yes!"

After everyone left, the man took off his mask and began to breathe, "Mr. Chen Yan! Let me meet you." Then he sent a letter to the Wu Kingdom Palace, "Everything is going according to plan! I will help Your Highness find that person."

Yan Sheng searched the man for a while but found no useful clues, so he had to give up.

"No?" Yan Sheng murmured, "Let's see who will have the last laugh in this game of cat and mouse." Yan Sheng drew back the soft sword and set off back to the city.

When they returned to the inn, Jiao Niang noticed the blood on Yan Sheng's feet and asked, "Are you in trouble?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yan Sheng asked everyone to gather together and said to Yan Qin, "Big sister, you and the other three go ahead. I will leave tomorrow and I have already booked an inn in Balang County, so don't worry."

"Aren't you going with me?" Yan Qin asked.

"Yeah! There are still some things to take care of."

Yan Qin actually agreed without asking any reason, and even Jiao Niang felt it was abnormal.

After Yan Sheng made all the arrangements, he let them set off. Before they set off, he specifically instructed Yuan Lu to protect them well. I arranged for people in Ji County to go south to Balang County by water.

"By water?" Yuanlu confirmed.

"Yes! My friends are there to pick you up."

"Yes, the host!"

Yuanlu tidied his clothes and the people in the two carriages set off.

Before leaving, Yan Qin kept telling Yan Sheng, "Brother, you must be careful!"

Yan Sheng and Jiao Niang couldn't tell whether there was something behind his words, but Jiao Niang answered first, "Sister, we will definitely meet in Balang County."

After Yan Qin and the others left, Jiao Niang asked, "Are you exposed?"

"I don't know! But I know my people have been exposed!" Yan Sheng and Jiao Niang have already arrived at Zuiyan Tower.

Song Fengren, Jingyang and eight or nine other people were already ready to set off, and Yan Sheng's first question was to ask about Wu Jingui's situation.

"That man can't die!" Song Fengren replied.

"We'll set off after he wakes up! I met some outsiders in the suburbs today, and I feel they are from the Wu Kingdom." Yan Sheng asked someone to take the halberd from the carriage.

"Jingyang, can you see where this weapon is used?" Yan Sheng asked.

Jing Yang looked at the weapon for a while and replied: "This is a weapon from Qi, but how could a weapon from Qi appear in Zhou?"

"That's what I find strange. Today I met two people in the suburbs, and they all used weapons like this! But I found that they were not very good at using them, and even a little unfamiliar with them."

"Are you saying that someone is deliberately confusing people?" Song Fengren asked.

"Yeah!" Yan Sheng nodded.

Jing Yang continued to observe the halberd. "This weapon has been out of production in Qi for more than ten years. There are very few people who can make it now."

Yan Sheng and Jiao Niang looked at each other, and Yan Sheng murmured, "What a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence?" Mao Lan asked.

Yan Sheng thought about it and left the building. He got up and went to Yun County! He suspected that his elder brother was colluding with people from Wu State.

Not long after returning to Yun County, Yan Sheng met a group of people who were also going to Yun County, and their route was highly consistent with his own.

Yan Sheng looked at him several times, "Eight people?"

The eight people also looked at Yan Sheng, then lowered their heads to eat.

Yan Sheng ignored him and said to the waiter, "Give me a pot of the best sake!" Yan Sheng left with the wine without saying much, but before leaving he deliberately showed his soft sword.

Seeing Yan Sheng leaving, the leader of the eight people said, "Follow him and finish him off."

"Yes!"

Five people followed Yan Sheng, but Yan Sheng ignored them and continued to move towards Huang Jun's residence. The people behind him still chased him relentlessly.

Yan Sheng finally turned his horse around and faced them!

Pulling the reins, Yan Sheng asked not far away: "When?!"

The man said, "My master wants to discuss something with you?"

"What's the matter?" Yan Sheng asked in a low voice.

"You'll know when you meet my master. Please come with me!" The man said and set out to catch Yan Sheng.

"It's really interesting!" Yan Sheng said with a smile and drew out the soft sword from his waist!

He went forward and attacked, and within a round the man fell off his horse. "Don't waste my time, come at me all at once!"

After Yan Sheng finished speaking, he rushed over. The people drinking in the inn were waiting for the good news his people would bring back.

"Crench!"

The door opened, and Yan Sheng came in and said to the waiter, "The fine beer I just ordered was broken on the way. Please bring a new pot of good wine, boss."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" The boss took the pot and poured wine for Yan Sheng again.

Yan Sheng sat opposite the man, took out five different pieces of cloth from his waist one by one, raised his eyebrows and smiled at the man.

The boss fought for a long time. Yan Sheng passed by with a wine jug and whispered to the man, "If you dare to follow me again, I'll kill you!"

Yan Sheng mounted his horse and continued to gallop towards Huang Jun's residence. After a while, he arrived at his residence. The people in the brothel told Yan Sheng that Huang Jun had already left for Wu State.

"What? He went to Wu State?" Yan Sheng asked.

The mansion staff replied, "They left for Wu State three days ago and should be in Balang County now."

"Did he tell you what he was going to do in Wu State?" Yan Sheng asked.

"The young master left a letter when he left and asked me to give it to you or the third young master." The maid took out the letter, and Yan Sheng took out the letter and looked at it.

"Oh no, his goal is the same as mine!" Yan Sheng took the letter and hurried back to Qingzhou County.

He now began to worry that his elder brother's entry would disrupt his plan. In the letter, Huang Jun told him, "I am old enough to get married. Now I have nothing to do and want to go to Wu State to marry a princess. The betrothal gift is the imperial seal of Qi State!"

This time Yan Sheng is going to kill not only Zhou Tong but also their prime minister. The fastest way for Huang Jun to marry the princess is to let the prime minister choose the marriage.

In the Wu State Hall, Prime Minister Wang Pu and His Majesty the Wu State were discussing the marriage.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?" asked the Emperor of Wu.

"Your Majesty, I think the authenticity of this matter is still a little bit of a question. After all, we have never seen what this jade seal looks like. If it is a fake prince, wouldn't it bring shame to our Wu Kingdom? If it is true, wouldn't it provoke a war between us and Qi?"

The civil officials below shared the same analysis, but some disagreed.

"No matter whether it is true or not, we are not afraid of Qi. If it is false, we can just cancel the marriage. If it is true, then our Wu State will have two princes-in-law from Zhou State and Qi State. Then we can unify the world easily."

The people in the hall were arguing fiercely.

"Ahem!" Wang Pu cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, but I don't know if I should tell you or not."

"Prime Minister, please feel free to speak!" said the emperor.

"I have a daughter, and I want her to marry this man. First, even if he is a fake prince, I will find a way to get rid of him without hurting the reputation of the royal family. Second, if it is true, I hope Your Majesty can give my daughter the title of princess. I am willing not to accept the reward from Wu State!"

"What?!" The rest of Wencheng started discussing.

"Master Prime Minister, what do you mean by this? You only want the title but not the fiefdom and you want your daughter to marry him. I think you want to gamble on your own ~ his identity, or you already know his identity in advance."

Wang Pu smiled and said, "Sir Shangshu, you think I know his identity. I remember you have a daughter in your family. You might as well let your daughter marry him!"

The man didn't say anything, so Wang Pu continued, "I am the prime minister of the dynasty. If he is really a prince and is a good match for my daughter, I just want him to be loyal to our Wu Kingdom. Three generations of prime ministers in my Wang family have served His Majesty faithfully. I am afraid that he will really marry the princess and disrupt the government. As long as His Majesty of Wu is named Yao, I am willing to do anything."

"Good!" His Majesty was delighted to hear his words, "Come and grant the marriage! Report it to the entire Wu Kingdom."

The news spread throughout Wu State in an instant, and the palace in Qi State was in chaos when they heard the news.

"Ahhhhh!!!" His Majesty the Qi Kingdom was furious as he sat in the palace. "My dear ministers, do you have any ideas?"

No one answered. After the current monarch of Qi launched the palace coup, many old ministers chose to commit suicide to show their integrity, or resigned from their posts.

Now all that remain in the palace are warriors and mediocre people.

"Mute?"

At this time, a military officer stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we send someone to kill him? As long as he is not alive, the marriage cannot be held, and this will not hurt the reputation of our Qi State."

"Good! Good! I'll leave it to you then."

"Yes!"

The man who just spoke was one of the main forces behind the palace coup that year. He asked all his nine adopted sons to go to Wu State to prepare to assassinate Huang Jun, and told them that it would be better to kill ten people by mistake than to let one go.

Huang Jing was on his way to Balang County when suddenly a large group of people appeared in front of him.
