Sun Xin didn't know yet that he had become someone that both the emperor and the prince wanted to bribe.

At this moment, he was standing outside, listening to Sun Ping's wailing in the house. Thanks to Sun Xin's medicine, Sun Ping's eyes were swollen like two big buns, and his eyes were extremely painful, and he was almost blind.

"Ah! It hurts so much! Sun Xin, go get me a doctor, quickly!"

"Yes, godfather."

Of course Sun Xin wouldn't invite him. He just walked around the street and came back to report, "Godfather, the palace said the imperial physician is busy and has no time."

Sun Ping was so angry that he cursed the imperial physician for being a snobbish person, and also scolded Zhao Yuanqing for being a vicious and cruel person, hoping that he would not die a good death.

Sun Xin couldn't stand to hear this. He sneered a few times, took out the medicine again, put it into the soup bowl for Sun Ping, and fed him to drink it.

At night, Sun Ping wailed all night, and the next morning, his eyes were completely blind.

Sun Xin looked towards the direction of the palace, where the person he cared about most lived. No one could hurt her, not even Sun Ping.

But Sun Ping was a second-rank official, and he became blind for no reason, so he had to go to the palace to report it.

Sun Xin disguised himself, acted heartbroken, and went to see the emperor.

"Your Majesty, my godfather has lost his sight."

The emperor was happy and was about to capture Sun Ping when his eyesight failed. Just as he was dozing off, someone brought him a pillow. It was really wonderful.

I asked the imperial physician to examine me, and he said that because of the impact, there was a blood clot in my brain, which affected my vision. As for when I will be able to see again, it's hard to say. In four words, I'll leave it to fate.

As a result, the position of Jiedushi of Longyou Road became vacant, and all the ministers in the court went crazy and rushed forward to snatch it.

The three major groups, namely the civil service group, the military service group, and the aristocratic family group, all joined the battle. Among them were the prince's people and the people of other princes.

The emperor was uneasy about letting any one of them dominate the power, so he gave the position of Jiedushi of Longyou Road to Sun Xin.

But because Sun Xin was too young and they were afraid that he would not be able to convince the people, they appointed three deputies to help Sun Xin with his work and also to supervise him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the prince placed his own people in.

Everyone was very satisfied. At least they had inserted one person into the group. Once they got to Longyou Road, they could find a way to sideline Sun Xin. After all, he was just a young man and didn't know how much ability he could have.

The one who suffered the most was Sun Ping. When he came, he brought two godsons and a favorite concubine with him. How glorious it was.

Unexpectedly, when he returned, one of his godson had died, his favorite concubine was gone, he was blind, and he lost his official position. He was so unlucky! Could it be that the feng shui of this capital city was unlucky for him?

But this is too much of a coincidence. How come they all got into trouble, but Sun Xin was the only one who was fine? Not only was he fine, but he even got a promotion?

According to the principle that whoever ultimately benefits is the murderer, Sun Xin is the murderer!

Sun Ping's heart started pounding. Damn it! Sun Xin must have schemed against him!

He called his personal servant Eleven and gave him some instructions. Eleven then nodded and left.

After leaving the room, Eleven went straight to Sun Xin's room and knocked on the door. "Seventh Master, I have something to talk to you about."

Sun Ping adopted many adopted sons, and Sun Xin was the seventh among them, so people in the mansion often called him the Seventh Master.

"what's up?"

Eleven fell to his knees with a thud, "Seventh Master, the master told me to buy some rat poison to kill you."

Sun Xin stood up, walked around Eleven, and laughed, "Why are you saying this to me?"

"Seventh Master, you are now the Jiedushi. I know my duty as a servant. I am loyal to you."

"What do you want from me for telling you something so important?"

"I have no other request but to be at your side and wait on you afterwards."

"If you want to be my man, you must pass my test. Let me test you. What do you think we should do about this?"

Eleven's eyes lit up, and he clearly wanted to make a contribution. "Seventh Master, if you ask me, it's better to buy the rat poison and just give it to me. That way, everything will be over!"

Sun Ping smiled, which made Eleven nervous. He said, "Let me think about it. You go out first. Don't tell anyone about this."

"Yes."

After Eleven left, a young man walked out from behind the screen. He patted Sun Xin's shoulder in a familiar manner and said, "This kid is really cruel. He turned his back on his old boss as soon as he stepped down. How dare you accept such a person?"

"Of course not. If he can betray Sun Ping today, he can betray me tomorrow. No one wants a traitor."

"Then what are you arguing with him about? Isn't he going to buy rat poison? Let him buy two packets, one for him and one for Sun Ping, and they'll both be poisoned to death."

Sun Xin shook his head, "No."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Sun Ping cannot die. He knows a lot of confidential information about the Longyou Road. Moreover, if he is kept alive, he can be used to hold the emperor hostage to control the other princes."

"You're using the emperor to control the other princes. Why make it so complicated? Just kill, kill, kill! Kill anyone who doesn't obey!"

Sun Xin glared at the young man. "You only know how to kill! Pang Hui, both of them rebelled, but do you know why Sima Yi is forever infamous, while Cao Cao is both praised and criticized?"

"why?"

"Because Sima Yi had no legitimate reason to kill the emperor, Cao Cao, on the other hand, held the emperor captive in his hands, using him to control the other princes."

Pang Hui understood, "You want to control Sun Ping and take control of Longyou Road?"

"Yes, there are dozens of Sun Ping's adopted sons in Longyou Road. They are in charge of Longyou Road's army and resources. I have to deal with them one by one when I go back. I need Sun Ping's help."

Pang Hui waved his hand. "It's good that you have your own plans. I came here to tell you that the prince wants to meet with you. Do you want to go?"

"Recently, many people have come to see me, including the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince. I don't show favoritism and will meet them all."

"I've brought you this. You can decide for yourself. I'm leaving now."

"it is good."

Pang Hui is gone. He is now a retainer of the prince, specializing in gathering information for the prince.

Pang Hui has another identity, that is, the orphan of the army under the rule of Zhao Zhenguo, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the same is true for Sun Xin. Their fathers died in battle and their mothers remarried. There are many orphans like them. They are all raised in a charity home by the Marquis of Zhenbei, who provides them with food and drink, and allows them to study and practice martial arts. When they grow up, they are assigned tasks according to their abilities.

Pang Hui liked freedom, so he disguised himself as a knight and came to the capital to gain experience. Finally, he became a retainer in the prince's mansion. The prince was the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei, so he was serving his family.

Sun Xin was more ambitious. He went out to travel at the age of fifteen. With his excellent martial arts skills, he caught the attention of Sun Ping and became his adopted son. From then on, he lurked in Longyou Road, ready to protect the Zhenbei Hou lineage at the critical moment.

In Sun Xin's heart, whether it is the Marquis of Zhenbei, the Queen, the Crown Prince, or Princess Shanzhen, they are all people he wants to protect.

Sun Xin left the house, went to Eleven's room, took him down, and tied him up like a dumpling. Eleven shouted, "Seventh Master, what are you doing?"

"You'll find out soon!"

Sun Xin carried Eleven to Sun Ping's house and threw him to the ground. "Bang!"

Sun Ping was sitting on the bed, waiting for Eleven's reply. He was startled when he heard the voice. "Who?"

"It's me, godfather!"

"It's Sun Xin, what are you doing here?"

If you want to put on a good show, you have to do it in full. Sun Xin fell to his knees and cried, "Godfather! What did I do to deserve this?"

Sun Ping stuttered, "I, I, I, what did I do to you?"

"Eleven, tell me exactly what you just said to me!"
