Xiao Gui Rui Sui

After a proper disguise, a group of people swaggered into the city.Intentionally or unintentionally, everyone passed by Anyi Prince's Mansion, Jingxiang Prince's Mansion and other ministers' mansions, and found that these places were closely monitored.

Unable to return home, Situ Li's face was so gloomy that dripping water, Situ Rui also looked displeased.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, the group finally lived in Mingyue Tower.Situ Li asked his subordinates to gather people to find out the news, and Situ Rui also secretly contacted his own people to arrange matters.

After resting for a while, Situ Li and others went to find out the truth under the guise of visiting the capital.

The first destination is Shuyuzhai, a must-see wonderland in any tourist guide.

Shuyuzhai's business is as good as ever, and many customers are viewing the products.Situ Rui embraced Ji Xiaobai and looked at some favorite things of his daughter's family. Situ Li followed them with a cold face and acted as a bodyguard responsibly, while Xiao Ze stepped forward to chat with the shopkeeper.

First, he revealed his identity as the young master of a wealthy Jiangnan family, revealed that he wanted to make a big deal with his master, and expressed his hope to meet and negotiate with his master.The shopkeeper had secretly sized up the group of people before, and now Xiao expressed his wish again. The shopkeeper knew it well and promised to pass on the request to the owner, but it was up to the owner whether he saw it or not.

Xiao smiled, left his address, thanked the shopkeeper, and left with everyone, showing no worry of being rejected at all.

There is no need to doubt, Xiao is not worried.The owner of this Shu Yuzhai facade is Nan Qi, who is Nan Qi?People say that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Even if Shu Yuzhai's business has achieved this level, it can't change Nan Qi's money-loving temperament.As long as there is business, I am not afraid that Nan Qi will not do it!They just need to wait for Nan Qi to come to the door obediently.

Everyone wandered around the capital, and found that although the capital had fallen into the hands of Situ Tan, the people still knew nothing about it. On the surface, they lived and worked in peace and the atmosphere was peaceful, but in reality, there was a turbulent undercurrent. Maybe one day the dynasty would have to be changed. .

As expected, after the shopkeeper passed the news to Nan Qi, Nan Qi decisively came to Mingyue Tower to find someone to negotiate business with.

After welcoming people in and dividing the guests and hosts into seats, Situ Li cut straight to the point and went straight to the point.

"How is the situation in the capital? Is there a way to find out the situation in the palace?" Situ Li's indifferent voice shocked Nan Qi.

Looking at the big man with staggered scars and obvious achievements, Nan Qi was full of astonishment: "Si...Situ?"

"Ah."

"How did you make it like this?" Nan Qi looked at her curiously.Then she turned her gaze to the other three people, two of whom she did not recognize, but, "You...you are Ji Xiaobai?" Nan Qi clearly recognized the owner of a certain pair of shining eyes towards the food.

"Yeah." Ji Xiaobai nodded, his gaze fell back to the plate of cumin roast meat.

"What are you doing?" Nan Qi was puzzled, "Situ, you just said that you want to find out the situation in the palace? But what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Situ Tan forced the palace to usurp the throne." Xiao sipped his tea and said with a smile.

"It's actually like this...!" Nan Qi exclaimed, and turned to look at Xiao curiously, "Who is this?"

"Under Lin Xiao, I have long admired the name of the Fourth Prince."

"Lin Xiao? So he's the number one scholar!" Nan Qi sized him up with interest, "It's better to meet him than to be famous. Mr. Lin is really handsome and talented..."

"...Fourth prince is overrated." Xiao rubbed his nose and smiled.

"Then this one?" Nan Qi turned her eyes to the handsome young man who had only glanced at him since he entered the door, and her gaze had been fixed on Ji Xiaobai all the time.

Because he is an acquaintance, Ji Xiaobai is not hypocritical, he started after greeting Nan Qi, anyway, he doesn't understand those things, he just needs to fill his stomach, and Situ Rui silently helps him peel the shrimp shell.

"Hehe, this is our well-known Prince Jingxiang." Xiao looked at him unmoved, and only cared about helping Ji Xiaobai with a light smile.

"It's actually Prince Jingxiang! Disrespect and disrespect!" Nan Qi said in surprise, looking at the few people more and more curiously.

It turned out that the rumors turned out to be true, King Anyi and King Deqian were on the same road!

When Situ Rui heard the words, he just nodded and didn't speak.Jiong Nanqi, why is King Jingxiang colder than Situ?

"Is there a way to get news from the palace?" Situ Li asked.He and Situ Rui's people came back to report, saying that the palace was surrounded as tightly as an iron barrel, except for a few people, no one was allowed to enter or leave.In order not to startle the snake, he ordered his subordinates not to act rashly.Otherwise, there is no need to trouble Nan Qi now.

"It's going to be difficult. I'm still wondering why the people in the womb don't run to me. It turned out that such an incident happened! It made me lose all my money..." Nan Qi complained.

The corners of Xiao's mouth twitched, Situ Li also gave him a cold look, Nan Qi smiled embarrassedly, "Well, hehe..." She was suddenly taken aback, and said seriously: "I'm busy inquiring about news. I can't help, but there is someone who might be able to help. I just don't know if he is willing or not."

"Oh, who?" Xiao Taohua raised her eyes lightly, slightly surprised.

"Zhou Ang." Nan Qi explained with a smile, "Yesterday he came to Shuyuzhai to buy a bracelet, saying that he would give it to his sweetheart. But the strange thing is that others happily choose gifts for their sweetheart, but this Zhou Ang's face was full of bitterness, and he was in a trance from time to time..."

"Zhou Ang, the son of the Prime Minister?" Although he is an official in the same dynasty, but the faction is different, Xiao doesn't know this person very well, and he has only met him a few times. He probably knows that this person is also a young talent, but it is because of his father. , can only follow Situ Tan.It stands to reason that now that Situ Tan is in power, as far as his status is concerned, at such a sensitive time, he is not waiting in front of and behind Situ Tan, but he actually ran out to pick out gifts for his sweetheart, with a bitter expression on his face?interesting!

Glancing at Situ Li, Situ Li frowned slightly, as if he was in deep thought.

After sending Nan Qi away, they were silent.Xiao secretly thought about how to get rid of Zhou Ang, when Situ Li said, "I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight."

Situ Rui raised his head and said disapprovingly, "Why don't you let your people go?" As far as he knew, the people around Situ Li were all skilled. Gao, but there is no need to do it yourself, right?

Situ Li didn't explain much, and looked like I had made up my mind.Xiao was curious, but didn't ask any further questions.Even if he knew that there must be something hidden in it, Situ Li would never tell him now.

I sighed in my heart, feeling a little depressed.The current situation is not suitable for the two to recognize each other...

Prime Minister's Mansion

"The things are ready?" Zhou Ang looked out of the window at the Yuxiang flowers, which looked more graceful under the light of the lights, with a dazed expression.

"Yes, young master." The book boy replied respectfully, seeing Zhou Ang standing still and stupidly, he reminded: "Young master, master please go to the study."

"Understood." Zhou Ang replied lightly, but he didn't have any intention of leaving.

The book boy was a little anxious, the young master didn't know what was going on these days, he was always depressed, and he was in a daze and didn't know what happened. "Master, just go there, don't make the master wait."

Zhou Ang sighed softly, finally turned around, and went to the study under the worried eyes of the book boy.

"Father." Zhou Ang respectfully saluted the current prime minister sitting behind the desk, and then stood silently aside.

Prime Minister Zhou Mao frowned, and reprimanded displeasedly: "What happened, let's see how sluggish you look these days! The situation in the palace is tense now, why don't you serve His Highness well in order to win a good position in the future , but ran back home to hide? It’s just nonsense! You go to His Highness and stay there for me tomorrow!”

"Father, I won't go." Zhou Ang said with his head down.

"Have you messed around enough?!" Zhou Mao slapped the table fiercely angrily, "Now that His Highness is about to accomplish a major event, it's time to show our loyalty, yet you can't say it?"

"Father!" Zhou Ang said fearlessly to Zhou Mao's blazing eyes. "Whether your highness will succeed or not is unknown, are you not afraid that if this action offends the emperor, I will die without a place to die in the future?"

"Idiot! Your Highness is in control of the overall situation, and this world is already in your pocket! The emperor has been placed under house arrest, and will soon pass the throne to His Highness, and His Highness will take over the world in a very short time! I will not wait here When will you contribute more!"

"Father! Are you so optimistic about Situ Tan? Is it really good for him to sit in that position?" Zhou Ang said weakly.Zhou Mao and Concubine De are cousins, so Zhou Mao has always supported Situ Tan, and even though he didn't like Situ Tan in his heart, he was forced to follow Situ Tan when he was young.He knew exactly what kind of person Situ Tan was, and it was definitely not a blessing in the world for him to be king.Compared with Situ Tan, he admired Deqian Wang Situ Rui more, even Anyi King Situ Li was much better than Situ Tan, but...

"Nonsense! How can it be bad? Based on the relationship between my Zhou family and His Highness, as long as His Highness takes that position, my Zhou family will surely be prosperous and prosperous, and it is no problem to become the No. 1 famous family in the capital! And I, Zhou Maoke It is the real one who is under one person and above ten thousand people! This kind of honor is something no one else can ask for! Don't say stupid things anymore, show me more, and don't let people compete for the benefits in front of His Highness!" Zhou Mao Seriously exhorted.

"Yes, father..." The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.Zhou Ang knew very well that the Zhou family and Situ Tan were both hurt and prosperous. No matter how sad he was, he had to accept this fact.

Returning to the courtyard where he lived, Zhou Ang carried the things prepared by the book boy in despair, and left the prime minister's residence on horseback through the back door under the cover of night.Situ Li, who had been following behind him all the time, followed him with no expression on his face.

Zhou Ang rode his horse and ran towards the city gate.The soldiers guarding the city gate just wanted to reprimand someone to get off their horses, but when they saw that it was Zhou Ang, they immediately put on a respectful dog-legged look.Originally no one was allowed to enter or leave, but because of Zhou Ang's identity, he obediently opened the door.

As soon as he got out of the city gate, Zhou Ang rode his horse and galloped like a caged bird finally freed.Seeing that crazy look, Situ Li frowned, and he had to spend some effort not to be shaken off by him.

In the silent night, one person rode alone in the dark.Zhou Ang's face was sad, his eyes were full of distress, and the pain in his heart forced him to vent it out in this way.It wasn't until they reached the destination that they let go of the tightly held reins, and one person and one horse slowly calmed down.

Situ Li frowned and looked at the surrounding environment, only to realize that this was a cemetery in the outskirts of the city, and only then did he understand Zhou Ang's purpose for coming.

Zhou Ang got off his horse, tied the horse to an old locust tree, and walked towards a tombstone with difficulty, carrying a bamboo basket.Situ Li's red pupils narrowed slightly, and with his extraordinary eyesight, he clearly saw the words on the tombstone - the tomb of Shu Qin'er.

"Qin'er, I'm here to see you." Zhou Ang looked at the tombstone with tender eyes, traced the words on the tombstone lightly with his fingers, and said softly, "Today is your birthday, so I went to Shuyuzhai to buy it. The hairpin you like, look, isn’t it beautiful? It must be beautiful on your head..."

Under the bleak moonlight, the man uttered his love language as tenderly as possible, but unfortunately his lover was no longer there, and what he faced was only a cold tombstone.The man seemed to be under great pressure, and he burst into tears as he spoke.

Situ Li hid aside and looked at each other coldly.At that time, in order to deceive others, he deliberately created the illusion of pursuing Shu Qin'er.In order to be realistic, he specially asked someone to investigate Shu Qin'er for the convenience of acting. At that time, he discovered the underground relationship between Shu Qin'er and Zhou Ang.But it was none of his business, and he didn't care. After being rejected by Shu Qin'er, he didn't bother after he achieved his goal.He didn't know what happened to the two of them afterwards. When the crown prince was abolished and the concubine was actually Shu Qin'er, he was surprised at first, but after all, it was someone else's business, and he didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that there is something else. Hidden secrets.

"Qin'er, I'm sorry for you..." Zhou Ang hugged the tombstone and cried bitterly, "I know that Situ Tan killed you, but I can't avenge you, and even help the evildoers... I'm such an incompetent person! I can’t even protect the woman I love! I can’t do anything to watch her being taken away by others, and I don’t even have the courage to speak out my love language... How can a man like me still live in this world? I’d rather just look for it like this You don't want to live in such a useless way... Could it be that God has also seen my essence, that I don't deserve your love, and that's why he let you leave me?"

"Father asked me to work for Situ Tan, but every time I saw Situ Tan, I wanted to kill him with my own hands. I was filled with hatred, but I still had to pretend to be loyal. Do you think I am hypocritical to the extreme? What do you say?" For the sake of the Zhou family, but who has thought about me? I believe that in the eyes of my father, there is no need to consider everything other than power. Even his son, I am just a pawn for him to gain power... I will soon suffer No more, what do you think I should do? Hahaha..."

Situ Li listened patiently to Zhou Ang's nagging, his red pupils were full of disdain.

Zhou Ang vented, and finally felt much better. He looked at the tombstone and said in a low voice, "Qin'er, if I have the chance, I will definitely avenge you, no matter five years, ten years, or 20 years...Situ Tan now The power is in my hands, I can't help it, but people are doing what the sky is watching, such a person will not end well after all! I will wait for that day to come... "

Seeing that he finally returned to normal, Situ Li couldn't help but said, "Is it finished?"

Startled, Zhou Ang suddenly turned his head: "Who?" After seeing who was coming, he couldn't help but take a breath.In the vast night, a person stood quietly between the sky and the earth, the iconic birthmark winding on the firm face, and the strange red pupils shining brightly in the dark night.

"Situ Li..." Zhou Ang said subconsciously, the person who came was the King of Anyi, Situ Li.Isn't that what he just said?Zhou Ang broke out in a cold sweat, clenched his hands involuntarily, and looked at Situ Li warily.
