The queen is so fierce

Chapter 27 Undercurrent
Purple Mo City.

The heavy rain washed over the bluestone pavement, and there were only a few passersby trotting past with oil-paper umbrellas on the street.

The gate of Prince Wei's Mansion was tightly closed, and the guards at the gate looked at the street scene expressionlessly, only pretending not to hear the faint mourning in the courtyard.

Snapped--

"How many times has this king told you not to conflict with Xu Shoujing! Are you deaf?!"

"Father... uu... I know I'm wrong..."

Wei Wang Qiu Ming put down the ruler, pointed to the door, and said with a stern voice:

"roll."

Qiu Shilian hurriedly rushed out, keeping his head down the whole time, for fear that Qiu's fate would change his mind and pull him back to teach him a lesson.

When his unfortunate son left, Qiu Ming threw the ruler aside and sat on a chair to rest.

Tread-

There was a sound of footsteps on the veranda outside the house, followed by the voice of the old god:
"Your Highness, why are you so upset?"

There was an old man in a Confucian robe who knocked on the door and entered.

Qiu Ming glanced at him and said impatiently:
"She Zheng, you have assisted me for almost 13 years."

She Zheng stroked the long beard and nodded, "I remember that it happened to be when the late emperor passed the throne to the sage."

"I remember you said at the time that you could help this king get the throne, and this king never doubted it." Qiu Ming sighed, "But now, Huang Jie has asked Qiu Shangyun to help monitor the country... It's not Ben. Wang is not confident, but hope is getting slimmer."

The matter that Qiu Shangyun replaced Qiu Xuanji in the morning court this morning quickly spread throughout the capital, even if Qiu Ming didn't want to know, it spread to his ears.

In the past, according to She Zheng's suggestion, Qiu Ming tried to urge Qiu Xuanji to get married, just to put pressure on her, and from the results, it also played a big role.

But from time to time, the previous Qiu Shangyun only knew how to play around and had no interest in the state affairs. Even if Qiu Xuanji wanted to give up the throne to him, the courtiers present would not agree.

From this point of view, Qiu Ming didn't pay attention to Qiu Shangyun at all, so he always focused on Qiu Xuanji.

What I didn't expect was that Qiu Xuanji had announced the news very early that he was going to the morning court, but when the time came, he was nowhere to be seen, and instead he sent Qiu Shangyun over.

"Sister Huang is determined to start cultivating Qiu Shangyun. I'm afraid the small tricks in the past will not work." Qiu Ming sighed lightly.

"So in His Highness's opinion, is the Sage training King Zhao?" She Zheng suddenly chuckled.

Qiu Ming's original intention was to complain a few words, and by the way, let the disciple think about what to do next, when he heard him say that, he frowned:
"what do you mean?"

She Zheng gave him a meaningful look: "His Royal Highness, might as well think back, has the Holy Master ever broken his trust?"

Qiu Ming thought about it and said, "Of course not. My father taught me that the royal prestige is greater than the sky, and breaking trust is equivalent to losing people's hearts."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and immediately widened his eyes: "Don't you mean to say that Huangjie didn't let Qiu Shangyun go to Zaochao instead of her?"

She Zheng nodded with a smile, and continued: "Even if the Sage really wants to exercise King Zhao, he will not pick this sensitive time. The reason why King Zhao stood up is because the Sage has a reason why he can't go. "

Qiu Ming was taken aback by what he said, but he quickly waved his hand again:
"What you said makes sense, but Huangjie has been in Nirvana for a long time, and her talent is already excellent. It is not uncommon for her to suddenly have an epiphany. Maybe she really went back to Longyumen to retreat."

Seeing hatred and unbelief, She Zheng didn't care, smiled and said meaningfully:

"If I have definite news, what happened to the cultivation of the saint as early as five years ago?"

Qiu Ming shuddered, staring at him:
"Is this true? Five years ago... wouldn't it be the time to retreat to Southern Chu?"

Five years ago, Nanchu and Dali had the only major conflict after the founding of the state. From Huaizhou to Zhenyang Pass, the Empress Dali put on armor and retreated from the enemy for [-] miles. It is still a legend.

She Zheng nodded slowly and said, "Your Highness guessed right. The old man can also tell His Highness something. Five years ago, the Sage defeated Nanchu Shuang Nirvana with one enemy and two. One was Nanchu Emperor Jiang He, and the other was the old man... …”

"What did you say?!" Qiu Ming stood up in shock.

"Friend."

"..."

Qiu Ming coughed dryly and sat back in the chair:

"So, Jiang He and your... acquaintances injured Huangjie?"

She Zheng nodded: "The sage is worthy of his peerless talents. He is not defeated by one enemy and two. After the battle, Jiang He and his old friends were both severely injured. If it's true..."

As he said that, his eyes gleamed: "Since the sage took the throne, he has been confused about the Tao. In addition, he has dark wounds and damage to the foundation of the Tao. It has only been five years and it is impossible to break through."

The big hand on the book case trembled. Ever since he decided to get the throne at all costs, he had thought about whether he would face the situation of flesh and blood.

It seems that it is still far away, but it also reminds him that in the future, he will probably do things that the Son of Man will not tolerate.

She Zheng saw the complexity in his heart and said:
"His Royal Highness, those who achieve great things are not careful about the details. Even Emperor Zhenguan of the previous dynasty also killed his brother and killed his brother and took his sister-in-law by force, but he will still be remembered for his achievements in ruling the world in future generations."

Qiu Ming took a deep breath and remained silent.

She Zheng knew that he had figured it out, nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"His Royal Highness, a scout came to report this morning that Xu Shoujing went to the Broken Dragon Mountains alone..."

Qiu Ming was not in the mood to continue talking at this time, and waved his hand:

"This king understands, I will send someone..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the old man has already ordered someone to follow him, this time it will be foolproof."

Hearing this, Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment. Seeing She Zheng's unabated smile, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

……

……

The rain is getting lighter, but the ripples of the raindrops on the water surface of the river are getting smaller and smaller, and it seems that it is about to calm down.

slam-la-

The turbulent water flowed down from the top of the mountain and finally accumulated in a clear lake.

Xu Shoujing looked up at the waterfall that was several feet wide, and sighed very deliberately:
"It's really... flying down three thousand feet, it's suspected that the Milky Way is falling into the sky~"

After she finished speaking, she took a peek at the slender and beautiful figure walking in front of her, and found that she didn't care, so she had no choice but to give up.

In this day and age, there are still people who cannot move poetry...

Xu Shoujing followed Su Huanqing all the way, and he was not familiar with the place. Even if he wanted to talk to Zhao Fuyao, the earplugs disappeared because of the two shocks of the demon tiger.

Now that I can't go back to the capital, I have to continue to follow Su Huanqing and find an opportunity to ask how to get to the top of the Duanlong Cliff.

Xu Shoujing quickly followed Su Huanqing's side and asked:
"Where is this going?"

Su Huanqing glanced at him and said casually, "My place."

Xu Shoujing's face froze, is this taking me home?
too fast?

He couldn't help but said, "Can I follow?"

Su Huanqing glanced at him inexplicably, and said lightly:
"Come if you want."

However, the unfolding that Xu Shoujing imagined did not happen.

Su Huanqing's residence is actually in a cave behind the waterfall.

The cave is very shallow, and you can see the end at a glance. On the east side, there is a stone bed cut out artificially and covered with a clean straw mat.There was a wooden shelf in the center with a few clean clothes on it, and a few white smoke faintly emitted from the extinguished bonfire beside it.

Su Huanqing glanced at Xu Shoujing, saw his question, and said:
"I have some things to do in the Broken Dragon Mountains. It is inconvenient to travel to and from the capital, so I don't have an inn."

Xu Shoujing nodded thoughtfully and said with a chuckle:

"What are you doing? Need my help?"

His original intention was just to be polite, but Su Huanqing frowned and said after hearing this:

"You want to repay the favor? Not now, I don't need you yet."

"..." Xu Shoujing was choked hard, thinking that the girl was a little straight, and then said: "Where do I sleep? It seems that there is only one bed..."

- Why don't you sleep on the floor?

...Xu Shoujing wanted to make a joke like this, but before he could speak, he heard Su Huanqing tilt his head to look at him, and said coldly:
"You want to sleep with me?"

Xu Shoujing was stunned, blinked his eyes, and said nothing for a long time.

Su Huanqing thought for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes, but you must owe me two more favors."

"...?"
