Chapter 373 One link after another

At the same time, a farm near Linfengdu.

In the room, Nangong Chu's face was full of astonishment and full of disbelief: "Emperor Mingxi has been defeated! Ha... The Tianqi court changed hands in only five days!"

Zhou Tai replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the news I have received so far. My subordinates sent people to investigate Emperor Mingxi. The 10,000-strong army wanted to capture Murong Xuan for meritorious service, but Murong Xuan had already escaped. Gone."

Nangong Chu was still in disbelief: "Prince Yu actually asked for the tablet of Emperor Qianxing and broke open the secret room of the imperial study!"

"I really can't tell that Prince Yu, who has always been kind-hearted and low-key, has such a decisive side. Also, if he is too indecisive, he will not become the Emperor Qiyuan today."

Zhou Tai cursed angrily: "This Emperor Mingxi deserves it. He actually kept the message with the prince. Now like this, he is really shooting himself in the foot!"

Nangong Chu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, now he is no longer Emperor Mingxi's, and has become the first deposed emperor in Tianqi."

Zhou Tai responded: "Your Majesty is right. It's just that he is unlucky. He has caused the Prince to suffer for nothing. Now the people of Marquis Wu'an are looking for the Prince everywhere."

Nangong Chu looked indifferent and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Ever since I chose to pass through Tianqi, I expected that Marquis Wu An would try his best to find me. But I didn't expect that Marquis Wu An would use my matter to delay Murong. Xuan's imperial edict. It turns out that they had planned the day long ago, and if they delay it, it is no longer an imperial edict."

"As for keeping those messages, it is understandable. Not to mention Murong Xuan, even I, the king, also kept those messages, because we all have some thoughts, maybe one day, in case of emergency, we can threaten the other party. "

"Of course, it is impossible for me to carry those letters with me at all times. Therefore, we will always find a safe place to put them. And for Murong Xuan, the secret room in the dark hall of the imperial study is safe."

"The only thing Murong Xuan missed is that the royal priest can invite the late emperor's tablet from the Shouhuang Palace. Not to mention that Murong Xuan is the new emperor, even though I have been a prince for so many years, I have forgotten that the royal priest has this power. .”

"However, don't you think it's strange? You can just invite the late emperor's memorial tablet casually if you want to. Also, the imperial study room is the emperor's royal palace and the place where the imperial power is supreme. If Prince Yu smashes it, if he can't find those legends If you believe it, it is a serious crime of contempt for the imperial power and desecration of the ancestral temple!"

Hearing this, Zhou Tai was startled and understood instantly: "My lord, are you saying that Prince Yu already knew that there was a message from Murong Xuan to you in the secret room?"

Nangong Chu smiled and nodded in response: "Yes. So, the question lies in Prince Yu, no, it should be said, how did Emperor Qi Yuan confirm that there was a message in the secret room?"

"For so many years, Emperor Qiyuan has been peacefully acting as the prince of the clan. This is not false. Otherwise, how could Emperor Qianxing and Emperor Zongyuan not notice it at all? If Emperor Qiyuan can really hide such strength, and conceal it After so long, then this person is truly terrifying."

"But I think this is not the case. The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, especially Xiao Jinxi and Mo Yi, experienced a Mingxi Emperor. If Prince Yu was really such a person, they would not be able to support him in his ascension to the throne with all their strength."

"It only took five days to change owners. This is something that has never happened before. From the pumice in the Yunbai River in the north, to the gravel smashing down the altar of worship to heaven, to the broken Zhengui of Emperor Mingxi, to Jiang Peiyuan bringing The civil and military officials invited Prince Yu from the imperial mausoleum, then the person delivering the memorial to Marquis Wu'an was brought into the palace by Prince Gong, and then Prince Yu invited Prince Qianxing's tablet to break open the secret room. This link is linked together, and nothing is missing. With one link, Emperor Qiyuan’s accession to the throne would not be so smooth.”

Hearing this, Zhou Tai exclaimed: "Your Majesty, it seems that Emperor Qi Yuan really got the right time, location, and harmony this time!"

Nangong Chu shook his head and said: "No, Zhou Tai, if the right time, place and people are missing, it will be impossible to achieve it. At least it cannot be achieved within five days, and it may even be left behind by those who are interested." A basis for criticism.”

Zhou Tai was stunned for a moment, then thought of something: "Your Majesty, are you talking about Xiao Jinxi?"

Nangong Chu responded with a smile: "Yes, with Xiao Jinxi's arrangements at Wu'anhou Mansion and the Northern Territory, it is not difficult to accomplish these things."

"And Prince Yu and Prince Gong have Mo Yi. As for Mo Yi's strength, I have not yet figured out Mo Yi's strength."

"And there is a Qingluan in Wendinghou Mansion, but Qingluan is loyal to Mo Yi."

"The most important thing is that Mo Yi listens to Xiao Jinxi!"

"In Tianqi's game of chess, if one step is missed, it is impossible to change the master within five days."

"Ha...ha...Now it seems that Dai Viet was not unjustly defeated in this battle!"

Zhou Tai asked: "My lord, what are you going to do now? Tianqi has successfully changed its master, and now the subjects are united. I am afraid that Xiao Jinxi may not be threatened by us."

Nangong Chu shook his head: "No, Zhou Tai, the more times like this, the less likely Tianqi is to be chaotic. As the founding prince of the country, Wu'an Hou Mansion holds 300,000 troops in the north. In such an extraordinary period, it is even more important It's hard to bear the rumors. This is the bargaining chip for us to negotiate with Xiao Jinxi. We may not have no chance." Zhou Taiying said: "Your Majesty is right, can I help you make an appointment with Xiao Jinxi?"

Nangong Chu nodded and said, "Well, go ahead."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Tai hurriedly accepted the order and left.

Nangong Chu was left alone in the room. At this moment, Nangong Chu was not as relaxed as before. Prince Qi, who had occupied half of the sky in Dai Viet and held the world in his hands for many years, had a trace of uncertainty in his eyes at this moment. He clearly held someone else's fatal hand in his hand. secret, but at this moment, there is a hidden lack of self-confidence in his heart... Perhaps it is because Dai Viet has just experienced a big defeat, which has left a shadow in his heart! Maybe it’s because the opponent is from a special place! Or maybe it's the opponent's tenacity that makes him fearful! Or maybe it’s someone who has concerns and is afraid of getting involved!

Nangong Chuyuan looked out the window and frowned. Taoist Master Lingxu said that it was fate for Dai Viet to be defeated. Then how did you lose in the last life?

In this life, the chess game in which Dai Viet was defeated seemed to be played by Marquis Wu An, but I inexplicably saw Xiao Jinxi’s figure. And the game of chess where Tianqi changed its master made me see Xiao Jinxi's figure even more.

If Mo Yi had gone to the appointment that day, maybe I would have a better chance of winning. Mo Yi was so nervous about Xiao Jinxi and should put Xiao Jinxi first in everything, but that day Mo Yi did not go to the appointment and went to the northern military camp instead. Is this Xiao Jinxi's idea? Could it be that in the previous life, an assassination also occurred in the northern military camp? In this current situation, if I talk to Xiao Jinxi, do I still have a chance of winning?

for a long time.

Zhou Tai hurried back, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, there is news about Ye Qing."

Hearing this, Nangong Chu's face darkened and he asked angrily: "Where is it?"

Zhou Tai responded: "I heard that he is coming to the north. He should be near Yunfeng Mountain."

Nangong Chu shouted angrily: "Toward the north? So, he has finished his work and is going back to Dai Viet?"

Zhou Tai looked troubled and responded: "Your Majesty, we got this news from Xiao Jinxi. And... and Xiao Jinxi seems to have deliberately not concealed it."

"Xiao Jinxi!" Nangong Chu was confused: "Why did Xiao Jinxi get involved? Deliberately not hiding it? What do you mean?"

Zhou Tai said: "Your Majesty, our people found Xiao Jinxi's whereabouts and followed you secretly. Because they were afraid of being discovered by Xiao Jinxi's people, they stayed far away. What the previous group of people said, they were all I can't hear it, so I haven't been able to figure out what Xiao Jinxi is going to do?"

"But that day, Wei Mo loudly informed the Yulin Army and Emperor Mingxi that the Gu refiner named Ye Qing had found his whereabouts, and asked them to prepare to arrest him together."

"Your Majesty, Wei Mo's move is more like deliberately revealing Ye Qing's whereabouts."

Hearing this, Nangong Chu was surprised and confused, and murmured: "How did Xiao Jinxi know about Ye Qing? Could it be that Ye Qing went to Tianqi because of Xiao Jinxi? No, no, if this was really the case, how could he wait until now to arrest him? What’s going on here?”

Zhou Tai asked: "Your Majesty, the message for Xiao Jinxi has been sent out. Do you think we should stop it first?"

For a moment, Nangong Chu shook his head: "That's it, no need. We will see this side sooner or later. The later we delay it, the less likely we are to win."

Zhou Tai responded: "Yes, Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty, our people are already looking over there. Now that we have the direction, I believe we will find Ye Qing soon."

Nangong Chu frowned, thinking about something. After a moment, he shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, Zhou Tai, tell our people right away. It's better to follow them secretly. Don't interfere, and don't arrest Ye Qing."

"Don't catch it?" Zhou Tai wondered: "Your Majesty, if Xiao Jinxi's side doesn't work, don't you want Ye Qing to come back and plant Huanxin grass? Why don't you catch it?"

Nangong Chu frowned and said, "Zhou Tai, I always feel that something is strange here, but I can't figure out what's wrong for a while."

"But one thing is certain. It was absolutely impossible for Murong Xuan to tell Xiao Jinxi about Ye Qing back then. So, how did Xiao Jinxi know about Ye Qing?"

"Also, we have been looking for Ye Qing for so long, but we have never found any trace of him. But how could Xiao Jinxi find him? Unless...unless Xiao Jinxi had already targeted Ye Qing. Let's not interfere first, and let's see clearly first .”

"Yes." Zhou Tai responded: "Your Majesty is right. When I just received the news, my subordinates also felt very strange, how could Ye Qing be related to Xiao Jinxi. Okay, my subordinates will send a message to our people immediately." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

At this moment, Nangong Chu's expression became more solemn, and he murmured: "Xiao Jinxi, what exactly do you want to do?"

······

At the same time, there was a farmhouse on a mountain near Linfengdu in the north.
