The entire Kyoto Prefecture is divided into two urban areas by the central street that runs straight through it. Most of the common people live in the east city. Occasionally, a few nobles from the west city arrange their families here who cannot be seen outside. Therefore,

There will also be regular performances in Dongcheng, where a group of people dressed in luxurious clothes

In the West City of Kyoto Prefecture, noble ladies come here to look for their husbands. As for the West City of Kyoto Prefecture, because the imperial palace is here, the nobles of Kyoto Prefecture also live here. There is no drama of "looking for husbands" in the East City, but occasionally there are political opinions.

Here, the officials exchanged verbal quarrels with each other.

Yang Kang drove a carriage from Prince Liang's Mansion in the West City and drove into the middle street. The bells representing the nobles' travel kept swaying on the sides of the carriage, echoing with crisp sounds.

The carriage walked towards the North City of Kyoto Prefecture, passing through the mansions of nobles, and then stopped in front of the palace. Yang Kang stopped the carriage, then opened the curtain behind him, and Chu Boyu slowly got out of the car.

By this time, someone was already waiting for him at the palace gate.

When Chu Boyu saw the man's figure, he stepped forward and greeted him rather politely: "Good morning, Eunuch Hou, why are you here?"

The person waiting for Chu Boyu was none other than the chief eunuch beside Emperor Chu, Eunuch Hou.

When Eunuch Hou saw Chu Boyu being so polite, his face was naturally bright, but he was very flattered. He quickly returned the greeting to Chu Boyu and said: "Your Highness, Prince Liang, you are so polite, I want you to say hello to me personally."

, It’s really embarrassing for me. I’m here because Your Majesty asked me to wait here.”

Chu Boyu was a little surprised and asked: "Brother, the emperor asked your father-in-law to wait for me here? Did he know that I was coming?"

Eunuch Hou replied respectfully: "Exactly."

Chu Boyu looked at Eunuch Hou in front of him, thinking that the news should have been received in the palace.

"Your Majesty asks you to go directly to the Imperial Study Room." Eunuch Hou said respectfully again.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Chu Boxiong held in his hand the note handed over by the secret guard below this morning, his brows furrowed.

"Kong Xu, is this news accurate?" Chu Boxiong frowned and stared at the man in front of him.

"Your Majesty, it's very accurate. Moreover, the guard guarding the gate came to report this morning that at Mao hour, Qi Song from Qijiazhuang entered the Kyoto mansion."

"Qi Song?" Chu Boxiong pondered for a moment. It seemed that such a name appeared in his memory, but because it was so long ago, he couldn't remember exactly where it appeared.

"He is the son of the deputy general who fought with the Qi family in the Liuling battle."

Chu Boxiong suddenly realized that his memory seemed to return to the war many years ago, when he was just a prince.

The deputy general of the Qi family named Qi Zhihao risked his life to rescue himself from the enemy camp. At that time, Qi Zhihao was like a killing god, invincible.

"Your Majesty?" Kong Xu saw Chu Boxiong in a daze, so he called softly from below.

Chu Boxiong came back to his senses, sighed, and then said to Kong Xu: "If it hadn't been for Qijiazhuang in Liuling back then, I really don't know who would be sitting here talking to you now."

When Kong Xu heard Chu Boxiong say such words, he was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. Naturally, he did not dare to talk to him. This kind of thing would be fine once it was settled. If he said anything wrong, his life would be over.

Chu Boxiong faced Kong Xu, sighed softly, waved his hand, and said: "What happened back then has passed, so don't mention it anymore. You can go down. There may be more affairs in Kyoto Prefecture these days.

, you have to fulfill your duties as the governor of Kyoto."

Kong Xu naturally knew the meaning of Chu Boxiong's words. He was actually trying to find a way out for himself. After all, he was the one who gave the hush-hush order about the Liuling incident back then, and it was he who brought it up again today.

Kong Xu laughed bitterly in his heart, but he didn't show it. As a veteran in officialdom, he still had this ability.

"Your Majesty, please leave." Kong Xu made a big bow and slowly withdrew.

Chu Boxiong was alone in the imperial study room, holding the note in his hand, thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something else, and shouted outside the study room door: "Hou Sizheng!"

A high-pitched voice came from outside the imperial study room door: "Old slave is here."

"Go to the palace gate. If you meet King Liang, ask him to come directly to the imperial study." Chu Boxiong ordered.

Eunuch Hou responded outside the door, "Yes."

Then he left here in a hurry.

"I really don't know who is so bold as to attack Qijiazhuang." Chu Boxiong's eyes returned to the note in his hand, and his expression became cold, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Eunuch Hou brought Chu Boyu to the door of the imperial study. Eunuch Hou and Chu Boyu expressed their humility and then left.

Chu Boyu watched Eunuch Hou leave, and raised his hand to push open the door of the imperial study room, and saw Chu Boxiong who looked thoughtful inside.

"Brother Emperor." Chu Boyu called softly.

When Chu Boxiong saw King Liang coming in, he was obviously in a good mood and said to him: "Only you dare to open the door of my imperial study directly."

Chu Boxiong waved to Chu Boyu, asked him to come to the desk, and immediately handed the note in his hand to Chu Boyu.

"Posted last night

You should also know what happened."

Chu Boyu nodded and said: "I got the news early this morning that Qi Xuan, the young commander of the Capital Secret Service, left Kyoto Palace and returned to Qijiazhuang."

"Well," Chu Boxiong paused, and then said, "Send someone to find out who did this."

"Brother Chen has sent people to investigate. I heard that he is just an enemy of Qi Hanshan in Jianghu." Chu Boyu told Chu Boxiong what he knew.

Chu Boxiong sighed, and then said to his younger brother: "Well, let the Yasi capital find out which family it is, so that the Qi family can give an explanation."

"Um."

"We all came through that war. Back then, Qi Hanshan led Qijiazhuang to fully support me. It's thanks to him that I am sitting here. I just didn't expect that Qi Hanshan would suffer such a disaster."

"Brother Emperor..." Liang Wang Chu Boyu was about to speak but stopped.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Since the battle at Liuling, Qijiazhuang has received the help of the imperial brother. He is in charge of the gold and silver lifeblood of the world and serves our royal family. Now that Qi Hanshan is dead, Qijiazhuang will definitely be in chaos. If it is poisoned by the enemy again,

The consequences would be unimaginable." King Liang said to Chu Boxiong.

After hearing this, Chu Boxiong knew that what Chu Boyu said was reasonable, so he said to Chu Boyu: "Let Zizhan lead a group of black armored guards to Qijiazhuang."

"Hmm. Then...where is the Ansi..." Prince Liang paused for a moment, then continued, "Qi Hanshan dies, and the position of the Ansi's capital becomes vacant."

Chu Boxiong knew what King Liang meant. As the chief minister of the Yasi capital, King Liang had been in charge of Jianghu forces for many years. Naturally, he knew the true significance of the position of Ansi. The royal family had established the Yasi capital twelve years ago.

Then he selected various forces in the rivers and lakes to join the capital and serve the royal family. The Ansi was responsible for inquiring into all kinds of information in the rivers and lakes. How could the royal family

In just twelve years, all the power of the Jianghu was captured, and the Ansi was indispensable. Since the establishment of the Ansi of the Yasi Capital, it has been controlled by the Qi family. In order to better control the Qijiazhuang, the royal family

So he asked him to leave one person in Kyoto Prefecture, named Ansi, with the position of Shao Dusi. In fact, he was used as a bargaining chip for the royal family, so that Qijiazhuang did not dare to go too far.

But now that Qi Hanshan is dead, Qi Xuan has left Kyoto Prefecture, and the bargaining chip in his hand is gone, Chu Boyu is naturally afraid that Qijiazhuang will make moves below, after all, it is a powerful force in the world that controls huge gold and silver lifelines.

Chu Boxiong thought of this and said to King Liang: "Qi Xuan is a smart man. He knows when to do something."

"But others may not be smart people."
