Yan Mo's eyes showed a look of surprise: "Prince, is Beigong Liancheng really in the capital?"

"Whether he is in the capital city has nothing to do with us." Xiao Shaozong said: "He naturally would not be unclear about everything that happened in the capital. If he really wanted to get involved in this matter, he would have intervened long ago. Since he has not taken action so far, he would not take action again." A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips: "How could those extraordinary masters care about these trivial things that they think are not worth showing in their eyes. Moreover, compared to the matter in the capital city, the matter at sea is what they care about the most. At this time, Beigong Liancheng would certainly not be constrained by the matter in the capital city."

Yan Mo's eyes showed a smile: "In other words, everything will go according to the plan and there will be no big accidents."

"The greater the temptation, the smaller the possibility of an accident." Xiao Shaozong said calmly: "Since you have reached this point, even if you really have an accident, you can only go on like this."

"The most urgent thing is to find Qi Ning." Yanmo said: "With this person's current strength, although it will not pose too much threat, it is always a hidden danger."

At this moment, I heard footsteps, and then heard a voice saying: "Prince, Qu Xiaocang is asking for a meeting!"

Yanmo saw that the person was the eunuch Guihe, and said coldly: "Why did he come here to do at this time?"

But Xiao Shaozong said lightly: "Let him wait outside." After tidying up his clothes, he went out directly to the outer hall. He saw Qu Xiaocang already waiting with his hands down. Seeing Xiao Shaozong coming out, Qu Xiaocang stepped forward and bowed, "See the Prince!"

"What's wrong with Qu Shenhou coming to see me at this time?" Xiao Shaozong sat down on the chair and looked at Qu Xiaocang with a smile.

Qu Xiaocang said respectfully: "Prince, the house is empty in Luoguxiang. I think Qi Ning has now colluded with the Beggars' Sect."

Xiao Shaozong raised his eyebrows and frowned and said, "I don't seem to have sent you to investigate Luoguxiang."

"Prince, if Qi Ning doesn't get rid of it, it will always be a problem." Qu Xiaocang said calmly, "After Qi Ning escaped that night, I suspected that he might be hiding in the Beggar Gang. I had previously secretly sent someone to sneak into the Gui Jinyang Branch of Luoguxiang to find out the news, but the Beggar Gang is widely distributed in various streets, with several times more personnel than usual. Although I could not sneak in and see Qi Ning, the Beggar Gang's attitude as if he was facing a great enemy has proved that Qi Ning must be hiding in it."

Xiao Shaozong pondered slightly, and his expression became cold: "The Beggars' Sect really wants to get involved?"

"Qining has a lot of relationship with the Beggars' Sect." Qu Xiaocang said: "As far as I know, Qi Ning and the Beggars' Sect helped Xiang Baiying have a deep friendship. When the Beggars' Sect's Aoki Conference, this person won the trust of the Beggars' Sect. There are even rumors that Xiang Baiying's whereabouts are unknown, and Qi Ning temporarily took over the position of gang leader."

Xiao Shaozong said "Oh" and asked with a smile: "Does the Shenhou think Qi Ning will use the Beggars' Sect to make trouble?"

"The Shenhou Mansion has always dealt with major sects in the world and is more familiar with their situation." Qu Xiaocang said: "Although the Beggars' Gang is crowded, it is a scattered sect. Although it is known as hundreds of thousands of people, it is all divided into various places. The Beggars' Gang disciples who can be used as combat power near the capital are only two or three thousand, and the Ghost Golden Sheep branch in the capital is only hundreds of elite. Even if Qi Ning really colludes with them, it will not pose too much threat to the officers and soldiers. In addition, this Beggars' Gang may not dare to get involved. They naturally know that if they cause chaos in the capital, the consequences will be that the court will do its best to encircle and suppress the Beggars' Gang, and the Beggars' Gang cannot afford such serious consequences."

Xiao Shaozong nodded and said, "What the Lord of God thinks is the same as this king. The Beggars' Sect may secretly protect Qi Ning, but he dare not be an enemy of the court with the openness."

"What the prince said is very true." Qu Xiaocang said: "So, I went to Luoguxiang in the name of the Shenhou Mansion and went directly to find Elder Zhuque. The Shenhou Mansion was originally used to govern the major sects in the martial arts world, so it is natural for me to go to contact the Beggars' Sect. My original intention was to find Zhuque and persuade him to hand over Qi Ning, which was related to the life and death of the Beggars' Sect. I don't think he would not ignore the consequences."

Xiao Shaozong sighed: "Your method is actually not bad. If you come to the door directly, he will naturally know that you have already learned about Qi Ning's location. It is also a good way to directly confront him and see his reaction."

"Even if he really protects Qi Ning, I can explore his words, and in addition, it can also play a role in alarming the snake." Qu Xiaocang looked cold: "Since the Shenhou Mansion has set his sights on them, unless they really dare to rebel, they will definitely not dare to get too close to Qi Ning."

"It makes sense." Xiao Shaozong said: "You just said that the house is empty when people in Luoguxiang are gone, so what's going on?"

"I went to Luoguxiang in person and found that there was no one at the base of the Guijinyang branch." Qu Xiaocang frowned and said, "By Zhuque and Bai Shenghao are no longer there."

Xiao Shaozong sighed: "In this way, they also noticed that the court was staring at them, so they moved the place."

"It's true." Qu Xiaocang said: "But I will find their whereabouts soon."

Xiao Shaozong stood up, walked to Qu Xiaocang, stared at Qu Xiaocang's eyes, and after a long time, he said: "You seem to want to kill Qi Ning?"

"My name!" Qu Xiaocang hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed: "My name really wants to get rid of him."

“Why?”

"Yu Gong, he is a hidden danger to the prince's ascending the throne, and Yu private!" Qu Xiaocang looked directly at Xiao Shaozong's eyes: "If he is alive, he will definitely be jealous of his ministers, and maybe he will suddenly appear one day. Being thinking about such a person is not a good thing."

"Do you think he will kill you?"

"He must kill me!" Qu Xiaocang said: "I wanted to kill him the previous time, but he survived from death. This person will be revenged if he does not die. If he does not die, he will always find the minister."

Xiao Shaozong smiled and said, "I like your honesty. Qu Shenhou, don't worry, he won't live long!"

Qu Xiaocang was stunned, murderous intent flashed across Xiao Shaozong's eyes and said coldly: "He does want to kill you, but he wants to kill me even more. In fact, I don't have to look for him, and he will come to me sooner or later."

Qu Xiaocang frowned and said, "The prince thinks he will sneak into the palace?"

"It's not impossible." Xiao Shaozong sighed: "I can't completely block the imperial city. As long as there are gaps, this person may get in like a mouse."

Qu Xiaocang hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Prince, I have something to ask, but!"

"Just ask." Xiao Shaozong said.

Qu Xiaocang then said, "Prince, the emperor!"

Xiao Shaozong raised his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Are you trying to ask if he is still alive?"

"I'm taking the liberty." Qu Xiaocang whispered: "But if he is alive, it will be a hidden danger in the end, I think!"

Xiao Shaozong stared at Qu Xiaocang's eyes: "Do you think I should kill him?"

Qu Xiaocang immediately said: "I dare not. I just feel it!" He wanted to speak but stopped, but he didn't continue.

"I understand your thoughts." Xiao Shaozong whispered: "Are you worried that as long as Xiao Guang is alive, there will be a chance to make a comeback? He really deserves to die, but it's not yet time."

Qu Xiaocang frowned and said, "I think even if I don't kill him now, I can't let him stay in the palace."

"Oh?" Xiao Shaozong smiled and said, "Why did the Shenhou say that?"

"Prince, I'm sorry, there are many palace maids and eunuchs in this deep palace, and no one can guarantee that they are all right." Qu Xiaocang whispered: "At that time, Fan Dehai had a lot of prestige in the palace, and had a lot of confidants under his command. If these people were planning secretly, they would even think about it!"

Xiao Shaozong frowned and said, "Do you think these bitches will have the intention to rescue Xiao Guang?"

"I just think it's better to be in case." Qu Xiaocang said: "If he really escapes and meets Qi Ning again, things will be a little troublesome at that time."

Xiao Shaozong smiled and said, "If he makes a comeback, you and I will definitely be beaten to rebel by him. Will he be cut into pieces?"

"I don't dare!" Qu Xiaocang hurriedly bowed his head.

Xiao Shaozong smiled faintly and said, "If you don't stay in the palace, what do you think you should deal with it?"

Qu Xiaocang immediately said: "I dare not say much, it depends on the prince's verdict."

Xiao Shaozong thought for a while before whispering: "Don't worry, I keep him because I want him to watch me ascend the throne with my own eyes. I want him to see what my father lost at that time, I will take him back on behalf of my father. After I ascend the throne, I will execute him secretly."

"So that's it." Qu Xiaocang said: "The prince is wise!"

"He is now arranged in an extremely secret place." Xiao Shaozong whispered: "No one is allowed to approach the royal treasure house, and I have sent my trusted guards there. No one could have thought that I would lock him in the royal treasure house. Since he claims to be the emperor, I will let those rare treasures accompany him." At this point, a sneer appeared on his lips.

Qu Xiaocang said: "The royal treasure house is indeed a secret place, the prince is really smart." He bowed and said: "Prince, I should find Qi Ning's trace as soon as possible and present his head to the prince. At that time, the prince can ask Xiao Guang to write abdication edict, and the prince ascends the throne and rule the world!" He knelt down on the ground: "I wish my emperor a long life!"

Xiao Shaozong reached out and helped Qu Xiaocang up and smiled and said, "Qu Shenhou is too impatient. I have not registered yet. Long live your life. But I have promised you that after pacifying the north and unifying the world, I will grant you the title of the leader of the martial arts world. At that time, you will help me manage the major sects in the world, so that they can surrender to the court and be driven by the court!"
