Feng Qingge and Xue Xichen followed the phantom to the iron mine in the south of the city. They saw blazing fire that turned half of the sky red, thick smoke billowing into the night sky, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. From time to time, they could hear loud roars.
The three of them were surprised and concluded that this was the work of the mastermind behind the scenes, whose purpose was to destroy the corpses and hide the evidence of the crime.
The iron mine was destroyed and no evidence could be found, so they could only make a trip in vain. The three of them returned to the mansion. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Xiao Liuyue and Leng Junyi returning. Seeing Xue Xichen, Xiao Liuyue expressed concern
After asking Xue Xichen how he was, he smiled with peace of mind after receiving Xue Xichen's affirmative answer.
After returning to the mansion together, after listening to Phantom's words, Xiao Liuyue pondered for a long time and said: "The person behind the scenes is so ruthless and decisive, which shows that he has a firm mind and must have been planning for a long time. There are turbulent undercurrents in the court and distinct factions. This person
By making weapons privately, could it be that he wants to belong to the emperor's position and want to rebel?"
For some reason, the name "Feng Biqing" immediately popped up in Xue Xichen's mind. Although there was no evidence, she somehow concluded that Feng Biqing must have made the privately made weapons.
Leng Junyi said: "Although there are many factions in the court, apart from Qingge, the only one with such strength is the Sixth Prince Feng Biqing..."
Feng Qingge interrupted Leng Junyi's words, her words were filled with deep trust, "I believe in Bi Qing! He is used to being idle and has no intention of an official career. He only likes martial arts and writing, and will not covet the position of emperor. It can't be him.
!”
Xue Xichen took a deep look at Feng Qingge, unable to conceal her worry. Feng Qingge trusted Feng Biqing so much and was not on guard against him. Once it was proven that Feng Biqing was the person behind the scenes, how should Feng Qingge attack him?
, how can he accept it...
Feng Qingge said: "Perhaps there are people who are hiding deeper and we have not discovered it. When it comes to court affairs, I am afraid no one knows more about it than Qing Fei. When Qing Fei comes to visit someday, we will inquire more in detail."
"Civil officials dare not rebel because they do not have military power. But military generals are different..."
Xiao Liuyue held a cup of tea and said slowly, "The general has millions of soldiers. As long as he has weapons and military skills, and is familiar with the military defense of the capital, he will be able to attack the capital directly, kill the emperor and replace him."
Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi were shocked when they heard this. Isn't this what they were planning? Could it be that someone else was thinking of going with them? Also planning to lead troops to storm the capital to kill the emperor and replace him?
"The only generals in the court who have such strength are Brother Leng..." Xue Xichen blinked and said, "The three generals of Fengyu Kingdom - General Weiyuan Leng Junyi, General Zhennan Zheng Junhao, and General Jingbian Bai Biluo
, although they are all organized under the banner of Feng Qingge, they are their own faction. As far as I know, Zhennan General Zheng Junhao belongs to Fenglong Xiang’s faction. He is deeply trusted by Fenglong Xiang and is responsible for the important military affairs of the capital. He rarely leaves the capital."
"What Xichen said is true!" Feng Qingge said, "Although I hold the military power tiger talisman and can command millions of troops, Zheng Junhao and Bai Biluo are not of the same mind as me. One of them is Feng Longxiang's lackey, and the other
He seems to be a sect of his own from far away from the imperial court and into the rivers and lakes, but I suspect that he is a secret agent of the Fenglong Xiang sect in the hidden rivers and lakes of the imperial court."
"Are you talking about Bai Biluo?" Xue Xichen was surprised, "Bai Biluo doesn't act as a good general, but he associates with Jianghu people? This is indeed strange!"
Xiao Liuyue said: "I have also heard about Bai Biluo. This man is bold and righteous, and has great martial arts skills. He likes to make friends in the world and call him brothers. He is away from the capital all year round. He leaves military affairs to his deputy general and travels around the world.
, visited teachers and friends, learned various martial arts techniques, and even participated in last year’s martial arts conference.”
Leng Junyi said: "Bi Luo has a bold temperament and is outspoken. He does not like the constraints of being an official. If he were not forced by his family, he would not want to be this general at all. I don't think Bi Luo is a scheming person."
Phantom said: "Bai Biluo's father, Bai Zhangxian, was the former general of Jingbian. The Bai family is full of military generals and they are loyal to Feng Yuguo. Their subordinates do not think that General Bai has any intention of treason."
Feng Qingge chuckled, "I forgot that the Leng family and the Bai family are family friends. Jun Yi and Bai Biluo grew up together since childhood. They have a very good relationship and love each other as brothers. The person here who knows Bai Biluo best is Jun Yi."
"But the Bai family has the strength to rebel, doesn't it?" Xue Xichen said, "Until we find any evidence, everyone is worthy of our suspicion, including Mu Qingfei!"
Leng Junyi was shocked when he heard this, while Feng Qingge shook her head repeatedly, "Xichen, do you really have a grudge against Qingfei in your previous life? Why do you have to target him?"
Xiao Liuyue replied: "Because Mu Qingfei is a man of deep sincerity and is familiar with the affairs of the capital and the factions in the court. He also knows your plans. If he really wants to rebel, he only needs to wait for you to take action.
, there is another mantis behind, and in the name of saving the king and catching the thieves, he will catch you all, and he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself the emperor."
Feng Qingge was surprised and couldn't help but frown, "Liuyue, why do you even say that? I thought you admired Qingfei..."
"Appreciation is one thing. But as Xichen said, based on Mu Qingfei's scheming, if he really has the intention to rebel, he will definitely become our biggest obstacle. Qingge, you and Mu Qingfei are in the same dynasty
Having been an official for many years, you know him well and trust him, but Xichen and I have only known him for a few days, how can we trust him completely?"
Feng Qingge understood Xiao Liuyue's concerns. He said: "Liuyue, you are right. Gentlemen interact with each other openly. Although they cannot have harmful intentions, they cannot be totally defenseless. If you suspect Qing Fei,
You have your reasons. However, I believe that the final facts will prove that Qingfei is definitely a trustworthy person!"
"We don't need to argue about this matter." Xue Xichen interrupted their argument. Mu Qingfei's character is not something that can be seen clearly overnight. "Since Qingge believes in him, we believe in him!"
Xiao Liuyue glanced at Xue Xichen unexpectedly.
Phantom bowed his head respectfully to Feng Qingge, "My subordinates will go immediately to investigate the owner of the iron mine!"
After Phantom left, Leng Junyi said: "I'm going back first. Liuyue, Xichen, will you stay for the New Year?"
"OK!"
Feng Qingge said: "Jun Yi will definitely go home to spend New Year's Eve. I can invite Qing Fei to come and spend it with us. He is alone in the capital and has no family. He is also lonely. Liuyue, Xi
Chen, don’t you mind?”
"do not mind!"
It's just a New Year celebration with multiple people, so why should she mind? What's more, it's more lively when there are more people! And, the more people there are, the more New Year's money she can get! Hehehehe!
