327: Diverting trouble to the east, what is the truth?
The other party was silent for a few moments and then warned: "Your Highness, be careful."
"I know."
The seventh prince narrowed his eyes and replied calmly.
Emperor Wu had many heirs, and there were about thirty princes. After excluding those who were unable to compete, there were at least fifteen or sixteen competitors.
Compared with his brothers, the Seventh Prince does not have a powerful mother clan, nor does he have a sect with strong support...
But he is lucky, he has an ally who has been secretly helping him.
Although the other person is not a human being, he has been helping and protecting him since he was a child.
Just some time ago, the other party gave him another piece of news, allowing him to find a good opportunity to successfully build a bridge with Prime Minister Wei who was sent by the Prime Minister.
According to his vision, as long as Zuo Chongming died smoothly, he would be able to gain support from the Prime Minister's faction and become a strong competitor.
Unfortunately, God failed and the plan failed.
The seventh prince originally thought that the Fox clan had failed, but after receiving Hu Mei's secret letter and understanding the whole story, he understood what it meant to be speechless.
To be fair, against Zuo Chongming, Guiyuan... no, he is now a Yuanhai realm warrior, and Hu Mei is very confident in making a move.
The Qingqiu Fox Clan avoided accidents and even sent a seven-tailed sky fox as a backup.
But what I never expected was that Zuo Chongming was an even meaner guy, and there were four Dharma Realm bosses behind him.
How to fight this damn thing?
Failure is an inevitable result!
The seventh prince came to visit this time. Firstly, he wanted to explain the situation and avoid Wei Tao from misunderstanding him. Secondly, he wanted to discuss a plan to get rid of Zuo Chongming.
In the view of the Seventh Prince, since Zuo Chongming came to the capital and had no monk as his bodyguard, it would be easy to kill him.
As long as Zuo Chongming is killed and the support of the Prime Minister's faction is obtained, it is almost certain.
But he never expected it.
Zuo Chongming actually wanted to visit the Prime Minister.
This is a typical weasel greeting the rooster - he is uneasy and kind-hearted.
The seventh prince thought again and again and decided to stay and wait and see.
If Zuo Chongming was really looking for trouble, he might be able to seize the opportunity and win Wei Tao's favor.
"Your Highness, Lord Marquis."
A rich voice suddenly sounded: "The head of the family should have welcomed you in person, but unfortunately he has not recovered from his serious illness, so I hope you two will move to the main hall."
Zuo Chongming got out of the car, cupped his hands with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, please lead the way."
At this moment, a rather magnetic voice came: "I have heard about the champion young talent for a long time, but when I saw it today, it turned out to be extraordinary."
Zuo Chongming heard the sound and looked around, only to see a handsome man with a face like a crown jewel, slightly feminine, walking over slowly with his hands behind his back.
He wears a jade crown on his head, a brocade belt hanging from his waist, his robe is dark black with gold embroidery on the edge, and a gorgeous picture of mountains, rivers and vegetation is embroidered on his chest.
After looking at it for a while, Zuo Chongming said seriously: "Zuo Chongming has lived in the frontier for a long time and has never heard of what happened in Beijing. May I ask which His Highness is in front of you?"
The man returned the courtesy and said: "You are so polite, Lord Zuo, I am Nanyu."
Zuo Chongming suddenly understood: "It turns out he is the seventh prince. I have admired him for a long time."
Nan Yu smiled reservedly, stretched out his hand and said, "What's wrong with Zuo Hou? Let's go in and talk. Don't make the Prime Minister anxious."
"Your Highness, please."
Zuo Chongming turned slightly to let him go first.
After all, he is a prince, and regardless of his actual power, in terms of status, he is indeed higher than a prince. After all, he has a good father.
Seeing him knowingly getting out of the way, Nan Yu's lips slightly raised in a smile of satisfaction.
Nan Yu was the first to say something, "I heard that Zuo Hou returned to Beijing this time because of the remnants of the Liansheng Sect?"
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming sighed heavily: "The new leader of the Liansheng Sect is Ji Changyun. This man is really powerful. His mind and ability should not be underestimated."
Nan Yu smiled slightly and gave him a high hat: "Unfortunately, no matter how hard he planned, he was still no match for Zuo Hou, and he failed in the end."
Zuo Chongming smiled bitterly: "The Liansheng Sect is like a weed, it can't be shoveled away or eliminated. A temporary victory is nothing. You need to be more careful in the future."
Nan Yu's eyes showed admiration, and he truly praised: "Zuo Hou is so young, has such thoughtful thoughts, and has a calm and calm mind. I really admire him."
"Your Highness is so complimentary."
Zuo Chongming smiled modestly and secretly transmitted the message: "To be honest with Your Highness, the fox demon Ji Changyun invited from nowhere has been captured alive by me. He is quite beautiful... Haha, if Your Highness is interested..."
"Forehead……"
Nan Yu's smile froze, and he subconsciously glanced at him a few more times, a little unsure of his intentions.
Showing favor? Digging a hole? Testing?
He furrowed his brows and walked away calmly, silently pondering this doubt in his heart.
Not long after, several people came to the main hall.
Zuo Chongming raised his eyelids and saw Wei Tao, who was in the first place and looked very old.
I have to say that Wei Tao is much older now. If he hadn't still had some imagination as before, I wouldn't have believed that he was Prime Minister Wei.
The wrinkles are deep and crisscrossed.
The eyes are cloudy and the condition is sluggish.
Not only has most of the hair fallen off, leaving only a few sparse strands, but even the exposed skin is covered with spots of varying sizes...
Zuo Chongming sighed: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I never thought that the Prime Minister would... Alas, you are the pillar of my court. You must take care of yourself."
Wei Tao looked at him intently with his brown eyes, and said hoarsely: "Long time no see, Lord Marquis looks as good as ever, and his cultivation is getting better and better."
It seemed like the conversation was just reminiscing about old times, but it sounded extremely weird.
I don't know why, but Nan Yu had goosebumps all over his body and felt uneasy all over.
"Your Highness, Lord Marquis, please sit down."
Wei Tao lowered his eyes, picked up the tea cup and said, "I'm sorry for my inconvenience, I can't salute you two..."
Nan Yu quickly said: "What are you talking about, Prime Minister? You'd better take care of yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Wei Tao twitched the corners of his lips, forced out a smile, and then looked at Zuo Chongming: "The Marquis is here to visit me. May I ask what the matter is?"
"Oh, I'm ashamed to say that."
Zuo Chongming smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that Mr. Wei... I am very sad. But I am at the border, so I can only order someone to express my condolences on my behalf."

The tea cup in Wei Tao's hand suddenly fell and shattered all over the floor with a loud bang.
His face was even redder and bloodshot, and his eyes were filled with frightening bloodshot eyes. He glared at Zuo Chongming and opened his mouth to speak.
"Cough, cough..."
However, as soon as Wei Tao was about to speak, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart. He subconsciously covered his heart and hunched over, making a hoarse cough.
Zuo Chongming continued: "Who would have thought that the young man ignored the gift money and casually replaced it with a bowl of jelly. He is really unworthy... I am here to apologize this time."
"Cough, cough cough..."
Wei Tao pulled the corner of the table hard with one hand, tried his best to raise his head, and stared at him with splitting eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Bang!!
Nan Yu suddenly stood up and supported Wei Tao while scolding: "Zuo Hou, you are going too far. The Prime Minister just..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Tao suddenly grabbed his hand and whispered: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have nothing... nothing to do."
"Prime Minister, you..."
Wei Tao took out the jade bottle from his arms without saying a word, poured out two pills and swallowed them.
After closing his eyes and resting for a long time, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief and said softly: "Here, please lead your Highness down to the second hall to rest for a while."
"Prime Minister..."
Naturally, Nan Yu didn't want to avoid it. He wished that Zuo Zhongming would make some more mocking remarks to give him a chance to build relationships.
Wei Tao opened his eyes, patted the back of his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Your Highness, don't worry."
"Okay, but Zuohou..."
Nan Yu sighed helplessly, then glared at Zuo Chongming angrily: "Prime Minister Wei is the pillar of my court. If you... hum, I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds."
After saying that, he became furious, furious, and left angrily.
Zuo Chongming smiled and took a sip of tea without looking at him.
After Nan Yu left, Wei Tao said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, he has left, what do you want to say?"
What he just said seemed normal, but Wei Tao understood the underlying meaning, so he asked the Seventh Prince to avoid it.
Zuo Chongming said quietly: "After I got off the flying boat, I entered the palace without stopping to meet the Holy One. Do you know what the Holy One told me?"
Wei Tao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "How do I know?"
Zuo Chongming sneered and said: "The Holy One said that it was me who designed to kill your son."
"Isn't it?"
Wei Tao stared at him, the hatred on his face undisguised.
Zuo Chongming asked him playfully: "If you really think so, why do you want the seventh prince to avoid it?"
Wei Tao said seriously: "I just want to hear how the Marquis makes excuses."
In fact, he did have doubts in his heart, because the whole thing was too weird, even weird.
Not to mention that Wei Wen's death was very strange, but when Zuo Chongming sent someone to deliver jelly afterwards, he was completely exposing himself as the murderer.
Because of this incident, Wei Tao suspected that someone was secretly causing trouble and deliberately planted the murderer on Zuo Chongming.
Of course, despite the suspicion in this regard, Zuo Chongming is still the most suspect.
So now he wants to see how Zuo Chongming will quibble, or prove himself?
"quibble?"
Zuo Chongming nodded the table disdainfully: "I will ask you a question, why did I kill Wei Wen?"
Wei Tao twitched the corners of his lips and replied coldly: "Take revenge on me."
"Revenge against you? Why?"
Zuo Chongming raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud: "Because you blocked my promotion at that time? You were not the only one who blocked me at that time."
"If I want to take revenge, none of those little guys who have been training in Jinyun State will survive."
"You know, with my methods, I won't leave any clues."
"In that case, why do I have to take a huge risk to assassinate Wei Wen who lives in the capital? And then expose myself later?"
"..."
Wei Tao couldn't help but fall into silence.
Of course he couldn't say that he had secretly sent someone to contact the Liansheng Sect and sent a batch of supplies so that the Liansheng Sect could secretly cause trouble for Zuo Chongming.
He couldn't even say that he later cooperated with the Seventh Prince to set up a trap and sent Hu Mei to Xiyun Mansion to assassinate Zuo Chongming with the Liansheng Sect.
