"Kasuo"

The sound of the giant lock being opened resounded in the silent pavilion, which was extremely touching.

Xiang Shaolong and Shanrou lay head-to-head on the huge round beams, inserting daggers into the pillars to stabilize their bodies. Unless someone climbed up to take a look, this was indeed the safest hiding place.

This beam supports eight other smaller trusses at a ninety-degree angle to it, forming a roof structure that is three feet above the ground.

Xiang Shaolong and Shanrou poked their heads out a little and looked down. They saw Tian Dan and Li Yuan each sitting on a low table, while Zhao Mu reached into the open large iron box to retrieve something.

The Liu brothers knelt down behind Tian Shandan, and one of them looked up, so frightened that the two of them quickly turned back.

Zhao Mu walked back to his short table and put the entire stack of allegiances on the table, followed by the sound of flipping through.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Master Hou is really amazing. He actually came up with such a wonderful method to make these people have to serve Master Hou."

Tian Dan also smiled and said: "Did the Marquis come up with this by himself? Or was it a clever idea from your subordinates?"

Zhao Mu smiled proudly and said, "It's just a trivial matter." He took other people's strategies as his own without any shame.

Xiang Shaolong put his mind at ease and knew that Zhao Mu did not show his allegiance to Tian Dan, otherwise this powerful man would immediately see that there was something wrong with him.

Zhao Mu was extremely wary of Li Yuan, because if Dong Kuang's "true identity" was exposed, his relationship with Chun Shenjun would also be exposed.

Li Yuan sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhao Mingxiong is actually a member of Lord Hou. I have always heard that he belongs to Li Mu Lianpo's system. Lord Hou really has a way."

Xiang Shaolong was so horrified that he almost fell off the beam. Zhao Mingxiong was his lieutenant. He and Teng Yi admired him very much, but they didn't expect him to be a spy.

Zhao Mu said proudly: "Not only is he one of mine, but he also has a kinship relationship that is thicker than water. I arranged for him to work with Li Mu. The original intention was to deal with Li Mu, but unexpectedly, Lian Po actually used it to push him away.

He is the deputy general of Lecheng, and I deliberately squeezed him out more. Zhao Ya, a bitch, is stupid enough to speak to Xiaocheng for him. It is really ridiculous."

Xiang Shaolong broke into a cold sweat and secretly cried out that he was in danger. It was like having a tiger by his side. If he was not prepared, he would be bitten to death without even knowing what was going on. At the same time, he also learned what Zhao Mu was hiding so deeply.

sharp.

I also remembered that I had talked with Xiao Cheng this morning about the issue of the commander of the imperial guards. If Cheng Xu had an accident, Zhao Mu would most likely nominate Zhao Mingxiong as his successor. The two major systems of city guards and imperial guards fell into Zhao Mu's hands.

Inside.

When Xiang Shaolong wanted Li Yuan to continue talking about the list of loyalists, Tian Dan smiled and said, "How is the situation over there with Empress Jing?"

Zhao Mu said proudly: "Who can see through the true relationship between us? Not to mention Xiaocheng, even Guo Kai and Zhao Ya have been deceived by us. Han Jing is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Once he has true feelings for a man, he will never react.

"Gu, if she hadn't been so devoted to me and kept urging Xiaocheng not to call back Li Mu and Lian Po, I might not be able to sit here and talk to them now."

Xiang Shaolong was even more stunned when he heard this, unable to believe that what he heard was the truth.

Have the two been acting all along? Or is it just Zhao Mu's wishful thinking.

Li Yuandao: "Can Empress Jing really control Dong Kuang?"

Xiang Shaolong's heart was beating fast on the beam, and even Shanrou noticed his shock.

Tian Dan said: "Dong Kuang is a straightforward and arrogant person on the surface, but he is actually very resourceful and knows how to follow people's influence. Just seeing how he solved the problem of Han Chuang colluding with Xinling Lord behind Xiao's back and becoming Jing, we know that he has made a big bet."

On Empress Jing, I look forward to the future of filial piety and death, and a prosperous career. Such a person must not be left in the world."

Li Yuan said coldly: "I want to deal with him personally."

Zhao Mu said calmly: "This person is still of great use value. At least he is ignorant of the relationship between Queen Jing and me. Hum, this person is unjust because of his profit. Since my uncle has refused to settle accounts with him, I will also

I will never pass him."

Xiang Shaolong calmed down at this time, and quickly figured out that he had exposed his fault in the matter of Han Chuang. The most disgusting thing was that Queen Jing betrayed him to Zhao Mu. From this, we know that she and Zhao Mu were indeed colluding with each other.

Whore.

Tian Dan's voice passed down and he said calmly: "You two seem to have overlooked a key person."

Zhao Mu and Li Yuan seemed to be shocked.

Tian Dan said: "That's Xiang Shaolong. Le Cheng's death must have something to do with him, but now I still don't understand why he wanted to see Le Cheng for surgery first."

After a pause, he said: "If Xiaocheng sent someone to do it, there must be clues to be found afterwards. For example, someone among his confidants will be missing due to death or injury. Now that this situation is not seen, it is obviously not his doing. This matter is really intriguing.

.”

The faces of Xiang Shaolong and Shanrou above changed at the same time.

Tian Dan added: "I once reminded Dong Kuang that if he sent someone to investigate whether there were betrayers among Le Cheng's men, he obviously did not take any action or could not find anything. But we can also intervene in this matter.

In order to avoid disturbing the situation and causing serious problems."

Li Yuandao: "The biggest beneficiary of Le Cheng's death is Dong Kuang. Could it be that he did it?"

Zhao Mu said flatly: "He has no idea that he can be a city guard. If I hadn't instructed Empress Jing to encourage Xiaocheng, when would it be his turn?"

Xiang Shaolong's mind was shocked, and only then did he understand why Empress Jing fell in love with him.

I only heard his secret message tonight because of some strange combination of circumstances, otherwise I would have died as a fool.

Tian Dan said: "Dong Kuang can pretend that he cannot afford the injury, but seeing that none of his men were injured or killed, we know that Le Cheng's death had nothing to do with him."

Zhao Mu sighed: "Lecheng's enemies are all over the world. It is really difficult to determine who did it. As long as the visitor has a way to leave the city quickly, we will not be able to find out who he is."

Tian Dan said with certainty: "It must be Xiang Shaolong who did it. I also know that he is in the city, otherwise Zhao Ya would not be angry again. Just now I met her and Dong Kuang outside the Hou Mansion. She looked so high-spirited.

Only when nourished by a man's love will it appear in a woman's body."

Li Yuan sneered: "Has she fallen in love with Dong Kuang?"

Zhao Muse changed his words: "Mr. Tian is right, Xiang Shaolong must be back. I know her character very well. She and Dong Kuang are just having fun, and Xiang Shaolong is always the only one in her heart. Maybe Xiang Shaolong is back.

The dragon is hiding in her house."

Tian Dan said with emotion: "The possibility of this matter is extremely high. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we can try to frame Zhao Ya. As long as we find the traces of Xiang Shaolong's hiding place, no matter how exquisitely clear Zhao Ya is, it will be impossible to argue with a hundred words.

Now that Guo Kai and Cheng Xu are eager to succeed in Xiao Cheng to avoid being overshadowed by Dong Kuang's light, they will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. Does the Marquis understand what I mean?"

Zhao Mu laughed and said: "Tian Xiangguo is a wise man and knows all his plans. I have a better suggestion: Let Queen Jing instruct Dong Kuang to do this. Just put some flying needles and bloody clothes."

The things were in Zhao Ya's room, and when they were found, Zhao Ya couldn't get away with it; this could test Dong Kuang's loyalty to Queen Jing. Hum, Zhao Ya, this bitch, I wanted to deal with her a long time ago."

The two people on Liang looked at each other in shock and broke out in cold sweat.

What the following three villains have come up with are all poisonous schemes. Even if they know clearly, it is still difficult to find a way to resolve them.

Tian Dan stood up and said: "We shouldn't stay here for too long, otherwise it won't be like an ordinary dinner. The Marquis will ascend the throne in the future, but don't forget Tian and Uncle Guo."

Zhao Mu hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

After the sound of the iron box being closed and locked, the three people left the building.

After the guards came in, closed the windows and blew out the lights, Shanrou leaned into his ear and said, "What should we do?"

Xiang Shaolong regained his absolute calmness and said softly: It doesn't matter whether you are loyal or not, as long as we can leave safely, we will win this battle."

Xiang Shao woke up and felt refreshed.

The fatigue and weariness from last night were gone, and he had a lot less to worry about. Because he finally clearly understood the relationship between the situation in front of him and Queen Zhao Mujing and others.

Tian Zhen had just entered the dormitory at this time. Seeing that he was awake, she happily came up to him and said, "Master Dong asked my maid to serve you."

Xiang Shaolong got up happily, changed clothes and freshened up, then went to the hall to have breakfast with Teng Yi, Zhao Zhi and Shanrou who were waiting for him.

Last night, Teng Yi and the fake Dong Kuang pretended to be Wu Guo deliberately stayed at the command post until midnight before returning, and now he met Xiang Shaolong for the first time since he sneaked into the Hou Mansion.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Rourou will tell you the whole story."

Teng Yi nodded and said: "It's clear, when it comes to conspiracies and intrigues, we are never the match for Zhao Mutian and others. If you hadn't heard what they said, no one would be able to return to Xianyang alive this time."

Zhao Zhi said worriedly: "If they want to force you to frame Mrs. Ya, what should you do?"

Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that this was equivalent to the spy eavesdropping information of the twentieth century, which was the most effective. He smiled and said: "This matter can be seen as a trick. The most favorable factor for me at the moment is that they have not yet suspected my Dong Kuang's identity.

They mistook me for seeing the wind coming. What’s even better is that Zhao Mu didn’t dare to reveal the secret relationship between me and him. With these advantages, we can deal with these traitors to the end.”

Teng Yi sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhao Mingxiong is actually Zhao Mu's man. It's in vain that I think so highly of him."

Xiang Shaolong pondered for a moment and said: "I still don't believe that Empress Jing will be completely devoted to Zhao Mu. This woman is good at using tricks." She may just be using Zhao Mu to achieve her goals. If I can find out her true attitude, everything will be easier to handle.

too much."

Shanrou frowned and said: "You have said so many words and you look confident. How can you deal with him? Maybe Queen Jing will call you later to force you to deal with Zhao Yali."

Xiang Shaolong shrugged his shoulders coolly, hurriedly ate the steamed buns in his hand, patted Teng Yi on the shoulder, stood up and said, "Let's go see Ya'er, you two obediently wait for me to come back."

Amid Shanrou's scolding and Zhao Zhi's instructions, the two left the house.

While riding side by side along the long street, Teng Yi said: "Should we rearrange the city defense arrangements?"

Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said: "Don't do this, otherwise Zhao Mingxiong and Zhao Mu will be alarmed. Second brother will send someone to bring Xiaojun back later to see what results he has in spying on the Qi army."

While the two were chatting, the Madam's Mansion was in sight, Xiang Shaolong went to find Zhao Ya, and Teng Yi returned to the command post.

At noon, Zhao Mu sent someone to meet him again. Xiang Shaolong knew that the traitor had planned a strategy with Tian Dan Li Yuan last night, so he came to see him.

In the secret room of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Mu still looked like he was a confidant, and said: "Li Yuan fell into the trap. He actually thought that I, Zhao Mu, would cooperate with him. I will definitely teach him to leave Handan without his life."

At this time, Xiang Shaolong no longer believed anything this gentleman said, but on the surface he had to look overjoyed to inquire.

Zhao Mu showed a sinister smile and said: "Let's talk about this later. How is your relationship with Queen Jing and Zhao Ya? I heard Tian Dan said that he met you and Zhao Ya together on the street last night."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Zhao Yan is a born prostitute. As long as I can please her on the bed, I'm afraid she won't be completely devoted to me. My relationship with Empress Jing is getting better and better. I haven't had the chance to report to the Marquis yet, so

The warriors criticizing Lord Xinling were actually seduced by Han Chuang. I killed all of them. Not only did I win Xiaocheng's trust, but I also sold my favor to Empress Jing, killing two birds with one stone.

It's very handy. Now I'm urging Xiaocheng to hand over the other half of the military talisman to me. Then I can fully mobilize the troops and horses in the city. Is the Marquis still worried about the big thing?"

Zhao Mu looked shocked, obviously he didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to tell him this.

Xiang Shaolong smiled secretly in his heart.
