Ren Tianqing's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "That gift was originally given to His Highness. Since I sent it out, how can I take it back?"
Both Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan were confused after hearing this. Both of them were veterans who had been involved in the court for many years. They already understood that they were by no means the protagonists of the banquet tonight, and their mission was to accompany him.
After drinking for three rounds, Qiqi said: "I invite you dear friends here for another purpose, which is to discuss state affairs. Everyone has seen the situation in front of us. The Tianxiang Kingdom has suddenly emerged and its power continues to grow, which has threatened Da Kang.
Safety, in your opinion, how should we respond?"
Hong Beimo and Ren Tianqing looked at each other. They rarely spoke about political matters.
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Before the flood comes, we must first build dikes. As long as the dikes are strong enough, even if the waves are turbulent, the flood can still be blocked."
Taishi Wen Chenghuan said: "Master Zhou has a high opinion that in order to fight against foreign aggression, one must first settle the internal affairs. The old minister also agrees that the internal affairs of the country must be stabilized first and the rebellion of the country must be eliminated as soon as possible. Only then can we have a stronger joint force."
Zhou Ruiyuan obviously didn't mean this, and Wen Chenghuan naturally knew it, but he just took advantage of the situation and misinterpreted Zhou Ruiyuan's words.
Zhou Ruiyuan was about to refute, but he heard Qiqi say: "Who is the treason of the country that Grand Master Wen is talking about?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "Of course he is the King of Zhenhai who supports his troops and respects himself..."
Zhou Ruiyuan interrupted Wen Chenghuan's words with a burst of laughter. The two had different political views and had long-standing grievances. There was no need to hide them on any occasion.
Wen Chenghuan slammed the wine glass in his hand, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Ruiyuan's behavior.
Qiqi smiled and said: "Everyone can speak freely, but please don't hurt the harmony. Mr. Hong, what do you think?"
Hong Beimo said humbly: "In terms of government affairs, how can a humble minister compare with these two adults? But if His Highness must insist on a humble minister, then the humble minister will bite the bullet and say it. The matter of King Zhenhai has become a fact. If
If we use troops against him, I'm afraid that Dakang's internal situation will be even more chaotic. Not only will it not help the situation, but it will plunge the country into chaos again. In fact, I don't need to say these things. Your Highness has already seen the situation clearly, otherwise he would not have sent him to Xichuan.
"
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Mr. Hong clearly sees it!" Praising Hong Beimo is tantamount to implying that Wen Chenghuan, an old fool, will only add to the chaos.
Wen Chenghuan said: "Hu Xiaotian is very ambitious. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess is very kind to him, he has betrayed the trust of the court. The ministers also heard that he was secretly operating to relieve Dayong from the epidemic.
"
Hearing Wen Chenghuan bring up the topic of the epidemic in Dayong, Tian Qing, the director of Xuantian Pavilion, couldn't help but frown. He had already realized what might happen next.
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "This matter has not been confirmed, right?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "If others don't know it, how can you, Master Zhou, not know it? Your precious daughter Qin Yutong practices medicine at Shennongshe in Yongdu and saves people. Without her, I'm afraid the epidemic would have spread in Dayong.
Today’s Dayong may be self-defeating.”
Zhou Ruiyuan said angrily: "Spraying blood!"
Wen Chenghuan turned his eyes to Ren Tianqing and said: "Mr. Ren is here. If I remember correctly, your wife is Mr. Ren's disciple, and Mr. Ren knows her movements best."
Ren Tianqing showed a displeased look on his face, and the fire finally burned on him. He had been questioned by Princess Yongyang before, and now it could be said that the old matter was brought up again. He sighed and bowed to Qiqi: "Wei Chen taught me
If it’s inappropriate, please punish me, Your Highness.”
Since Ren Tianqing made such a statement, Zhou Ruiyuan, as a father, naturally could not remain silent. He also bowed and apologized: "This matter has nothing to do with anyone else. It is completely due to the incompetence of a humble minister. Please punish me!"
Qiqi laughed: "Qin Yutong is Mr. Ren's apprentice and the daughter of Prime Minister Zhou. She and I got along very well when she was in Kangdu in the past. She has grown up, and any behavior she makes is unreasonable.
You can take responsibility for yourself, and you are not the instigator. Why should I punish you? Do something that makes your relatives happy and your enemies happy? Come on! Let’s not talk about this today, so as not to disturb the wine!" His eyes fell coldly on Wen Chenghuan.
With his face on his face, Wen Chenghuan sighed secretly in his heart. Instead of burning Zhou Ruiyuan, this fire burned himself. It seemed that it would be difficult to continue mentioning it.
Hong Beimo echoed: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is absolutely right, let's drink."
Hu Xiaotian sneaked into the Yaochi from the secret passage, swam from the bottom of the water, and arrived at the underwater faucet on time. He did not follow Qiqi's instructions. Qin Yutong came with him and lurked near the faucet in advance, preparing to look for opportunities to follow.
Hu Xiaotian entered the Longling Shengjing.
Quan De'an also arrived at the time of Xu. He was wearing a black turtleneck and was extremely athletic. He did not look old at all. After meeting with Hu Xiaotian, the two sneaked into the Long'er secret passage and arrived in front of the closed iron gate.
At the same time, take out the key, insert it into the keyhole, and start the mechanism.
After successfully entering the Dragon Spirit Realm, Quan De'an took off his hood, revealing his white-haired head. Hu Xiaotian also took off his hood, looked at Quan De'an with a smile and said, "Thank you!" He listened carefully and there was no movement around him. Qin Yu
After Tonghui opens the secret passage and enters here, he must find a way to divert Quan De'an away first.
Seeing the two large leather bags hanging on Quan De'an's waist, which must contain skulls, Hu Xiaotian said: "If Eunuch Quan can trust me, then let me handle the rest."
Quan De'an sneered and walked away without saying a word, obviously not trusting Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to follow him inside. It seemed that if necessary, he would have to knock the old eunuch unconscious. Otherwise, Qin Yutong would not be able to show up, let alone successfully obtain the stone that Ren Tianqing once held from Quan De'an.
Robbed skull.
The two walked side by side, Quan De'an whispered: "What is your purpose of coming to the princess this time?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Rebuild old friendships and reunite with broken mirrors!"
Quan De'an sighed, and suddenly grabbed Hu Xiaotian's collar and pushed him onto the stone wall. He stared at Hu Xiaotian with eager eyes and said, "You still want to deceive Qiqi? Do you want to harm her with your sweet words?"
Hu Xiaotian's smile did not change: "Eunuch Quan, are you old and confused? You have known me for so many years. When did I ever have the intention of harming Qiqi? If I want to harm you, let alone her, even if it is you, what will happen?
Can you survive to this day?"
Quan De'an let him go, turned around and continued to move forward, saying in a low voice: "How on earth did you lie to her so that she would agree to so many things from you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "She is so smart and naturally knows who is good to her and who is bad to her. Choosing to cooperate with that group of people is basically seeking the skin of a tiger! Once she loses her use value, you can imagine her fate."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived under the carved dragon dome. Hu Xiaotian untied his bracelet and inserted the seven-star chain into it, opening the secret passage hidden above his head.
It was not the first time for both of them to come here. They got in one after another. When passing by the relief, Hu Xiaotian found that the relief had been completely flattened. It seemed that Qiqi didn't want people to know about the past.
That's why it was destroyed.
Qin Yutong must have entered the secret passage. Hu Xiaotian said deliberately: "Eunuch Quan, you must have seen this relief?"
Quan De'an ignored him and continued walking forward.
Hu Xiaotian stopped and said, "How much favor do you owe Ling Jiazi to be so loyal to her?"
Quan De'an stopped because of the name he mentioned. He did not turn around, his rickety back seemed to be frozen there. Hu Xiaotian obviously knew much more than he expected.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Some things will eventually come to light. If you have seen this mural, you should know the origin of Qiqi. She is fundamentally different from us!"
Quan De'an turned around suddenly, his eyes sharp and sharp, like two sharp swords that wanted to pierce Hu Xiaotian's chest.
Hu Xiaotian's expression was calm and composed, not only because of his strong mentality, but also because of his strong strength. Although Quan De'an's martial arts is high, he should no longer be his opponent. Hu Xiaotian said: "You should know that Hong Bei
Mo and the others are using Qiqi, but you can't stop her. You want to protect her, but with your ability, you just can't do it!"
Quan De'an said in a low voice: "As long as I have breath, no one in this world can hurt her."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You may have had the same idea about Ling Jiazi back then, but it's a pity that you were powerless and couldn't prevent her death at all!"
Quan De'an was stimulated by Hu Xiaotian's words. He took a step forward and stepped on the hard rock with his right foot made of steel, making a deep footprint in the rock.
Although the power was astonishing, Hu Xiaotian was indifferent. Hu Xiaotian's eyes were calm: "Eunuch Quan, I think you are also deeply involved in the situation. Although you know some things, you can never know everything." He reached out and patted the already.
The destroyed mural sighed: "I think you should also know the secrets in the imperial mausoleum. The day Hongbeimo achieved success was the day when Qiqi was killed."
Quan De'an said coldly: "What do you know? You are talking nonsense here!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The seven-star chain we opened the secret passage was obtained by me at the Piaomiao Peak Cloud Temple. At that time, it was stored in Ling Jiazi's painting. That painting was painted by Long Xuanen himself. At first, I doubted it.
Qiqi is his biological flesh and blood, but I later learned that Long Xuanen could not give birth to such a daughter."
Quan De'an said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "How much do you know about Ling Jiazi's affairs? Do you know that people like Hong Beimo and Ren Tianqing do not care about power at all. They want to take over the whole world? How can the hair be attached to the skin without leaving any trace?
!Once Hong Beimo completes the thing inside the imperial mausoleum, everyone in this world will fall into the abyss of eternal destruction."
Quan De'an sneered: "You are simply alarmist!"
