But coming back, the forces in Zhou Xingyun's mansion are currently in such chaos that even the Sixteenth Emperor and Han Qiumiao are confused and cannot figure out the situation at all.
Why? Because there are really people from all kinds of forces in Zhou Xingyun's house, and the intelligence they sent back to undercover agents Nangong Ling and Xiao Qing was also very confusing, and they couldn't tell that Zhou Xingyun had any unusual phenomena.
For the sixteenth prince, the absence of any vision was good news, indicating that Zhou Xingyun had not betrayed him.
On the contrary, for Han Qiumiao, the lack of vision was undoubtedly bad news. Xu Zhiqian and Qin Beiyan both followed Zhou Xingyun by default. Even if Nangong Ling moved in, they would not object.
Of course, Nangong Ling's and Xiao Qing's reports were ambiguous. The former had just finished playing with a master and had no intention of writing a report. The latter was too troublesome and did not want to do more than do less, so she made a hasty report when she reported it. Anyway, she believed that Xu Zhiqian would not do it.
bad thing.
But in any case, due to the intervention of the two women, Zhou Xingyun's position in the court became very strange.
Nangong Ling is the executioner of the sixteenth son of the emperor, and Xiao Qing is the confidant of Princess Yongming. Now the two incompatible factions have gathered at Zhou Xingyun's mansion. The strange situation really makes the civil and military officials Monk Zhanger confused. What does his master want?
What's going on?
However, everyone can be sure that no matter whether the Sixteenth Prince or Princess Yongming, the reason why they did this is to compete for Zhou Xingyun and want to take him under their command.
There is another important point that cannot be forgotten. Xu Taifu's good granddaughter Xu Zhiqian also lives in Zhou Xingyun's mansion. Does this mean that whichever side Zhou Xingyun falls to, Taifu Xu will support whom?
For a time, Zhou Xingyun's political and strategic status invisibly increased, causing officials in the DPRK and China to discuss it. However, the current situation is complicated and confusing, and everyone chooses to wait and see, and wait until the situation becomes clearer before they consider their next move...
Zhou Xingyun saw Nangong Ling reading elegantly in the corner of the yard, and once again summoned the courage to chat with her, trying to find out the girl's loyalty to the sixteenth prince of the emperor.
"Sister Nangong, can I ask you something? You are not greedy for money or power. Is it because His Highness the Sixteenth Prince is kind to you that you are loyal to him?" Zhou Xingyun said with an expression of 'I guessed it'
Ask the girl.
"He is not qualified to ask me to be loyal." Nangong Ling looked at the book intently and said words in an understatement that made Zhou Xingyun speechless.
"You are not loyal to him? Then why are you doing things for him?" Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but think deeply. Nangong Ling's tone just now was full of disdain. This was obviously not something a 'confidant' should say.
"Because I like this job, a job where killing people is not illegal." Nangong Ling's eyes flashed coldly, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
The sixteenth prince of the emperor had three conditions for hiring her.
First, the strength of the target to kill must not be lower than the top level of 'Guiyuan'.
The second is to use the imperial power to pardon her evil deeds of murder. She does not want to be wanted by the government. It is not that she is afraid of the officers and soldiers, but that the officers and soldiers are not strong enough and are not even worth killing. It is better to go home and have more children, maybe there are still some inside.
There is a martial arts wizard.
Third, she arranges work at least twice a month. Her knife must be bloodthirsty, otherwise it will rust.
The sixteenth son of the emperor was twenty-five or six years old, and had just become a top expert. How could such a grasshopper, who could grab a handful, be worthy of her loyalty?
"Ahem, Sister Nangong, what kind of person can win your approval and be worthy of your loyalty?" Although Zhou Xingyun wanted to go straight to the point, he asked Nangong Ling if he could give better conditions to the girl.
Liu Zi, but doing this is too reckless and dangerous.
Moreover, according to Zhou Xingyun's life experience of "reading countless people", Nangong Ling has a bloodthirsty and extreme personality, but he is not an unprincipled slave of the third surname. He will never betray the sixteenth son of the emperor just because he offers good conditions.
Nangong Ling glanced sideways at Zhou Xingyun, as if she had seen through his intentions, and couldn't help but place the knife on his neck and said with a smile: "If one day, you can defeat me with all my strength, I will be loyal to you."
"Haha... don't be joking." Zhou Xingyun gently pushed away the seven-foot Tang Dao. Although the blade was not unsheathed, he had a psychological shadow on the knife.
"I never joke. I made the promise just now to you alone. Do you know why? Because when I first saw you yesterday, I smelled a unique inner breath exuding from you, although it was hidden.
It's very deep, but my knife is trembling... What are you hiding? As a second-rate warrior, you have triggered my desire to kill. Haha, it's so exciting. I will wait for you."
"I remembered that I still have something to do, so I won't interrupt your reading." Zhou Xingyun's heart skipped a beat. Yesterday, he thought that Nangong Ling apologized to him and took back his rude remarks at the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion that day because he saved Xiao Qing.
, the girl’s favorability towards him increases.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Ling's insight was so powerful that he actually sensed his unique way to control the air.
On the second day after moving into his new mansion, he tried his best to compete with Wei Suyuan and improved his father's own swordsmanship, so that the power of his moves was doubled, comparable to a top master's powerful blow.
Afterwards, Wei Suyao told Zhou Xingyun not to use all his strength during daily martial arts competitions, lest the depletion of internal energy harm the body. He also asked him to learn to control the output of internal energy, learn to use only one or two meridians to transmit internal energy, and master the power of moves and the degree of internal energy consumption.
Nangong Ling probably sensed something before she said this to him.
Zhou Xingyun stared at the beauty's slightly excited eyes and quickly backed away to prevent her from losing control and drawing her sword to kill him. He is not as good at fighting as Wei Suyao and Xiao Qing. If Sister Nangong comes to play with him, she will definitely kill him in one go.
Lie down on the ground and let the beauty ravage her...
"Brother Yun! Brother Yun!"
As soon as Zhou Xingyun left Nangong Ling, Qin Shou's excited shouts came from behind him. When he turned around, he and Li Xiaofan hurriedly ran into the house.
"Another addition! There are more beauties in the house! Brother Yun, how did you do it!" Li Xiaofan blinked and looked around the yard. He hadn't been home for a day, so why were there two more beautiful sisters in the house?
Zhou Xingyun has beautiful women coming to his door without even leaving home. What a miraculous ability this is.
"You guys still know how to come back?" Zhou Xingyun pointed to the sun, what time is it now? The two bastards went out yesterday morning and had sex until now, so they didn't feel drained.
"Brother Yun misunderstood, Xiaofan and I are going to do something important." Qin Shou blinked hard five times a second, hinting to Zhou Xingyun that he and Li Xiaofan did not just go out to play yesterday, but called together the brothers from Yushu Zifang in the capital to discuss something.
This is a very important national event, an important event related to the maid of the Zhou family.
"Let's talk in the room later." Zhou Xingyun quickly returned his gaze. Now Wei Suyao and other girls were practicing in the yard. If they knew that he was caring about raising the singer, they would definitely take him to the room to "talk nicely".
Therefore, this matter must be carried out secretly. Let's deal with it first and then tell it later. It's a done deal and the overall situation has been decided!
"Hey, this sister is so handsome. May I ask if she has a sweetheart? Judging from your reaction, she definitely doesn't. I am 18 this year, and people in the world call me "Li Haoshuai". It is fate that we meet today. How about the two of us?
Let’s talk about romance, let’s talk about love, see if we can get along well, kiss on the lips, have a bridal chamber, and give birth to a fat baby to benefit the people.”
While Zhou Xingyun and Qin Shou were talking, Li Xiaofan ignorantly and fearlessly walked up to Nangong Ling and teased the beauty. Staring at this scene, Zhou Xingyun and Qin Shou made a cross on their chests, and the other silently closed their hands...
"Amen."
"Amitabha."
Let’s pray together for Li Xiaofan who doesn’t know whether to live or die.
When Nangong Ling is not holding the knife, especially when reading, she really feels like a quiet senior, but...
Whoosh!
Before Li Xiaofan could react, the unsheathed seven-foot Tang Dao was already lying on his shoulder, with the blade close to the artery in his neck, making him too frightened to move.
Li Xiaofan knew that if Nangong Ling had the intention to kill him, his head would probably be flying up in the air at this moment...
Wow.
Nangong Ling sat quietly, looking at the book on her lap without moving her eyes. She maintained a knife-wielding posture with her left hand, and gently turned a page of the book with her right hand. She never glanced at Li Xiaofan from beginning to end.
Li Xiaofan didn't dare to move at all, fearing that his eldest sister would be angry and chop him with a knife.
Li Xiaofan never expected that the woman's martial arts skills were so strong. He could not see her when she drew the sword, and it was sharper than Wei Suyao. He had no choice but to look at Zhou Xingyun and Qin Shou with affection, hoping that the two brothers would save him.
Little brother...
"Have you had breakfast, Qin Shou? There are some noodles left in the kitchen, do you want some?"
"Yes! Brother Xiaofan, come quickly. Brother Yun will give it to you."
"Get out!" Zhou Xingyun kicked Qin Shou hard. This bastard had been with him for months. He didn't learn the good things, but he learned all the bad things.
"Sister, I'm not sensible. Please forgive me for my rudeness. Big brother called me to eat noodles. Look at this knife..." Li Xiaofan said awkwardly. It wasn't until Nangong Ling silently removed the blade that he survived.
, quickly ran back to Qin Shou to inquire about the woman’s identity.
Nangong Ling is a great beauty. It is impossible that there is no information about her on the beauty list. Looking at Qin Shou's gloating expression just now, Li Xiaofan knew that he knew something about the beauty and knew the details of the beauty.
"Third senior brother, I'm back."
Not long after Qin Shou and Li Xiaofan came back, Wu Jiewen also ran back to the mansion excitedly. As long as Zhou Xingyun didn't arrange anything, he would go to Yunxia Inn every morning to help.
"So early? Is business at Yunxia Inn not good?"
"No, Kang Bo received another letter from his aunt today, asking me to come back and inform you. It is said that Master and the others are approaching the capital and are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow. Also, the September Young Heroes Conference is coming soon, and Kang Bo wants me to practice hard.
No need to go to the inn to help."
"My mother is coming to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and we must make some preparations." Zhou Xingyun didn't want Yang Lin to know that he had joined the court as an official, so as to prevent his mother from thinking wildly. After all, his current undercover status is very disgraceful, and he might be a treacherous traitor.
Just when Zhou Xingyun was hesitating about whether to move back to Yunxia Inn collectively, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the house, and then a female disciple wearing the door badge of Jianshu Villa stumbled into the courtyard in panic.
