Zhou Xingyun was sitting in a private room on the second floor of the twin halls of Juxian Building, enjoying a delicious meal. This private room was an independent conference room, where Jin Runer specially used it to entertain distinguished guests and discuss business privately.
This noon, Zhou Xingyun came to Juxian Building and asked the cafeteria maid to inform the shopkeeper that he had urgent matters to see Jin Runer.
So, Jin Run'er took him to the private room on the next floor to see what Zhou Xingyun wanted from her: "Master Zhou participated in a hunting expedition a while ago, and the harvest was rich?"
"Don't mention it, sister Run'er, you don't know. The situation was very dangerous at that time. I almost lost my life." Zhou Xingyun said with a face that scared the baby to death. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been lying in the coffin box now.
.
"How do you say this? The slaves are looking at the returning troops. It's a bumper harvest." Jinrun'er heard from the people in the capital that this year's hunting expedition was a bumper harvest, and more prey was caught than in previous years.
The contribution points system of Daqing Xuanyuan Fengxue stimulated the potential of the officials' children. Both the noble son and the eldest lady worked hard and strictly supervised the "Hunting Camp Army" to protect the hunting, and they achieved a great harvest.
"To be honest, on the second day after leaving the city, we were ambushed by two groups who attempted to kidnap the eldest lady of the Xuanyuan family. Fortunately, the two groups were hostile to each other and started fighting, otherwise we would be dead." Zhou Xingyun said on the side.
While eating the delicacies on the table, he said to Jin Runer.
Juxianlou is indeed a famous restaurant in Beijing. The dishes are quite delicious. It is not like the small inns on the street, which cut corners and use fewer ingredients. No matter how you eat it, it is bland and tasteless. You just don't want to add more oil, salt, soy and vinegar. You are really budget-conscious.
"No wonder the slave family heard that the eldest lady of the Xuanyuan family, who organized a hunting expedition, returned to the capital two days after leaving the city. It turned out that she was ambushed by martial arts masters. Lord Zhou came to the slave family today to talk about this matter?"
Jin Run'er was very curious about what important matter Zhou Xingyun came to see her for today. At this time, Zhou Xingyun kept saying irrelevant things, making Jin Run'er confused about the situation.
The hunting expedition encountered an ambush, and all the court ministers had heard about it. It was impossible for her not to know, and there was no need for Zhou Xingyun to report these trivial matters to her.
"Sister Run'er, have you ever seen this logo?" Zhou Xingyun took out a piece of paper with the logo of Baize Tiangong painted on it.
Although Zhou Xingyun speculated that Baize Tiangong was an undercover force of the Empress Dowager, the Minister of Hube was also suspected. At this moment, he wanted to speculate through Jin Runer's reaction whether Shangshu Hube had any connection with Baize Tiangong.
"I haven't seen it before... No, I seem to have some impression. Such pictures of strange animals are everywhere. The slave family may have forgotten it after seeing it. Why is Mr. Zhou so concerned about this picture?"
"The people who attacked me a few days ago all had this logo printed on their bodies. They are disciples of the evil sect Baize Tiangong." Zhou Xingyun said to Jin Run'er in a leisurely manner: "Feng Tiancheng and the Sixteenth Emperor's son conspired.
Sister Run'er should be very clear about supporting the Sixteenth Prince's rebellion. Now that Baize Tiangong and Fengtian City are fighting against each other, it can be inferred that they are from the Prince's faction."
"…………"
Zhou Xingyun's words caused Jin Run'er to think deeply. She had been lurking in the First Grade Academy for a long time, and recently she had become close to the eldest princess Han Qiumiao. She learned that His Highness the Crown Prince had the support of the Leshan Sect and was not afraid of the masters of Fengtian City.
However, she had never heard from Han Qiumiao that His Highness the Crown Prince still had ANBU forces.
"Miss Run'er might as well try this pattern on the eldest princess." Based on Jin Run'er's thoughtful expression, Zhou Xingyun judged that Baize Tiangong and the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance were not related, unless Jin Run'er was an Oscar-winning actress and her superb acting skills made her
Cheated.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Jin Run'er unceremoniously took the icon into her pocket. This was a very important clue for her. If she couldn't even figure out the power behind the prince's control, how could she turn her back on guests in the future?
"You're welcome. This icon is just a sideshow. I'm looking for Sister Run'er today. Actually, I have some crucial bad news that I must report to you immediately."
"Important bad news?" Jin Run'er frowned and looked at Zhou Xingyun in confusion.
"Miss Run'er, you suggested that we join forces a while ago, which is indeed a very good idea. But..."
"The bad news Mr. Zhou is referring to is probably because he rejected Run'er's kindness."
"Of course not. I very much agree with Sister Run'er's plan and am willing to cooperate with you. Unfortunately, we are about to face the most severe situation in history. Miss Run'er, please take a look..."
Zhou Xingyun handed the memorial, which was stamped by the Minister of War, to Jin Run'er.
Under Zhou Xingyun's instruction, Xuanyuan Chongwu successfully stole his father's official seal yesterday, forged a memorial, and asked Zhou Xingyun to use it to deceive and kidnap him. The first victim at the moment was Jin Run'er.
"Why do you have a memorial from the Minister of War!"
"That's not the point. The point is...who do you think the memorial is for?" Zhou Xingyun believed that Jin Run'er was familiar with the tactics of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor and liked to have his officials submit memorials to show their loyalty.
A few days ago, Zhou Xingyun fled back to his mansion and discussed important matters with Xu Zhiqian. Xu Zhiqian thought deeply and came up with information that made Zhou Xingyun ecstatic...
First of all, Baize Tiangong is the secret force of the Empress Dowager. This is the conclusion reached by everyone after repeated deliberation.
One extremely powerful man, two supreme masters, and more than a dozen top warriors, even the Sixteenth Son of the Emperor, may not be able to recruit so many masters in the world in a short period of time.
Secondly, Zhou Xingyun, as a confidant of the sixteenth son of the emperor, made a mistake and used the sacrificial order of the Blood Dragon Mausoleum and the Phoenix Order of Fengtian City to delay time and save Xuanyuan Fengxue.
Baize Tiangong reported to the Empress Dowager that the mission to kidnap Xuanyuan Fengxue failed, and he would definitely report the details to the Empress Dowager.
What would the Empress Dowager think in her heart? The answer is ready to come out... Fengtian City, the secret force of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor, rescued Xuanyuan Fengxue!
If Fengtian City hadn't hindered Baize Tiangong, how could Xuanyuan Fengxue have escaped?
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager would definitely question why Fengtiancheng wanted to protect the Xuanyuan family siblings instead of joining forces with Baize Tiangong to capture each one and bring them back to the house to threaten the Xuanyuan family head. You must know that at that time, Kuitong proposed a truce between the two sides and hindered them first.
The Xuanyuan siblings ran away and then fought for their ownership.
However, Fengtian City was determined to intercept them, allowing Xuanyuan Fengxue and Xuanyuan Chongwu to escape back to the capital.
The Empress Dowager would have never imagined that the Xuanyuan siblings could escape smoothly because the Saint Rao Yue of Fengtian City loved Zhou Xingyun and deliberately let him escape. Therefore, the Empress Dowager would think that Fengtian City took such good care of the Xuanyuan siblings because the Emperor
The Sixteenth Son conspired with the Minister of War!
Because the Minister of War and the Sixteenth Son of the Emperor formed a party, Fengtian City must prevent Baize Tiangong from arresting Xuanyuan Fengxue and Xuanyuan Chongwu. There is no simpler and clearer motive than this...
In other words, the Empress Dowager must have been suspicious of the Xuanyuan family and regarded it as a hidden danger.
After meeting the appeal conditions, Zhou Xingyun asked Xuanyuan Chongwu to steal his father's official seal, forge a memorial, let Jin Run'er read it, and then pass it to Han Qiumiao through Jin Run'er, and then pass it to the ears of the Empress Dowager, so that the Empress Dowager
It is even more certain that the Xuanyuan family has completely defected to the camp of the Sixteenth Emperor.
"Miss Run'er, the Minister of War has surrendered to the Emperor's sixteenth son. This matter is not trivial. If we don't try to solve it as soon as possible, His Royal Highness will have no chance of ascending the throne." Zhou Xingyun added fuel to the flames, so that Jin Run'er, Han Qiumi, the Empress Dowager and others could all take the blame.
Point to Xuanyuan Family.
"That's true..." Jin Run'er slapped the memorial on the table with one hand, Yan Ran frowned and bit her thumbnail tightly.
The Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince were fighting for power. The reason why she believed that His Highness the Crown Prince had a good chance of winning was because the Xuanyuan Family was an orthodox sect. However, once the Xuanyuan Family defected, the order that maintained the balance between the two parties would be broken.
"Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. If some people hadn't done unnecessary things, I don't think the head of the Xuanyuan family would have taken refuge in the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor." Zhou Xingyun implicitly hinted to Jin Run'er that if the Empress Dowager hadn't sent the Anbu forces,
The arrest of Xuanyuan Fengxue and Xuanyuan Chongwu left the Xuanyuan family head at a loss, and they would not embark on the path of rebellion...
"Does Young Master Zhou have any good ideas to save the situation?" Jin Run'er felt that Zhou Xingyun came to her not just to tell her that the head of the Xuanyuan family and the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor had reached an agreement.
"No. I am insignificant and have little power, so there is nothing I can do. Now I can only wait and see if the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Empress Dowager learn that the Minister of the Ministry of War has joined the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor and have corresponding countermeasures to check and balance." Zhou Xingyun shrugged.
How can a Zhonglang general, who serves as the emperor of a medicine bureau and has no real power, challenge the minister?
"The memorial... do you really plan to hand it over to the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor?"
"To be honest, I am also very hesitant. This is the Xuanyuan family master who asked me to deliver it to the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor. There is no room for error, otherwise my life will be at risk. Today I risked my life to bring it to Sister Run'er to see. Firstly, it proves that I want to
We sincerely cooperate with you, and secondly, we remind you that things are at stake."
Zhou Xingyun Hanhan explained that because he saved Xuanyuan Fengxue, the head of the Xuanyuan family came to thank him and entrusted him to pass the memorial to the Sixteenth Emperor, so as to prevent the Xuanyuan family head from meeting the Sixteenth Emperor and attracting outsiders' attention.
"Why are you hesitating, sir?" Jin Run'er seemed to hear the implication of Zhou Xingyun's words.
"I'm hesitating whether to hand over the memorial to the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor." After Zhou Xingyun paused for a moment, he said with an evil smile: "Sister Run'er, actually I can do something about this memorial, such as..."
Zhou Xingyun whispered to Jin Run'er that he did not need to give the memorial to the Sixteenth Prince, and then told the head of the Xuanyuan family that the Sixteenth Prince had accepted his memorial. However, due to the delicate situation in the court, they could not openly join forces to share the same hatred, otherwise
It will definitely cause a backlash from the prince's faction.
Therefore, they could only unite in private but remain in opposition at court. When the time came for rebellion, the Minister of War turned against each other and dealt a fatal blow to His Highness the Prince's faction from both sides.
"Brilliant plan! Mr. Zhou is indeed far-sighted!" After hearing Zhou Xingyun's words, Jin Run'er's eyebrows suddenly subsided.
As the messenger between the Sixteenth Emperor and the Xuanyuan family, Zhou Xingyun could say whatever he wanted. The head of the Xuanyuan family must not have expected that Zhou Xingyun was actually a double agent and a big traitor around the Sixteenth Emperor!
If Zhou Xingyun had arranged things properly, the head of the Xuanyuan family thought he was in alliance with the Emperor's Sixteenth Son, but in fact he was isolated and helpless, and was tried to death by the two factions.
