Li Yuankun whispered to Xu Wenjing: "To be honest, I am now serving under the Ning Prince's Mansion. His Highness Ning respects the wise and the nobles, and ordered him to secretly win over all kinds of talents for him to prepare for his future inheritance of the throne..."

Xu Wenjing replied in a low voice: "Senior brother serves in the Ning Prince's Mansion, so I naturally know this, but now the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou is not His Highness? How could the emperor let King Ning inherit the Grand Priest? "

Li Yuankun said: "The crown prince is too docile and indecisive, and is not suitable for inheriting the throne. In fact, the emperor had long wanted to establish a crown prince in his mind, but he didn't know which prince he liked. However, as expected below, the new crown prince candidate is likely to be revealed at the imperial banquet tonight..."

Xu Wenjing said curiously: "No, today, I heard from the court that Prince Huai was talking about it. The prince accompanied him to the palace to discuss politics, but he did not hear any news that the emperor had deposed the prince..."

Li Yuankun said: "How can the emperor's skills be speculated at will? What's more, even if the emperor does not intend to depose the crown prince, I have his own plans to let the emperor depose the crown prince after tonight!"

Xu Wenjing frowned and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, are you so confident?"

Li Yuankun said: "You and I are both descendants of famous families. Can you deceive others and deceive people from the same school? Senior, after listening to my senior brother's words, I will join me in the Ning Prince's Mansion now. Senior brother's talent has also heard of it.

I will definitely be highly valued by His Highness Ning. In the future, I will help King Ning to obtain the position of the Eastern Palace. My famous master will be officially established and worshipped by the world forever..."

Xu Wenjing smiled and bowed and said, "Senior brother is in love. My junior brother doesn't have such extraordinary skills. He just spreads rumors and exaggerates..."

"Your brother, don't be humble..." Li Yuankun said, "Your brother, I am not the kind of person who is jealous of talent. If you have a junior in a famous family, you will definitely rise up. Don't refuse. Follow him and meet His Highness Ning. I believe His Highness Ning will not disappoint you..."

Xu Wenjing shook her head and said, "Even if that's the case, how can I tell you about the military governor? After all, the military governor has the kindness of knowing me and trust me very much. If I leave like this, I wonder what he will feel..."

Li Yuankun said: "Senior brother, good birds choose trees to live in. I think the master should have taught you this principle, right? No matter how good Liu Ce's place is, he will not be truly trusted by the royal family. If he can only die, he will only be the princes.

You should think about your future. While the situation is not clear, you can add some chips to your value, so that you can gain greater benefits in the future..."

Xu Wenjing smiled and said to Li Yuankun: "Thank you for your advice from senior brother. I still plan to wait and see again. After all, the military governor treats me well, so how can I abandon him easily?"

Li Yuankun frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, my teacher should have taught you that you are not a husband without poison. You should do whatever you want for all your benefits. How can you be bound by these feelings?"

Xu Wenjing chuckled and said, "It's a pity that I'm not good at learning skills and can't achieve the level of my mentor. Let's wait and see again. It's not too late to make plans before the situation is determined."

Li Yuankun was waiting for further advice, but saw Xu Wenjing getting up and bowing to him and saying, "It's getting late. It's time to go back to the hospital and wait for the military governor. I feel very pleased to be able to recognize my senior brother today. I will definitely drink and have fun with you in the future. Let's say goodbye first..."

After saying that, Xu Wenjing took out five taels of silver from her sleeve and threw it on the tea table. After bowing deeply to Li Yuankun, she left the teahouse calmly...

After Xu Wenjing left, Li Yuankun picked up the jade carved toad, rubbed it back and forth for a while, and said to himself: "You can only be unparalleled in the world. If you cannot serve Your Highness Ning, it will definitely become a major obstacle for King Ning in the future. It is better to find an opportunity to get rid of it..."

Xu Wenjing, who left the teahouse, looked back at the teahouse with a gloomy face and said to herself: "As the saying goes, it is better to be a phoenix tail than a chicken head, let alone my Xu Wenjing wants to be the best person. The country of Dazhou is already shaky. I, Xu Wenjing, will not be stupid enough to follow you to bury with you."

Thinking of this, Xu Wenjing took out an orange pendant from her arms, but she saw that the pendant was actually...

Snake-shaped...

"Among the five poisons, the snake is quiet and cruel. You must seize the opportunity and hit the enemy with one blow, and never give the opponent a chance to fight back. And only the snake has the opportunity to turn into a dragon and take off all the other four categories!"

Xu Wenjing muttered coldly, then took back the pendant and walked towards the palace.

...

"Master, bring the person you want to..."

"Go down, thank you for your hard work..."

"As for orders..."

In a courtyard, Huangfu Zhai was taken to Shangguan Yan by three people, and then he respectfully retreated. Only Shangguan Yan, Leng Yan and Huangfu Zhai were left in the room.

Shangguan Yan turned around and said to Huangfu Zhai: "Jiuzi, if I hadn't sent someone to save you today, your identity would have been exposed. Should you thank me?"

Huangfu Zhai said lightly: "Thank you? Do you expect me to get my praise? Yes, take the pen and I will write a gorgeous article for you so that everyone in the world knows how smart you are. Don't worry, this time I'm very sincere..."

"Ha..." Shangguan Yan laughed dryly, gently stroked his hair, and said hoarsely, "Can you make you so calm at any time? After many years, your temper has not changed at all, and it still makes people feel very disgusted..."

Huangfu Zhai said: "If you commit suicide right away now, you may be smarter, at least you won't say such a stupid confession..."

"Don't be rude to my master!"

Seeing Huangfu Zhai's arrogant attitude, Leng Yan immediately pressed the hilt of the sword and glared at him.

Shangguan Yan waved his hand to stop Leng Yan and said, "Leng Yan, be calm and do not be rude to the master."

Then he turned around and said to Huangfu Zhai: "Jiuzi, how about it? Now your layout should have been shaken by my intervention? I said that as long as I intervene, it will be the biggest uneasy factor..."

Huangfu Zhai was silent for a moment, then said to Shangguan Yan in a pity tone: "If I tell you that everything you have done is also in my calculations, would you be so embarrassed and angry that you wanted to commit suicide by what you said before?"

"Um?"

Huangfu Zhai's words made Shangguan Yan stunned, and a look of surprise appeared in his empty eyes...

Huangfu Zhai said, "Since I know you appear in this city, how could you not be prepared for you? I just contacted the people from the Imperial Guards' Mansion and led them to arrest you. It was all in my plan.

Including I was made difficult by the Xiaogu Army and I met the people from the Duwei Mansion halfway, everything was in my layout calculations, just to expose all the hidden stakes you left in the capital, and to explore their strength by the way,

Now I have completely understood that your hidden stakes in the city do have a very terrible force, but as long as you turn dark into light, it will be much easier to deal with you next..."

Shangguan Yan kept silent, a trace of respectful gaze flashed in his eyes, and he spoke for a long time: "But, so what if you know this? Now you are in prison. As long as you leave you here, your plans and layout will still be destroyed by me. Many people will die tonight, and you are powerless to stop it..."

Huangfu Zhai said: "So it was a wise choice to let me give up on you. I really didn't expect when you would become so confident in front of me and think you would take everything into your hands?

The same thing is said, don’t think you can see through the truth and see the overall situation. I have said this to you many times back then, but you still can’t listen to it…”

Shangguan Yan gently stroked the drooping hair between her hair. After listening to Huangfu Zhai's words, he said calmly: "You really like this set of chattering words. I really should pull out your tongue. Maybe in this way, my ears will be quieter..."

Huangfu Zhai heard this and slowly wiped the bronze mirror and said, "Take the time to say everything you want to say. It's no longer safe here, and soon a large number of officers and soldiers will surround the house..."

Leng Yan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately rushed to the door, opened the empty door with the hilt of the sword, and looked out secretly, but saw that the outside was as calm as usual, and then shook his head with Shangguan Yan.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yan frowned, tied a knot between his hair hanging from his temples around his index finger, and said to Huangfu Zhai: "I really didn't expect that there are still people in the capital that you are willing to help you..."

Huangfu Zhai said, "Don't forget, I am a master of the Mo family. How could I dare to wander around under the eyes of the imperial city without preparation? I will quickly explain your conditions. If it's too late, you and I will be ruined in this house."

Shangguan Yan said: "In addition to the conditions of Gaomi's family, I have to find a way to take me to meet Liu Ce. I have a very great interest in this person, like Han Wangxian..."

"Liu Ce is not Han Wangxian. You think too much, they are not the same person at all..." Huangfu Zhai immediately pointed out Shangguan Yan's mistake, "I have asked someone to arrange Gaomi's wife and mother. I believe it will be as you wish, but if you want to see Liu Ce, I am afraid you will regret it. After all, Xu Wenjing has a very deep prejudice against you, aren't you afraid of being retaliated by this poisonous snake..."

"Ha..." Shangguan Yan smiled, "Hit for a snake and hit seven inches. Xu Wenjing is of extraordinary talent, but in my eyes it is not worthy of being too careful. Just arrange for Liu Ce to meet me before the night banquet begins..."

Huangfu Zhai said: "Sometimes you will pay a heavy price to look down on your enemies too much. Since you insist on meeting Liu Ce, I will arrange for you to meet you. Where are you planning to meet him?"

Shangguan Yan said: "Just on the bank of the Luo River, before the statue of Lu Shang..."

Huangfu Zhai thought for a while and said, "The more dangerous the place, the more beneficial it is. OK, I promise you, now we should leave..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dars suddenly rushed into the door and said nervously: "Master, there are many officers and soldiers coming outside, as if they are from the Duwei Mansion. They have found our traces..."

"Don't panic..." Shangguan Yan said calmly, "Let everyone leave the tunnel..."

After saying that, he asked Huangfu Zhai again: "There are people from the Mo family among the imperial guards, right?"
