We drove quickly all the way through the plains and Cangzhou, and finally arrived at the capital in a day.

The gate of the outer city of the capital is the most majestic gate in the world, with a height of four feet!

As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw many pavilions and pavilions, giving them a heavenly atmosphere! Wei Qiansui, one of the top ten masters, and the imperial guards immediately returned to their posts. Only the officials were left to guide Taifu Gao to arrange for him to wash and rest before entering the Forbidden Palace. The three brothers were still close to him.

bodyguard.

Feng Jiuxiao said goodbye to Mr. Gao temporarily. Mr. Gao left his contact address in the capital so that Feng Jiuxiao could find him at any time.

Feng Jiuxiao was going to stay first. There was a Chang'an Inn in the distance. It was quite large, with people coming and going in front of the door. It seemed that business was good, but she secretly thought that it would not be full. Fortunately, there was an upper room.

Lying in bed, Feng Jiuxiao began to plan how to meet the eldest son of Qi tomorrow. The news of Qi Er's assassination must have spread throughout the capital. As long as the eldest son of Qi did not speak out about it for a day, everyone would naturally pretend to be tacitly aware of it.

have no idea.

At this time, the eldest son of Qi has been waiting for Feng Jiuxiao. In fact, he is not waiting for Feng Jiuxiao. What he is waiting for is just the "messenger" sent by the second son of Qi.

And it turned out that this person happened to be Feng Jiuxiao.

Being able to deduce the ins and outs of an incident based on clues alone and restoring the truth of the incident is the unique skill of Mr. Qi that is unparalleled in the world!

Every once in a while, many of the world's most well-known and high-status catchers would travel thousands of miles to the Marquis' Mansion in the capital to ask him for advice on case-solving reasoning.

The eldest son of Qi is obviously a hereditary official son, and he can obviously get the glory and wealth that others can't get in his life without struggling, but he works very hard personally, and he "happens" to be outstanding! The emperor obviously rewards him.

Although he was a civilian, he did the work of a military official. Not only was he outstanding, but he also made many martial arts masters admire him! Although he is now in his forties, the honorific title "Master Qi" has become like a brand.

It is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has not changed for more than ten years. On the contrary, whether intentionally or unintentionally, everyone calls his younger brother Little Marquis! It seems that his second brother is the real Marquis! And this Little Marquis is in the world.

His reputation has become more and more famous, and now he has won the reputation of the fourth martial arts master! His reputation has already surpassed that of the eldest son. But the eldest son of Qi did not care. On the contrary, he said to everyone he met, "Second Brother

The better he lives, the happier he will be!

Because the eldest son of Qi has solved many problems for the emperor in the past six months, the emperor has just promoted him to the supervisory censor! This official level is not too high compared with the three princes, but the power is extremely heavy!

The emperor said in front of all the ministers: "Qi Aiqing has a pair of miraculous eyes. He can see clearly and make deductions. He can detect anything that is wrong to me! Those who have ideas should pay attention." What he said.

Extremely heavy!

After retreating from the court, how could the ministers dare to return home immediately as usual? They all gathered together and whispered. From the emperor's words, everyone roughly came to the following conclusion:

First, someone in the imperial court actually had thoughts that they shouldn't have! And this small group of treasonous and unscrupulous gangs had long been noticed by the wise and powerful emperor.

Second, the emperor has arranged for Mr. Qi to be responsible for supervising these people who have rebellious intentions. Once their flaws are exposed, just wish yourself good luck! Whether you will be beheaded or cut in half may not be possible, but the execution of the nine tribes is certain!

Third, the status of the eldest son of Qi is not only becoming more and more stable, but also getting higher and higher!

When the emperor walked away in anger, all the ministers were as silent as a cicada!

Many people secretly feel bitter in their hearts, fearing that they will face bloody days again!

Although the eldest son of Qi's martial arts is far inferior to that of the second son of Qi, after all, he and his younger brother have been taught by famous teachers, and his understanding of his younger brother's martial arts is much deeper than the average person. He knows that if he wants to kill the second son of Qi, he must

Meets several conditions!

First of all, you need to have a peerless magic weapon to break through the protection of Wujin Armor! Wujin Armor was forced by him to wear it all the time. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you have to be careful about others! When you meet a top master, he can still pierce your heart with a knife.

!So you must wear treasure armor!

Secondly, if you want to harm Qi Er, you need to have a unique poison, so that you can ignore the power of the antidote medicines such as Huan Shen Dan and Golden Jiao Gallbladder to kill Qi Er! As far as the eldest son of Qi knows, Qi Er is very obedient and always carries the antidote.

.

The third killer also needs to have peerless martial arts, whether it's punching or sword-fighting. Without amazing speed and strength, he can't defeat Qi Er. The second one's snow drink is not made of paper!

So it is really not an easy task to kill the second child.

But this time, the opponent's killer actually succeeded. Qi Er is still alive and dead, but his body is not found. It can be seen that the situation is not optimistic.

When the eldest son of Qi's informant reported to him that among the people who followed Taifu Gao back to the capital, there was a young man in white with a strange face, the stone in eldest son of Qi's heart seemed to have been relieved instantly! He was sure that this boy was at least half likely.

It was sent by Qi Er! If it was really sent by Qi Er, it at least means that Qi Er is still alive!

As long as Qi Er's words can be transmitted, it will be clear whether the assassination operation is aimed at Qi Er or the underground palace! Targeting the palace is targeting the emperor, and the goal is the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme!

And if the other party comes here for the secrets of the underground palace, then someone else’s spy must have been placed around him!

Not only is this the case for my own family, I'm afraid that the entire imperial city is already full of "shadow enemies".

I hope that is not the case! I hope that the truth is just my own wild guess!

Otherwise, there will be another bloody storm!

The eldest son of Qi sat quietly on a wicker chair in the courtyard, looking up at the stars.

The bright moon is like a hook.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and soon it will be the full night of the 15th lunar month. It has been many years since we were reunited with Qi Er. The eldest son of Qi looked at the night sky in a daze.

Madam's tender voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Are you thinking about your brother again?"

Mr. Qi looked back and smiled, "You're still up so late. The weather is getting colder. Be careful of catching a cold."

Mrs. Qi pressed her slender hand on Mr. Qi's shoulder and smiled sweetly, "I heard there is no news about your brother. Is he dead?" There was not only no trace of anxiety in her words, but she actually seemed a little cheerful.

The eldest son of Qi asked: "Do you still hate him?"

Mrs. Qi said calmly: "It has been so many years and it has already faded away."

The eldest son of Qi said: "I am just a younger brother, and I don't want to see any unpleasantness between you."

Mrs. Qi said: "Just one brother? Just because the wife is not the same? Fortunately, I am your only wife now, otherwise I would have been killed by you ten times!"

The eldest son of Qi joked: "Haha, how can you, how dare you!"

Mrs. Qi snorted and said, "I don't dare to say it, but who knows if I dare to do it in reality?"

"It's just a joke, why take it seriously?"

"Hmph, your brother has lived a life of licking blood with a knife in the world. It's only a matter of time before something happens!"

"Haha, okay, it's getting cold, so go to bed early. You're pregnant now, so it's not good if you catch a cold."

"Huh, that's good to know. I'm going to rest first."

The eldest son of Qi knew that it was difficult to reconcile the conflict between his younger brother and his wife, and that every family had its own scriptures that were difficult to recite. It would be the best outcome for these two people to never meet. "People have joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes.

It’s never been the same!”

These two people are simply natural enemies! Whenever Mr. Qi thinks of having another reunion dinner for his family in this life, his heart aches.

You have to find a way to meet the young man in white. However, hidden in the darkness of the capital, various forces are ready to move. They are always looking for opportunities to fish in troubled waters. I don’t know how many eyes have been secretly watching my every move. Once I make any change, I will only

I'm afraid that the Qi Mansion will be surrounded by the archers of the Imperial City Division immediately!

In the Imperial City Department, bad guys’ spies are all over the city. Who can guarantee that the people behind the scenes haven’t been infiltrated?

There is a saying in the art of war: if you know yourself but don’t know the enemy, you will win one and lose the other!

If you don’t know yourself or the enemy, you will face hundreds of dangers in every battle!

Now the enemy is in darkness and we are clear, we know ourselves but we don’t know the enemy, and we have already missed the first move!

Therefore, if you want to regain your disadvantage, you must first maintain a posture of lurking in the abyss, making the enemy mistakenly think that you are still on the defensive. In this way, the enemy's offensive will not speed up, and you will have time to breathe and prepare.

In this way, both parties can be in the same arena, at the same time, in the same place, and follow the same rules. Only then will the duel appear fair.

Otherwise, the enemy is always looking for opportunities to consume one's own strength, while oneself is helplessly watching the changes in the strength of both sides.

Who wants to sit back and wait for death?

Now that Taifu Gao has returned to the capital, the superficial tranquility of the capital will be broken sooner or later. You can use the young man in white to throw stones and ask for directions, so as to alert the snake!

The assassination of Qi Er, the attack on General Wei, and the harassment of Taifu Gao may seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact the stories behind them are worth exploring.

The secret of the underground palace is related to the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Qi Erlai is sent to guard the underground palace full-time. This is the candidate personally approved by the emperor!

General Wei, who has been guarding the border for many years, is a general trained by the emperor himself. He has risen from a low-level soldier to a general. All fools know that General Wei is the emperor's loyal minister!

And Taifu Gao has always been the leader of the think tank and military division behind the emperor!

If there is one person behind all these actions, then this person’s motives are readily apparent! Because the common intersection of all events is actually the emperor!

Targeting the emperor is actually coveting the throne. There are three main categories of ambitious and powerful suspects. One is the emperor's relatives with real power, the other is the military generals with extremely powerful military power, and the third is the civil servants with extremely powerful power.

Emperors have always had many brothers and sisters, and this dynasty is no exception. However, there are three people who are powerful on the surface, and no more than two who are secretly insignificant! In addition to the emperor's brothers, the oldest of his children and nephews is only fifteen years old.

Compared with today's emperors, their scheming is too immature, while the emperor's uncles are basically old. Even if they fight for the throne, they may not be able to sit still for three days and they will be buried in the west! Because the name is not justified, they do not follow the rules.

Once these old guys die, their descendants will not be able to keep the throne at all, and the world will be in chaos again, so they can maximize their interests by enjoying peace now!

As for the powerful ministers, of course General Lian has the most power and the most troops. However, his food and grass supply is in the hands of the fourth prince Fu Wang. His officers belong to three major groups to check and balance each other. Moreover, his wife, children and children are all in the capital. In essence, it is

Hostages, so the possibility of him rebelling is the lowest! If the strongest military force is in the hands of the emperor, the other forces will not have the strength to move easily even if they have rebellious intentions.

As for the civil servants, they ignored it at all. It is said that a scholar's rebellion cannot take place in ten years. Even if he is a genius, he still has to face innate shackles. How can a civil servant make a rebellious general surrender? How can he make a arrogant soldier as fierce as a wolf and a tiger?

Are soldiers willing to risk their lives and charge into battle?

As for the eunuchs, why did they not even have a son to rebel? Instead of going all out to rebel and seize power, it would be easier to coerce the emperor and control the princes!

So although there is no definite evidence yet, the prime suspects behind the scenes are the emperor's brothers!

Next is the general!
