wife and king

Le Qi stared deeply, and he couldn't tell who the man was just from his figure. He sank his face, and then decided to follow up to see what this man was trying to do.The man walked along the path where no one was walking, and after a few steps, he would reflexively look left and right, making sure that no one was following him, and continued to tighten his cloak, heading towards the depths of no one.

Le Qi followed carefully, and after a while, followed the man to an empty corner that smelled of decay.

The man walked to the corner, stopped, and after looking around for a week, he lowered his body and groped on the ground for a while. After a while, he heard a clear and crisp sound of the activation of the Kala mechanism, and a big crack opened in the ground. Projection, there are actually steps leading to the bottom under the seam.

The man raised his head and looked around again, at the right angle, the moonlight fell on his face again, reflecting his appearance into Le's eyes, this sneaky person turned out to be the manager!

Le Qi was taken aback, the manager didn't rest at night, and actually did some sneaky things here, which made people suspicious, and what was the tunnel, and where did it lead?

Full of doubts, after the head of the general manager was submerged in the tunnel, they all mentioned the top of his head.Le Qi stared intently, hesitating whether to follow, but in the end he didn't dare to take the risk, so he stopped his heart and kept watching outside.After about a cup of tea, the manager came up, Le Qi saw that the manager was fine, and he didn't carry any extra items on his body, so he put some snacks, and after the manager left, he also left.

In the early morning of the next day, Le Qi got up early, hurried to stop Yan Cangling before he went out to do some errands.Yan Cangling was very surprised by his appearance, and quickly welcomed him into the Chaolin Pavilion—because of Yan Cangling's nostalgia, their wing room was also changed into the Chaolin Pavilion.

After listening to what Le Qi said about last night, Yan Cangling frowned fiercely, his eyes were obscure, and he couldn't read the slightest bit of happiness and anger: "Such sneaky behavior in the middle of the night, there must be no good things. And it happened to be the night when Jing Han reorganized the palace. , If you say there is no problem, I don’t believe it.”

"Do you want me to go to the tunnel to investigate?" Le Qi asked.

"Don't be in a hurry," Ji Linchuan lowered his voice and stopped him in a low voice, "The current situation is unknown, and it's not good to act impulsively. I think we can start with the origin of this manager, and roughly know who this person has frequent contacts with on weekdays. It’s good for us to guess who the person who met him in the tunnel is, so that we can deal with it in the future.”

"What Jing Han said is reasonable," Yan Cangling echoed, "Although I don't know if he entered the tunnel to meet people or do something, it's better to be careful. Let's observe for a while, and don't be in a hurry," he patted Le Qi's shoulder said, "Excuse me, go out and contact Zhong Liang and Bo Jin, ask them to help with the investigation, and ask Cheng Yuxiang to come to Nanxiang."

"En." Le Qi agreed, and after asking that he had nothing to do, he withdrew.

During the few days of waiting for the news, Yan Cangling concentrated on handling official affairs and building a good relationship with the bureaucrats in the mansion.After a few days of contact and observation, the other party found that these bureaucrats were all temporarily recruited into the government, not to mention their low ability and incompetence, and they were unreliable in their work, especially the general manager.I don't know that the manager has some opinions on Ji Linchuan's deterrent to everyone that day. He made mistakes repeatedly, and sometimes Yan Cangling, who was so busy that he couldn't turn his head, cleaned up the mess for him. Take it into your hands, and do it yourself.And the result of such commitment is that Yan Cangling is getting more and more busy, but he doesn't know that due to the influence of the general manager, the rest of the bureaucrats are getting more and more chaotic, so that Yan Cangling has been taken over, and Ji Linchuan has to be bothered when he has to.

But Ji Linchuan was not in good health, and after coming here, he was not acclimatized, and he caught the wind and cold, so there was not much time to help him.Later, Yan Cangling couldn't bear Ji Linchuan's hard work, so he took over all the work and handled it himself. Ji Linchuan saw it and felt pain on his heart. After repeatedly asking for help but being rejected, he decided to focus on internal affairs, and Yan Cangling took care of major matters. , trivial matters are left to others, and it is necessary to ensure that everything inside and outside the palace is in order.Sometimes, he even had to personally settle the accounts inside and outside the palace.

After many days, the couple couldn't hold it anymore, the invisible pressure was on their bodies, and they couldn't breathe.On the contrary, the manager became more and more leisurely. He put on a show all day long and scolded his servants, so he had nothing to do.

The result of having nothing to do is that he frequently travels to and from the tunnel, from going down once every other day to going down every day now.Le Qi saw it in his eyes, and was anxious in his heart. His curiosity was all over the top, and he always wanted to go down to find out.But before finding out the origin of the general manager, he didn't dare to act rashly.

About ten days later, Yan Cangling finally couldn't hold it anymore, and decided to find ways to dismiss these ineffective bureaucrats in the mansion, another incident blew up in his ears, allowing him to rest for a while, then raised it to his chest, and suddenly collapsed. chair.

"You said, this chief officer was originally the military adviser of Wu Qikang's dental soldiers? After Wu Qikang's accident, he hid his name and lived in seclusion. After I came to Nanxiang, did I disguise myself and sneak into the mansion?" Yan Cangling's voice was low. Weak enough to go deep into the valley, even Ah Wu could sense his exhaustion, jumped into his arms distressedly, scratched his chest and comforted him with his own words.

"Well," Le Qi replied in a low voice, "Brother Zhongliang and Brother Zhongliang secretly investigated for many days, and they also asked Qingbo and Cheng Yuxiang to help each other to find out."

"These people have a lot of ambitions. There are tooth soldiers who can't be hidden, managers with special identities, and bureaucrats who deliberately don't do anything at this time..." Ji Linchuan whispered, with a look of sadness on his brows, "On the one hand, they deliberately don't do anything. One side of doing things is to infiltrate the palace. This is to usurp power and seize the throne. If you think about it in depth, I am afraid that the emperor has the same idea. Let us fight those people-whether we win or lose, let us The throne cannot be spared in the short term."

"Oh, what a trick." Yan Cangling sneered, "But how could I lose to them? If you want to fight, I will accompany you! If you want to fight, then fight to the fullest!" As soon as he let out a heroic spirit, he rushed to the bullfight, and sank Suppressing his anger with a heavy face, he asked, "Has the imperial court sent a new king to take over Fangcheng?"

"No, if there is, Brother Zhong Liang will report the news first." Le Qi replied.

"Although I don't know why we haven't sent a new king so far, it still gave us a chance to breathe." Yan Cangling raised the corner of his mouth and proudly provoked, "In this case, we can't delay any longer, let Chang Desheng secretly lead a thousand elite soldiers, divide Make a few batches of disguises and go into the city and disperse them. I will contact him at that time. As for the poison I asked Wang Bin to find last time, I am afraid that it will not be needed for the time being. You can go find the imperial minister and ask him if there is something that did not happen on the spot. poison."

Le Qi nodded and replied: "Cheng Yuxiang is now rushing to Nanxiang, and I heard that he can arrive at noon today."

"Very good, don't delay, start preparing today!"

"it is good."

At noon, Cheng Yuxiang brought the poison Yan Cangling needed, and Yan Cangling fed it to a mouse. After he was convinced of the efficacy of the medicine, he laughed loudly, patted Cheng Yuxiang on the shoulder to express his thanks, and asked Cheng Yuxiang to drink it. Xiangyi Rongcheng entered the mansion as a guard, and after seeing the general manager's appearance, he asked him to make a human skin mask that was exactly the same as the general manager's face.

Cheng Yuxiang was very efficient, and before the sun set, he made the human skin mask and handed it to Yan Cangling.

Yan Cangling thought over and over again, and decided to give the human skin mask to Xu Songming, who was doing things calmly, and let him enter the mansion to observe the habits of the general manager for a few days. When the time is ripe, let him prepare for the following matters.

A few days of preparation allowed Xu Songming to deeply remember the behavior and habits of the chief executive, and with the guidance of Cheng Yuxiang, he was even more handy with Yi Rongcheng.When the time is right, they start their plan.

Because they didn't know the relationship between the general manager and the authentic people, so this operation was very risky. Cheng Yuxiang originally said that he would go by himself, but because of his temper, it was difficult to make a big deal. After consideration, Yan Cangling Let Xu Songming go.

Although Xu Songming was calm, he was in a cold sweat this time. On the night of the planning, he was sweating non-stop, and Tong Ji Linchuan couldn't stop comforting him.

Yan Cangling felt deeply guilty, and if he couldn't make it with him, he shouldn't force it, but he nodded and smiled, saying that he could make it, and the prince didn't have to worry.

But it was a risk anyway, Yan Cangling wasn't worried, and Le Qi let them do it later, dispelling their hesitation.

So, after getting ready, Yan Cangling, on the grounds of discussing business matters, called the manager to the study when the manager usually went down the tunnel, and Xu Songming, who was disguised as the manager, entered the tunnel under the cover of Le Qi.

The deep path was dark, occasionally lit by a faint open flame, and Xu Songming's heart was raised in his throat, for fear that his breathing would be inconsistent with the frequency of the chief supervisor, and someone would find out—he was so worried.

Walking alone on a dark path, it is a lie to say that you are not afraid.He doesn't know martial arts, and what he is about to face is likely to be a soldier with excellent martial arts skills, so he is not surprised.

Taking a few deep breaths, he stabilized his steps, restrained his nervousness, and walked steadily and powerfully toward the depths step by step.

The bright light in front of his eyes was getting worse and worse, and gradually the light rushed into his eyes. He was not used to it for a moment, so he subconsciously raised his sleeve to cover his face and block the bright light.

I didn't expect this action to be exchanged for a doubt from the people waiting in the depths.

"Huh? When did you get this habit of raising your sleeves to cover your face? When did you become so sissy? Bah!"

For a moment, his breathing stopped suddenly, and Xu Songming yelled in his heart: Oops!
