Perhaps because of concern for other people in the lobby, the old man and Zhai Zhongwen stopped discussing the matter after whispering a few words. They drank and chatted about the beauties and good wine that Lang Ting had just sent.

Seeing that there was nothing to listen to, Qu Zhong simply entered the courtyard through the back door.

I don't know whether to say that Zhai Zhongwen is too confident or big-hearted. The guards and patrols in this barracks are full of loopholes. He is such a strange person running around in the lobby, but no one notices, not even the officials. Even Qu Zhong was a little surprised by the arrogance of talking about such a rebellious thing in class with taboo.

The Kaikai Kingdom and Lang Ting mentioned by several people just now made him feel alert. It seems that this matter is not only related to Zhai's army, but may also involve neighboring countries.

Did Zhai Zhongwen betray Zhufeng Kingdom, or did the two parties reach an agreement, or maybe the Zhai family army was just being used? Qu Zhong couldn't figure out what happened in the western region through just a few short chats. It became a mess, and even the steps of walking became messy.

...what exactly are they trying to do?

"Owner!"

While thinking wildly, Sancai's old voice suddenly sounded in his head. The prolonged cry made people feel goosebumps. He rubbed his arms vigorously. Qu Zhong turned his head and looked around, lowering his voice Asked: "What is it?"

"The master knows what Sancai thinks in his head, and I can help the master hear what everyone on this piece of land is saying."

"What? Say it again, I don't understand." Qu Zhong was puzzled. What Sancai said meant that Sancai heard every word in his mind just now?

"That's right, even your words have been heard by me..."

There was a flash of light above his head, and a piece of icy leaf clung to Qu Zhong's neck. Sancai seemed to like clinging to him very much. As long as his real body appeared, he must be clinging to him.

"Then let me listen too."

"Then put me at the base of the wall!" Leaf gently swept Qu Zhong's neck, and Sancai pointed to the tall courtyard wall not far ahead.

Before they knew it, they had come to a martial arts arena. The place Sancai was pointing at was the only place where an osmanthus tree was planted beside the wall. Although he didn't know why they had to go there, Qu Zhong still obeyed He walked to the corner and put it on the ground.

The Sancai that had just touched the mud suddenly trembled, and the whole body went straight into the soil, leaving only three leaves barely exposed, and then a light green light lit up, directly enveloping Qu Zhong. Among them, a circular photosphere is formed.

Curiously, he reached out his hand to touch the light wall, and a voice suddenly sounded in his head. It sounded like two middle-aged men were discussing something...

In this way, a steady stream of voices flowed into Qu Zhong's ears like a stream of water. There were all kinds of voices, some of them were talking in sleep, complaining, or whispering in private. He heard a lot of useful information.

The reason why the general's guardhouse is so lively today is because Zhai Zhongwen got rid of the serious troubles in his heart for many years, and overjoyed, he threw a banquet and invited officials from the whole western region to have fun.

This reminded Qu Zhong of the group of middle-aged men he saw yesterday in front of the city gate. Now that he thinks about it, he should be dealing with this matter. As for who is dealing with it... that's unknown.

Suddenly!

Among them, a familiar voice and another strange voice began to talk in a low voice, and the content made Qu Zhong stunned for a moment, and finally knew why Zhai Zhongwen had made Zhai Jiajun so violent that no one came to discipline him.

Zhai Zhengyang...had passed away half a year ago, and the content of Zhang Wei's chat with the stranger was about when Zhai Zhongwen would give the old general a funeral, so that he could be buried as soon as possible.

It also mentioned the words Bishuiting Study Room several times, and Qu Zhong wrote down all the useful information in it. He didn't withdraw his hand until he felt that his head was aching, and wiped the cold sweat that covered his forehead. .

"Your ability is too strong, as long as there are trees, you can control it."

The Sancai next to it also drilled out of the ground at this time, and shook its body symbolically that there was no soil. When Qu Zhong said this, he swayed the leaves proudly: "That's nature, I am a sacred tree, there is a tree I can take care of any place."

"Okay, then come up quickly, I'll go to the Clear Water Pavilion."

Now is not the time to chat, after Qu Zhong accepted the words, he followed Sancai's guidance and touched the Bishui Pavilion mentioned in Zhang Wei's words.

This is a secluded courtyard surrounded by water. Except for a covered bridge leading to the middle room in the front, the rest of the direction is surrounded by green lake water. As soon as he walked along the base of the wall, Qu Zhong found two people guarding the door. The yawning soldier.

The two of them sat cross-legged in the corner lazily, looking drowsy.

Sancai carefully reminded Qu Zhong: "There are still two people inside the courtyard wall."

"understood!"

Stretching his hand into his arms and groping around, the pill that Qu Zhong brought came in handy now, he only needed to crush it lightly, a burst of white smoke suddenly floated out of the pill, just a few breaths, the front was still beeping The two muttering soldiers leaned their heads against the corner and sat in the corner.

"The two people inside fell too!" Sancai reminded again.

"Okay! Let's go in then."

Bypassing the gatekeepers who had been unconscious for a long time, Qu Zhong swaggered in through the main entrance, crossed the corridor bridge and walked to the middle room. There were also two hidden guards lying on the green bricks at the entrance. The black clothes are somewhat similar to the men I saw at the city gate that day, and they should be the hidden guards of Zhai's army.

crunch--

The room was pitch black, and the two rows of bookshelves on both sides could only be barely seen through the moonlight, and the tricolor on the shoulders shone white with a wink, finally allowing Qu Zhong to see clearly the furnishings in the room.

First he pinched the leaves of the three colors, and Qu Zhong praised with a smile: "I still know the three colors."

"That's natural, I'm much more useful than Phoenix!"

"That's natural, you are also a god for thousands of years."

While blowing rainbow farts, Qu Zhong began to walk around the room. This is a very ordinary study room. There is a huge desk in the middle, which is full of papers, pens and books. Hui, only the side of the desk close to the chair is relatively clean. It seems that Zhai Zhongwen only used that space, and there must be something important in the study, so the servant didn't clean it.

However, it is precisely because of his carefulness that Qu Zhong's groping is much less difficult. He only needs to walk around in the study to see where it is clean, and he can just look there.

really……

The place with the least dust in the study is the low cabinet behind the desk. The handle on it is clean and there is no dust at all. You can tell that someone has used this place just now. A lot of letters were found in the grid.

And these letters are all from the same pen.

...Lang Ting.

This minister of a neighboring country who has been coveting the Zhufeng Dynasty has letters and exchanges with the most important defenders of the Zhufeng Dynasty. This sounds extremely ridiculous, but the letters in Qu Zhong's hands really remind him that this is what actually happened.

Moreover, looking at the date of the letter, the two of them began to communicate as early as two years ago. Zhai Zhongwen, who was frustrated at first, vomited bitterness in the letter, accusing Zhai Zhengyang of distrusting him. Without real power yet, gradually, the content of this letter began to deteriorate. Lang Ting taught him in the letter how to please his father and gradually gain his trust.

Things also developed as Lang Ting expected. Zhai Zhengyang was very pleased to see his eldest son finally become a weapon, and gradually began to entrust him with some things in the army. Zhai Zhongwen, who came and went, was even more obedient to Lang Ting.

So later when Lang Ting mentioned Kai Kingdom's ambitions for Zhufeng, Zhai Zhongwen was only slightly dissatisfied, and then he was confused by the promised princely position. He was even more certain in his heart that his decision was the right one.

If it wasn't for Qu Zhong's stimulus to Lang Ting when he was in Hunting Valley, the plan of rebellion would have been put on the agenda long ago.

Even after such a delay, Zhai Zhongwen's small actions naturally did not escape Zhai Zhengyang's detection. Just when the two fathers and sons were confronting each other, this old general who had chosen to serve Zhufeng all his life was buried in the pond outside the study. Death has no eyesight.

"So how important it is to learn how to swim..." Sancai sighed suddenly.

Qu Zhong: "..."

Every move of Fenghe County is under Lang Ting's surveillance. The disappearance of Huazi and Fenghuang made Kai Kaiguo's temporarily buried ambition slowly start to expand again, until the news that Qu Zhong was abandoned by the patron saint spread throughout Zhufeng, Zhai Zhongwen and his plot continued to be implemented again.

But under the prosperous appearance of the Western Territory, there are already many crises.

According to the arrangement in the letter, when the weather in the western region is the hottest in June, it is the time when the Kai Guo army starts to move. According to the past practice, Qu Zhong will go to the palace to escape the summer heat between June and July. The best opportunity for the palace, but the worst plan is to seize the western border and the three surrounding counties, and directly cut off the border link between Zhufeng Kingdom and Molin Kingdom.

And the first step of their strategy was to light a big fire in the western border city to cause turmoil, and the army of the Kai Kingdom took advantage of this to enter the city directly from the city gate.

"What a great way to open the city gate!"

Throwing the letter on the table with a snap, Qu Zhong's eyes darkened, and a cold killing intent appeared in his eyes.

In their letter, they regarded the land of Zhufeng Kingdom as their own vegetable field. Qu Zhong found the bright future described in Lang Ting's letter ridiculous. Just look at the villages on the border, how could Kaikai Kingdom treat Zhufeng kindly? The common people, I am afraid that there will be a lot of slaves for nothing.

Moreover, how many innocent people would die in this way of siege, the two of them didn't worry at all in the letter, instead they were arranging the route avoiding the important ones.

"This Zhai Zhongwen is really an idiot." Sancai followed suit with contempt.

These words completely expressed what Qu Zhong thought in his heart. A person who has lived with his father in the border for decades can't even tell the truth from the lie. The prince Lang Ting promised is nothing but nonsense. How could Kai Kaichao want a person who betrayed his country and sought glory? His end would probably be exactly the same as that of the people in this city.

"Lang Ting! Let's settle this account slowly."

Qu Zhong didn't open the rest of the pile of letters, just casually glanced at the door, and for the first time, the thought of killing this person arose in his heart.
