Chapter 413
Yaocheng.

March is almost over, and it is the late spring season of Qian Kingdom, and the spring of Yaocheng, the imperial capital of Liang Kingdom, has just begun.

It was just after noon when Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing entered the city.They rushed here day and night, and when they arrived at the place, the two of them disguised themselves and went straight to the biggest restaurant in Yaocheng, where they ordered a large table of food and wine.

After drinking half a pot of strong wine, Qiu Cong sighed comfortably, feeling his tired body relax a lot.

Qiu Jing only drank a small cup and didn't drink much.He has a moderate capacity for alcohol and is afraid of getting drunk.

The window is open, the wind blowing in is very cool, the streets below are noisy with people coming and going, and it is not affected by the distant war at all, let alone any tension in the most prosperous capital of Liangguo, which is similar to that near the border. The people in those cities who were frightened by the war seemed to be living in a different world.

Qiu Cong saw a fat man wearing gold and silver with his arms around a well-dressed girl with red eyes appearing in sight. He looked like an aristocrat from the Liang Kingdom, and his expression was disgusted.

Qiu Jing also saw it, and said calmly, "That's the former queen's natal nephew, a lustful and hungry ghost." He basically knew the members of the Liang Kingdom's royal family.

Seeing Qiu Cong raised his hand, Qiu Jing frowned, but didn't say anything to stop him. After a while, the fat man suddenly hit the ground like a mountain of meat, causing a cloud of dust.The nearby pedestrians backed away one after another, and the girl under his control screamed and shrank to the corner.A group of entourages rushed forward and shouted "Young Master", lifted him up with difficulty, and headed for the medical center across the street.

An old man with patched clothes walked through the crowd, grabbed the girl and ran away.Qiu Jing didn't hear the voice, but judging from the shape of her lips, the girl was the granddaughter of the old man.

Some people in the restaurant were talking about it, and they all thought that the fat man had been hollowed out by wine and suddenly fell ill today. No one saw Qiu Cong's hidden weapon, and it was difficult to see it in the medical clinic.

"Grandpa, you might startle the snake." Qiu Jing looked calm and poured another glass of wine for Qiu Cong.

Qiu Cong picked it up and drank it down, humming softly, "That's even better! Let's see where Situ Xie can hide his useless children and grandchildren!"

Since Qiu Jing didn't stop him, he knew it was no big deal.The only thing to worry about is whether the girl will be angered afterwards, but it is not a big problem.Because their grandparents planned to do it tonight, so as not to have long nights and dreams.As an emperor, and in this tense period, it was impossible for Situ Xie to hide.

After eating and drinking, the grandpa and grandson paid the bill and left the restaurant. After strolling in the street for a while, they turned into a dead end and disappeared.

……

Peng House.

Peng Fan was holding a military book in his hand, and he didn't turn over a page for a long time. He just closed the book and was about to visit his mother when he saw a black shadow flashing in front of him, and there were two strangers in the room.

Peng Fan's face was startled, he turned around and took down the long sword hanging on the wall, his eyes were wary, "Who are you?"

"What are you panicking about, kid? This old man is Xiaoliang's master!" Qiu Cong introduced himself like this.This identity is what he is most proud of, and it is also the biggest turning point in his twilight years.

Peng Fan was stunned for a moment, "Su Liang? Senior is Su Liang's master?" Then his expression relaxed, and he put down the raised sword.

Qiu Jing looked indifferent, "Aren't you afraid that we are liars?"

"General Qiu?" Peng Fan knew Qiu Jing's identity as soon as he heard Qiu Jing's voice.They had met before.

Seeing Qiu Jing nodding his head, Peng Fan quickly asked, "How are my grandfather and father?" He just received the news that Yi Chong exchanged Peng Wei for Yi Fu.Although Peng Fan knew that Peng Wei would not suffer any harm when he entered Xuanbei City, he still couldn't feel at ease, and was even more worried that Peng Qian who stayed in Nanping City might be persecuted by the Yi family and his son.

"It's all right." Qiu Cong said and sat down, "Is there nothing wrong with your family?"

Peng Fan nodded, "Everything is fine at home."

Then Qiu Jing said, "We are here to assassinate Situ Xie."

Peng Fan froze for a moment, then nodded, "Oh." Very calm.He was still young, so he would only be more dissatisfied with the royal family of the Liang Kingdom than Peng Wei and Peng Qian, and he had already mentioned that it would be better for the Peng family to move to the Qian Kingdom with the whole family.But it's not that Peng Wei is not happy, but that there are so many people in the family, the old and the young, and even the servants have to be considered. It is almost impossible to leave under the nose of the royal family and reach Qianguo safely.

"Is there anything I can do?" Peng Fan asked.

Qiu Jing asked, "Aren't you afraid that if our action fails, it will implicate the Peng family?"

Peng Fan smiled, "This senior is Su Liang's master, how could he fail? I believe in the strength of the two of you."

Qiu Cong stared at Peng Fan, "You kid, you also like my apprentice?"

Peng Fan nodded, "Appreciate, worship."

"You're a good boy! Find us a place to sleep!" Qiu Cong said.The first thing to come to Peng's house is to report to Peng Wei that he is safe, and the second is to find a place to rest and recharge his batteries.

Peng Fan quickly cleaned up and let Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing sleep in his bedroom and study respectively.

……

In the palace, Situ Xie, who had received bad news one after another, calmed down after scolding Situ Jing, but no matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn't find a way out under the current situation.

At this time, it is feasible to use the method of taking hostages and threatening Qianguo again, but first, it will take time to catch them immediately, and secondly, Qianguo has many masters, so they will definitely retaliate in the same way.Unless, Situ Xie can teleport to the Su Mansion in the capital of Liangguo to take away Gu Ling's precious daughter, but this is impossible...

In the past, the wars between Liang State and Qian State always restored peace quickly after the end, as if nothing had happened, because Qian State was afraid of Yan State in the south, and never dared to let go of Liang State, even if it was Liang State every time. Invasion, Gan Guo also chooses to calm down every time.

But, this time is different.

In the past few decades, the Yan Kingdom, which has stayed out of the matter and remained neutral, has chosen to form an alliance with the Qian Kingdom, making the Qian Kingdom no longer have a strategic Achilles' heel.

And just because Situ Xie guessed that Ji Yuebai's choice had something to do with Gu Ling and Su Liang, he had to think that Yan Guo was sincerely cooperating with Qian Guo without any conspiracy. Ji Yuebai was not a "normal emperor" at all. ".

People in the royal family of Liang Kingdom, no matter what they said or didn't say a word, they all looked at Situ Xie with the same question: what should we do next?
Situ Xie didn't know the answer.And the reality he couldn't avoid was that it was his grandson, and one of his own grandsons, who really defeated him and ruined the future of Liangguo.

This made him sad, but also ironic that Situ's future was about to be ruined by Situ's blood... Everything he pursued in this life was like a joke.

Situ Xie sat quietly in the imperial study room alone, he didn't deal with the memorials piled up on the dragon case for several days, and he didn't want to open any of them.He heard someone talking outside the door, it seemed to be Situ Jing, he slowly came back to his senses, closed his eyes and opened them again, and saw Situ Jing coming in.

"Grandfather, drink some hot soup." Situ Jing put a cup of steaming soup in front of Situ Xie, "Take care of your health is the most important thing."

"What happened outside?" Situ Xie opened the lid. It was his favorite soup. Situ Ning always made it for him before he got married. Later, Situ Yao also made it very well.

Situ Jing shook her head, "It's nothing, my grandson has already taken care of some insignificant matters."

It was the fat man who was brought down by Qiu Cong in the street and was carried home. He has been in a coma. The doctor couldn't find the cause. His father came to the gate of the palace to ask Situ Xie for the best doctor in the palace. He said that his son was killed by a mysterious person. plotted.

The guards didn't dare to embarrass the former uncle, so they came to report to Situ Xie, but they were stopped by Situ Jing.

Situ Jing didn't believe in the conspiracy of the mysterious person at all, because he didn't think that dead fat trash had any value. Even if he was plotted against, he was revenged for bullying men and women for many years in Yaocheng, and he deserved it when he died.

So, Situ Jing angrily reprimanded the guards and told Uncle Qian Guo to leave, and felt that there was no need to tell Situ Xie about such a mess.

After Situ Xie drank half a cup of soup, she put down her spoon and looked at Situ Jing, "Is there any news about Yao'er recently?"

Situ Jing froze for a moment, then shook his head, "No. Duanmu Chen is very strict, and there has been no news from my sister for a long time. But she should be fine, pregnant and raising a baby in the palace of Qian Kingdom." Actually, Situ Jing hadn't seen her for a long time. I have thought of Situ Yao as my sister, and I don't care about her situation anymore.

"Back then, I really shouldn't have married Yao'er." Situ Xie showed regret, "It's even more wrong to marry Ning'er to Qianguo, otherwise there wouldn't be Gu Ling's wickedness! He was born to overcome our Situ Shi's!"

In this regard, Situ Jing deeply agrees.What he didn't dare to say was that Situ Xie was "indispensible" for Gu Ling's ability to recover her status in Qian Kingdom and Qiu Jing's ability to grow to where she is today.I still remember that Situ Xie said more than once, "Gu Ling is useful" and "Qiu Jing is useful". Situ Jing had to admit that Situ Xie's vision of seeing people was indeed "excellent", and those two were really powerful. It was so powerful that it exceeded their expectations, and it was also completely beyond Situ Xie's control...

"Grandfather, do we still have any hope of seeking peace with the Qian Kingdom? Since the Qian Kingdom has not counterattacked until now, could it be that their alliance with the Yan Kingdom is not secure, and everything will go back to the way it was before?" Situ Jing was cautious. asked.

This time Situ Xie was very calm, shook his head and said, "It's impossible. You all should be more careful next time."

Situ Jing frowned, "Be careful...what does the imperial grandfather mean?"

"Qian Kingdom doesn't want to fight, otherwise we should have received the news that Nanping City has been captured by now." Situ Xie sighed deeply, "Next, someone will come to assassinate me, and I know who it will be."

"Situ Jing?" Situ Jing blurted out.

Situ Xie added, "With his grandfather."

What else did Situ Jing want to say, but Situ Xie waved his hand with a tired look on his face, "I know what happened so far. You go back." Among other things, Situ Xie knew that Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing would come to kill him. Be mentally prepared to feel that it is almost time.

After Situ Jing left, he became more and more uneasy. He felt as if someone was watching him while walking on the road. After returning to his residence, he ordered the guards to guard him closely and never came out again.

It was night, Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing secretly sneaked into Liangguo Palace, and approached the illuminated imperial study.

Qiu Jing felt that there might be a trap, and with Situ Xie's mentality, he probably already guessed that someone would come to assassinate him, and even guessed that they would come.Because Gu Ling, who is the most powerful in Qianguo, guards his wife, daughter and Duanmu Chen, among others, only the grandparents of the Qiu family are the most suitable assassins in public and private.

Qiu Cong wanted to kill Situ Xie a long time ago, but now he finally got the chance, and didn't want to bother so much, so he lit the torch and threw it on the window of the imperial study.

The night wind was blowing, and the fire quickly became bigger. The guards began to put out the fire in a hurry, and Situ Xie came out from inside.

Looking at Situ Xie, Qiu Jing always felt that something was wrong.And Qiu Cong had already taken out the nail gun that Lao Mu had given him, squinted one eye, and aimed at Situ Xie's brow.He came to avenge the killing, and he was not interested in saying another word to Situ Xie.

The extremely fast nail was illuminated by the fire, and it sank into Situ Xie's head from between his eyebrows. No blood flowed out. His body was stiff, and he fell to the ground amidst the exclamation, motionless.

"emperor!"

"There are assassins! Help!"

"Please call the imperial physician!"

……

There was chaos inside and outside the imperial study room, but those people didn't even see the shadows of Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing.

After succeeding, Qiu Cong frowned and muttered, "It's so simple..."

Qiu Jing stared at Situ Xie's body surrounded by people, and felt that it was unreal that things went smoothly. It is impossible for Situ Xie to be so unguarded, and there must be something wrong with him without expert protection.

It might be a stand-in... Qiu Jing had this thought in his mind, but he didn't say much, and left the Liangguo Palace with Qiu Cong first.

Qiu Cong wanted to go back to Peng's house, but was stopped by Qiu Jing, "Grandpa, let's go to the original Yuewang Mansion."

"Alright." Qiu Cong thought about going to see the place where his daughter grew up.

After Situ Xie became the emperor, there were not many people left in the Yue Palace, but everything in the palace remained the same.

Qiu Jing went straight to Situ Xie's study in the palace.He has been here before, and Situ Xie handles important matters here, and there is a secret room in the study.

At this time, the study room was not guarded, Qiu Jing asked Qiu Cong to watch outside, and he pushed open the door and went in.

It was pitch black inside, only the moonlight filtering in from outside.Qiu Jing took out a night pearl, scanned around to make sure no one was there, and then walked towards the bookshelf.

After searching for a while, he found the mechanism of the secret room, Qiu Jing twisted it, and the bookshelf moved slowly, revealing the dark entrance of the secret room.

After waiting quietly for a while, Qiu Jing was about to step in with one foot, but retracted it with a frown.If there is no one inside, there is no need to go in and look.If there is anyone, it must be a trap.

The luminous pearl in Qiu Jing's hand flickered. He was about to go out when a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. Four black shadows sprang out from the secret room, attacking fiercely with murderous intent!

When Qiu Cong realized something was wrong, he saw that Qiu Jing had been forced into the secret room, and the door of the secret room, which was opened very slowly, closed quickly, blocking his sight!
"Jing'er!" Qiu Cong rushed in, slapped the bookshelf with his palm, the bookshelf trembled slightly, but did not fall down.

When Qiu Cong finally found the organ and opened the secret room, there was no one there.Obviously, there is a secret way in the secret room, although Qiu Jing was very careful, he still fell into the trap.

Qiu Cong couldn't find the entrance of the secret path, and was afraid that there were traps waiting for him, so he turned and left in a rage, and rushed to the palace again.

……

Qiu Jing fell into the secret passage with the soles of his feet empty in a waking state. At this moment, he was somewhere underground in Yaocheng, with four swords resting on his neck, and the silver-haired old man with cold eyes not far in front of him However, it was Situ Xie who "died" in the palace not long ago!The last time we met was last year, and Situ Xie looked older than ten years.

That really is a stand-in... Qiu Jing thought to himself.He guessed what Situ Xie would do, similarly, Situ Xie also figured out what he would do, and prepared a trap waiting for him.

But Qiu Jing was very calm at the moment, looked at Situ Xie and said calmly, "You can't find substitutes for so many of your children and grandchildren or hide them. If you don't let me go before dawn, my grandfather may be hacked to death." Some grandson of yours."

Situ Xie sneered when he heard the words, "Am I still in control of things so much? Grandson? Grandson? Either you are trash or you are against me. You don't even want to call me grandfather!"

The corners of Qiu Jing's lips curled slightly, and the smile didn't reach his eyes, "This is all your blessing."

"You think I won't kill you?" Situ Xie asked coldly.

Qiu Jing shook his head, "Of course not. You took me as a hostage after all your efforts, and you still hope to use me to turn things around. But, now, you don't have any chance."

Situ Xie narrowed his eyes, walked over with big strides, raised his hand high, and slapped Qiu Jing several times, until the corner of his mouth was bleeding before he stopped.The anger of being "betrayed" by Gu Ling and Qiu Jing for a long time was finally relieved a little at this moment, but looking at Qiu Jing's calm eyes, Situ Xie's anger that had just subsided burned again.

Situ Xie approached again, strangled Qiu Jing's neck, his eyes were cold and stern, "When you were just born, I should have thrown you to death!"

The four masters who were holding Qiu Jing all backed away. Qiu Jing suddenly sneered, and at the same time moved his fingers slightly. When Situ Xie realized that something was wrong, he felt something small penetrated his body...

Situ Xie's body quickly became paralyzed, and when he fell to the ground, Qiu Jing's cold voice rang in his ears, "I didn't expect you to set a trap and wait for me yourself, because I thought that since you arranged for a substitute, I will run farther, hide deeper, and wait for the opportunity. You should run farther, because I came here to kill you. If you insist on seeing me, you will die!"
