No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 75 The Origin of Cold Frost (Part [-])

"What's going on?" Wei Changting felt that he was a little more stimulated tonight.

Leng Shuang's expression was calm: "A year ago, the third Battalion of Secret Words was ordered by the prince to go deep into the vast sea to explore the surrounding terrain. It just completed the mission three months ago and was ready to return. It happened that the royal court of the Qi tribe moved westward. I saw They collected Luo Mei people everywhere, so they took the opportunity to sneak in."

Wei Changting couldn't help giving her a thumbs up, "I admire."

"However, it's not the Qi people's plan to assassinate the prince in the palace today, right? Since Miss Leng has already gained their trust, why not just use the plan? Wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted if she performed like this today?" Wei Changting felt a little regretful.

Leng Shuang shook his head and said: "The Qi people donated beauties not to steal information from the prince. They should also know that the beauties donated by the Qi people will not be trusted by the prince no matter what, and they are easy to be self-defeating. If you use carefully cultivated beauties Elaborate sacrifices are nothing more than worthless sacrifices, so we only recruited some ordinary women who are good-looking and proficient in singing and dancing. There may be euphemisms from the Qi tribe among them, but they are not prepared for the prince."

"So, they sincerely offered their beauties to the prince?" Wei Changting asked curiously.

Leng Shuang said: "It's the Xiyi tribe's practice for the defeated party to present slaves and beauties, and it is enough for the Qi people to present Yue Jijin, who is known as the number one beauty, to the regent."

Wei Changting stroked his chin and nodded, "That's right, too bad... Now it's the Qi tribe trying to assassinate the regent."

Assassination is the pot, the Qi people have to admit it, and they have to admit it if they don't.

It's just a pity that Miss Lengshuang is so stunning, who would have thought that such a beautiful foreign beauty is actually a spy under Xie Yan's subordinates? !

Wei Changting suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to ask Xie Yan, "A year ago, the prince expected that the Qi people would retreat and move west?"

A year ago, the Qi tribe and them were fighting in full swing.At that time, Xie Yan expected that the Qi people would be defeated and move westward?

Xie Yan's eyes were indifferent, as if he was asking: What's the problem?
Wei Changting said with a dry smile, "Your Majesty's foresight is like a god, and my subordinates admire it."

Xie Yan didn't bother to pay attention to Wei Changting's convulsions from time to time, looked at Leng Shuang and said, "How is the situation in the royal court of the Qi clan?"

Leng Shuang said solemnly: "A month ago, Ji Qing was assassinated and had one of his arms cut off. We wanted to kill Ji Qing in the chaos, but it was a pity that after Ji Qing was seriously injured, he was protected by heavy soldiers. Because of the great defeat of the Qi clan, the situation of Bai Jingrong's mother and son in the royal court of the Qi clan is now in a dire situation. The queen of the Qi clan and her son, the third prince, united with their mother's family to attack Bai Jingrong, and wanted to unite with the leaders of various tribes to depose him. The position of the eldest son, the crown prince. Because of this, Bai Jingrong had no choice but to invite his third son, Ji Rong, to come to Dasheng as a hostage. Now, the internal Qi clan may not be stable in a short time."

Xie Yan nodded, "Very good. What do you think of Ji Rong?"

Hearing this, Leng Shuang frowned slightly and seemed to be hesitant.

"It's okay to say it straight."

Leng Shuang thought for a while and said: "Ji Rong is Bai Jingrong's third son. It is said that Bai Jingrong was injured and gave birth prematurely when he was still in the womb. He has been in poor health since he was a child. In addition, he is obsessed with the culture of the Central Plains, and his character is forbearing. Martial power, of course, is not very important to a prince like him, even Ji Sui and Bai Jingrong, the king of the Qi tribe, are very indifferent to this son."

Wei Changting laughed and said, "Can Bai Jingrong and Ji Sui really have a son like a little white rabbit? Interesting. My lord, what do you think?"

Xie Yan said: "Look at it first, since he is the son of the Bai family, there must be many people who want to trouble him." Whether it is really weak and harmless, just try it.

"That's right," Wei Changting said thoughtfully, "Although it has been almost 30 years, there are quite a few of those people who were still alive back then."

In order to compete with Gaozu for the world, brothers and sisters Bai Ke and Bai Jingrong did a lot of unscrupulous things.Some enmities can't be forgotten even after generations, not to mention those people are still alive today.

"What else?"

Leng Shuang pondered for a while, and said: "King Zhancheng is partial to Bai Jingrong's mother and son, and the queen of the Qi tribe has been dissatisfied with her mother for a long time. It's just that she can't compete with King Zhancheng in strength for the time being, and she seems to have the intention to introduce reinforcements. The third The spies stationed by the battalion in the west received the news that the Third Prince's subordinates secretly contacted various tribes of the Western Yi, and if we can get involved, perhaps the civil strife in the Qi tribe is not far away."

Xie Yan nodded and said: "Very well, this king will consider this matter. You have worked hard, go down and rest first."

Leng Shuang didn't hesitate, and immediately got up and said goodbye, "This subordinate will leave."

Seeing Leng Shuang's back disappearing outside the door, Wei Changting couldn't help praising her, "My lord is really cruel, such a stunning beauty, you just throw her into a ghostly place like Secret Camp, and even throw her away." Sent to Xiyi to blow the wind and eat sand. Violent waste, violent waste!"

Xie Yan looked at him coldly, "If you don't want to die, I advise you not to mess with her."

Wei Changting raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Does this girl have any other extraordinary background? That's right, she is obviously not from the Central Plains, how could she become a member of the secret camp?"

Xie Yan said: "She is the youngest daughter of King Rouran Tufu. The first emperor and I dug it out from the pile of dead people 14 years ago. In Xiyi, she is more useful than you."

hiss……

Wei Changting accidentally pulled his hair, grinning in pain, "Is she the last princess of Rouran?"

14 years ago, the Qi tribe took advantage of the unrest in the Central Plains and had no time to take care of the affairs of the Western Regions, so they sent troops to destroy the already weak Rouran tribe.It is said that there is no one alive in the royal family of Rouran. Who would have thought... there is a little princess left behind?
Fourteen years ago, this girl was only seven or eight years old, right?

"She has already shown her face in the hall, and it will be difficult to show her face in Shangyong in the future. How do you plan to arrange her?"

Xie Yan seemed to ask a strange question, "The secret word battalion is always working in secret. What's the difference if it doesn't show up? Besides, the third battalion is in charge of Xiyi affairs, and she may not stay in Shangyong all the time."

Wei Changting rubbed his nose and said with a dry smile, "You're right."

Wei Changting stood up and said, "Tomorrow we will formally negotiate with Gao Yuren. Your injury is still not healed. You should rest early. I want to go back."

Xie Yan didn't keep him either, "Go."

Wei Changting looked at him and frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did something happen in the palace today?"

"How to say?"

Wei Changting said, "It feels like you're not in a good mood, but... I don't think what happened at the banquet today should affect you."

Xie Yan was silent for a while, before he asked: "Zizhen, have you ever thought about the merits of being a dragon?"

Wei Changting was startled, he was taken aback for a moment, and then sat down slowly while supporting the table.

After a while, he said: "You don't want to, what's the use of thinking about it? Why do you suddenly remember to ask this?"

There are no dragons, so where does the power of the dragon come from?

Xie Yan said: "How do you know I don't want to?"

Wei Changting sneered, and said: "If you really have that kind of thought, you would have done it by yourself five years ago. Even if the Empress Dowager is here... it may not really stop you. Others don't know, but I still know a little bit. , I’m afraid you’d rather die yourself than try to snatch your little nephew’s throne. So, who said what?”

"The empress dowager won't be suspicious of you, other people... even if they are suspicious, they dare not say it in front of you." Wei Changting thought for a while, and said decisively: "It's the empress dowager."

It is said that Empress Dowager Zhu is Wei Changting's cousin, but Wei Changting's perception of this empress dowager is very ordinary.

Unfamiliarity is one thing, as long as Wei Changting thinks that the first emperor is considered wise, this queen mother is really not a smart person.

Xie Yan raised his hand and pressed the center of his brows without answering. Wei Changting stood up and looked at him and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to say that no one in the entire Zhen Guojun has such an idea. But...at least we all understand , Dasheng has been fighting for decades, and it will really die if it continues to fight. Everyone hopes to be stable for a few years. Since you don't want to, we don't want to."

After finishing speaking, Wei Changting didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked out.

When he was about to step out of the door, he heard Xie Yan's tired voice behind him, "Zizhen, thank you very much."

Wei Changting said with a smile: "Isn't it the job of the last general to follow the prince? I just hope that the prince will remember that the wealth and lives of hundreds of thousands of brothers in the entire Zhen Guojun are entrusted to you."

"I know, don't worry." Xie Yan said.

Wei Changting smiled, and stepped out of the study quickly without hesitation.

Wei Changting walked out of the study, and when he passed the small garden of Jingyuan, he saw a slender figure standing by the lake in the garden.

He was still wearing the big cloak that Wei Changting dragged from somewhere else, who wasn't Leng Shuang?

"Miss Leng, why don't you rest? Could it be that no one has arranged a place for you?" Wei Changting walked over and greeted with a smile.

Leng Shuang turned her head and looked at him coldly under the moonlight.

It was rare for Wei Changting to feel a little bit embarrassed, "Well...today, a flood really rushed into the Dragon King Temple. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, Miss Leng."

"Come again." Lengshuang said coldly.

Wei Changting was taken aback, "What?"

Lengshuang's eyes became darker, "My things."

Only then did Wei Changting remember that the golden flower hair ornament on her head fell off when she was carrying Lengshuang, and he picked it up casually.

He hurriedly took out a golden flower hairpin from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, at the same time he was a little curious, "Is this hairpin very important?"

Although it's gold, it looks worth a little money, but it's not worth waiting here at night to ask him for it, right? ,

Leng Shuang took the golden flower, but she didn't know where it was touched, only heard a whoosh, and a gust of wind shot past Wei Changting's side.

When Wei Changting turned his head, he saw a short golden nail embedded in the tree trunk behind him.Under the moonlight, the golden color had a strange color, obviously...

poisonous!

Wei Changting's smile froze on his face, and he was about to turn his head to say something to Leng Shuang, but he saw that Leng Shuang had already put away his things and flitted across the lake.

A few ups and downs have reached the other side, and then disappeared behind the rockery without looking back.
