Chapter 354
After sending Zhou Yanqing and Lin Qingyuan out of the mansion, Zhou Xining couldn't help but let out a long breath.This day has been really ups and downs.

Although everyone was sent away, the matter was not over yet.

Sure enough, Jing Ying, Yun Gui and Chang Yan waited in the study together.

"What do you think of today's events?" Zhou Xining said as soon as he entered.

"Ma'am, the fifth prince thought the emperor was sick and stayed in the palace." Yun Gui said, "It's not easy for us to intervene in the palace. Now that even the commander of the imperial army is standing on the side of the fifth prince, I'm afraid it will become more embarrassing I can’t get in. Then, no matter what happens in the palace, His Royal Highness can only deal with it by himself.”

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fails and the Fifth Prince takes the throne, he may be the first to attack our family. After all, in his view, what we are doing is not protecting the country and the people, but helping the Prince. Your Highness is firmly in power."

"Yes, ma'am, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not make mistakes." Chang Yan also said.

Zhou Xining lowered his eyelashes, tapped lightly on the table with his fingers slightly bent, looking calm and calm.

"If I'm not mistaken, most of the arrangements made by Lord Hou should be related to the palace ban?" Zhou Sining asked the silent Jingying with a smile in his eyes.

"Madam is wise, that's true. My master feels that since the fifth prince failed to force the palace from the outside with the help of the second prince, then the most likely thing for him this time is to attack directly from the inside, that is, the emperor and the prince."

So after hearing the battle report, the emperor had a stroke and was bedridden, so the prince's death from poisoning was approaching.

"Recall the Longting guards who roamed around the country?" Zhou Sining raised his brows slightly and continued, "But the number of the Longting guards is not enough to fight against the imperial army, well, I guess except for the Longting guards. , there must be something else, right? He Beiting, you never fight a battle you are not sure of."

Hearing Zhou Xining's words, Jingying's eyes flashed a gleam, and she completely approved Zhou Xining in her heart, and she no longer had the slightest doubt about what Linfeng and others said before.Sure enough, my master's vision is poisonous, and there is only such a peerless wife in the whole world who is worthy of my master.

There was only one thing he still had doubts about.

That is, "I heard that Madam is good at martial arts, but since my subordinate entered Beijing, I have never seen Madam enter the kung fu training room."

Not only Jingying had this question, Yun Gui, An Yi, Chang Yan and others also had this doubt, and discussed in private more than once, where did Madam's martial arts come from?

It is said that music is not practiced by mouth, boxing is not practiced by hand, but they have never seen their wife enter a martial arts arena.

But none of them dared to ask, even Yun Gui and the others, who had seen Zhou Xining use force with their own eyes, were only puzzled and did not dare to ask.

Now listening to Jing Ying asking directly, both of them looked at Zhou Xining with bright eyes, looking forward to hearing the answer.

"I practice every day." Zhou Xining flicked his wrist, and two filaments popped out from the sleeve along the palm of his hand, "Do you understand now?"

Yun Gui and Chang Yan looked at each other and shook their heads, "I don't understand."

Jingying's eyes flashed, but she understood.

"Thin silk is like a thread, Madam is not being a female celebrity every day, but practicing kung fu!"

Zhou Xining glanced at Yungui and Changyan, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Look, this is the gap. Let's not talk about Changyan, Yungui, you saw me use it when I was attacked by the Xiaoyi River." Yes."

Yun Gui raised his hands and scratched his head with a smile, "How did this subordinate think of this? This subordinate always thought that Madam used an exclusive hidden weapon at that time. Madam, what is this called?"

"Spider silk? No, it's dragon skein." Before Zhou Xining could speak, Jing Ying took a step forward and begged Zhou Xining to let him have a look.

Zhou Xining didn't talk nonsense, with a flick of her wrist, two filaments directly entangled with Jingying's arm. Even though she had controlled her strength, there was still a mark on Jingying's clothes.

Jingying touched it lightly with her finger, and a drop of blood instantly appeared on the fingertip.

"Sure enough, a rare sharp weapon in the world!"

After satisfying the curiosity of several people, Zhou Xining withdrew the dragon twist and brought the topic back to the right track.

"Jingying, now it's your turn to clarify my doubts. Tell me, apart from recalling the Longting guards from all over the place, what other arrangements did He Beiting make? The hundreds of guards in the palace didn't actually follow him to Beidi, but they were all arranged in the palace?"

Zhou Xining stood up abruptly, his eyes full of solemnity.

"Did you report to the emperor? Does His Royal Highness know about it?"

Although He Beiting's starting point is to help the community and protect the prince of a country from being harmed by trivial matters, if people find out, even if the He family is not directly convicted of regicide and treason, they will be accused of conspiracy.

This matter was no small matter, she knew that He Beiting had always liked to use strange soldiers, but she never thought that he would make dangerous moves with soldiers.

"Don't worry, ma'am, before the master left the capital, he had secretly reported to the emperor through the Longting Suwei, and the purple gold dragon order given to the master by the emperor already has the right to deploy troops, and our He family's soldiers are also soldiers.

In addition to our He family's soldiers, the master has dispatched thousands of elites from various barracks to replace the Donggongwei and Dianqianwei. Those people are now under my direct control. "

That's right, the Zijin Dragon Order has the right to deploy troops, but she forgot that the emperor gave that Dragon Order to He Beiting, so it's okay.

"That's all right. With these arrangements, the fifth prince will not be able to cause any trouble in the palace." Chang Yan said.

"The fifth prince should not be underestimated. I can't see through his actions." Jingying shook her head and said, "Besides, I always feel that besides the preparations in the palace, he has other arrangements outside."

"You haven't been staring at it these days, but what new discoveries have you made?" Yun Gui asked Jingying.

"It's because I haven't found anything that makes me even more disturbed." Jingying said: "If the fifth prince only has this kind of means, he won't be able to live today."

Zhou Xining took it for granted, even the scheming Chu Yuming became a knife on his way forward, the fifth prince was unfathomable.

After talking about these things, Zhou Xining changed the subject to He Beiting.

"What's the specific situation in the Northland? Did your master say when you'll be back? Years ago or after the year?"

"Oh, everything is normal in Beidi, master..." Changyan stopped in the middle of speaking in Jingying's smiling eyes.

"Okay, let's talk about what's going on. Don't hide it. I know that He Beiting likes to use dangerous tactics. If you use them well, you can win the battle. If you don't use them well, you may lose a lot.

The defeat in Qizhangyuan, I guess, was not due to his surprise soldiers, but fell into the enemy's trap.

You communicated once every three days, but you kept telling me that there was no news, because you were afraid that I would go to the North to beat up people after I found out the truth?

Tell me, how is he doing now? "
