Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

"He is not an ordinary person, and he was allowed to stay in the center at the beginning because he thought it would be useful in the future."

In the imperial court of Daxia, although the official position of "Lang" is not a formal central official, it can be regarded as a reserve official. Even if he has no formal power, he can still receive a considerable salary .

Therefore, Xia Yuxiao naturally wouldn't really raise a useless alternate official.

"Okay, next, it's our own business." Xia Yuxiao said, "Since Wuheya is ready, we should also be ready to clear the obstacles for her. The current Saar Dynasty internal , her appearance is actually not an advantage, after all, to the Saar people, she is a woman, and she is also a person who 'submits to Xia Guo'."

"Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility of military support. Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the Saar Dynasty actively occupied the land of the Solqin tribe."

Xia Yuxiao gave her own judgment.

It is too difficult to rely on Wuheya's own operation to let her seize the throne. Firstly, Wuheya is not orthodox and has no qualifications to compete for the throne. Second, she had previously signed a truce with Daxia as a representative .

In this case, it is difficult for the people of the Saar dynasty to support her.If she could overthrow the current Thrall dynasty on her own, she would have been able to take the throne long before she was persecuted.

Daxia must secretly give her some support, from military, political, and financial resources, she needs to give a certain amount of help.When necessary, maybe even Daxia's army will be sent off in person.

"The interior of the Saar dynasty is actually not monolithic. The old king still holds the main power. Although Bango is in charge of state affairs in name, he has not officially ascended the throne of the king, which also provides opportunities for other competitors. Given the opportunity, before Ban Ge officially becomes the king, I think they should seize this opportunity to take a good look at the situation and try to seize the throne."

Xia Yuxiao told the truth.

Now it's just that guy, Brother Bang, who is acting as an "agent". Whether it's the name of the king or the power, it is still in the hands of his father. Before the candidate for the next king is fully determined, the other heirs will definitely Seize the opportunity and find a way to win the power from Brother Ban.

Therefore, the Saar dynasty is not of one mind, and there is still a possibility that she can win over.

"I see. I will arrange for someone to deal with this matter."

In the final analysis, it is either using money or promising power. The former needs money, and the latter needs to show those people their background and ability.

Of course, in the Saar Dynasty, this "background" was basically equivalent to military capabilities.

No matter which one, Qin Ji is sure to deal with it, and Xia Yuxiao's support is basically enough.

"Okay, it's getting late, I should go too."

After Xia Yuxiao finished speaking, she stood up.

"Your Majesty, you can't go." Qin Ji said.

Hearing this, Xia Yuxiao suddenly felt a little upset.

Oh, if you tell me not to leave, I won't leave. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?

Thinking of this, Xia Yuxiao stood up and walked out: "I won't bother you, I'll come here first today..."

Opening the door, a gust of cold wind came in, accompanied by large flakes of snow, Xia Yuxiao shivered all over, and then silently closed the door.

"It's snowing heavily tonight, besides, Siyue really wants to chat with you for a while, so don't leave, my cooking skills are not bad, why don't you let His Majesty come to taste my home today The food is also good."

"......All right."

------------

In the cold wind, Lingyan's figure appeared at the gate of Chunning Palace.

Her body was covered with snow, but she didn't care about it at all.She came back from the outside with a big bag on her shoulders.

The girl walked to the door and looked at the closed door. With a sack in one hand and a knife in the other, she had no spare hand to knock on the door, so she simply lifted her right foot and knocked gently on the door.

The door was instantly torn apart, and the cold wind gushed in from the door.

And behind the door, Qin Ji, who was surprised, and Xia Yuxiao, who was stunned by fright, stared straight at her.

"what are you doing?"

Qin Ji asked speechlessly.

"...Master, I'm sorry, I used too much strength."

"Is this a question of strength?!"

Kicked at the door?Where did she learn the etiquette she taught herself back then! ?

Originally, he planned to talk to Lingyan about her etiquette, but Qin Ji's eyes were quickly attracted by the big bag on Lingyan's shoulder:

"Oh? Done?"

"It's done." Lingyan put down the pocket, and then said in a calm tone, "It's very good at hiding. If I didn't search every corner carefully, I'm afraid I would have overlooked it."

"Well, well done."

Qin Ji praised.

"Well, bro, can you fix the door first...it's freezing me to death." Qin Siyue's voice was trembling.

In winter, the door is broken, which is a headache.And if you say it's simply broken, it's okay, but the problem is that Lingyan's kick directly smashed the door.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem," Qin Ji waved his hand, "Lingyan, go to the warehouse in the courtyard and get a new door to install."

"Yes."

Lingyan nodded, and then put the bag on the ground.

The bulging pockets vaguely reveal the outline of a person.

"This is?"

"I'm sorry for stopping you just now, Your Majesty." Qin Ji checked a little to make sure that the person in his pocket was not completely dead, "If I let you go out just now, Your Majesty, you were attacked by these guys in the palace. It's a big event, and I believe you don't want to make it known to everyone."

Chapter 73 The Assassin Who Came From Nowhere

Lingyan moved quickly. She took out a new door from the warehouse in the yard, and then carried the door to the door frame and installed it in a short while.

It seemed that this was not the first time she had done such a job.

"So, you didn't let me go out just now because there were assassins outside?"

Xia Yuxiao asked.

"To be precise, I'm not sure if it's an assassin, but I think that a person who sneaked into the palace secretly and stared at the emperor's tip must at least not be a frank person. Your Majesty's safety cannot be ignored now, if Now you are attacked in the palace, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will cause unnecessary trouble in the court."

After Qin Ji finished speaking, he kicked the bag lightly: "So, I secretly asked Lingyan to deal with this guy. It's not a difficult matter anyway, and in the palace, even if it really can't be solved, just shout out and let him go." Long Wei, they will probably help her hunt down the assassin in time."

"You really took great pains."

Xia Yuxiao sighed.

She originally thought that Qin Ji had other ideas for keeping her, but she never expected that the other party was actually thinking about her own safety.

"That's natural. I've said it a long time ago. I'm loyal to His Majesty." Qin Ji said with a smile.Of course, he wasn't sure how much Xia Yuxiao could believe this.

"So, can we ask him carefully now?" Xia Yuxiao didn't know much about interrogation, so she asked Lingyan next to her suspiciously.

Hearing His Majesty asking herself, Lingyan paused for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was a little harsh just now, this person hasn't woken up yet, but if Your Majesty wants to ask, I can wake him up. "

"Okay, wake him up, I want to know who is trying to assassinate me in the palace."

Xia Yuxiao said with a sneer.

However, at the same time, she couldn't help but look at Lingyan with admiration.It's not that she didn't bring anyone with her this time, but she brought two dragon guards with her. When she talked with Qin Ji just now, the two dragon guards were also standing at the door.But the two of them didn't find anything unusual, but Qin Ji and Lingyan did.

In fact, this is a very normal thing. Although the main job of the dragon guards is to protect the emperor, they are only protectors, not real assassins. They have no way to predict the actions and positions of the assassins.But Lingyan is just the opposite. As a child from the Devil's Cult, she actually has quite a few strange abilities.

The other party is a professional assassin, but at the same time, Lingyan is also a professional assassin. She has rich experience in judging where the other party will be the main ambush location and what methods the other party will use to sneak.

Lingyan glanced at Qin Ji, and after getting Qin Ji's permission, opened the sack.

Inside the sack, there was a person.

This man was thin and short, and he looked like a monkey. Qin Ji couldn't help but think of a celestial master from the celestial master's mansion he had seen before.

However, the celestial master he met was a little old man. It is normal for an old man to be thin, but the person in front of him looks like he is just middle-aged, so it is rare to see such a thin man—— At least, if the diet can ensure enough food, most middle-aged people will grow some meat.

Xia Yuxiao frowned and looked at the unconscious guy in front of her. She didn't know him, and she couldn't tell the power he belonged to from the clothes and decorations on his body.

Lingyan stepped forward, then raised her foot, and tapped the opponent's body with her toe.

The assassin trembled all over, as if he had been stimulated by something, he opened his eyes suddenly.

"Your Majesty, this is the assassin I caught. I had a fight with him just now. This guy is a bit difficult to deal with, but he still lacks strength, and I broke his ribs."

Lingyan spoke harsh words with a very calm expression.

Qin Ji signaled Qin Siyue to stay in the back room first, facing this scene that might make her uncomfortable, Qin Siyue still chose to go back to the back room not to look at these things.

Lingyan squatted in front of the other party, and then stared into the other party's eyes: "Tell me, who sent you here? What are you doing here?"

Sure enough, this thin guy didn't say a word, he just looked at Lingyan quietly, not only was there no panic in his eyes, but even no hatred.

Seeing that ordinary questioning methods were not enough to make the other party realize the reality, Lingyan chose not to say much, and turned to look at Xia Yuxiao directly: "Your Majesty, I suggest you avoid it for the time being, you may not be able to bear the next scene. "

This sounded like a reminder to Xia Yuxiao, but it was actually an indirect reminder to the assassin in front of him.

However, just as she finished speaking, the assassin suddenly babbled a bunch of words that were completely incomprehensible.

These words made Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao look at each other in blank dismay.

Bad, isn't this grandson from Daxia?

Judging from the face, the other party's appearance undoubtedly has the characteristics of a Daxia person.

"What is he saying?"

Xia Yuxiao touched Qin Ji's elbow suspiciously—Qin Ji had served as her translator when she was in the Weixi Empire before, so thinking about it, asking Qin Ji was indeed the most likely way to solve the problem.

but......

"He said he was an Islander..."

"Islander?"

"No, let me just say it casually, Your Majesty, don't take it seriously." Qin Ji quickly pulled back his subconscious play just now, "Excuse me bluntly, Your Majesty, although I know a few foreign languages, I can only deal with a few countries. That's all, I can't understand what this guy said at all."

Can't understand?

Xia Yuxiao knew that Qin Ji knew several foreign languages, but his understanding was based on political needs. In other words, he knew San Mano and its derivatives, which are commonly used in Western church countries. There is also a small amount of the local language of Saar country, and the language of Dongsheng country.

He couldn't understand, which meant that the guy in front of him might not belong to these countries.

However, Great Xia and most other countries do not have any deep hatred, at least not to the extent that they would send assassins to assassinate Xia Yuxiao at the risk of destroying the country.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, young master. I've seen a lot of guys who use foreign languages ​​to pretend that they don't understand Xia language. In Huilin alone, there are nearly twenty spies who have tried this trick. As long as With proper interrogation, spies all over the world may 'learn' the Xia language."

After saying this, Lingyan raised her hand as if inadvertently, and nailed a dagger to the opponent's calf. In an instant, the assassin screamed, trembling and writhing and struggling, muttering That unintelligible language.

"..." She frowned, then lowered her head to look into the other person's eyes, "Master, he...seems like he really doesn't understand the Xia language. At least he's not from Daxia."
