"Sigh." The assassin suppressed the unease in his heart, and sighed heavily, "You are so brazen, but it has been six years, and that person is already a great figure that even the Emperor has to fear, becoming our sworn enemy, do you think he cares about you? If he cared about you, then when you became a guest of Susu Yue, Hubei would have already been forced into a corner by the huge army of 100,000! "

"You don't need to worry about my matters!" The woman lowered her eyes, unable to see her expression.

"You …" The assassin shook his head helplessly, "Master Mo, you only need to collect all the information on the Dragon Slaying Pass when you come to Hubei. I will follow Master into action and Master Mo and I will be responsible for protecting the Sovereign King! It's said that the Sovereign King cares very much about the [Ancient Grand Xia's Dragonslaying Four Treasures Painting]? "

The assassin thought of a certain possibility, and the shock in his heart was not small.

He looked at the silent woman, his voice somewhat shaky. "What? You heard about the Swallow Pavilion too? "

The woman nodded.

"Is that for real?" The assassin clenched his hands as he stared into the woman's eyes.

"You don't know?" Han Ci Qiu's gaze was deep as she slightly rotated the white porcelain bowl in her hand. "Actually … I have thought about it for a long time. With that person's current position, he could be said to be above tens of thousands of people. Furthermore, he is close to the Emperor.

"According to the news from the Swallow Pavilion, the Eastern Emperor has been infatuated with the Dao of alchemy in recent years. In the imperial court, the castrates, the ancestral shrines and the government officials have all been fighting fiercely and have all been defeated.

"Duke of Zhenbei? So this means that the Su Clan is really involved? Was the Sovereign King here for a secret meeting with Su Jin? But he, Su Jin, was too daring! He's one of the ten great generals under the Eastern Emperor's command! " The assassin was shocked.

"You shouldn't know about this!" The coldness in her eyes and the smile on her face gradually faded. They once again returned to the absolute beauty and silence of the woman in the painting. One could only watch from afar and not mock her with cold eyes.

For a moment, the restaurant became lonely. The swordsman Huang Quan and Han Ci Qiu remained silent. Only the greasy wind lamp on the table was gradually extinguished by the wind and was about to be extinguished, reflecting Han Ci Qiu's face. Her jet-black hair splashed onto the paper like ink, reflecting the cold glaze.

When the wine in the bushes ran out, Han Ci Qiu finally picked up the veil covering her face, hiding her peerless appearance. She looked at Gloria, who remained silent. Her long eyelashes formed a circle of shadow under her eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "This matter involves a lot, so we can't tell who's friend or foe. You and I can only ask to protect ourselves in this chaotic world. I won't sell out Su Xiyue for her kindness, and I won't allow you to hurt her! In addition, the Ninth Prince may arrive in Hubei Province in the near future. The elders of Swallow Pavilion ordered me to approach the Ninth Prince and find out his intentions for coming here. "

"Merciless Autumn!" The assassin suddenly raised his head and blurted out in a panic, "Do not go near the Ninth Prince, Xia Chuxun. He has already been targeted by the emperor's secret troops!"

"What did you say?" The Emperor's secret troops? "The Heavenly Policy Manor?" Han Qinqiu's tone was filled with genuine surprise. The Heavenly Policy Manor was an organization not inferior to Iron Curtain. Their movements had always been secretive. They were responsible for monitoring the various kingdoms' dukes. Their men were equally ruthless and merciless.

"How do you know that the Ninth Prince is being targeted by the Emperor's secret forces? The Ninth Prince was just a prince who had fallen in love with a poet. He was not interested in ancestral shrines or emperors, and spent all his time traveling to study at the academies of the Heavens, making poems about filial piety to curry favor with the emperor. Such a bastard born from a servant girl had no position in the imperial family at all, nor did he have the opportunity to inherit the throne. "Netherworld, the Swallow Pavilion has no idea about this news, how did you find out?!"

"I didn't want to say much," the assassin sighed. "You know, we are currently in a dormant period, and the dukes are still paying close attention to us, so the elders in this hall do not want to attract too much attention from the Heavenly Policy Hall at this sensitive time. This will be very troublesome for our plan!"

"What exactly do you know? Have you reported this to Mo Qiuyu? " Han Ci Qiu's tone was harsh.

"No, I also inadvertently learned about this from the Marquis of Mingchang during an operation. The ninth prince, Xia Chuxu, is actually the true ruler of the Windy Pavilion. When he began his study of the various kingdoms eight years ago, he secretly began his plan of joining forces to kill the monarch!"

"Allied Kingslayer!" Even though the Emperor of Wen was currently ignoring the government, his Iron Blood Art was still able to intimidate the dukes. Moreover, the Heavenly Wind Tower was a taboo for the Wen Emperor; it was the younger brother of the Wen Emperor who personally executed the true owner of the Heavenly Wind Tower, Xia Jiuzi.

"The Ninth Prince used his studies as an excuse to keep in touch with the various marquises and large aristocratic families along the way. In the past six years, Xia Chuxun had already obtained the support of over a hundred generals of various countries, as well as several dozen elders and patriarchs of large aristocratic families, who had long ago resented the castrated party's control over the political affairs of the country. When the Ninth Prince, Xia Chuxun, had stood out under the name of the Qing King and made a promise to them, they all decided to join hands as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I don't know why this news was leaked, but this matter has been found out by Jun Wuyan of the Yunshan Jun Family! "

"Jun … Jun Wu Yan! " The woman ruthlessly clenched her fist. She had a special intuition that the Swallow Wings Pavilion might have been taken advantage of by someone. This so-called alliance killing of kings was simply a plot of a single person, a plot to take them all out in one fell swoop!

Huang Quan sighed, "Who is Jun Wu Yan! If he knew, then the Emperor would naturally know too, but he was different from the Emperor. The Emperor could not kill the heads of the dukes and elders from the aristocratic families in the various countries, thus creating a storm that would shake the foundations of Grand Xia. Therefore, the Emperor only had one goal, which was to secretly execute the ninth son of the Emperor, Xia Chuxun, at all costs.

"In that case, will we become the best scapegoats?" Han Qingru sat back down and continued speaking.

The swordsman Huang Quan became silent, holding the white porcelain wine bowl in his hands, "The water in Hubei is not that simple, the ninth prince had plotted for six years, why did he expose his identity at this time? If the ninth prince died at this time, what would happen to the ancestral hall? Who was the winner? On the surface, the Ninth Prince is the contact person, but who is behind the scenes? "

"If the Ninth Prince dies in the Li Kingdom, the Emperor will pretend to be furious and ask to investigate this matter to the end. And if the Ninth Prince dies in the Li Kingdom, the Emperor will pretend to be furious and ask to investigate this matter to the end.

"That's right. When that time comes, the Su Clan will have to bear the wrath of the imperial capital and even the Ancestral Temple party. No matter what, the Emperor will order the execution of the Northern Marquis, and the fate of the Li Clan's Su Clan can be imagined. I keep having the feeling that someone is fishing. The person behind all of this is in the capital, but he threw the bait and the hook to the Li Kingdom, which is a thousand miles away. I think … That person's plan is no different from a northern Huibei's dismemberment, and more likely to be a long-planned chaos in the world! "

Han Qingru and Huang Quan looked at each other as a bone-piercing chill enveloped the two of them. This was obviously borrowing a knife to kill, but to borrow the emperor's knife to kill the dukes of the world.

"It's too late to regret it now. You and I have even become part of someone's chess game. I'd like to see how far that person can go in the end!"
