Mo Qiuyu was sensitive to that faint gaze.
"You also saw what happened in the secret report. You also saw the letter from the Ninth Prince Xia Chunmun, the combined army killing kings, this kind of thing is equivalent to conspiring against and usurping the throne. Do you think it's trustworthy for him to say that the Seatopple Marquis, Xia Xuan, is the mastermind this time? " Liu Xiyuan's voice sounded somewhat hoarse, but it was sonorous and forceful as it echoed in Mo Qiuyu's ears.
"It doesn't seem to be a secret among the marquises that Xia Chuqin conspired to kill the monarch. But aside from the eunuchs in the imperial capital, the royal family doesn't seem to be aware of it. Is this a matter that Xia Xuan suppressed?"
"You don't know? Was it used by someone? " Mo Qiuyu's sword-like eyebrows twitched, a trace of raging waves could be seen deep within her pupils.
Liu Xi Yuan caught the look of shock in his eyes and laughed lightly: "If Xia Xuan didn't know about this, it would be that someone had set up another trap for Xia Xuan. That powerful Xia Xuan is also just a chess piece in this game, the person behind this is definitely plotting an even bigger trap. Even the Emperor, including you and me, Tie Mu's people could become chess pieces for that man! "
Liu Xi Yuan thought for a while, his eyes were filled with bewilderment.
"This... "How is this possible!?" Mo Qiuyu's heart sank as she said with a wry smile, "The Emperor seems to be overthinking it. Where in the world would there be such a monstrous person like this?"
"I hope I've overthought things..." Liu Xi Garden looked at the list, "Su Jin is actually among them. He, Su Clan, has ruled the north for many years, and the Emperor's spies must be all over the north. Where did Su Jin get his confidence from? Isn't he afraid that the Su Clan will suffer an unexpected calamity? "
After all, over the years, the Eastern Emperor had been obsessed with the Dao of alchemy, and his decisions were often made by that woman and her castrate. Xia Xuan's position is high, and he already harbored hatred for the castrates and the imperial harem.
Mo Qiuyu took out a map, placed it in front of West Liu Garden, and pointed to the lines on the map, "This time, all the experts of Swallow Stick Pavilion have come out, so they have thoroughly investigated the Ninth Prince's travel routes and obtained their secret conversation. Looking at it now, this Xia Chu Xun is indeed not simple, he actually contacted eight of the sixteen kingdoms' dukes, and there are no less than a hundred aristocratic families.
Liu Xi Yuan stared at the list and a smile appeared on his face that was hard to detect: "What benefits did Xia Chu give us?"
"From now on, Yang Xia City will be divided into Tie Mu's personal territory, the Liu family will become the marquis, and the land three thousand miles north of Nan Yang Pass will belong to Yang Xia!" When Mo Qiuyu thought of that person's promise, she still felt that it was a little unrealistic.
"Three thousand kilometers north of South Sun Pass …" Liu Xiyuan frowned, "Since that's the case, we've become the greatest duke in the four counties of Jiangnan!"
"If Xia Xuan is able to succeed, these are not difficult things for him!" Mo Qiuyu thought for a moment, then said, "The Yellow Springs has contacted Han Ci Qiu. We can go to Hubei at any time. Should we contact Su Jin secretly and discuss about the alliance's plan to kill the monarch?"
"We're going to Hubei on this trip, don't startle the Su Clan in the north!" Liu Xi Yuan sneered, "Ah, Autumn Rain, don't be tempted by the huge benefits in front of you, because behind these huge benefits is often a hell-like killing intent hidden behind the scenes! "Tell Rain Listening Pavilion, Thunderbolt Pavilion, White Hall, and Honghu Pavilion to pay close attention to this matter!"
Liu Xi Yuan placed the pieces of paper on top of the candle flame. The flame crawled up the white paper like a snake, turned into ashes, and disappeared.
Mo Qiuyu respectfully stood there, the entire hall was filled with the concentrated fragrance of sandalwood.
"Emperor Wen Shao was someone who could defeat all the kings of the world by himself, and even starve to death the emperor of the martial arts back then. If he did not have ambition and ruthlessness in his heart, why would the ten generals under his command be willing to follow a man like Xia Jing? What was the reason? If Xia Xuan dares to make a move while the Emperor is still alive, that does not mean that he is stupid enough, unless he has enough courage to lift a blade against a lion! "
Liu Xi Yuan turned around and walked towards the back. Soon, Mo Qiuyu could no longer see his figure.
", Third Volume … "This is the only goal of our trip!"
Hearing the voice behind the scenes, Mo Qiuyu's sword-like eyebrows fiercely raised and her eyes revealed a tinge of surprise.
According to the records of Grand Xia in the Chinese Ocean Palace, Xia Zulong had obtained three books from his master, the Seven Seas Grandmaster. These three books were divided into three parts: the Book, Martial Arts, and Huang Ji.
The paper's "Three Talents of Heaven Policy" was a very profound theory of governance, which also included the five parts of the military machine, the civil administration, the imperial throne, the body training, and the theory of the Qi nation. Later on, it was placed in the Tian Ji Manor's sanctuary, where it was used for reading and learning by the previous generations of Xia Emperor.
However, the martial arts paper, "The Tribute to the Wind and Cloud", was actually a set of mysterious military strategy books. The book was said to be divided into four parts: Dragon Roar, Tiger Tremor, Hai Qianhe, and On the Execution of Owls. There were many incomplete copies of the first three divisions that were passed down in the various families. Only the Xiao Monarch had been sealed as a Forbidden Book by the Emperor, preventing future generations from looking at it.
According to the legends of Ye Shifeng, the art of killing an owl was a method of fighting the heart. It could be used to destroy the world, but the people it killed were all people who were like kings and nobles of the world. In the past, the Eastern Flower Country's Xiao Tian Jie had obtained half a page's worth of scrolls of the country's policy and several pages of fragments of the theory of how to exterminate owls. After many years of studying, he had finally written "The Seven Deadly Swords". He had read it before, and it could be said that it was extremely mysterious. Compared to the theory of how to execute an owl that seemed to have clouds mud on it, it was even more mysterious in his eyes.
Mo Qiuyu looked at the curtain and softly said, "The plan to slay the dragon and destroy the nation, the method to scheme, if we can obtain it together …"
"All martial arts are small paths, the Hidden Flare, the Dragon Slaying Four Diagram, is the true essence!" What could be more important than the rise and fall of the dynasty? If one possessed it, they could establish a kingdom, and the hidden dukes would fear it! In addition, when you return to the ninth prince, tell him that when the day comes for him to kill his king, Tie Mu will definitely help him!
"This subordinate will arrange it now. We can leave for Hubei City in a short while! The subordinates of the Ninth Prince have also remembered it! " Mo Qiuyu quickly turned and walked out of the palace.
Behind the scenes, Liu Xiyuan looked at the secret report in his hand, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes. "Cloud Dragon Violet Palace's Young Master Hua, sixth son of the White Emperor … Interesting! "
One autumn rain, one winter.
The torrential rain that followed for several days filled the river outside the Dragon Slaying Mountain Pass. Within the glowing shadow, a few Magnificent Carp were leisurely moving back and forth between the floating algae in the water, stealing some free time.
On the majestic battlements at the top of the city, the dark red color of blood could still be vaguely seen. In the distance, on the hard bluestone, the black standard of the northern army's guard still fluttered. On it were engraved the words "Su Family to Zhenbei", displaying the might of the past. At this moment, the warm sunlight suddenly became stronger. It was like a sword breaking through the clouds and penetrating into the mountain pass.
The Hidden Dragon Institute was hidden under layers of sunlight in the violet forest, surrounded by thousands of Iron Armor Warriors.
Layers of heavily armored guards guarded the only building on the mountainside to the east. The black-armored warriors outside the red glazed roof tiles seemed to stand out among the crowd, appearing exceptionally silent and distant.
"Has Lord Shaohua woken up?"
A cautious voice came from below the pavilion. One of the court ladies lifted up her dress and knelt down on the white jade steps in front of the library.
