Chapter 106: Beili Wolf King x Central Plains Prince 42

Qian Zhou ran into them as soon as he went out. He couldn't help but frown when he heard them, "Qian Lingxiao is coming?"

If he dares to come, kill him.

Xiao Jintian didn't care about this at all. He looked at the servant from the Ma family who came to deliver the message, "What happened to Ma?"

The servant was so nervous that his voice was trembling. "Um... the horse... the horse... died this morning."

Xiao Jintian's face darkened instantly, and the servant hurriedly explained, "He was fine yesterday, and he ate a lot of food. Who could have thought that he would suddenly die!"

Qian Zhou asked in confusion, "What horse?"

Xiao Jintian raised his hand to stop the servant and said, "Nothing, have you finished breakfast?"

Qian Zhou shook his head. Seeing that Xiao Jintian looked unhappy, he patted the back of his hand and touched it twice to comfort him.

Like stroking a wolf cub's fur, the anger in Xiao Jintian's heart subsided a little.

Qian Zhou wanted to ask more questions, but Xiao Jintian pulled him back into the house, where breakfast was already ready.

There was only one person's chopsticks on the table. It was clearly approaching the New Year, so why was Xiao Jintian so busy again these two days?

Qian Zhou looked at the delicacies on the table. Xiao Jintian greeted him and left.

"Yinwu, which horse died?" Qianzhou asked.

Yin Wu looked away, "I don't know."

"You know." Qian Zhou glanced at him and said, "Tell me."

Yin Wu lowered his head, "It is... the king has been choosing a gift for you for a long time, and he is going to give it to you in the New Year."

"What?!"

With a bang, Qianzhou slammed his chopsticks on the table.

After finishing his meal, he rushed to the horse owner. He sent three men to look for clues and got the result in just half an hour.

Someone poisoned me.

Qian Zhou stood outside the courtyard, looking at the trembling Ma Hu family with an expressionless face, and said, "You can go back."

He couldn't muster a more friendly expression, so he raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "Can you find out who did this?"

The three men in front of him were all Zhongyuan's followers. They all shook their heads and said, "Your Highness, we can't find anything."

"Okay, then follow me back home."

Qian Zhou uncovered several of Qian Lingxiao's spies in Beili Capital, and after informing Xiao Jintian, he kept them in jail.

The last time he went to Lanyu Tower to look for Lanzhi, the two men in black jackets on the first floor followed him as soon as they left Qianzhou.

This is considered one of the more crude methods among them. Most of them are hiding among ordinary people and secretly providing information to Qian Lingxiao.

Qianzhou stood in front of the dungeon and walked around with a torch, with Yinwu following closely behind.

"Your Highness, there are already 12 people here. What should we do with them?"

Qian Zhou said, "Let's follow your Beili rules."

After saying that, he left, thinking that Xiao Jintian would help prepare the New Year banquet utensils in the largest open space in the Wolf King's Mansion, but there were only busy servants here.

There was no sign of the Wolf King.

"Where on earth did Xiao Jintian go?"

Yinwu really didn't know this time. Qianzhou couldn't find anyone and didn't want to do anything in the Wolf King's Mansion.

Seeing Lanzhi bringing people from Lanyulou to deliver tables and chairs, Qianzhou walked to Lanzhi's side.

Zhong Nan also came and whispered, "Your Highness, I have found out about the King's childhood for you."

Lanzhi said, "Let's talk about this back home. I'm a little busy right now. You two go first."

"Okay." Qian Zhou took Zhong Nan back to the house and closed the door.

Zhong Nan's words are shocking.

"The whip marks on the king's body were caused by your orders in the past. That's why the king hated you so much in the beginning."

Qian Zhou raised his eyes to look at him, "Did I have someone beat me?"

Qian Zhou: I didn't do that! I don't remember it. If I just broke a lamp while I was bored, would I be beaten to death?

[System 052: Yes...]

Zhong Nan said, "It was you. The king was sent back with only one breath left. The wound on his back became infected and festering. Then the Central Plains sent troops to attack Beili. Perhaps the old wolf king, deeply in love with his son, was affected and ordered a surprise attack. He was... stabbed in the throat."

"The body was never found, and the wife developed a heart attack and died soon after."

A sharp pain penetrated into his heart. Qian Zhou lowered his eyes and his throat became a little hoarse.

No wonder Xiao Jintian hated him so much at the beginning. If his parents died because of this, then the instigator deserved to be cut into pieces.

But Qianzhou had never remembered such a thing. It wasn't that he had forgotten it, it was that it had never happened.

Zhong Nan never thought that Qian Zhou was the one who did this, and the Third Prince was not as indifferent as the rumors said.

Qian Zhou closed his eyes and thought carefully. Since the Central Plains had decided to go to war, whoever whipped the soldiers 60 times would have the emperor's tacit approval.

But why did it fall on him in the end?

This technique was strangely familiar, like a hand clearing away fog, and an idea suddenly became clear in my mind.

Wang Yuhe was charged with cutting off the grain supply and was then brought before the Third Prince.

Qian Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, and he was sent in front of Xiao Jintian.

"Qian Lingxiao..."

Every word was as cold as ice, Qian Zhou's expression was terrifyingly cold. Zhong Nan felt that the Third Prince was as cold and terrifying as a Shura.

If Qian Zhou really died at the hands of Xiao Jintian, then the only one who could compete for the throne would be Qian Lingxiao.

Everyone says that the prince is like a brother, but Qian Lingxiao is the one with great means. He wants the throne and the reputation of caring for his younger brother.

Qian Zhou stood up. How would Xiao Jintian view him? Did Xiao Jintian know that this wasn't his doing? Or did he still hold onto his original thoughts, suppressing them simply out of affection?

He pushed the door open, "Ginwu!"

Yin Wu stood outside the door, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"I want to see Xiao Jintian. Where is he now?" Qian Zhou draped his cotton robe over his shoulders.

"My king, my king... he is not in the capital."

Qian Zhou paused, a nameless anger rising in his heart, "How many things has he hidden from me?!"

A clear female voice came from behind, "Your Highness, the King is going to the front line. An urgent war report came in the day before yesterday. It was the small border countries that joined forces to attack the Beili border."

"Yin Chi." Qian Zhou calmed down as he saw her leaning on the crutches. "You mean he's gone to the Beili border now? That means he won't be back for three days at the latest?"

"yes."

Yin Chi struggled to stand and said, "Your Highness, are you going to look for him?"

Qian Zhou lowered his eyes, "I can't go..."

If Qian Lingxiao had joined forces with small countries to attack Beili before the New Year, the capital city would definitely not be left without people.

The Wolf King's Palace was still bustling with preparations for the grandest banquet of the year. Qian Zhou took two steps back and stood in the shadows, watching the white mist he exhaled.

Outside the door, Yuan Hao hurried over, pushed through the busy servants and came to Qian Zhou.

"Did Qian Lingxiao look for you?"

Qianzhou said: "No."

"He's looking for me!" Yuan Hao took out a piece of yellow paper and stuffed it into Qian Zhou's hand.

After Qian Zhou opened it, his face quickly darkened as he read the words on it.

Qian Lingxiao asked him to go to Beilidu City, ten miles east, tomorrow and meet him alone.

The threat implicit in the words was very clear: if you don't go, or bring people with you, something bad will happen.

The danger at this juncture is self-evident. The Central Plains and the small countries are uniting to target Beili. This will be a devastating battle.

Lanzhi grabbed Qianzhou's wrist and said, "Zhouzhou, you can't go. Qian Lingxiao will definitely attack you."

Qian Zhou said, "My injury is healed."

"What?" Lanzhi didn't understand what he meant.

Yuan Hao also stopped him, "You absolutely cannot go. Xiao Jintian asked me to keep an eye on you. If anything happens to you, he'll punish me."

Yin Chi and Yin Wu also nodded solemnly.

Qian Zhou was helpless, "You don't believe me?"

"My injury has healed, which means no one can do anything to me."
