When Zong Zheng Xiaoting returned from the Prince's Mansion, he heard Situ Xunxiao and Nangong Muchi discussing something.
Walking in slowly, I heard Nangong Muxi's disapproving voice, "This won't work. I think since the target is so obvious, you should be careful. If you go back to Yunguang Country, I'm afraid you'll be beheaded before you even get halfway!"
"Since the Queen Mother has come to Tianxi Kingdom, if I don't go back, I'm afraid that it's not just Tianxi Kingdom that will be in big changes." Situ Xunxiao refused, "Asking you to use all your military strength to send me back is absolutely not feasible!"
The two of them refused to give in, and the atmosphere became tense.
"Ahem." Zongzheng Xiaoting coughed a few times. "I say, are you two just going to stare at each other like this?"
"It's still him!" Situ Xunxiao and Nangong Muchi were furious at the same time.
"Okay, we don't have time to waste now." Zong Zheng Xiaoting glared at the two of them, "What's going on with the ambush you just mentioned?"
"Did you know that the Queen Mother came to Tianxi Kingdom?" Situ Xunxiao asked. Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head, he continued, "She arrived last night. As expected, when you went to pay your respects, you met Zhuge Feiyang."
"Your spies are really omnipresent." Zong Zheng Xiaoting chuckled, "In other words, the Queen Mother was the one who poisoned the snake?"
"Yes, according to Master, the Queen Mother was indeed injured because of the death of the insect." Nangong Muxi nodded, "But when she came to Tianxi Country, Yunguang Country had already set up a killing plan. If you go back like this, I'm afraid that before you can get rescued, you will be..."
"So, you want to give the troops in your hands to Xunxiao?" Zongzheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, looked at Nangong Muchi's worry, and guessed why the two were arguing.
“At least, with my father here in Tianxi Kingdom, nothing will go wrong for a while.” Nangong Muxi shrugged.
"You know everything, at least. Zhuge Feiyang is ambitious and not a pushover. Since he knows that your father is so partial to you, do you think he would not think of killing his father to seize the throne?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked calmly. It must be because of this that Situ Xunxiao refused. After all, if Yunguang Kingdom took action, wouldn't Tianxi Kingdom also start to move at the same time?
The two had been close friends for many years, so how could they not know each other's thoughts? However, after Zong Zheng Xiaoting pointed it out, they both became even more silent.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting also realized that the situation was very difficult. He lowered his eyes and remained silent. The room was completely silent.
Now, Tianxi Kingdom is in danger, Yunguang Kingdom is full of murderous intentions, and it is impossible to provide support. How can Situ Xunxiao support his troops? Even if Qinxiao comes to rescue, it is like a drop in the ocean.
Chaos between the two countries is not a good thing.
Suddenly, the three of them looked up at the same time and looked at each other. Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "It seems that we are thinking the same thing."
"Will the Roshan Congress be willing?" Nangong Muxi frowned.
"That depends on how many troops you borrow." Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked, "A greedy king will see if the benefits you offer him are enough to make him take the gamble."
"It seems that this is the only feasible method."
"If you are sure, we should set off as soon as possible." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, "However, do you know how many troops Zhuge Feiyang has? Shouldn't your father be careful too?"
"I will take care of this, but there is one thing that Master doesn't understand." Nangong Muxi spoke slowly and whispered to Zongzheng Xiaoting and Situ Xunxiao. The three of them talked all night until dawn.
After the Queen Mother left Tianxi Kingdom, Zongzheng Xiaoting and Situ Xunxiao also took the opportunity to leave. According to Zongzheng Xiaoting, the imperial sister had passed away, and he was afraid that Zongzheng Weimo would be sad, so he wanted to go to Luoshan Kingdom with Situ Xunxiao. Then he easily rejected Zhuge Qing's retention when he had the chance.
They rode at full speed, and with Nangong Muxi's care in the territory of Tianxi Country, the journey was smooth. After Zhuge Feiyang learned that the poison had gone away, he also kept a watchful eye and wanted to take advantage of the situation. Everyone was calculating and guarding against each other in their hearts.
However, what they didn't know and couldn't predict was that people's minds are unpredictable and many things may not go smoothly and according to the established plan.
When Zong Zheng Xiaoting arrived in Luoshan, the emperor sent people to greet her with great ceremony, which showed his love for the princess. That night, there was singing and dancing in the palace of Luoshan, and everyone was happy. The appearance of Zong Zheng Xiaoting also made the empress and the imperial concubine cry with joy.
The next day, Zong Zheng Xiaoting got up and went to Yu's study to ask to see Zong Zheng Weimo.
"Xiao Ting, why don't you spend more time with your mother?" Zong Zheng Weimo looked at Zong Zheng Xiao Ting with a doting look on his face.
"Your son has something to discuss with your father about your great plan..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting hesitated and looked around.
"Let's go and talk to father in the inner room." Zong Zheng Wei Mo nodded with satisfaction and walked inside with Zong Zheng Xiao Ting. As soon as they entered the room, they heard Zong Zheng Wei Mo asked anxiously, "What is the matter that requires you to come here in person?"
"Father, the matter is urgent. I have to go there myself. Otherwise, I am afraid of making mistakes. Besides, I don't trust anyone to pass on the message!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Zong Zheng Weimo seriously.
"You say!" Zongzheng Weimo sat upright in his seat, looking at Zongzheng Xiaoting with a cautious and serious expression.
"Yun Chun is dead." Zong Zheng Xiaoting hesitated, looking worried, which made Zong Zheng Weimo anxious. When he was getting impatient, Zong Zheng Xiaoting continued to speak, "Originally, we went to Tianxi Country to understand the poison in our bodies, but we never thought that we would discover a big hidden danger. Father's biggest concern is Situ Xunxiao and Nangong Muxi, right?"
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't..." Zong Zheng Weimo looked uncomfortable and said to Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "I'll wrong you."
Zongzheng Xiaoting naturally understood that what Zongzheng Weimo said were just the things that threatened him. He lowered his eyes and smiled sarcastically. Then he adjusted his mood and looked at Zongzheng Weimo shaking his head, "I understand that national affairs are above everything else. But father, if there is a person who is more hidden than Situ Xunxiao and Nangong Muxi, and even almost killed these two people quietly, would you think that Situ Xunxiao and Nangong Muxi are still threats that need to be eliminated?"
Hearing what Zongzheng Xiaoting said, Zongzheng Weimo was greatly shocked. If there is such a person, then who can be the rival?
He looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting with an inquiring look, but saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighing helplessly, "Father, you don't know that Zhuge Feiyang is such a person, right? And he has joined forces with the emperor of Yunguang Kingdom."
After dropping the explosive news, Zong Zheng Xiaoting chose to keep silent.
