In the capital star, in the imperial palace, at the grand court meeting, Zuoqiu Wen sat in his seat with a gloomy face. The ministers below also noticed that Zuoqiu Wen's face was not looking good, and they did not speak. Some ministers even exchanged glances with each other, and no one knew what they were thinking.

At this time, Zuoqiu Wen suddenly said, "I have just received news that the prince has encountered two assassination attempts in two days on Fuguang Star. The Star Lord's Mansion where the prince lives is almost destroyed, and the assassins actually used particle directional bombs and particle bombs. They are so rampant. I really didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to assassinate even the prince. Aren't they too bold? Will they dare to assassinate me one day?" Zuoqiu Wen was already roaring when he finished speaking. When the ministers heard what Zuoqiu Wen said, they all knelt down. No one was standing. They were also extremely surprised. They didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to assassinate Zuoqiu Zheng. This was too bold.

The people from the big families looked at each other. They all wanted to know who did it. Wouldn't assassinating the prince at this time be embarrassing for them? What they should do now is not to assassinate the prince, but to let him fend for himself on Fuguang Star. No one would care about him until everyone forgets about him. Then, when the overall situation is settled, they can find an opportunity to get rid of the prince directly. This is the most correct way. Assassinating the prince now will not benefit them in any way.

The prince had always been taught by Zuoqiu Wen himself. Although the prince did something wrong this time and was punished to go to Fuguang Star, it did not mean that Zuoqiu Wen had no feelings for the prince. On the contrary, they had feelings, and they had a very good feeling. If the prince had been allowed to stay at Fuguang Star, Zuoqiu Zheng might have slowly forgotten about the prince. But now sending someone to assassinate the prince, wouldn't this arouse Zuoqiu Wen's love for the prince? In any case, the prince was also his son who he had taught for so many years. If Zuoqiu Wen remembered the good things about the prince, would he have forgotten what the prince had done before? If he recalled the prince to the capital star at that time, then everything they had done before would have been in vain. Now they really hated those who did this. Who did it? Wasn't this messing with them?
Zuoqiu Wen looked at the people below, and then said in a deep voice: "I know that the person who assassinated the prince may be among you. You all need to be careful. I will definitely investigate this matter. It is not yet time for people to assassinate my son." After saying that, Zuoqiu Wen stood up, flicked his sleeves and left. However, those ministers knew very well that Zuoqiu Wen was really angry this time. All of them had very ugly faces. It was not until Decai shouted to adjourn the court that those ministers stood up.

Zhang Ruyi glanced at the people below, even at the princes, and then said, "I don't care who did it, I will send someone to investigate. Don't let me find out, otherwise, I won't let him go." After that, he flicked his sleeves and left. The other ministers also had gloomy faces and left the hall. Only Xu Kang and the others looked normal. They were not involved in this matter, so they are the most relaxed now. They did not send people to assassinate, and the life and death of the prince did not have any direct interest to them. So they are the most relaxed now. The faces of the others were not very good, and the faces of the princes were not very good either. They also knew the seriousness of the matter. If they were not careful, Zuoqiu Wen might come back, and this was what they least wanted to see. At the same time, everyone was also suspicious of each other, wondering if the other party did it, so they all decided that after returning, they must investigate carefully to see if the other party hired someone to do it.

On the other side, Zuoqiu Zheng was listening to the report from Correction Guo. There were quite a few casualties in the Star Lord's Mansion last night. More than a dozen eunuchs died, and even one of Zuoqiu Zheng's concubines died. There were also more than a dozen guards who were killed. All of them were implicated and died when those men in black blew themselves up. The loss in the Star Lord's Mansion was not small either. At least one-third of the houses had become dangerous buildings and could not be lived in. Although the other houses did not become dangerous buildings, they all had varying degrees of damage and needed to be repaired before they could be lived in. The most terrifying thing was that they had checked and found that a large part of the hovercrafts used by Zuoqiu Zheng had been tampered with and equipped with small bombs. Those bombs were not timed, but positioned, that is to say, once the car was away from the Star Lord's Mansion for a distance, the bomb would explode directly. This was a very terrifying thing. Fortunately, Fu Sheng saw the opportunity quickly last night and did not let the hovercraft leave the Star Lord's Mansion, otherwise Zuoqiu Zheng would be in real danger.

Zuo Qiuzheng felt cold sweat on his back after listening to the report. When Guo Zhengzheng and Jia Yu finished their reports, Zuo Qiuzheng's face turned horribly ugly. He said in a deep voice, "How about this? I will not go back to live in the Star Lord Mansion. You guys repair the Star Lord Mansion and rebuild the destroyed houses. I will find another place to build a new Star Lord Mansion. Fu Sheng will do this personally. Guo Changshi, you can send some construction robots to Fu Sheng. How about that? No problem, right?"

When Correction Guo heard what Zuoqiu Zheng said, he hurriedly said, "No problem, we will fully cooperate. I wonder which piece of land Your Highness has taken a fancy to? We will go to requisition the land immediately and ensure that it is completed in the shortest possible time." Correction Guo was now scared to death. You know, if he was really traced back for two assassinations in two days, he would be guilty. So now no matter what conditions Zuoqiu Zheng proposed, he would agree to them, not to mention that he just wanted to build a new mansion. This was too simple, and of course he would fully cooperate.

Zuoqiu Zheng nodded and continued, "I will not forcibly requisition the people's land. That would be bad. I will take Qingsong Mountain. From today on, Qingsong Mountain will be my new capital. No one is allowed to go over there. You send people to build roadblocks outside Qingsong Mountain. Unless I allow, no one is allowed to go over there." Zuoqiu Zheng gave the order directly.

When Zheng Guo heard what Zuoqiu Zheng said, he couldn't help but be stunned. The place Zuoqiu Zheng wanted was really beyond his expectations. Qingsong Mountain was originally a mine, but now it is abandoned. It can be said that it has no use at all. In this case, Zuoqiu Zheng actually wanted it. This was too surprising. Zheng Guo really didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zuo Qiu was watching Guo Zheng's expression, his face darkened, and he asked, "Why? Is it not possible?"

Corrector Guo said quickly, "Yes, but Your Highness, Qingsong Mountain was originally an abandoned mine with many mines. It is not appropriate to build a palace there. Why don't you choose another place?"

Zuo Qiuzheng waved his hand and said, "There is no use there anyway, so I'll choose that place. Fuguang Star is here, and other places are useful. If we use other places to build a palace, it will occupy the grassland, which will affect grazing. Let's choose that place, you go and make the arrangements."

When Principal Guo saw that Zuo Qiuzheng insisted, he stopped talking and responded without objecting. Zuo Qiuzheng glanced at the others and continued, "The dead should be properly buried. In the meantime, I will temporarily book this hotel. I don't want this to happen again. Okay, you guys can handle the rest of the small matters yourselves. I'm tired, so I'll go down."

Everyone responded and went down to work. Zuo Qiuzheng turned to Fu Sheng and said, "Fu Sheng, go and make arrangements. We must find out the situation at Qingsong Mountain as soon as possible. When the formation master arrives, we will start working immediately."

Fu Sheng responded, and at this time Gongsun Yulong said: "Your Highness, although Mr. Zhao Hai is too busy to have time to set up a magic array for Your Highness, why don't You ask someone to draw the situation in Qingsong Mountain, and mark out every mining tunnel clearly, and then pass the drawings to Mr. Zhao Hai, and ask Mr. Zhao Hai to help Your Highness design a magic array? When the array master comes, he can just arrange the magic array according to the drawings. What do you think, Your Highness?" Gongsun Yulong actually wanted to strengthen Zuoqiu Zheng's impression of Zhao Hai, so he said this. He had already discovered that Zuoqiu Zheng had a blind liking for Zhao Hai, and of course he would not let go of this opportunity. He just wanted to make Zhao Hai the perfect person in Zuoqiu Zheng's heart, so that if Zuoqiu Zheng really became emperor in the future, then their power would develop more smoothly, and helping Zuoqiu Zheng design a magic array was just a small matter, and Zhao Hai would not be needed at all.

Zuo Qiuzheng's eyes lit up when he heard what Gongsun Yulong said, and he immediately said, "This is a good idea. Fu Sheng, you make arrangements to draw the topographic map of Qingsong Mountain as soon as possible, and then send it to Mr. Zhao Hai, asking him to help me design a defensive formation. This must be done quickly, and when the formation master arrives, I hope I can start work right away."

Fu Sheng responded, and then he immediately went to make arrangements. In fact, he just sent a message to the Ghost Guard, and this message was really too simple for the Ghost Guard. The Ghost Guard was a clan of undead, and they had already known all the terrain of Qingsong Mountain clearly, including how many mines there were, how deep and long each mine was, how many mines were connected, and how many mines were in danger of collapse. They already knew everything, so after receiving the message from Fu Sheng, they must have been able to get the blueprints in an instant, but they did not do so, because they knew very well that getting the blueprints so quickly might not be a good thing for them, so he still had to wait a few days before getting the blueprints.

Fu Sheng was not surprised by this. Just like what the undead thought, if they took out the blueprints right away, Fu Sheng would be suspicious. So Fu Sheng just arranged the matter and did not think about getting the blueprints right away. Zuo Qiuzheng moved directly into the hotel from that day on. The whole hotel was booked. They lived on the top floor, and the other guards lived below. The whole hotel was completely protected. (End of this chapter)
