Chapter 117
At night, Shiqi sat on the roof and looked at the distant sky. He heard that Xichu's palace was still preserved, but it was already dilapidated. It was the place where she was born.

"Unexpectedly, little Shiqi is still a little princess!" Nan Gongxing jumped up, she finally knew the cause and effect, and also knew the danger brought by Shiqi staying by her side.

It has been more than ten years since Western Chu destroyed the country, but these survivors can still gather tens of thousands of soldiers, which shows how firm their will is. Such people will not easily let go of an opportunity.

Especially their empress is still alive in this world, and she is still under house arrest by her old enemy Nan Gongchang. Such slogans are extremely provocative, and Nan Gongxing can feel how many problems they will encounter in the future without thinking too much.

Shi Qi hugged his leg, his eyes dim: "I only have a little memory when Western Chu destroyed the country. I only remember that the master picked me and my brother out of the ruins, and then I was taken back to the capital."

Nangongchang did not treat the two of them badly, but their identities were too special. If other people knew that Nangongchang took in the two brothers and sisters, there would definitely be another uproar.

Originally, the two had a choice, and Nan Gongchang asked them to go to other places to practice, but they both chose to stay in the mansion in the end, and thus became the dead soldiers of the Shenyin mansion.

"Don't think about it, you are not allowed to go anywhere without my order in the future, did you hear me!" Nangong Xing glared at Shi Qi, she actually kept it from him for more than ten years, he would not let her off so easily!

Shiqi is also happy to be bullied by Nangong Xing, she only knows that she is the girl next to the young lady, let her become Princess Xichu, she really does not have the guts and courage to face all this.

Seventeen stayed, but just like what Nan Gongchang said, there would be a price for her staying. The survivors of Western Chu would not let her stay in the capital, after all, it was too dangerous.

Whether it is Nangongchang or the royal family of Jingguo, it is very dangerous for the Western Chu people. They will not let the future empress stay in the capital of Jingguo, and will definitely try their best to rescue them.

After Nan Gongxing coaxed Shi Qi to sleep, she didn't have time to rest, but wrote a letter for Tan Ying, who Huai Yunqian sent her, to send it over.

Although the Nangong family is powerful, Nangong Suqian reminded Wan not to use it until a critical moment, because that is the capital Nangongchang left for them to subvert everything.

When she was in Dingzhou, Nangong Xing had seen that mysterious team with her own eyes, and the more she was familiar with the battlefield, the more powerful she felt that team was.

The next day, when Nangong Xing and Shi Qi came to Huai Yunqian's house, Huai Yunqian looked at Shi Qi, and Shi Qi's pretty face turned red, hiding behind Nan Gong Xing and not daring to show her head.

"If you look at me again, I'll kick you out!" Nangong Xing guarded Shiqi behind him, and Huai Yunqian said: "I didn't expect that the princess that the Chu people kept talking about was really in the capital."

"You know they're looking for Shiqi?" Nan Gongxing narrowed his eyes slightly. It's really troublesome to say this. I'm afraid they will confront the survivors of Western Chu soon.

"How could it be possible not to know that they started looking for people in Jingguo a few years ago, and I also arrested many people, but I always thought they were talking nonsense and didn't take it to heart." Huai Yunqian said.

Shi Qi bit his lips tightly, Nangong Xing gave Huai Yun a shallow glance, and then he said: "Actually, there is no need to worry so much, they may not be able to find you, and the waiter in white has already been laid down, if there is any When survivors of Western Chu appear near the capital, they will report them as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shi Qi let out a sigh of relief, but was discovered by Nangong Xing, who ruthlessly ravaged her little face. Huai Yun smiled slightly when he saw this scene.

"By the way, is the matter in Liuzhou confirmed?" Nan Gongxing asked about this matter, and Huai Yun sighed lightly. The time interval was too long, and there were many things that could not be investigated.

"It's still being confirmed in Liuzhou, but I found some other things when I checked the secret files of the capital." Huai Yunqian narrowed his eyes slightly, and they found some clues in the old files of the white servant in the past few days.

"Mei Xunzhi? Who is he?" Nangong Xing was stunned when he heard the name, and Shi Qi beside him frowned: "I've heard of this name before, when I was still very young, the master mentioned it occasionally."

"Of course he will be mentioned. Mei Xunzhi was Prime Minister Zuo when the first emperor was in power. After resigning from his post, he was named 'Qingyinhou' and lived in Fenghuang Lane." Huai Yunqian said about Mei Xunzhi's situation.

Fenghuang Alley is a famous alley in the capital city, because the people who live here are all queens of the state, or are canonized marquises, so it is also the most noble alley.

Mei Xunzhi's ability to live in Fenghuang Lane shows that he has extremely high achievements, but Nan Gongxing is puzzled, why has she never heard of this person?
"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. Mei Xunzhi's daughter was the concubine of the late emperor, but she died more than ten years ago. Since then, Mei Xunzhi has been closed, and even the former students can't see him. .”

Nangong Xing nodded slightly, Huai Yunqian saw this and said: "I looked through the old files of the capital, and found that after my mother passed away, Mei Xunzhi suddenly announced that he would no longer interfere in world affairs."

"Do you suspect that the mysterious person my father mentioned is Mei Xunzhi?" Nangong Xing understood what he meant, Huai Yunqian nodded: "Mei Xunzhi has a very high status, if it is him, then everything makes sense .”

As the former prime minister of the left, Mei Xunzhi's disciples and old officials are all over the world, even the current Chi Baiyuan can hardly be said to be stronger than him.

You must know that Chi Baiyuan paid homage to the prime minister within ten years, but Mei Xunzhi sat firmly as the prime minister for 20 years. During this period, Jing Guo grew from him and began to launch a war to destroy the country.

If Nangong Chang hadn't caught up with him like a broken bamboo, no one would be able to shake Mei Xunzhi's position. As an official said, Nangong Chang's rise broke too many black hands.

"I let someone infiltrate Mei's mansion. During this period of time, the capital has changed dramatically. I don't believe that Mei Xunzhi will be able to sit still!" Huai Yunqian was half right.

The capital did change, but Mei Xunzhi didn't take it to heart. At this time, he was running a school in the mansion, teaching the children of poor families to learn classics and history.

Since resigning from office, he has opened this school, and he has never asked the students where they came from or received the cash. Some of the students taught in these years have been awarded Jinshi, and his reputation in Taixue is extremely loud.

Mei Xunzhi has already passed the seventy-sixth year, except for his white beard and hair, he is always happy and cheerful, so much so that the students all call him father and teacher.

No one would have imagined that this kind and polite old man in front of him once walked into the Golden Luan Hall with a coffin on his back, forcing the late emperor to summon Nan Gongchang to his official position, and won the battle of destroying the country under the pressure of the four parties.

Today's class was over, Mr. Mei and some students finished explaining the allusions, and began to pack up their books and prepare to leave, but the young man in the distance was always standing on the bridge, which made him feel very unpleasant.

"Master Mei, are you free to listen to Xiao Ke today?" The man asked with a deep bow when he saw Mei Xunzhi approaching.

"Let's talk about it." Mei Xunzhi still had a smile on his face, and the man said, "Recently, people in the capital are panicking. Surely Mrs. Mei can't just pretend nothing happened?"

"The old man has long since stopped asking about worldly affairs. Let me leave!" Mei Xunzhi cupped his hands and was about to leave, only to hear the man laugh and say, "Don't ask about worldly affairs? Then why bother to have someone intercept and kill the fourth prince, and put the responsibility on the empress?"

"How can you say that the old man did it?" Mei Xunzhi looked at him with a smile. The man understood that he just provided a candidate, and he didn't do anything else. How could it be said that he did it?
"My lord, for your daughter in the past, you forced the fourth prince's mother to death. Today, the fourth prince is in the limelight, so my lord really doesn't care at all?" The man threw out a thunderbolt.

The smile on Mei Xunzhi's face dissipated, leaving only a strong killing intent: "You know, I will kill anyone who knows this secret."

"Xiao Ke naturally knows, but forgive Xiao Ke for taking the liberty today, I stand in front of you, do you dare to touch me?" The man smiled wildly, threatening him in Mei Xunzhi's territory, I am afraid that such a thing can be done in the world Very few people.

"It's just the remnants of Xichu, if the old man doesn't cooperate with you, how can you become famous?" Mei Xun revealed the identity of the man in front of him.

"The younger generation didn't come here for other people, but just to find me, Princess Chu. Xi Chu has no intention of meddling in Jing's internal affairs." The man said lightly.

"Oh, I didn't expect Xichu to have the royal blood left behind, but the centipede is dead and not stiff." Mei Xunzhi said with a smile.

The man's face remained unchanged, the two were silent for a moment, Mei Xunzhi said, "Tell me, what is the reason for coming to this old man with the secret of the past?"

"We want to make a deal with the boss."

"how?"

"As long as the boss can cooperate with us to get rid of Nangongchang and let us welcome the princess back, we will naturally get rid of the fourth prince and the waiter in white."

"With just a few broken guns of yours, can you kill the waiter in white? I'm old, but I'm not confused!" Mei Xunzhi got up and was about to leave.

Suddenly a dagger brushed past him on the pillar beside him, Mei Xunzhi saw the content on it, and his face gradually became serious.

"Boss, can you believe in our ability now?"

"It's not easy to kill Nangongchang." Mei Xunzhi didn't complain, but stated a fact.

"Don't worry about this, my lord. As long as you get Nangong Changyu out of the mansion, we will have a solution. There is no need for your lord to do anything."

Mei Xunzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded at last, the man left quietly, Mei Xunzhi looked at the calm lake and let out a long sigh.

It's all because I was too greedy in the past, so I fell into such a trap. I didn't expect to be used by the enemy country again when I was old.

But he has been innocent all his life, so he can't go to see his ancestors with stains in the end, can he?

Nangongchang, oh Nangongchang, don't blame the old man for being cruel when you get down here.

The old man is also helpless!
