At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 437: Qingzhou Hou's Defense
The heavy gate behind him closed, and two brave cavalry soldiers, holding spears and swords on their waists, stood at the gate like door gods.

"Master Hou."

The pretty maid was waiting early, wrapped in a white coat, leading the way, "Follow me."

In the courtyard, even though it was snowing heavily, there was little snow on the bluestone path. Only the green bamboos and ancient trees were bent by the accumulated snow, and the tips of the thinner bamboos were almost touching the ground.

Walking along the path, covered with flying snow, through the deep bamboo forest, past the front hall, looking up, you will see the pavilions with flying eaves and pointed corners.

The ancient courtyard seems quiet and mysterious amid the howling wind and snow.

The specially renovated courtyard at Xiliang Post Station, although not exquisite and elegant with pavilions and gardens, is also simple and orderly.

Few outsiders live in the courtyard.

The maid led the two to the reception hall, and other maids brought them hot tea.

"Madam, the master."

She left the hall and went to the backyard to report, "The Marquis of Qingzhou is already waiting in front.

"understood."

Inside the house, Dayuer straightened her clothes. She and her children left the house together and went to the lobby. When they were near the corner, the smile on Dayuer's face disappeared and turned into a cold look.

In the hall.

Lu Yun paced back and forth, looking around, while Qingzhou Hou sat upright with his eyes closed, resting.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?"

After waiting for a while, Lu Yun became a little annoyed.

"No hurries?"

Qingzhou Hou said calmly: "It will take a few days to wait. It won't hurt to wait for a little while."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a joking voice coming from the corridor in the distance, "My Lord, you are really patient."

"It's you."

The Marquis of Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes with a gloomy face. He turned his head and saw Dayuer walking towards him with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, followed by Dayueer.

"it's me."

Dayuer entered the hall with a cold face.

"Have you thought of a good excuse, my Lord?"

Dayuer spoke calmly, sat down in the main seat, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "After all, it has been quite some time since I entered the city."

"What does the king need to explain?"

The Qingzhou Marquis's complexion returned to normal.

"The Xiliang Envoy."

Lu Yun cupped his hands and said, "The mastermind of the assassination has been found. It was none other than Wang Chenguang, the Sima of Qingzhou City. He colluded with the traitors and planned this assassination with the help of both insiders and outsiders."

"The principal offender, Wang Chenguang, has been executed. His head is outside and can be inspected at any time. There are 123 other accomplices, all in prison and being strictly interrogated."

"A mere Sima dared to attack this envoy. He could arrange hundreds of elite assassins to lurk on the road he had to pass through, and even mobilize the masters of the three sects and a great master of the celestial realm."

"Do you think I would believe it?"

Dayuer shook her head.

The former Marquis of Qingzhou, a world-famous beauty, has now become an envoy from Xiliang, and has personally tortured the Marquis of Qingzhou.

The canary that was once kept in captivity was now standing in front of him in a high and mighty manner. The old fox felt mixed emotions.

"Xiao Han, did you really calculate that I wouldn't dare to turn hostile?"

Qingzhou Hou said in his heart.

Dare?

He asked himself silently.

dare not.

It is even more impossible.

"My Lord, you still think that the eleven states of Xiliang, five hundred thousand cavalry, and your reputation are only worth the head of a Sima."

Dayuer looked at Qingzhou Hou and spoke word by word. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a cold light and a hint of murderous intent.

"What is pure will become clear by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid by itself."

The Marquis of Qingzhou said, "This king is indeed unaware of the assassination, and the world knows that this king and the King of Xiliang are close friends, and Qingzhou and Xiliang are allies who stand together through thick and thin."

"I have no reason to assassinate you."

"not enough."

Dayuer shook her head.

"Master Hou."

Dayue'er, who had been silent the whole time, said, "If this is all you give us, we won't be able to explain to you when we return."

Lu Yun glanced at the Qingzhou Marquis, who nodded slightly. After getting permission, Lu Yun took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "Master, this letter contains the confessions we have received in the past few days."

"Although we haven't found out all the identities of the assassins involved in the assassination, we still found some clues."

Several of them were masters recruited by Hulong Villa back then. Later, Zhu Wusi died at the hands of King Xiliang, and these people disappeared.”

"Master Lu means that this assassination came from the capital?"

Dayuer exclaimed softly, then picked up the letter and looked at it. After a moment, her brows furrowed.

"Exactly."

Lu Yun nodded: This is a plot to sow discord, please be careful and don't fall into it.

"But I heard some rumors recently that are completely contrary to what Lu Zhubu said."

Dayuer said nonchalantly without even looking up, "Some people say that the Marquis has secretly surrendered to the imperial court, and this assassination is the Marquis's token of surrender to the capital."

"fart."

The Marquis of Qingzhou was furious. He slapped the tea table, and even the cup shook. "Which traitor is framing me?"

Lu Yun hurriedly said, "This is clearly a fabricated story. Please do not listen to the instigation of these villains and treacherous people."

"really?"

Dayuer raised her lips slightly, "I think it's true. Otherwise, with the Marquis's ability, how could he be completely unaware of the assassination? Not only did he not know, but the Cavalry had already repelled the assassin, and the Qingzhou soldiers arrived late. Moreover, several days have passed, and the real murderer has not been found."

It was just some insignificant Sima who came out to take the blame."

"The heteronyms can be considered coincidences, but if they happen every time, then it is definitely not a coincidence."

She sneered, "Or is it that the Marquis is such a fool?"

"you."

The Marquis of Qingzhou was furious and stared at her.

"Master Hou."

Dayueer narrowed her eyes. "When I was at Shuiyun Mountain, I also heard someone say that the Marquis was flirting with the imperial court."

"This is slander."

The Marquis of Qingzhou sat down dejectedly, unaware that the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.

He could ignore what Dayuer said, but he couldn't ignore what Dayueer said.

The whole world knows that most of the time, what Dayueer says and does represents the will of the man behind her, King Xiao Han of Xiliang.

It was obvious that Shui Yunshan was criticizing himself through Dayueer's mouth.

"Shi Xiao."

Dayuer said, "Go and get the things, and let the Qingzhou Marquis take a good look at them."

"promise."

Soon, the confession obtained by the Embroidered Uniform Guard was presented to the Marquis of Qingzhou. Just a casual glance at it was enough to cause a storm of shock in the heart of the Qingzhou overlord.

This is a confession, part of which came from spies planted by the imperial court in the Qingzhou Marquis' Mansion. It was these people who assisted hundreds of assassins in hiding, and their status in the Qingzhou Marquis' Mansion was not low.

There are also a few people under the command of Qingzhou Hou who are responsible for contacting the capital.

All the confessions pointed to him.
