Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 247 Chips
With no one to disturb him, he can show off his majesty even more, and will definitely make the noble and unparalleled empress beg for mercy softly under him.

The more Xuanyuanzhen thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unbearable he became, and his pace quickened a lot.

At the same time, Pei Xiu led Pei Zhong and Jian Shisan to gallop in the dark night.

"Master Xiang, there is no way. Going further in this direction is the palace."

Pei Zhong spoke quickly, and Pei Xiu's long, slender black eyebrows were tightened, "That group of people is definitely not from the palace, and it is impossible to bring His Majesty back to the palace. This is the Xuanwu District where the princes, generals, and the highest dignitaries of the Great Zhou live. If Li Qing didn't lie to us, then the other party is hiding in a certain mansion in Xuanwu District, there must be some powerful people behind the person who dares to kidnap His Majesty."

"There are many residences of princes, counties, marquises, prime ministers and generals here. The guards of any residence are very strict, and most people dare not come here."

Pei Zhong said respectfully, "Did Xiangye make a mistake?"

"Could the person who dared to kidnap the queen be an ordinary person?"

Pei Xiu's eyes flickered, "They dare not go out of the city. The four major city gates are full of real people, and it is easy to leak their traces, especially now that it is late at night, and the city gates have been closed. Without the warrant of the real person, the city gate officials dare not go out." Open the door, and they won't be able to leave the city."

"You can't go out of the city, you can only stay in the city. Where is the safest place? The place that is the most unexpected and dare not go is the safest."

Pei Xiu's eyes were shining brightly, "Except for the palace, this is the Xuanwu District!"

Pei Zhong's face changed again and again, "Which prince does Xiang Ye suspect is the trick? Could it be the King of Jiangdong?"

Pei Xiu shook his head, "No! The King of Jiangdong didn't need to take the Queen away, and it's useless to take her away. Besides, the spies secretly reported that the King of Jiangdong had just returned to Jiangdong not long ago, and everything was as usual. , and all stayed in Jiangdong. If the queen he took away, he must have secretly moved the army to the outside of the imperial capital. When the queen disappeared, he would attack the city forcibly. Only in this way can he seize the opportunity. When he is transferred back, and part of the general's army is transferred back, and King Qin's division rushes to the imperial capital, he will have no chance."

"It's not him? Who else can it be? Others don't have such great skills!"

Pei Xiu murmured, "Yeah, even he is not so capable, this is the capital of the emperor, at the foot of the emperor."

"So, it has nothing to do with those princes?"

"Of course it's irrelevant. If they had this ability, they wouldn't have been placed on the dragon chair by the late emperor."

"Who else could that be?"

"Maybe someone we don't know, and has nothing to do with the court."

Pei Xiu jumped up and landed on the roof of a house, looking around the entire Xuanwu District, not far away was the imperial palace, the night was vast, and the imperial palace was shrouded in the darkness, making it blurry.

Jian Shisan landed beside him, and asked in a low voice, "What is Xiangye looking at?"

Pei Xiu didn't speak, and suddenly pointed in a direction and asked, "Pei Zhong, whose house is that? I just saw a light flickering in that house and then went out."

Pei Zhong couldn't come up, Jian Shisan flew down and brought him up, Pei Zhong looked carefully for a while, "That house was originally the house of a certain general in Taizu's time, and later the general was deprived of power and beheaded , the house was also copied, and then the house changed hands of many people, and finally it seemed that a wealthy businessman from the north bought it, but the owner never appeared, and there were no servants to guard the house, it was like an abandoned house. "

Pei Xiu sneered, "Spend so much money to buy a house, but don't let people clean the courtyard, maintain the doors, windows and walls, and let the house wait to be abandoned? Even if you have money, it's not such a waste! There must be something wrong!"

Pei Xiu jumped up and quickly flew towards the house, Jian Shisan quickly followed.

After a few ups and downs, Pei Xiu lightly landed on the wall of the house.

Before his feet touched the wall, several long swords stabbed out from the side, the swords were fierce and flashing.

Pei Xiu's pupils shrank, and he drew out the soft sword at his waist to fight.

As soon as they fought, Jian Shisan arrived and quickly untied Pei Xiu's siege. Pei Xiu saw a man in black running quickly to the backyard, who seemed to be reporting a message, and immediately chased after him with his sword.

The other dark guards also arrived, entangled with the man in black.

As soon as Xuanyuanzhen came to the courtyard where the secret room was with Feng Jin in his arms, he saw a subordinate rushing towards him. Xuanyuanzhen's face suddenly became ugly, and he shouted sharply, "Who allowed you to come here?"

"Young master is bad, Prime Minister Pei is here!"

Xuanyuanzhen's expression changed, and just as he was about to run away with Feng Jin in his arms, he saw that subordinate suddenly straightened up, a long sword pierced through his chest, and the tip of the sword was dripping with blood.

The long sword was drawn back, and his men fell heavily to the ground. Pei Xiu saw Feng Jin in Xuanyuanzhen's hand, and his expression was overjoyed. Just as he was about to go to save someone, Xuanyuanzhen made a sudden move, and a dagger with a cold light was pressed against Fengjin's neck. "Don't come here! If you dare to come here, I'll cut her throat!"

In order to intimidate Pei Xiu, Xuanyuanzhen's subordinates exerted a little force, and a bloodstain immediately overflowed Feng Jin's neck, and blood flowed out.

Pei Xiu's face changed, and he stopped abruptly, "Who are you? Why did you take His Majesty away?"

"Don't worry about who I am? Prime Minister Pei, the disappearance of the queen is a great thing for you. Why do you want to stop me?"

The light in Pei Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said coldly, "I really don't understand what you mean."

"Pei Xiang, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. There is no point in hiding it. I only want this woman, and I don't care about the rest. The queen was taken away by traitors. You, the number one minister of the Great Zhou, can immediately Wouldn’t it be better for the other pawn to be the new emperor? Anyway, the empress has already disobeyed you and tried every means to fight against you.”

Pei Xiu didn't say a word, and stared straight at Feng Jin in Xuanyuan Zhen's hand. Feng Jin's eyes were closed tightly, her face was as pale as paper, she had already passed out, even though she was cut by Xuanyuan Zhen's dagger, she still didn't wake up .

"You don't need to do it yourself, you can solve the serious problem of your confidant. This is a good thing that fell from the sky. If I were Pei Xiang, I would not only not stop, but also secretly help. Pei Xiang, are you right?"

Pei Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he had to say that this man's proposal really moved his heart.

He looked at Xuanyuanzhen carefully, Xuanyuanzhen was handsome and dressed luxuriously and exquisitely, but there were some blue shadows in his eyes, and he looked a little sluggish, it seemed that he was exhausted, like those men who often hang out in brothels all night.

I don't know if it's Pei Xiu's illusion, aside from temperament, but in terms of appearance alone, this person is somewhat similar to Wuming.

"Pei Xiang, what do you think of my suggestion? Please give me an accurate word, otherwise, I will be impatient."

As Xuanyuanzhen said, he exerted more force on his hands, and blood flowed down, soaking Feng Jin's lapel.

The light in Pei Xiu's eyes darkened. At this time, Jian Shisan and his guards had already dealt with the men in black, followed him, and whispered in Pei Xiu's ear, "Master Xiang, those people are all dead!" gone."

"No life left?"

Jian Shisan shook his head, "Those who wanted to survive, all of them bit the poison sac under their teeth and killed themselves."

This method of death is very familiar!That's how the dead soldiers of Dayan Hall who assassinated the Queen in Meiyuan died in the same way!
Pei Xiu's eyes froze, and his sharp and deep eyes swept over Xuanyuan Zhen's whole body, "Young master? Young master of Dayan Hall? Xuanyuan Miao's grandson? Xuanyuan Hao's son Xuanyuan Zhen?"

Xuanyuanzhen's face changed, "How do you know?"

That's it!

No wonder Wuming and the Queen were caught in an ambush, so many hidden guards were all dead, I am afraid that the people in Dayan Hall have been watching the Queen's every move, and the Queen has fallen into their trap as soon as she leaves the palace.

Just tonight, why is the empress going to the Meridian Gate?
Also, why does Wuming look so similar to Xuanyuanzhen?What is his relationship with the Xuanyuan clan?
Pei Xiu has many questions in his mind, but the biggest question is——

"Why did you, Dayan Hall, want to kidnap the queen?"

Xuanyuanzhen's eyes flickered, "Don't worry about it, anyway, Dayan Hall has helped you a lot this time, Prime Minister Pei, anyway, you have already chosen a new chess piece, and you want to get rid of the queen. If we do this, it is equivalent to Here is a big gift for you, just accept it happily!"

At this time, Pei Zhong also followed, just hearing this, walked up to Pei Xiu, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Master Xiang, this person is right, and he is indeed a very good person now." If the timing is right, the Prime Minister can also use the excuse of the queen's disappearance to reduce the military power in the general's hands, and take the opportunity to control part of his troops in order to find the queen."

Pei Xiu's complexion kept changing, his eyes were floating, sinking, flickering, and he was silent all the time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Pei Zhong was a little impatient, "Master Xiang, I missed this opportunity. The Empress has taken precautions. There won't be such a good opportunity next time. Please think again, Master Xiang."

Pei Zhong has been with Pei Xiu for many years, but he couldn't see that he didn't want to take the opportunity to get rid of the queen at all, so he hesitated all the time.

In terms of Master Xiang's decision to kill, such a good opportunity, needless to say by Xuanyuan Zhen, would take the initiative to push the Queen to Dayan Tang.

With such a good target like Dayan Hall, Master Xiang can seize power as much as he wants and reduce the general's military power.

Even if Zhong Mo's military power can only be cut by a quarter, Xiang Ye can be said to be the No. 1 in the Great Zhou, and no one can compete with him.

"Master Xiang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Master Xiang, don't hesitate any longer."

Pei Zhongyu said earnestly, and Jian Shisan also persuaded in a low voice, "Master, Mr. Pei is right, the opportunity is rare, don't hesitate any longer."

Seeing that Pei Xiu still didn't speak, Pei Zhong became anxious and impulsively said, "Master Xiang, isn't she just a woman..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Zhong was kicked and flew out, and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuanzhen rolled his eyes. His subordinates were all dead, and he only had the empress as a bargaining chip in his hand. Man, he would never let go, but the price can be discussed again.

"Pei Xiang also likes her? It seems that I have the same taste as Pei Xiang. This is fate. I can promise Pei Xiang that I will take her away tonight and return her completely within three days. Look, Pei Xiang how?"

Pei Xiu said nothing.

Xuanyuan Zhen gritted his teeth, "How about those two days?"

Pei Xiu was still silent, his eyes were deep and heavy, no one could see his thoughts.

Xuanyuanzhen's face changed again and again, "One day! It can't be shorter! You must be clear, Mr. Pei, she is my bargaining chip for survival, and I won't give her back to you now!"

Pei Xiu took a deep look at Xuanyuanzhen, and opened his mouth slowly. Just as he was about to say the word 'good', an accident happened suddenly.
