When Zheng Zhuo invited Yuan Cixian, of course, hello to this fiancé in advance, which also explained the reason and location. Lu Shiqing agreed very generously yesterday, and there was nothing unusual.

But Zheng Zhuo still underestimated this man's ability to keep his soul away. At the moment, Lu Shiqing probably secretly used some tricks to tell Dachao to leave early, and then flew over.

Looking at the calm steps of "Xu Shan" at this moment, Zheng Zhuo sneered in his heart, and had to cover up for him, "I asked Mr. Xu to come with me."

Yuan Cixian withdrew her gaze and couldn't help but look tight: "Is there something big?"

Otherwise, why would the three of them meet suddenly? There was no such pomp before.

Zheng Zhuo nodded: "It's about the King of Southern Yunnan, but Mr. Xu and I discussed a solution overnight yesterday. We invite you to come today. One is to ask you to relax, and the other is to want to talk to you about the follow-up."

While the two of them were talking, Lu Shiqing had already arrived at the Shiting Pavilion. But when Yuan Cixian heard that it was related to her father, she had no intention of greeting him. She nodded slightly to him and asked Zheng Zhuo urgently: "Did Jiang Bican come to my father?"

Lu Shiqing's polite "county lord" immediately choked on his lips.

Okay, if you don’t say hello, don’t fight. Anyway, it’s useless to fight Xu Shan.

He sighed in his heart and found the other pavilion with the rocks on his back.

The edge of the cliff was too dangerous. He didn't want to wait a while to see Yuan Cixian and Zheng Zhuo's eyebrows and frown, and he fell into anger.

Zheng Zhuo looked at him, feeling amused and cried. He took Yuan Cixian's words and explained: "The little lady from the Jiang family came yesterday. After the Jiang family declined, Jiang Siqing entrusted her to the third brother, hoping that the third brother would take care of his daughter if he had no credit and had hard work."

This "third brother" refers to Pingwang.

After the Lingnan Iron Mine was exposed, although Emperor Huining had no conclusive evidence, he knew in his heart that Jiang Min was planning for King Ping, so even if he could not touch King Ping, he would definitely eradicate the Jiang family, giving him a warning, and on the other hand, he would break his wings.

King Ping originally ended this matter very well, but he didn't expect that Yuan Cixian, who had dreamed incisively, had a sudden incident, and had no choice but to suffer this secret loss and did not try to protect the Jiang family, so as not to get angry with Emperor Huining.

In other words, King Ping actually gave up on the Jiang family. So the so-called "care for" Jiang Bican may not be literally "care for". Zheng Zhuo just said it a little implicitly.

Yuan Cixian nodded to express her understanding.

Lu Shiqing glanced at her. She seemed to have always understood this kind of thing.

Zheng Zhuo continued: "She admitted that the Jiang family was indeed planning for the third brother before, but after her father was imprisoned, she had the opportunity to expose my involvement with General Yuan to the saint, but she did not do that. In fact, it was to prevent the third brother from being unkind one day and she would lose her reliance, so she was unwilling to tear her face completely with me."

Yuan Cixian pulled the corners of her mouth. Such a whole story sounded reasonable. Jiang Bican was also aware of the current affairs and knew that being a fool was useless at the moment, and being honest would not be easily disliked.

"She said that she obeyed her father at first, and also wanted to seek a shelter, but her third brother was extremely cold. She couldn't stand the humiliation, so she wanted to ask for my protection. While the third brother went out, she secretly obtained an invitation from the Liushang Banquet and sneaked in. She said that she had no intention and incompetence to ask the Jiang family to make a comeback, and did not ask that I would allow her to stay in Chang'an. But now she has no way to escape, hoping that I could help her leave her third brother and arrange for her to have a safe place, even if she was going to the exile to endure hardships."

Just listening to Zheng Zhuo’s retelling, Yuan Cixian could imagine how many tears came to tears during Jiang Bican’s self-report.

She raised her eyelids and asked, "His highness agree?"

"No at first." Zheng Zhuo said, "This request seems simple, but it is not. It's nothing for me to help a little lady who is wandering on the street at will, but since she is already a member of the third brother, if I interfere, I will treat the third brother as if nothing is needed and openly oppose him."

"She saw that I didn't respond, so she proposed a condition of exchange, saying that she had a message about the recent plan of the third brother. As long as she left the city safely, she would reveal it to me. Therefore, I will make this matter for the time being and send her out of the city. I will prepare to make plans after getting the news depending on the situation."

No wonder Zheng Zhuo did not explain the details in the note yesterday. It was not only because of the time, but because he did not find out the details. Yuan Cixian frowned and asked, "This news is related to my father?"

Zheng Zhuo nodded: "The note she left stated that the third brother is organizing an assassination recently, preparing to stop the King of Southern Yunnan and the Princess on his way back."

Yuan Cixian choked in her throat and blinked three stiffly. However, because she remembered what Zheng Zhuo said at the beginning, she had discussed countermeasures with Xu Shan overnight, so she restrained her impatient mood and asked calmly: "Is the news accurate?"

"Before I got the news, Miss Jiang was silenced, and no one I sent to send her out of the city would live. The note was discovered by her sleeve when I was taking care of her body afterwards. It should be that she was going to leave it to my subordinates after she was ready to leave it."

Yuan Cixian frowned deeply: "Your Highness means that Jiang Bican was silenced by King Ping, who was exposed to his worries. But King Ping didn't expect that she had another move. If it weren't for a coincidence, you might not have found this note... So, isn't this fake news she deliberately sent to her door?"

Lu Shiqing coughed softly when he heard this to remind him. At this point, the conversation has passed the part of Zheng Zhuo’s narrative. The next exciting analysis is his turn.

Zheng Zhuo looked at him helplessly and said, "My first reaction is the same as that of the county magistrate, but after careful discussion with Mr. Xu, I felt that this might not be the case."

Lu Shiqing finally succeeded in taking the conversation when Yuan Cixian looked at him and said seriously: "There are three possibilities for this matter. One is what the county lord and His Highness originally thought. But if the whole link is reversed - how could Mrs. Jiang eavesdrop on the plan so coincidental, how could she get the opportunity to get into the Liushang Banquet so coincidental, and how could she play the role of conveying messages after her death? Too many coincidences, it is probably not a coincidence."

Yuan Cixian nodded and agreed very much: "What sir said is good."

Seeing that there seemed to be a flash of admiration in her eyes, Lu Shiqing was secretly proud, but he thought that although he had avoided Zheng Zhuo's chance to show off, he was not adding color to himself, and he couldn't help sighing again.

It's so tiring to be a person with a secret.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yuan Cixian had to ask: "The other two possibilities that Mr. said, maybe this is the case? The first is that King Ping deliberately asked Jiang Bican to overhear the plan and touched the prince's mansion, with the purpose of revealing the news to Your Highness. The second is similar to the first, but it is not that Jiang Bican was unilaterally deceived, but that she did this by King Ping's instructions. After the Tao is completed, he will trust him, but unexpectedly he will be killed by the donkey."

Lu Shiqing nodded: "The county lord is smart."

After he finished speaking, his throat felt like he was stabbed by a needle. He thought she was smart and could use Lu Shiqing's mouth to say it, alas.

Yuan Cixian no longer looked at him and looked at Zheng Zhuo worriedly: "Although what Mr. Xu said is not unreasonable, and may even be closer to the truth, I cannot bet on my father and mother's life and do nothing. What does Your Highness think?"

Zheng Zhuo glanced at Lu Shiqing and signaled that he had to answer when asked, rather than not being ignorant, and then said, "I'm afraid this is the purpose of the third brother. Even if the truth is as Mr. Xu speculated, as long as the King of Southern Yunnan and the Princess were in one-ten thousand danger, we would not be able to sit and wait for death. However, once we take precautions, we may fall into his trap."

He said this and said, "But don't worry, I won't take risks with them. Although the note did not clearly state the time of the third brother's plan, the King of Southern Yunnan was still in the northern part of Jiannan Road, which was densely populated by prefectures and counties. It is absolutely not suitable to do a lot of action at this moment, so we still have room for maneuver."

Yuan Cixian said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding your feelings as a child." After saying that, he looked at Lu Shiqing again, "So, sir, have you made a countermeasure?"

Lu Shiqing's expression behind the mask was a little unhappy.

Oh, when you want to make a decision, look at Zheng Zhuo, and when you have to ask for countermeasures, she just wants to use his brain, right?

He silently said, "If you want to break the deadlock, you must first see where the person who sets the stall is. King Ping's ultimate goal is always His Highness. Dealing with the King of Southern Yunnan is like dealing with other hidden stakes arranged by His Highness in the court, just a link in the middle. King Ping was unable to gain the holy heart because of his great situation and restlessness. No matter how many spies were, he could not convince the saints, but he would not be able to persuade the saints for no reason. So even if he had known that General Yuan was close to the palace, he would still remain silent until this situation was set up."

"This situation is not to kill the King of Southern Yunnan, but to find two pieces of evidence, one is to prove that he may rebel, and the other is to prove that he is involved with His Highness. In this way, the crime of rebellion can be taken on His Highness, which is the so-called method of killing all in one go."

Yuan Cixian nodded: "The second one is indeed feasible. King Ping's plan was told to Your Highness by Jiang Bican. If the news finally came to my father's hands, it would prove that the prince secretly reported the letter. But the first one..." She frowned and looked at the two of them, "My father has no intention of rebellion. How can King Ping prove this in a black and white way?"

Lu Shiqing sighed in his heart. King Ping actually wanted to force Yuan Yi to use the private army at a loss, and then captured this handle and showed it to the saints. After all, private army and rebellion are the same thing in the eyes of the superiors.

But Yuan Cixian was completely unaware of his father's secret support for the private army, and he could not tell her due to Yuan Yizhi's previous explanation that he asked him to hide.

He had no choice but to say: "Maybe King Ping suspected that the King of Southern Dian had privately raised dead soldiers or troops, so he wanted to give it a try."

Yuan Cixian nodded thoughtfully. Although he felt that King Ping's mentality and guesses were reasonable, his father would not be caught without a private army. He had to set up a bureau so much, but to prove that something that might not exist was too hasty?

She always feels something is wrong.

Lu Shiqing was afraid that she would think deeply and guess the truth, so he changed his words and said, "In response to the intention of King Ping's establishment, Xu had discussed a few countermeasures with His Highness last night."

Yuan Cixian was really distracted: "What do you think sir?"

"This is an open conspiracy. The way to solve the open conspiracy lies in the situation. Since it is not the best time for Ping Wang to take action, it is the best time for us to take action."

Yuan Cixian felt something and said in surprise: "Sir, it is not appropriate for King Ping to take action now. Let's create an assassination before him and turn passive into active?"

What should she do if she always has such a tacit understanding with "Xu Shan".

Lu Shiqing nodded unhappily and said, "That's right. Xu's idea was that His Highness quietly arranged a group of assassins to 'assassinate' the King of Southern Yunnan before King Ping. The northern prefectures and counties in Jiannan Road were densely packed. Once the King of Southern Yunnan was "assassinated", he would be able to be taken care of by all directions and would be alarmed by the court. The saint was not afraid of the King of Southern Yunnan to the point of taking his life. When encountering such a thing, it was impossible not to do superficial skills and would definitely send people to escort them."

Yuan Cixian's anxiety disappeared and said in surprise: "In this way, there is no need to take the risk of reporting to my father. I remind him to be careful, so that I will naturally avoid being caught by King Ping to get in contact with the Yuan family. And with the order of the saint, the support from all counties and counties can protect my father. Next, it will be difficult for King Ping to succeed."

Lu Shiqing nodded. More importantly, Yuan Yizhi would not be forced into a desperate situation, and even used his private army.

Yuan Cixian smiled: "Sir, it's so amazing..." She paused when she said this.

Zheng Zhuo and Lu Shiqing both asked questions and looked at her.

She originally wanted to say that it was just as good as Lu Shiqing. But the problem was that Lu Shiqing had borrowed some secrets for helping her expose the Jiang family before, and did not show up in person, so in the eyes of the saint and the princes and court officials such as Zheng Zhuo, this matter had nothing to do with him. Now she suddenly said this, which inevitably made the two of them feel suspicious.

Although she did not completely confess Zheng Zhuo's incident to Lu Shiqing, it was impossible for her to tell outsiders his private actions.

So she laughed dryly and continued: "I admire you so much!"

The eyebrows behind Lu Shiqing's mask trembled.

Promise? Did she know what position she was like?

Zheng Zhuo coughed dryly, as if he smelled the sourness spreading around him, and hurriedly smoothed out: "Mr. Xu's method is feasible, but the assassins I sent must take it seriously to fight with the King of Southern Dian, otherwise it will not be enough to win the trust of others. The sword has no eyes. In order to avoid accidental injury, I hope to get some advice from the county magistrate to ensure that the King of Southern Dian understands the cause and consequences in the shortest time, so that he can cooperate with me to do the show."

This is what Zheng Zhuo just said, and he would like to communicate with Yuan Cixian.

She nodded: "This is not difficult. I will tell you a few words. I think my father will soon guess that the assassin is a friend."

After Yuan Cixian finished giving the explanation, the meeting ended. Before the break, Zheng Zhuo got up and asked her: "The county lord came to the appointment, so Mr. Lu may not know about it?"

Lu Shiqing's neck was always on the side. Although he knew that Zheng Zhuo was provoking trouble, he was really curious about Yuan Cixian's answer. After a while, he saw her smiling and said, "I don't know. He is very stingy. It's not a big deal to know about it."

Zheng Zhuoxing gloated and looked at Lu Shiqing, who was obviously already dark, and asked again: "Today's Flower Festival, don't you go out for a trip with him?"

"Come on." Yuan Cixian curled his lips, "I'll ask him to step on the mud later, and he thought it was dirty. Seeing the wild flowers, he had to ask them to be symmetrical. This is not a problem for forced flowers, so there is no interest in going outings!"

Zheng Zhuo laughed.

Lu Shiqing really wanted to beat him up. She dared to laugh so arrogantly while sitting on the edge of the cliff, and she was not afraid of falling down.

Yuan Cixian sighed, her fiancé was such a disappointing person.

She sighed and was about to say goodbye to the two of them, but saw Zheng Zhuo stand up first: "I still have something important to do, so I must take a step forward. I'm afraid I will trouble the county lord and the gentleman to wait."

In order to cover up, the three of them should leave the mountain. Originally, Yuan Cixian wanted to leave first to avoid being alone with one of them, but since Zheng Zhuo said that, she had no choice but to nod and said, "No, your highness should go and do it first."

Lu Shiqing felt a little more comfortable now, and glanced at Zheng Zhuo with a look, indicating how fast he could walk as fast as he could.

Zheng Zhuo laughed in his heart, and before leaving, he added to Yuan Cixian: "Since the county lord feels that it is better to walk around with Mr. Xu. He told me a few days ago that he lacked someone to go to the spring together."

He left after finishing his work, leaving Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing to look at each other in a row.

*

After a stick of incense, the two of them left the stone pavilion side by side and wandered into the mountains.

Yuan Cixian was a little embarrassed. Originally, Zheng Zhuo didn't say that much, so she must have gone home. Now out of politeness, she couldn't help asking Xu Shan to see if he was interested in spring.

After all, he used to be a person who was passionate about traveling. Now in this strange Chang'an, in order to hide his identity, he rarely had the chance to come out openly. It was normal for someone to walk around and take a look. And he happened to help her a lot today. If she didn't even ask a question, it would be obvious that she couldn't say anything.
