The night was dark and the wind was high. In the official residence of the governor of Yanzhou, Zhou Huai, who had driven all day and went to a dinner party, just fell asleep after washing, suddenly a black shadow flashed by, and a man in black was kneeling in front of the bed, with his hands Holding a wooden box, after Zhou Huai sat up, he bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Master, I have the evidence."

"Well, well done."

"It is Linghu Ji's honor to serve the master."

"Get up." After Zhou Huai finished speaking, he had already put on his wooden clogs, put on his robe, took the evidence, and sat by the window to directly look through it under the dim light of the lantern on the outer corridor.

Linghu Ji didn't get up, but instead said with shame: "That arrow shot by my subordinate..."

"Oh, you did a good job, I was almost fooled by you." Zhou Huai waved his hand, motioned him to stand up again, and then asked casually: "How does it feel to be a gangster this time? It's much more masculine now."

Linghu Ji, who was dressed in black but had returned to his original appearance.Beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, slender and soft like a woman, her body shape is the complete opposite of the bearded brawny man.Hearing Zhou Huai's ridicule, Linghu Ji glanced at Zhou Huai who was leaning against the window and looking at the boundless night, his ears were a little red, but his body was still tense, his face was serious, and he asked in a businesslike manner: "Master, are you a traitor?" It has been confirmed clearly, should we eradicate it immediately?"

Based on the evidence in his hand, Zhou Huai tapped his palms twice, grinning coldly: "Treaters, we can't let them die too cheaply, or it will be too boring. I will handle this matter myself." After Zhou Huai finished speaking, he looked at Ling Hu Ji said: "There is another matter for you to handle. Last time the eldest princess hurriedly transferred a large amount of silver from the bank, and found something interesting. I also sent someone to check the account book, the account book It’s pretty flat and beautiful, and if you want to investigate further, it involves too much, and it may take time and effort to find out anything. I don’t accept killing a few scapegoats to settle the matter, so I leave this matter to you, and bring the previous ones. The 'captives' who have turned from light to dark, let the group of moths see what it means to eat black and eat black, and don't need to clean them all up, just let them spit out everything they eat."

"Still using the name Thirteen Village Bandits?"

"No, in the name of the righteous men of the green forest. Let's say that Master Huai used the name of suppressing bandits to kill innocent people indiscriminately. You pay blood for blood, and you want to take revenge on all those who are in power in the Huai family."

"This..." Linghu Ji was a little puzzled and wanted to ask why, but he opened his mouth and closed it again.

Although Zhou Huai had excellent soldiers and horses at that time, he fought more and fought less, but those gangsters were all desperate. How could it be possible to break through the gate of the village and defeat the gangsters to end the battle in only ten hours?It's so easy, so the officers and soldiers in Yanzhou are all free rice?Of course all this was premeditated!

Before Zhou Huai received Liao Qiwei's letter, the people sent by Zhou Hao had already killed the leader and seized power, and contacted Liao Qiwei to surrender. If Zhou Huai was fooled once, then Zhou Hao would be [-]% sure that he would be able to send those "recruiting" gangsters into Zhou Huai's army, and sell them well in front of Liao Qiwei, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It's a pity that Zhou Huai was well-informed, so he directly followed his plan and sent Linghu Ji over there, to cooperate with the inside and outside, and catch them all in one go.Now that it has been exposed, let Linghu Ji lead the 'captives' who have been removed from the spies from the light to the dark, and hide in the dark. It is simple and rough, and it is much easier than cleaning up one by one after the surrender.

Zhou Huai didn't mean to explain, but just told him: "Then leave the remaining hundreds of people to you, you must practice hard, and they will be of great use in the future."

Linghu Ji nodded solemnly and didn't bother much. He was about to retreat and leave, but he heard Cao Za's voice and fire not far away. Someone was still running and shouting 'walking water' and 'assassin'.

Zhou Huai looked at that direction, only came and waved Linghu Ji to leave, and immediately ran towards that direction.

Linghu silently watched Zhou Huai, who was guarded by a group of 12 feather guards, and was heading towards the courtyard where the eldest princess lived like a stream of fire, until the figure of the other party disappeared into the night with the swaying lanterns. He quietly disappeared again.

"How are you?" Zhou Huai saw the eldest princess immediately in the chaos. Although he had confirmed that she was not injured at the first time, he still asked worriedly.

Except for the slightly messy hair, the eldest princess is neatly dressed and has a calmer demeanor than Zhou Huai.Glancing at Zhou Huai who was running over in a hurry, he said unhurriedly, "It's okay. A thief got in, and the guards came across a candle when they were fighting with him. The sky was dry and things were dry, and they lit up immediately."

"It's so late, you haven't slept yet?" Zhou Huai not only found that the eldest princess was still wearing the clothes for the dinner, but even saw Xiao Yu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, reappeared beside the eldest princess.

"I'm discussing something with Mr. Xiao." When the eldest princess said, her tone was a little low, with tired eyes.

Zhou Huai took her hand, held her back with a strong attitude, but said in a discussing tone: "Although the fire is extinguished, it is not easy to live in. Don't bother too much late at night, it is better to go directly Let me rest then."

The Eldest Princess seemed to be preoccupied, and there was a little bit of twitch between her brows. Seeing Zhou Huai's expression was complicated and incomprehensible, she didn't say much after hearing the words, and walked side by side with Zhou Huai until they returned to Zhou Huai's bedroom. The two of them rewashed and lay on the bed, but neither fell asleep.

There was a glazed lamp burning in the house, and the light was dim.On the big carved bed, the eldest princess huddled in the inner room, far away from Zhou Huai, and two more people could lie down between them.

Zhou Huai rested his head on his arms and stared at the eldest princess in a leisurely manner.

The eldest princess changed from lying flat to her back to Zhou Huai and still felt Zhou Huai's burning eyes could burn her. In order to break the embarrassment, the eldest princess turned around and looked at Zhou Huai, and asked, "Is your injury okay?"

"It's just a small injury, it's okay."

Zhou Huai didn't care about these small injuries, but seeing the eldest princess's gloomy expression and chatting with nothing to say, he couldn't help but want to tease her, so he deliberately asked, "Do you think it's a pity?"

The eldest princess subconsciously nodded, and when she realized it, she blushed and shook her head with sincerity.

Zhou Huai smiled and glanced sideways at her, but he didn't care. Seeing that the princess was stiff and her expression was tangled, she deliberately pulled her into his arms.

The eldest princess struggled a few times to no avail, and was afraid that Zhou Huai would do something wrong, so she had no choice but to compromise.

The two of them were close to each other, and they really shared the same bed. Zhou Huai hugged her contentedly, and comforted her affectionately: "I will find out what happened just now and give you an explanation. Don't worry, if you are in the northwest If something goes wrong, what am I supposed to be the master of Huai, huh?"

"That's not it."

"Is there something bothering you?"

"It's okay." Elder Princess Zhou Huai hugged her, but closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, not wanting to talk any more.

Zhou Huai kissed her eyelashes lightly, and smiled lightly: "Heh, are you so obedient?"

The eldest princess' eyelashes trembled, and she wanted to withdraw from Zhou Huai's embrace, but instead she was hugged even tighter.She opened her eyes annoyed, stared at Zhou Huai, and asked, "Are you still sleeping?"

Seeing that the eldest princess was annoyed, Zhou Huai looked very happy, and chuckled in the silent night, "You are too gentle and abnormal tonight, don't you want to trick a beauty? When I fall asleep, you Stab my heart again?"

"Hmph, how do you know about Bengong's plan?" The eldest princess arrogantly pushed Zhou Huai away, and retreated into the bed again.

"Really? Do I need my cooperation, for example, to hold you down and kiss you now?" Zhou Huai said, and rushed over directly, making gestures.

"Stinking rogue!"

The eldest princess was startled, and immediately went to push Zhou Huai who was on her body, and the two started arguing, until the bed sheet was messy, and when the eldest princess got out of bed with a cold face and was about to leave, Zhou Huai, who had eaten enough tofu, stopped, making fun of her He made the bed and folded the quilt by himself, apologized repeatedly and promised to sleep well, only then coaxed the eldest princess to go back to bed and lie down again.

The eldest princess closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep. Instead, she was thinking about the conversation with Xiao Yu who came to her after the dinner party.

"Mr. Xiao is not busy mobilizing transportation equipment, why come here when you are free? Or did you find the research and development center of the medicine?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, his face was a little heavy, and after saluting to the eldest princess, he reported like this: "This time I came to meet His Highness in such a hurry because the person in charge sent by the Huai Yuan said that their Lord Huai was reprimanded by the crown prince, and he was in a bad mood. Jia, I forgot to sign the transportation permit, and the equipment cannot be shipped to the Northwest."

The eldest princess held her forehead and sighed: "Why is she still so narrow-minded! Forget it, sir, go down and have a rest first, I will go find her."

Xiao Yu also knew Zhou Huai's temperament of vengeance, but the prince did not miss any opportunity to suppress Zhou Huai, and he didn't like him, who had refused the prince's wooing to 'resolutely' stand in the eldest princess' camp.It is also not good for him to get too close to the crown prince and remind him frequently, because Zhou Huai had someone bring him a message that if he no longer loyal to the eldest princess, he can live; but if his loyalty is no longer to the eldest princess, he will die.

Xiao Yu thought of Zhou Huai's intelligence and vengeance, and he didn't think that Zhou Huai would forget his childhood so that he could live a good life, and he would not give up his ambition, otherwise he would not betray the Xiao family to the eldest princess.But after he knew that the eldest princess didn't just hate Zhou Huai, he felt a little panic in his heart, fearing that the eldest princess would fall in love, become stupid, and stop trusting and relying on him.If the eldest princess trusts Zhou Huai one day, then it will be completely meaningless for him to stay with the eldest princess, because Zhou Huai can give the eldest princess what she wants.

Xiao Yu looked at the eldest princess and told her about Zhou Huai's ambitions: "The prince may transfer troops to the northwest, because of the latest news, Huai Yuan may be moved to Yancheng."

The eldest princess was surprised: "So suddenly, the news is confirmed? What does she want to do? What is going on with the transfer of troops? The prince does not have the right to transfer troops, right?"

"When His Majesty enshrined her as a saint, because she didn't want to go back to the capital, she specially gave her a place in Yunzhou to build the Huaiyuan. It occupies a vast area and there is no need to move. This time she took great pains to go to the dangerous border Long-term stationing, the most likely is to stand on your own. As for the military power in the prince's hands, half a month ago, Queen Wei just returned to the capital from the palace to escape the summer heat, and got the [-] Jingwei Battalion's troop talisman."

The prince and the fourth prince are in charge of the army and government.With the body and temperament of the prince, it will never be possible to expand the territory.Although Zhou Huai did not have a million soldiers, he had strong soldiers, well-equipped horses, and spies all over the world.

"Fifty thousand? Heh, with such a disparity in strength, how dare he make the first move?"

But Xiao Yu said to the eldest princess righteously: "Under the Putian, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the subject of the king. She, Zhou Huaisheng, is a subject of Jingguo. She has been favored by His Majesty since she was a child and bestowed with supreme glory But he doesn't want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Instead, he acts arrogantly and recklessly. He not only raises private soldiers, but also wants to seal the border and split the land. How can we not punish? The crown prince is the orthodox heir of the Jing Kingdom, and it is an act of benevolence and righteousness to clean up traitors and eliminate evil spirits. Even if the army is not dominant now, justice will always prevail over evil..."

The eldest princess clutched her forehead, feeling like she had a splitting headache, and even began to feel grateful that the assassin's appearance interrupted Xiao Yu's long speech.The eldest princess sighed, and the worry between her brows became heavier.

"Still sleeping, what are you thinking about? If you don't tell me, maybe I can help you solve it?" Zhou Huai suddenly spoke out, his voice was small but clear, but his tone was very serious.

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, but finally she couldn't hold back and asked: "I got the news that the Huaiyuan will be moved to Yancheng, what do you want to do?"
