Chu Ling didn't expect to meet Tuoba Zan so soon. In fact, she didn't really want to meet her old friends when she came to Beijing this time. Because now everyone has a clear position, meeting ten again is a hostile relationship. As for Tuoba Zan, the junior brother, although Chu Ling's feelings for him are not as deep as Tuoba Xingye Aduo, he was also a person who had been together for two years. Moreover, Tuoba Zan has a cheerful personality and has always treated him enthusiastically to the people he believes in. Although Chu Ling has always liked to complain about his brain, Chu Ling actually really likes this junior brother.

But now... we can only make people embarrassed when we meet again.

However, when he saw Tuoba Zan so late, Chu Ling was surprised and was still a little worried. He was about to chase and take a look, but he saw Tuoba Zan heading towards the Northern Jin Emperor's Bedroom. Moreover, after entering the bedroom, he was not intercepted, so Chu Ling had to press the urge to chase and take a look.

No one stops Tuoba Zan, does not mean that no one will stop her. Tuoba Zan can still travel all the way to the Northern Jin Emperor's bedroom at this time, obviously he got the consent of the Northern Jin Emperor. However... even after taking Tuoba Xingye as his teacher, the Northern Jin Emperor still did not take much attention to Tuoba Zan. What is the reason for now?

Looking at the direction of the bedroom and thinking for a long time, Chu Ling sighed and flew down the roof.

The next day, when he saw Nangong Yuyue, Chu Ling told him his plan. Nangong Yuyue said in surprise, "I decided so soon?" Chu Ling shrugged and said, "The Northern Jin Emperor is almost always staying in the bedroom except for the morning court. What else can I think about? What else is there to consider? Do the national master think I have time to come up with a more careful plan?"

Nangong Yuyue said gloatingly, "Yes, what happened last year seemed to scare the courage of our Emperor."

The emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty was a dignified emperor, so he would not be scared out of his courage because of a palace change. Naturally, Nangong Yuyue could only listen to what he said, but the Northern Jin Dynasty was not in good condition. "Chu Ling frowned slightly and said, "At this time, it is not worth it to send out the Northern Jin Dynasty general Tuoba Yin." After all, Tuoba Yin is a famous general of the Northern Jin Dynasty and the biological son of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Nangong Yuyue said calmly, "It was planned to send troops to Cangyun long ago. Unless the Northern Jin Emperor was about to die, it would be impossible to change. Even if the Northern Jin Emperor wanted to change his mind, others would not agree. The Clan was warlike, and the Northern Jin Emperor had not used troops on a large scale for several years, and many people were already impatient. What's more, Tuoba Yin was not very close to the Northern Jin Emperor. Even so, Tuoba Luo and half-destroyed, in the eyes of the Northern Jin Emperor, Tuoba Yin was still far less trustworthy than Tuoba Xingye. If Tuoba Yin did not go, the troops who went to Cangyun City would be the dominant one of the Ming Prince's Mansion. Now the Northern Jin Emperor sent out Tuoba Yin, and the Ming Prince sent out Baili Qinghong. It actually did not have much impact on the strength of both sides."

Chu Ling thought about it and was right. Tuoba Yin was on Tuoba Luo's side. Although Baili Qinghong was the son-in-law of the Ming King, the Ming King could not fully trust him. Therefore, sending out this unstable factor may not be a good idea. With Tuoba Yin restrained him, he was not afraid that Baili Qinghong would do anything that was unfavorable to the Clan, and would not affect the balance of strength between the Northern Jin Emperor and the Ming King.

"So, does the national teacher have no objection to my plan?" Chu Ling asked.

Nangong Yuyue looked at her and thought for a moment, "It's like Sheng Sheng said, there's nothing I can do if I have any objections. But... are you really sure to kill the Northern Jin Emperor before Jiankun takes action and then escape?"

Chu Ling said, "It's indeed a bit dangerous, but it's not a chance at all." Nangong Yuyue looked at her and said, "It seems that I underestimated Sheng Sheng. Since Sheng Sheng is sure, then follow your plan. No matter what I need, I can cooperate with the Ming Prince's Mansion." Chu Ling said, "There is only one question. If the news of the assassination of the Northern Jin Emperor came out, how long will my master arrive?"

Nangong Yuyue said, "It depends on when you choose to take action. Since you don't want to alarm the snake, you can't deliberately move Tuoba Xingye away. You know Tuoba Xingye's habits, and most of the time it will not change." Chu Ling nodded and thought for a moment, "Tomorrow, the morning after tomorrow, it will be a grand dynasty meeting, and then the master will go out of the city to patrol the military camp. If we do it at this time, the master will get the news and come back, at least... No, the assassination of the emperor cannot be calculated based on ordinary situations. The palace will definitely use wolf smoke and wolf roar. With the master's footwork, maybe we only have two quarters of an hour."

Nangong Yuyue nodded, Chu Ling's analysis was very accurate. However... "As long as the Northern Jin Emperor dies, you can withstand the masters around the emperor, everything is easy to say. Could it be that Tuoba Xingye will kill you?"

Chu Ling smiled bitterly, "This is hard to say. Besides, I don't want anyone to know that this matter has something to do with me. Especially in the Ming Palace, if I kill the Northern Jin Emperor, will the national master think that the Ming King will push me out to the tank to give the powerful people of the clan an explanation? What's more, if I can kill the Northern Jin Emperor, I can kill the Ming King. Doesn't the Ming King want to kill me to eliminate future troubles?"

In fact, even if she killed the Northern Jin Emperor, she might not have the same chance to kill the Ming King. However, the Ming King might not think so. The higher the power, the more important the person he is to be, he always regards his life as a more important person.

Nangong Yuyue said, "So, Shengsheng wants to leave Shangjing before Tuoba Xingye arrives?"

Chu Ling nodded, Nangong Yuyue nodded and said, "Okay, then I will let someone hold Jiankun back, you have to find a way for the rest."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Thank you, the national teacher."

After talking about the main business, Chu Ling had time to mention Tuoba Zan. Nangong Yuyue's expression was a little strange, Chu Ling was puzzled, "What's wrong? What happened to Azan?"

Nangong Yuyue said, "It's nothing. That kid seems to have gotten up lately. The Northern Jin Emperor attaches great importance to him and asks Jiankun to teach him martial arts himself."

Chu Ling frowned slightly, "Jiankun teaches him martial arts personally?" Tuoba Zan is Tuoba Xingye's apprentice. Most masters of this level will not give advice to his apprentice at will. First, they are disrespectful to masters, and second, they don't need to give advice to others if they have such a master. As far as she knows, Jiankun is a very low-key and silent person, and he doesn't seem to have any friendship with his master, so how could he teach his apprentice for others to do anything?

Nangong Yuyue said, "By the way, Sheng Sheng may not know yet. Tuoba Zan is not Tuoba Xingye's apprentice now, so he is not your junior brother." Chu Ling was stunned, "Isn't the master's apprentice?" Nangong Yuyue snorted lightly and said, "You junior brother is a bit scary. A few days ago, he took advantage of the opportunity to follow Tuoba Xingye's side to secretly try to win over Tuoba Xingye's subordinates for his own use. After being sued by Tuoba Xingye's subordinates, Tuoba Xingye had already secretly suppressed the matter, but he even sued him secretly.

The general almost killed the man. Tuoba Xingye drove him out of the sect. Although he was so well covered up for him on the surface, he only said in front of his subordinate that his martial arts path was not suitable for Tuoba Zan, so Tuoba Zan had not made much progress in his martial arts in the past two years. However, everyone who should know in the capital knew. The Northern Jin Emperor did not blame Tuoba Zan, but seemed to admire him very much. He turned around and asked Jiankun to give him a guide to Tuoba Zan. Although in order to give Tuoba Xingye face, the Northern Jin Emperor seemed to be optimistic about the seventeenth prince."

Chu Ling was a little overwhelmed. She was so busy with Yu Rui ointment these days that she had no time to listen to gossip. She didn't expect that such a change happened between Master and Azan.

She knew Tuoba Zan's character and had never been interested in these open and secret battles. Now that it suddenly became like this, something must have happened. Chu Ling brows slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he could only sigh and shake his head. If she killed the Northern Jin Emperor, they would not be able to become senior brothers even without this change. If she failed to assassinate, she was caught or killed, there was naturally nothing to say.

Nangong Yuyue looked at her and smiled, "You don't have to worry about him. I think your ex-junior brother is not a simple character now. It's better to worry about him than to worry about your own affairs."

Chu Ling asked, "What happened to Azan in the past few months?"

Nangong Yuyue touched her chin and thought, "What happened? It doesn't seem to be there either. If you really want to say it, it's probably because after Tuoba Luo was abolished, the status and treatment of the Seventeenth Prince plummeted? In the past, Tuoba Luo protected him, so naturally no one dared to bully him. But now, even Tuoba Luo's own life is a bit uncomfortable. If you have to worry about it, you can only worry about your own brother. How can you still have time to care about him?"

Chu Ling had long been used to Nangong Yuyue's tone of speaking, and didn't care. She just frowned and tightened a little.

Mingwang Mansion

The man in black stood in the study and looked respectfully at Tuoba Liang sitting in the main seat. He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Nangong Yuyue seems to have begun to prepare for action."

"Oh?" Tuoba Liang's expression moved slightly, "Is Nangong Yuyue finally willing to do something this time?" Tuoba Mingzhu, who was sitting on the verge of the attack, said, "Father, what do we do?" Tuoba Liang snorted lightly, "Let someone watch them secretly, let them do whatever they want to do, and do their best to help at critical moments. But... Once things are done..."

Tuoba Mingzhu nodded and smiled, "Daughter understands, and immediately take the opportunity to take down Nangong Yuyue and the assassin."

Tuoba Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since Nangong Yuyue plans to do it himself, he will inevitably be seriously injured after fighting with Jiankun. It is the best time to get rid of him. And that assassin... He wants to escape after assassination of the emperor? What should we do to explain to the various tribes of the Clan and the royal family?"

Tuoba Mingzhu nodded and smiled, "What the father said." After that, she looked at the man in black and asked, "Have you found out the identity of the assassin?"

The man in black frowned in embarrassment and said, "The subordinates are incompetent, please forgive me for your crimes."

Tuoba Mingzhu said in a deep voice, "Can't you find out?"

The man in black nodded and said, "The woman who pretended to be in the palace should have had some disguise on her face. She doesn't look like anyone. There seems to be no such as an assassin in the world. Nangong Yuyue warned us in advance that we should not go to inquire about the female assassin, otherwise he would break the contract, so we could not get closer to see. She had hardly taken action, so no matter whether it was martial arts moves or internal skills, the subordinates could not investigate." If Nangong Yuyue caught the handle and ruined the prince's big affairs, it would be troublesome.

Tuoba Liang frowned and still endured it and said, "If she can really achieve our goals, you can endure all these for the time being. But you must remember that you must not let her go."

"Yes, Prince. I have someone to stare at her in secret at any time. As long as she succeeds, we will take her down immediately."

Tuoba Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "After the last incident, it is not easy to want the palace transformation again. It is best... Your Majesty the Emperor should not die at our hands." Tuoba Mingzhu looked at Tuoba Liang, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Father, since we already know that Your Majesty will not live long, why not wait? It is always a bit of a risk to cooperate with Nangong Yuyue." After half a year, Tuoba Mingzhu's impression of Nangong Yuyue fell to a negative value.

Tuoba Liang snorted lightly and said, "Your Majesty will never give up in person. Who knows if he will suddenly use a move before he dies? If he waits for him to make arrangements before he dies, it would be better to come and let him die quickly."

Tuoba Mingzhu lowered her head and thought about it, but she also felt that Tuoba Liang's concern made some sense, "What the father said is right."

Tuoba Liang glanced at the eldest son who was sitting on the other side without saying a word and frowned. He looked at Tuoba Mingzhu with a smile on his face and said, "You never have to worry about your affairs. I will leave the female assassin to you, don't let me down. Remember, you must not touch her until the matter is done."

Tuoba Mingzhu bowed and said with a smile, "My daughter will never let down her father's trust."

In a quiet yard in the backyard of the Ming Prince's Mansion, Zhu Yaohong was leaning leisurely on the soft couch to read a book. Yangguan passed through the open window and sprinkled on her, making her unable to help but squint her eyes slightly. A maid hurriedly walked in from outside, walked quickly to Zhu Yaohong and lowered her voice and said, "Madam, there is a message from the prince."

Zhu Yaohong's eyes flashed and she sat up. The maid whispered a few times in her ear, and Zhu Yaohong's lips curled a sneer. She quickly regained her calmness and said softly, "I know, go and tell the prince not to be too hasty. This matter... is not harmful to him. I promise that even if the prince's identity changes, his status will still be as stable as a rock in the short term."

"Yes, madam." The maid bowed and responded.

Zhu Yaohong held the forehead and continued, "By the way, I was a little dizzy because of the sun. Let's sleep for a while, don't let people bother me."

"I understand." The maid responded, leaned over for her and closed the window before bowing and retreating. Seeing the maid going out to close the door, Zhu Yaohong, who had already walked to the bed, chuckled, "What a mantis stalking the cicada oriole behind."
