In the Zhaoguo Princess's Mansion, Baili Qinghong wiped away the blood from the sword. This was the seventh assassination he had encountered after returning to the capital.

Obviously, the temptation of gold will never disappear at any time. In recent years, under the oppression of the people of the Clan, the Apocalypse people have been as quiet as a chicken in the entire Shangjing Imperial City, like a puppet without thoughts and sounds. However, a golden reward order can make people live. Not only the Apocalypse people, but there are even the Clans among the people who came to assassinate Baili Qinghong. After all, the charm of money is regardless of race, and even the Clans are more bold.

"Drag out." Baili Qinghong said lightly, glanced at the corpse on the ground.

"Yes, the prince consort." The guards waiting on the side quickly responded and stepped forward to carry the corpses out to deal with them.

Tuoba Mingzhu walked from not far away with her hand holding the girl. Even though she knew that her husband had just encountered an assassin, she had no urgency or worry on her face. Instead, she was a little irritable and impatient. After glanced at the blood on the ground, Tuoba Mingzhu turned her head with some disgust and said, "When will these people end? It's endless!" Baili Qinghong said lightly: "I'm dead."

Tuoba Mingzhu gritted her teeth and gently stroked the abdomen with one hand with a faint anxiety. It would be too inconvenient to have a baby at this time. If the doctor hadn't warned her early on that child that she could not be taken away at will, otherwise there might be danger. Maybe she wouldn't want to have this child long ago.

Baili Qinghong returned to the sheath of the sword and turned around and was about to walk into the study. Tuoba Mingzhu behind him said, "Wait!"

"What else?" Baili Qinghong asked.

Tuoba Mingzhu said: "The father asked Tuoba Zan and Su and Mingguang to lead troops to the expedition?"

"So?" Baili Qinghong raised his eyebrows. Tuoba Mingzhu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Go and tell your father that Yuan'er will go with you."

Baili Qinghong suddenly turned around and stared at Tuoba Mingzhu and said coldly: "Are you crazy? Yuan'er is only twelve years old." Tuoba Mingzhu disagreed and said: "It's normal for me, a man from the age of twelve to go to the battlefield. Is Yuan'er supposed to go to the battlefield to experience it?"

Baili Qinghong remained silent. Before the clan entered the pass, there were indeed 12 or 13-year-old boys who followed him to the battlefield. But at that time, when he was outside the pass, there was no way out. What's more, Bailiyuan's body and appearance were more like the Apocalypse. The young man of this age had not even grown up. What could he do if he went to the battlefield?

Baili Qinghong flatly refused and said, "No, he is still too young."

Tuoba Mingzhu said angrily: "Other way, what do you think you will do?! I can't do anything now, and you are also staying in the mansion all day long waiting for someone to assassinate! Now my father, Jinlian and Su and Mingguang brothers, how can I remember us after a long time?" Tuoba Mingzhu didn't feel deeply about losing favor now. Just a few months ago, she was the most favored and glorious princess in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and even the prince was not as good as her. Now... women who used to laugh at the Apocalypse could only compete for favor, but now Tuoba Mingzhu realized that sometimes she really had to compete for it.

"You're thinking too much." Baili Qinghong said.

"Baili Qinghong!" Tuoba Mingzhu couldn't help but want to scream. The maid next to her quickly comforted her: "Princess calm down...Princess, be careful of your body, the doctor said you..." Tuoba Mingzhu couldn't control her at all and said angrily: "Be careful of your body! What else can I be careful about when I become like this! Baili Qinghong, you..."

I don’t know if it was too excited, but Tuoba Mingzhu’s eyes fell down in the dark. The maid was shocked and hurriedly supported her, “Princess! What’s wrong with you, Princess? The princess…”

Baili Qinghong frowned, pondered for a moment, but walked over and picked her up and turned to Tuoba Mingzhu's yard.

Pingjing, Xiangguo Duke's Mansion.

"Master Qi, Mr. Yu is here." Outside the study room, the attendant reported respectfully.

Duke Xiangguo, who was frowning and reading the file in front of him, couldn't help but brow and said, "Oh? Let him come in quickly." A moment later, Master Huan Yu walked in from outside, and there was a beautiful woman who was obviously of alien blood next to him. Huan Yu looked at Duke Xiangguo, raised his eyebrows and said, "My cousin looks in a bad mood."

Duke Xiangguo snorted, "You still know how to come back."

Mr. Huan Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I'm not going out to play. I'm going to rush back from the battlefield thousands of miles after receiving the news. Is it easy?"

Duke Xiangguo glared at him angrily and said, "Stop talking nonsense, this girl is..." Seeing the woman following Huan Yu, Duke Xiangguo was stunned. He really didn't know what the woman was from. He couldn't help but look at Huan Yu's eyes with a bit of suspicion. Could this kid be so lustful that he brought a confidante back at this time, right?

Seeing his gaze, Mr. Huan Yu almost fell down. He hurriedly said, "Cousin, this is the young breeze girl who is the princess, Xin Chong. Uh... she also has another identity, which is the water dragon king of Lingcang River."

"Puff!" Duke Xiangguo, who was drinking tea and preparing to listen to his nephew's nonsense, finally couldn't help but spray the tea on the table. He quickly coughed and tidied up the things on the table. Seeing this, Wanfeng looked at Master Huan Yu apologetically, "Did I... scare Duke Xiangguo?"

Young Master Huan Yu thought to himself, aren’t you scared? This news is obviously too exciting for such an old man.

The Duke of Xiangguo coughed repeatedly, and finally recovered, and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's me that I'm rude. Miss Wanfeng doesn't have to be polite, please sit, please sit."

Wanfeng felt relieved, nodded with a smile and sat down aside. After all, Duke Xiangguo was the princess's uncle, so she naturally wanted to give her face.

As the host and the guest took a seat, the Duke of Xiangguo couldn't help but look at Wanfeng repeatedly, looked at Huan Yu and asked, "This... is really the Water Dragon King?" Although the Water Dragon King said it nicely, it was just a water bandit, but it was just a water bandit. However, it was impossible to be able to come and go freely on the Lingcang River at this time without any real ability. Who would have thought that this would be a beautiful girl who looked only ten years old?

Huan Yu gave him a look of "What do I lie to you?", and the princess of Xiangguo felt a headache. It would be fine if the princess herself was powerful, but the girls around her were also powerful. I won't say that Xiao Yan'er, I heard that there is a sister who has become a charitable sister in Xinzhou, who is also very powerful. This world is really shameful for those of them who are men.

Huan Yucai, regardless of how many headaches Duke Xiangguo had, asked directly: "Cousin, how are the people from Northern Jin?"

Duke Xiangguo immediately put aside the messy thoughts in his heart and sighed, "What else can you do? Your Majesty refuses to see them. They have been very active in Pingjing City these days. I am afraid they have made many ways. This morning, people always leave the messengers of Northern Jin." The reason is that, but now they just want to leave the people of Northern Jin and the court officials to demolish their own platforms, which makes people not so happy.

Huan Yu frowned and said, "The princess story should have been passed back to the capital now, right? What is the reaction?"

Xiangguo said justice: "What else can you react? Ordinary people don't know much, but most of the military generals in the court support the princess, but there are too many civil servants and too many thoughts. They all say everything in a mess."

"The main thing is that Lord Zhu and Lord Shangguan are unshakable, those people can't do anything, right?" Huan Yu said.

Duke Xiangguo shook his head and sighed, "You are also very negligent about these things when you are not in the court. Shangguan Chengyi and Lord Zhu do hold heavy power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can cover the sky with your own hands. But don't forget that a powerful minister can cover the sky with your own hands is never how powerful he is. But... how many people have common interests with him and want to rely on him. If the position of these two people goes against the majority of people, the prime minister and the Privy Council are just empty-handed."

Wanfeng tilted his head and tried hard to digest every word Duke Xiangguo said, and after a while, he said: "So... do most of the officials in the court disagree with the princess' actions?"

The Duke of Xiangguo nodded obviously very helpless.

Huan Yu said angrily: "Why? They were scared and dared not face to face with the people of the Clan. They hurried in Jiangnan and did not dare to move. We asked them to recover the lost land and they would be embarrassed to say anything?"

The Duke of Xiangguo looked at him and said, "So, they were scared and dared to confront the people of the Clan face to face? Isn't that telling the whole world that they are as timid as mice and even women? Not to mention those sour scholars who are not as good as ancient times... How many women died when Tianqi passed through the south? Do you really think those women could not withstand the fatigue of the journey?"

Huan Yu naturally heard of these things, and he was even more disdainful of them, "What else do those old people do except point fingers at this person?"

Duke Xiangguo snorted, "Every of the old people you look down on is full of students all over the world, and his disciples and officials are all over the court and the country."

"..." Huan Yu was speechless.

Wanfeng looked at the two and said, "Duke, Master Huan Yu, the most important thing for us now is to stop Your Majesty from making peace with the people of Northern Jin?"

Duke Xiangguo looked at the evening breeze and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty naturally doesn't want to make peace with the people of the Clan. But... there are probably many people who want to make peace in the court. Just you two..." Shaking his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough. How is the princess now?"

The two looked at each other, and Huan Yu looked at Xiangguo and said, "The princess was in Cangyun City and was slightly injured. She is now recuperating in Cangyun City."

"What?" Xiangguo Duke changed color slightly, "Is the princess seriously injured?"

Wanfeng said: "Don't worry, the princess sent us a message saying that the injury was not serious. However,... I am afraid that I will not be able to come back to Pingjing in the near future, so we can only deal with the matter here."

Duke Xiangguo was silent for a moment, and finally sighed lightly and said, "I understand, let me think about what to do if I want."

Wan Feng said: "What can I do to serve? Just give me the order."
