Outside the city gate.
The wind howled, kicking up clouds of dust.
Chu Jun and Zhu Jing rode on their horses and turned back to look at Ju Beicheng, their expressions ugly.
"Sir, what do you think this Northern Fortress Marquis is trying to do?”
Retracting his gaze, Chu Jun looked at Zhu Jing and asked him in a deep voice.
Although they had suffered quite a bit of shock in the Zhenbei Lord's estate, they were still shocked.
However, Li Qinghou didn't make things too difficult for them. After the two of them finished their meal, they quickly left.
He did not dare to stay any longer, afraid that something would happen.
"I don't know either."
Zhu Jing shook his head slowly when he heard this. His expression was a little complicated.
Even though he was extremely confident in his ability to see through people's hearts, he did not see through the intentions of the other party today.
"The Northguard Marquis's attitude is unclear. He seems to be siding with the empress, but he also seems to be ignoring the king's rebellion.”
"In the current Great Zhou Dynasty, could it be that other than Your Highness, there are other people who want to plot against the Great Zhou Dynasty?”
Zhu Jing's expression darkened as he recalled the words of the Northguard Marquis.
"Looks like that's the case.”
"Other than Your Highness, there are still people who are secretly plotting against the Great Zhou Empire.”
"But who is it?"
"Could it be another vassal king?"
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Jing could not guess who the person in the dark was.
That was why the Northguard Marquis said that if Prince Li insisted on going his own way, the ship would be destroyed and everyone would die.
One had to know.
King Li's foundation in the Southern Border was incomparable to the King of Yan and the Northern Marquis.
However, other than these two, who else in the Great Zhou could compete with King Li?
The king of Qin and the king of Zhao conspired.
Perhaps he could give it a try and compete with King Li.
But was this possible?
Zhu Jing couldn't figure out who it was, so he stopped thinking about it.
"Your highness, we need to return to the southern border quickly and report this to your highness.”
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Jing called out to Chu Jun and immediately rode his horse away.
However…
What Zhu Jing didn't know was that after their figures left...
Just as the two of them stopped, a few figures quickly rushed in various directions.
Looking at their auras, they were all Vajra Realm martial experts.
...
Linchuan.
In a courtyard of King Qin's Mansion.
Qin Wang stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm, and there was no shock in his eyes.
"In that case, the Northguard Marquis still hasn't made his stance clear?”
Looking at the black-robed man in front of him, Qin Wang frowned slightly.
This was not good news for him.
There was no doubt that Li Qinghou was the person he feared the most in the Great Zhou.
Now that the Marquis of Zhenbei was acting so ambiguously, it was unclear whether he was unwilling to get involved in these matters or had already secretly sided with the empress and wanted to play dirty.
"What a pity."
Behind Qin Wang, a hunchbacked old man was holding a walking stick. His old and cold face was filled with pity.
"If this person can conspire with us, the Great Zhou will be within our grasp.”
Qin Wang did not refute this point.
However, a mocking smile hung on his face as he said sarcastically,"If you dare to go to the Northern Territory to find him, I'm afraid you won't even know how you died there.”
The old man sneered.
"No matter how strong the Northguard Marquis is, he is still human."
"Since this person's attitude is ambiguous, I don't know what he means. He's also a potential opponent for us. He's extremely dangerous.”
"This person cannot be left alive."
As he spoke, a frightening killing intent flashed across the old man's turbid eyes.
"Oh?"
Sensing the killing intent, Qin Wang turned around and looked at the old man.""Are you going to attack the Northguard Marquis?”
The old man didn't say anything. He only nodded slightly with a cold smile on his face, confirming Qin Wang's guess.
"The Northern Territory isn't that simple.”
Seeing this, Qin Wang slowly shook his head and warned him,""Over the years, there have been many people who have secretly attacked the Northguard Marquis.”
"In the end, none of them had a good ending.”
"Don't let him uproot you instead of killing you.”
No matter what, these people had a cooperative relationship with him. Without them, he would not dare to plan for the Great Zhou Empire.
Once something happened to them, it would mean that his strength would be weakened.
The King of Qin did not want to see the day they were uprooted by the Marquis of Zhenbei.
"King Qin."
The old man smiled sinisterly when he heard Qin Wang's warning.
"No matter how strong the Northern Marquis is, he's just a Marquis of a dynasty," he said hoarsely.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Before Qin Wang could say anything, the old man's figure disappeared without a trace.
"Interesting."
Seeing the other party disappear, Qin Wang also sneered and ignored him.
Some people always lived in the past.
He couldn't see how strong he was now, he didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
If it was the Marquis of Zhenbei, it would really be that simple.
Then, he would not have been able to live until now unscathed and be feared by everyone.
"It's good to suffer a little."
"Otherwise, it's not a good thing for these guys to remain so arrogant.”
After saying this, Qin Wang turned around and left.
......
In the capital.
The Third Prince appeared in a secluded courtyard.
A middle-aged man stood in the courtyard.
"Your Highness."
When the Third Prince arrived, the middle-aged man nodded slightly at him, even though he addressed him as His Highness.
His attitude wasn't very respectful.
"Guardian Li."
When the Third Prince saw this, he did not care.
Instead, he cupped his hands and lowered his body.
"Mr. Li, there's news from the Northern Territory.”
After the Third Prince entered the hospital, he didn't delay much and directly told Foreign Elder Li about the news of the Northern Territory.
After a long time.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Mr. Li's eyes.
"I understand."
"I will report this matter to His Majesty. Your Highness, you should be thinking about how the Northguard Marquis will fare.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Exalt Li did not say anything else and slowly closed his eyes.
It was as if the Third Prince did not exist.
When Chu Wen saw this, his expression turned ugly, and a sinister glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"I understand."
Chu Wen's face darkened as he prepared to leave.
"Your Highness."
However, just as he was about to leave, Exalt Li suddenly spoke.
"Recently, the capital has been in turmoil. The forces are complicated and there are many spies. If there's nothing else, Your Highness should not come to this old man's place again to avoid being seen by others to cause trouble.”
After saying this, Mr. Li's figure disappeared from the courtyard.
"Humph!"
Chu Wen's expression darkened, and he walked out of the courtyard with a cold snort.
