"General Chen Qingzhi. His Royal Highness King Nankang, I have heard of your prestige for a long time. He has always wanted to befriend you, Your Highness. This is a little courtesy, not a tribute. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said with a smile.

Xiao Yunzi took out a box and opened it to see that it was a night pearl that emitted a golden light.

A golden dragon flew out of it and circled around the house.

"This is the big pearl of the South China Sea, right?" Chen Qingzhi asked.

"General Chen really has good eyesight?" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"It's not my eyesight. It's because I'm a businessman and my father. Familiar with the pearls of the South Seas. If the light doesn't work, then the pearl doesn't. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

"We, His Royal Highness the King of Nankang, hope that General Chen Qingzhi can serve him well. In the future, we will definitely let all the people of the world belong to the Qi country. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.

"I accepted the gift. However, I have always been a person in the history of Yongzhou Thorns. Cannot directly serve the King of Nankang. I hope King Nankang understands. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

"Understood. The villain will convey it by all means. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said with a smile.

Chen Qingzhi thought: If you continue. I am afraid that there will be contradictions between the king of Nankang and the lord. The lord will inevitably be suspicious of King Nankang. If this continues, it will also be extremely detrimental to the great cause of crusading against Xiao Baojuan.

In the next few days, rumors began to spread in Yongzhou.

"Have you heard? Madame's son is not a master's. It's Chen Qingzhi's. Maiden A commented.

"yes. I've heard about it too. Chen Qingzhi and Mrs. Ding have a leg! Maiden B said.

After Xiao Zhengde heard about it, he found Xiao Yuyao and talked about it.

"Have you heard? Younger sister. Ding Lingguang's child is Chen Qingzhi's. Now, the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion has spread. If the Father-in-law knows. Ding Lingguang's position as the lady of the side room will definitely be deposed. Xiao Zhengde said with a smile.

"Really? That's great. I've wanted to get rid of Ding Lingguang this slut for a long time. Now, it's time for an opportunity. Xiao Yuyao smiled.

However, the father-in-law favored Ding Lingguang so much. Would he really believe it? Xiao Zhengde worried.

"As the saying goes, three people become tigers. If a hundred people say: Daddy will believe it. Daddy is also a mortal after all. Xiao Yuyao smiled.

"Really? How can I not believe it? Daddy isn't a fool. Will he believe it? Xiao Zhengde worried.

"We can ...... like this," Xiao Yuyao muttered in Xiao Zhengde's ear for a while.

"What a plan." Xiao Zhengde said with relief.

He thought to himself: This time, I must let Chen Qingzhi and Ding Lingguang die. In this way, my position in the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion is unbreakable.

Soon after, Xiao Yan received two anonymous letters.

He looked at it, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He showed the letter to Fan Yun.

"Does the lord believe it?" Fan Yun asked.

"I don't believe it." Xiao Yan said.

"Is that or do you believe it?" Fan Yun asked.

"Yes. I have some conviction. Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Chen Qingzhi is the same age as Ding Lingguang, and they are also in love. If they have something to do, it makes sense.

Moreover, Chen Qingzhi is also my righteous son. If he is punished. It's not good for me either. Moreover, he had private contact with Xiao Baorong, the king of Nankang, and he did not betray me. He is also my arm. What to do?

"My lord. I think it's fake. The letter could not be genuine. Because, if Chen Qingzhi likes Ding Lingguang. He could have told you himself. And if he wants to betray you. can fully promise Xiao Baorong. This anonymous letter must be Xiao Baojuan's masterpiece. He hoped that the lord would be in trouble. Fan Yun analyzed.

"Anyway. I will summon Chen Qingzhi. Moreover, now Xiao Baorong is a little worried that he has no power. We can support him as emperor to appease him. What do you think? Xiao Yan asked.

"Yes. Moreover, I need to let him know that I, Xiao Shuda, am here to assist him. Not for their own selfishness. Fan Yun said.

A few days later, Xiao Yan met Chen Qingzhi at the Jingzhou Thorn Shi Mansion.

Xiao Yan and Chen Qingzhi had dinner at the mansion.

On the table: lettuce soup, squirrel cinnamon fish, venison, Yangtze carp, roast leg of lamb.

"Chen Qingzhi, I have always felt that you are my right-hand man. Recently, however, there have been some rumors in the prefecture. I hope you don't take it to heart! Xiao Yan said.

"Did the lord say that there were rumors between me and Mrs. Ding?" Chen Qingzhi asked.

"Yes. Recently, someone in the mansion said that you have an affair with Mrs. Ding. I didn't believe it. It must be Xiao Baojuan's trick. You have been most faithful to me. How is that possible? Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"I don't think it's that simple. It must be the person from the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion. Otherwise, there could be no such rumors. Who is it. Master, I know what I know. Chen Qingzhi said.

"I think it's Xiao Zhengde. He was worried that Mrs. Ding would give birth to a son. In that case, he will not be able to inherit my family business. In the last few times, I have been very disappointed in Xiao Zhengde. How can such a person be my heir? Xiao Yan said angrily.

His eyes were starting to get red and swollen.

He thought to himself: If I let Xiao Zhengde be my heir. I am afraid that my reputation will be ruined.

"Lord, this is the night pearl that King Nankang gave me." Chen Qingzhi took out the Night Pearl and gave it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan saw the night pearl and thought: King Nankang actually has such a rare treasure. It must be a clever plunder. Otherwise, King Nankang's young man would not be able to afford such a night pearl.

"I found that King Nankang was not so wise. Such a luxurious pearl of the night. Could it be that King Nankang could afford it? Obviously, the Nankang Wangcheng Mansion is extremely deep. I've been pretending to be wise. Such a prince, once he becomes an emperor. I'm afraid it's someone who is similar to Xiao Baojuan. Xiao Yan scolded.

"My lord. Feel relieved. I will not betray you. Although Xiao Baorong hopes to win me over. However, he is not my lord after all. Chen Qingzhi said to Xiao Yan.

"I also believe that you will not betray me." Xiao Yan smiled,

"Xiao Baojuan's side, he is still looking for fun. There is no worry about the soldiers coming to the city at all. If it goes on. and all the people of the earth will forsake him. The people of the world will surely surrender to the lord. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

"Really? Not necessarily. I heard that Xiao Baoyin was also plotting to flee to Wei. Because before, Chen Xianda's secret appointment of him as emperor was revealed. Xiao Baoyin hoped to defect to Wei and rely on the strength of Wei to seize the throne. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Since the reform of Emperor Xiaowen, the Wei army has lost its combat effectiveness. Even if Xiao Baoyin had the help of Wei, it would be useless. Chen Qingzhi said with an oath.

"Yes. Moreover, if Xiao Baoyin went to Wei through Xiangyang. We must not stand in the way. In this way, we can have a reason to crusade against Wei. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
