Chapter 180 Black and White

Huayang Palace.

Landscapes, flowers and birds complement each other beautifully.

The Queen Mother of Huayang is sitting next to a small lake. On a hot summer day, there is a refreshing breeze among the waterside pavilions.

There were two bowls of lotus seed soup on the table to relieve the heat and quench thirst. The Queen Mother Huayang looked at the person in front of her with a smile on her face.

"It's been chilled just now, so it's the right time to drink it. Why, don't you have a bad appetite?"

Mr. Changping did have a bad appetite, but it was because of his mood.

Cheng Yu sent Fan Yuqi outside, but he led his troops into Tunliu to attack Zhao, and turned a deaf ear to his advice.

"The situation is so corrupt that many ministers have written memorials, saying that Lord Chang'an is disloyal. But the king just laughs it off and does not deal with it. But Lu Buwei is sharpening his sword. I don't understand why Lord Chang'an insists on going his own way?"

The small silver spoon swung gently in the jade bowl, and the Queen Mother Huayang smiled softly.

"You have three questions, not one."

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"The king doesn't do anything about it because he can't do it. Chang'an Jun's response does not violate the law. Whether it is dispatching troops or raising troops to attack Zhao, it is something that has been approved by the court. Just based on rumors, How can you convince people by dealing with your own brother?"

"Lu Buwei is sharpening his sword. That's the proper gesture. What's important is, do you know where he's going to kill?"

Mr. Changping paused, and his depressed mood cleared up in an instant, but doubts filled his mind again.

Queen Mother Huayang looked at Lord Changping and shook her head.

"As for Cheng Yu, after all, he is still young and full of energy. It is certainly a good suggestion for you to ask him to find a reason to withdraw his troops, travel with ease, and return to Xianyang. But how can he be willing to do so?"

"Then what should I do?"

Queen Mother Huayang sighed slightly and seemed a little helpless.

"It is not only his enemies who hope to rebel, but also those under him. This is the great thing about Lu Buwei. He sets the situation, but his enemies also promote the development of the situation according to his ideas. "

"Then what should I do?"

Lord Changping looked at the Queen Mother Huayang, who was calm and calm, not affected by the situation at all.

"Hasn't Fan Yuqi been driven out by Chenglong? This is a great blessing for you. Otherwise, if he really got involved, you wouldn't be able to explain it even if you were covered in mouths."

Lord Changping was startled and looked at Queen Mother Huayang with an unspeakable uneasiness in his heart.

"What does the Queen Mother mean, do we want to abandon it?"

Queen Mother Huayang glared at Lord Changping, who then closed his mouth calmly.

"There are some things you shouldn't say, and it's not your turn to say them."

Lord Changping lowered his head, a little frightened, and handed over his hands to plead guilty.

"I understand!"

"You'd better not wade into the muddy waters here. If you insist on getting in, the Ai family can show you a clear path."

"Please give me your instructions, the Queen Mother."

"Jiazi Lane, a separate residence on the Wei River."

"Zhao Shuang?"

Changping Jun's face was full of surprise. He didn't understand where the path of Queen Mother Huayang was leading.

"If you want to stay out of the matter, then order Fan Yuqi to restrain his troops and not to act rashly. If Cheng Xiu wants to attack Zhao, he can cooperate with his full strength. But if Cheng Xiu wants to turn his troops around, then he must not follow it and even resist it with troops. .”

Having said this, Queen Mother Huayang looked at Lord Changping, with a rather unfathomable look on her face.

"If you want to get involved and benefit for yourself, then you must figure out a few issues."

"First, what is Lu Buwei's killing move? Second, Cheng Yu is not a fool, he will not see the situation clearly. He insists on leading his troops into Tunliu, where is the confidence? Third, Zhao Shuang's escape What is the strategy?"

After saying that, Queen Mother Huayang put the empty jade bowl aside and wiped her mouth with silk cloth.

"You can't get involved until you understand these three issues."

"An escape strategy?"

As Empress Dowager Huayang finished speaking, the doubts in Lord Changping's heart not only did not diminish, but actually increased.

"The evidence of the crime is clear and clear. How can Zhao Shuang still confuse right and wrong?"

Queen Mother Huayang smiled slightly, but remained silent.

When Lord Changping left Huayang Palace and went to guard Zhao Shuang's residence, he walked to the door and saw that the soldiers were in confusion and there was blood on the door.

"What happened?"

Lord Changping's attendants went to inquire and came back soon to report.

"Back to the king, there were three assassins who assassinated Lord Hanyang last night. The soldiers killed two of them, and one was still alive. Tingwei's people are interrogating them."

"Walk!"

Chang Pingjun led people into the interrogation room, but unexpectedly the scene was a bit bizarre. It's strange. Tingwei's people are reviewing the case. Why do they do it in front of Zhao Shuang?

Zhao Shuang sat alone, and Ting Wei's human lock held an assassin who was beaten all over with wounds.

The room was clean and there was no bloody scene like during the interrogation.

Zhao Shuang took the teacup and asked softly.

"Who asked you to assassinate me?"

Unexpectedly, with these gentle words, the assassin started to roar.

"I am really the assassin of Luo Sheng, and I am here to take your life on the orders of Lord Lao Ai."

Chang Pingjun came closer and took a closer look. The assassin had a tattoo mark of a snare on his body. Although he was not familiar with the art of torture, he could still see that the assassin had obviously been served by the masters of Tingwei Mansion. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"impossible!"

Zhao Shuang's categorical words shocked not only Lord Changping, but also the assassin.

"Master Lao Ai is very effective in handling affairs and has won the trust of Empress Dowager Zhao and Lu Xiangbang. By saying this, are you saying that they don't know people well and misused them as sycophants?"

"What's more, Luo Sheng is a powerful weapon of Great Qin. Why did their people come to assassinate me? After the defeat, they revealed the truth so easily. Don't you understand how Luo Sheng handles traitors?"

Chang Pingjun saw that the assassin suddenly realized something, and a look of extreme horror appeared on his originally numb face.

"Although I am a guilty person, I will eventually be vindicated. You have to think about it before you speak."

Changping Jun suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked at Hanyang Jun and questioned.

"Zhao Shuang, are you trying to induce a confession?"

"It's Cheng Xi! It was Chang'an Jun Cheng Xi who ordered it!"

The assassin seemed to finally realize something, and shouted loudly. The hoarse voice seemed to have heart-rending magic power, making Lord Changping restless.

He wanted to stop all this, but he didn't know where to start, but Zhao Shuang smiled.

"Impossible! Why did Lord Changan want to assassinate me?"

The words that were no longer firm seemed to be excusing, but when they were heard in Chang Pingjun's ears, they made him feel that the world was slipping into an abyss, and the stripped reality was so absurd.

Chang Pingjun looked at the young man in front of him, and for the first time, he felt a little scared.
