Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 124 There is a hidden hand in the dark!

Yang Xiu said, "I hope I am overthinking it! But I always feel that there are too many doubts! Although the death of Emperor Qi on the battlefield was the most beneficial choice, he was a little too careless under the circumstances of Northern Qi at that time! Northern Qi was in turmoil both inside and outside! He should know what he will face after his death! The most important thing is that he has never believed me! But this time, he seems to have placed his bet on me! If he says he has no backup plan! I don't dare to believe it!"

Ye Xiao said, "Maybe Master Ku He is the only one who has a backup plan?"

Yang Xiu shook his head: "I used to think so too! But after I met Ku He, I think this possibility is very small! Ku He is high and mighty, but he also has the weakness of every great master, that is, his emotions have become extremely indifferent! Therefore, this backup plan is not safe! Moreover, what makes me most uneasy is! The secret guards of Northern Qi are missing!"

Night Owl exclaimed, "Missing?"

Yang Xiu nodded, "That's right! They disappeared! All the secret guards disappeared! Overnight, no trace was found! Zhuyiwei has been tracking the secret guards, and has found their location by following some clues, but all the clues were cut off! I don't believe that no one is doing anything! And this person can hide it from me and Zhuyiwei and transfer the secret guards away! There are only two people I can think of! The Emperor of Qi and my father!"

Night Owl asked, "Could that be the prince?"

Yang Xiu said, "I'm not sure! That's why I asked you to use Nanqing's secret guards to investigate! Who is behind this? I have tried to find out what my father said! He has no reason to do these things, so I always feel that Emperor Qi is not dead!"

Night Owl nodded: "I understand, Your Highness! I will continue to investigate! But if Emperor Qi really wants to hide, it will be difficult to find out!"

Yang Xiu said, "It doesn't matter. Just try to investigate! The Red Guards will also investigate! Even if they can't find the Emperor of Qi, they have to dig out the Northern Qi secret guards for me! I want to know where these people went! They didn't report to the Northern Qi royal family! This means that their direct managers are still there! Either the Emperor of Qi left a backup plan, or this person is simply the Emperor of Qi! No matter who it is, I want you to find out who is behind this!"

Night Owl cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will do my best!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Well! You should be careful too, after all, you are in Nanqing, and you are still among the Nanqing spies! Although your identity is very comprehensive and nothing is missed, don't be careless! I have already cleared out the people who knew about your identity! But it is better to be safe than sorry, and only by being cautious can you live longer! I am still waiting for the day when the dust settles and you come back!"

Night Owl nodded: "Yes! Your Highness! I understand!"

Yang Xiu patted Night Owl's shoulder.

"Okay! I'm leaving! You should go back as well! If you need anything, contact Ruyi through specific means! Ruyi will tell me!"

Night Owl bowed.

Yang Xiu turned and left.

Ye Xiao looked at Yang Xiu's departing back.

A bitter smile appeared on the face under the cloak.

"Go back? Can I go back? It's a great blessing to be able to use my remaining body to help you do something! Going back, I have never thought about it!"

Arrived at the gate of the dilapidated temple.

Ren Ruyi brought the carriage.

Yang Xiu followed Qingniao up.

The carriage started slowly.

Ren Ruyi asked, "Your Highness! Night Owl, what's going on?"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "Very good! I've grown taller and seem to have gained weight! It seems that the soil and water in Nanqing are indeed good for nourishing people!"

Ren Ruyi said: "After all, the south is richer than the north, and the climate is milder! We have gained some weight in the past few days since we came here!"

Yang Xiu said: "Indeed! It's such a waste for such a good place to be in the hands of Emperor Qing!"

Ren Ruyi said: "It's just a deposit. Won't he be in your hands sooner or later?"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "You are getting better and better at talking! Indeed, it's just for the time being! By the way, notify the Zhuyi Guards in Kyoto to withdraw! Kyoto is not of much interest! With Ye Xiao here, Ye Xiao is enough to find out some important information! Let the Zhuyi Guards spread out to find the people sent by Emperor Qing! See what they want to do! Are they really planning to find the temple!"

Ren Ruyi asked, "Your Highness, are you interested in the temple?" Yang Xiu said, "Not really! I'm just curious. There are spaceships in there! I'd like to play with them!"

In the original novel, Fan Xiaohua left the world of Joy of Life on a spaceship.

Gone into the universe.

If there is a chance, Yang Xiu would certainly like to go and have a look.

Apart from anything else, Yang Xiu was quite envious of some of the technologies.

When the carriage returned to the gate of the Supervisory Council.

Chen Pingping was already waiting for him.

See Yang Xiu getting off the carriage.

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Your Highness is back!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "President Chen is really hardworking. He is still waiting for me here!"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "That's not hard at all! When Your Highness returns to Kyoto, someone will naturally report the news to me. I just came out!"

Yang Xiu said: "Dean Chen is quite frank! Dean Chen wants to know what I did outside the city, or who I met?"

Chen Pingping nodded: "Indeed! I just don't know if His Highness will tell you!"

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes.

"Dean Chen is so funny! How could I possibly say that! If I could, I wouldn't have chased the shadow away!"

Chen Pingping said: "That's right! I just came here to try and ask!"

Yang Xiu said: "Then this kind of attempt will be rare in the future! It's useless!"

Chen Pingping nodded: "To be honest! There is actually one more thing!"

Yang Xiu said, "Oh? It seems that the Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Rites of Nanqing have already finished the work?"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Your Highness is smart! But there are a lot of things. This time I am ordered to accompany Your Highness!"

Yang Xiu said: "Dean Chen really found an opportunity!"

Chen Pingping said: "After all, I am the president of the Supervisory Council, so some opportunities are easy to find! I wonder when His Highness plans to set off!"

Yang Xiu said, "I haven't had enough fun yet! What, is Dean Chen planning to kick me out?"

Chen Pingping said: "I do have this plan. After all, His Highness is too uncontrollable in Kyoto!"

Yang Xiu said: "Sometimes I admire your honesty, but sometimes, I can't accept your honesty!"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Don't speak in secret in front of others! Even if I hide it, His Highness knows it well, right?"

Yang Xiu said, "That's enough! You don't have to rush me! Let's go the day after tomorrow! I heard there will be a poetry gathering at Yishiju tomorrow! It's said that it's organized by the top scholar of the last spring exam in Nanqing. I have to go and take a look!"
