Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Dai Mubai's residence.

The Spirit Hall's sudden attack caused Davis to suffer heavy losses.

But don't forget, Dai Tianfeng had already decided in his heart that Davis should inherit his position.

With the help of Yu Xiaogang and others, Dai Mubai has been handling government affairs in an orderly manner these days. Logically speaking, Dai Tianfeng should pay more attention to him.

But the reality was quite the opposite. Dai Tianfeng restricted the power in his hands, and Dai Mubai was even excluded from some political discussions.

Yu Xiaogang and the others weren't fools; they immediately realized what Dai Tianfeng was thinking.

Poseidon Island has been destroyed. Once the Spirit Hall puts the resources it plundered into practical use, a continental war will inevitably break out.

Davis's current confinement is, in a way, a form of protection by Dai Tianfeng.
Once the continental war begins, given Davis's prestige in the military, he will undoubtedly become a vanguard general. After he accumulates sufficient prestige, even if Dai Mubai uses every means at his disposal, he will likely be unable to shake him in the slightest.

Unconsciously, this further strengthened Yu Xiaogang and others' resolve to launch a palace coup.

In the study, Tang San and his group gathered together to discuss their next plan.

"The Spirit Hall's sudden attack on Davis must mean that they haven't reached an agreement on some interests," Tang Xiao analyzed. "Even if Dai Tianfeng's preferred successor is Davis, things have developed to this point, which is very advantageous for us."

The Spirit Hall's falling out with Davis will inevitably reduce its attention to the Star Luo Dynasty in the short term.

For them, this was a golden opportunity; they had to seize the throne in one fell swoop. By the time the Spirit Hall realized what was happening, everything was already set in stone and could not be changed.

However, Dai Tianfeng and his wife were already quite powerful, and the White Tiger Legion was stationed outside Xingluo City. If anything happened in the palace, the White Tiger Legion could arrive to provide support within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

With the strength of Tang San and his companions, even the White Tiger Legion couldn't do anything to them.

However, force cannot solve everything.

The imperial city is full of Dai Tianfeng's confidants. They cannot occupy the palace in a short time. Under Dai Tianfeng's instructions, these confidants will inevitably seek help from other forces.

Once the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall intervene, the nature of the palace coup will change.

Tang San said in a deep voice, "I am still some distance away from breaking through to level 99, and I cannot guarantee when I will break through."

"If I can break through level 100, taking over the Star Luo Imperial Palace won't be a problem. But we can't afford to delay, so we should act as soon as possible. My great-grandmother and I are strong enough to take down Dai Tianfeng and his wife in a short time!"

"However, the interests of the royal family are complex and intertwined. If we cannot get the support of the Zhu family, it may be troublesome."

Zhu Zhuqing was not invited to this conversation.

Regarding the Zhu family, Yu Xiaogang held a different opinion: "Xiao San, Zhu Qing's condition has been somewhat strange lately."

"Previously, when I discussed the palace coup plan with Mu Bai, she seemed distracted the whole time."

“She represents the interests of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family has always been a neutral party that upholds imperial rule. It is unlikely that they would join us in the palace coup.”

"Compared to Zhu Zhuqing, the current empress can secure more benefits for the Zhu family. If the Zhu family learns of the palace coup, they are likely to sell the information to Dai Tianfeng in exchange for even more benefits."

Dai Mubai's face darkened, and he roared, "Damn Zhu Qing! How dare she harbor disloyal thoughts! If the Zhu family is unwilling to assist me, then kill them!"

This is what I was waiting for.

Tang Xiao chuckled and interrupted, "Mu Bai, there's no need for that. Right now, we don't know what Zhu Zhuqing is thinking. To be on the safe side, let's not tell her the specific plans for the palace coup for the time being."

"If she behaves normally, the Zhu family can stay in the future; otherwise, she must be eliminated."

Dai Mubai had no objection to this. Or rather, he had already fallen into the trap carefully laid by Tang Xiao and the others, and was simply unable to refuse.

However, in order for the palace coup to end smoothly, the spread of the news must be contained in a short period of time.

The first person they needed to bribe was the head of the palace guards.

With Tang Xiao and his group's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to accomplish all this, but it wouldn't be easy to deceive Dai Tianfeng.

……

Zhu Zhuqing locked himself in his study and no longer participated in any political affairs.

She was conflicted.

She was able to stay by Dai Mubai's side because she harbored some fantasies about becoming Empress. However, if all of this was built on the destruction of the Zhu family, then it would be a losing proposition.

Just as I was feeling melancholy, a pigeon suddenly flew in through the study window.

Zhu Zhuqing didn’t notice anything different at first, but she noticed by chance that a small bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon’s leg.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that these were not ordinary pigeons, but homing pigeons carefully bred by someone.

Poseidon and her group were inside the mansion at the moment. If someone were to sneak into the mansion, it would be impossible to escape their senses. However, pigeons were not spirit beasts, but just ordinary small animals. Countless pigeons flew over the mansion every day, so naturally no one would pay attention to the movements of these little guys.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was unsure about one thing. Was the letter delivered by the pigeon meant for her, or did it arrive by accident?

Driven by curiosity, she eventually took down the letter and, by the light of the candle, read its contents.

This short letter did not indicate its origin, but its contents were indeed addressed to Zhu Zhuqing.

The letter writer seemed to know Zhu Zhuqing's current situation and her worries. Furthermore, they indicated that the Haotian Sect would definitely force Dai Mubai to deal with the Zhu family.

Once you find out about the Haotian Sect's plot to stage a palace coup, it won't be difficult to guess what Zhu Zhuqing is thinking.

The Zhu family's stance has always been clear: they will only support the emperor. Even if Dai Mubai were to ascend the throne after the palace coup, the benefits he could bring to the Zhu family would be minimal. The Zhu family would not only not participate, but would actually help Dai Tianfeng and his wife.

In that case, why would Dai Mubai keep the Zhu family?

The letter came from the Spirit Hall, but Zhu Zhuqing is unaware of that at the moment.

The letter did not specify the meeting place, only stating that they would send someone to contact Zhu Zhuqing after she left the residence.

In addition, children playing outside the courtyard accidentally threw a small package into the yard, which happened to land in Zhu Zhuqing's study.

After Zhu Zhuqing picked it up, she opened the bundle, and inside lay a pair of soul-guided glasses.

According to the letter, these soul-guided glasses are the tools used for rendezvous between the two parties.

Zhu Zhuqing dared not show anything too unusual and quietly put the glasses into her soul tool.

After a short while, she sat down at her desk and began to think.

First of all, she had never told anyone that Dai Mubai was about to launch a palace coup, nor had she revealed her true feelings to anyone. Why was the other party so clear about her thoughts?
This point is already questionable. If the other party is setting a trap by Dai Mubai, wouldn't it lead the Zhu family to utter ruin if they act rashly?

After much deliberation, Zhu Zhuqing finally decided to go out and meet the other party.

As long as she doesn't admit to what was in the letter, even if it's a trap set by Dai Mubai, so what? (End of Chapter)
