After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 467…

Liu Qiuwu also realized the seriousness of the situation. He told Ling Chuan that he had rarely come into contact with Prince Xian's people since he offered the medicine. Although the old emperor had relaxed his vigilance towards him, the emperor's mind was unpredictable. Even though he was now focused on criticizing his sons who had stretched their hands too far, who could guarantee that he would really no longer doubt them?

In extraordinary times, caution is the best policy. Prince Xian is a thoughtful person and he understands this point. If it were them, they would definitely not contact each other unless necessary, so as to avoid being caught and making it difficult to save the situation.

The three of them had a secret conversation inside the house, and they felt relieved because their own people were guarding outside.

Ling Chuan put his finger into the teacup, drew a circle on the table, looked up at the two of them, and said, "This is the capital, the most important and impregnable place in the entire Great Abyss. Those with ulterior motives want to control it from the inside and then cooperate with the outside to turn it into the hardest shell. In fact, it is vice versa."

Ling Chuan drew a water mark outside the circle with his finger, nodded, and continued: "Except for those who have already sneaked in, this is their reliance. Their external aid all comes from here. So, if this place is controlled by our people, the capital will become an indestructible prison, and they will be the birds in the cage."

A fierce fight will be inevitable at that time, but as long as Dayuan is still controlled by its own people, the victory or defeat of this battle will be determined.

Liu Qiuwu's eyes were bright and his tone was slightly raised: "Are you saying that this is the real purpose of the King of Idleness?"

"Yeah." Ling Chuan nodded and said, "After thinking about it, I think it's very likely that neither your family nor the Shen family has fallen into their trap. The fact that Prince Qiao and his son pretended to surrender to the Ming Dynasty but actually cooperated with them to use the eldest prince can't be concealed for long. Once the chess pieces in their hands backfire, it will not be as simple as three to five years to accomplish the task. Therefore, it is important to seize the initiative. Now, whoever discovers the initiative first will be the winner."

Hua Chaoxue is the opportunity they gave to Prince Xian. As long as Prince Xian can make the best use of it, no matter how powerful Jin Xuhua is, he will not be able to turn the tide.

Li Jingran looked at Ling Chuan in surprise and said, "How did you know so much? Hiss, if that's true, then Qiu Wu, you should be careful. Those thieves have failed repeatedly, and I'm afraid they will be desperate and set their sights on you."

Li Jingran looked at Liu Qiuwu worriedly. His worry was not unreasonable. In the eyes of others, Liu Qiuwu had made an indispensable contribution to the old emperor's recovery. He had also offended them severely before. With these new and old grudges, if Prince Xian really cut off their external aid and trapped them in this cage, they might really end up in a situation where both sides were destroyed.

Liu Qiuwu was ready to face danger the moment he decided to get involved. He glanced at Li Jingran soothingly and said gently, "I will be careful. Don't worry. Maybe they don't want me to die. After all, my life is more valuable. My parents..."

Liu Qiuwu turned his eyes to Ling Chuan, and Ling Chuan said, "Don't worry, Elders. I dare not say anything else, but I can assure you that nothing will happen to them."

"That's good, thank you very much." Liu Qiuwu smiled. For no reason, he felt that Ling Chuan's guarantee was very credible.

Li Jingran: "So what are the plans next? We can't just sit there and watch, right?"

Ling Chuan: "For now, we can only wait. As long as things are confirmed, I will do my best to help Prince Xian. You also need to take precautions to avoid being in a hurry. My husband said that we hope we can have a reunion dinner together next year."

Hearing this, Liu Qiuwu lost his serious expression, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I will."

Li Jingran also smiled and said, "I heard that you all have a son, and he's pretty good looking. When the time comes, he'll have to call me uncle, and I'll give him a big gift."

"Then don't be stingy." Ling Chuan said. Anyway, he was not asked to call him uncle. The child could call him uncle if he wanted. It was fine to call him whatever he wanted. As long as this major issue at hand was solved satisfactorily, their family would have no worries in the future. They just needed to educate the child well.

The three of them chatted about family matters for a while, and the atmosphere became less solemn, before returning to the main topic, mainly analyzing the news that Liu Qiuwu brought back.

They talked for a long time. It's not that there were no spies in the mansion, but they couldn't get close at all. In the end, they had to watch a show deliberately performed for them. It was nothing more than a business deficit. Li Jingran complained that Liu Qiuwu was not at home every other day, and Liu Qiuwu said that he was ignorant.

They had a small quarrel on the first night, a cold war on the second day, and on the third day, both of them couldn't sit still. One bought a gift for the other when he left the court, and the other went to the restaurant and spent a lot of money to ask the host to let the chef teach him how to make pastries. Then, the two reconciled...

When receiving the reports from their subordinates, the old emperor, Jin Xuhua and others were silent. They didn't believe that there was no trick, but the problem was that they couldn't find anything substantial, so they could only keep watching.

They attracted some attention, and the Shen family was Jin Xuhua's main focus. Apart from them, there were several princes. As for Liujia Village, Jin Xuhua also sent people there, but no news was sent back, which means that Ling Chuan and his young husband had not returned to the village.

Jin Xuhua did suspect that Ling Chuan might have secretly brought people to Beijing, but they were hidden by Liu Qiuwu and they did not find out. But on second thought, Jin Xuhua felt that even if they entered Beijing, it would not be of much use. Although Liu Qiuwu had the upper hand on the surface, he was also restricted in many ways.

They were all the same, being restrained.

"Has the Shen family taken any action?" Jin Xuhua asked the subordinate who was following them.

The subordinate replied: “No.”

Jin Xuhua narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Humph, they are quite patient. It's true, only a few people died. I want to see how long they can endure."

The snow in the capital city is getting heavier and heavier, everything is covered in white, and the days are becoming more and more torturous.

The first incident occurred in Lingguang Temple, where someone attempted to kidnap the two elders of the Liu family, but failed. After that, Liu Qiuwu was kept in the palace for longer and longer periods of time, and a lot of guards were added to the periphery of Lingguang Temple, all of whom were surrounded by a murderous aura and had extraordinary skills.

The two elders of the Liu family were terrified, but they could only pray silently for the gods and Buddhas to protect them.

Xia Mo also contributed that night. If he hadn't made some noise, these people wouldn't have been discovered so quickly.

The main reason was that Xia Mo didn't want to move. He was worried that the two elders would cause a lot of unnecessary troubles after being moved, so he used their help to stop them.

As for who sent these people, it doesn’t matter. Even if it was Qiao Ruicheng, Xia Mo would at most apologize, but it would be better for him to keep an eye on the people himself.

Xia Mo had already made up his mind. If anyone wanted to take the two elders away, he would immediately knock that person out and put them into the space to take them away from here.

Time flows quietly, the situation becomes chaotic and increasingly unclear.

The mobile population in the capital seemed to become denser, with scholars and businessmen accounting for the majority.

Until one day when the weather was fine, Li Jingran went to buy food and saw a customer showing off his starling. The starling was well raised and it uttered a string of auspicious words when it opened its mouth, which attracted everyone's love. They all envied the bird's owner and some even asked him if he was willing to give it up.

The bird's owner was naturally unwilling, saying that he had worked hard to raise such a treasure. If you want it, I can tell you where to buy it.

Someone laughed and teased him, saying that he must have received benefits from others. The bird owner smiled but said nothing, believing it or not.

Li Jingran was not in a good mood, but someone asked him to follow while a group of people were chatting and laughing.

Li Jingran hesitated for a moment, but still went.
