"Dead again?" Cheng Jin revealed a surprised face.

The Hidden Arrow Crew said, "Yes, General, the jailer died in his own home. In addition, the jailer's old mother and children are also dead, and their corpses are tied with ropes. From the looks of it, the enemy was using the jailer's old mother and children as a threat, forcing him to poison the assassin before killing them to silence them."

Cheng Jin nodded, agreeing with his subordinate's analysis, he muttered: "Such a ruthless method!" Pausing for a moment, he then asked, "Did the neighbors not hear anything at all?"

"Subordinate has already checked and found nothing."

Sigh! Cheng Jin sighed secretly, and then said to Tang Yin: "Great King, it seems that this line has been broken again. It is your subordinate who has failed in his duty to protect you, resulting in the death of two assassins who were poisoned. Saying that, Cheng Jin knelt down, and the Hidden Arrow Crew followed suit.

Cheng Jin might have failed in his duties, but the other party was just too cunning and vicious. Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Get up! Even though the assassin is dead, the dead can still talk sometimes. You can go and examine the corpse and find out what poison was in the assassin's body.

Oh? This was something Cheng Jin had never expected. He took poison in the afternoon but died in the afternoon. It was a very overbearing and chronic poison. It was rare to see such a poison. At least it wasn't something that a prison guard could easily get. Cheng Jin's eyes lit up, he anxiously stood up and interfered: Thank you for your reminder, your subordinate will go and check.

"I'm going to Bessar soon. I hope you can find out what happened before you come back."

"This subordinate will do my best to not disappoint the King!"

That night, Tang Yin found Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. His journey to Bessa was a long one, and he had no idea how many days he would be gone for, so he had no choice but to account for his Yan City.

Qiu Zhen arrived first, Shangguan Yuanji followed closely behind. Upon seeing Tang Yin, the two bowed and greeted him.

Tang Yin let the two people stand up and indicated for them to sit by his side. Then, he asked them to bring some tea. He held the teacup in his hand and drank the tea as he said, "While I am away from the Yan City, I will entrust all military affairs of the Imperial Court to you two."

Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji's expressions became serious as they said at the same time, "This humble subject will not disgrace your majesty."

Tang Yin laughed, then sighed lightly and said worriedly: "Your Yan City have been unstable recently, and assassins are rampant. You two must not be careless, and go out as little as possible and stay at home more often." Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were both his hands, and also the two pillars of the Feng Country Court.

"I have informed Lei Zhen, and have me assign some more capable and capable brothers to guard the camp to ensure that nothing will happen."

From the king's words, he could tell how much the king valued him. Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were moved, they revealed emotions and the two of them knelt on the mat, cupped their hands and bowed, and said: "Thank you, Great King for your kindness."

Tang Yin waved his hand, allowing the two of them to not need to be courteous, he continued: "Although Prime Minister Qiu does not care about government affairs, but after all, she is an knowledgeable and knowledgeable man, and has a lot of experience and ideas, if Yuanji meets with a big problem, she needs to discuss it with Prime Minister Qiu before making a decision, and vice versa, if there is anything big happening in the military, Prime Minister Qiu should also look for Yuanji to discuss it."

At first, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji didn't realize Tang Yin's true intention. They bowed and agreed without thinking, and then, when they left the palace, they carefully thought over Tang Yin's words. They both understood that the King's true intention was for the two prime ministers to restrain each other and not for the other to dominate the military.

However, the two of them could understand Tang Yin's actions, this was also what a Sovereign King should do, both of them were secretly happy, from this they could see that the King still valued her position, at least right now, he did not have any intentions of giving up.

In the study room, Tang Yin handed over the things he was currently doing and waiting to be done to Qiu Zhen and Qiu Zhen, and asked the two of them to do it for him. After he finished arranging the proper matters, Tang Yin heaved a long sigh of relief, and felt much more relaxed all of a sudden.

At this time, Qiu Zhen curiously asked, "May I ask who Great King is bringing along to Bessar?"

Tang Yin had not thought of this question before, and asked back: "What do you think, Prime Minister Qiu?"

"General Cheng Jin and General Jiang Fan can assume the heavy responsibility of protecting the King."

Tang Yin nodded his head, then shook it and said: "Cheng Jin cannot come with me, I still need him to stay behind to take care of the Yan City, Jiang Fan is fine with that."

With Jiang Fan around, it would also be very comforting. Qiu Zhen did not speak further. Shangguan Yuanji then continued: "Imperial Minister Lu She, you have a keen reaction and meticulous thinking, you can advise the King."

Tang Yin had an extremely deep impression of the Lu She Shangguan Yuanji that was mentioned. It was he who had sent out his Ning Country, and with an unremarkable ability, successfully convinced that his Ning Country was not in the Wind Slaying Alliance, causing his Feng Country to weaken by a large amount. He nodded his head and said, "It's good to have Master Lu to accompany me."

Under the recommendation of Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, Tang Yin decided to bring Jiang Fan to the Martial General Palace. Of course, he was on his way to escort the bride. Shangguan Yuanji had already prepared these, and brought too few people, making it seem that they were not honorable enough, but not too many, so as to make Bessa feel threatened. Furthermore, he had to bring too many betrothal gifts as well.

Tang Yin took the list and looked at it. There were really a lot of things on the list, including silk, silk, satin, gold, silver and jewelry. After he read it, he asked: "Yuanji, isn't there a bit more betrothal presents?"

"This will show the King's importance in marrying the princess of Bessar." Shangguan Yuanji said with a smile.

Tang Yin shook his head and laughed, then threw the list on the table and said: "The two of you are my left and right prime ministers, and also my left and right hands, I will leave everything for you to handle!"

"Yes!" "Great King!"1

Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji bowed in agreement.

After chatting for a while longer, seeing that it was not early, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji took their leave.

After leaving the manor, the two of them did not return to their homes and instead went together with each other. Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were both prime ministers, and were both Tang Yin's most trusted aides, but the chance to meet them was not bad, as they were usually too busy, other than in the imperial court, they rarely got together in private.

This time, the two of them wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat and listen to each other's views on certain matters. Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji had the same thoughts, and unanimously proposed to go to the teahouse near the Duke Palace to have a seat. The two of them booked a private room in the teahouse and chatted as they drank tea and ate snacks.

"Yuanji, do you think that the King's trip will be dangerous?" Qiu Zhen got down to business first and asked.

Shangguan Yuanji raised his head, holding his chin and thought for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Probably not."

"Oh?" Qiu Zhen was startled, and asked: "Why is Yuanji so sure?"

Bessa is becoming increasingly close to our country. Many of the benefits of both sides have already been combined, especially with respect to the influential figures of Bessa, they have frequently engaged in business with our country. If the two countries were to get into conflict with each other, the first thing that would be harmed would be the benefits of the powerful lords of Bessa.

Qiu Zhen thoughtfully nodded his head, and then asked: "Is Bessar not closely related to Dookie?"

Shangguan Yuanji laughed and said: "As an ally and a neighbour of the Kingdom, the trade of Bessa and Dookie should be even more frequent, but the truth is the complete opposite. What Bessa has, there should be Dookie as well, and what Dookie do, there is no lack of Baisa either, adding to the fact that the two countries are separated by a vast desert and thus have a high risk of doing business, high cost, and low in profits, so the two nations' trade has always been mediocre."

"So that's how it is." Qiu Zhen now more or less understood why the trade between Bessa and Feng Country was so swift.

Shangguan Yuanji continued, "There is still a second reason why Beisa would lean towards our country."

"Oh? "What is it?"

"Bessa and Dookie were both established to expand to the outside world. The reason why the two countries are friendly is because they wanted to reduce their own worries. The alliance between the two countries is not strong, I can guarantee that ?" Shangguan Yuanji smiled as he held up his teacup. He raised his head, drained all the tea in the cup, and then said faintly while fiddling with the cup: "If Beisa has the chance, she will swallow the Dookie without hesitation!"

Qiu Zhen's eyes lit up and his heart was moved as well. He said thoughtfully: "This means that right now, this is an opportunity for Bei Sa."

"Ha ha!" Shangguan Yuanji laughed, looked around, and said: "There is still one missing person in this room."

"Who?"

"Lu She." Shangguan Yuanji laughed and said, "Since you want him to go with your majesty to Beisa, why don't you find him and listen to his opinions?"

Qiu Zhen also laughed, and said while clapping his hands: "Yuanji is right! Someone come! " Following Qiu Zhen's summons, a follower pushed open the door and cupped his hands: "What orders do Prime Minister have?"

"Quickly go and invite Master Lu Lu She here, tell him that Prime Minister Shangguan and I have come."

"Yes!" Prime Minister! " The follower acknowledged, turned around, and quickly left.

After almost an hour, Lu She rushed over to the teahouse. It was rare for him to be summoned by two prime ministers, so Lu She was extremely serious.

Entering the private box, Lu She walked to the front of Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, and politely bowed to them, and said: "This official greets Prime Minister Qiu, Prime Minister Shangguan."

Qiu Zhen smiled without saying a word, but Shangguan Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Master Lu does not need to be courteous, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister Shangguan." Lu She carefully sat by the side of the two.

Shangguan Yuanji did not beat around the bush and directly said, "Master Lu, I just recommended to the King that you accompany the King to Bessa. I don't know if you are willing?"

Lu She was startled at first, then he stood up hastily and bowed towards Shangguan Yuanji, saying: "This lowly one thanks the Prime Minister for her kind treatment." Being able to travel with the King was something that many officials wished for, and it was also a good opportunity for him to soar into the heavens.
