C156 Ally

The reason why Duan Shuang did not see Jiegeng and Yang Lanqing was because of Jiegeng's intention. More importantly, there was a distinguished guest in the Imperial Residence.

"How could Prince Hsing be so free? He has just entered the Palace to meet the Emperor and has already come to my Zhen'an King's Mansion?"

"It is only right to visit an old friend!" Hsing Zheng smiled, "Ever since we parted in the Central Prefecture, we have not seen each other for a long time. What? You don't welcome me? "Hsing Zheng was wearing a luxurious robe and had an extraordinary bearing. He had a completely different style from the handsome man in the Central Prefecture.

"Visiting is fake, isn't it true to find out the truth?" Duan Shuang smiled.

"You are still the same as before. You are so direct." Hsing Zheng shook his head helplessly. "Originally, I planned to play emotional cards. Now it seems that it is not possible."

Duan Shuang did not reply and quietly waited for him to continue.

"Since you have such foresight, why don't you guess what I am here for?"

"You came to the capital just to calm down the internal strife in Qi Country." Duan Shuang said casually.

However, his words made Hsing Zheng's expression change.

"How did you know? This is a secret matter of my dynasty. You?" Hsing Zheng subconsciously took half a step back, "You actually planted someone in our palace?"

"Otherwise, do you think I would just let you enter our Great Yan without doing anything?"

Hsing Zheng laughed at himself after hearing this, "Everyone says that Zhen'an King has already left the Imperial Court because of his severe injuries. But... The truth is not as simple as it seems. First of all, the fact that you lost your inner energy is a huge lie. " Even though he was a few feet away from Duan Shuang, Hsing Zheng could already feel Duan Shuang's endless and vigorous inner energy.

Something was not right!

Hsing Zheng immediately realized that something was not right. This inner energy seemed to be intentionally letting him know.

"You went through so much trouble to hide it from everyone, but you let me know the truth. Is this a settlement? I don't think it's because of the friendship we had before."

"Not only do I know the purpose of your trip, I also know your goal. Coincidentally, our goal is the same. In that case, you and I will be the best allies."

Duan Shuang's words made Hsing Zheng even more afraid of Duan Shuang. The plan that he thought was thorough was actually seen through by outsiders?

"Oh, is that so?" Hsing Zheng had been tricked by Duan Shuang once before, so he must be even more careful this time.

"The reason you came here is nothing more than to get rid of the spies you left behind in Great Yan."

After hearing this, Hsing Zheng immediately laughed out loud, "If they are really spies from Qi Country, why would I need to get rid of them?"

"Originally, they were able to plant spies in the imperial court of the Great Yan so deeply. To your Qi Country, this is indeed a good thing. However, these spies are in the hands of those who have the intention to rebel in the Qi Country. For you, the Crown Prince, this has become a thorn in your heart."

Hsing Zheng retracted his smile, and his eyes were filled with great waves.

Duan Shuang saw Hsing Zheng's reaction, and his expression became even more calm.

"Those spies, you should have been in Xing Jiang's hands. However, he was definitely not the only one who plotted this in the past, right?" Duan Shuang had personally experienced the competition for the throne. He was no stranger to these methods.

" The other person is the current Prince Regent of Qi Country, Xing Jian. "

Duan Shuang paused for a moment and continued, "When Xing Jiang's deeds in Great Yan were exposed, these spies were naturally transferred to Xing Jian. They lost to your father in the fight for the throne because of their scheme. Now, in Qi Country, the Prince Regent's power is increasing day by day. What you have to do is to gradually cut off his wings."

Hsing Zheng smiled and continued.

"Now, we can still suppress him in Qi Country. However, once he obtains the power of the Great Yan... We can consider ourselves as enemies from both inside and outside. After all, his spies were really powerful. They had actually instigated the rebellion of a deep-rooted major family in the Great Yan. You should know which family I'm talking about, right?"

" Of course I know. "

Hsing Zheng could have deterred Duan Shuang from doing so, but he didn't expect Duan Shuang to be so calm and composed.

"So, you and I are the best allies!" Duan Shuang lowered his head, "I think you came here today to form an alliance with me, right?"

Hsing Zheng nodded.

"The plan of forming an alliance this time should be when we first met. You have made up your mind, right?"

After Hsing Zheng heard this, he let out a long sigh, "If only you and I were from the same country, you would definitely be my close friend."

"Great Yan has never planned to invade Qi Country. As long as Qi Country doesn't cause trouble, I believe that Great Yan and Qi Country will be the best allies."

"If that's the case, it's really urgent to get rid of that Imperial Uncle of mine. One should know that the wars that have been launched repeatedly were all because of him."

Duan Shuang walked up to him and said, "For the sake of the stability of the two countries, this alliance is the will of heaven."

Then, he handed a cup of tea to Hsing Zheng and said," Using tea as wine, you don't mind, do you? "

Hsing Zheng took the cup of tea without hesitation. "You are injured, so you naturally understand!"

Then, both of them drank the tea in one gulp at the same time.

When Jiegeng came in, the two of them had already started chatting.

"Lan Hong!" Jiegeng exclaimed, "Why are you here?"

"Jiegeng, long time no see. I really miss you." Xing Zheng was also beaming with joy.

Hearing this, Duan Shuang's face darkened a little.

"No, I should call you the Qi Country's Crown Prince!" Jiegeng immediately glared at him. "Why are you from the Qi Country here? What is the purpose of hiding your identity by our side?"

Hsing Zheng immediately became troubled and said to Duan Shuang, "Jiegeng seems to have misunderstood me. Why don't you explain it to me?"

"What is there to explain?" ___ asked. Jiegeng angrily walked in front of Hsing Zheng and said, "Let's not talk about how your surname Xing lied to my grandfather eight years ago. You harmed the people of the capital. In the recent years of war in City L, you killed and abducted innocent people. What else is there to say!"

"This..." Hsing Zheng really had something to say at this moment.

"Duan Shuang, I'll take my leave first. As for the specific situation... Please explain it to me." Hsing Zheng did not want to have a direct confrontation with Jiegeng because of their previous friendship. He felt like he was running away after leaving a message to Duan Shuang.

Duan Shuang nodded and asked the butler to send Hsing Zheng out.

"Jiegeng, at this moment the two countries have already stopped fighting. He is currently using his identity as the Qi Country's Crown Prince to openly come and meet the Emperor. Don't have any ideas about him in private. If anything happens to him in the Great Yan, it will cause a war between the two countries." Duan Shuang was worried that Jiegeng would secretly do something to him, so he immediately reminded her.

"Alright, I got it!" It could not be denied that Jiegeng really understood the Distorted Brain Scripture just now.
