C422 Submit to whomever

National Lord Wei looked at the empress dowager's expression and pulled her into his embrace. "Don't forget, he was the one who pushed you away all those years ago. Besides, he's already dead, who are you going to show him? " The National Lord Wei leaned on the empress dowager, looked into her eyes, and said.

The National Lord Wei was right. Back then, it was the Emperor who pushed her to the National Lord Wei, but the person she loved was the First Emperor, there was no way to remove her from her heart.

The National Lord Wei did not pursue this matter and asked: "Then do you know of any mysterious person that Shangguan Minghao came into contact with? For example, someone that even you don't know, or someone that you've never seen before? " National Lord Wei took note of the change in the empress dowager's expression, but did not notice anything abnormal.

The empress dowager was thinking, because in her memories, there was no such person. The only person who didn't know of his identity was that mysterious person, but if that person was loyal to her, would he be loyal to Shangguan Minghao? After all, Shangguan Minghao was the son of the First Emperor.

National Lord Wei watched as the empress dowager sank into her own thoughts. She was not in a hurry and waited slowly to see if she could think of anything.

"I still don't have an impression. My son recently came into contact with Fei Yan, but the others really didn't notice anything special. Furthermore, based on what you said, I think the emperor already knew about this matter, and might have gotten some clues recently."

When he mentioned how he was searching for the location of the book, Shangguan Minghao's reaction was obviously not too big. However, when it came to talking about the Divine Beasts, he was actually more excited, there was another possibility that Shangguan Minghao knew about the book.

I want to find that Divine Beasts, then bring you to that mysterious place as soon as possible. Even if I want to go, I feel like I'm going crazy! When National Lord Wei talked about that place, he seemed to be excited to the point of being obsessed.

The empress dowager looked at National Lord Wei's expression and shook her head helplessly. Back then, she had really made the wrong choice and missed out on her lover. Yet she had followed such a person, someone who wouldn't rest until she reached her goal.

"Alright, I'll be going first. That Old General Zhuo is acting a bit weird recently, I want to see what's going on." National Lord Wei got up and left with a leap, not giving the empress dowager even the slightest chance for warmth.

Empress Dowager couldn't help but laugh at herself. In the end, she was still an unimportant person in his heart.

Seeing the National Lord Wei leaving, Fei Yan, who was on the roof, did not stop and flew back to her own room. Recently, looking at her actions, he became more and more nervous, and did not know how her brother was going to react to it. Last time's matter, although she had intentionally made Shangguan Minghao angry, he was still a little worried that Zhuo Lei would worry about him.

"Have you guys investigated the situation? Has there been any activity in the National Lord Wei recently?" Hadn't the empress dowager and Shangguan Minghao always been testing their strength? It had to be said that Fei Yan's power was much higher than what the two of them had imagined. There were currently Fei Yan's men in the entire underworld, and normally these people would hide in the shadows and do some small business. In her opinion, it was a small business, but in some people's eyes, it was not, it was a business that was envied by everyone.

"Reporting to Mistress, besides staring at the table and thinking that Old General is preparing something, it seems like he is planning something. I do not know the intentions behind it yet!" A black-clothed man said.

Fei Yan heard the report of the room, and recalled the words that Fei Yan had heard from the roof earlier. She picked the most effective sentence, and then realized what it was possible to do.

"Keep an eye on them and don't make any big moves yet, but watch over these manpower and resources. If there's any news from me, I'll inform you. When that time comes, don't act rashly. Follow me, but don't alert the enemy!" Fei Yan wanted to play cat and mouse with his opponent, how could she let him be discovered before he even left the cave?

"Yes, everything will be arranged by Master!" The two of them knelt on the ground.

Fei Yan looked at the other person, and that person tactfully reported the situation: "Reporting to Master, Zi Yan did not report anything to Shangguan Minghao, and every time she reports, it doesn't matter. It seems as if she belongs to Master's side, but she doesn't seem to listen to Master's orders either!" The man didn't want to talk, so he just said whatever he wanted to say.

In fact, Fei Yan knew that Zi Yan wouldn't hurt him, but because of what happened last time, Xuan Hei had made her suspect Zi Yan. Now that she saw that Zi Yan wasn't hurt, who would she obey then? Was he really just Shangguan Minghao's subordinate?

"Alright, you should go down too. There's no need to watch her anymore, just remove her and leave. You should follow the movements of the National Lord Wei with Jun Xie and investigate why there's something strange going on with the Old General!" After Fei Yan finished instructing them, the two of them did not have anything else to do and directly left.

"What exactly does the National Lord Wei want to do? What are we going to do there? " Fei Yan was a little confused. She felt that all the hidden waves were already spreading towards the obvious places, like those crabs that had come out to bask in the sunlight. They looked bright and comfortable, but they would all be caught very quickly.

"Mistress, our investigation has been very tight recently!" Han reported to Zhuo Lei who was sitting opposite to him.

Zhuo Lei frowned, "I got it, he had already looked for us last time, and he already thought that we were going to rebel. I have always been unable to understand, who was the one who instigated Shangguan Minghao's thoughts, why did he think that our Zhuo Mansion would rebel?" He still couldn't understand this point. The master that he had always been loyal to protect actually thought of him as the one who wanted to hurt him.

"Don't care about him, we are just doing business, doing business, even if you want to investigate, you won't be able to find anything, furthermore, Shangguan Minghao is only thinking that we will rebel, but we just won't budge!" Zhuo Lei had a strange warm smile on his face.

Han knew that Zhuo Lei already had a response, so he didn't say anything more and followed his master's instructions. This was because he believed in Zhuo Lei.

Oh right, be careful when you send someone to investigate. We need to conserve our strength so that they won't be able to figure out our true strength!" If the other side did not know of his own situation, and if he knew of the actions of the other side, then the chances of the other side winning were rather small. Furthermore, he knew the recent actions of the Duke of Wei, even though the Emperor and the Duke of Wei had reached an agreement at some point, the two were not of the same mind. Zhuo Lei mentioned that this man wished he could tear him to pieces. His father was suffering in that place. This was also the "contribution" of the Duke of Wei. Ah!

"Don't worry Mistress. We are preparing to do a great deal this time, so naturally we have to be extremely cautious!" Han Li liked to take care of these bad people in his eyes. Only by doing that would he be able to face his former sisters.

Zhuo Lei looked at Han's expression and knew what had happened in the past. His face changed, he now knew Han's thoughts, "Han, now is not the time for you to fight, and prepare for it, we can't do anything, only when the other party attacks, do you know?" Zhuo Lei reminded them. Although he felt that doing this would be a bit useless, he had promised his father and the Zhuo Family had always called himself loyal and honest. If his generation were to be destroyed, the main sect would definitely not agree.

Han heart was in displeasure, but he could not disobey Zhuo Lei's words. "Yes, this subordinate understands! This subordinate will take his leave first. " Han Li felt slightly unhappy, so he felt a bit of panic and wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

Zhuo Lei nodded his head, "Go on, but first, call Zhuo Jun and the others over!"

Zhuo Lei felt that it was time to let them know a few things, otherwise, how could this Zhuo Mansion endure this long? If there was a day when she was no longer present, what would the brothers do?

"Big Brother, I heard from Han that you were looking for us?" Zhuo Wei had always been a unstable person, she was shocked at any moment without growing up at all.

"Big brother …"

The other three people had a much better relationship due to their personality. Adding Zhuo Jun, they could be considered as someone who was usually able to shoulder a big responsibility in their family.

"Hmm, since you're here, sit down. We brothers have something to discuss with each other!" The rest of you go down first! " With Zhuo Lei's attitude, everyone could tell that the matter was not simple.

"Let's first talk. Whatever it is that I want to say later, don't be surprised or excited. Also, promise me not to say a single word of what you said today!" Zhuo Lei cautiously opened her mouth again. He knew that other than Ol 'Two, his other brothers were not able to keep her promise, and the other two looked a little young. They might not be sensible, and might not even know that they were tricked by others.

"Don't worry, big brother. We know that even though our brothers are not usually calm, this is still considered an ordinary military command. We are all soldiers, so we can do it!" Seeing Zhuo Lei's serious expression, Zhuo Jun knew that this was no trivial matter. Turning his head to look at his brothers, he could be considered to understand his brothers, and said with certainty.

Hearing Zhuo Jun's guarantee, Zhuo Lei immediately brought the topic to the heart of the matter.

"Do you know why I appeared at home at this point in time? Back then, Father did not want me to call myself the Zhuo Mansion?" Zhuo Lei was naturally not asking them to say that she was weak. Yes, he was weak, but that was not enough for such a reason to claim that she was a member of their clan.

The few of them shook their heads, they understood that they could not just say that Zhuo Lei was weak.

"It's because Father predicted what would happen today. A Daoist monk told Father that if he wanted to survive, he would need to bring him out. How old is he before he can return home?"

Zhuo Lei looked at the few of them with puzzled expressions, and then continued, "But when I was almost that age, because Shangguan Minghao was tricked by the empress dowager and the National Lord Wei, he lost to father on the expedition. Actually, it wasn't a complete defeat, it was just a scheme to capture father." Zhuo Lei was also a little bitter when he said this.

"Actually, father had also expected that during that expedition, but I don't know why he was caught that easily, but I have never been able to understand this point. Actually, we still have a sister, this point that no one knows, and it is likely that she is Fei Yan too, because Fei Yan was born with a myriad of strange occurrences. At that time, that monk also calculated a death for his sister, which is why there is a situation that you all don't know about, and that sister is my sister Fei Yan, the current empress, whom you all already know about, at that time you all thought he was my sworn sister! Actually, her true identity is also someone from our Zhuo Mansion, our sister! " Zhuo Lei told his own background to his brothers.
