Chapter 290 Letter

Walking back to the mansion.

Qin Keqing held back for a long time before she finally couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Xu, I heard you talking to Lord Zong Zheng. It seems that you already have enough evidence to bring down Gu and Zhao families. Then why…"

"Why haven't you attacked yet?" Xu Han blinked his eyes and looked at the confused girl beside him.

Xu Han's gaze made Qin Keqing somewhat flustered. She hurriedly staggered her gaze and nodded gently.

"If the meat doesn't rot, how can it attract flies, insects, and wolves?"

"Since Great Zhou has come to this point, a few of the royal clans have been able to get away with it. Today, I tricked them into boarding the war chariot of the Tian Ce Mansion. One day, when the Tian Ce Mansion is in danger, will they not leave us again? Rather than doing so, it would be better to have Zhu Shouzuo help us clean up all these future enemies."

Xu Han said with a deep gaze, his hands behind his back, looking rather bleak.

Hearing this, Qin Keqing's heart also trembled. In the battle for power, she was worried about me cheating. It seemed as if the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle, but her killing intent was lurking everywhere.

She did not know how Xu Han looked at the current situation, but to Qin Keqing, she was still unhappy.

Xu Han could tell from the expression on the girl's face that she was thinking like this. He smiled faintly and said, "This chess game is destined to be a life-and-death game from the moment I entered the game. Although I have no intention of doing so, in the game, I can only use it to the best of my ability in order to obtain a sliver of life."

Of course, Qin Keqing understood this reasoning. She frowned and nodded, not saying anything else.

…

Zong Zhengyu Wencheng's mansion was still some distance away from the Heavenly Policy Mansion. When Xu Han and Qin Keqing returned to the Heavenly Policy Mansion, the daytime noise inside the mansion had already disappeared. Other than the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers, there were no other sounds.

"Rest early." Xu Han glanced at Qin Keqing and said softly before pushing the door open.

"Brother Xu! Brother Xu!" However, at this moment, a hurried shout came from afar.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment. He followed the sound and saw a figure dressed in black walking quickly towards this place.

The night was getting dark. It was only when the man arrived at the mansion gate and borrowed the faint candlelight of the lanterns at the mansion gate that Xu Han could clearly see the appearance of the person who came. It was actually Meng Liang from the Chen Kingdom.

Xu Han did not have any deep friendship with Meng Liang. He vaguely felt that Young Master Meng's temperament was a little strange, but perhaps it was because he loved the house and loved the crow. Although he could not accept Meng Liang's temperament, he was still very kind to this cheap senior brother Xu Han.

"Lord Meng, why are you here so late?" Xu Han smiled as he cupped his hands and asked.

Xu Han's attitude was very polite and his tone was quite enthusiastic.

However, after Young Master Meng heard this, he was speechless and stammered for a long time before Xu Han finally understood that Meng Liang was here to find Fang Ziyu.

After hearing Meng Liang's meaning, Xu Han was slightly stunned. He did not suspect Meng Liang. It was just that it was not appropriate for him to come to find a woman at this hour, even in the Great Zhou, where the folk customs were fairly open.

At that time, Meng Liang's face turned red. Then he said, "I'm leaving Chang'an tomorrow … I just left with Ziyu …" Meng Liang paused for a moment, as if he remembered something unpleasant. His face turned red and he said, "Goodbye to Ziyu just now, so…"

Meng Liang could clearly see Fang Ziyu's thoughts, but Xu Han had no intention of stopping him, so he immediately nodded.

"En, then follow me." With that, he pushed open the door and led Meng Liang into the Tian Ce Mansion.

…

"You mean Ziyu hasn't returned yet?"

Inside the Tian Ce Mansion, Xu Han asked with a frown.

"Yes." Ye Hongjian, who was hastily dressed, nodded. Then, she looked at Meng Liang strangely and said, "I heard Mo'er say that she went out with Young Master Meng. I thought…"

Meng Liang waved his hand repeatedly, "Ziyu and I went out, but they separated before 11 o'clock. Ziyu and Xuanji were childhood sweethearts. You can't say this nonsense."

As Meng Liang spoke, his voice became softer and softer. Even though he tried his best to make his face look calm enough, everyone could still see his loneliness from his current expression.

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian was also slightly stunned. She was smart, so she naturally guessed a little. She was very alert and kept quiet at this moment.

"Brother Meng, do you mean that you separated from Ziyu more than an hour ago?" Xu Han also took a step forward and asked at that time, which could be considered to have changed the topic.

"Yes." Meng Liang nodded, but his brows furrowed tightly.

"Was there anything strange about Ziyu at that time? Uh… I mean, is it possible that she's just relaxing somewhere?" It seemed to Xu Han that Fang Ziyu might not be depressed if the two of them were to raise the topic, but for the sake of his cheap senior brother, he tried his best to express his meaning in a tactful manner.

"No." Meng Liang shook his head decisively, as if to make his words convincing enough, he said, "I did misunderstand Ziyu's meaning before, but after I knew it, I didn't."

Meng Liang said this. Although he had finished speaking, his meaning was largely understood by everyone.

At this moment, Young Master Meng's lonely appearance truly made people feel a little distressed.

Hearing this, Xu Han did not have the mood to care about what Meng Liang was thinking. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Hongjian!"

"Huh?"

"Send someone to the streets of Chang'an to look for Ziyu."

This order seemed to most people to be making a fuss, but Xu Han was slightly uneasy in his heart.

Although Fang Ziyu's temper had jumped a little, it was still far from being indecipherable. Not returning so late, although it was possible that it was just a whim, it was not certain if something really unexpected had happened.

Fang Ziyu was brought out of the Exquisite Pavilion, and he felt that he had an obligation to take responsibility for her.

Ye Hongjian also read this determination from Xu Han's gloomy expression. She was slightly stunned, but in the end, she still nodded her head and arranged for the people in the manor to leave the manor to look for Fang Ziyu.

…

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The vast army sent to search for Fang Ziyu returned to the Tian Ce Mansion.

"Did you find it?" Xu Han, who had just returned to the manor, stared at the surrounding manor armies with deep eyes.

Everyone shook their heads at that moment.

"It's so late, where can Ziyu go?" Everyone in Tiance Prefecture also realized the seriousness of the problem. Qin Keqing asked with a frown.

Xu Han shook his head and did not say anything. He faintly felt that this matter was probably related to the Long Night Division.

"Prefecture Head, someone has sent a letter from outside the Prefecture." At this moment, a Manor Army member hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of Xu Han.

"Who sent it?" Xu Han took the envelope and asked with deep eyes.

"When I found this letter, that person disappeared." The Manor Army responded.

Xu Han's heart trembled, and he didn't care about pursuing this matter anymore. He hurriedly opened the envelope and looked at it with deep eyes.

When he saw the handwriting on the letter, a dense hostile aura immediately appeared on Xu Han's eyebrows.
