It was not only Chong Yuu who felt nervous, even more so, the person who stood behind Chong Yuu, Sang Zhong. Sang Zhong's hand had already quickly grabbed onto the sword hilt beside him, as though the moment Chong Yuu cried out, Sang Zhong would not hesitate to attack.
Who was Zhao Yuannan, even though he was clutching onto Chong Yuu's neck, his gaze was still fixated on Sang Zhong. All these years in the palace, he had long since trained to be able to see and hear everything. He let go of the opportunity, as if he had verified his hypothesis.
Chong Yuu collapsed onto the ground, holding onto his neck and coughing continuously, his face immediately turned extremely red. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Zhao Yuannan in grief. It was unknown if her eyes were filled with gratitude or fear.
In the next moment, Zhao Yuannan's fingertip had already lightly lifted her exquisite lower jaw, meeting her pair of teary red eyes. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Sang Zhong, who was extremely nervous. With a cold smile, he said, "The two of you are in cahoots, how could I trust you? With this weakness in your hands, there might be a day when I will become the second Fu Shengquan. "
"No!" "No way!" Chong Yuu shouted, "If this uncle does not want to believe Chong Yuu, Chong Yuu is willing to die, and not dirty this uncle's hands!" Saying that, she suddenly rushed over and pulled out Sang Zhong's sword, causing Sang Zhong to shout out in shock, and quickly held down Chong Yuu's hand.
"Are you crazy?" Sang Zhong shouted with both of his eyes bloodshot. Sang Zhong seemed to have realized that Zhao Yuannan was still here, and that he couldn't go overboard. He immediately lowered his voice and said to Chong Yuu in a low voice, "Eunuch still hasn't spoken, why are you so anxious? What do you want to die for? " He fiercely grabbed back the sword in Chong Yuu's hands, returned it to its sheath with a bang, and respectfully kneeled in front of Zhao Yuannan, "Eunuch, this humble servant and Chong Yuu are from the same village, and this lowly subordinate can swear that this old servant vows to be loyal to Eunuch for the rest of his life, and would definitely not have any second thoughts. If I were to go against these words, I will be struck by lightning and will die a miserable death! "
Zhao Yuannan stared at Chong Yuu, Chong Yuu's eyes were filled with hope. He was slightly startled and suddenly thought of himself. The way he looked at Zhao Jing seemed to be the same. Because he was filled with hope, he could not help but bet all his life's gambling on someone else. This in itself was a very sad thing, but doing it was such a happy and enjoyable thing.
"Stand up!" Zhao Yuannan sat down again, withdrew the expression between his eyebrows and spoke indifferently, "Since you are willing to follow this one, this one will definitely not treat you unfairly. From now on, you must properly do business for me, understand? "
"Yes sir!" Sang Zhong and Chong Yuu said at the same time.
Zhao Yuannan exhaled a long breath, "I don't know how other people managed to get this position, but I do know how much suffering and suffering I have endured in order to get this position." He looked at the two people in front of him coldly, "Both of you know very well that you should have a reason for what you should say and what you should do. "If you offend my taboo one day, don't blame me for not thinking about my old friendship."
"Understood!" Chong Yuu bowed, his throat was somewhat dry and hoarse, "I ask that Young Master is at ease."
Zhao Yuannan caressed the armrest of his chair, his eyes cold. "Remember, not only are you guys doing things for this commoner, you're all loyal to the Emperor. If you dare to betray your master, I will let you know what regret is. "
"Yes sir!" Sang Zhong bowed, "As you command!"
Zhao Yuannan laughed, his laugh was filled with killing intent. Since he was seated as the Imperial Palace Services Office Master, the first thing he needed to do was to bathe his Imperial Palace Services Office in blood. All those who were related to Fu Shengquan had to silently disappear. Of course, they could not suddenly disappear, otherwise they would attract Dongfang Weiming's attention. They had to quietly disappear, one after another, to "get into an accident"!
With regards to the Imperial Palace Services Office, it could be considered as over, because there were no traces of Nangong Zui, and even if Dongfang Weiming and Qi Yunshan wanted to investigate, they would not be able to find out. This Fu Shengquan was not a good person to begin with, so by doing this, Nangong Zui did not feel guilty at all. To the emperor, it was like adding wings to a tiger by eliminating Fu Shengquan and inserting Zhao Yuannan into his Imperial Palace Services Office!
But to Wei Shuge, she felt the most fortunate thing was that Zhao Jing was fine. In this battle, Zhao Yuannan's success was obtained in exchange for Zhao Jing's life. Think about it, if Dongfang Weiming had given up at that time, what would happen to him? In a situation where Zhao Jing didn't know that the parasite could be used to detoxify poisons, Zhao Jing …
The consequences would be unimaginable!
Luckily, Zhao Jing was safe and sound right now, if not Wei Shuge felt that he would never be able to forgive himself in his entire life.
Exiting the palace, Wei Shuge made a trip to the Red Drunken Flower.
He absolutely did not expect that Wei Shuge would personally come over, "Siyun, close the door quickly!"
"No need!" Wei Shuge looked outside the window, "If the shop on the street were to suddenly close, then it must be the owner's business, which would inevitably arouse suspicion. Find a quiet place and say that it's a conversation! "
"Alright!" Jing Hong led Wei Shuge to his room, where Siyun was waiting outside, in the first floor's main hall, business was still going on.
"Palace Lord, why have you come personally?"
"I'm still worried!" Wei Shuge sat down, his face looking gloomy, "Right now the situation in the palace has stabilized, so I came out to see you, you!" She paused, hesitating.
Of course, Jing Hong understood what Wei Shuge meant, "Palace Lord must be here for the young envoy?"
Wei Shuge took a sip of tea and replied softly, "He … Are there any movements? "
"Palace Lord knows too that we are no match for the few of you who have high martial arts skills. So we don't know what the envoy is doing or where he is right now. If you don't follow us, you will be the Amitabha! " Jing Hong sighed.
Wei Shuge put down the cup in his hand, "I hope he is not nearby, if not we will have to fight!" In truth, what she wanted to say was that if Ye Qing dared to betray the Demon Palace, he would be killed without mercy. However, Ye Qing was his master's only son after all.
"Palace Lord." Jing Hong lowered his voice, and sat beside Wei Shuge, "Jing Hong, could you ask one more question?"
"Go ahead!" Wei Shuge retracted his gaze.
"If Young Envoy really has ill intentions, then what about the Palace Lord?" Jing Hong asked seriously.
Wei Shuge laughed bitterly and did not answer.
"Palace Lord, you must know that the young envoy of the Li Palace has been living a life or death unknown. No one knows what he has been doing outside these past few years. Perhaps, there is another sect that we do not know about. If he recklessly trusted the young envoy and let him betray him, all of his brothers and sisters in the capital would be in great trouble. Palace Lord, Jing Hong is worried … " After Jing Hong voiced his concerns, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, what he was worried about was not only Jinghong, but also Wei Shuge.
"Before I find out the truth, I don't want to kill another person by mistake. Envoy Wu Luan is my master. If I accidentally hurt her son, I will never be able to repay this debt." Wei Shuge got up, "He will not let you go so easily. I have already sent a message to the main altar, informing Senior Envoy Wu Luan that she has arranged all the important matters of the palace. Even if they do not come, they will at least give me an answer! "
"Yes sir!" Jing Hong nodded.
"Right now, the most important thing is to find out where Ye Qing is currently staying." Wei Shuge sighed, "When you find out the truth, tell me immediately. In the capital, there might not be a person who can match up to him. After all these years, his martial arts are even more profound and unfathomable. None of you are his match. "
"This lowly subordinate understands!" Jing Hong nodded.
"Oh right, the Emperor is very satisfied with the matter regarding Nangong Zui!" Wei Shuge changed the topic, "Jing Hong, you did well!"
However, Jing Hong's face suddenly turned red, "It's fortunate that Nangong Zui is sensible, otherwise, we might not be able to negotiate this deal properly." Then he continued, "Of course, it was also because the Palace Lord and the Emperor plotted well that this matter could be considered settled!"
"Why are you blushing?" Wei Shuge raised his brows, "Jinghong, you aren't acting for real, are you?
"Jing Hong is like a duckweed, and is from a brothel. How could he have such good fortune?" "Although Nangong Zui is drunk all day, and drunk, he is indeed a man of honor. He would not take advantage of someone when they are in danger. I admired him, but not to the point of being tempted. Palace Lord, don't make fun of me, otherwise, in the upcoming days of awkwardness, you would have to blame Palace Lord for this! "
Wei Shuge chuckled, "You sure know how to shirk responsibility. Forget it, you decide your own matters! However, it's not your fault for being born in a brothel. Don't blame yourself for it, and don't belittle yourself. "The more a hero slaughters the dog, the more honor the hero will bring. It's fine if a man can accept it, but if he can't, then we have to be upright and not lower ourselves to the man."
"Yes sir!" Jing Hong nodded with a smile.
Suddenly, Wei Shuge's face tightened as he looked up at the ceiling coldly. She signaled Fleeting Time to speak as she quickly dashed out of the window.
Wei Shuge's speed was naturally extremely fast, and even Ye Qing had to be cautious, not necessarily being able to accurately keep up with her. So under the current situation, she would definitely not dare to return to the palace. If she were to make a move in the palace and affect Zhao Jing, it would truly be hard for her to explain herself. Wei Shuge rushed out of the city, and the people behind him chased closely behind like the wind. Wei Shuge followed in the forest all the way out of the city, before leaping and landing on the treetops, disappearing into the shadows.
This happened in the blink of an eye. The speed at which this happened was so fast that no ordinary person would be able to notice it.
It was very quiet, as if nothing had happened. As the wind blew through the treetops, it was strangely tranquil, causing people to feel uneasy.
Wei Shuge looked around quickly with his sharp eyes. Other than the sound of the wind, he didn't hear anything else. She was certain that that person had indeed followed her here. However, she did not know where he was right now. The forest was dense, and it was too easy to hide a person. To find a person, it was very difficult to rely on one's naked eyes. So now, he could only rely on Wei Shuge's own sharp senses to search for traces of this person.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind attacked them from behind.
Wei Shuge was dumbstruck, he quickly turned around, and without thinking too much, he threw out a palm attack. His body was as light as a swallow, and he quickly retreated to another tree with the help of the palm power. At that moment, she finally saw the person hiding in the shadows of the trees.
His pupils abruptly constricted.
