Hearing that Xuanyuan Zhan believed him, Xuanyuan Qingtian could not help but be startled, why did he want to report to royal father?
"Oh ~ really?" Xuanyuan Mo looked at Xuanyuan Qingtian. It seemed like the crown prince wasn't completely useless. What did you find? "
"Reporting to royal father, last time I met the crown prince in Sir Zou's residence, after some discussion, I found out that the people who harmed the capital's Punishment Lord and Sir Zou's entire family could be the group of men in black that I met in the ancient border town." Xuanyuan Zhan revealed the truth.
Hearing that what Xuanyuan Zhan had said was not the truth, Xuanyuan Qingtian could not help but secretly sigh in relief.
"What?" Xuanyuan Mo said in disbelief. It's actually the remnant of the previous Qin? "
"Yes, royal father. Furthermore, during this period of time, they sent people to assassinate people from General Mu Palace. This son dares to conclude that their purpose for coming here was most likely to be an important official of My Xiao Country. "
"How dare you!" Xuanyuan Mo was furious, "Could it be that their target will be all of the great ministers of the My Xiao Country?"
"That won't happen, but this subject is certain that they have come for something. Blood droplets. " Xuanyuan Zhan slowly spoke out his thoughts.
"What?" Sure enough, they should have gotten rid of the roots back then. Now, they actually want to make a comeback. Xuanyuan Mo thought in his heart.
"I, your son, only ask my royal father to send an army to guard the treasury. If they truly want to steal the blood, then they will naturally go to the treasury. When the time comes, we can catch them." Xuanyuan Zhan took the chance and spoke out the plan he had in his mind.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, your son shall obey."
"But, royal father!" Xuanyuan Qingtian still wanted to say something, but he was not convinced. This opportunity originally belonged to him, but now it had been snatched away by Xuanyuan Zhan.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. We have made up our minds. The crown prince will continue to work cooperatively on the case. Let's do it this way." Xuanyuan Mo waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.
Although Xuanyuan Qingtian was unwilling to accept this in his heart, he didn't say anything more. Royal Father's will was already firm, and fortunately, he was still within it. Since he was in charge of this case, he definitely had a chance to turn the situation around.
In an abandoned manor on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Humph!" That girl, Yun Yan, who did not do much and was more than good at failure, actually let them discover some clues, and nearly exposed our traces. " The leader of the men in black said.
"Fortunately, Master was wise and abandoned the chess piece, Yun Yan, in time. Otherwise, we'd be in the Xing Family's prison right now."
"Humph!" If it wasn't for the small matter that was assigned to you all that couldn't be completed, would this sovereign have done so? " Although he had abandoned the chess piece that he had arranged to stay in the capital for many years, he still felt reluctant to part with it. After all, he was the one who planned for the future, and it was too early to give up on this piece.
"Alright, we've made such a big commotion in the capital. It looks like we won't be able to make any other moves in a short amount of time. We have one last thing to do, we'll be leaving the capital."
Xuanyuan Zhan's guess was not wrong, their biggest reason for coming to the capital was to steal the blood droplets, and the exterminating lord and Lord Zou's entire family was just to give the Emperor of Xiao Country a small warning. Who would have known that he had actually underestimated that Battle-King Xuanyuan Zhan, who actually managed to investigate into his body. It seemed that he had to speed up his actions, and after obtaining the item he had to immediately leave the capital.
After getting off the morning assembly, Xuanyuan Zhan planned to return to the Battle King Manor. However, they were stopped by Xuanyuan Qingtian.
"Don't think that just because you didn't tell royal father about this matter today, and even helped me, I will be grateful to you." Xuanyuan Qingtian coldly snorted. Don't think that I don't know that you just want to use this opportunity to show off in front of royal father. "
"What the crown prince thinks is his own business. This king has never thought of stealing his highness' credit." If there is nothing else, This King shall take my leave. " After Xuanyuan Zhan finished speaking, he did not care about Xuanyuan Qingtian's green face, and left through Xuanyuan Qingtian.
Xuanyuan Qingtian was completely speechless, he angrily stomped his feet.
"Tian Er, what's wrong? You haven't come to the Old matriarch in so many days? It's hard to get the matriarch here today, why do you always look like you're unhappy? " Yan Fei saw the unhappy look on his son's face and asked.
"Isn't it that Xuanyuan Zhan …" Xuanyuan Qingtian unhappily told Yan Fei what happened today.
After Yan Fei heard this, he pondered for a while and comforted Xuanyuan Qingtian.
"Tian Er, the reason your royal father handed this matter over to that Xuanyuan Zhan was also to protect you. The remnants of the previous Qin Dynasty killed the important ministers of the imperial court in the capital. The laws of the country had no regard for My Xiao Country, and all the ministers of the imperial court were in danger, afraid that they would be the next one to mess things up. " "Your royal father did this to protect you. Think about it, First Qin Ruo Sin and his group are all desperate and desperate people. What if one day they feel that you are a threat to them, and they harm you in return?"
"Tian Er, listen to mother. Queen Mother will definitely not let that Xuanyuan Zhan become your stumbling block. " Yan Fei comforted Xuanyuan Qingtian, and revealed a vicious gaze when he mentioned Xuanyuan Zhan.
"matriarch?" Xuanyuan Qingtian felt that the Yan Fei might be hiding something from him, but the matriarch wasn't willing to tell him, so he naturally couldn't find out what it was.
"Tian Er, you have to remember mother's words. You don't need to care about anything, don't need to do anything. Just let him, Xuanyuan Zhan, investigate.
"Oh, this son understands, matriarch." Although Xuanyuan Qingtian did not know what the Yan Fei was planning, he knew in his heart that the matriarch was always on his side, and she would not harm him.
Xuanyuan Mo went to the Yan Fei's chamber to sleep.
"Your majesty, chenqie heard from the eunuchs and maids in the palace that Your Majesty reinstated the position of Battle-King in the morning court and sent him to investigate the case of Xing and Zou families?" Yan Fei asked unintentionally while he massaged Xuanyuan Mo.
"However, for your majesty to do this, you must have thought of Tian Er's situation. Tian Er is the crown prince, so for the emperor to treat the crown prince like this, I'm afraid that chenqie will have some gossip amongst the servants. "
"Do you think I don't want to use him properly? But look at him, he hasn't been enterprising all day, he can't even compare to Ol 'Three. I can't believe that I still need Third Bro to speak up for him in the imperial court today. " Xuanyuan Mo opened his eyes and said in an even worse tone.
"Chenqie also knows that the crown prince is disappointing. Your Majesty, you're just too anxious. Chenqie will speak nicely of him in the future." Yan Fei immediately admitted his mistake.
"Has the Crown Prince come to complain to you again today?" Xuanyuan Mo closed his eyes and said in enjoyment.
"…" The Yan Fei was silent for a moment.
"In the future, let him learn how to govern a country by helping him learn. Don't spend all his time thinking about these trivial things."
"Yes, chenqie understands."
Yan Fei never planned to plead on behalf of the crown prince. She was unwilling to let her son go to such a dangerous place to deal with the remnants of the previous Qin Dynasty. How dangerous would that be? She only wanted to use this chance to find out where Xuanyuan Zhan had found the case.
"Then, what clues did the Battle King find?"
"Yes." "It was said that it was most likely done by the remnants of the previous Qin Dynasty …" Xuanyuan Mo was completely unaware, he did not feel that something was amiss, and he immediately told the Yan Fei about today's decision.
"You go out and tell that man. I told him not to act rashly for the next two days. His Majesty was already suspicious and told him to wait in peace. When the time comes, I will naturally go tell him. "
Although Xuanyuan Zhan had thought of a strategy beforehand, it had already been two whole days since Xuanyuan Zhan and his men had been guarding outside the treasury, and there were no signs of any movement.
"Your Highness, we have already been guarding this place for two whole days, they won't be coming, right?" Lightning couldn't help but ask. He had been waiting anxiously for the past two days.
Xuanyuan Zhan was also very suspicious in his heart. According to logic, they should have already been discovered, so they should have sensed something. Could it be that they left the capital? Could it be that they didn't come to the capital for the Blood Bead? Or could it be that there were people of their own in the palace and they had long been on guard, so they temporarily let go of this matter? Xuanyuan Zhan could not understand no matter how much he thought about it.
Xuanyuan Qingtian carefully thought about everything that had happened during the few days of investigation. It seemed that there was someone who would spread the news for them, unless that group of people had already left the capital. Otherwise, how could they have hidden in the capital and not been discovered until now? Moreover, they did not have the chance to leave the city. Ever since the bloody incident in the capital, they had only been able to enter the city today. They did not have the chance to leave the capital at all. Then, the only possibility was that there would definitely be someone secretly giving them information and arranging for them to go somewhere.
At the biggest restaurant in the capital.
"How was it? Did you find anything?" Feng Yu looked at Xi Leng who was seated opposite of him and asked.
"Reporting to Pavilion Master, this subordinate has found some clues, but …" Xi Leng was in a difficult position.
"But what? Hurry up and tell me. " Feng Yu said.
"Actually, ever since I left the ancient border town with Pavilion Master, I have been secretly sending people to investigate the matter of the remnants of the previous Qin Dynasty. This subordinate knew that those people were remnants of the previous dynasty, and the person in the lead was the newly born prince that the eunuchs smuggled out of the palace when the dynasty fell. All these years, that man had always wanted to restore the former dynasty and avenge the former emperor. "Therefore, they will not let this trip to the capital go so easily."
Back then, Xuanyuan Mo had relied on the power of the Blood Bead and the help of the Xiao Family to make a large scale advance to the south. In one fell swoop, he destroyed the previous Qin Dynasty and unified the Central Plains. At that time, when they were in the palace, they didn't leave a single person alive. They were afraid that something like this would happen. But who would have known that at that time, the imperial concubine was born prematurely and gave birth to a prince. At that time, while the palace was in chaos, the little prince was brought out of the palace to be raised for the sake of today.
Xuanyuan Zhan personally guarded the treasury for two days but to no avail.
"Alright, looks like that person won't come to steal the blood, Thunder Rain." His Royal Highness had instructed all his brothers to rest first. After working hard for a few days, you should all go back and relax, "Lightning's voice rang out.
"My brothers, thank you."
However, that same night, the treasury was stolen and the blood drops were stolen.
Furthermore, he did not know where the real bead of blood had gone to. Even if that person took the bead of blood, it would be useless, so he might as well let go of the fish and use that as a way to get rid of the spy hiding in the palace.
"Xuanyuan Zhan, didn't you say that you already have a way?" It was rare for Xuanyuan Qingtian to get a hold of Xuanyuan Zhan's weakness, so naturally, he had to grit his teeth and not let go. What's the matter with you? But the person didn't catch it, and you actually lost the blood drop that was just found? "
In the palace, Xuanyuan Qingtian mercilessly caught Xuanyuan Zhan off guard and reprimanded him.
However, Xuanyuan Zhan looked like he did not care, and all the officials and older brothers in the palace were discussing.
"Alright!" Xuanyuan Mo roared.
Silence reigned in the audience hall.
"The Battle-King had told us about this a long time ago. What they stole was only a fake blood bead. The real blood bead is in my hands now." Xuanyuan Mo said.
Xuanyuan Qingtian looked at Xuanyuan Mo in disbelief. So it turns out that his royal father had long known about this matter, but he had kept it a secret from him. But because of royal father's decision, Xuanyuan Qingtian could only endure it.
"Imperial Father, although this son did not capture the remnants of the previous Qin Emperor, he managed to capture the chess piece that they had been hiding in the palace." Xuanyuan Zhan said, "Bring it up."
