Liu Ning's face turned red when she heard this. She had wanted to stop him several times, but she was reluctant to do so. Her whole body was still numb now.
Staring at the other person's leaving figure with watery eyes, this guy is so awesome. His life was originally gloomy, but he brought a rainbow.
Well, I must snatch him away from the little bitch.
Let's say that after Zu An left the room, he happened to meet the smiling Eunuch Lu.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zu."
"It's not hard."
Although he answered subconsciously, Zu An felt strange.
"Master Zu, are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?" Eunuch Lu seemed to be a little regretful.
"There are still some things that need to be dealt with outside the palace." Zu Anxin wondered what was going on with his look, as if he had some unfinished thoughts.
"Oh, then I will leave you alone, Mr. Zu, and come to Kunning Palace often from now on. Your Majesty likes you very much." Eunuch Lu bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
Zu An nodded, but felt a little strange in his heart, why do you feel that you want me to come here more than the queen does.
Soon Eunuch Lu took him to the front hall of Kunning Palace. The eunuchs, maids, and even some other unpopular concubines outside couldn't help but whisper when they saw it.
"Master Zu is so favored by the empress that he can stay in the palace for such a long time."
"It doesn't matter what Mr. Ancestor's status is, the regent of the demon clan naturally needs to be treated seriously."
"By the way, I remember that he seems to be the most relied-upon minister of the Crown Princess of the East Palace. Now when he comes to the Queen's side, does he represent the Crown Princess or himself?"
"Silence, are these things you can ask about?"
…
Although these people kept their voices low, they could not hide it from Zu An's ears and eyes at this time.
He couldn't help but frown. This matter would probably reach Bi Linglong. What would she think of him?
The key is that he doesn't know how to choose. Before, the balance in his mind was slightly leaning towards Bi Linglong.
But after what happened just now, he found that Liu Ning was too good to him, so good that he couldn't bear to help Bi Linglong deal with her.
What an unsolvable situation.
There are also those hidden forces in the capital that Liu Ning just mentioned. It seems that the water in the capital is deeper than imagined.
In the end, I said that my time in the imperial court was too short, so short that I did not understand the background of these families in the imperial court.
No wonder there are so many great masters in Taoism, Buddhism, and Wumen, but they are still suppressed by the imperial court.
Although Liu Ning probably underestimated his strength, and he was not afraid of Hachigong or the hidden masters, it would still be quite troublesome if he committed suicide crazily in the capital and became a public enemy in the eyes of the old monsters, and was secretly dealt with by them.
thing.
He thought for a while and decided to investigate the hidden forces of all parties in the capital first, so as not to be shot out of nowhere.
Although your strength has increased now, you still need to be more cautious in order to go a long way. During the journey of cultivation, every step is dangerous and you must not be careless at all.
Even someone as strong as Zhao Hao is not truly invincible in the world. There are many beings much stronger than him.
In the end, he was killed by someone who was not as powerful as him. It would be funny if he was arrogant and accidentally repeated his mistakes.
If you want to investigate these hidden powerful people in the capital, where can we do it more conveniently than using the embroidered clothes messenger?
He looked up at the sky and found that half a day had passed.
How can a Grand Master be so easy to defeat? His durability is different from that of an ordinary woman. Fortunately, he has a white horse and a silver spear, and he learned how to play Chang Ban Slope like Zhao Zilong before he won.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to walk in the direction of the embroidered building. After arranging for Xiao Jianren to investigate the relevant information, he would leave the palace and go to the Qin family.
A rockery was changed into the shape of the gold medal eleven, and then we entered the embroidery building.
As soon as he entered, some embroidered messengers quickly appeared around him and surrounded him. When they saw his attire, they were stunned, "Master Eleven?"
Zu An wondered, "Why is the defense so much stricter now than before?"
"A big thing happened over at Zishan, and the commander-in-chief has also disappeared. Now the entire embroidery building is on level one alert." One of them replied.
Zu An thought that it was no wonder. There was no leader, and the interior of Xiulou was probably in chaos now. "Who is calling the shots here now?"
"Silver Embroidered Clothes Bu Liang Cai Bu, Lord." The messengers who embroidered clothes replied.
Zu An secretly nodded. The other gold medal embroidered clothes in the embroidery building were all located in various districts. Things in the capital were directly under the direct control of Zhu Xie. Originally, there were no gold medals until he, an unexpected person, arrived.
It's just that he seldom cares about the affairs of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy on weekdays. Basically, Zhu Xie manages it wholeheartedly.
Of course, Zhu Xie is so dedicated that he can't handle all kinds of complicated things by himself. He basically relies on his four confidants, Silver Medal, to handle everything.
This Bu Liangcai is one of them, recognized as Zhu Xie's right-hand man.
During the battle of Zishan, Zhu Xie took most of his confidants with him, leaving Bu Liangcai, one of his right-hand men, in charge of the capital.
Unexpectedly, everything on Jinding was destroyed and there was no news. Now Bu Liangcai has the final say in Xiulou. Firstly, he is a senior silver medalist, and secondly, he is Zhu Xie's confidant.
"Where's Mr. Xiao Jianren?" Zu An asked again, or an acquaintance could take advantage of it.
At this time, the embroidered messengers looked at each other and hesitantly said, "Go back to Mr. Eleven, Mr. Xiao is being imprisoned."
"What's going on?" Zu An frowned.
Those people opened their mouths, but no one spoke.
Zu An snorted coldly, didn't bother to talk nonsense, and rushed straight to the Xiulou Building.
The guard at the door was also shocked when he saw him, and hurriedly reached out to stop him, "Master Eleven, you can't come in here."
"I'm so dignified with gold medals in embroidered clothes, but I can't even enter the embroidery building prison?" Zu An's face darkened, and an inexplicable aura spread out.
The guards were suffocated, and they dared to stop him.
Zu An directly opened the hands of several people who were blocking him and broke into the cell.
Many guards had bitter looks on their faces, and those who had the wit to run out had already run out, as if they wanted to inform someone.
Zu An noticed it and did not stop him, but walked inside with a livid face.
Xiao Jianren was his subordinate, but now he was imprisoned. It was clear that he was being slapped in the face.
"Where is Mr. Xiao?" He directly grabbed the cell leader here and asked.
"It's... over there." The cell leader was horrified. He said that Mr. Eleven got here through connections and his cultivation was not a big deal. Why can't I dodge even if he is caught casually?
Soon he walked through the long corridor and came to a cell at the end.
Looking at the scene inside through the railing, I saw a prisoner in gray clothes tied to a wooden frame like a cross. His body was covered with tattered blood marks. From the broken clothes, you could see the wounds inside, including many bloody wounds.
The wounds were full of rotting flesh, and in some places there were even faint maggots wriggling inside.
Even though his head was lowered and his hair was disheveled, Zu An immediately felt that he was Xiao Jianren.
He was so angry that he took a step forward, and the entire cell door collapsed inward along with the bars.
Xiao Jianren slowly raised his head, but he was highly myopic, and now that his cultivation was blocked, his vision was blurry.
Zu An came to him in a flash, but didn't see any movement. All the chains on the torture frame were broken. He helped Xiao Jianren down, "I'm late."
"Master Eleven, Master Eleven?" Xiao Jianren, who was still a little confused, finally heard his voice, and his cloudy eyes suddenly filled with tears.
Zu An took out a healing elixir and drank it. At the same time, he continuously poured vitality into his body. "Stop talking and regulate your breathing."
He felt a surge of vitality flowing into his body. Wherever it passed, all the restrictions in his body melted away like residual snow encountering the scorching sun. Xiao Jianren's originally hung heart was completely relieved.
However, he was too seriously injured and was now extremely weak. He was even unable to perform kung fu on his own for a short period of time, so he had to rely on Zu An to help him recuperate.
Feeling his physical condition at this time, Zu An looked at the dungeon leader with a cold expression, "When did the Embroidered Clothes Messenger use punishment on his own people?"
The cell leader hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Excuse me, Sir Eleven, but we are just following orders and cannot be the master."
"Whose orders are you following?" Zu An asked coldly.
Those people hesitated one after another, as if they didn't dare to say each other's names.
"Listen to my orders!" At this time, an arrogant voice came.
There was a burst of neat footsteps in the cell, and two teams of heavily armed messengers in embroidered clothes ran down the stairs and surrounded the cell here.
"Law enforcement team!" The expressions of the prison leader and others changed. This is the most elite force among the embroidered messengers, and is often controlled by the commander-in-chief.
Each one is close to the strength of ordinary silver medal embroidered clothes. After the qualifications and merits have passed, silver medal embroidered clothes will often be produced from them, which shows the strength of the law enforcement team.
Then a middle-aged man with a special silver pattern embroidered on his clothes slowly walked down.
"Bu Liangcai, what crime did Xiao Jianren commit?" Zu An recognized the other person. Back then in the embroidery building, this man thought he was senior and followed Zhu Xie sincerely, so he did not betray his face.
"What crime was committed?" Bu Liangcai looked at the collapsed cell wall and couldn't help but frown slightly. However, he thought of his own cultivation and the law enforcement team around him, and quickly calmed down, "Such a big thing happened in Zishan.
, shouldn’t the person responsible for checking for danger in advance be held responsible?”
"To put it lightly, it is a dereliction of duty. To put it seriously, who knows if he colluded with those traitors to assassinate the emperor?" Bu Liangcai paused and looked at Zu An coldly, "Don't say it was him, the Eleventh Master
You also need to be inspected. Someone comes and takes down the suspect!"
