Sensing the coldness in his eyes, Meng Chan panicked for a moment and did not dare to make any more excuses: "I heard that you are looking for Bai Ze's Corner?"
Zu An was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Who did you listen to?"
Meng Chan replied: "The regent doesn't have to worry about who I listen to. What's important is that I can get Baize's Corner."
Zu An snorted coldly: "I think what's more important now is why you knew I was looking for Bai Ze's Corner."
He only told a few people in the academy at first, but later arranged for the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, the demon clan Nan Xun, and some officials from the East Palace to help search. No matter where the information she got came from, it seemed that it was not a trivial matter.
"The Prince Regent is in the limelight now. No matter what he does, there are countless pairs of eyes watching him. You sent those people to help investigate before. There is no airtight wall in the world." Meng Chan laughed at herself, "Although Prince Dai's palace and the Meng family are in ruins,
, but after all, in a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, there are always some old friends who remember our kindness and may not be able to help us with other things, but this kind of effort can still be done."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that she would deduce his relationship with the eleventh gold medal or the commander from the embroidered cloth messenger, but now it seems that she was overly worried.
Anyway, given his current status as regent, it makes perfect sense that he really wants to entrust the Embroidered Clothes Envoy to help find the Baize Horn.
"Can you really get the Horn of Bai Ze? You must know that few people in the world have heard of this legendary beast." Zu An couldn't help but doubt it. You must know that even existences like Zhen Xuzi and Ji Dentu are not familiar with it.
You know, how could she, a noble lady, do it?
Meng Chan glanced at him faintly: "Can you please let me put on my clothes? It's really embarrassing for me to be like this now."
Zu An: "..."
Does this woman know how to be embarrassed now?
Then why did you take off your clothes as soon as you came in?
But now that the matter was over, he couldn't continue to ask further questions, so he turned around and waved casually.
Meng Chan blushed and pulled up her clothes again, fastened the belt and buttons again, and said with emotion: "There are rumors outside that the regent is lustful and lustful. When I met you today, I found that you are much more of a gentleman than I thought.
.”
"There is no need to flatter me, I only need the Bai Ze Horn now. If you are lying to me, the Meng family and the Dai Wang will be even worse than they are now." Zu An said coldly.
"The Prince Regent really doesn't understand amorous feelings," Meng Chan glanced at him resentfully, and then said, "Okay, I've put on my clothes."
With Zu An's mind, it was naturally clear that she was dressed: "Can you tell me more specifically now?"
Meng Chan hummed: "The Meng family is a family with a long history. This is not me bragging here, but telling a fact."
Zu An nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Meng Chan continued: "Many years ago, there was a wizard in the Meng family. He liked to explore various secret places. One time he came back and brought a strange animal carcass. At that time, no one in the Meng family knew what it was.
, that wizard said that the animal is called Bai Ze, and asked the family to keep it well, maybe it will be of great use in the future."
"It's a pity that the prodigy died in another secret exploration not long after. No one knows what use Bai Ze is. However, the Meng family still made its body into a specimen and preserved it."
"However, as time passed, its body slowly decayed, and eventually only one horn remained."
Zu An interrupted her: "No, the beast of Bai Ze should be very magical. Even after death, the body will not decay in just a thousand years."
This world is not like the previous life. Even if some powerful beings die, the remaining coercion can even kill people. Immortality of the physical body can be said to be fundamental.
Maybe it will turn into white bones in thousands of years, but from what she said, it was only a thousand years ago at most, so how could there be only one horn left.
Meng Chan sighed: "Prince Regent, I am also the legitimate daughter of the Meng family and the acting princess. How could I not know that the bones of these mysterious beasts can be preserved for a long time, and come up with such a flawed story?
?Because this is indeed what happened. The Bai Ze Head corrupted at a speed beyond imagination. It even began to corrupt at a strange speed not long after the wizard ancestor brought it back. I don’t know if it came out of the secret realm.
Influence."
Zu An frowned, what she said did make some sense, and this kind of falsehood at first glance had a little more truth to it.
As for the strange rate of decay, it seems that Bai Ze left the secret realm. The environment on both sides is different. The laws of heaven and earth here do not tolerate it?
He thought for a while and said: "But as far as I know, the Meng family's treasure house has been sealed by the court. You want to trade with me for something that no longer belongs to you?"
Meng Chan shook her head: "A family like the Meng family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, doesn't understand the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows. Many collections are hidden in other places."
Zu An snorted coldly: "According to what you said, the wealth accumulated by the Meng family for thousands of years should be an astronomical figure. How could you possibly know about this Baize Corner with so many treasures?"
I always feel that everything is too coincidental, and this woman has always been known for her dexterity and scheming, so I always worry that she is planning something.
"There are not as many treasures as everyone thinks," Meng Chan sighed, "Although a wealthy family like ours has a lot of accumulation, it also costs a lot of money, especially as we get older, the common problems of big families keep popping up, like dandies.
There are more and more children, and it has long been difficult to return. Our Meng family has been relatively prosperous in the past few years, relying on its power in the court to barely balance its income and expenses. Many other ancient families have already begun to sit on their hands. "
"As for the Bai Ze Horn, I also think it's a coincidence. Maybe this is fate," Meng Chan laughed at herself, "When I was young, I loved going to the treasure house to play, and I fell in love with the crystal clear horn at the first sight.
Horn, so I asked Grandpa to give it to me, so even if the court seals up all the treasures of the Meng family, it is impossible to get the Baize Horn."
After speaking, her eyes regained some confidence.
Zu An snorted: "There's no need to be so guarded against me. If you really are, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others."
Meng Chan bit her lip and took the opportunity to say: "I would like to dedicate this thing to the regent, just to free the Meng family and save the king's life."
Zu An fell into deep thought and said after a moment: "I can prevent them from being confiscated and exterminated, but it will never return to the past situation. At most, I can leave some ancestral land for the old, weak and sick in the mansion to make a living."
In fact, the queen had told him privately before that the Meng family was too big, and there were more or less marriage relationships with other major families in the capital. If everyone was to be exterminated, there was no guarantee that it would not arouse hostility and criticism from all parties.
So much.
He is indeed not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. He has already wiped out all the chief criminals before. In addition, the backbone of the Meng family has been completely destroyed. It is no longer possible for the remaining people to regain their previous prosperity and strength.
Meng Chan looked happy: "This is enough. Thank you to the Regent for your noble hand!"
To be honest, she was a little surprised. According to many common practices in this world, this situation would definitely require genocide and eradication.
Originally, she thought it would be good to retain a few Meng family children, but she did not expect such a gain.
This man was a bit more kind than she imagined, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude in her heart.
At the same time, he was still a little distracted, and it was difficult to connect the man in front of him with the killer star that day.
Hey, if I had known him earlier, I wouldn't have become his enemy.
One wrong move and the whole game is lost.
"Where is Bai Ze's Corner?" Zu Jing looked at her quietly.
Meng Chan was a little embarrassed: "I didn't bring it with me."
"Are you kidding me?" Zu An's face darkened.
"No, no," Meng Chan hurriedly explained, "The main reason is that I didn't know what to do before I came here. If I accidentally carry it with me and get caught, I won't have any leverage at all, so I hid it somewhere. I will take it with me now."
You go get it."
Zu An was silent for a moment: "Lead the way."
Whether the other party really wants to make a deal with him or wants revenge, you will know by looking at it.
However, after several contacts, he felt that Meng Chan was a smart woman and would not be stupid in this kind of thing.
Meng Chan said: "In the north of the city..."
She was about to lead the way, but suddenly she felt a lightness in her body and found that she had already reached the sky through the clouds and mist.
The man grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and the two of them were not too close or too far apart, and they flew towards the north of the city.
Meng Chan was secretly frightened. As far as she knew, the capital formation had set up a no-fly zone. Could it be that his strength had completely ignored this?
How did she know that Master Yan had specially given Zu An a token that would allow the formation to sense his aura and not attack due to flying matters.
After all, when these formations were first established, they were used to restrain practitioners in the world. There are similar immunity mechanisms for the truly top leaders.
Otherwise, if Zhao Hao was flying in the sky in the past, how would it be possible for the capital formation to attack him?
"That way..." Meng Chan pointed to the road, feeling a little confused. She had flown before, and when she was a child, she was taken by her family's elders to fly across the sky.
But as she grew older, she received more education from aristocratic ladies, especially since her initial target was the princess, so these "barbaric" things were naturally not allowed.
It is even more impossible to let other men come into contact with her body, not even family elders.
A woman who wants to be a princess must maintain absolute purity.
If she wanted to fly so expensively again, she could only wait until she reached the level of master. Originally, everything was in order. With her qualifications, it would be a matter of course for her to become a master after a few decades.
She often regretted and lamented that she was already old by then. Even if she could fly, how could she still have the mentality of a girl?
It's not like she didn't imagine that a handsome young knight would take her to the famous mountains and rivers in the world, but as soon as this idea came up, she was strangled to death.
I never expected that the fantasy that I had hidden deep in my heart would be realized by my "enemy".
…
She was filled with excitement all the way, and soon came to a remote and dilapidated courtyard in the north of the city.
Zu An looked around and found that this place was actually a slum area in the capital. It was indeed the most secretive place to hide things here.
His mind scanned the surroundings, and there were no practitioners, no ambushes, and no formations.
He nodded secretly, this woman is not stupid.
Soon Meng Chan took out the key and entered the house, lit the candle, fumbled around in the corner, and soon opened a hidden compartment with a box inside. She opened it carefully and brought it to Zu An.
"This is Baize's Corner. You...you won't regret it, right?" Meng Chan looked regretful. Apparently she realized that she had made a mistake and handed over the things just after listening to the other party's verbal promise. At this time, the other party
If he kills her to seize the treasure, she will have no countermeasures, and the Meng family and the Dai Wang will be completely finished.
Zu Anjing glanced at her quietly without answering, and directly picked up the Bai Ze Horn. It was warm and crystal clear. Although he had never seen it before, he knew that it was the Bai Ze Horn, and the keyboard system had already identified it for him.
.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Meng Chan became more and more uneasy. However, when her eyes fell on the burning candle, she finally felt confident in her heart. However, when she thought of that, her face turned red involuntarily.
