Let's say that the inn on the other side was already full of imperial troops. Prince Liang and Liu Yao were among them. Apparently they had already contacted the reinforcement team sent from the capital.
Usually they are very carefree. After all, they are the biggest in the field and are relatives of the emperor and queen, so they are a bit arrogant.
But now the two of them were a little restless, and kept secretly glancing at the expression of the man standing aside, as if trying to figure out what his mood was at this time.
It's no wonder that they were so cautious. In fact, although the guy in front of them was not as good as them in official position, his strength was definitely unambiguous. Just because he was the emperor's confidant and wanted to be the leader of the secret service, he deliberately suppressed his official rank.
Over the years, countless princes and ministers in the capital have fallen into his hands, so how could the two of them dare to show any signs of neglect.
This time they shouldered the emperor's heavy responsibility and came out to capture Zu An and return to the capital. As a result, Zu An was lost and ten embroidered messengers died tragically.
Originally, if they could catch the traitor Lu Sanyuan, they could more or less make up for it. Unfortunately, Lu Sanyuan's cultivation level was too high. Even if the two of them joined forces, they still couldn't defeat each other and were tricked by the other party and left.
No matter what the incident is, the pace of dismissal and investigation is inevitable. Although the two of them are relatives of the emperor, it will be slightly better than ordinary officials, but if Zhu Xie goes back to the emperor to talk nonsense, the two of them will definitely not suffer.
Keep walking.
At this time, Zhu Xiechi's face was full of gloom. He obviously noticed the little actions of the two people, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them at all.
Soon, embroidered messengers came back from outside one after another:
"Reporting to the commander, the whereabouts of Mr. Mosquito have not been found."
"Reporting to the commander, Zu An's whereabouts were not found."
"There is no trace of Miss Pei's family either."
…
Listening to everyone's feedback, Zhu Xie's eyelids trembled as he looked coldly at the elegant and refined woman beside him: "Miss Chu, I'm afraid I need you to explain it carefully."
"I don't understand what I need to explain." Chu Chuyan replied lightly.
Not far away, King Liang and Liu Yao thought to themselves that this little girl was really ignorant and fearless. She had no idea of the horror of Zhu Xie's heart. In the capital, there was no way to stop a child from crying at night.
However, they also admired her deeply. They had heard the name of the eldest lady of the Chu family before, but at most they had seen her from a distance. After all, they were not of the same generation. Even if Chu Chuyan went to the capital, they would not have any contact with her.
I saw it up close today, and it truly lives up to its reputation, like an immortal descending from heaven.
In fact, with their identities, I don't know how many young and beautiful women I have seen, but it is really rare to be sober and refined like her. What is even more valuable is the unique cold, arrogant and noble temperament in her body.
Facing a powerful man whose cultivation far surpassed hers, and a spy chief who controlled countless lives and deaths, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and still as elegant as snow.
That kind of arrogance makes it easy for men to have a feeling of wanting to conquer, but such a woman is obviously not something ordinary men can have.
"A flower in cow dung!"
An idea popped up in their minds at the same time, because at the same time they thought of all the evil things Zu An did along the way.
In their opinion, the person who can be worthy of Chu Chuyan should be the kind of handsome young master who is as gentle as jade, and at the same time, he must have a top family background and be a practicing genius since he was a child. But that guy Zu An, no matter how you look at it,
They are all like gangsters in the market, and I don't know what Chu Chuyan likes about him.
They subconsciously glanced at Zheng Dan in the corner. The daughter-in-law of the Sang family seemed to be treating him well along the way. She didn't resist much when Zu An bullied her, and she seemed to be addicted to the rhythm.
And the demonic saint they just mentioned, Miss Pei, seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Zu An.
Thinking of this, they were immediately puzzled. Is there such a big gap between women's aesthetics and men's?
At this time, Zhu Xie interrupted their thoughts with a cold snort: "I remember Miss Chu promised me before that she would never secretly let Zu An go. She also swore on the Chu family that now she wants to take Chu An away for a man."
Is the home in danger?”
Chu Chuyan's expression remained calm: "I do have such a guarantee, and I did not secretly let Zu An go."
"Then why did Zu An leave early when I arrived just now?" Zhu Xie stared at her coldly with his heart. The other party's stunning appearance had no influence on him at all. Being able to become the leader of the embroidered clothes messenger, the emperor's most important thing
A trusted confidant has long been trained to be good at women.
Chu Chuyan replied: "The situation at that time was that the Mosquito Taoists wanted to kill Pei Mianman and Azu, and the Demon Cult people also wanted to arrest them. I was not able to protect them, so I let them leave first to avoid the limelight. I did not deliberately let them go.
.”
"Why did those people from the Demon Cult join forces with you? And when I arrived before, you deliberately let them leave. Could it be that the Chu family and the Demon Cult had colluded for a long time?" Zhu Xie leaned forward with a very oppressive look in his eyes.
The tone became more and more severe.
Startled by his momentum, King Liang and Liu Yao subconsciously sat upright.
In the room, Sang Hong, his daughter, and Zheng Dan all looked at each other, thinking that this crime was serious. The emperor originally wanted to deal with the Chu family. Once this crime was carried out, the Chu family would really be finished.
Chu Chuyan was obviously aware of this and frowned: "Master Zhu Xie, don't be alarmist. Our Chu family has nothing to do with the Demon Sect. The reason why we joined forces with the Demon Sect before was because that Taoist Mosquito was so powerful.
No matter which one of us is its opponent."
She paused and continued: "Master Zhu Xie has personally learned how powerful the Mosquito Taoist is. Even you can't take her down, and I am certainly no match for her. As for those people from the Demon Sect who took advantage of the chaos to escape, I was
He was seriously injured and there was nothing he could do to stop it."
Zhu Xie's breath was suffocated, and this woman killed him, because in the final analysis, the mosquito Taoist escaped from his hands, and if he was really investigated, he should take the main responsibility.
He was also depressed. Taoist Mosquito was a well-known murderer in the world. His abilities were too powerful. He had developed superb evasion skills after being hunted for many years. With so many people on his side, he still had the advantage.
Let her escape.
As for those demon cult monsters, they also took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Although the direction in which the demonic saint and her men were escaping was exactly where Chu Chuyan's hand was, she had obviously let go on purpose.
Unfortunately, her explanation was reasonable and she had no evidence.
His expression was uncertain, when someone came in and reported: "Report, something was found in the backyard."
He was stunned and hurriedly got up and went to check. Others followed out out of curiosity.
When I came to the backyard, I saw a simple tombstone, and then the grave inside had been dug up, and more than a dozen corpses were laid out.
"Who are these people? Are they from the Demon Cult?" Zhu Xie frowned with his heart.
At this time, a trembling voice came: "No, they are the warriors of our Sang family."
Zhu Xie looked at Sang Qian with all his heart: "Why did your people die here? They look like they are disguised as the staff of this inn. What on earth do you want to do?"
"I just received information that someone is trying to kill my father, so I don't worry about bringing people to protect me along the way..." Sang Qian roughly told the whole story. In order to avoid trouble, she omitted their plan to take the initiative to save Zu An and changed it to
I accidentally bumped into someone from the Demon Cult bringing Zu An to stay.
"These people in the demon sect are really cruel and ruthless." Zhu Xie suddenly felt strange, "Then who buried these people? The people in the demon sect would not be so kind as to bury them and even build a monument for them."
Although these people did not have heavy coffins, it was obvious that they were buried carefully. Everyone's appearance and clothes were arranged, and a layer of mat was thoughtfully wrapped around them to serve as coffins.
"It should have been buried by Zu An." Chu Chuyan spoke at this time. She looked at the handwriting on the tombstone and her face turned red. "The handwriting is so ugly and distinctive. There is no one else but her."
At this time, someone else found half of the tombstone that had been accidentally broken during the previous excavation. Sure enough, the words "Zu Anli" were written on it.
"Zu'an..." Looking at the crooked "Tombs of the Martyrs" on the simple tombstone, Sang Qian was in a trance, her eyes a little moist, and she suddenly understood why her sister-in-law fell in love with that guy.
.
"Sneeze!" Zu An on the other side sneezed loudly and muttered to himself, "I don't know which girl is thinking of me again."
Pei Mianman next to him snorted: "You are really the most shameless person I have ever seen."
