Seeing him looking like he wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask, Zu An secretly laughed. After the initial panic, he gradually came to his senses.
Why did Zhu Xie Chixin come to look for him? If he happened to pass by, he could ignore it. He must have come with a purpose. The way he hesitated to speak just now, coupled with the strange look he gave him when he left, the connection was obvious.
It's related to that matter.
So he took the initiative and said: "The emperor is extremely angry that so many assassins have entered the palace this time. At the same time, he is also very surprised as to why the assassins would seize such a coincidence and enter the palace when the emperor is not around."
Zhu Xiechi's heart moved and he followed his words and said: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. Logically speaking, only a few people know that the emperor is not in the palace."
Zu An sighed: "So the emperor asked me to find out who leaked the news."
Although Zhu Xie Chixin had vaguely guessed the truth, his expression changed slightly when he heard this. The emperor bypassed him and directly asked his subordinates to investigate, making it clear that even he was suspicious.
Although he knew that his master was jealous, when it really happened to him, he was still a little disheartened.
"I am also one of the suspects. When you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I am the real murderer?" Zhu Xie looked at this new subordinate with great interest. When they got along with each other on the way to Beijing, he admired his kind of avalanche.
His unyielding attitude made him appreciate it more and more after a series of events, so the emperor proposed to make an exception and give him a gold medal status. He had no objection at all.
Zu An smiled bitterly and said: "In the whole world, the most loyal person to the emperor is the Commander-in-Chief. Besides, you had to be taken care of by the Commander-in-Chief on the way to Beijing. I know your character very well, so how could you have an affair with an assassin.
"
Yun Jianyue, who was hiding behind the curtain, rolled her eyes. This guy is such a sycophant. It sounds disgusting.
Although he knew that the other party was probably flattering him, Zhu Xie was still extremely grateful: "I do have a clear conscience. I am grateful to Zhu Xie for being able to gain the trust of my brothers."
At the same time, he secretly lamented that even Zu An, who had not been with him for long, trusted him, but the emperor who had been loyal to him for so long became suspicious.
Zu An couldn't help but feel happy. As expected, he was the one who had been flattered by thousands of people. He was still eleven before, but now even his brothers Zu were called.
You must hug this big thick leg. What he said just now was indeed flattering, but it was also true.
The emperor has made it clear that he wants them to check and balance each other, but he is not a foolish and loyal person, so why should he be loyal to that guy who is always trying to kill me?
Everyone forms cliques for personal gain... Ahem, how are you doing, how are you doing? The most important thing in life is to be happy.
So he did not hesitate to tell Zhu Xie the task assigned by the emperor. It didn't matter whether the other party was the one who leaked the secret. The key was to bring the two parties closer to each other.
Speaking of which, if he really colluded with the Demonic Cult, everyone would still be one of our own.
Of course, he didn't dare to say these words to those other people. He had no friendship with those people at all, and he didn't know the character of those people. If he had the rashness to talk superficially, it would be easy for him to fall into a trap.
He coughed lightly: "Brother, you're welcome. Speaking of which, I also want to ask my brother how to handle this case. You are the expert in this regard."
Yun Jianyue behind the curtain looked strange. This guy was really lazy. He was called upon by his elder brother so quickly. I'm afraid he was the only one in the world who dared to call Zhu Xie a true brother, right?
By the way, Honglei was deceived by his shameless face.
Zhu Xie tapped his fingers lightly on the table, obviously thinking about something. Hearing this, he replied: "Since the emperor specifically asked you to investigate, it is obvious that he does not want me to intervene. My acting style is too obvious, and you will not follow suit."
Okay, it’s easy for the emperor to see some clues. So feel free to go check it out and let me know if you need any help in the future."
Noticing that he no longer used the word brother in his tone, Zu An knew that it was just a brief gaffe on his part. It would still be a long process to increase his favorability. It seemed that he would have to find an opportunity to invite him to a brothel to listen to music in the future.
As the saying goes, the three pillars of life pass through the window together and carry the gun together...
It's just that this guy's face is so pale and very feminine. If there is any problem in that aspect, he will be photographed on the horse's leg.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but he didn't stop for a moment: "Brother is indeed far-sighted. Fortunately, you gave me some advice, otherwise I wouldn't even know I made a mistake."
Zhu Xie sighed with his heart: "To be serious, we are colleagues and should help each other. Don't say that you have a headache now, I also have a big head. The emperor asked me to find the whereabouts of the female assassin. It's a pity that
I have no clue at all, the woman seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
Too many things happened today that made him feel depressed. Otherwise, with his normal temperament, he would not have talked so much to Zu An.
Zu An's heart moved: "I heard you mention that the long-haired female assassin is called Yun Jianyue, the leader of the Demon Cult?"
"That's right," Zhu Xie nodded sincerely, "I think I have prided myself on being a hero all these years and felt that no one else in the capital except the emperor looked down on me. I didn't expect that I would be defeated at the hands of a woman."
Zu An comforted him: "Brother, don't be depressed about this. I am the leader of the Demon Cult, and I can't guarantee that I will live several decades longer than you. It's not unfair to lose to an old woman."
Yun Jianyue in the curtain raised her eyebrows with a strange expression.
The anger value from Yunjianyue is +333!
This guy is so mean, even with her Qi-nurturing skills, she still managed to break through her defenses.
Zhu Xie looked at him with a blank look on his face: "Old woman? Although not many people know the true age of the leader of the Demon Cult, she is definitely not older than me, so how could she be an old woman? If she is really a person from my previous generation, I
I won’t be so disappointed if I lose to her.”
The corners of Yun Jianyue's lips raised slightly. This guy was nice to talk to, and unintentional flattery was the most beneficial. Zu An breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was not an old woman. That's fine, that's fine, but he won't let it go.
Opportunity to extract information: "By the way, you said she was seriously injured this time. Will her best friend come to avenge her? Brother, please don't take it lightly when capturing her during this time."
"Good at each other?" Yun Jianyue in the tent mantle felt a little itchy, and thought that after recovering, he must beat this guy a meal.
Zhu Xie's serious face also had a smile: "How can such a fierce woman be attracted to her? How can any man in the world dare to marry her?"
Yun Jianyue's chest rose and fell rapidly, and her swollen breasts were trembling a little. If she hadn't been so proficient in Mingjingfeitai, Zhu Xie would have noticed the unusual movement at this time.
I just thought this guy was nice to talk to, but I didn't expect him to be the same guy as Zu An.
Zu An resisted the urge to look back at the curtain: "If Yun Jianyue hears you talking about her like this behind your back, I might want to twist your head off."
Zhu Xie snorted with his heart: "Although I am indeed slightly weaker than her, it is not easy for her to defeat me. What's more, she is hurt by the emperor now, so what if she hears it?"
Yun Jianyue's face on the bed was expressionless. She was not an impulsive and brainless person. Although she was angry, she would not rush out and fight with others in this situation.
Huh, let me write this down in the ledger first.
Zu An suppressed a smile: "Is she really fierce? I saw her in the East Palace before and she seemed quite demure. Even with her face covered, you can tell that she is a big beauty. Well, she seems to have a good figure."
Zhu Xie's brows furrowed: "You can just talk about this in private. Don't say it outside. No matter if it reaches the ears of the imperial court or the demon sect, it will not be good for you."
Then he stood up and came to the window, looking at the western sky: "You may be too young to know the horror of Yunjian Yue. Back then, all parties in the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Demon Cult. The previous generation of Demon Cult leader was killed by the emperor.
Suddenly there was no leader, and there were many factions inside. The various envoys, elders and Dharma kings refused to obey anyone, and they fought for the position of leader and blood flowed."
"At this time, Yun Jianyue, who was still a saint at the time, came out, suppressed various other factions with thunderous means, and purged a lot of people who did not surrender to her. The court was also happy to see the results. I thought they were fighting in the doghouse to clean up.
Having defeated so many masters, she must have been vulnerable. Who would have thought that Yun Jianyue took the initiative to attack and annihilated the entire anti-rebellion army of the imperial court. That battle was a bloodbath and the situation changed. Countless soldiers sent by the imperial court
The master died in her hands, which made her famous as a peerless devil."
"Perhaps you just had a glimpse and thought she was the fairy-like Yunjianyue, but the old people who experienced that battle all murmured to themselves after coming back, 'When the blood moon appears, hell will open'."
Zu An's head jumped. Is that woman so terrifying?
Then if he hugged her, teased her from time to time, and even felt the shape of her breasts, wouldn't that mean he was dead?
