"Hmm..." Nangong thought for a moment, "You don't want to be an official?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "This is one of them."

Nangong touched his chin and felt conflicted. Why would he want to be an imperial guard if he didn't want to be an official? If he wanted to be an imperial guard, he would need to be selected at all levels, which was very difficult. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to just be a military attaché?

"Is it possible that he has some evil intentions? A spy?"

Zhao Zhen teased Nangong, "If he is really a spy, he should flatter him more."

Nangong could only shake his head - he couldn't think of anything.

Zhao Zhen smiled, reached out and poked Xiangxiang who was eating snacks, "Do you know?"

Xiao Xiangxiang looked at his father with big eyes.

Zhao Zhen held his chin with one hand and played with his daughter's pigtails with the other, "Who doesn't need to look at my father's face?"

Xiao Xiangxiang tilted her head and replied, "Father Huanghuang's father Huanghuang."

Zhao Zhen smiled and rubbed his daughter's head, "Oh, who is so smart and good-looking?"

Nangong looked at Eunuch Chen—the late emperor?

"Of course he cannot be the late emperor, but he should be respected by others like the late emperor and have the power to decide life and death." Zhao Zhen smiled coldly, "Some temperaments cannot be hidden. This kind of temperament cannot be hidden."

Do you remember seeing this temperament in anyone?"

Nangong suddenly remembered a person and asked Zhao Zhen, "Yin Hou?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Both the old man and Tianzun don't take me seriously, but there is a subtle difference between them. If you want to distinguish, Tianzun's is a matter of species. It's like saying that I am a human and he is a god.

There is nothing to compare with. That of Yin Hou is a matter of aura. I am the king and he is also the king. If I, the chosen son, rule the country, then he, the chosen son, rules the vast sky. I have hundreds of civil and military personnel under my command.

Officer, he has demons and monsters under his command... Not to mention more, one Youlian can be worth half of the country. They were all the people who dominated the country back then. How can I compare with others with my little wealth? I am better, but the late emperor has this.

Without Uncle Ninth, the family would be even weaker. If Wei Xin was the leader of the Five Sons Sect that Zhan Zhao and the others called him, and he was proficient in the art of soul-stirring and could control people's hearts, he would indeed look down on the late emperor.

Nangong frowned after hearing this, it was true...

Looking at Eunuch Chen who was peeling oranges for Xiangxiang and nodding silently next to him, Nangong couldn't help but feel a little admiration. He just glanced at him while serving tea and pouring water...

"Then what was the late emperor's reaction after hearing what you said?" Zhao Zhen then asked Eunuch Chen.

"Laughing." Eunuch Chen replied, "It's almost the same as the emperor's reaction now."

"What happens next?" Zhao Zhen was curious.

"The late emperor still trusted him very much and often asked him to do things. He was also very capable and never caused any trouble."

"Why did the late emperor still reuse him when he knew his identity was suspicious?" Nangong was puzzled.

Zhao Zhen nodded, "It should be that he found that he had no plans, or that the plans were not in the palace. The palace was just his place of residence, and the identity of the Ouchi guard was also used to hide his identity."

Nangong was not stupid. After contacting each other, he immediately figured it out, "Tianzun and the White Dragon King were catching kidnappers in the northwest area before, and the Liao Kingdom cleared the Five Sons Cult, so Wei Xin came here to take refuge?"

"There is indeed no safer place than working as a guard in the Central Plains Palace." Zhao Zhen nodded, "His roots should still be in the northwest. When the storm passed, the late emperor passed away again, and he went back quietly.

.He must have been more cautious and careful in these years, and he has always been peaceful. If he was suddenly exposed this time, he must be seeking revenge."

"Seeking revenge?" Nangong thought of the tauren.

"Being a bad person naturally has enemies. If you do too many evil things, you will be punished." Zhao Zhenduan took a sip from the tea cup and smiled lightly, "The fact that he can hide until now must have something to do with his proficiency in the art of absorbing souls."

"Indeed, this time he was implicated after a series of cases." Nangong and Eunuch Chen both nodded.

"Yin Hou is a master of soul-stirring. It's a coincidence that the murderer was targeted by Zhan Zhao. It's God's will, and Zhan Zhao is particularly concerned about this matter." Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and picked up the copper wooden fish on the table.

, looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked Eunuch Chen, "Did the late emperor really not have a purple dragon-patterned mat?"

Eunuch Chen shook his head slightly.

Zhao Zhen didn't seem to believe it.

Eunuch Chen continued, "But when the late emperor was reciting sutras, the old slave was not serving in the ancestral hall. He was usually alone."

Zhao Zhen immediately smiled and waved to Nangong and Eunuch Chen, "You two hurry up and find that mat."

The two agreed and left the garden.

After leaving the garden and heading to the ancestral hall, Nangong asked Eunuch Chen curiously, "Eunuch, why didn't you tell Zhan Zhao and the others just now?"

Eunuch Chen shook his head, quite innocent, "Oh, the old slave is getting lost and forgotten, but the emperor is still thoughtful."

Nangong made him laugh angrily, looking at the old man pretending to be confused in front of him... As expected, those who can survive to the end are the most powerful ones.

…

Zhan Zhao and the others left the palace, and Zhe Ying was waiting at the door. When he saw everyone coming out, he stepped forward and told Zhao Pu that Dong Qianyi had gone to the northwest to inquire about news about the villages that had been massacred before, and found a few living witnesses.

By.

Zhao Pu and Lin Yehuo went back to find Dong Qianyi to understand the situation, and then sent the fourth son back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang decided to sneak into the Privy Council to take a look. Zhan Zhao was anxious to confirm whether Wei Xin was the real culprit behind the scenes that he saw in his environment.

The soldiers divided into two groups and acted separately.

Spying on the Privy Council was not a big deal for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. When they arrived at the gate of the Privy Council, they first found a restaurant nearby, asked for a private room on the second floor, and sat down to observe.

There were many officials and people from other yamen coming and going in and out of the Privy Council, making it very lively.

The Fifth Master asked Shark to go in and search first, but Bai Yutang could see Zhan Zhao but not Zhan Zhao, which made Zhan Zhao restless.

Fifth Master was helpless and stretched out his hand to him, "Grab it."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Fifth Master's hand and reached out to grab it. Gradually, what Bai Yutang saw through Shark, Zhan Zhao could also see.

Fortunately, the two of them asked for a private room with the door closed and no one could see it. Otherwise, people passing by would probably be curious - Master Zhan and Lord Bai hold hands while drinking tea?

After entering the Privy Council, Shark looked left and right, then wandered from courtyard to courtyard.

The Fifth Master was quite helpless. It would be wrong to just follow anyone, except that Mao Lu Chi.

After wandering around for a while, Samera spotted a quite large house, with many people coming in and out, seemingly sorting out files.

Shark sneaked in and took a look, and saw that it was a warehouse, somewhat similar to Longtuge. It was probably used to store documents.

After walking around and not finding the person he was looking for, Shark wanted to go out and continue looking... But just as he stepped out of the warehouse, he suddenly heard a voice, "Master Wang, I asked you to look for him before."

Have you found the map?"

Bai Yutang felt Zhan Zhao hold his hand tightly.

Samera turned around and looked over following the sound, only to see a man standing on the side of the porch at the entrance to the warehouse. This man looked to be quite old, with a tall build and a majestic appearance.

A civil servant who looked like a master came over and handed a quite large scroll to him, "Master Wei, is this the scroll?"

The man took the scroll with one hand, opened it, took a look, nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this is it."

Although he looked serious, the man felt quite easy-going. He thanked him, took the scroll and left.

Bai Yutang felt that Zhan Zhao's internal energy suddenly fluctuated, so he withdrew Shark and looked up at Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, is it him?"

Zhan Zhao did not respond.

At this time, Zhan Zhao entered the environment again, returning to the scene when Lu Chengyun was forced to take the knife. The person in the shadow of the backlight gradually became clearer, gradually overlapping with the person he just saw, and finally

It became the same face, only younger and more vicious.

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao for a while, and then saw that Zhan Zhao had come back to his senses.

The two looked at each other, and Fifth Master asked again, "Is it him?"

Zhan Zhao's face also turned cold and he nodded, "That's him!"
