"Master He, please rise."

There was no blame in Zhang Feng's words. Instead, he turned his attention to the ascended assassin.

Previously, Daochang He and others had moved their spells and pinned the assassin a hundred feet away, which was also a safe distance.

At this time, Taoism and magic were tightly locked, and the fate of the country was surrounding him. He had no choice but to surrender and wait for death.

"Who ordered you?"

Zhang Feng got off the carriage and walked towards the assassin.

Taoist priest He also hurriedly followed. At the same time, He Sanren, the three brothers of the Mo family and others also followed.

It's just that the players and others came to watch the excitement, to see the life and death of an ascended monk being judged by the prince with one sentence.

Only Taoist He, He Sanren, and the five monks in the sky are loyal protectors of the prince.

When Zhang Feng saw this situation, he also knew that Daozhang He and others did not kill him, but wanted to interrogate him.

After all, anyone who encounters an assassination wants to know who is behind it and why.

Only in this way can we better eliminate the root cause and eliminate the problem first.

Zhang Feng had the same idea and wanted to know what kind of person could command the ascended monks.

But Zhang Feng also knew that by asking these monks who went against the will of heaven, he would basically get no answers, and he had no expectations. He expected to get some snack information from him.

However, when Taoist Wu saw the prince approaching and felt that his strength was being suppressed and had no strength left to resist, he begged for mercy without waiting for Zhang Feng to ask more questions.

"My lord, please spare my life! Xiaodao was ordered by the third prince of Jin..."

"The third prince of Jin?" Zhang Feng heard this and looked at Daozhang He who was always on standby. "If I remember correctly, Jin was destroyed twenty-one years ago."

"Back to your lord..." Taoist He cupped his hands and replied, "The Kingdom of Jin was indeed destroyed twenty-one years ago. Moreover, all the princes and the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin were also detained by the general and imprisoned in the sky prison.

I asked and beheaded one after another within a month."

"Since they are all dead..." Zhang Feng nodded and looked at Taoist Wu who was begging for mercy and kneeling, "Who is the third prince of the Jin Kingdom you are talking about? Is it possible that you are deceiving me?"

"You must never dare, Xiaodao!" Taoist Master Wu hurriedly apologized and told him, "The third prince has always been thoughtful and cautious. Therefore, he fought for power for the crown prince of Jin. Twenty-nine years ago, in

Nanwu Middle School specially found a person who looked similar to him.

After spending five years, the third prince carefully cultivated this person's words and deeds, and gave him a trace of his spiritual thoughts to inform him of all the relevant memories to prevent the monks from probing and discovering that the puppet's spiritual thoughts were different from those of the third prince.

To the third prince's relatives, he is the third prince...

Little did he know that the third prince was secretly controlling this puppet.

And because of this incident, the third prince's soul was damaged and his realm fell. Until now, as a prince who had eaten countless genius treasures, he could only reach the realm of golden elixir.

But it was also because of this incident that when the general arrested the royal family, this man stood up..."

When Taoist Master Wu said this, he quickly knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, Xiaodao didn't know about this until a month ago."

The meaning of Wu Dao’s long words is nothing more than an admission that he ‘concealed it and refused to report it’.

Similarly, if the young master hadn't told the story and admitted his identity as the prince, Taoist Wu would not have helped with the assassination.

Because the matters of national master and incense promised by the young master can only be realized as a prince.

Director Wu is still very clear and realistic.

Including confessing some crimes early on is better than having others investigate.

But he also wants the prince to believe as soon as possible that he still has a 'big fish' in his hands, and hopes that the prince will be more generous.

"Yeah." Zhang Feng nodded slightly when he heard the third prince's brilliant strategy. He felt that the third prince had something.

This Taoist Master Wu is even more interesting. It seems that he has made two preparations.

Yes, this trip is a very risky one. Not only will you be captured if you fail, your life or death will be unpredictable, but even if you succeed, there will be disasters and you will be uneasy for the rest of your life.

Therefore, Master Wu, who is all about profit, must make some preparations.

As long as he is caught, he will report the young master's information and reveal the noble identity of the subjugated prince, hoping that Daqi will be merciful outside the law.

In addition, as an ascended monk, he is a relatively good helper.

I believe that under the influence of interests, Daqi will be more lenient.

But this information about the young master, as well as the more secret hiding spots, were all secretly investigated by Taoist Master Wu after contacting the young master.

Although the young master also told him many things, he did not tell him about these 'life-saving' matters, nor did he know that he knew anything about them.

"Then tell me where the third prince is hiding?" Zhang Feng looked at Taoist Wu.

And at the same time.

In the square outside the Chaoyan Hall.

The imperial guards who came and went were also cleaning up several corpses.

Not surprisingly, they were the assassins who carried out the assassination with Taoist Wu. They hoped to use the assassination of the Holy Lord to attack in the east and west, attract the attention of the experts in the palace, and allow Taoist Wu outside the palace to succeed.

But they didn't know until they died that their deaths were in vain.

"Eunuch Sun." The Holy Emperor was standing outside the main hall at this time, listening to the direction of the Prince's Mansion, and said to Eunuch Sun beside him: "The national destiny of the Prince's Mansion has been somewhat unstable. It seems that I guessed it right. It is indeed a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

"

The Holy One said, turning around and leading the guards in the distance towards the royal study room of the palace, "I have guards guarding me on the way back to the palace, so you don't have to follow me all the time. Go take a look outside the palace and take care of the prince."

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Sun heard this, but he followed closely and asked carefully, "If the person who assassinated the prince was an important minister of his court... what should this be like..."

Eunuch Sun said, although the words were a bit unpleasant, it was okay for others to kill the prince, but it would be a bit wrong for the prince to kill them.

But this is also for the sake of the prince, for the sake of His Majesty, and for the great Qi community.

Because if the great monks from other courts come over, you have to think about whether the other courts are conspiring to attack Da Qi.

If this is the case, then of course peace is the most important thing. First use this assassin to question one of them for their guilt, and then secretly prepare for a war and send out secret hands to break up their alliance.

This is the best way to deal with the merger of six countries.

Afterwards, I thought about it for the prince.

It is easy to consider killing one person, but most ascended monks have sects, families, and inheritances that last for hundreds or thousands of years.

If you kill him, there will be endless trouble in the future.

After all, the prince likes to travel, but he doesn't like others to follow him.

Eunuch Sun was very worried about this, fearing that these revenge seekers might find an opportunity to take advantage of the prince while he was traveling.

But when the Holy Master heard this, he turned around and looked at Eunuch Sun who hurriedly bowed. "Everything depends on what the prince wants. If he lets the assassin go, he will let the assassin go. If the prince doesn't let him go, anyone can kill him."

"Yes!" Eunuch Sun stopped talking and took the order directly to walk out of the palace.

I just waited until I got outside the palace and walked quickly to the streets of the Prince's Mansion.

Eunuch Sun saw that the prince at the corner of the street seemed to be interrogating the assassin, but he waited for more than ten seconds. When he saw that the prince had finished interrogating the prisoner and seemed to be letting the prisoner lead the way, he took a few steps forward.

When Taoist He saw Eunuch Sun approaching, he also hurriedly saluted.

However, Eunuch Sun read what the Holy Father had told him, nodded slightly, and then bowed to the prince and asked,

'My lord...how should I deal with this thief?'

'Keep it for now.' Zhang Feng returned to the edge of the sedan chair and looked at Taoist Master Wu who was being escorted in front of him. 'If he takes the wrong path and fails to catch his master, we will continue to interrogate him.'

Zhang Feng said and looked at Eunuch Sun inquiringly, 'Does your Majesty have other intentions?'

Zhang Feng didn't hide anything in his words, and directly asked Eunuch Sun about the purpose of coming. Was it because of the Holy Spirit's will and did he have any other arrangements for Taoist Master Wu?

It was Zhang Feng who had experienced so many worlds and knew that for each dynasty, the top monks, although not the foundation of the country, were still the cornerstone like pillars.

It would indeed be a pity if he killed him.

So Zhang Feng felt that the Holy Emperor might want him to relent and let Taoist Master Wu go by one horse?

Then see if you can use it for your own use?

These are all Zhang Feng's own thoughts.

Zhang Feng felt that since the Holy Sage was the Holy Sage, he must have the overall interests in mind and everything should be considered for the benefit.

But when Eunuch Sun heard Zhang Feng's inquiry, he said truthfully without thinking: 'Your Majesty told me before that no matter who the assassin is or what dynasty he is, the prince will just deal with it.'

When Eunuch Sun said this, he raised his hands and saluted again, "It's just a monk who has ascended to the throne. Your Majesty, there is no need to be soft-hearted, and there is no need to worry about His Majesty."

Zhang Feng couldn't comment and sat back on the sedan chair.

Eunuch Sun bowed again, walked to the sedan, and while signaling He Sanren to set off, he looked at Taoist He and the other six people who were guarding Taoist Wu, and asked them to return to the palace.

The remaining matters of escorting Taoist Master Wu and arresting the cult's felons can be left to him.

Otherwise, Eunuch Sun will not be at ease, and the Holy Spirit will not be at ease either.

And at the same time.

In an alley yard thirty miles away.

The young master walked back and forth on the spot, looking at the sky from time to time. Finally he could no longer maintain his strategizing look. Instead, he walked towards the house and said to the black robe,

‘Taoist Master Wu hasn’t come back yet... something must have happened...

It seems... there is no need to do the rest of the things. Now you and I will find a place to hide, wait for these two days to pass, and then find a chance to leave the city...'

'Yes!' The black robe followed the young master towards the house. 'Listening to what the young master said, the subordinates suddenly thought that there was an attack on the Banquet Palace today and Zhang Feng was assassinated by Taoist Wu. It must not be long before there are people in the imperial capital.

It's time for martial law.

Now is really not a good time to go out of town...’

'Alas...' The young master shook his head, walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and revealed a crypt entrance underneath, which led to a yard on another street.

'If Master Wu's plan succeeds, why should you and I do this?'

The young master burst into laughter and walked into the tunnel with his words full of grievance.

It seems that because of Taoist Master Wu's mistake, he had endless follow-up plans that he failed to implement.

Otherwise, you can just wait here until Director Wu comes back.

All because in his plan, as long as Taoist Master Wu succeeds, he will come here to report to him, and then he will quietly watch the chaos in the imperial capital, and then use the convenience of still being in the imperial capital to contact the rest of his fellow subjugated people in the city to plan together.

But now the Taoist Master missed it.

It's better to be dead, at least we don't know where they are hiding.

He was afraid that Taoist Master Wu was still alive, and in order to protect himself, he betrayed them.

The young master has a clear mind and always knows that the relationship between the two is more of a cooperative relationship and cannot guarantee the loyalty of Taoist Master Wu.

The previous performance of the monk's repayment of the country's subjugation was also done for the black robes to see, making them more loyal.

But things went against expectations, and something seemed to have happened to Master Wu now.

In this way, as long as Director Wu betrays them, it is wrong to leave the city and they will probably be caught.

It is even more inappropriate to stay here, as I am afraid that Taoist Master Wu will rebel against Da Qi and lead an encirclement and suppression.

We can only move some distance first and then slowly think of a solution.

Moreover, the young master also feels a little regretful now. He regrets that he told Taoist Master Wu too much and let him know his identity.

If he sells it like this, he will really be sold to the ground.

But think about it from another angle.

If he hadn't introduced himself to his family, used his identity as the prince of a subjugated country, moved him with affection, and made no secrets to Taoist Wu, making a promise, he would know about it for 'profit'.

How could an ascended monk work so hard for him?

After all, he kept it secret and told nothing, fearing that Taoist Master Wu would not even see him, let alone agree to his plan now.

And as time goes by.

The two young masters followed the secret passage and arrived at another alley courtyard a street away.

At this time, the two of them had already changed into ordinary coarse clothes, but they had a lot of banknotes in their pockets, preparing to go out overnight and find an ordinary house a little further away.

As for how to keep it secret, the dead are the safest, so that's not a problem.

The premise is to use a banknote to open the door and then silence yourself inside the house, so that there will be minimal noise.

The young master has already settled everything and is just waiting to find someone to live with.

But just when they came out of the yard.

‘Wow!’ The lights were brightly lit in an instant.

The young master looked at Zhang Feng and the others outside the door, as well as the silent Taoist Wu, and then at Eunuch Sun next to Zhang Feng. Knowing that with the eagle dog beside the emperor, he would never be able to run away, he also stopped in his tracks.

, in exchange for a casual smile, he asked Zhang Feng: "Are you Zhang Feng? I didn't expect you to be alive..."

"Bold!" When Eunuch Sun saw the young master calling the prince by his name, he immediately glared with murderous intent. The moisture in the air filled the air and turned into ice crystals.

The young master looked at Eunuch Sun who could kill him at any time. Although he was scared, he gritted his teeth and kept a calm look on his face, as if he was unmoved.

Without saying a word, the black-robed man stood in front of the young master, looking as if he was ready to die, and looked at Taoist Master Wu with hatred.

Zhang Feng glanced at the young master who was keeping calm, raised his hand to stop Eunuch Sun who wanted to take action, and asked Eunuch Sun: "Eunuch Sun, what is the crime of sending someone to assassinate this king?"

"Go back to the prince." When Eunuch Sun heard the prince's question, he immediately bowed carefully and saluted, and the surrounding ice crystals dissipated. "Those who assassinate and participate in the assassination of the prince shall be punished. They will bring disaster to the nine tribes, demolish the temples and statues, and interrupt the eternal inheritance of incense."

"Yes." Zhang Feng nodded and looked at the young master who was almost unsteady on his feet.

snap—

After the young master saw that Zhang Feng was about to execute him without asking any questions, the fear in his heart could no longer be suppressed and he knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Taoist Master Wu also knelt down beside him, begging for mercy and shouted: "Please remember that you have done meritorious service in leading the way... Please be merciful..."
