Zu Anxin was very restless. Now in the palace where dangers are everywhere, he really didn't dare to be careless.
Although his cultivation level is good now, there are countless people who are better than him in places like the palace, and there are many people in the world who are good at hiding their appearance. It is normal for him to not be able to sense the opponent with his Qi machine.
So he hurriedly used the ability of the jade cong to communicate with the nearby small animals and view the situation within a radius of ten feet through their perspectives.
Except for the guards who patrol from time to time, there are no other people around...
Wait, Zu An suddenly saw an acquaintance at the corner a few feet away, a fair and fat father-in-law.
"Is it him?" Zu An frowned suddenly. This person was Eunuch Wen beside the emperor.
Normally, Eunuch Wen always smiles when he talks to everyone, and he looks extremely kind because of his plump appearance. But now he has a gloomy look on his face, which is completely different from his usual image of a good old man.
Is this his true face?
Zu An felt a shiver in his heart, as he had really been deceived by his smiling appearance before.
I thought that the King of Qi had suffered a setback before, so he sent someone to follow him and take revenge on him, but in the end, someone close to the emperor came.
Could it be that the emperor has been sending people to follow me?
No, with the emperor's terrifying spiritual thoughts before, there was no need to send anyone to follow him. Moreover, this feeling of being followed just happened. It should be after he offended King Qi. Hey, could Eunuch Wen be King Qi's?
people?
With this thought, Zu An was startled. You must know that Eunuch Wen is a person close to the emperor. If even he was bribed by King Qi, it would show the terror of King Qi.
But in this way, it seems that the emperor is a bit stupid. With his power, he doesn't even know that the people around him have been bribed? Impossible.
But he immediately thought of the movies and TV shows he watched in his previous life. The less likely the murderer is, the more likely the real murderer...
All kinds of thoughts popped up, and he felt like his head was in a mess.
At this time, I saw Eunuch Wen adjusting his clothes behind the corner, then rubbing his chubby face, and the usual smile appeared on his face again.
After passing the corner, he looked at Zu An with a mixture of surprise and surprise: "Master Zu, you made it easy for me to find him."
Zu An forced a smile. Knowing that he had two faces, it was really difficult to deal with it as easily as before: "It turns out to be Eunuch Wen. I don't know what you want to see me for."
Eunuch Wen said with a smile: "The emperor wants to see you, please come to the imperial study room."
At this time, the sun was clearly shining on him, but seeing his smiling face, Zu An felt a chill for no reason: "Thank you, father-in-law, I'll be there right away."
"Master Zu, please!" Eunuch Wen said with a smile.
Zu Anxing
After bowing, he followed him to the imperial study room.
After meeting the emperor several times, he is now not as scared as before.
Anyway, the emperor still has several important things that must be handled by him. At most, he can use the imperial power to beat him, but he won't really do anything to him.
On the contrary, he felt that it was hard to guard against this Eunuch Wen who had a knife hidden in his smile.
How about checking with the emperor privately later to see if he is actually King Qi’s person?
As soon as the thought came up, Zu An killed it.
If Eunuch Wen was sent by the emperor to monitor me, I would be exposed by asking this question.
Even if there is really something wrong with Eunuch Wen, I have no evidence now. As the saying goes, if you are not close, you will not be close. He has served the emperor for so many years, and the emperor must trust him more.
Afterwards, Eunuch Wen took revenge, which was quite troublesome.
So it's better not to be exposed first. Now Eunuch Wen doesn't know that I know his true identity. Instead, I am in the dark. Once exposed, I will lose the advantage of this information gap.
"Master Zu, what's on your mind today?" At this moment, Eunuch Wen's laughing voice came from the side, "It seems much duller than usual."
Zu An's heart trembled, maybe he saw the flaw, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "I am always a little scared when the emperor summons me."
"That's it," Eunuch Wen was relieved. "Actually, Mr. Zu, there is no need to worry too much. I think the emperor seems to be in a good mood today."
"Thank you for the tip, father-in-law." Zu An casually stuffed two more 100-tael silver notes into it. With such an old Yin comparison, it's better to hold on tight first.
Seeing the silver, Eunuch Wen smiled even more happily, and his eyes almost narrowed into slits.
All the way to the imperial study room, Eunuch Wen was guarding outside, Zu An walked in, and the emperor was reading a book on the dragon chair, his expression was quite leisurely.
"See Your Majesty." Zu An saluted.
The emperor hummed and put down the book after a while: "Have you let the assassin in the sky prison go?"
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Zu An secretly complained. Didn't you ask the question knowingly? Your spiritual thoughts came to you at that time, okay?
The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Do the people in the Demon Cult have any doubts?"
"Probably not, I put the blame on King Qi..." Then he told his plan in a very simple way... well, no, it was true and false.
"You are clever. This way, those people in Tianlao will not be suspicious afterwards, and the news will not be leaked." A faint smile appeared on the emperor's face. This guy can move around in the market better than many majors.
A minister who was born is much easier to use, and other people would probably not be able to do things so beautifully.
Zu An hurriedly said: "But after I got out of the prison, I accidentally bumped into King Qi. At that time, he
Those members of the Demon Cult who were pretending to be guards became suspicious. At the critical moment, I had to trick him and say that the leader of the guards, Liu Chenyu, was called away by the emperor..."
The emperor laughed: "I didn't expect that the second guy is usually very resourceful, but today he was fooled by you."
Zu An looked strange. He knew that the two were brothers, the emperor was the eldest son, and King Qi was the second son, ranking second, but the second son sounded so strange.
He didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he hurriedly said: "I am just clever. King Qi was also fooled when he was not paying attention. Afterwards, he will find out that I was lying."
When he said this, he showed a worried expression at the right time.
Hey, I have been fighting with these old yins in the palace for a long time, and I am almost becoming an old yin.
The emperor waved his hand casually: "You don't have to worry about this, I will make arrangements for it."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that King Qi would check Liu Chenyu's whereabouts. Now that the emperor said so, there must be no problem.
The emperor pondered for a moment and then said: "How can you complete the first task I assigned you if you have offended King Qi so much now?"
Zu An explained: "The King of Qi is suspicious and the city is very deep. If I directly show my favor to him and give him the fake secret book, he will be suspicious. So now I will do the opposite and let him think that he is doing it through his own efforts."
Once you get the real secrets, it will be easier to practice.”
"Well, yes, that makes sense." The emperor nodded. Based on his understanding of his brother, it was indeed as he described.
Zu An suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I was slapped three times by King Qi just now. I'm worried that he will use some vicious technique similar to the Bone Transforming Palm, leaving some dark energy in my body that will make me isolated.
I died suddenly and unexplained for a period of time. Can the emperor take a look at it for me? My personal life and death are very small, and I am afraid that it will delay the emperor's mission."
The emperor was stunned. After hearing his description, he realized what the Bone-Transforming Cotton Palm was, and his expression became a little solemn: "Come here and let me take a look."
"Yes!" Zu An was overjoyed. With the help of this most powerful man in the world, even if King Qi really imposed any restrictions, they could be easily lifted.
The emperor observed him for a while, then suddenly took action and lightly patted him three times: "Okay."
Zu An was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This is when the emperor sneered and said: "Don't be too happy too early. King Qi does not know the kind of prohibition method you described. On the contrary, I just know it. What you just said reminded me, so I specially placed a prohibition on you, so that you can
Only then will you be more attentive to the tasks I assigned."
Zu An: "???"

I wish you all a happy May Day. I don’t know where you went to be cool.
I have to go back and forth between home and the hospital. I’m so exhausted. I’m afraid that’s the only update for today. I’ll resume normal updates from tomorrow on.
