After Zhou Xingyun said hello, he left the east chamber alone to find Zen Master Tianhu...
Anyway, when Zhou Xingyun was plotting against Zen Master Tianhu a few days ago, he wandered around the mansion whenever he had something to do. The guards in the courtyard were all used to his unusual actions...
Seeing Zhou Xingyun wandering around, the guards guarding the east chamber spontaneously went to inform Shen Quan and Zen Master Tianhu.
Zen Master Tianhu came to Zhou Xingyun, which means that Qingtian Xiong and others have already discussed the next countermeasures.
Hengyu, the master of the Spirit Snake Palace, had just left Qingtian Xiong's study room when he noticed someone following him.
However, Hengyu did not pursue the person who was following him, but returned to his room calmly.
"I never expected that the rumored prodigal from Jianshu would actually be the young master of the crown prince of our dynasty."
Hengyu entered the wing, and as soon as he closed the door, a beautiful female voice came to his ears. The next second, Ren Jiechan's charming figure appeared in Hengyu's wing without anyone noticing...
"Didn't I ask you to be on standby in the courtyard? Eavesdropping is not a good habit." Hengyu said lightly. When Qingtian Xiong was discussing with them, he noticed that Ren Jiechan was eavesdropping outside the study.
"But you didn't stop me." Ren Jiechan replied with a smile. She knew very well that she was an extremely good warrior and could eavesdrop on Qingtian Xiong and others' discussion of countermeasures, so there was no way she could hide it from Hengyu.
Therefore, Ren Jiechan made no secret, and the first words he spoke were the top priority of the discussion between Qingtian Xiong and others in the study room.
"If your behavior is discovered by others, it will cause me a lot of trouble." Hengyu didn't mind very much and let Ren Jiechan know what they talked about in the study room. In other words, Ren Jiechan has always been like this and likes to go his own way. , to inquire about the news around him.
Hengyu didn't dislike Ren Jiechan's actions. It felt very strange to have a stunning beauty by his side who was secretly monitoring his actions all the time.
However, if Xuanyang Tianzun and others find Ren Jiechan, it will be difficult for him to explain.
"Didn't you cover it up for me?" Ren Jiechan said casually. With her current strength, it was almost impossible to eavesdrop on the conversation in the study without being noticed by Xuanyang Tianzun and others.
However, Xuanyang Tianzun, Shen Quan, and Ximen Lengbang did not notice her. This can only mean that Hengyu secretly used skills to help her hide her aura.
Because of this, Ren Jiechan talked openly and honestly with Hengyu, or maybe Ren Jiechan eavesdropped on the conversation between Qingtian Xiong and others, and expected that Hengyu would help her hide her aura.
"Your style is still as bold as ever. However, your actions today were really thoughtless. The killers of the Temple of the Dead are best at concealment and assassination. Even if I help you, you can't escape Ximen Lengbang's eyes and ears. Fortunately, he You are a smart man and know that exposing you will not benefit our current situation. Otherwise, you will probably become a spy who betrays us."
In Qingtian Xiong's study, Hengyu openly suspected that there was a spy, and asked the people in charge, including himself, to carefully examine his subordinates. In fact, it had another meaning, and he wanted to show it to Ximen Lengbang.
Because Ximen Lengbang obviously noticed that he deliberately protected Ren Jiechan and allowed her to eavesdrop on everyone's conversations.
"Oh, you mean you suspect that I am a traitor?" Ren Jiechan asked with a calm smile.
Ren Jiechan was very smart. Through Hengyu's words, he secretly guessed whether Hengyu was suspicious of her.
"Doubts don't count. After all, I really can't think of any reason why you would seek refuge with the other party."
Hengyu said straight to the point, he had no doubt at all that Ren Jiechan had betrayed the Spirit Snake Palace.
Although, when the evil masters besieged the Wulin Alliance camp, dozens of Spirit Snake Palace disciples who were responsible for detonating explosives in the high mountains behind, none of them except Ren Jiechan survived, which made Hengyu feel very unusual.
However, Ren Jiechan has been working for the Spirit Snake Palace for many years. She and Han Qiumiao and others are not relatives and have no contact points from the beginning to the end. Hengyu can't find it or think of it.
The reason and opportunity for Han Qiumiao to betray himself.
If Ren Jiechan knew Princess Yongming a few years ago, then she might be a traitor. The problem is that Hengyu knew everything about Ren Jiechan's past, so it is impossible for her to know Han Qiumiao and others...
Anyone who interacts with Ren Jiechan will almost never end well. Now Ren Jiechan has almost no other choice but to hide under the protection of the Spirit Snake Palace to escape the revenge and pursuit of the Zhengdao disciples.
"It's just..." Hengyu suddenly changed the topic and couldn't help but question Ren Jiechan: "Although I don't doubt you, I am very curious. You joined the Spirit Snake Palace and have served me for many years. You have never failed in your mission. But this time
In an important and foolproof plan, not only did you fail, but you also caused me to lose dozens of Spirit Snake Palace guards."
"I've said before that I'm not suitable to join forces with outsiders." Ren Jiechan said honestly. When Hengyu asked her to assist the Xuanyang Sect, she made her position clear. She had always been a loner and rarely interacted with others.
The Spirit Snake Palace cooperates with the same sect, let alone assists outsiders.
Therefore, she could not guarantee whether this mission would be a success or failure. After all, she had to obey orders. If the disciples of the Xuanyang Sect had different intentions towards her and did not let her know the core of the plan, what could she do? What could she do if the matter was left to her?
Taking care of everything, Ren Jiechan can guarantee that she will definitely complete the task.
Ren Jiechan once said that if Xuanyang Tianzun had not ordered her to inform the Five Elements Taoist of Xuanyang Sect, and then she accidentally discovered gunpowder at the stronghold where the evil sect gathered, Xuanyang Tianzun would not have allowed her to follow the Five Elements Taoist.
To the cliffs of the mountains.
In other words, she didn't know that the Xuanyang Sect was going to blow up the mountain until the eve of the operation. In the end, it was revealed. Is it her fault? From the beginning, Xuanyang Tianzun did not include her in the plan...
"It's not your fault that the mission failed, and I don't intend to blame you for it. It's just that I'm very dissatisfied with the way you handled the mission after it failed." Hengyu said honestly: "Anyway, your
Insufficient response capabilities have resulted in the loss of dozens of elites in the Spirit Snake Palace. If I don’t do something, I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.”
"Oh? How does the palace master plan to punish me?" Ren Jiechan asked with a smile, but his lower abdomen secretly raised his energy, preparing for a surprise attack and counterattack.
Ren Jiechan was very aware of Hengyu's methods. If he really wanted to use poisonous methods to deal with himself like he punished the maids of the Spirit Snake Palace who failed in their missions, then Ren Jiechan could only make a desperate move and escape to the east chamber with all his strength to seek the protection of Zhou Xingyun.
Although doing so would bring big trouble to Zhou Xingyun and others, she really couldn't think of any other way to save her life.
"This is a new medicine I have recently prepared... Don't worry, it does not contain any toxins and will only make people passionate for one night." Hengyu flicked his fingers, and the white pill in his hand fell into Ren Jiechan's palm.
"You want me to eat it?" A cold look flashed in Ren Jiechan's eyes. This was Hengyu's usual method of punishing the maids of the Spirit Snake Palace.
"Jie Chan, you don't need to be so vigilant. The effect of this pill is very ordinary. With your current internal strength and concentration, I estimate that if you take it, you only need to endure and adjust your breath for half a day to resolve its effects.
There are too many inconveniences." Hengyu smiled expectantly and said, "However, if you can't help it, you can come to me and ask for the antidote. I really want to see you begging for help."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the palace master. Chan'er never likes to ask for help." Ren Jiechan opened his mouth slightly and swallowed the pill calmly as if eating a blueberry.
Ren Jiechan has stayed in the Spirit Snake Palace for so many years, and he knows Hengyu relatively well. This guy who thinks he is noble should not try to deceive her at this time.
He said that the potency of this pill was very ordinary. She could adjust her breath and suppress her internal energy. There was no doubt that it was true, but... the specific situation might make her a little embarrassed.
Ren Jiechan thought carefully and decided that it would be better to accept Hengyu's punishment decisively than to reject him.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Ren Jiechan couldn't beat Hengyu, so he could only compromise and choose a relatively safe approach: "Is the palace master satisfied now?"
On the other side, Zhou Xingyun wandered around the mansion for thirty minutes and finally found an opportunity to have a secret conversation with Zen Master Tianhu.
"What are you talking about? Qingtian Xiong already knows my identity?" When Zhou Xingyun heard Zen Master Tianhu's words, he couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that his identity as Prince Consort Captain would be exposed.
"The King of the Western Region wrote a secret letter to Qingtian Xiong and told us all your details." Zen Master Tianhu told Zhou Xingyun about their situation in Qingtian Xiong's study this morning: "You actually
He is Her Royal Highness the Princess’s consort, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
"Tell me earlier? You used to be Qingtian Xiong's man, why should I tell you?" Zhou Xingyun rolled his eyes angrily. Zen Master Tianhu was really funny.
"That's not right. Didn't you have an affair with the little girl from Narcissus Pavilion? Did you have a quarrel with her master? The elder of Narcissus Pavilion didn't seem to know that you were the prince-in-law."
Zen Master Tianhu was confused for a moment. If Elder Shao of Shuixian Pavilion knew that Zhou Xingyun was the prince-in-law, she would definitely not dare to aggressively call him a bad boy who would harm her precious female disciple.
The prince-in-law has taken a liking to her precious female disciple, that’s a blessing, isn’t it?
"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, so you should stay out of this matter." Zhou Xingyun couldn't laugh or cry. Isn't he doing this for Suyao? Only if Wei Suyao's master sincerely recognizes them, Wei Suyao can
I will happily marry him and let him do whatever he wants...
"I just said that old shrew has no vision."
"Shh! Pay attention! That's my mother-in-law! Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud, otherwise if Suyao hears it, she will definitely become anxious with you." Zhou Xingyun quickly stopped Zen Master Tianhu from talking nonsense, and then asked
He got down to business: "Now that Qingtian Xiong knows my identity, how does he plan to deal with me?"
Zhou Xingyun is now very concerned about Qingtian Xiong's next action.
Han Qiumiao just said that he would try to delay time so that he could wait for the cavalry from the Pioneer Battalion to arrive in the north and join forces with the rebel army formed by the Wulin Alliance.
Zhou Xingyun was worried that after Qingtian Xiong knew his identity, he would lose his temper and go to war with them.
