Chapter 246: Shadow
"There is only so much information that can be found. The Yinjia Guard sent to inquire did not stop for a long time. He came back first. I guess Zhang Zhixiong and the others would set out one day later. After all, there was no one in the Southern Demon Hunting Division, so this time it suffered heavy losses."
Zhou Ze nodded and sent a peeled grape to Xiaobai. Xiaobai wanted to reach out, but Zhou Ze moved the grape away, but he had no choice but to open his mouth and take it.
Only then did Zhou Ze put down the plate with satisfaction, wiped his fingers with a veil, and looked at Liu Cheng who was talking.
"Have your Highness known?"
"Yes, Bei Zhizhe told Your Highness about this. Your Highness said that Zhou Changshi needs to take care of Miss Bai. He asked me to come over and tell you the passage and ask you what you think."
Zhou Ze paused, and the result was not too surprising.
After all, I had known that this Zhenren He would have a counterattack, but I didn't expect that the old emperor would be so stupid and trust He so much. Perhaps there was still something unknown here.
"It's not an accident. The Demon Hunters cannot be compared with the Maoshan Sect at this time, especially the saint is suspicious. The more Zhang Zhixiong explains, the more he seems to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. He Zhenren really knows the saint.
But what I can’t understand is when did Zhenren He start to influence the saints so much?
Remember that Master Zhang almost lost his life in order to save the saint, and his skills were greatly damaged. Could it be that time?"
"Twenty years ago, after Fengshan, the saints were assassinated, and the imperial guards were guarding the imperial guards and the demon hunters were in danger. In order to get the saint out of danger, Zhang Tianshi used the forbidden technique to forcibly improve his cultivation and repel the assassinated people.
Although he escaped by chance that time, his dantian was destroyed and he was in seclusion for more than half a year. When he came out again and returned to the demon hunting department, he realized that Zhenren He didn't know where to start, and he would accompany you."
Zhou Ze said oh.
"In other words, the Demon Hunting Office was very valued twenty years ago, so why didn't He Zhenren appear all of a sudden? Who introduced him to the palace before? Why was he appreciated by the saint?"
Liu Cheng thought about it, after all, he is not as old as Xu.
"In this investigation into the information of the Liu family in Hanzhong, I found that the Liu family was deeply involved with the Maoshan School. From the beginning of Queen Liu's entry into the palace, the saints had records of taking pills. At first, it was a elixir presented by the Liu family, and later he introduced He Zhenren to the palace.
Therefore, He Zhenren should have been familiar with the saint thirty years ago. After all, the saint had a son since then. Later, in order to prolong his life, he sought a way to live forever. A minister had impeached He Zhenren, but the impeacher was searched for a long time.
As for what happened during Zhang Tianshi's recovery twenty years ago, Beizhi has not found out yet."
Zhou Ze nodded, and the timeline was also in line with each other. What was missing was the details. The relationship between He Zhenren and the prince was definitely not ordinary, and 40% similarity was at least related to blood.
"The people who went to check on the Liu family have not all returned yet?"
Liu Cheng nodded, his face seemed a little embarrassed, and Zhou Ze waved his hand.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from Old Xu that Xuanmiaoguan has calmed down these days?"
"According to the plan, the woman and the Taoist priest were arrested the next day. Many people watched and saw the two of them being miserable. Xuanmiao Temple was directly smashed by the people, and the woman and the Taoist priest were taken away by the bad guys for interrogation.
The remaining Taoist priests escaped overnight, and there was no one in Xuanmiao Temple. His Highness ordered a thorough investigation of all Taoist temples in the southern territory. In five days, there were no Taoist temples and temples in the southern territory, so a few temples were left behind. This did not move."
The result is pretty good, but on the surface, Zhenren He seems to have not been affected, but all the civil and military officials in the court will not be invisible, and many things that have accumulated over time will burst out.
After all, many old ministers don’t like such a domineering sect and support the prince.
"Okay, let them work hard. As long as they don't keep their eyes on the southern border, it's not easy for them to know the news about the southern border. After all, this time it's cleaned up."
Liu Cheng bowed and bowed.
"Yes, they are all planned by the Chief Secretary. I will not disturb the Chief Secretary's rest in the afternoon. His Highness said that he would ask you to go and see the training of the Silver Armor Guard. Since he adjusted the selection and training methods according to the Chief Secretary's suggestions, the people in the Silver Armor Guard have made a lot of progress."
Zhou Ze glanced at Xiaobai. Her face was already much rosy, but in fact the wound had healed long ago.
"Okay, then go and have a look!"
Liu Cheng turned around and left. Xiaobai changed his position and turned to look at Zhou Ze on his side.
"These things have been handled almost the same. Should you go and meet that Miss Chen Jiu?"
Zhou Ze nodded, and Lao Xu and Cui Yi also came back from investigating. Not to mention that what Chen Jiu said was indeed the truth. Chen Jiu's father was almost killed by a sentence from the Maoshan Sect, and everyone in the Chen family knew about this.
"Then you rest first. I'll go see her. There is such a person that makes me feel uneasy. If it really doesn't work, I will terminate my cooperation with the Chen family."
Xiaobai waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"I don't think it's necessary. Chen Jiu didn't do his best that night. Her ability was not inferior to me. Such a person easily terminated his cooperation, which was not a good thing. We just need to be more careful."
Zhou Ze pursed his lips. This was also what he was worried about, but he wanted to continue to cooperate. He was worried that Xiaobai would care. At this moment, Zhou Ze was still very moved.
"Okay, you rest, I'll go back."
Zhou Ze took Lao Xu and Cui Yi and stepped into the Tingji Business.
The two boys at the door saw it from afar.
One quickly turned around and ran upstairs, and the remaining one came respectfully to salute.
"I have seen Mr. Tang. Our head has been waiting for a long time. Please come upstairs!"
Zhou Ze nodded with a smile, without being too polite, nor was there any surprise. After all, Chen Jiu is a smart person. He knew that he would come and followed this kid to the second floor.
Old Xu followed closely, and Cui Yi was holding a box behind him. Judging from the size of the box, it was enough to hold one person.
When he arrived at the second floor, Chen Jiu was already standing in front of the door and looked at Zhou Ze with his hands behind his back.
She was wearing a blue and white dress without any excessive decorations. She wore a woman's golden crown and beaded hairpin on her head. The remaining hair was spread over her shoulders. She obviously didn't want to pretend to be a man again.
However, on Chen Jiu, a shadow that was almost the same as her flashed, and it coincided with Chen Jiu. Although it was fast, Zhou Ze saw it clearly.
The shadow was exactly the same as Chen Jiu, but the clothes seemed to be different. As for what was different, he couldn't say it. The shadow's eyes were cold, as if they could penetrate people's hearts, carrying the breath of a superior.
This discovery made Zhou Ze stunned. What's going on?
After seeing the Gate of Hell, Zhou Ze could see that everyone had white or black mist on their bodies, and there were very few solid heart ghosts. Even though He Zhenren was sitting on his shoulders, a woman in palace clothes was sitting.
Just when he was stunned, Chen Jiu was already speaking.
"Young Master Tang came so early?"
Zhou Ze's face turned red. This sentence was heart-wrenching. It was six or seven days since the incident happened. It was really a bit late.
"Miss Chen Jiu should not say this. Please call Zhou a real name. Thank you Miss Chen Jiu for helping you that day. I'm here to thank you today!"
Chen Jiu smiled. He didn't think such a smile was so beautiful when he was in men's clothing. Now he changed into women's clothing, and it seemed different. It was like a cold plum blossom, but the lonely cold had a faint fragrance, which was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
"Please come in quickly and have tea!"
As he said that, he reached out to the room, Zhou Ze was not polite and hurried into the room, and the guests and guests were placed in the seat, and the servants stepped back. Old Xu sat down at Zhou Ze, and Cui Yi stood in front of the box, without any intention of leaving. After all, Chen Jiu's ability is worrying.
Zhou Ze waved his hand and Cui Yi opened the box.
"I came a few days later and was preparing to thank Miss Chen Jiu. I think Miss Chen Jiu doesn't care whether it is expensive or not, but it is better because of my intentions. Here is a set of jewelry and a dress designed by Zhou himself, and the rest is a poem."
Chen Jiu got up, walked to Zhou Ze, picked up the scroll first, pulled the knot, and expanded it to see. There were two lines of poetry on it.
