Eunuch Lu quickly entered the imperial study room.

The old emperor glanced at it and put down the letter in his hand.

"Come?"

Eunuch Lu quickly bowed and replied:

"Report to Your Majesty, the man is here, and that person is here too."

The old emperor snorted and pushed away the teacup in front of him.

"Ha, how about the death or injury?"

"When I returned from Panshi Town, I was attacked on the way, and a substitute maid and more than twenty guards died."

The old emperor sighed, and did not rush to let someone come in, and raised his hand to rub his temples.

At this time, a man standing at the lower head bowed to the old emperor, with a childish face and a gray Taoist robe, unable to judge the age of this person from his face.

"Don't bother the saint, it's good to come back. At least it won't be honest. If you lose the royal face, you will make the Western Zhou Dynasty laugh. I will retreat first to avoid embarrassment from the nobles!"

The old emperor shook his head.

"Zhengren He doesn't need to step down. I will continue to talk to me about practicing Taoism later. I still need to solve my doubts. Lu Jiu will let me come in."

Eunuch Lu quickly withdrew and then brought Wang Xianwu and Li Mi in. They were wearing armor, and Wang Xianwu knelt on one knee first.

"My teacher, Panshi Zhenwei, the captain Wang Xianwu, bowed to the saint, and the saint was blessed with happiness."

"My son pays homage to the father."

Li Mi also knelt down next to her, but she didn't even dare to raise her head.

The old emperor glanced at Wang Xianwu.

"Thank you for your hard work in the Captain Zhenwei, please be free from giving me a gift."

"I thanked the saint."

Wang Xianwu stood up and stood with his head down.

After glanced at Li Mi on the ground, she was quite honest now, and seemed to be different from what her brother said in her letter. Didn’t she say she was a arrogant princess?

Why do you look like a quail now, wanting to hide yourself?

"Thank you for your hard work to escort the princess all the way. Lu Jiu planned to enfeoff the mother of the Wangduwei as a young man, and rewarded him with a hundred pieces of brocade and a hundred taels of silver."

Wang Xianwu quickly knelt down again, and the reward he gave to his mother was actually the honor he gave to the two brothers.

"My mother thanks the saint for rewarding."

The old emperor waved his hand, and Wang Xianwu quickly stood up and took a step back.

"I ran far enough, I have arrived in Jiang'an. I ask you, where is the person sent by the Monster Hunter to protect you?"

The old emperor's eyes fell on Li Mi.

Li Mi shivered when she heard this and hurriedly lay on the ground.

"It's all the arbitrary. They were caught up by the demon sect in Jiang'an. Then Xu Gongzhu brought people to him. Erchen... Erchen thought that since they have arrived in Jiang'an, they can't just come back like this.

So I had to go to Baisha Castle to check out across the river. This was really a suffocating voice, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived near Hejiang, Erchen was stunned. Then we were attacked, and none of the guards were spared, and even Xu Gongzhu was killed."

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and clenched his fingers holding the handrail for a moment, and his voice also increased a little.

"All dead?"

Li Mi shivered, her head almost touched the ground, and she had no courage to look up. Thunder was furious. She had to take it.

"They are all dead, and all the bodies were buried in a valley outside Hejiang County. The relics and the things from the leader assassin were brought back together. After all, the bodies were inconvenient to transport them."

The old emperor was silent. He Zhenren, who was standing beside him, kept closing his eyes. When he heard this, he looked at the old emperor.

"Sage, can I see those things?"

The old emperor nodded and looked at Wang Xianwu. Wang Xianwu quickly knelt on one knee.

"Report to Your Majesty, the things are in the coffin at the Nangong Gate. After all, I was assassinated again on the way back to Beijing. More than 20 brothers died, and the princess's substitute was also dead. After thinking about it, I could only hide the things in the coffin and transport them back."

The old emperor waved his hand, and Lu Jiu was quick and went out to make arrangements quickly. Li Mi just lay down honestly, not daring to move.

After waiting for a long time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Lu Jiu walked in with a bag. There was a piece of paper sewn outside the bag with Xu Gongzhu's name written on it.

Without hello, Zhenren He walked over first, opened and picked up a horizontal knife inside, put his finger on it for a while before letting go, and sighed slightly.

"It's a pity that Xu Gongzhu is the most capable disciple of Master Zhang. He is already at level 5, only one step away from Master Tian. It seems that the person who killed him is also a master."

Without Wang Xianwu's introduction, Lu Jiu had already come over with a bunch, which contained several sets of robes, one half-parted black clothes, one gray Taoist robe, and a white middle clothes, and two pants at the bottom.

He Zhenren seemed a little surprised, picked up the pouch and observed it carefully, and walked to the old emperor with the pouch.

Looking at this action, you can tell that this person has a close relationship with the old emperor and is very casual.

"The saint's clothes are also embroidered with golden bats on the inner side of the saint's clothes. This is the unique clothes of my inner disciple of Maoshan Sect. However, there is one missing in this clothes, usually three sacks are strung together, and the one that is lost should be filled with elixirs."

The old emperor leaned over and took a look, but was not very excited or confused, but turned to look at Lu Jiu.

"Not?"

Lu Jiu quickly waved his hand to the back, and the four little eunuchs swayed up a slender cloth roll, which seemed to be wrapped in something heavy.

Zhenren He walked directly to the front, pulled the cover cloth away, grabbed the iron rod and looked up and down carefully, then his eyes were filled with tears and his body shook for a while.

He turned around, poked the iron rod to the ground, bowed to the old emperor.

"This is the weapon of Zhu Sanchun, a disciple of my closed family, but... I'm asking your Majesty to blame me. It's because I'm incompetent in discipline, and I actually let those who are interested take advantage of the loopholes."

Wang Xianwu was confused when he heard this. Why did his disciple's clothes and weapons suddenly say that people took advantage of loopholes? Isn't this an iron-like fact?

The old Taoist looked sad, and the key saint seemed to have no doubt at all, and was still patting the old Taoist's arm with comfort. What's going on?

"Don't be sad if you are real people. I know that the death of the disciples is gone, so naturally I can't blame you. However, since these people dare to steal the Maoshan Sect's things, they obviously want to mess up the situation."

Only then did He Zhenren put away his sadness and bow to the old emperor and said:

"What the saint said is that the channel has been stationed in the capital for the past six months and has not returned to Maoshan. The sect has neglected management, which has caused a loophole. Moreover, the other party has killed all the guards, including a level five monster catcher, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

I just checked Xu Gongzhu's horizontal sword, which had many cracks and curled blades on it. This was a horizontal sword made of black iron, which shows how fierce the battle was at that time. However, since the opponent was so powerful, I wonder how to repel and save the princess?”

As soon as this statement was spoken, He Zhenren and the old emperor looked at Wang Xianwu at the same time.

Wang Xianwu trembled, knelt on one knee, and greeted the ancestors of the old Taoist Magistrates in his heart.

"I received my brother's letter, which said that his brother Wang Xiankui went to Hejiang County for military pay. After discussing with Hejiang County Magistrate Zhou Ze, I wanted to check the situation of food transportation, and just passed through this forest.

Then the cat demon who protected him around Zhou Ming's mansion felt that Xu Gongzhu was in trouble, so he rushed over with the man in black. The man in black escaped while the chaos was in trouble. However, the person in the leader seemed to be greedy for me and returned, and was killed by the cat demon and a group of guards."

The old emperor was stunned.

"Cat Demon?"

Zhenren He stroked his beard and looked calm, as if he knew about the cat demon.

"I heard that last year, this disciple of Zhang Tianshi saved a demon clan orphan. I think it might be it, but for some reason, he can follow a county magistrate?"

The old emperor also paused and then looked at Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu quickly bowed and said:

"When you go back to your Majesty, it seems that the demon clan has an argument that he will repay his kindness after being rescued, but Xu Gongzhu is a demon catching master and cannot make a contract with him. I wonder if he has had some contact with this Zhou Ming Mansion, so that the descendants of the demon clan protect him. After all, the long-term non-contracting power will also be damaged."

Zhenren He stroked his beard and agreed with these words very much.

"Well, I have heard that being rescued by humans must repay kindness, otherwise it will damage your cultivation. This is understandable."

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and could not see joy or anger.

Then his eyes fell on Li Mi, and he snorted, and Li Mi shivered.

"Get up, don't kneel here and get annoyed. If you are going to be in trouble, you will be taught a lesson by King Rong'an. You will be punished for a month first, and you will know where the mistake is. Then come to me to explain it."

Li Mi didn't say nonsense, she quickly got up and retreated.

The old emperor leaned on the chair and seemed to close his eyes. Wang Xianwu was speechless. What does this mean?

After waiting for a while, the old emperor opened his eyes.
