Chapter six hundred and eighty first concealment

The moonlight coated the cold night with a soft halo. At this time, Xu Yan was sitting in the meditation room quietly waiting for someone to arrive.

"Your Highness, it's too late to come down." He Xun's voice suddenly rang outside the door, breaking the silence of the room.

Xu Yan had been waiting for him for a long time, and at this time he said lightly: "Come in." He Xun received her order and quickly came in and closed the door.

He Xun knelt on the ground and replied: "My subordinates are incompetent and have not found any more information."

Xu Yan didn't speak for a long time until He Xun thought she wouldn't reply to him, Xu Yan suddenly said, "You have been searching for me for so many years, but I have never asked you where you know these news. I don't ask you, because people always have some secrets. There is nothing that you will say. If you want to say one day, you will naturally say. Why bother to pursue it? As long as your heart is here."

"But, He Xun." Xu Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at He Xun calmly: "If I want to know now, can you let me know?" Xu Yan asked lightly, but it was a question that He Xun could not answer.

Xu Yan looked at He Xun who had always been aware of everything and suddenly disappeared. He turned his head and stopped asking him. But she suddenly picked up a string of rosary beads on the cabinet, gently stroked each wooden bead with her fingers and said, "I don't mean to blame you this time. It's just that the situation is urgent now. If you are doing something in a gang, I hope to use my relationship to give you more power in this gang to mobilize more people to obtain information. Do you understand?"

He Xun understood Xu Yan's meaning. Although Xu Yan did not say it clearly and did not mean to blame him in his words, he still felt that his mission did not achieve the effect she wanted. He silently lowered his head and covered the loss in his eyes.

The air suddenly became quiet again, and He Xun didn't speak for a long time. Just when Xu Yan stopped twisting the Buddhist beads and was about to ask him to retreat, He Xun suddenly kowtowed at her a few times and said, "I have concealed your highness for so many years, please punish him!" Xu Yan silently supported her forehead. It seemed that he still couldn't understand what she meant.

Just when Xu Yan gave up hearing some valuable news from him, he suddenly said, "Your Highness, you saved your life, so I have no need to hide it. In fact, I have been working in Qianjimen for so many years."

Xu Yan frowned calmly when he heard the words "Qianjimen". He Xun found the details of Xu Yan's frowning and explained: "Qianjimen is an intelligence organization that emerged in the world a few years ago. His subordinates joined two years ago and have now become the leader of a branch. Therefore, there are more opportunities and sources of information for His Highness."

Xu Yan nodded and looked at him and said, "But when I asked you to check the information recently, I could clearly feel that you were a little overwhelmed. If you said where this feeling came from, it would be more like you asked your subordinates to help you do things, but in the past, you have more frequent checking the news yourself. But has your position in the gang been affected?"

He Xun was silent for a moment and replied: "Yes, Your Highness. To be honest, since a month ago, the gang leader suddenly lost contact with us. The people in the gang were in chaos, and there were already some problems between the branches and the gang leader, and the gang leader had always been in harmony. But now as soon as the gang leader left, the gang leader became determined to compete for the chief gang leader. The people under each branch were not convinced by the gang leader and began to compete and win the throne."

When He Xun said this, Xu Yan looked at him silently. No wonder she always felt that He Xun was a little tired recently. Although she couldn't tell anything from him, he often had green and purple scars on his body when he came back. Xu Yan once thought that this was just a few small bumps. After all, going out to check the news would always prevent injuries. But now it seems more like the injuries left by him in the competition with others.

Xu Yan withdrew his gaze. When He Xun was about to continue speaking, Xu Yan interrupted: "Then is there anyone who is restless in your rudder?" He Xun did not expect Xu Yan to ask him such a question, and was a little stunned for a moment. Then he lowered his head and showed a smile that he had not shown for a long time: "No, Your Highness."

This answer is both reasonable and unexpected. Xu Yan originally thought that if he admitted it, she would give him a few days off to go back and handle the matter in the branch, but now he denies it, and she doesn't know what to do with him.

Xu Yan murmured through the matter with He Xun in his mind. A month ago, the gang leader was missing, but this time was special, just in line with the time when Yun Qi disappeared. Xu Yan curled up the corner of his mouth, how could it be? He was afraid that he wasn't really crazy, and he could think of him no matter what.

Just as Xu Yan was about to continue asking about Qianjimen, He Xun seemed to have sensed her thoughts and replied to her: "Your Highness, there is another thing I don't know if I can't tell you."

Xu Yan looked at him in surprise, then waved his hand to him, signaling him to speak. He Xun saw her gesture and said, "Qianjimen has always been in an unknown state in the world. But just two years ago, after the new gang leader defeated the original old gang leader and became the head of Qianjimen, Qianjimen had a change in appearance. It was at that time that subordinates entered Qianjimen."

Xu Yan said "hum" and then asked, "Have you ever seen this new leader of Qianji Sect?"

He Xun hesitated for a while and said, "I have met the head of the sect at the time of the meeting. However, the head of the sect always wears Zhang Yinhu's mask every time he appears, which makes people unable to distinguish his true identity. However, judging from his stature and demeanor, he should be from a famous family and not very old."

This surprised Xu Yan. She never expected that the head of such a famous intelligence organization in the world was actually a young man. Xu Yan silently said, "Do you know the intention of me asking you about this matter today?"

He Xun looked at Xu Yan and said word by word: "No matter what your Highness’s intention is, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for your Highness."

Xu Yan once again held her forehead, and the conversation with He Xun was always like this. Whenever she wanted to say something, he always responded to her in a way that showed her loyalty, but she really didn't need such a response!

Xu Yan knew He Xun's idea, so he stopped going around the circle and said directly: "This incident of assassination between the mother emperor and the envoy of Liang State is definitely not that simple. With the previous series of battles between Liang State and the Southern Kingdom, the sudden riots in Nanjun, and the disappearance of Yun Zi'an, I always feel that there have always been people behind this that are manipulating the development of these things."

Xu Yan's eyes shone brightly in the dark night: "He Xun, I need you. Or, I need Qianjimen behind you. Take me to Qianjimen!"

He Xun didn't expect Xu Yan to say such words to him. He didn't know how to respond for a while, so he just stayed stupidly. After a long time, he responded: "Yes... OK, Your Highness!"

Xu Yan received He Xun's answer and smiled with satisfaction. She would definitely find out the person behind the scenes! Who tried his best to provoke relations between the two countries, is it an internal thief or an external ghost? I believe these will have an answer soon.

"Your Highness! Are you inside the house?" The delicate female voice suddenly sounded outside the door shocked Xu Yan and He Xun. After they quickly looked at each other, He Xun hid in Xu Yan's wardrobe in a familiar way.

Xu Yan tidied up his appearance, stood up and walked towards the door.
