Someone followed Wu Jian, pretending to be a sloppy Taoist priest, could naturally expect it in his heart, otherwise he would not have chosen to risk his connection with Wu Jian at the top of this crowded Tengwang Pavilion.

But he was obviously a little disdainful of what Wu Jian said, the other party and his tricky statement.

In his opinion, this was just an excuse for Wu Jian to use to threaten or shirk his own chips.

Otherwise, if the other party really said to Wu Jian as difficult to deal with, how could he let Zhu Zhuan, who came with Chu Xun while capturing that unlucky guy?

However, immediately, as Wu Jian continued to express himself, he couldn't help but feel a little scared and shocked.

Because Wu Jian expressed a meaning to him with gestures.

It is precisely because the man who was following Wu Jian was very difficult. The two idiots who had previously joined him had been caught by each other. They are now locked in the dungeon of Ning Wang Mansion. If Wu Jian had not discovered something wrong in time and deliberately kept a distance from the two idiots, he would be afraid that even Wu Jian himself would not be able to protect himself.

Wu Jian's expression was clear enough, but the sloppy Taoist still felt a little dazed, thinking that either Wu Jian was frozen by the cold wind, or that he had drunk too much, so he was already drunk.

Zhu Zhuan had just met his companions not long ago, explained everything he and Chu Xun had experienced after arriving in Hongdu Prefecture, and told the news that Chu Xun was unfortunately caught. But because he happened to be in a disagreement with Chu Xun, he was in another inn and discovered something was wrong in time and escaped.

There are definitely some of the two who are lying.

But when he forced himself to wake up and calm down, he found that Wu Jian was indeed expressing the news that two people were arrested before, a thought flashed out in his mind.

And in his heart, he was undoubtedly standing on Zhu Zhuan's side at this time.

After all, compared to Wu Jian, an outsider who is insatiable and has difficulty trusting the conditions with Xuanwu, Zhu Zhuan, a colleague who has been incomparable for many years, is obviously more trustworthy.

However, his face remained silent.

No matter how doubt is, nothing can be concluded without definite evidence.

Moreover, with the strong strength of the Ning Palace in Hongdu Prefecture, Zhu Zhuan was able to wait so leisurely in the city until they arrived, rather than fleeing in panic, which was also somewhat suspicious.

Moreover, their group actually had some doubts about Zhu Zhuan, otherwise they would not have deliberately concealed his existence from Zhu Zhuan and asked him to come and meet Wu Jian.

So, the most important thing next is obviously to find out which one of Zhu Zhuan and Wu Jian is lying, and why is he lying?

...

When Wu Jian and the sloppy Taoist priest met on the Tengwang Pavilion, Ye Xiao, who had a new look, was sitting on a small stall selling food next to Tengwang Pavilion. While slowly drinking the second bowl of tofu served by the stall owner, he observed the movements in Tengwang Pavilion with his eyes.

Ye Xiao, who was underestimating Wu Jian at the beginning, had no longer dared to look down on Wu Jian at all after experiencing the previous failure. Therefore, in order to prevent Wu Jian from finding someone to follow him, he became alert and made the next plan suddenly turbulent. He did not dare to send his subordinates to track and monitor him, but after changing his appearance alone, he personally followed and monitored him.

But as the saying goes, there will be gains and losses.

While he was following him personally, he was exempted from the danger of being caught by Wu Jian and being alert and was alert, he also had many restrictions.

Just like now, because the Tengwang Pavilion is not big, especially the only staircase to climb the top of the Tengwang Pavilion, if he followed Wu Jian up, no matter how strong he was to hide his body, he would not be able to avoid Wu Jian's gaze on such a narrow staircase in broad daylight.

If he had not left Hongdu Mansion without the words he had left Hongdu Mansion before, it would be fine. Even if he was seen by Wu Jian, he could use it as an excuse to just climb up to see the distance, or visit Tengwang Pavilion. But now he should have been far away from Hongdu Mansion City and even left the provincial boundary. If Wu Jian saw it, the result would be wonderful.

Maybe even King Ning would lose face because of this and then blame him in his heart.

So, after thinking for a long time, he finally gave up the idea of ​​following Wu Jian to the Tengwang Pavilion, sat on this remote stall, monitoring the movements of Tengwang Pavilion.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuan, who had been paying attention to the movements of the second group of Xuanwu's men who arrived, did not come to report to him about the abnormal movements of those people. I believe that there should be no major problems.

Thinking that Wu Jian has been acting unprepared since he left the Ning Prince's Mansion today, and completely believing that he had left Hongdu Mansion, Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel more at ease.

...

Ye Xiao sat firmly on Diaoyutai and was waiting for Wu Jian to come down from Tengwang Pavilion, but Wu Jian felt that the sloppy Taoist-like joint man in front of him seemed to have become a little absent-minded.

After thinking about it carefully, he immediately realized that the other party seemed to have started to have thoughts after he expressed that the first two people who arrived in Hongdu Prefecture were captured and returned to the Ning Prince's Mansion.

Some bad association immediately arose in his heart.

‘Is it?!’

Wu Jian couldn't help but panic, and immediately thought of leaving here and returning to Ning Wang Mansion.

However, before that, he seemed to be able to test the guy in front of him.

"But someone has not been arrested and has contacted you?"

Wu Jian didn't care about the crowds of people here, and took advantage of his furious behavior to come to the other party and asked in a slight voice as possible. After saying that, he stared at the other party's eyes tightly.

The other party did not answer, and Wu Jian did not need to answer, because the other party's sudden expansion and uneasy pupils were enough to prove everything.

"Hmph, the man is not enough to argue!"

Wu Jian, who tested and concluded from the other party's eyes, stood up angrily as if he was finally tired or upset with the sloppy Taoist priest, and then turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"Oh, how can a vulgar person understand my realm?"

The sloppy Taoist priest was stunned by Wu Jian's performance, and then immediately came to his senses, chuckled, shook his head, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of it, and replied with a calm expression on his face.

But behind his calm face, the scale that was originally facing Zhu Zhuan was still facing Wu Jian.

It seems that Zhu Zhuanjiuzheng has a problem.

No, I have to inform Li Wu and the others, so I can't let Zhu Zhuan run away.

The Taoist priest who made up his mind also quickly went downstairs.

Those scholars who already felt that their existence was a disgrace, saw that these two people had been making noises, which made them unable to concentrate on writing poetry and painting one after another, and the atmosphere became hot.

...

Walking on the road to Hongdu City, Wu Jian's mood was a little subtle.

Ye Xiao's repeated temptations were indeed very troubled for him, but on the other hand, he could understand Ye Xiao and even admire Ye Xiao for being able to persevere.

After all, if he was in the position of Ye Owl, he would probably do the same thing, and even the methods might be even more excessive.

But even though he admires it, it is obvious that Wu Jian could not change his attitude towards Ye Xiao because of this.

On the contrary, he must "get worse" and make Ye Xiao suffer a fierce defeat again.

So, in the next few days, Wu Jian seemed to be fine, wandering around the city leisurely every day, waiting for the Xuanwu subordinate who was seeking surrender to Ye Xiao to come and meet him.

However, five days passed in a row, but there was still no movement, which inevitably made Wu Jian feel quite strange.

Because when he thought, even if Ye Xiao was calm in his heart, he should take action at this time.

...

In fact, if nothing unexpected happened, according to Ye Xiao's plan, Wu Jian should have "connected" with Zhu Zhuan the next day after he separated from the sloppy Taoist priest.

But when Ye Xiao, who had not seen Zhu Zhuan appear for a whole day, went to see Zhu Zhuan with anger, he was shocked to find out that Zhu Zhuan was missing.

Therefore, in the next few days, Ye Xiao was looking for Zhu Zhuan like crazy in the city and the traces of the Xuanwu men that Zhu Zhuan had mentioned.

However, it was obvious that it was too late for him to start searching at this time.

There is no trace of Zhu Zhuan in the city.

As for where he went, Ye Xiao could naturally guess at all.

He was seen by those Xuanwu's subordinates, and he must have been arrested for interrogation now.

In this way, no matter whether Zhu Zhuan can withstand the interrogation or not, his plan is doomed to be unable to continue, which is equivalent to a complete failure.

What’s even more troublesome is that Zhu Zhuan, the second five-year-old, and after this lesson, those Xuanwu’s men will definitely be more cautious when they act in the future.

This means that in the huge Hongdu City, it is tantamount to finding these guys, which is difficult to reach the sky.

In this way, Wu Jian, a two-sided spy, will undoubtedly receive great attention from King Ning. In order to capture Xuanwu's subordinates as soon as possible and reduce the possibility of the Ning Prince's Mansion in danger, King Ning could only rely more on him.

Such a result is obviously unacceptable to Ye Xiao.

He couldn't help but think about where the place has been these days and which link may have problems. Otherwise, Zhu Zhuan had been hiding well and would not have been suddenly suspected and then arrested for interrogation.

After thinking about it, the only link that made Ye Xiao feel that there might be problems was undoubtedly the time when Wu Jian left the Ning Palace on the first day and went to Tengwang Pavilion.

Because it was only that time that Wu Jian left his sight. He was not sure what Wu Jian did there, what people he met, and what he talked about. At any other time, Wu Jian was under his surveillance and there was no problem.

‘Is that just that?’

Ye Xiao couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

But only Wu Jian himself knew about the events of that day. It was obviously impossible for him to tell what happened in Tengwang Pavilion that day.

After all, in the current situation, the situation is most beneficial to him.

However, Ye Xiao is not unable to deal with Wu Jian.

Although Zhu Zhuan was captured by the second group of Xuanwu men who sneaked into Hongdu Prefecture, his plan was completely ruined, the departure of those Xuanwu men also meant that Wu Jian was destined to be unable to complete the task assigned to him by King Ning.

The task assigned by King Ning last time was stumbling, and this time it was even more impossible. He wanted to see how Wu Jian would pay the job to King Ning at that time.

...

Ten days passed, and King Ning summoned Wu Jian again to inquire about the relevant situation.

"Report to the prince, the villain has been searching around the city these days, but has not found any relevant traces. Is it true that the villain dared to make a mistake in the news reported to the prince?!"

What Ye Xiao didn't expect was that Wu Jian, who was facing this situation, actually "breaks his can" and gives up.

"Haha, Kang Jinlong, you are incompetent and want to shirk the reasons for your failure to me?! Isn't it too shameless? Or do you think the prince is so easy to fool?"

Ye Xiao, who had just "returned" to the Ning Prince's Mansion yesterday, saw Wu Jian want to push him, of course he could not let him turn the blame cleanly, and immediately sneered at Wu Jian.

"Hmph, if you don't believe it, you can search in the city. As long as you can find some traces of Xuanwu's subordinates, then you don't have to open a golden mouth, and I will let you deal with it. What?"

But he was already sure that after receiving his own news, the second group of Xuanwu men who arrived, Wu Jian, who was sure that Zhu Zhuan had betrayed, immediately spoke with a confident look on his face and slammed Ye Xiao's words back.

"you?!"

When Ye Xiao heard this, he felt a little stuffy in his chest, as if he was blocked by a mouthful of blood.

‘This bastard is so confident, he must have been sure that Xuanwu and his subordinates have escaped! That day, he met those people in Tengwang Pavilion. Maybe Zhu Zhuan revealed his identity because of his relationship and was taken away.’

Seeing Wu Jian's confident appearance, Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel more and more certain that in his heart, in the dead corner of Tengwang Pavilion ten days ago, Wu Jian had already joined Xuanwu's subordinates. As for the reason why he guessed that Zhu Zhuan was discovered, he was almost inseparable.

However, the difference is that in Zhu Zhuan's affairs, Wu Jian is not only a provider of information, but also a beneficiary.

Seeing the "collision" between Ye Xiao and Wu Jian again, Ning Wang, who had already learned about the relevant situation from Ye Xiao, had to stand up again.

"In this way, some of the people below should be soldiers."

And obviously, he stood on Wu Jian's side this time again.

After all, even if he had put aside his previous disagreement with Ye Xiao's plan, just from the current situation, even if Ye Xiao had lost Zhu Zhuan's trump card, he would have to rely on Wu Jian to deal with the subordinates sent by Xuanwu.
Chapter completed!
