Chapter 640 Questioning

Hearing this question, Si Zijing still lowered his eyes, but his heartbeat could not help but accelerate slowly.

This question of the Third Young Master can be understood as the concern of the brothers and brothers, but it can also be understood as the concern for the inheritance of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After all, if the eldest son dies, no one can compete with the third son for the "throne" of the prime minister's house.

Thoughts flashed by, but Si Zijing did not make a conclusion blindly. He carefully considered his words and replied slowly:

"Back to Young Master, another group of people encountered the Master of Jiantian Pavilion, and I only learned about it from Mr. Huang."

Xu Yuan was slightly disappointed when he heard this and said:

"So you don't know either?"

Si Zijing raised his eyes, glanced at Xu Yuan's expression, and said:

"If the young master wants to know the inside story, he can use the communication crystal to contact Di'an."

Xu Yuan snorted softly, clasped his fingers and said helplessly:

"I would like to do this, but the Black Scale Guards, Zhenxi Mansion, Secret Investigation Department, and those large chambers of commerce here have basically been infiltrated into sieves by the sect. If the communication crystal used has been tampered with, even if they use code words to communicate There is also a risk of exposure.”

Saying that, Xu Yuan sighed softly:

"Okay, I've finished asking my personal questions. There's one more thing I need to trouble Mr. Si to take care of."

When Si Zijing heard this, his expression became solemn, he cupped his hands and said:

"Master, please speak."

Xu Yuan clasped his hands together, propped himself on the document, and looked into Si Zijing's eyes:

"Before coming to Xizezhou, Mu Qing held an important position in the Gyeonggi Division. Mr. Si, you should be familiar with him, right?"

Si Zijing's heart twitched, and after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he still chose to tell the truth: "When we worked together, I used to treat him as a close friend."

"Hey, close friend?"

"Sir, Lord Lou Ji knows very well that subordinates always distinguish between public and private matters." Si Zijing cut directly.

"."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly when he heard the words, waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't be nervous. Even if I can't trust you, how can I not trust Lou Ji? But since you can distinguish between public and private affairs, it is just right to leave this matter to you. Before it happens, It’s up to you to keep an eye on Mu Qing.”

"Watch?" Si Zijing whispered tentatively.

Xu Yuan's eyes had a slight chill in his eyes and he replied:

"I don't care what method you use. I have only one request from you. Mu Qing cannot do anything when the saint attacks the city."

Si Zijing pondered for a moment: "Master, are you worried that he will break the formation from inside the city?"

Xu Yuan smiled noncommittally and said: "Yes and no, I still keep him, mainly because he still holds the whereabouts of the Black Scale Guard's resources in Xizezhou. He needs the resources needed to maintain the high-power operation of the city defense array." Jing is not a bit of a loser, that resource may make a big difference."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan seemed to remember something, his voice lowered slightly, and he began to put pressure on Si Zijing:

"Oh, by the way, Mu Qing was seriously injured not long ago. If you still fail in this situation, then Mr. Si, you and Mu Qing will really just be confidants."

Si Zijing's expression did not change at all, but a smile appeared on his lips and he bowed solemnly:

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Okay, go on."

Xu Yuan waved his hand at the other party, but Si Zijing still stood there, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

Seeing this expression, Xu Yuan frowned, then turned to smile and said:

"If it's about Xu Mengxi, there's no need to say more. I don't care about her life or death."

"You misunderstood. I want to talk about the eldest son."

"Don't you know this?"

"I really don't know, but I can get some clues from some details."

"explain."

"."

Si Zijing took a deep breath and said quickly:

"Before Xiaguan came to Zhenxi Fucheng, he contacted Di'an City three times in total. They were with Lord Xiangguo, Lord Lou Ji, and the Deputy Director of the Black Scale Guard Gyeonggi. The official could not figure out the thoughts of Xiangguo and Lou Ji, but the Deputy Director The commander and his subordinates report that the current situation in Di'an is as usual."

Xu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

Seeing that the third young master failed to turn the corner, Si Zijing said directly:

"Since the death of the second young master, the eldest young master has taken over all the affairs of the second young master. In recent years, the situation has only increased. If something happens to the eldest young master, it will probably cause great turmoil in the prime minister's palace."

"Squeaky-"

As the door closed, the Junshu Hall returned to silence.

After staring at the direction Si Zijing left for a few breaths, Xu Yuan leaned slightly tiredly on the back of the chair behind him. At this moment, a beautiful figure in a black dress appeared on top of him almost teleportingly. side.

Tianye glanced at his side face and said with a smile:

"It seems that your eldest brother survived. The Master of the Supervisory Heaven Pavilion obviously has no reason to let him go."

Xu Yuan looked tired, but obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile:

"Perhaps your pavilion master is afraid of being forced to change by Xu Changge."

"One for one?"

Tianye's beautiful eyes flashed, slightly surprised, she jumped on the desk and sat down, crossed her legs, and murmured: "The night you and the golden retriever fought, I was wondering what that smell was, but it turned out to be you As expected, the eldest brother has cultivated the Tao of Cause and Effect."

As she spoke, her golden eyes narrowed slightly:

"However, although the cause and effect Tao Yun is strong, the Origin Stage is not enough to make the Master of the Supervisory Heaven Pavilion retreat."

Xu Yuan was silent and reminiscing about the past, and sighed softly:

"Perhaps he has broken through the mortal realm, alas."

Tian Ye seemed to see the mixed emotions of joy and sorrow in Xu Yuan's heart, stretched out his slender hand and patted his shoulder, smiling and said:

"If you want to vent your anger, I can help you beat him up."

Xu Yuan snorted and laughed:

"With his personality, he might just pull you in for a one-for-one."

"Tian Yan has countermeasures against the Dao Yun of Karma. The Pavilion Master of Jiantian is afraid of it, but it doesn't mean I will be afraid of it."

Tian Ye crossed his arms, his eyes were eager to try: "I like the feeling of stepping on these geniuses the most~"

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with a smile:

"Will you win?"

"Huh?" Tian Ye was a little unhappy with Xu Yuan's gaze: "What do you mean?"

Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, standing up from his chair:

"It doesn't matter Thinking, it's time to deal with business. "

Tian Ye didn't move, glanced at the pile of corpses on the ground, and asked softly:

"As soon as I came back, you rushed over to deal with this Zhan Xian'an. Is it necessary to be so anxious?"

Xu Yuan stopped, chuckled and asked back:

"Do you think I shouldn't be so anxious to kill him?"

Tian Ye tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled:

"Killing Zhan Xian'an is naturally the sooner the better. After all, the saint of the Mu family is outside the city. The two convey a message. The shadow substitute in your hand may be scrapped at any time. By then, he will be prepared and want to kill him again. It is almost impossible, but I think you opened the city defense formation too early. Now the city defense system of Zhenxi Prefecture City is in chaos. "

"."

Xu Yuan was silent for a while, and sighed helplessly.

What Tian Ye said was exactly what he had expected at the beginning.

The best option is to kill Zhan Xian'an, use Li Junwu's identity to build momentum, stabilize the situation and morale in the city, and then activate the city defense formation.

Killing Zhan Xian'an and activating the city defense formation at the same time is undoubtedly a bad move, which is almost equivalent to telling the senior generals below that their boss has been dealt with.

Good chest brother is not a breast-wrapped princess. Her prestige in the Zhenxi Army is not enough to support such a thing of killing the general on the battlefield.

Whether it is the loyalists or the inner ghosts, they will be panic.

The situation they are facing now is not only that external worries have arisen, but also that internal troubles have begun to spread.

But the problem is that Xu Yuan has no choice at all.

Raising his fingers and tapping his head, Xu Yuan said softly:

"The owner of Jiantian Pavilion must have brought Lingtianyi with him to find you last night, and if she brought Lingtianyi, my position would naturally be exposed."

Tianye frowned and whispered:

"Are you afraid that they will enter the city and kill you?"

Xu Yuan did not deny it and nodded.

Tian Ye's eyes showed a trace of thought:

"Is this possible? I was looking for Lin Lang last night, and the encounter with the master of Jiantian Pavilion can be said to be a test of each other's trump cards. On the surface, you already have two saints, Lin Lang and me, to protect you. Take this risk."

"Are the difficulties of assassination and protection the same order of magnitude?"

Xu Yuan interrupted Tian Ye's words, and said with a faint look in his eyes: "And don't forget that everything the sect has done in this Western Desert, whether it is to gather Zhenxi Mansion or manipulate the Tartar Chao Wang Court, is to prepare for the war with my Xiangguo Mansion. Jiantian Pavilion regards me as a great disaster for the world. They have every reason to take the risk to enter the city first and kill me here."

"."

Tian Ye listened carefully, nodded somewhat boredly, and then asked:

"Okay, you have a point, but what are you going to do now?"

"Just in case, go to Li Junwu to see how she handles it."

"You really don't trust her at all?" Tian Ye said with a teasing tone.

Xu Yuan looked away, with a little worry in his eyes:

"No way, we are too familiar with each other, I always feel that she will let me down."

The warm sunlight became a little distorted because of the sky covering the city, and there was silence in the front yard of the Military Hall.

A woman stood on the stairs, with two masked men standing on her left and right, and the more than ten senior generals in military uniforms in the yard stared at the woman intently, with a little doubt in their eyes, shocked by what the other party had just said.

Commander Zhan. Zhan is a traitor?

And there will be a saint coming to attack the city soon?

The dead silence in the yard was finally broken by someone.

An old general with wrinkles on his face looked at the uniformed woman on the stairs and took a deep breath:

"Princess, you said that Commander Zhan has been secretly communicating with the sect for a long time?"

Li Junwu looked over and roughly recognized the other party's identity, the deputy commander of the Second Town Mingting Army, and said slowly:

"Commander Jin, do you think I will play with such a military and national event?"

The old general was silent for a while, and said slowly:

"Since the princess has joined the army, I think she will not play with it. But all words are not enough. Do you have any evidence?"

Li Junwu did not speak, but glanced at the masked strong man standing beside him.

The generals present also cast their eyes on Huang Shiwei, and the few who had high cultivation all frowned unconsciously.

They saw that the strong man had extremely deep cultivation, and therefore there was more or less some worry in their eyes.

Huang Shiwei lowered his voice and whispered:

"Take off the veil."

"."

As soon as the voice fell, the man on the other side of Li Junwu took action. He raised his hand and pulled down the veil on his face, and glanced calmly at the murderous veterans below.

The moment he saw this man's face, some puzzled discussions slowly sounded in the courtyard room.

"Lao Jin, do you know who this is?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"If what the princess said is true, this person should be the one who contacted Commander Zhan."

"Are you out of your wits when fighting? If he is the one who is connecting, why would he obey the princess's orders?"

"."

"."

The generals present had high status in Great Yan, and most of them had followed the Marquis of Zhenxi to the capital to see the world. However, there were too many nobles in Great Yan. Except for people like Xu Changge who were famous all over the world, the rest of them were The popularity of his face is actually not that wide.

Looking at the reaction below, Li Junwu frowned unconsciously and clenched his hands under his sleeves robe unconsciously.

If no one can recognize the shadow's appearance, then there will be some trouble.

In the discussion below,

Lu Baizou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at the shadow and said aloud:

"This man looks somewhat similar to the eldest son of Jiangnan Qin."

Hearing this, Li Junwu felt relieved, and the comments around him also came to a halt.

The veteran surnamed Jin asked in a low voice:

"Lao Lu, who do you think this person is?"

Lu Baizou pondered for a while and said in a low voice:

"Nine Swordsmen, born with sword bones, Qin Weijiu."

"I do know this person. He seemed to be quite famous more than ten years ago."

"Qin Weijiu sounds a bit familiar."

"He's the guy who was rumored to be on par with that guy Xu Changge, but ended up being chopped down by three swords in the Tianyuan Competition."

"."

The whispers gradually fell silent, and the veteran named Jin asked Li Junwu slowly:

"Princess Princess, this person's identity is"

"Qin Weijiu's younger brother, Qin Weishu's shadow substitute."

Li Junwu said loudly: "I asked him to defraud Zhan Xian'an, but he actually obeyed the shadow and allowed him to enter the important place of the government office."

As soon as these words came out, the generals below immediately exploded, but after all, these people were experienced in battles, and they quickly calmed down after the commotion.

"Princess Princess, if you say that Commander Zhan is having an affair with an outsider, can you ask him to come out and confront this person?"

"Is now the time for a confrontation? If what the princess said is true, the army will suddenly be in chaos. The saints are about to attack the city. Now we must quickly take orders and go back to organize the soldiers!"

"Yang Xigong, can you please stop thinking about it? Don't tell me that you can't sense the cultivation level of the person next to the princess? There must be someone behind a person with such a high level of cultivation. Have you forgotten that the princess was in the past? What should I do if I am deceived?"

"Hey, it makes sense, why didn't I think of that?"

The dark-skinned middle-aged man in military uniform thought for a moment and gave Li Junwu a military salute:

"Princess Princess, I think we still have to call Commander Zhan out."

"He is dead."

"."

"."

Li Junwu's cold words once again plunged the front yard of the Junshu Hall into deathly silence. Because of these words, many people quietly started to use the military formation skills. A huge and terrifying aura gradually filled the air above the Junshu Hall. They gathered together and locked onto the people on the stairs.

But it wasn't Li Junwu, but Huang Shiwei beside her.

In their opinion, the princess must have been bewitched and killed the commander before the battle, but the marquis could not do such a ridiculous thing.

The princess's fault can be investigated after the marquis comes back, but the people around her who are bewitching must be captured or killed first.

General Li Jun saw what happened below and shouted coldly:

"As the commander-in-chief of the second town, Zhan Xian'an can be killed unexpectedly when he is in charge of military formations and city defense formations. Isn't this the biggest evidence that his rebellion is!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she also activated the military formation technique. In an instant, the general below lost control of the huge aura surging above the sky.

The natural suppression of the mother's skill on the child's skill was revealed at this moment, and the price of the suppression was a wisp of blood staining the corners of quietly Li Junwu's bright red lips.

She simply cannot carry the power of such a huge military formation now. Even for just a moment, she has already suffered a huge backlash.

Wiping away the blood from the corners of his lips, Li Junwu narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, scanned the generals below, and shouted loudly:

"Are you trying to gather a crowd to rebel?!"
