Besides, the inn on the other side was already full of forbidden troops. Prince Liang and Liu Yao were among them. It was obvious that they had already contacted the reinforcement team sent from the capital.
Normally they are very carefree. After all, they are the biggest in the field and are relatives of the emperor and queen, so they are a bit arrogant.
But now the two of them were a little restless, and kept secretly glancing at the expression of the man beside them, as if trying to guess his mood at this time.
It’s no wonder that they were so cautious. In fact, although the guy in front of them was not as good as them in official position, his strength was definitely unambiguous. Just because he was the emperor’s confidant and wanted to be the leader of the secret service, he deliberately suppressed his official rank.
Over the years, countless princes and ministers in the capital have fallen into his hands, so how dare the two of them show any slights.
This time they shouldered the emperor's heavy responsibility and came out to capture Zu An and return to the capital. As a result, Zu An was lost and ten embroidered cloth messengers died tragically.
Originally, if they could catch the traitor Lu Sanyuan, they could more or less make up for it. Unfortunately, Lu Sanyuan's cultivation level was too high. Even if the two of them joined forces, they still couldn't defeat each other and were tricked by the other party and left.
No matter what the incident is, the pace of dismissal and investigation is inevitable. Although the two of them are relatives of the emperor, it will be slightly better than ordinary officials, but if Zhu Xie goes back to the emperor to talk nonsense, the two of them will definitely not suffer. Walk along.
At this time, Zhu Xiechi's face was full of gloom. He obviously noticed the two people's little actions, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them at all.
Soon, embroidered messengers came back from outside one after another:
"Reporting to the commander, the whereabouts of Master Mosquito have not been found."
"Reporting to the commander, Zu An's whereabouts were not found."
"There is no trace of Miss Pei's family either."
…
Listening to everyone's feedback, Zhu Xie's eyelids trembled as he looked coldly at the elegant and refined woman beside him: "Miss Chu, I'm afraid I need you to explain."
"I don't understand what I need to explain." Chu Chuyan replied lightly.
Not far away, King Liang and Liu Yao thought to themselves that this little girl was really ignorant and fearless. She had no idea of the horror of Zhu Xie's heart. In the capital, she could stop a child from crying at night.
However, they also admired her deeply. They had heard the name of the eldest lady of the Chu family before, but at most they had seen her from a distance. After all, they were not of the same generation. Even if Chu Chuyan went to the capital, they would not have any contact with her.
I saw it up close today, and it truly lives up to its reputation, like an immortal descending from heaven.
In fact, between the two of them, I don't know how many young and beautiful women I have seen, but it is rare to be sober and refined like her. What is even more valuable is the unique cold, arrogant and noble temperament in her body.
Facing a powerful man whose cultivation far surpassed hers, and who controlled countless lives and deaths at the same time, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and still as elegant as snow.
That kind of arrogance makes it easy for men to have a
There is a feeling of wanting to conquer, but such a woman is obviously not something that ordinary men can have.
“A flower in cow dung!”
An idea popped up in their minds at the same time, because at the same time they thought of Zu An's various evil deeds along the way.
In their opinion, the person who can be worthy of Chu Chuyan should be the kind of handsome young master who is as gentle as jade. He should also have a top family background and be a practicing genius since he was a child. But that guy Zu An, no matter how you look at it, They were all like gangsters in the market, and they didn't know what Chu Chuyan liked about him.
They subconsciously glanced at Zheng Dan at the corner. The Sang family's daughter-in-law seemed to be treating him well along the way. She didn't resist much when Zu An bullied her, and she seemed to be addicted to the rhythm.
And the demon sect saint they just mentioned, Miss Pei, seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Zu An.
Thinking of this, they were immediately puzzled. Is there such a big gap between women's aesthetics and men's?
At this time, Zhu Xie interrupted their thoughts with a cold snort: "I remember Miss Chu promised me before that she would never secretly let Zu An go. She also swore on the Chu family that now she wants to take Chu An away for a man." Is the home in danger?”
Chu Chuyan's expression remained calm: "I do have such a guarantee, and I did not secretly let Zu An go."
"Then why did Zu An leave early when I arrived just now?" Zhu Xie stared at her coldly with his heart. The other person's stunning appearance had no influence on him at all. To be the leader of the embroidered clothes messenger, the emperor's most important thing The trusted confidant has long been trained to be good at women.
Chu Chuyan replied: "The situation at that time was that the Mosquito Taoists wanted to kill Pei Mianman and Azu, and the Demon Cult people also wanted to arrest them. I was not able to protect them, so I let them leave first to avoid the limelight. I did not deliberately let them go. .”
"Why did those people from the Demon Sect join forces with you? And when I arrived before, you deliberately let them leave. Could it be that the Chu family and the Demon Sect had colluded for a long time?" Zhu Xie leaned forward with a very oppressive look in his eyes. The tone became increasingly harsh.
Startled by his momentum, King Liang and Liu Yao subconsciously sat upright.
Sang Hong, his daughter, and Zheng Dan all looked at each other in the room, thinking that this charge was serious. The emperor originally wanted to deal with the Chu family. Once this charge was implemented, the Chu family would really be finished.
Chu Chuyan was obviously aware of this and frowned: "Master Zhu Xie, please don't be alarmist. Our Chu family has nothing to do with the Demon Sect. The reason why we joined forces with the Demon Sect before was because that Taoist Mosquito was so powerful. No matter which one of us is its opponent."
She paused and continued: "Master Zhu Xie has personally learned how powerful the Mosquito Taoist is. Even you can't take her down. Of course, I am no match for her. As for those people from the Demon Sect who took advantage of the chaos to escape, I because He was seriously injured and there was nothing he could do to stop it.”
Zhu Xie's breath was suffocated, and this woman killed him, because in the final analysis, the mosquito Taoist escaped from him, and if he was really investigated, he should take the main responsibility.
He was also depressed, saying:
He is a well-known murderer in the world, his abilities are too powerful, and he has developed superb evasion skills after being hunted for many years. He has so many people on his side who have the advantage, but he still allows her to escape.
As for the demon cult demons, they also took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Although the direction in which the demon sect saint and her men were escaping was exactly where Chu Chuyan's hand was at that time, she had obviously let go on purpose.
Unfortunately, her explanation was reasonable and she had no evidence.
His expression was uncertain, when someone came in and reported: "Report, something was found in the backyard."
He was stunned and hurriedly got up and went to check. Others also followed out out of curiosity.
When I came to the backyard, I saw a simple tombstone, and then the grave inside had been dug up, and more than a dozen corpses were laid out.
"Who are these people? Are they from the Demon Cult?" Zhu Xie frowned.
At this time, a trembling voice came: "No, they are the warriors of our Sang family."
Zhu Xie looked at Sang Qian with all his heart: "Why did your people die here? They look like they are disguised as the staff of this inn. What on earth do you want to do?"
"I just received information that someone is trying to kill my father, so I don't worry about bringing people to protect me along the way..." Sang Qian roughly told the whole story. In order to avoid trouble, she omitted their plan to take the initiative to save Zu An and changed it to I accidentally bumped into someone from the Demon Cult bringing Zu An to stay.
"These people in the demon sect are really cruel and ruthless." Zhu Xie suddenly felt strange, "Then who buried these people? The people in the demon sect would not be so kind to bury them and even build a monument for them."
Although these people did not have heavy coffins, it was obvious that they were buried carefully. Everyone's appearance and clothes were arranged, and a layer of mat was thoughtfully wrapped around them to serve as coffins.
"It should have been buried by Zu An." At this time, Chu Chuyan spoke. She looked at the handwriting on the tombstone and her face turned red. "There is no one else but her with such ugly and distinctive handwriting."
At this time, someone else found half of the tombstone that had been accidentally broken during the previous excavation. Sure enough, the words "Zu Anli" were written on it.
"Zu An..." Looking at the crooked "Tombs of the Martyrs" on the simple tombstone, Sang Qian was in a trance, her eyes a little moist, and she suddenly understood why her sister-in-law fell in love with that guy. .
"Sneeze!" Zu An on the other side sneezed loudly and muttered to himself, "I don't know which girl is thinking of me again."
Pei Mianman next to him snorted: "You are really the most shameless person I have ever seen."
