"Chu Zheng, how was the torture? Did you find out anything?"
Tang Chen asked in a deep voice after seeing Chu Zheng coming over.
It turned out that Chu Zheng had just gone to torture two traitors among the guards.
"Sixth Prince, I tried every means to finally get a name."
"what name?"
"Xu Hong!"
"The two of them are Xu Hong's spies placed beside you!"
Chu Zheng replied.
"Xu Hong?"
"Who is this person?"
Chu Zhan was in a small place like Qingcheng, so naturally he didn't know who Xu Hong was.
But how could Tang Chen not know the identity of Xu Hong? After hearing the word Xu Hong, his face suddenly darkened and he said slowly: "Xu Hong is the number one adviser to the fourth prince Tang Yong!"
When Chu Zhan heard this, he suddenly realized.
Xu Hong didn't know, but his fourth prince, Tang Yong, knew.
Tang Yong is competing with Tang Chen for the position of King of Tang!
Obviously, this assassination was arranged by Tang Yong against Tang Chen for the sake of the throne!
"Sixth Prince, I didn't expect that Tang Yong would attack you so quickly. Do you want to tell the king about this?"
The battle for the throne is naturally dangerous.
Chu Zheng thought that Tang Yong would send someone to assassinate Tang Chen for the throne, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly!
"Of course I need to let my father know about this."
"But I will only mention the assassination and will not mention the names of Xu Hong and Tang Yong!"
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"That's right, without any evidence, it is impossible for the king to deal with the fourth prince just based on the one-sided words of these two insiders!"
"But with the king's wisdom, as long as the sixth prince mentions the assassination, the first thing the king will think of is the people from the fourth prince's faction!"
"In this way, in the king's mind, the impression of the fourth prince will be slightly different! The people who belong to the throne will be slightly tilted towards the fourth prince."
Although Chu Zheng didn't meet the King of Tang very often, he knew that the King of Tang was by no means an ordinary person. He must have guessed something based on these clues.
"Chu Zheng, take care of those two agents, and then let's find a place to rest!"
"Sixth Prince, they have been buried by me!"
"Very good, let's quickly find a place to rest."
"yes!"
Chu Zheng went to find a suitable place to rest.
After Chu Zheng left, Tang Chen came to Chu Feng, clasped his fists, and said apologetically: "Elder Chu, I'm so sorry, tonight, we have to camp in the wild again."
"The sky is the bed and the earth is the quilt. It's pretty good."
Chu Feng was not picky about where he lived. Of course, it would be best if he could have a beautiful girl to warm the bed and do some mysterious "push-ups" exercises.
…
And at this time.
In a jungle somewhere near Huangshi Town, there were several vague figures. It was none other than Zhao Yi and others.
"You guys should be on guard around the area, I'll contact Lord Xu Hong right now!"
"yes!"
After the killers dispersed, Zhao Yi took out the jade slip from his arms, and then used the seal method. After a while, the jade slip shone slightly, and Xu Hong's voice came from the other end of the jade slip.
"Zhao Yi, how are things going?"
"Did you successfully kill Tang Chen?"
Although the voice was calm, it was full of expectation.
"Sir, something happened!" Zhao Yi said in a deep voice.
"Something happened? Tell us!"
"Sir, this is what happened..."
Zhao Yi told everything that had just happened in Taoyuan Building.
"What? Tang Chen and others disappeared inexplicably?"
Even Xu Hong's calm mind felt a little unbelievable when he heard that Tang Chen and others suddenly disappeared.
"With your disguise skills and ability to hide your cultivation, it would be impossible to detect them without the strength of the God Transformation Realm. Could it be that there are strong ones in the God Transformation Realm among them?"
"By the way, are there any suspicious people in their group?"
Xu Hong asked from the other end of the jade slip.
"There is one person in their group that I don't recognize. He is a tall and handsome man with a wine gourd hanging around his waist."
"Could it be that this person discovered a flaw?"
"That shouldn't be the case. This person's strength is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul!"
Zhao Yi replied.
"The person you are talking about should be Chu Feng of the Shushan Sword Sect. With his strength, it should be impossible for him to detect you."
Xu Hong, who was on the other side of the jade slip, pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
"Since the assassination failed, you should come back for now."
"yes!"
…
Tang Dynasty Palace, a dormitory somewhere.
In the dormitory, two disheveled women were slowly walking down from Tang Yong's bed. Judging from the flushed faces of these two women, it was obvious that they had experienced a "big battle" not long ago.
"You go down first, I'll see you tomorrow!"
Snapped!
Tang Yong came out with both palms, slapped the two women's butts, and said with a lewd smile.
"The fourth prince is so brave that our bodies are almost falling apart. We will find more sisters to serve you tomorrow!"
One of the women smiled coquettishly.
"Hey, no matter how many people come, it won't help. I will definitely kill you tomorrow until you lose all your armor!"
Tang Yong said proudly.
The two women winked at Tang Yong and then left Tang Yong's palace.
Just as they were leaving, Xu Hong walked in.
"Xu Hong, how did things go?"
"How many pieces was Tang Chen cut into?"
Tang Yong said casually while dressing.
"Fourth Prince, Tang Chen is not dead!"
"What, not dead? How could this happen?"
Tang Yong was stunned and said in surprise.
"Xu Hong, what is going on? According to the previous plan, isn't it a sure thing to kill Tang Chen?"
Tang Yong frowned.
According to the previous plan, Tang Chen and others were already dead at this time!
"Fourth Prince, this is what happened..."
Xu Hong told Tang Yong exactly what Zhao Yi had told him before.
After hearing this, Tang Yong fell into deep thought and said after a while: "Xu Hong, I think the reason why Tang Chen and others disappeared suddenly may have something to do with Chu Feng!"
"Is it related to Chu Feng?" Xu Hong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is impossible. With Zhao Yi's disguise skills and ability to conceal their cultivation, they cannot be discovered without the strength of the God Transformation Realm. !”
"And this Chu Feng is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul!"
"That's true, but don't forget, this Chu Feng once served as the elder of the Shushan Sword Sect. With his status, it is not difficult to acquire one or two advanced skills!"
"Maybe it was by relying on these advanced skills that he noticed a clue, and then told Tang Chen and others, they escaped!"
Tang Yong analyzed.
"It's not impossible!"
Xu Hong also nodded thoughtfully.
He believed that in terms of pure strength, it was impossible for Chu Feng to detect the abnormality of the killers in Taoyuan Tower. However, if Chu Feng practiced any strange skills, he might be able to detect the abnormality of the killers.
"Fourth Prince, what should we do now? Should we continue to send people to assassinate Tang Chen?"
Xu Hong asked.
"No need for the time being, but from today onwards we have to keep an eye on that Chu Feng, this person may be a variable!"
Tang Yong frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Fourth Prince, this Chu Feng will ruin our good fortune as soon as he comes down the mountain. Do you think we should send someone..."
Xu Hong made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Although Chu Feng is an honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, don't forget that Chu Feng is no longer within the scope of the Shushan Sword Sect.
As long as it is done secretly enough, no one will be able to detect that it was them. By then, even if the Shushan Sword Sect is blamed, but there is no evidence, then you, the Shushan Sword Sect, will have no choice but to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, unable to tell the story of their suffering!
