Chapter 265 Plague
"Why are you here again!" When Li Hongzhao came out to greet him, his beautiful face did not give him a good look.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Let's see how it goes."
Li Hongzhao snorted and said: "It's a piece of cake, no need to make a big show of it. Are you here to see the fun?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "I have some news for you."
Li Hongzhao pointed inside.
The two came to the small pavilion in the front yard.
Except for the two little maids, there was no one else in the courtyard, and Su Qiuyan, the great master, was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Why isn't Mr. Su here?"
Even if Su Qiuyan is not in front of him, he can usually sense her and see where she is.
But this time, there was no Su Qiuyan within a radius of 500 meters. This time he really left.
This is really rare.
As Li Hongzhao's bodyguard, he will never leave him for a moment and will never leave easily.
Under normal circumstances, no one dares to kill the princess, but what if there is a master or grand master of the evil sect?
Never underestimate the destructive power of these evil sects.
If something happens to the princess, she will not be able to come back to life even if she takes crazy revenge afterwards.
Moreover, the evil sect doesn't care about the royal family's revenge at all. The more revenge it gets, the more excited it becomes, which is unreasonable.
"How did you know Mr. Su was not here?" Li Hongzhao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, let's get down to business."
Chu Zhiyuan speculated that Su Qiuyan should have gone to investigate the matter, so he talked about Xunzhou City.
Li Hongzhao's face darkened: "Lu Yaofeng's cave has been rumored?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Other than you, who else knows about Lu Yaofeng's cave?"
Li Hongzhao shook his head slowly.
After reading that travelogue, I remained calm. Almost no one would read such ancient books again.
I was also investigating quietly, and finally determined that Lu Yaofeng's cave was near Yujing City.
For more than a thousand years, no one has ever mentioned Lu Yaofeng's cave, and few people even know about Lu Yaofeng.
Now someone actually mentioned Lu Yaofeng's cave.
She stared at Chu Zhiyuan sharply.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I didn't leak it. I never mentioned the cave."
"Have you always had someone investigate Lu Yaofeng?"
"..."
"So, maybe you leaked it and there was something wrong with you."
"...This matter is not simple. Now that it has spread, it will be difficult to calm down."
"It is impossible to find Xunzhou City."
"If we can't find Xunzhou City, could it be somewhere else?" Chu Zhiyuan hummed, "Don't underestimate the people of the world."
"..." Li Hongzhao thought for a while: "Then we have to speed up to avoid being beaten first."
She didn't expect that things would turn out like this. It was just a bait to destroy Chu Zhiyuan, but now it became more and more troublesome.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "We can't be too hasty. If we don't find out the trouble first, what if it happens to us behind our back?"
Li Hongzhao frowned slightly and nodded slowly.
This is also true.
But it's not that easy to find out who exchanged the poison-repelling beads. Mr. Su hasn't found it yet.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "You really don't want my help? Things are different now. Don't let others take the lead."
"...No need." Li Hongzhao snorted.
Since it didn’t work before, we have to hold on.
The more enthusiastic he is, the less he can agree.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "That's all. This leak of Lu Yao's Fengdong Mansion should also be investigated."
"You don't need to tell me, I will check it naturally." Li Hongzhao snorted.
……
Chu Zhiyuan met Chu Qingyan, the great Zongzheng, at Zongzhengsi.
As soon as Chu Qingyan saw him, his serious face suddenly smiled: "Yuan'er, what's the matter?"
Chu Zhiyuan told what happened.
Chu Qingyan frowned: "These officials deserve to be killed!"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Because of their incompetence and whitewashing, they missed the best time to suppress, resulting in more people dying.
Many of them were innocent people involved, and they were even victims.
"The Grand Master has gone there? What are you checking?"
"Uncle, we should find out who the person behind this matter is and what he wants to do."
"Do you think it was the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect that did it?"
Chu Zhiyuan hesitated and said softly: "The Jade Cauldron Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect don't have such methods. It doesn't look like the evil sect's methods." He ruled out the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect from the beginning.
Not to mention the Jade Cauldron Sect, straight to the point, it is the Secret Shadow Sect. It seems to be acting in secret, so it should be like this.
In fact, the Secret Shadow Sect has not changed the nature of the Evil Sect. They are just good at hiding in the shadows and assassinating. Their martial arts are cunning, but their actions are not cunning, but bold and reckless.
Otherwise, he would not help the Jade Cauldron Sect.
The Jade Cauldron Sect will not trust them either.
"If it's not the evil sect, then it's Dameng?"
"It doesn't look like Dameng either."
"Who is that?" Chu Qingyan was curious: "But it doesn't matter, I also have a direction."
"Who does my uncle think it could be?"
"Okay Yuan'er, I have old arms and legs, and I don't have as sharp a head as you, so just say it!"
"I think it's probably the Wuyou Sect." This sentence was Chu Zhiyuan's use of sound transmission to enter the secret.
"Huh——?!" Chu Qingyan's face changed slightly.
He turned to look in the direction of the palace and lowered his voice: "Yuan'er, don't do this nonsense!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and continued to use Sound Transmission to Secret: "I think about it afterwards, I am afraid that the only person who can leak the news is that he was discovered when he was investigating Lu Yaofeng's woman. There will be no problems in other links, and the problems will not be that big. Fast.”
Chu Qingyan also transmitted the message into the esoteric: "Although the Wuyou Sect acts out of line, it would not do such a thing."
"The great master will find out once you check it out."
"...Okay, I will send a great master to check it out."
"Thank you, uncle!"
"You..." Chu Qingyan smiled and said: "You are indeed the material to serve, but it's a pity that you don't have this ambition."
Chu Zhiyuan's shrewdness and keenness were the strongest of all the officials he had ever seen, and no one could surpass him.
What the court lacks most is not talented people, but his extraordinary talents that transcend the world.
But he was determined to practice, and he only occasionally paid attention to the affairs of the court. Most of them were focused on his own practice.
This is understandable.
When you reach the age of being a great master and have no room to advance, you will naturally want to find something to do to pass the long hours.
Either go into the Grand Master's Mansion to find something to do, or go into the four caves and the four secret places to guard.
In fact, the two groups take turns, and often one group stays for a year.
As the crown prince, he could also directly serve in the imperial court, as Zuo Shilang or even Shilang, or even as Shangshu.
Then it will be a blessing to the court.
It would be great if he could become an emperor.
But becoming the emperor of Da Jing is not that easy. At present, the most promising one is the King of England.
……
Chu Zhiyuan returned to Tingtao Courtyard and continued his sacrifice and practice. The Sword Raising Technique was still in operation.
The fifth level of film refining has been completed unconsciously.
The sixth level of Dragon Transformation Technique also began to practice.
The golden breath of the Dragon Transformation Art is injected into the tendons between the bones, making the big tendons thicker, so that the power of the bones can be quickly transmitted and exploded.
This further enhances his speed and strength.
He felt more powerful, felt satisfied, and wanted to practice even more.
Once you focus, time passes extremely quickly.
It felt like three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
In the evening of the third day, he first went to Zongwusi and met Chu Qingyan.
Chu Qingyan waved with a serious expression.
The two came to a secret room in Zongwusi.
Chu Zhiyuan knew from the look on his face that the matter was probably as he expected, and it was indeed the Wuyou Cult.
The ten-meter-square secret room was clean, with a couch and a table and nothing else.
The sounds outside were blocked out, and it was so quiet that you could hear your breathing.
"It was indeed a disciple of the Wuyou Sect." Chu Qingyan said slowly.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "What is the Wuyou Sect doing?"
"And the situation is much more serious than you know."
"Huh——?"
"The Wuyou Cult disciple also poisoned and spread the plague through those who died."
"Plague? Is he crazy?"
"It's indeed crazy." Chu Qingyan couldn't understand: "If you weren't a madman, you wouldn't do this!"
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Is this a sign of entering the evil sect?"
