Regent, Wait And See - C218

“What else do you know?” Nangong Zui continued to ask.

Wen Yuye sat down, “I told you everything I know. Back then, the emperor was heavily injured and was mixed in the crowd. The Emperor told me to send him to the back door of Regent’s Mansion and that he was not to turn back from now on.

“The emperor is sparing your life!” Nangong Zui immediately understood all of this.

Wen Yuye nodded, “If Regent were to find out, even if I had nine lives, it would still not be enough.”

Nangong Zui stood up with his hands behind his back, and walked around the table, “According to you, this matter should not have been caused by the Regent’s Mansion, if not, no matter how brazen Dongfang Weiming is, he would not dare make a move against the emperor. The emperor is not stupid, if it was Dongfang Weiming who did it, the emperor would definitely not sneak in through the back door. ” He lowered his voice and said, “The emperor is very smart. If it was Dongfang Weiming who did it, the emperor would definitely enter the Regent’s Mansion through the main entrance in great fanfare, in order to protect his own life!”

“But if it isn’t Dongfang Weiming, then who else could it be? Tutor Qi? ” Wen Yuye said doubtfully, “Tutor and Regent’s Mansion are like fire and water to begin with. If anything happens to Your Majesty, Regent’s Mansion will be the first to be rid of suspicion, and Taifu Mansion will be deemed as …”

Nangong Zui nodded, “Indeed.”

“Then what do you suspect?” Wen Yuye asked.

Nangong Zui untied the wine gourd at his waist, drank a mouthful of wine, and then smiled at Wen Yuye: “What do you think?”

Wen Yuye snorted, “I have the same thoughts as you, and I suspect that this time, it was not done by Tutor Qi.”

“Who could it be?” Nangong Zui squinted his eyes.

“This is your Master Nangong’s problem!” Wen Yuye’s expression was cold. “I’m just asking you to be at ease, so that when the time comes and you can’t find the Emperor, someone else will catch you red-handed. I’m afraid only your Four-direction Sect can investigate this matter clearly! ”

Nangong Zui laughed coldly, “That may not be so!” As soon as his voice fell, his figure suddenly stopped, rushed out of the window, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

“Other than Four-direction Sect, who else can clearly investigate the cause and effect of this matter?” Wen Yuye frowned, slightly puzzled.

In actuality, although Four-direction Sect were densely packed with scouts, there were still many things in the world that Four-direction Sect did not dare to lightly interfere. Now that the martial arts world was involved, people from the imperial government were afraid to interfere. After all, Hades loved to fight, and little ghosts were hard to deal with. Nangong Zui faintly felt that the matter of the assassination being done was not that simple. He had been to the streets and checked the wounds on the corpses of the soldiers.

Amidst the drunkenness, Jing Hong was about to exit, but who knew that he would run into Nangong Zui who was leaning against the doorframe. Normally when she went to take a look at Nangong Mansion, this black-faced guy would scold her a few times, bringing about coercion and enticement. Just what kind of demonic wind was he bragging about today, to actually be able to bring Nangong Zui here? Jing Hong glanced at Siyun, and Siyun took a step back as if she understood. Then she left the room to talk to the two of them and waited outside, so that no one would come near her.

Jing Hong put down the sword in his hand and sat down quietly. “What tea do you want to drink?”

“Life is not good for green. A pot of wine at my waist is my favorite.” Nangong Zui looked at the furnishings in the house, “Don’t you find it strange?”

“I went to the Nangong Mansion multiple times. If you can’t even find out where I live, then your Four-direction Sect would have disappeared long ago. Who knows what kind of trash you raised.” Xia Zhi looked at him, “Master Nangong must be here for the assassination on the street, right?”

“A wise man!” Nangong Zui was also unwilling to waste words with her. Jing Hong was the emperor’s spy, so he should be able to tell that no one else knew about it, “Then I won’t beat around the bush, I’ll speak directly with you.”

Jing Hong smirked. Since when did this man trust her so much? Feeling rather pleased, she said, “I’ve only just found out about the things happening on the streets. The people from the Demon Palace have already spread out to search for traces of the Emperor. If there’s any news, I’ll definitely inform you.”

“No, the Emperor found it!” Nangong Zui looked at Jing Hong meaningfully.

Hearing that, Jing Hong suddenly frowned, and stood up, “What did you say? The Emperor found it? Where is the Emperor? ”

Seeing Jing Hong’s expression, Nangong Zui understood that this was definitely not the Emperor’s scheme. The assassination had nothing to do with the Emperor. If it wasn’t Dongfang Weiming, then who was it? If it wasn’t Qi Yunshan, then was it Ke Bozhao? But from the looks of it, it was not done by Ke Bozhao. The question was, who was it that wanted to kill the Emperor?

“The Emperor is at the Regent’s Mansion.” Nangong Zui lowered his voice and took a sip of the wine in the pot, “But Dongfang Weiming did not announce it, so it is obvious that he wanted to make a big fuss out of it, so it is best if you do not act rashly. When it’s time to look, we have to look. When it’s time to hurry, don’t be too calm. ”

Xiao Hong was startled at first, but quickly understood what Nangong Zui meant. Dongfang Weiming did not find the emperor, nor did he bring him back to the palace. Most likely, he had some other motive, which was to gain fame and benefits.

“Understood.” Jing Hong’s eyes turned cold. “Is the emperor alright?”

“His Majesty was injured. It’s hard to tell what is going on right now.” Nangong Zui sighed, “I came here today to ask your Demon Palace to borrow the influence of the martial arts world to investigate this matter.”

“What do you mean?” Jing Hong narrowed his beautiful eyes. “Jianghu?”

“I suspect that the attack on the emperor wasn’t caused by the officials of the imperial court. I’m afraid that someone from the martial arts world may have interfered.” Nangong Zui stood with his hands behind his back.

Jing Hong didn’t understand. The biggest taboo in the martial arts world was having anything to do with the imperial government, so how could they assassinate the emperor? Was he too calm in the martial arts world, or did he feel that his life was too long? “How can you be so sure that this has something to do with those in the martial arts world? You should know that even if our Demon Palace is helping the emperor, we still wouldn’t dare to openly join the emperor’s company. If the Demon Palace is acting in such a manner, then so be it. It is impossible for other martial artists to go against the imperial government in such a grand manner. ”

“That’s just your guess.” Nangong Zui shook his head, “The training of the imperial court’s Dark Guard s and the courtyard’s training are mainly given out by the imperial court. Occasionally, there would be people from the martial arts world willing to submit to the imperial court, but they are all reserved and do not dare to act recklessly. But this time, the assassin’s attack was fast and accurate, and was definitely not as simple as Dark Guard’s. “I have personally seen the corpses of the killed soldiers. I can tell that their martial arts are extremely strange and they most likely came from the martial arts world.”

“The devil?” Jing Hong was a little hesitant. “Based on this alone, you think that the killer came from the underworld?”

“It can’t be wrong!” Nangong Zui took a step back.

Jing Hong nodded. “Alright, leave this matter to me. I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible. “If it is really someone from the martial arts world doing something, the Demon Palace will not let him off so easily.” However, Jing Rong slightly frowned. “That’s right, how did you know that your majesty is in the Regent’s Mansion?” Palace Lord still did not have a clue, and was still searching for people on the streets, where did Nangong Zui get the news from? Is the news reliable?

“This is the ability of Four-direction Sect that Miss Jing Hong mentioned!” Nangong Zui smiled as if nothing had happened to him. “Your majesty is well, everyone go ahead! If we do not get rid of this calamity, we might end up doing the same thing again in the future. ”

“Alright!” Just as he finished speaking, Nangong Zui had already walked out with large strides.

He came back to his senses immediately and ran out, “Hey, you came to find me just to talk to me about this. Is there nothing else?”

“Something else?” Nangong Zui raised his eyebrows, “From your tone, it seems like you have something to say to me.”

“Why would I tell you that you’ve come to find me?” “Nangong Zui, do you really think that my Drunken Flower Red is a place you can come and go whenever you want?”

“I’m not sure about the surrounding area. As for here, I really can come and go as I please. This is my place in the capital, not the main hall of the Demon Palace. Miss Jing Hong, what do you think? ” With that said, Nangong Zui leaped, and already flipped over the wall.

Siyun quickly stepped forward. “Miss?”

“Forget it!” Jing Hong massaged the space between his eyebrows. “He’s right. With his martial arts skills, he can come and go as he pleases.” Siyun, give the order and have your subordinates check if there are any movements in the martial arts world recently. Perhaps there was someone plotting something, forming alliances and attempting to join hands with some people in the imperial court. “If none of them are here, you should check on their background and the experts who have surfaced in the martial arts world recently.”

Siyun nodded, “Yes!”

“People from the martial arts world?” Jing Hong heaved a long sigh, full of questions. If people knew that the people in the martial arts world were connected to the imperial government, then this person would definitely be isolated. Fortunately, the Demon Palace was a unique existence, and they were evil in the eyes of the people in the martial arts world, so they were fine. Someone was following closely behind the Demon Palace and joining hands with the imperial government. Was he going to oppose the Demon Palace?

When Nangong Zui returned to the Nangong Mansion, he waited behind the door with an expressionless face.

“Yo, since when did you start guarding the door?” Nangong Zui laughed, “I feel that the kitchen is too boring, so I might as well start watching the door for Nangong Family? “Many thanks!”

“Cut the crap, who is the assassin?” Who did you wound? ” Ye Qing stared at him with sharp eyes.

Nangong Zui entered the door and walked along the corridor, “Why are you so concerned about it? Why aren’t you angry yourself?”

“I’m afraid that my killing intent is too strong, and that my entire Nangong Mansion will be implicated as well.” Ye Qing replied coldly.

Nangong Zui stopped and cupped his fists towards him, “Then, thank you very much! Master Ye Qing, what do you have to ask? “If not, I will go back to sleep.”

“You’re still in the mood to sleep after such a big incident?” Ye Qing snorted.

“It’s not my parents or brothers that died, what does it have to do with me? Could it be that after all these things have happened, I have to apologize with my life as opposed to eating or drinking? ” Nangong Zui said as he retorted, “Ye Qing, ah, Ye Qing, you clearly know everything, but why are you suppressing yourself like this? In a hundred years of life, there were some things that no one would be able to guess until they were said. If I were a woman, I would also definitely not be happy. ”

Ye Qing was startled, and did not say a word.

“Forget it. Since I can’t explain it to you, you better go to the Yuncui House and experience the worldly experience. You will understand just how stupid you are!” Nangong Zui entered the room, “Hurry up and scram, don’t disturb my sleep, otherwise I will beat up my friends too.” After saying that, he slammed the door.

Ye Qing stood outside the door in a daze. Was he stupid?! Nangong Zui’s mouth was filled with cannon, he really couldn’t believe it. Ye Qing turned around and went back to the Long street. He had already controlled the situation on the street, but he did not manage to find the emperor, so the situation in the capital was still extremely tense.

Abruptly, Ye Qing’s eyes turned cold as he stared unwaveringly at the dark figure at the corner of the street.
