Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 387: They are all movie stars
"But..." Zhao Yu asked, "Prince Jin is already dead..."
"The King of Jin is old," Xu Zun said, "I guess, either the King of Jin is faking his death like Lord Lushan! Or, the King of Jin's son is inheriting his father's business.
"And that Wang Shuncai is most likely hiding in the Prince of Jin's mansion. Most likely, the events in Xinye County were planned here!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu understood, "Prince Jin and Kong Zhen are in the same group. They planned the second iron coffin case. Wang Shuncai was the superior of the fake Qiu Yongnian, and Prince Jin was Wang Shuncai's superior. Prince Jin and Kong Zhen are partners.
"That's right... Kong Zhen wants to lead the people back to the Central Plains. He can't just shout slogans, he must have support in the Central Plains.
"Master Xu," Zhao Yu said excitedly, "Now all the threads are clear!"
"Since the King of Jin can unite with Kong Zhen, it means they must have some means," Xu Zun said, "so it is an extremely unwise choice for us to return to Qizhou the same way we came."
"I see," Zhao Yu immediately bowed his hands in admiration, "Your Excellency is truly far-sighted and far-sighted!
"After we return to the Holy Capital to report, I will take people to the Prince of Jin's Mansion. As long as we can find Wang Shuncai, we can convict him!"
" Report?" Upon hearing this, Xu Zun's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Zhao Yu understood Xu Zun's worries and immediately comforted him: "Are you still worried about the prince? Don't worry, after we go back, as long as we tell the truth about the attack on the delegation, the queen mother should be able to distinguish right from wrong!
"The Crown Prince has committed the serious crime of treason. If he comes back alive, it will make the Queen Mother even more worried. Maybe we can help her get rid of a worry!
"Besides...oh..."
Zhao Yu was speaking excitedly, but he didn't expect Xu Zun to raise his arm and put it on his shoulder.
Then, Xu Zun pulled Zhao Yu into his arms, and the two were almost face to face.
"Sir..." Zhao Yu suddenly felt timid and sweat dropped. "What...what are you going to do?"
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun's lips almost touched Zhao Yu's beard, "I can see through everything, but I can't see through you! Tell me, are you the Queen Mother's man?"
"Ah? Sir, can we...can we change positions?" Zhao Yu was hugged by Xu Zun, and dared not move, feeling extremely embarrassed. "I am the inner guard, of course I am the Queen Mother's man! You...where did you get this from?"
"You didn't understand what I meant," Xu Zun continued without changing his posture, "I mean, you want to report directly to the Queen Mother. What is this called? A spy?"
Swish…
Zhao Yu's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat, but he didn't dare to raise his eyes or look directly at Xu Zun.
"The reason why I can't see through you," Xu Zun said, "is because your words are both true and false, and the truth is greater than the false, so I am always confused."
"I... I'm not a flower..." Zhao Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to reach out and pull Xu Zun to get rid of this embarrassing posture. "I am loyal to you, the sun and the moon can shine, I... I didn't lie to you!"
"I didn't lie, but I concealed a lot!" Xu Zun said, "In my opinion, not only are you the Queen Mother's spy, but even your entire Zhao family is serving the Queen Mother, right?"
"This..." Zhao Yu's face looked ugly and he didn't know how to answer.
"You, the Zhao family, are on the right side!" Xu Zun said, "You are running an escort agency to sell information in the underworld, but you are secretly serving the Queen Mother. No wonder the Queen Mother is so well-informed!"
"Sir, sir," Zhao Yu finally found an opportunity and got out from under Xu Zun's arm, finally getting rid of Xu Zun's restraints, and said, "This is a family matter, and I am not very clear about it."
"You have a sister named Zhao Jing, who has the same father and mother as you," Xu Zun said again, "I never thought that she is the blind girl we met in Shangyuan City! I even asked you to follow her..."
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was speechless, surprised again, "You...you know all this too?"
"You're not stupid, are you?" Xu Zun frowned. "Zhao Xin is your nephew, shouldn't I be able to chat with him?"
"Oh...oh..." Zhao Yu scratched his head habitually, his face was already very ugly, "This kid actually dared to reveal the secrets of the Zhao family."
"Let's not change the subject," Xu Zun stared fiercely into Zhao Yu's eyes, "No wonder... the Queen Mother knows everything about me! So that's it, so that's it!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu trembled all over, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Xu Zun, swearing, "Please understand, my lord, although I am the Queen Mother's spy, I dare to swear to heaven that I have never said a bad word about you in front of her!"
"I didn't say anything bad..." Xu Zun shook his head, "But I didn't say all good things, did I? The Queen Mother knows that Ku Niang came out of the iron coffin. Isn't that enough to put me to death?"
"My lord, my lord..." Zhao Yu stuttered a few times and lowered his head and said, "Isn't it... the Queen Mother didn't treat you badly? Ku Niang even became the general of the Qilin Guard!"
What he meant was that the Queen Mother did not pursue the matter of Ku Niang.
But he also forgot one thing, which was equivalent to admitting that he had already told all of Xu Zun's secrets to the Queen Mother.
"Get lost, you bastard!" Xu Zun was furious and kicked Zhao Yu down. "I treat you as a brother, and you treat me like this?"
"Master Xu, Master Xu," Zhao Yu hurriedly got up and explained, "The Queen Mother appreciates you so much, she must want to use you! You... you will definitely have a bright future. My... my identity will not only not affect you, but can also be beneficial to you..."
"Asshole!" Xu Zun kicked Zhao Yu to the ground again.
"I understand, I understand..." Zhao Yu got up again and said honestly, "You are not angry about what I reported to the Queen Mother, but you are angry that I didn't tell you the truth and didn't treat you as a brother, but...
"But... sir, please think about it..." Zhao Yu looked at Xu Zun with pleading eyes, "Can I tell you? If I tell you, how can I stay by your side in the future?
"I have always considered you as my brother and even my family. How could I...how could I not do anything that would harm you? Woo woo..."
When talking about the exciting part, Zhao Yu actually burst into tears.
"Oh my god!" Xu Zun was shocked and thought to himself, with this acting skill, you can win the Best Actor award, right?
Okay, if you act, I’ll act too!
"Alas!" Xu Zun covered his chest and cried and sighed, "You treat me as a family member, and so do I. It is precisely because I treat you as a family member that my heart is hurt so much, oh..."
Xu Zun deliberately sat down with his hands covering his chest, feeling extremely painful.
"Master Xu, Master, are you okay?" Zhao Yu hurried forward to support him. "I am so damned for making you so sad. I... I am damned...
"My Lord, don't worry," he vowed, "This time when I return to the Holy Capital to report, I will say whatever you ask me to say, and I will never say anything that is detrimental to you, my Lord..."
"Oh," Xu Zun said, sat up straight, nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I feel relieved!"
"..." Zhao Yu looked at Xu Zun blankly, as if he had been burned by a fire. Only then did he realize that Xu Zun had been waiting for him to say this.
"Old Zhao," Xu Zun suddenly became amiable and said, "I want to ask you, what do you want to say when you return to the Holy Capital to report?"
