Xiong Jin pondered carefully for a moment and said, "The slave thinks that the reason why Liang Shanwen and Liu Zheng failed was not because of their lack of ability, but probably because there must be an undercover agent sent by His Majesty within the Demon Dao. ”

The crown prince was suddenly a little disappointed, and said: "That's an inevitable thing! We can send undercover agents, can't my father send undercover agents? In the final analysis, it's just that the two wastes we sent are not as good as people." ”

"Not only is the ability inferior to the person, but it is also possible that the identity is not as good as the person. Xiong Jin continued, "Your Majesty's undercover agents are all the top secrets of the high-level of the Demon Dao, and this alone is absolutely impossible for ordinary undercover agents to do. ”

The crown prince became slightly interested: "You mean, the undercover agent of the father's emperor is lurking in the high-level of the demon path?"

Xiong Jin nodded and said, "It may be the staff of the Demon Dao Leader, the military advisor, and it may even be one of the leaders of the Demon Dao Second Sect." And an undercover agent who has the ability to lurk in such a high position, the slave thinks that his status in the court will definitely not be low. The minion believes that the abilities and temperaments of people in high positions cannot be learned by ordinary people. ”

The prince's somewhat dim eyes rolled, and then he said, "What you say is really bold. ”

Xiong Jin smiled and continued, "According to our eyeliner report in the Demon Dao, almost everyone in the Second Demon Dao Sect died, including the scholar Yuanfu Zi Mo Shuyan. However, from the beginning of the war to the end, the leader of the Demon Heaven Sect, San Siro, did not show up at all, and in the end, he did not go anywhere. ”

The prince stood up suddenly: "That makes sense! According to what you mean, then San Siro may be that super undercover agent?"

Xiong Jin didn't nod or shake his head, the words have come to this, there is no need to say more, the rest of the content will naturally be speculated by himself. He continued to start another topic: "There is another thing, which is about Xiao Zhang. On the eve of the imperial army's westward expedition, Xiao Zhang suddenly resigned from his position as commander of the army, so could it be that he didn't want to go to the Demon Dao? Obviously not! The slave thought that Xiao Zhang must have gone to the Demon Dao, but he was not discovered by anyone. ”

At the mention of Xiao Zhang, the prince gritted his teeth with hatred: "You mean, the success of this western expedition also has Xiao Zhang's role in it?"

Xiong Jin nodded and said, "It's not just Xiao Zhang, maybe there's another person." ”

"Who?"

"Xuanyuan decides. ”

The prince's face changed, and he sat down slowly, and said, "How can you see it?"

Xiong Jindao: "According to various intelligence, Xuanyuan did appear in the Demon Dao before the imperial army reached the Demon Dao, and walked back and forth between the two factions, and finally provoked a civil war between the two factions. ”

The prince pondered and said, "This palace has also heard about this. ”

"In that case, why doesn't Your Highness take Xuanyuan down?" Xiong Jin was a little excited, "This person is mysterious and unpredictable, and the details are unknown, and he is definitely not someone who can be controlled by us." ”

Hearing this, the prince immediately raised his eyebrows: "Are you saying that the mastery of this palace is not hot enough?"

"The slave doesn't dare!" Xiong Jin was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "The minion means that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, since this person is already suspicious, then he must not stay, and he would rather kill by mistake than let go!"

The prince sulked his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and said: "By the way, you just said that Xiao Zhang may also go to the Demon Dao? That's right, it must be Xiao Zhang pretending to be Xuanyuan Duel and swaggering in the Demon Dao." ”

Xiong Jin wanted to say something: "Your Highness......"

"Don't talk about it again. The prince said coldly, "The most important thing we should do now is how to deal with Xiao Zhang, first find a way to get rid of Xiao Zhang, and then we can concentrate on dealing with Huang Guozhong." ”

Although Xiong Jin was very unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything when he saw that the prince was so resolute.

At this moment, the guards came to report: "Your Highness, Xiao Zhang and Princess Lanxiang have returned to Soul Beijing and have just entered the palace." ”

The prince swooped up and said with a hideous face: "Okay, he's finally back!"

…………

The Imperial Study.

Since Xiao Zhang and Lan Xiang came back without warning, the emperor was in a hurry, he got up directly from his nap and went to greet him in person, so the emperor was dressed very casually, wearing only a plain nightgown.

After coming to the imperial study, the eunuch Wei Zhong brought a group of palace maids to freshen up for the emperor, but was kicked out by the emperor, which seemed to prove that the emperor had regarded Xiao Zhang as his own family.

And because the emperor at this moment did not have any embellishment, he revealed his original face, which was very different from the emperor who pointed out the country in the court, the emperor at this moment looked very old and haggard, and even the spine that had stopped was slightly bent.

Lan Xiang had never seen such a vicissitudes of the emperor before, and her heart was suddenly like a knife, and tears were like rain: "Father, how can you ......?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, looked at himself, then shook his head and smiled: "Why am I so old, am I......? At this age, not being old is abnormal. ”

If this kind of thing is put on ordinary people who have no skills, it makes sense, but it doesn't make sense to talk about an unfathomable emperor.

Lan Xiang knew what the emperor's greatest wish was, and knew that he was redoubling his efforts to fulfill his wish, which is why he looked so old and haggard.

"Or is it because of Mr. Zhuge ?" Lan Xiang choked up and said, "Father, why do you have to distinguish between high and low? Can't you and Mr. Zhuge become friends?"

The emperor's face gradually became gloomy, and his tone was a little weak: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about your magical experience in the Demon Dao, I really want to hear it." ”

Xiao Zhang wiped away Lan Xiang's tears, and then said: "Your Majesty works day and night, is the minister not bothered? Later, the minister will write all his energy into a memo and submit it to Your Majesty." ”

"Nope. I've been waiting for you for three months, and I can't wait. The Emperor tried to cheer up, "Let's talk about it." ”

At this moment, the guards came to report: "Your Majesty, the eighth prince asks to see you." ”

The Emperor nodded and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from outside the study, and then a man strode in, this person was burly and strong, but his face was fierce but gave people an easy-going feeling.

As soon as he saw this person, Xiao Zhang suddenly had a familiar feeling, very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person for a while.

"Hahahaha, you're Xiao Zhang, right?" The Eighth Prince walked up to Xiao Zhang, stretched out his broad palm and patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder, "Your affairs in the Demon Dao have been heard by this king, and you did a good job!

Xiao Zhang didn't speak, but stared straight into the eyes of the Eighth Prince, he felt that he must have seen this person, and it was not long ago.

Suddenly, he remembered a person who had nothing to do with the Eighth Prince-San Siro.
