From the beginning, Xu Zun felt that something was not quite right.

Since the Queen Mother issued an edict, why didn't she go to Shangyuan County and let Cai Kun go to the inn where she lived late at night to announce the decree?

If you don't want to publicize it because this is a secret decree, then why do you reward so many things and give yourself eight guards in one go?

Even if you are worried that the remnants of the Xuanmen will not be good for you, you don't need to be so popular, right?

Xu Zun knew that although the internal guards had no rank, they thought very highly of themselves, and it was rare for the central government to send a magistrate as a guard.

If you are really worried about your own safety, then let the state government send additional guards, and there is no need to send internal guards to be bodyguards.

To sum up the above reasons, Xu Zun concluded that this matter was not so simple, and the Queen Mother should be of other use to herself.

Xu Zun knew very well in his heart that the Queen Mother's reward for him was not necessarily a good thing.

As the so-called food monarch bears the worries of the king, you must be extra careful when doing things for the queen mother, otherwise the slightest negligence will be doomed.

Moreover, the court is unpredictable, and the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor is delicate, and if it is not handled carefully, there will be troubles in the future.

These are not what Xu Zun is most worried about, through Cai Kun's words, Xu Zun faintly feels that the Queen Mother does not seem to care about the affairs of the remnants of Xuanmen.

Although Yi Zhi praised himself for his outstanding contributions, in fact, Cai Kun did not ask too much about the Xuanmen case, and even the Qinglan Dao Chang and Changping Marquis who escaped simply mentioned it.

Finally...... What is this trying to make me do?

With deep doubts, Xu Zun opened the second secret decree.

However, before he could look closely, Cai Kun said the core of the secret decree on the side:

"The Queen Mother wants you to set off immediately and go to Yonghui to deal with the demon cannibalism incident!"

"Huh?"

Xu Zun checked the secret decree, and sure enough, he wanted him to go to Yonghui to handle the case.

Yonghui, like Shangyuan, is also a county of Tangzhou, but it is located in a remote area, in the southwest of Tangzhou.

To the west, it borders the wild Xiazhou, and to the south is Shuzhou, which is full of mountains and rivers.

"Yonghui is also under the jurisdiction of Tang Prefecture," Cai Kun explained, "Your Tang Prefecture sentence to deal with this case can be regarded as justifiable!" ”

"Demons eat people?" Xu Zun frowned, "What does this mean?" How come I have never heard of it? ”

"Yes," Cai Kun said, "Yonghui is located at the junction of the three states, in a remote area, and what happens there is always untold!" ”

"Are there really evil spirits?" Xu Zun was puzzled.

"Is there a ghost or not, so let you check it! By the way," Cai Kun said again, "Don't underestimate this case, it is said that the evil ghost has already eaten the county guard!" ”

"What !?" Xu Zun's eyes almost flashed, and his eyes widened and asked, "Lord Cai, you're not kidding, are you?" The history of Tangzhou is in Shangyuan City, if the Yonghui County Guard is eaten by a ghost, can he not know? ”

After Xu Zun asked, Cai Kun didn't answer, but he could get a positive answer from his playful eyes.

Depend on!

Xu Zun instantly realized the seriousness of the problem, if the dignified county guard was killed, why didn't he even know the history of the Tangzhou assassination?

Was it sudden, or was there something hidden?

The point is, the assassination of the county guard can also make sense, how can he still appear to be eaten by evil spirits?

Are there ghosts in this world?

"My lord," Xu Zun asked, "If I leave now, what will happen to Shangyuan City?" Also, I haven't gone to Wude City to officially take office! ”

"Your official certificate has been issued, and the Queen Mother has recognized your official position, what are you afraid of?" Cai Kun said with a smile, "Besides, Tangzhou's sentence is just a false name, this case is done, and it is unknown if you will reach the sky in one step!" ”

"My lord, but ......" Xu Zun was still in a mess.

"You don't have to worry about Shangyuan City," Cai Kun said, "Tomorrow I will go to the county office to explain the situation to Chen Taiji and the others, and leave the rest of the matter to Chen Taiji."

"Also," he added, "that Li Yan is too old to stand so much fright!" I'll go back and ask him to write you an edict, and let you have full authority to investigate and handle the Yonghui ......case on your behalf."

"This ......"

The more the conditions are given, the more bottomless Xu Zun's heart becomes.

"I can't go to the history of assassination, doesn't Tangzhou still have a long history?" Xu Zun mentioned Dong Wanxing, which meant that he wanted to pull an official to accompany him in the past, and he could also use it to fight thunder at critical moments.

However, Cai Kun waved his hand decisively: "You are so smart, you should understand that the above does not want too many people to meddle in this case, right?" ”

"This ...... All right! But then Li Jinlou ......" Xu Zun said another concern.

"What the hell are you doing with these rats?" Cai Kun said coldly, "You can't live with some relatives of the queen, and many people are holding back and want to kill him!" ”

Ooh......

Xu Zun wiped his sweat again, he didn't expect this Li Jinlou to be a relative of the queen, but fortunately, it is the queen mother who is in charge now, and even the emperor has to listen to the queen mother.

In this case, it's good if he leaves, presumably Li Jinlou won't end well.

"Lord Cai, since you are the secret decree of the Queen Mother, you will never give up your life!" Xu Zun arched his hand and said, "But, will I make a condition?" ”

"Oh?" Cai Kun was surprised, "What more conditions do you want?" ”

"That Timur Ani from Yuanzhou has to come with me!" Xu Zun said, "This girl is beautiful, I have to let her be my personal maid." ”

"What? Hehehe......" Cai Kun laughed, "You really dare to say it!" She is the Xuanmen rebel party, and she is also an important witness for you to frame Li Jinlou! ”

"What kind of frame-up?" Xu Zun said solemnly, "I am discerning, and the sky does not hide treachery!" ”

"Haha......" Cai Kun laughed even more, "With a Xuanmen rebel party, aren't you afraid that she will take the opportunity to kill you?" Ji Ying, you can't be tempted by that woman's beautiful skin! ”

"My lord," Xu Zun said seriously, "Actually, with this woman, I have other plans besides coveting her body."

"She is not only an anti-party in Xuanmen, but also a high-ranking figure in the anti-party. With her, maybe I can let me know more secrets of Xuanmen, the risk and the gain are proportional! ”

"Okay, since you're so sure, take it with you!" Cai Kun readily agreed, "I'll tell Chen Taiji, he doesn't dare to object."

"However, you have to be measured yourself, and don't make money for yourself! Xuanmen has disappeared for a hundred years, and this comeback should not be underestimated. ”

"Understood!"

Xu Zun clenched his fists, but said in his heart: No matter how much it should not be underestimated, it seems that it is not as important as this trip to Yonghui.

"In that case," Xu Zun said again, "then the official will obey Yi's decree and set off immediately." ”

"Hmm...... There are ......" Cai Kun remembered something, and added mysteriously, "When you arrive at Yonghui, you have to pay more attention, the case is important, but some things also have to be cheered up!" ”

"You ......," Xu Zun frowned, "What does this mean?" Don't...... Is there anything else going on in Yonghui? ”

"Well...... Cai Kun made a look of wanting to speak.

"Xu Zun is stupid, please make it clear!" Xu Zun spoke in his heart, if he didn't ask things clearly, wouldn't he be blind when he went?

"Whew......" Cai Kun sighed and said, "Ji Ying, you are so smart, you really can't guess?" ”

"Oh?" Xu Zun tightened his eyebrows and thought seriously, and asked tentatively, "Could it be...... Or does it have something to do with the iron coffin? ”

Hearing this, Cai Kun gave a thumbs up and said, "So far, you can be regarded as your own person!" I'll just ......"

"My lord," Xu Zun asked eagerly, "what is it in that iron coffin?" ”

"Yes......" Cai Kun looked at Xu Zun and said very seriously, "The iron coffin contains my Great Xuanguo Teacher-Qiu Dingtian!! ”
