Lin Shi was silent in thought, he really couldn't understand, who was Zhang Huai instructed to assassinate Zhou Zheng at this juncture?

However, when he thought of Zhou Zheng, Lin Shi was angry and afraid.

"This Zhou Zheng, the strength is not below me? How did he improve his cultivation? Could it be that it's a demon pill? Are the rumors true? ”

"This, it's hard to say." Murong Huang also felt incredible that Zhou Zheng's strength was so strong.

You must know that before Zhou Zheng came to Kunlunxu, he took a lot of effort to send Zhou Zheng to check it clearly. Zhou Zheng's sixth-layer spirit body cultivation is a high-level secret of the Law and Punishment Division. Moreover, in the process of Zhou Zheng's battle against Murong Shuang, Murong Huang also spent a lot of energy on detailing. It can be determined that before Zhou Zheng entered Kunlun Xu, he was indeed only a cultivator of the sixth layer of the Immortal Rank.

However, in less than half a year, Zhou Zheng's strength has been side by side with the demon king, if there is no elixir assistance, or the guidance of immortals, it is impossible to progress so quickly!

"He has entered the secret realm, could it be that he has some adventures in the secret realm?" Murong Huang suddenly remembered the secret realm that everyone longed for but was also daunted, but Zhou Zheng walked out unharmed.

Lin Shi nodded, "It's also possible!" No, this one is the most likely! Do you remember the information we got, the news that the madman in Long Hai got from the core layer of the Qingluan clan said that the Meiyu Demon King invited by Zhou Zheng was living in seclusion in a secret realm.

Could these two secret realms be the same place? ”

"It's a big possibility! If that's the case, that secret realm is too powerful! There must be an elixir or a Taoist book that can make people quickly improve their cultivation! ”

Lin Shi's heart couldn't help but be hot. There have always been rumors about the demon pill of Wolf Plain. Later, when he heard that the original fire of the demon clan had obtained those demon pills, Lin Shi was a little unwilling, but he also gave up.

But so far, I haven't seen many immortal-level powers emerge from the demon clan. Regarding the news that Yuan Huo obtained the demon pill, Lin Shi began to doubt again, and even began to doubt the rumors of Wolf Yuan.

However, the secret realm is different, and there have been rumors of secret treasures for a long time. And Zhou Zheng, a living example, was placed in front of him, and he couldn't help but be moved.

"General, you must be close to Zhou Zheng in this section. I will let Lin Miao and his officials deliberately make things difficult for Zhou Zheng, and you have to suppress them at any time and fully cooperate with Zhou Zheng. You can even say bad things about me in private to gain his trust! ”

Murong Huang quickly understood Lin Shi's intentions. "My king wants to get a channel to enter the secret realm?"

"That's right! As early as five or six hundred years ago, there were rumors that those who obtained the secret realm won the world! It seems that it is not groundless! ”

"However, what if Zhou Zheng has to target the eldest prince?"

"What should I do?" Lin Shi snorted coldly, "In order to destroy the Qingluan clan, that madman in Long Hai treats his son as a pawn, is the old man not as good as Long Hai?" ”

Murong Huang was shocked, he opened his mouth to persuade him, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth.

"The subordinates must live up to the trust of the demon king! You will definitely get the channel to enter the secret realm! ”

Lin Shi patted Murong Huang on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Brother, the entire Qilin Clan, the person I trust the most is you!" When I ascend to the immortal realm, the Qilin clan will be in charge of you! I'm relieved! ”

Murong Huang hurriedly knelt down, "The subordinates have nothing else to think about!" For my king, my subordinates go to the soup and fire, and they will not give up! ”

Leaving Xiangyun Palace, Zhou Zheng did not return to the Law and Punishment Division, but went to Qilinzi's mansion instead.

As soon as the Qilinzi entered the house with his front foot, he heard that Zhou Zheng was coming to visit, and he hurriedly invited him happily!

The guest and the host sat down, and Qilinzi looked Zhou Zheng up and down curiously.

This is a very impolite move, but as long as you understand the personality of Qilinzi, everyone will not be surprised.

Zhou Zheng was not angry at all, he also looked at Qilinzi with a smile, and also looked at him carefully.

This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown child who is only a few years younger than himself, and his eyes are full of curiosity at all times.

"What do you look like?" Kirin Zi spoke first.

Zhou Zheng smiled slightly, "Then what should I look like?" ”

"It should be very strong, tall and strong! It's that kind of powerful look! ”

"I'm sorry, I've disappointed my son!"

"Not disappointed, not disappointed! You look like this, like a teacher, I like it better! You, you're so different from what they say! ”

"Oh, what did they say about me?" Zhou Zheng is also very curious, what is he like in the eyes of others?

"Some say you're a genius! It's the same with me. Say that you can kill a person who cultivates at the Heavenly Rank when you are at the Human Rank! You also said that in less than a year or two, you have gone from a cultivator to a fourth-level cultivator of the Immortal Rank True Monarch? Simply a genius among geniuses!

There are also people who say that you are the hero of the human race, and you can drive away the army of the demon race without much effort and save the seven major factions. No, it should be the big four factions now. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng could only laugh and remain silent.

"However, there are also people who say that you are a scourge! What's more, say that you are the biggest spy of the demon clan! Because, wherever you go, it will not be peaceful, and many people will die!

When you go to Luqi Town, the leaders of the three major forces in Luqi Town are all killed, and I heard that Luqi Town is almost completely finished!

Less than a year after you arrived at the Department of Law and Punishment, one envoy, one counselor, one chief clerk, and more than a dozen priests died. Moreover, there is also a hidden master of the Law and Punishment Division, and I heard that they are about to reach the level of the demon king!

As soon as you come to Kunlunxu, the three forces will kill you to death. Do you know how many people died? More than 100,000 people You went to the Qingluan clan to become a concubine, and their second princess was found out and killed by you, and at the same time, two masters of the seventh layer of the immortal rank were killed.

Everyone says that the more chaotic the human race or the demon race, the more the demon race is most willing to see! Therefore, you are the biggest spy planted by the demons! Are you or not? ”

Zhou Zheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. However, I can't help but be shocked in my heart. He is sure that he is not a spy of the demon race, but he has a natural affection and closeness to Blackwater City, where the original fire is located. Especially Yuan Huo, as well as the master and apprentices, if he needs him to help them privately, he will not hesitate or feel guilty.

From this point of view, he is indeed the biggest spy of the original fire!

"Does Childe think I'm a spy?"

"Like! Much like that! Qilinzi nodded solemnly, "I didn't believe it at first, but as soon as you arrived in Jiaxiang City, a person died." You are absolutely... Scourge! ”

Zhou Zheng sighed helplessly, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, what can I do?" ”

"You, sad?" Qilinzi asked cautiously.

"No, just emotion! Don't talk about me anymore. I'm coming to find Childe today..."

"For Zhang Huai? I know, you're going to come to me! You ask, you know, I'll tell you. ”

"Childe is familiar with Zhang Huai?"

"Familiar, familiar. He is my eldest brother's entourage, and he came to me to tell me a lot of things. We've known each other for years. ”

"Does that boy know, why was Zhang Huai driven away by your eldest brother?"

Qilinzi hurriedly looked left and right, "I know, but the lady won't let me talk nonsense." I'll tell you secretly! It's not the eldest brother who drove it away, it's the sister-in-law! The eldest brother hid someone outside, and the sister-in-law wanted to know, but no one dared to tell her. She found a mistake and grabbed Zhang Huai and forced him to say it.

Later, the sister-in-law found out and quarreled with the eldest brother. The eldest brother drove Zhang Huai away. ”

Zhou Zheng thought about it for a while and understood what the unicorn meant.

It should be Lin Miao who raised a concubine outside with her daughter-in-law on her back. His wife found a fault and forced Zhang Huai to ask Zhang Huai, and asked Zhang Huai to tell the address. After that, it should be a matter of catching and quarreling. After that, Lin Miao was angry that Zhang Huai betrayed him, and drove Zhang Huai away in a fit of anger.

"How long has your eldest brother been hiding this person?"

"It's been more than two years!"

"Before, your sister-in-law didn't suspect it?"

"Doubted. also deliberately found fault with several people around the eldest brother, and beat it badly, but he never asked! ”

"Has Zhang Huai been beaten before?"

"Yes, several times! I remember one time when my arm was almost crippled. The eldest brother rewarded him with a lot of things, and specially wrapped him with an oiran for a month. I'm envious! ”

The reason why Zhou Zheng asked in such detail was because this kind of thing seemed reasonable, but at the time when Zhang Huai was kicked out of Lin Miao's mansion, it was a bit too coincidental.

"And then? Where did Zhang Huai go, do you know? ”

"He came to me and wanted me to take him in. I don't think it's okay to take him in, but I'm afraid that my eldest brother will scold me. ”

After that, how did Zhang Huai go to Jiaxiangju? Do you know? ”

Kirinzi shook her head, "I don't know. I never saw him again. ”

"I heard that it was Steward Zhang from your eldest brother's mansion who introduced him. Steward Zhang, do you know each other? ”

"Recognize! He is Zhang Huai's godfather. Just the introduction of him! He definitely won't care about Zhang Huai's life or death! ”

Today, the harvest here is too great. Zhou Zheng chatted with Qilinzi a few more words, and then said goodbye and returned to the mansion. At the time of parting, at the invitation of Qilinzi, Zhou Zheng happily promised to meet him again in a few days.

Steward Zhang, that is, Zhang Huai's godfather, has been detained in the Department of Law and Punishment, and after Zhou Zheng returned, he began to be arraigned as soon as possible.

Steward Zhang had already heard about Zhang Huai's assassination, and his face was extremely pale with fright.

"What is your relationship with Zhang Huai?"

Steward Zhang was very hesitant, he wanted to answer vaguely, but he was afraid that after he was finally found out, he would be guilty of another crime. Therefore, he hesitated and hesitated, and without waiting for Zhou Zheng to scare two sentences, he explained everything truthfully.

"The little one is a neighbor with Zhang Huai, and I watched him grow up since I was a child. Later, his father died, his mother remarried and left, leaving the child alone. I saw that he was pitiful, so I introduced him to the Grand Prince's Mansion.

Zhang Huai was diligent and had a lively brain, and he was soon reused by the eldest prince. However, this child is not the kind of villain, he misses my kindness very much, and takes the initiative to recognize me as a godfather, and he honors me with many gifts every year. I really think of him as my own child.

On that day, Zhang Huai accidentally broke one of the eldest lady's treasures, and the eldest lady ordered someone to beat him to death. Seeing that he couldn't live happily, Zhang Huaicai explained the address of the concubine raised by the eldest son.

The eldest lady is a vinegar jar, and she takes people to catch rapists. fought with the eldest prince on the spot, and killed the concubine by mistake.

The eldest prince was annoyed, but he didn't dare to tear his face with the eldest lady, so he took Zhang Huai out of anger and drove him out of the house. ”

"You big lady is so powerful? Even your eldest son can't do anything about her? ”

"My lord doesn't know that the eldest lady is the only daughter of the archmage Jiang Ning, and the eldest prince has always been very jealous. This time, although the archmage died, the archmage sacrificed his life for the clan. In order to win people's hearts, the demon king named Jiang Ning as the prince and buried him according to the demon king's ceremony. The current eldest lady not only has the support of the demon king, but even the whole clan supports her. Therefore, the eldest prince does not dare to tear his face with the eldest lady! ”

"And then? Zhang Huai went to Qilinzi's house? ”

"This villain doesn't know. To be honest, after Zhang Huai left, the villain never found him. Until a few days ago, he came to me and wanted me to help him go to Jiaxiangju as a buddy. ”

"Why Jiaxiangju?"

"Zhang Huai has studied cooking before, and he said that he wants to see Jiaxiangju for a long time, and then, find an opportunity to open a small shop by himself, and have a protégé to support himself for the rest of his life."

"How did you introduce him?"

"The shopkeeper of Jiaxiangju is also from the eldest prince's mansion and has a friendship with me. Introduce a guy, he won't refute me with this face. ”

"Are Zhang Huai's parents from the Qilin clan?"

"His father was. Mother, it doesn't seem to be. It seems to be a foreign race, but which race, the villain really doesn't know! ”

"Did you watch Zhang Huai be born?"

"It's not. Old Zhang Xingshang often ran away from home, and when he came back with Zhang Huai and his wife, Zhang Huai was already six or seven years old. Lao Zhang said that the two of them have been raised in other places. ”

"Does Zhang Huai look like his parents?"

Zhou Zheng's sudden question startled Steward Zhang. He had never thought about this question before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he really found that Zhang Huai and his father, who had been missing for more than ten years, did not look like each other at all.

"With Lao Zhang, no, no, it's not like! It's like it's like it, it doesn't seem like it! They, they, they, aren't they family? ”

Zhou Zheng got what he wanted to know, so he ordered someone to take Steward Zhang down and release him. Now, the case has not yet been concluded, and it is still necessary to aggrieved that Steward Zhang cannot leave Jiaxiang City at will, and must be on call.

When he returned to Zhou Zheng's residence, Cheng E hurriedly asked, "Zhenjun, do you suspect that Zhang Huai is a spy sent by other clans to the Qilin clan since childhood?" ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, "There are many such examples!" Many spies are cultivated from an early age, and they are placed in enemy countries or enemy clans from an early age. In this way, it is more secretive and less likely to be discovered! ”

"And what kind of clan will he be? Qingluan Clan, or Black Dragon Clan? Otherwise, I will privately ask Ying Yu to secretly check the Qingluan clan first? ”

"It's good! It may also be that I am too careful, maybe Zhang Huai is not a spy, but his father and mother picked it up. ”

Cheng E went through the matter again, and he shook his head firmly.

"Zhenjun, your suspicions should be right! Think about it, his father's disappearance is unknown, why didn't his mother take him with him when he remarried? Moreover, his father did not have any siblings. In other words, as soon as his father and mother disappeared, he became a complete orphan. Except for this identity, no one knows more about him. Is this a coincidence? This is the favorite disguise identity of all spies, and there are almost no flaws! ”

After such an analysis, Zhou Zheng's thinking has become clearer and clearer!

"This is someone deliberately trying to use this matter to provoke a conflict between the Law and Punishment Division and the Qilin Clan! If we don't deal with the Qilin Clan, who will be more beneficial? Or..."Zhou Zheng thought of an even more terrifying possibility!
