……

Zhou Yuan took out a brand-new envelope from his arms.

"There is a force in the east of the Imperial City, called Bihai Tingchao Pavilion, which has been deeply rooted for many years and has a strong background, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a high-end Qinglou."

Zhou Yuan said lightly:

"Those who can consume in the blue sea listening to tide songs are either court officials or wealthy businessmen, to put it bluntly, this is a high-end green building."

"And the first thing I want you to do is to go in here and help me investigate a man named Miss Jiu'er."

"I suspect she's a tip from the Weaving Pavilion."

"Weaving Pavilion?" Li Zao's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Zhou Yuan and asked, "But that force that made a fortune by selling secrets in the army, and after several encirclements and suppressions, it still stands, but is getting stronger and stronger?"

Zhou Yuan nodded, and said, "That's it."

Li Zao took the envelope with a somewhat solemn face, opened it directly, and read it carefully, what was recorded in it was the life and history of the Jiu'er girl, her interests and hobbies, as well as the friends she had made, and even recorded the guest who had spoiled her the most, the son of a wealthy businessman named Yunxuan Gongzi.

Li Zao put away the envelope, looked at Zhou Yuan and frowned and asked:

"Since you've investigated this Jiu'er girl so clearly, and you're only one last step away, why don't you do it yourself?"

"Besides, I need to know what your purpose is in investigating the Weaving Pavilion."

"Is it His Majesty's order, or is there something else going on?"

Zhou Yuan smiled:

"Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"The Pavilion Master of the Weaving Heaven Pavilion, I suspect it's Zhou Wuji."

Xu Mu was stunned: "Is it the owner of this courtyard, the current prince?"

Zhou Yuan nodded, his face slightly cold:

"Six years ago, when he left, I knew that Zhou Wuji would one day come back from the frontier, and my father originally wanted to make him the prince and tell him to go to the frontier, just to gain the support of the military department and further encircle the courtiers."

"But my father didn't expect that in the past six years since he left, not only has the fourth brother taken advantage of his mother's family to make a fortune, but even I have emerged and made many miraculous achievements, so he may have wavered a little in the selection of people for the throne."

"But no matter what, Zhou Wuji is older than us, and with the support of the military department and the forces in the rivers and lakes, I am now weak, and I must take some measures."

"As long as I can prove that the pavilion master of the Weaving Heaven Pavilion is Zhou Wuji, and take out the evidence of leaking the military aircraft and the secrets of the DPRK and China, Zhou Wuji's status in the army and in the rivers and lakes will plummet!"

Li Zao nodded approvingly.

Weaving Heaven Pavilion is a right-hand man for Zhou Wuji, even if he can't find out that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be a big blow to him to clear it with the help of the power of the imperial court.

"Behind the Bihai Listening Tide Pavilion, there are too many forces standing, intertwined, and there are many ministers in the court, but there are no people from mine in them."

Zhou Yuan continued, "If I use my own personal power to investigate, if I accidentally expose it, I'm afraid it will leave a handle on my other brothers. Especially my eldest brother, that's why I need your help."

With that, there was silence in the warehouse.

Li Zao didn't give an answer immediately, because she didn't want to get involved in the power struggle of the Great Zhou royal family, and if she wasn't careful, she would die a miserable death!

Zhou Yuan was not in a hurry, he turned his head slightly, his gaze penetrated the wall, and looked at the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

He seemed to see Zhou Wuji, who was holding on there, cleaning up the mess.

Although he won today, but for Zhou Wuji, this blow is actually nothing, and he still has a lot of opportunities to reach these ministers, because he has the support of the military, and the intelligence network of the Weaving Heaven Pavilion, and he has the secrets of too many people.

"I promised you."

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zao nodded in agreement.

Although it was dangerous to investigate the Weaving Heaven Pavilion, she was still willing to take the risk and give it a try than to be bound by Zhou Yuan's use of that piece of marriage for the rest of her life.

"Good." week

Yuan nodded appreciatively, then looked at Xu Mu and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you have to return to Great Xia from Beilong Dao."

Xu Mu looked at Zhou Yuan, frowned and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yuan smiled, took out a stack of thick envelopes from his arms, and handed them to Xu Mu:

"Four years ago, a five-stage pollution source appeared on the border of the Great Zhou, and all the heroic spirits who died on the battlefield were alienated and turned into blood demons, and the scope of pollution was so wide that it even affected the Xia Dynasty, and the damage on both sides was terrifying!"

"And this imperial brother of mine, Zhou Wuji, is the deputy general of the Red Flame Army in the border army, and the main general did not let him go to the front line in order to protect him, but just let him stay in the rear troops and kill the fish that slipped through the net."

"Later, this source of pollution was suppressed by the two masters of Great Xia and Great Zhou, and the pollutants at the core were also taken away, but this is a five-stage pollution source after all, and in that vast mountain, I don't know how many treasures have been washed by dark energy."

"The armies of Great Xia and Great Zhou, each divided their territory and went in to loot, but at this time, Zhou Wuji also jumped out, and drove straight in with the guards around him, and did not stop until the scope of the Great Xia Dynasty's looting, and the looting was full of money, but when he came back, he was discovered by an army of Great Xia, but he was afraid of military punishment, so Zhou Wuji led people to destroy the team, and afterwards gave his subordinates hush money."

"The Great Xia military was furious and recognized that this was what the Zhou army did, but all the Zhou troops who went into the mountains to loot at that time were able to come up with an alibi, and without evidence, the Xia army could only give up."

"But somehow, the story of Zhou Wuji spread, but when the Great Xia military asked for an investigation, the Great Zhou military kept saying that Zhou Wuji had been taking care of the food in logistics that day, and he had bitten to death, so the Xia army had no choice."

Zhou Yuan said lightly.

Hearing this, Xu Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean is to let me go to the border army and help you find out the specific evidence that Zhou Wuji killed the Great Xia army?"

Zhou Yuan nodded, "Yes."

"In the information I gave you, there was a person who was a close confidant of Zhou Wuji, and when Zhou Wuji entered the mountain, he didn't take him with him, but left him in the logistics."

"I think that those who have really gone into the mountains with him to kill people must have already been sealed by Zhou Wuji, and it is impossible to find out anything, so they can only start from other places, and that person is one of the breakthroughs, but how to implement it depends on yourself."

Xu Mu frowned, looked at Zhou Yuan and said, "To investigate this kind of thing, I first have to blend into the border army, but now, I can't even enter Beilong Road, how do you tell me to investigate?"

"It's not that hard." Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who was tied up with five flowers and a radish in his mouth.

The latter looked at Zhou Yuan, his eyes had long since lost the excitement at the beginning, but there was deep fear.

The conversation of Zhou Yuan and others did not avoid him.

He heard too many things he shouldn't have heard.

How can we avoid being killed?

Zhou Yuan pulled out the radish in the man's mouth, and before he could open his mouth, the latter shouted while coughing violently: "Your Highness, as long as you don't kill me, I am willing to do anything, I have a way to do the affairs of Beilong Dao and the Red Flame Army!"

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly and reached out to untie the rope for him.

The feeling of restraint on his body disappeared, and the man suddenly felt like he had been reborn, and he glanced at Xu Mu with some fear, the latter's strength was too great, and the rope was tied to him, as if his blood vessels were broken.

Yuan Mou lay on the ground, gulping in a big gulp of air, his face was pale, and it took a while to completely come to his senses, he slowly sat up from the ground, looked at Zhou Yuan with a slightly frightened face and said:

"In the Lower Tiger Roaring Army, like the Red Flame Army, they are all subordinate to the ranks of the border army."

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he looked at him and squinted and smiled:

"Look at your appearance, the size is also an official, let you take someone to Beilong Road, and then transfer to the Red Flame Army, no problem."

Yuan Mou's face turned pale, he glanced at Xu Mu, and then nodded and said, "The border army is short of people, and I have one in the Red Flame Army

A friend, it's not difficult to transfer a soldier."

Zhou Yuan nodded and helped him to stand up, the latter was burly, half a head taller than Zhou Yuan, but his momentum was more than ten times weaker.

"You're so obedient, you won't betray us, right?" Zhou Yuan unlocked the acupoint of blocking the ability for the man, and asked calmly at the same time.

Yuanmou's face turned pale:

"Your Highness, I just want to live."

"If you don't believe me, you can sign a contract with me, as long as it's not the kind of master-servant contract that hurts your dignity, I can accept it!"

Zhou Yuan looked at him, his eyes gradually became hot, and the divine golden light surged through his pupils towards the man's sea of knowledge, and the latter fell into a deep shock.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a moment, the man got out of that shocking and illusory state, he reached out and touched his body, and then looked at Zhou Yuan and asked with a pale face:

"You...... What have you done to me?"

Zhou Yuan didn't answer, just patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly, "It's nothing."

"From now on, you will be at his disposal."

Yuan Mou looked at Xu Mu along Zhou Yuan's fingers, and then seemed to remember something terrifying, he trembled suddenly, then knelt on one knee and arched his hand:

"Tiger Roar Army Mastermind, see Sir!"

Xu Mu was slightly stunned, then scratched his head and said, "Don't be so polite, we are a cooperative relationship."

"You can just call me Brother Xu."

"Yes, Brother Xu!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan turned his head lightly and looked at Zuo Mingqiu, who was also looking at him calmly.

Li Zao, Xu Mu, he has already sent a mission, only Zuo Mingqiu is left, what will he let him do?

"Do you want to follow Xu Mu back to Great Xia?"

Hearing this question, Zuo Mingqiu shook his head, his eyes showing a sharp edge: "Great Xia is too far away from the Hundred Clans."

Zhou Yuan understood what Zuo Mingqiu meant, and said with a smile, "Then you can follow me in the future."

When Zuo Mingqiu heard this, he frowned:

"What do you mean?"

"Follow me and help me fight for the throne." Zhou Yuan said, his hands were attached to his back, and he looked at Zuo Mingqiu with a serious face, "After I take the position, I will help you to take the position and regain the position of the Heavenly Master."

"And you yourself will also become the highest-level royal family worship of my Great Zhou Dynasty, if you want, I can even let you be an outsider as the national teacher of my Great Zhou Dynasty, how about it?"

When Zuo Mingqiu heard this, he didn't hesitate, he shook his head directly and said, "I want to rely on my own strength to regain my position, not on you."

"I will ascend to the throne in my own strength." Zhou Yuan looked at Zuo Mingqiu and smiled slightly, "You are just a relatively solid stone for me, I need you to put it under my feet, so that I can make the process of going up easier and more stable."

"But how am I not a stone under your feet?"

Zhou Yuan looked at Zuo Mingqiu with a calm expression:

"The relationship between you and me is just to help each other, or to use each other."

When Zuo Mingqiu heard this, he was silent for a long time.

The conditions put forward by Zhou Yuan are indeed very tempting, the latter is one of the most promising princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, the powerhouse of the half-step human king realm ranked twentieth on the world list, and the national teacher Yuan Pu is his teacher.

If Zhou Yuan can really become the emperor, he will be able to use the power of the Great Zhou royal family.

"That guy with words, it's not weaker than you, even if you really win by then, do you think the Baiyun Daoist Temple will let you go back so easily?" Zhou Yuan looked at Zuo Mingqiu, his expression was calm, and there was a firmness in his eyes that did not let people refuse, "You need me, Zuo Mingqiu, or you need to have a force that can resist the Baiyun Dao Temple."

"Even if you don't use my strength, with the help of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at least you can ensure that the battle between you and words is fair."

Xu Mu silently watched Zhou Yuan talk to Zuo Mingqiu, and did not disturb, although the words were his senior brother, but he did rob Zuo Mingqiu of the position of Heavenly Master, and it was normal for Zuo Mingqiu to want to take it back.

It's just that he is present

The only hope is that the two of them only need to decide the winner at that time, but don't fight it out to the death!

"I promise you, but I have one condition."

After a long time, Zuo Mingqiu sighed softly, then looked at Zhou Yuan and said, "I have half an apprentice, he has to follow me."

"Absolutely." Zhou Yuan opened his arms with both hands and laughed loudly, "Your apprentice, you won't be far behind, of course Lone is welcome."

"Hmm." Zuo Mingqiu nodded, "That's it."

Zhou Yuan turned his head again, looked at the Tiger Roaring Army's Yuan Mou, and asked, "When do you plan to set off from the Imperial City?"

Yuan Mou arched his hand with a solemn face and said, "Your Highness, the original time should be three days later, and I still have a batch of goods to get back."

"That's good." Zhou Yuan nodded, then looked at Xu Mu again, and said with a smile, "Since you can only leave in three days, then tonight, you will follow Zuo Mingqiu and Li Zao to the Bihai Chaosheng Pavilion together."
