……

The person hiding in Zhou Yuan's mansion was Zuo Mingqiu.

Seeing this inexplicably familiar face, the anger in Zhou Wuji's eyes couldn't be suppressed, and the turbid and heavy aura slapped on Zuo Mingqiu's body like a wild wolf.

Zuo Mingqiu shook slightly, and did not take a step back.

Although Zhou Wuji said that it was the Four Realms, it was not enough to make him afraid, and in front of so many people, it was impossible for him to do it.

"Annoyed?"

Zuo Mingqiu sneered lightly.

Zhou Wuji looked at him, clenched his back molars, his eyes were extremely angry, and the turbid killing intent was undisguised, which made Tan Yongzhidu, who was standing behind, frown.

Great Xia spy, is it Zuo Mingqiu?

This Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked at Zuo Mingqiu with an old, calm and powerful gaze, and his gaze like an eagle falcon and a mountain seemed to be able to see through Zuo Mingqiu's heart.

So Zuo Mingqiu silently took half a step back and moved his head.

Seeing this, Tan Yongzhi did not speak.

He didn't think that Zuo Mingqiu would be the intermittent ??????????????? of the Great Xia Dynasty Spy, because the latter has no reason to take refuge in the Xia Dynasty at all, what happened in Tianshi Mountain a few days ago is well known, as an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, of course he also knows some inside information that ordinary people don't know.

That day can be said to be extremely humiliating for Zuo Mingqiu, he will definitely find a chance to regain his position, and if he wants to go against the entire Baiyun Dao Temple, he must rely on the strength of others, so Zuo Mingqiu took refuge in Great Xia?

Tan Yongzhi shook his head slightly, he thought that if Zuo Mingqiu wanted to recapture Tianshi Mountain with the help of external forces, the first choice should also be the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I still remember that many years ago, he saw Zuo Mingqiu for the first time, when it was the autumn hunting season, Bixu Zhenren took Zuo Mingqiu to the palace to meet Emperor Zhou, and introduced that this was their generation of Daomen, the highest talent, and the genius of the Daozu.

Later, in the autumn hunt, Zuo Mingqiu swept away the top Tianjiao of the Great Zhou Dynasty in front of Emperor Zhou, including his nephew, who was known as a natural divine power.

That time, the entire young generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was overwhelmed by Zuo Mingqiu alone, and after the autumn hunt, Zuo Mingqiu discussed with all the Tianjiao in the imperial city for three days, without any defeat, so that his name as the first monarch of the Nine Heavens was widely spread to the world.

Such people say that their Great Zhou Dynasty's Xuanbang is rubbish, what qualifications do they have to refute it.

And if it is said that Zuo Mingqiu is a spy of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is even more impossible, because the latter already has a very high reputation or prestige in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is even big enough to start a sect, I don't know how many people are willing to follow him, and any super force will treat him as a guest.

That is, Baiyun Daoist Temple has a big business, and he doesn't care about this one, but even so, what reason does he have to be a spy of the Great Xia Dynasty?

Tan Yongzhi really couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly, "Why are you here?" ”

Zuo Mingqiu replied when he heard this:

"Because I am friends with Zhou Yuan."

Tan Yongzhi frowned and asked, "Just friends?" ”

Zhou Yuan glanced at Zuo Mingqiu calmly.

Zhou Wuji was also inexplicably nervous.

Zuo Mingqiu said silently: "I have nowhere to go, maybe I will live here for a long time in the future." ”

Tan Yongzhi glanced at him deeply and said, "With your talent, you can find a lot of places to live, so there is no need to bother the third prince." ”

Zhou Yuan frowned, stepped forward and interrupted: "Talking about my lord, it seems that it has nothing to do with you where this friend of mine wants to live." ”

Tan Yongzhi's eyes were calm: "If he just lives here, of course it has nothing to do with me, but if he wants to use the power of our Great Zhou Dynasty to deal with the Baiyun Daoist Temple, it will be very important to me!" ”

】

"Don't worry, the position of the Heavenly Master, I will use my own strength to take it back." Zuo Mingqiu looked at Tan Yongzhi calmly, and said lightly: "I just live here, and by the way, I will help him do something as a reward." ”

Tan Yongzhi was silent, glanced at Zuo Mingqiu deeply, and then looked at Zhou Wuji, and sighed heavily.

Zhou Wuji was suddenly nervous, his face turned pale, his head was a mess, and he didn't know what to say.

He put so much effort into it, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty accompanied him to sing on stage, but the one that was finally found out was Zhou Yuan's fiancée, and the other was Zuo Mingqiu, the former Taoist of Tianshi Mountain, and these two people could not be spies of the Demon Eradication Division!

This kind of mistake, if it is an ordinary occasion, it is just a mistake, but today's platform is ??????????????? He took such a big ride, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were present, he didn't even give Emperor Zhou's face, and forcibly led troops to break into Zhou Yuan's mansion, but he didn't find anything, what should he do now?

"Brother Huang, don't you want to say something?"

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth lightly and took a step forward, there was no expression on his noble and handsome face, and the breeze between his sleeves was like a cold ice blade in the north, all of which clicked on Zhou Wuji's body, causing the latter's lips to freeze white, and the turbid murderous aura dissipated.

The offensives he played were all defused by Zhou Yuan one by one.

And now, it's Zhou Yuan's turn.

Zhou Wuji didn't speak, just raised his head, and the two looked at each other in a very short distance.

A smile rose on Zhou Yuan's handsome and noble face, and he leaned into his ear and whispered: "The blacksmith on the thirteenth street, the teahouse on the eighteenth lane, you say, if I expose all your foundations in front of the ministers, plus today's oolong, what will they and my father think of you?" ”

Zhou Yuan's voice was a bit joking, whether it was the blacksmith or the teahouse, as long as it was used properly, it was an existence that could make Zhou Wuji cut off an arm, before he took out these two hole cards in a row, wanting to withdraw his troops in exchange for the latter, but Zhou Wuji told him a story called the Three Kingdoms.

If he was the Duke of Chu Guo, he would destroy Sui An at all costs, but when Chu Guogong still failed to destroy Sui An after breaking his muscles and bones, what should he do, or rather, what would Sui An do at this time?

The corners of Zhou Wuji's mouth twitched slightly, trying to restrain the anger and fear in his heart, his eyes trembled and stared at Zhou Yuan and said, "The fourth brother has his mother's family, he can find out what you can't find!" ”

"If you open your mouth today, the credit will be his, and those ministers will only value him more, and no one will care about you!"

"I can't get any good, but it's better than you have to break two arms." Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, his gaze staring at Zhou Wuji's eyes aggressively, "I didn't come here to chat with you, have you figured out what price to offer, brother?" ”

"You!" Zhou Wuji stared at Zhou Yuan, and the latter's eyes made him shiver.

In twenty years, this was the first time he felt afraid of Zhou Yuan, even if Zhou Yuan won the military department in the Prince's Court a few days ago, he didn't feel how terrible Zhou Yuan was when he took out the hundred clothes, at most he was just afraid, but now he was afraid.

Zhou Wuji's nose twitched slightly, wrinkles appeared on his rough skin, his face was a little pale, and he slowly turned his head to look at the ministers behind him.

Today he lost, and he lost completely.

It's not just that the spy didn't catch it, but just now, when Zhou Yuan came over to ask him for the price, he suddenly realized how terrible Zhou Yuan was.

Obviously, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were present, Zhou Yuan only needed to take the opportunity to fall into the well and put forward something unfavorable to himself, even if the evidence was not so comprehensive, those ministers would still believe it all, and would use their strength to investigate in private, which would bring him endless trouble, just like if he brought troops to search Zhou Yuan's mansion today.

This civil and military officer of the Manchu Dynasty is a sharp sword, but it is a double-edged sword, and who can be injured in the end depends on who can hold it more firmly between the two of them.

When he held the sword, he went on a rampage and killed them all, but when it was Zhou Yuan's turn to hold the sword, he didn't rush to fall into the well, but talked to him about the price!

Zhou Wuji took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Yuan and said deeply: "You are very tolerant, just like the Duke of Chu back then, you know how to take every step of the way and maximize your own interests." ”

"Have I become the Duke of Chu again, eldest brother, you are really fickle. ???????????????" Zhou Yuan smiled faintly.

"If you don't know what price to pay, I'll do it for you."

"That blacksmith shop must be closed, you can deal with the people inside, we all have our own skills, but you have to leave the other people in the Weaving Heaven Pavilion to me."

"With a half-collapsed Weaving Heaven Pavilion, in exchange for the teahouse in the eighteenth lane of the street, the rain house in the rain lotus pond, and your aunt's study, this deal, will you do it or not?"

Zhou Wuji swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and fell into a violent struggle.

The Weaving Heaven Pavilion was founded by him, and its importance to him can be imagined, but after today, he knows that it is difficult for the Weaving Heaven Pavilion to play its role in the rivers and lakes, because it has been completely exposed to the vision of the imperial court.

The rest of the personnel can only run away and dodge, I don't know when it will be on scale again, and if it weren't for the help of the library, the rain house, and the teahouse, he might never be able to wait for that day!

Selling the Weaving Heaven Pavilion, letting Zhou Yuan receive the merit and protecting the others, is equivalent to a strong man breaking his wrist, so he has to do this deal, otherwise once Zhou Yuan scatters all the evidence, the four princes will definitely send someone to follow up, and when Zhou Yuan can't get any benefits, his damage will be even greater.

"The Weaving Heaven Pavilion is gone, I have others, but if they are gone together, I will really only have the military department left!"

Zhou Wuji sighed heavily in his heart, then waved his hand a little tiredly, and was about to say something, when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the street not far away, and then a young man in a luxurious robe squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards this side with an anxious and surprised face.

"It's him."

Zhou Yuan's eyes froze, and the person who came was his younger brother, the concubine who had been following Zhou Wuji, the Seventh Prince.

How did he end up here?

When Zhou Wuji saw the person coming, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and his weak body seemed to be injected with energy, and he stood tall again.

"Good...... Good news! ”

The Seventh Prince trotted all the way, panting and looking at Zhou Wuji, and began to shout from afar:

"Those two spies of the Great Xia Dynasty have been caught, and they are now being escorted to the palace, and Your Majesty will personally interrogate them!"
