Chapter 239: The Handmaiden
"So far."
Xu Yuan's words carried a touch of embarrassment: "Choose one of the two choice questions, as long as you are not a fool, you will choose the sect, after all, there is no risk of usurpation on the sect's side." ”
“.”
When Zhou Chen heard this, his face was like eating, he didn't answer, and he didn't dare to answer.
Can you say such a thing as usurping Yan casually?
Especially when the Xiangguo Mansion really has the capital to usurp the flames.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan didn't say anything, and sighed:
"But I think Li Zhaoyuan, as a royal family, is unwilling to make peace with the sect in his bones."
The world is not a binary opposition.
Although they didn't have much time together, Xu Yuan could see that Li Zhaoyuan was trying his best in his own way.
Whether he came to the border city without fear of danger, or he had previously wooed Xu Mengxi, it all showed that he was trying to win the support of those neutral people.
worked hard to close the gap between him and the crown prince.
Li Zhaoyuan should have seen the essence of the sect clearly.
The sect is digging the foundation of Great Yan in a chronic and irreversible way.
By the time his father, Emperor Li Yaoxuan, ascended the throne, many sects had already extended their hands to local finances.
And one party is in charge of one party's government, and many important official positions in the local government have a sect background.
If Dayan did not produce Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe in this life, there would be as few as two or three Jiazi, and as many as five or six Jiazi, and the Son of Dayan would have to become the "Son of Zhou Tianzi" in Xu Yuan's previous life.
Zhou Chen still didn't answer, this time because he couldn't answer.
He has always been very clear about his positioning, that is, a senior thug raised by Xiangguofu.
The more you know, the faster you die.
So for the twists and turns of these top-level buildings, he deliberately avoided them in the past.
Xu Yuan waved his hand and exhaled a white breath on the snowy night:
"Okay, tonight's events are all our guesses, if it's not true, we have to put a question mark on whether the person behind the scenes is the second prince."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the direction of the warehouse where the fire had been extinguished, and his tone brought a hint of curiosity:
"But I'm curious about what kind of means the man used to do it tonight."
Zhou Chen thought for a moment:
"Should it be an internal response? Buying or coercing and inducement, plus high-level cultivators sneaking in. ”
Xu Yuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
Zhou Chen said that he was inseparable, because Xu Yuan arranged for the Black Scale Guard to blow up the sect's warehouse, and these were basically the methods.
No amount of money can be done.
But the problem is that the sect has too many warehouses in the Northern Closure City, and the Black Scale Guard can take care of about half of it at most even if it is exposed, and there is also a risk of being blocked.
And tonight, the storage of the sect in the North Closure City was directly served in one pot, and there was almost no one left.
In order to benchmark the Black Scale Guard under the Prime Minister's Government, the storage of the Black Scale Guard has always been the focus of defense, and the formation is extremely heavily guarded, and it is activated around the clock, even if the high-level cultivators in the city are empty, there will be a four-grade fusion powerhouse who borrows the sky-peeping array day and night to monitor the surroundings, as long as he forcibly enters the range, with the help of the formation, he can kill the third-grade cultivators, block the second-grade cultivators, and detect the first-grade strong.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of thought.
Under this precaution, at the same time detonate the city's warehousing, this hand. The big ones are a little scary.
In other words,
The two had already braved the wind and snow to enter Li Qingyan's courtyard in the back hall.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan didn't say anything more, looked at Zhou Chen, and said in a low voice:
"With such a big snowstorm, Mr. Zhou really wants to guard the door for me?"
Zhou Chen came to his senses when he heard this, and he arched his hand, and his voice was sincere and sincere:
"The third prince is as kind to Zhou as a mountain, and it is Zhou's duty to drive and guard the door."
Seeing this, Xu Yuan did not refuse.
The coachman of the Great Master of the Three Grades, this is indeed quite pompous.
With a bow, Xu Yuan smiled:
"Then there is Mr. Lao Zhou"
"The Third Son."
Xu Yuan didn't finish speaking, but saw Zhou Chen suddenly frown and asked, "I remember that His Royal Highness Wu Yuan has never needed maids to serve?" ”
Li Qingyan grew up in the army, and he didn't have the kind of delicate air that everyone was beautiful, and he took care of himself in armor, grooming, and coiling his hair.
Xu Yuan's eyes were surprised, and he looked at the courtyard with Zhou Chen's gaze:
"yes, what's wrong?"
Zhou Chen hesitated slightly:
"That should be the maid arranged by His Royal Highness Wu Yuan to the third prince."
“.”
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped.
What the hell maid?
Li Qingyan arranged a maid for him at night, and he was stricter than himself, right?
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan leaned out his soul and went to explore the courtyard.
As an innate Dao body, after entering the realm of the Five Rank Soul Condensation, coupled with the secret method cultivation, Xu Yuan's soul was already able to cover a radius of fifty zhang.
But when the soul probed into the hospital, it was found empty.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.
Zhou Chen can sense it, but he can't, in other words, the so-called "maid" inside should be a four-grade fusion, or even higher.
It's not Li Qingyan, then the second prince or Lou Ji arranged it?
But if they were, they should have let him know in advance.
Zhou Chen saw Xu Yuan's expression, his expression froze, and he raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword behind him.
Xu Yuan raised his hand to signal not to move yet, and directly pushed open the courtyard door.
The courtyard was pitch black, with only a few bright lines of light coming from under the snow-covered lawn, and looking inward along the stone path, a slender silhouette could be vaguely seen through the window lattice of the wing room, and something was being done in Li Qingyan's room.
Is this making the bed?
The picture is a little weird in the snowy night, he has only been out for a quarter of an hour, and the bed is estimated to be hot, so someone has entered his room to make the bed?
Xu Yuan frowned, quietly took a step back, and pouted at Zhou Chen.
The meaning is simple,
You go up and have a look, no problem I'll go over again.
Seeing this, the corners of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched, but he still said in a low voice:
"The third prince, please rest assured, if there is a battle in the palace, the government array will be activated as soon as possible."
While speaking, Zhou Chen pulled out the sword with a cold light behind his back with a "poof", and came to the door in an instant.
And Xu Yuan also took out the Qingyu Sword from the Sumeru Ring, ready to run away with the Void Slash at any time.
And at this time,
The "maid" inside seemed to have finally discovered someone outside, and a light voice came out:
"Xu Gongzi?"
When Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately stood in place and looked back at Xu Yuan.
It was a familiar voice, but he couldn't remember who it was.
But since it can make him familiar, it shouldn't be the enemy.
And Xu Yuan, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, heard this voice, and his expression became very strange.
He suddenly understood why those sect warehouses could be bombed at the same time.
Seeing this expression, Zhou Chen grinned:
"Acquaintance?"
Xu Yuan stepped forward and put away the Qingyu sword:
"Mr. Zhou, you should also know, our old acquaintance in Jingjiang Mansion."
Zhou Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately put the sword back into the scabbard, smiled ambiguously, and bowed:
"The third prince pays attention to his body, and Zhou is waiting at the gate of the courtyard."
With that, he walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head, and when he passed by, he suddenly said:
"If I'm silent in two quarters of an hour, I'll just break in."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan walked to the door of the wing room alone, pushed the door and entered.
