Pei Yuanhao from Dazhu Country, the number one person in the Great Tang Military Department. It could be said that nearly half of the current generals in the Great Tang Army were brought by him. Pei Yuanzhao was ten years older than the emperor. He had achieved outstanding military exploits throughout his life and was loyal and devoted to the Tang Dynasty. His two sons had both died in battle. Right now, he only had a granddaughter who was only sixteen years old. The Great Tang Empire's only daughter, a princess with a different surname!

In addition to the entourage assigned by the royal family, Pei Yuan Zhao also brought his own five hundred Golden Armored Iron Guards. There were only five hundred people in the kingdom, but other than the emperor, the world's best and largest private guards, the empress and the crown prince were not allowed to attend to any of them.

Pei Yuanhao looked at the distant Lu Jiapeng, who was being surrounded by the Regional Army. He was lost in thought. He had never participated in any open or covert fights between the Emperor's children. Even though Zhao Qi was mixed in with the military, he had never expressed his support.

This time, he didn't want to find out. There were too many things that couldn't be exposed. How could an old man like him care about such things? How could she be kind enough to sit in that position? For the sake of his beloved granddaughter, he would not go and cause trouble. However, this was no small matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed him to take action himself. Even so, he still intended to do his job indifferently and never create any problems.

He did not enter Lu Jia Ping. Instead, he chose to borrow Tian Patrol's second temporary tent to inform all parties that they would meet together.

Pei Yuan Zhao was not sitting in the main seat, but was sitting opposite to Princess Lin Lang and Lu Fengqiao. As for Inspector Tian and the other officials of Liangzhou, they could only stand to one side.

"Everyone, this old man has come. Firstly, there will be no trial, secondly, there will be no questions asked, and thirdly, there will be talk about right and wrong! He was only bringing the relevant people back to the capital! As for Princess Lin Lang, since she is participating as well, she should head back as well! "

Lin Lang said politely, "Lin Lang will follow the arrangements of the Dazhu Kingdom!"

Lu Fengqiao asked, "Da Zhu Country, who are you bringing back to the capital? Are there any names on the list? "

Pei Yuanhao had a good impression of Lu Fengqiao and felt sympathy for the Lu family. Although he didn't want to talk too much, he still gave them a lot of face.

"I have a list with me!"

With that, he took out a list and read through it. Then he looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Lu Xingsan can't find it!"

Lu Fengqiao sighed.

"Oh?"

Pei Yuanhao raised an eyebrow. He heard Lu Fengqiao continue: "We couldn't find him yesterday, it was all due to Feng Qiao's carelessness! After that, the manor was searched from top to bottom. No one was seen and the army was notified, but they did not discover anything! "

The Dazhu Kingdom did not say anything, but just frowned and nodded. After all, it was not the Lu Family's responsibility to see the witnesses and suspects in custody. At this moment, Inspector Tian, who was standing to the side, kneeled down.

Pei Yuan Zhao glanced at him and asked, "Inspector Tian, what's wrong with you?"

Inspector Tian braced himself and said, "Reporting to the Dazhu Kingdom, that Han Zhen has also disappeared …"

"Oh? When did you not see it? " Pei Yuanzhao's tone was icy cold.

"It, it happened yesterday as well!"

"Did you find it?"

"I-I've found it!" But there's no clue at all! "

"Hong!" The tea table beside Pei Yuanzhao was smashed to the ground by a single palm!

Lu Fengqiao was calm and unperturbed. Princess Linlang's brows twitched, but then instantly slowed down! Tian Patrol was kowtowing as if he was pounding garlic! All the officials kneeled down.

Shi Yan, who was standing outside the door, subconsciously opened the curtain to go inside and see what was going on. However, he was scolded by Dazhu at the sound of his voice. Pei Yuan Zhao was extremely unhappy: I don't want to cause trouble, but you guys are too arrogant! There were a total of two important witnesses. Who would believe it if they say that you didn't do anything? Do you really think this old man is a pig?

Lu Yuesheng had been managing the manor for many years, so perhaps it was understandable for him to have run away with an accomplice from the outside, not to mention that the other party did not have any responsibility to supervise them! Furthermore, Lu Yuesheng's disappearance would not benefit the Lu family! However, the Tian Patrol Army of a few thousand states had also lost Han Zhen. The situation was still unclear! Pei Yuan Zhao didn't want to care about what Inspector Tian had done in the past, but the current situation was like a slap to the face of the Great Pillar Country!

"A piece of trash!" Do you think that with someone backing you up, you'll forget about it? "

Pei Yuan Zhao stood up and stared at Inspector Tian. "Inspector Tian, do you know what kind of case this is? This was the Assassin King's Kill! It was the same as conspiring against someone! Lu Jiapin was surrounded by you, but now the two witnesses are gone! You say you don't know? Are you fooling me for being ignorant? "

As for whether or not they were wrongly accused, Pei Yuan Zhao didn't even have the heart to consider it. Zhao Qi Xuan also didn't get a good look, but the atmosphere in the tent was quite awkward, and just as Tian Xun was about to be led out, an old and clear voice came from outside the door.

"Sir Pei, no need to be angry!"

He could already tell that this voice belonged to someone who had helped Lu Daiwen. Pei Yuan Zhao's anger towards these people did not give him any pressure, but towards Lu Daiwen, it was definitely different. Prime Minister Yuan Shang's body was weak and sickly. He was the one presiding over the civil service. The two of them had a literary and a military relationship. They did not count on each other, but they could be considered to be on good terms with each other.

Along with Lu Dai Wen walking in, Zhao Qi Xuan, who had an awkward expression a moment ago, was the first to stand up. She coldly said, "Sir Assistant Minister, did that Prince Fake come along with us?"

Pei Yuanzhao did not understand, and did not speak. Instead, he greeted Lu Daiwen and made a seat for him, while simultaneously kicking Inspector Tian, who was kneeling on the floor, to the side. Inspector Tian didn't even dare to make a sound. He hurriedly got up and continued to hide his face and kneel.

Lu Daiwen looked at Zhao Qixuan. He wasn't the least bit angry, but she continued, "It's fake. Naturally, it can't be real. But it can be a way to weigh the pros and cons!"

Zhao Qixuan seemed to have caught on to the main point.

"Balance? You admit that the Ping Wang is fake! "

"That's right, it's a double!"

"Hahaha, the Lu family is really bold!" Do you know, because of your consideration, you might have missed the opportunity to find the Ping Wang! "

"Hehe! Your Highness, I dare to admit to ordering people to disguise themselves as the King, so I naturally don't care about the crimes you've charged me with. Why are you so anxious to convict me?"

"Humph!" Since you admit to using someone else to impersonate the Ping Wang, I believe that you will have the Da Zhu Kingdom present and you will not deny it in the future! "

"No, no!" Just now, Dazhu had read the list of names, and I've also heard some of it. This old man thought, I should sort out the sequence of events to see if there are any more, because the capital doesn't understand the situation and has missed out on some criminals! Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if I keep going back and forth! "

Just as Zhao Qixuan was about to speak, Lu Dai Wen stopped her and said, "Although Lu Xingsan and Han Zhen are missing, it doesn't matter because everyone should know about what happened!"

Then he nodded to Lu Fengqiao, who was standing behind him. Lu Fengqiao began his narration.

Zhao Qixuan had to admit that the entire story was exactly as Han Zhen had said, without any side effects!

But no one seemed to have been left out.

Lu Daiwen stared at Zhao Qixuan and slowly said, "There is evidence, but what about evidence? "As far as I know, there was a fire at the back of the mountain last night. If my guess is correct, then the scene should have been burnt!"

Zhao Qixuan's expression was expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. She said, "I only learned of this matter this morning!"

Pei Yuanzhao looked extremely embarrassed. He stood up again and walked up to the scout, asking in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

Tian Patou was about to explain, but he swallowed his words back without saying a word. This was considered a tacit agreement.

Pei Yuan Zhao turned to look at Princess Lin Lang, but Zhao Qi Xuan turned a blind eye.

At this point, Lu Daiwen spoke up, "This old man does not wish for Sir Pei to come to any conclusion, I just want to ask for a small favor and see if I can find any more evidence!"

"Please speak, Lu Yong!"

"In the back mountain of Lu Jia Ping, there is an abandoned armory cave. It has been many years, but recently this place has been filled up by someone. Estimating the time, around the time when the Ping Wang went missing, because Lu Jia Ping was always surrounded by the state army on patrol, by the time this old man found out the news, it was already too late and I couldn't do anything! I hope that the Dazhu Kingdom can help me open up this Hidden Weapon Cave. This old man thinks that maybe I can take a look at it and make some things known to the world. "

When he finished, his eyes were misty with tears. He looked at Zhao Qixuan again and said word by word, "Your Highness, do you think that this old man's request is excessive?"

Zhao Qixuan's gaze froze as her mind quickly worked, but she did not say anything! Pei Yuanhao was deep in thought, while Lu Fengqiao's eyes were crimson red. At the same time, the body of Tian Xun, who was kneeling at the side, was like a sieve, extremely eye-catching.

Which of those present was not a perceptive person? Pei Yuan Zhao from the Dazhu Country narrowed his eyes and ordered coldly, "Men, hold Inspector Tian in custody. You are not allowed to lose him, and even more so, you are not allowed to die!"

Instead of witnessing the excavation of the canyon, he stood alone at the foot of the mountain with Pei Yuanzhao of Dazhu.

"There are no other exits from this armory?"

He shook his head.

"This Hidden Weapon Cave has been here for many years! When my grandfather was there, he was ordered to start the construction. My father mentioned that the expansion went well at the beginning, until they found a natural cave that they could no longer dig. When the imperial government changed its strategy, the construction of the military cave was stopped. Young master Pei, you have heard of Yu Jin Chuan, right? "

"I have some impression of him."

"When we were young, he was the dominating figure of Jianghu for more than a decade!"

"Oh, yes, I remember! He's the one who was later called the Great Demon Yu, right? You are older than me by a dozen years. I was still a child at the time, so of course I can't remember! "

"It's said that Yu Jinxi entered this Hidden Weapon Cave in the end!"

"He didn't come out?"

"No, there were a few groups that went in later on in hopes of finding traces of Yu Jinxiang, but unfortunately, no one knew the reason and none of them came out. Ten-odd years ago, the martial arts world organized a large-scale search, a whole two hundred people.

"I've heard of this before. I thought it was a legend, but who would've thought that it was actually true."

"The story gets weirder and weirder. After that, no one dared to go in again."

Pei Yuan Zhao asked in a soft voice, "Are you suspicious?"

Lu Daiwen nodded, "That's right, those things about kidnapping and the like are all fake. Now that the scene has been burned down, only this Hidden Weapon Cave might be able to find some clues!"

Pei Yuan Zhao was silent! Of course, Lu Daiwen knew the reason for his silence, and he had no reason to drag him into the whirlpool.

It was a pity that they did not have enough time to investigate. Due to the large tremors caused by the excavation, a large area of the cave had collapsed, and the amount of engineering work needed to open up the cave was not something that could be done in eight to ten days. Although the Lu family was unwilling, there was nothing they could do. They had no choice but to give up.

The last hope that Lu Daiwen had was also shattered. Since there were people who were disappointed, it would definitely let many people feel at ease.

Zhao Qixuan was relieved when she found out that the Hidden Weapon Cave had collapsed. She did not think that Lu Daiwen, who was trapped inside the Lu family's Ping, had also found this suspicious point. It was a false alarm. She had originally planned that as long as the Dazhu Kingdom left, she would not give them another chance to turn the situation around. However, now that the Hidden Weapon Cave had collapsed, she could finally let go of her worries.

Her subordinates were definitely experts. Sending a few people to bring out Lu Yuesheng wasn't anything difficult, but she didn't think that Han Zhen would also mysteriously disappear right under her nose. This made her feel even more uneasy! She really couldn't think of who did it! Could it be that Han Zhen was running away out of guilt?

Naturally, Han Zhen would not run away without fear of his crimes. After he left the manor with Lu Xingsan, he had stayed in Patrol of the Fields' military camp the entire time! Those guarding him were all his trusted aides, but Han Zhen did not feel safe at all! Because he was truly unsure, who would be the first to make a move against him? Although he was a fan of the scene, he knew that his life was no longer up to him. He didn't even have the right to try and change his fate.

Although the sounds of footsteps outside the tent and the shadows that came and went on the tent were very ordinary, every time they would make him feel that it was ear-piercing and heart-wrenching. Only in the latter half of the night, in the dead of the night, could one really not endure the drowsiness. Only then could they sleep for a while, and if there was any movement, they would be woken up again. It had been like this for the past few days, on the verge of collapse.

In a daze, Han Zhen felt the sound of the tent flap being opened and was jolted awake. He saw a tall soldier standing at the entrance, looking at him. He had never seen this person before. The soldiers did not approach him. Therefore, Han Zhen did not show any signs of going overboard.

The soldier said in a low voice, "Han Zhen, do you want to live?"

Han Zhen did not answer him. Instead, he asked, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. If you continue to stay here, the only path is death. If you want to live, then follow me. If you don't want to live, then just nod. Don't waste my time!"

Although Han Zhen could not guess who would save him, he still firmly believed that the outcome of staying would be certain death! After quickly weighing the pros and cons, he said, "There are Regional Army everywhere. How do we get back?"

That person did not say anything. He took out a bag from his back and threw it in front of Han Zhen. Han Zhen opened it and saw that it was a set of army uniform. He immediately understood and did not say anything unnecessary. He decisively changed into a set of clothes.

There were two more soldiers inside. They were not the least bit surprised by the appearance of the two soldiers and nodded to each other before leaving the camp together. They did their patrols in a swaggering manner and walked out of the camp.

Once they were out of the tent, Gao Dajun and the other two men whispered to each other. The two men nodded and turned back.

When this matter reached a critical point, Han Zhen became exceptionally nervous. His heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He did not move a step away from the ground as he followed Gao Dajun's footsteps and swiftly disappeared into the night. He only stopped when he reached a small forest.

"Friend, can you tell me your surname? I will definitely use that name as a poster in the future!"

Gao Dajun took off his helmet as he said lightly, "Who I am is not important!"

"Then who asked my friend to come and save me? Can you tell me?"

"Me!"

A voice sounded from behind him. Han Zhen was shocked. When he turned his head and saw the person who spoke, his entire body became dumbstruck like a wooden chicken!

"This, this is impossible!"

Zhen Jiu sneered, "Then just pretend that your eyes are blurry!"
