Hearing footsteps outside, Wei Shuge quickly went out. Not only that, when he returned, his expression was somewhat ugly, and the gaze he used to look at Zhao Jing with was also somewhat panicked. Zhao Jing's heart suddenly sank with a loud thump, as if something big had occurred.

Just as expected, Wei Shuge whispered into Zhao Jing's ear, and Zhao Jing's expression completely changed.

"Missing?" Zhao Jing was startled, "Why is he missing? Didn't you already say the name of the city? "

"It should be related to Qi Yunshan, under the current circumstances, we do not dare to look for him openly, so we can only secretly investigate!" Wei Shuge's eyes lit up, he clenched his teeth, and spoke: "If Qi Yunshan really dares to attack me, I will not forgive him!"

Zhao Jing remained silent, she hoped that... It's really nothing. Right now, the situation outside the palace was in chaos. Qi Yunshan's return had already reached the point where they were at loggerheads. I wonder what Wen Yuye found out? When Qi Yunshan comes back, how would he go to court? This Wen Yuye, could it be that he was not some useless jade? Since he was brothers with Wen Yufeng, there shouldn't be too much of a difference in personality.

The wind blew at the window, causing it to sway back and forth. Zhao Jing shrank back, it was so cold!

With such a huge disturbance on the streets of the capital, and the Prime Minister taking off his hat to ask for forgiveness, the information on the Four-direction Sect was extremely well-received. Nangong Zui had known about this long ago.

Nangong Zui sat in his own courtyard, looking at the clouds in the sky that were being blown around by the wind, leaning on the rocking chair, humming a small tune. There was a jug of wine by his side. Drinking a few sips when there was nothing to do was quite an enjoyable thing.

"Sir, you still have the mood to drink?" Xun Feng sat down beside Nangong Zui.

Nangong Zui picked his eyelids, and gulped down a mouthful of yellow soup before laughing, "Look, the sky in the capital has not fallen yet! The Emperor is safe and sound, what are you worrying about? I, Regent, am not in a rush, are you in a hurry to enter the palace to be a eunuch? "

Xun Feng rubbed the tip of his nose, "I want to get married, that's why I'm not a eunuch!"

"Then we will have a peaceful rest. Since the beginning of autumn, things have been going on endlessly in the capital. Once the scholar commits suicide and the top scholar is killed, even the emperor would be assassinated. Nangong Zui sighed.

"But even so, the adults can't just stand by. If the emperor isn't happy and asks for justice, our Four-direction Sect will bear some responsibility. "They allowed the criminals to do whatever they liked in the capital, and the ones they killed were the emperors …"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how could anyone be so honest as you to take care of all of this on their own! When people encounter these things, they won't be able to dodge in time. How many heads do you have? " Nangong Zui interrupted Xun Feng and used his hand to brush away the wound on his arm. "Do you see that?

Xun Feng curled his lips, "Could it be that you really don't care?"

"You little brat can't control it!" Nangong Zui said, "Let me ask you, if this is successful, who would benefit the most?"

"Milord's meaning is, if the emperor is assassinated …" Xun Feng almost bit his tongue, "Sir …"

"You've figured it out?" Nangong Zui laughed, "Then you're still too stupid! How about this prime minister take off his official's hat and go to court to beg for forgiveness when he was full? Even though he knew that the Regent was in the palace, he still wanted to run around in the fire kang. Wasn't this the same as lighting a lamp in the latrine to look for feces? However, I have my reservations about this matter and will not try to guess. In this world, things have always been ever-changing, but you can't do everything by yourself. Without solid evidence, you can't say anything for sure! "

Xun Feng did not understand, "My lord, you don't believe that it's Qi Family …."

"I said, Four-direction Sect only looks at evidence, do not believe me and guess!" Nangong Zui stood up, "Have you found the person I told you to look for?"

"There are thousands and thousands of women in the capital. The lord only gives a masked portrait, so it's not easy to find!" Xun Feng said, "Every time we find one, we have to cover up her face with a handkerchief. She still thinks that our Four-direction Sect people are retarded!"

"What nonsense is this? "If you find it, you find it. If you don't, you don't." Nangong Zui was getting impatient.

Xun Feng shook his head, "I couldn't find it! However, there's a suspicious person. There's a rouge shop in the city that's red from alcohol and the rouge in the house is the most pleasing to the nose. However, I heard that the owner is temporarily not in the city.

"Out of the city?" The space between Nangong Zui's eyebrows suddenly tightened.

"That's what the fellow said. He's out of the city." Xun Feng said in detail, "Our people have been watching them day and night, and they didn't notice anyone coming back. However, no one has ever seen the owner of this rouge shop. As for whether it's the woman that Master is looking for, even I cannot say! "

"Got it!" Nangong Zui made a plan in his heart, "Go back to your Four-direction Sect first, tell me if you have any other news! I still have something to take care of, so I won't return to the Four-direction Sect for now. "

"Yes sir!" Xun Feng saluted and walked away. But before he could even walk out of the Nangong Mansion, he was already blocked at the door by a row of old servants.

Floor Sweeper grabbed onto Xun Feng's clothes and directly dragged him to the corner of the wall. The steward kept an eye on them, in case his lord might accidentally kill his way out and catch them red-handed.

Cui panicked, and immediately blocked Xun Feng behind him, "Can't you be a little more gentle? If he were to ask so casually, why would he do so? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't be too intimate with each other? "

"I'm already an old man, who's not close with you!" Floor Sweeper immediately pushed Cui away, "Xun Feng, let me ask you, what kind of lady does Young Noble want you to find?"

"Awoo, awoo, awoo. Are you listening to him again?" Xun Feng opened his eyes wide.

"Aww what?" If it's not a dog or a wolf, then what are you barking for? " The butler stared at him: "Tell me, who is the lord looking for?"

"A girl!" Xun Feng glanced at Cui.

Floor Sweeper grabbed Cui's arm, "Hurry up and say it clearly, or else you will pinch her!"

"No, no, no!" Xun Feng panicked, "We really did find a girl."

"What kind of girl?" Floor Sweeper asked.

Xun Feng said, "Your eyes are big, and your body is thin. You are tall, and your skin should not be too white." After pausing for a moment, Xun Feng continued, "There's still the smell of flowers, it's probably rouge!"

Floor Sweeper scratched his chin, "Since when did young master's taste become so selective?"

"You guys are the ones who aren't picking!" I can't wait for all the ladies to throw them into Master's room. I don't care if the Master likes it or not, whether he's willing or not! " Cui looked at Xun Feng, who immediately ran off.

"Hey hey hey, you brat, I haven't finished asking!" Floor Sweeper panicked.

The butler stopped her, "Stop shouting, be careful not to let the adults know!"

Floor Sweeper frowned, "It smells good? Young master, could it be that you have met a fox spirit? "

"Bah!" The butler quenched her face, "The lord is fair and square, how could he possibly meet those things? It was most likely because he saw whose girl that he took a fancy to, but was too embarrassed to go over directly, so Xun Feng asked around! This was a good thing. Good things needed to be done, and there was no rush! This time, we cannot be disrupted like this! "

"Right, right!" Floor Sweeper nodded his head.

Cui opened his eyes wide, looking at the two old things, he started to scheme. Prepare the betrothal gift! The corner of Cui's mouth twitched, "There isn't even a smirk on his face, isn't he being too anxious?!"

Just as he was speaking, Nangong Zui had long slipped away from the back door. Wearing casual clothes and a bamboo hat, he spurred his horse out of the city.

All these years, he had relied on his intuition to do quite a few strange things, but in the end, it all proved that his intuition was right. That rouge shop was opened by that woman. Back then, in order to send someone out of the city, Zhao Jing had used Nangong Family, so Nangong Zui understood what was going on.

Since he was doing things for the emperor, the collapse of the mountains outside was definitely not a coincidence. If he could meet her outside the city by chance, all of Nangong Zui's speculations would be correct. This meant that the emperor was not a puppet, but a sleeping lion. If that was really the case, then there was still a sliver of hope in the world of Grand Xia!

Otherwise, the emperor would also be a willful and reckless Young Man, and in the future, he would just be a selfish and unscrupulous monarch.

Nangong Zui did not bring even a single soldier as he rushed out of the city. Currently, everyone thought that he was disdainful of cooperating with Prime Minister's Estate, so he ignored the case of the freshman, and using the name of recuperating from his injuries, he hid within his Nangong Mansion without coming out. It was just like a good opportunity for him to freely move about.

After hearing that Qi Yunshan was trapped at the northern foot of the Nanshan, the official road there was narrow, and there was only one road that led directly to the capital. However, there was something very strange. From the Royal Tomb to the capital, there was not only this one path, but Qi Yunshan had chosen a remote path. This was the old road. After the establishment of the new official road, very few people used it to enter the capital. Unless it was someone who was unfamiliar with the terrain! But was Qi Yunshan the type of person who was unfamiliar with the terrain and did not know the way?

Nangong Zui didn't believe that Qi Yunshan had coincidentally chosen this road, and thus, coincidentally met with a mountain collapse. It was impossible to cross this road at the moment. As he led the horse up the hill, he could see figures floating in the distance. The imperial government had sent people to move the rocks, and they had also gathered the people around to help. Nangong Zui was not in a hurry to go over. Instead, he found a tea house at a crossroads and sat down.

There were quite a few people sitting in the tea house. Some of them were commoners, while others had come back for a drink after being helped. Therefore, the information here could be considered the most extensive and well-informed.

Someone said that after a loud bang, a cloud of dust rose up from the mountain and did not disperse even after a long time.

Someone else said that there had been some noise on the other side of the mountain last night. It seemed like something had happened. However, no one knew what exactly happened. After all, the mountain rocks were blocking the road, making it impossible to walk through. Of course, there was no way to find out.

Nangong Zui drank his tea as his forehead slightly twitched. A quarrel? With Qi Yunshan around, how could they allow the army to make a ruckus? Last night, what happened on the other side of the mountain? Suddenly, the hand holding the cup tightened slightly. Could it be … If it was as he had expected, there would be a good show to watch! If he wanted to cross the mountain now, he would have to hang himself from the top of the mountain or climb over the cliff.

After putting down the copper coin, Nangong Zui stood up and left. He had originally come to find someone to verify his final doubts, but he did not expect such a thing to happen, to cause such a mess! If he knew things would turn out like this, Nangong Zui thought, he should have come here earlier.
