"You don't have to worry about that. Since they've come to the capital, they're my people. I'll definitely protect them.”He Zhong looked at Priest Regret and said very seriously. Then, he thought of something and asked again," What did you get from this trip? Did you find out the identity of that person?”
"The deceased's house was surrounded by the government. We were too late and didn't find anything. I asked a local. According to him, that person's surname is Wang. He doesn't seem to have a name. Everyone calls him Old Man Wang. He passed away twenty years ago. When he went there, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. It was a local doctor who saved him. She didn't say anything after she woke up and just stayed there. This person was usually a recluse, taciturn, and did not have many friends. Others did not know much about him.”After telling He Zhong what he knew, he suddenly remembered something and said," The people there don't know where he came from. They only know that he came from the north, or that his wife accidentally told him.”
"North?" He Yunxiu muttered to herself. After thinking for a while, she said," The capital is just north of Linzhou. Are you from the capital?”
"I don't know about that. That person only said so.”Daoist Priest Regret shook his head and said," Later, I asked a few more people, and they all said the same thing. It seems that they really only know that much. However, I feel that this person must have something to do with what happened 20 years ago. Otherwise, the timing would be too coincidental. However, he didn't know if he was Zhao Shengming's subordinate or Prince Six's subordinate.”
"What does that Fu Ruihai know?”He Huafeng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked. If he wanted to know the identity of this person, he had to go through Fu Ruihai. He was so close to Zhao Luyan and Zhao Shengming, so he definitely knew about it.
When he heard He Huafeng ask about Fu Ruihai, he was a little surprised. Thinking that the two of them might have some interactions in Jiangluo City, he was not surprised. He only said,"Although Zhao Shengming asked Fu Ruihai to kill that person, he didn't tell him the identity of that person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come personally. I didn't ask Fu Ruihai to ask Zhao Shengming, as I was afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion. Although Zhao Shengming believed Fu Ruihai on the surface, he did not completely believe him. To tell you the truth, I used to be Zhao Shengming's man. I know his personality and he never trusts anyone. I don't want Fu Ruihai to be in danger. I hope General He and Grand Preceptor He can understand.”After saying that, he bowed deeply.
"There's no need to be like this, Daoist Priest.”As He Zhong said this, he personally walked down to help Priest Regret up and comforted him," I know what kind of person you are, Taoist Priest. I won't doubt you. I really admire you for sacrificing your life for justice and keeping your promise. Although I haven't met Fu Ruihai, I understand him now that I've heard about him. If it weren't for him, He Huafeng wouldn't be where he is today in Jiangluo City. Logically speaking, I should thank him, but I won't have the chance. I don't believe that you're protecting Fu Ruihai just because you're his disciple. I don't want to care about your relationship, nor do I want to know. I think the Taoist priest has been unwilling to say it, so he must have his own plans. Don't worry, I won't ask. I just hope that this Young Master Fu can tell me about Zhao Shengming's situation at the critical moment. That way, I can arrange for Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye to leave as soon as possible so that Zhao Shengming won't find out. What do you think?"
"Grand Preceptor He is very thoughtful. This Penniless Priest has already thought of this. If such a day really comes, Fu Ruihai will definitely tell me.”Regret said with certainty," Now, we just don't know what Yi Yunfei's goal is. Why does he want to rope Huangfu Ye in? Could it be that he has some grudge with Zhao Shengming and wants to take revenge on him with Huangfu Ye?”
" But Yi Yun is not Zhao Luyan's subordinate. If he really has a grudge against Zhao Shengming, why would he be with Zhao Luyan?”He Yunxiu was puzzled.
"This is not difficult to explain. Zhao Luyan and Zhao Sheng were on bad terms on the surface. Zhao Luyan wanted to get rid of her father, which was why she had roped in the people from Liugang Village. Furthermore, she trusted Yi Yunfei so much that it was possible for her to tell him about these things. It was also possible for the two of them to hit it off.”Daoist Priest Regret analyzed.
"Then does Zhao Luyan know about Yi Yunfei? If she knew that Yi Yun had a grudge against her father, what would she think? Would she still use him?”
"Zhao Luyan is not an ordinary woman. She can do things that others can't. If what Fu Ruihai said was true, not only would Zhao Luyan not kill him, but she would also put him in an important position.”Daoist Priest Regret analyzed. He looked at He Yunxiu and reminded her again," Miss He, you must not be careless about Zhao Luyan.”
He Yunxiu smiled and said,""Taoist priest, you've already told me this, and I've already remembered it. I've long heard that Zhao Luyan isn't an ordinary woman, but I didn't know what kind of person she was. Now that so many things have happened, although I can't say that I completely understand her, I know about 70 - 80%. This person is simply too terrifying. If I go against her, I'm definitely not her match.”He Yunxiu had no choice but to say this. It was not to belittle herself, but to speak the truth. She thought for a moment and said,"I thought she wouldn't be able to enter the palace this time, but I didn't expect her to still be unwilling to give up. However, it did not seem to be that easy for her to enter the palace.”After saying that, he looked at the others smugly. His father, his brother, Shen Xiyin, and Daoist Priest Regret.
"How did you know?" He Zhong hurriedly asked.
"The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, how can one enter the palace so casually? Even if Zhao Luyan wanted to be a palace maid, without the Emperor or Consort Shu's permission, she definitely wouldn't be able to enter.”He Yunxiu said confidently. She looked around at the crowd and said with a smile," I think we don't have to be so nervous. If the Emperor or Consort Shu doesn't allow it, Zhao Luyan won't be able to enter either."”
"Since you thought of this question, how could Zhao Luyan not think of it?”He Zhong didn't keep her happy for too long and poured cold water on her." If Zhao Luyan threatened Lu Yueqin, Lu Yueqin would definitely agree. As long as Lu Yueqin agrees, she will definitely think of a way. I heard that Lu Yueqin has a good relationship with Consort Shu. I don't think there is any room for negotiation. Don't think about it anymore. Think about how to deal with Zhao Luyan after entering the palace.”
He Yunxiu was speechless. She could only stand there in a daze and look at her father helplessly.
"I suddenly thought of something. It's very important, but I'm not sure. I don't know if I should say it.”Regret Daoist added. This was also something he had been thinking about for the past few days. He didn't dare to say anything because he couldn't figure it out. However, he still decided to say it on this occasion.
"Taoist priest, if you have anything to say, just say it. Everyone here is my people. I won't tell anyone.”He Zhong saw that he had thought of something and urged him.
" I fought with Yi Yunfei in Linzhou. Back then, I found him very familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before. Therefore, I kept trying to meet them. It was not only because of Huangfu Ye, but also because of Yi Yunfei. However, I never succeeded. On the way back, I was also thinking about it, but there was still no result. When I saw Guan Ye, I suddenly remembered that Yi Yunfei was the masked man I met at the Guan family.”
"What? Him?" He Zhong was shocked. He looked at Priest Regret with hope and continued to ask," Priest, are you sure?”
Regretful Daoist shook his head." No, it's night time, and they're all masked. I can't see them clearly at all. I just feel that their figures and martial arts are very similar. They're practically identical, so I suspected it. I just can't be sure, so I didn't dare to say it out loud. He had hesitated for a long time before deciding to say it.”
He Zhong didn't say anything and just paced back and forth in the room. The others didn't dare to disturb him. They just looked at him and waited for his decision. He was very anxious. After a long time, He Zhong stopped and turned to look at them. He said slowly,"If Daoist Priest is not mistaken, this Yi Yun is the person who killed the Sixth Prince and abducted Guan Feng. Did Taoist priest see Guan Feng?”
Guan Ye, who had been silent all this while, was suddenly shocked when he heard this. He wanted to ask him personally, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to say anything now that He Zhong had asked. He just looked at Priest Regret with hope.
Seeing Guan Ye's expectant gaze, he knew what she was thinking. She hoped to get a definite answer, but he couldn't give it to her, so he could only say,""I've never seen Guan Feng before, so I don't know what he looks like. Even if I did, I don't know if it's him or not. Yi Yun did not intentionally avoid me. Perhaps it was because of Huangfu Ye or Guan Feng, but it was difficult to determine.”Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, he said," It's hard to conclude whether this is the case or not. However, I'll let Fu Ruihai know. I'll let you know immediately if there's any news. It's getting late, so I'm leaving. Farewell.”With that, he turned around to leave.
"Please wait, Daoist Priest." He Zhong called out to him," Taoist priest, you've had a long and tiring journey. It's very tiring. Why don't you rest here for a night? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow." Someone, prepare a guest room for the Taoist priest.”
"No need, Grand Preceptor He, I'd better leave.”" I'm not used to living in other people's houses. It's very inconvenient. Besides, I've been gone for a few days. It's time for me to meet Fu Ruihai. I don't know how he's doing now. Maybe he wants to look for me for something.”
When He Zhong heard him say this, he did not force him to stay. He only said,"Since Taoist priest said so, I won't say anything. Taoist priest, have a safe journey.”After saying that, he cupped his hands.
Priest Regret also cupped his hands. When he turned to leave, he suddenly heard someone call out " Priest ". He turned around and saw Shen Xiyin running to him and anxiously saying…
"Taoist priest, I'll go with you." Shen Xiyin was afraid that he would disagree when she saw the troubled look on Regret's face. She hurriedly said," You left me here to handle some matters. Now that you're back, you should bring me back.”
"Miss Xiyin, the capital is not a safe place. Zhao Shengming's spies are everywhere. If they find you, they will do you harm. Although my place isn't completely safe, if Zhao Shengming wants to come, you might have to consider it. At least I can guarantee your safety.”He Zhong advised.
Shen Xiyin knew that they had good intentions and should not have rejected them. However, she knew that if she stayed here, she would not be able to get anything. She would not be able to hear anything, not be able to see anything, and would not be anxious to death. Therefore, she had to leave. He bowed to He Zhongfu and said,""I appreciate Grand Preceptor He's good intentions and I know that he's telling the truth. However, I, Shen Xiyin, did not come to the capital to protect myself. I only have one goal, and that is to find Huangfu Ye. I also know that this path is very dangerous, but I still have to go on because he is my husband. I can't leave him alone. It is safe to stay here, but the further away I am from him, the more worried I am. Now that I finally know about him, I have to go out even more. As long as I'm outside, he might see me. As for safety, Grand Preceptor He doesn't have to worry. I've been practicing martial arts since I was young, so I can still protect myself. I will listen to the Taoist priest. I will do whatever he wants me to do. I won't act rashly.”
