"Alright." Zhao Shengming seemed very happy. He clapped his hands and laughed loudly. He walked up to him and said excitedly," After Fu Ruihai left, there were some things that I really didn't know what to do. Now that you're here, you know some things. That is, there's someone to take over." You will follow me from now on. You will do whatever I ask you to do. I hope that you can replace Fu Ruihai and become my right-hand man. You will stay by my side in the future and listen to my orders at any time. Someone, prepare a room for Mr. Yi.”
"No need." Yi Yun refused," Thank you for your good intentions, Lord Zhao. I can accept it. Unlike Brother Fu, Yi Yun was not someone from the martial world. Furthermore, he was not alone. He had a few friends. The few of us are used to living freely and like to live without a fixed place. If we are suddenly asked to live here, we will not be used to it. Moreover, although those people also worked for Lord Zhao, they did not know the details. Those people are different from me, they don't know the pros and cons, so I didn't tell them anything at the beginning. If I suddenly move here, they will definitely be suspicious. If that happens, it will not be good for Lord Zhao. So I think I should go back to be with them and pretend that nothing happened.”
"But what if I want you to work for me? Where can I find you?”
"Lord Zhao, don't worry. As long as there's nothing, I'll come over every day. If Lord Zhao needs anything, just tell me. I'll definitely spare no effort. Besides, it's good for Lord Zhao if I stay outside. "If I stay here, they will know that besides Fu Ruihai, Lord Zhao has me by his side. If that happens, I will become the target of public criticism and it will be difficult to do things. If I wander outside, no one will know that I'm Lord Zhao's man, so naturally, they won't suspect me, and things will go smoothly. Lord Zhao, think about it, is this the case?”
Yi Yun's words were reasonable, causing Zhao Shengming to nod repeatedly. From the looks of it, Yi Yun was not an ordinary person. He was even more capable than Fu Ruihai. It looked like Zhao Luyan had not misjudged him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at Zhao Luyan. Zhao Luyan met his father's gaze and didn't say anything. She just smiled. She also knew that Yi Yunfei had succeeded. However, Zhao Shengming was not as simple as she thought. His current trust was only superficial. He still needed to properly examine Yi Yunfei. " Since Mister Yi is willing to work for me, I'll give you a task now. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."”
"Lord Zhao, if you need anything, please feel free to instruct me. I will definitely spare no effort.”As he asked, he was thinking about what Zhao Shengming wanted him to do. It must be something that Fu Ruihai did not have time to do.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want you to keep an eye on someone, the Grand Preceptor…He Zhong.”Zhao Shengming looked at him and said seriously.
"Is it that Grand Preceptor He who has long resigned and stayed at home, doing nothing all day?”Yi Yun said as if he was not seeking confirmation. She didn't know what Zhao Shengming's purpose was. Why did he suddenly care about He Zhong? He secretly looked at Zhao Luyan and saw that she was also at a loss. It seemed that she did not know anything.
"You've heard of him?"
"When I came to the capital for the exam, I heard others mention him, so I learned a little about him. I heard that this person doesn't get along with Lord Zhao, so he resigned early and stayed at home all day doing nothing. Miss Zhao and Brother Fu also told me about it, so I know.”Yi Yunfei explained," Pardon me for being blunt, but such a person is no longer a threat to Lord Zhao. It's better to let him off as much as possible. Ignore him. It's a waste of time and energy. It wouldn't be good if others found out.”Yi Yun did not know what Zhao Shengming was suddenly targeting, but he definitely had a motive. From the looks of it, Zhao Luyan did not know about this. Therefore, to get information from him, he had to use such a method. He had to suppress his intentions before he could understand his true intentions.
"Mr. Yi, do you think I'm using my position to take revenge?”Zhao Shengming sneered and shook his head." You're wrong. Although I don't get along with He Zhong, I don't have to kick him when he's down. To tell you the truth, the reason why I'm doing this is entirely because of the luminous pearl. The secret of the luminous pearl is of great importance. I can't let anyone know, especially this He Zhong.”
"Father, why would you suspect Grand Preceptor He? Could it be that he is related to Shen Mu Wen?”Zhao Luyan hurriedly asked. Her father's sudden mention of this made her feel very strange. When she met He Yunxiu in Jiangluo City, she did not tell her father. Moreover, she had never mentioned that Shen Xiyin had come to the capital and was staying with the He family. How could her father…Could it be that he had already discovered her secret? Thinking of this, Zhao Luyan felt even more nervous.
" He Zhong and Shen Muwen don't have much of a relationship. You can even say that they have never met before. However, Shen Muwen's father and Shen Deming were officials in the same dynasty. They have a deep relationship. Moreover, the two of them weren't people of the ***, but…" At this point, Zhao Shengming suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he stopped abruptly. She paused for a while before continuing," I can't tell you the secret of the luminous pearl now, but Shen Deming definitely knows. I think He Zhong might know too." Perhaps he was not aware of Jiang Luocheng's situation, but He Huafeng was his son. Perhaps he would tell him about it. If he knew that Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye had died in our hands, he would definitely not let us go. He Yunxiu is about to enter the palace. Once she enters the palace, with the emperor's support, He Zhong will have no fear of me. Just in case, I have to send someone to watch him in advance, and I can't let him find out.”He turned around and looked at Yi Yunfei. He asked," Mister Yi, do you think this matter is difficult for you?”
Yi Yun thought for a moment before saying,""The He Residence is heavily guarded. It might not be easy to do anything inside. However, if he remained calm and observed their every move, it should not be difficult.”
"That's good. I won't let you do anything. Just watch them and see what they want. If you notice anything, come back and tell me immediately.”
"Yes." Yi Yun replied loudly.
"I didn't expect your father to ask me about He Zhong. What do you think he wants?”After leaving Zhao Shengming's room, Yi Yun asked Zhao Luyan this question.
"I don't know either. He's probably afraid that He Zhong and the others will find that Sixth Prince.”Zhao Luyan said casually. She didn't care about it and looked around, afraid that someone would notice. This was a place that was relatively far from the Zhao residence. Zhao Luyan felt that she still had some questions to ask Yi Yunfei, so she brought him here. Of course, she did not want her father to know, so before she came, she had asked her father to " have a good rest." Therefore, she was not worried that her father would find out. She was worried about Fu Ruihai. Yi Yun had just told her that he had met Fu Ruihai after their last meeting. Zhao Luyan was very surprised. She never expected Fu Ruihai to not let her off. This left her very helpless. Fu Ruihai's martial arts were powerful, and he came and went without a trace. He could not discover him at all. Even if he was nearby now, he would probably not know. Zhao Luyan felt that the only thing she could do was to lower her voice so that no one could hear what they were saying.
"From the way he spoke just now, he doesn't seem to have any intention of telling you the secret of the Night-Luminescent Pearl.”Yi Yun said in a teasing manner," Is it because I was beside him that he did not say it?”
"It has nothing to do with you. He had no intention of telling me. I asked him before and tested him, but he just wouldn't tell me, so I couldn't do anything.”Zhao Luyan said helplessly," But it doesn't matter. I already know anyway. It doesn't matter if he never tells me.”
"Then what should I do now?" Yi Yun asked," According to what he said, investigate He Zhong?”
"Of course, if you want to gain his trust, you have to do as he says. Otherwise, today's effort will be in vain.”Zhao Luyan looked at him and snorted coldly." Don't think that just because he said those words just now, he completely believes you. He's far from it. He still has to observe you to see if you're sincere in joining him. "He asked you to investigate He Zhong, but he definitely won't send you alone. There must be someone behind him. You must be careful."”
"Of course I know. If Zhao Shengming trusted others so easily, he probably wouldn't be able to sit in this position today. I will be especially careful. You don't have to worry about me.”Yi Yun nodded and said," But Miss Zhao, I heard that you will be entering the palace soon. The palace is not like the outside. You have to be careful.”
Zhao Luyan smiled when she heard this."I didn't expect you to care so much about me. Why didn't I notice it before?”
"It's for the sake of others. Without Miss Zhao's tomorrow, there will be no tomorrow for me. If Miss Zhao can be safe and sound, I will have a day of soaring success in the future, don't you think so?”
"So that's your motive. You're up to no good.”Zhao Luyan sneered. She was very disappointed. No one really cared about her. Everyone had their own goals. No one was an exception. She could only rely on herself. "Don't worry, I'm going to enjoy glory and wealth. I'm not going to court death. For my own sake, I want to live well. You don't have to remind me. By the way, how was the investigation of Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye going? It has been three days. Have you found out where they are now?”
"I've already tried my best, but there's still no news. I'm also very anxious. However, since Ouyang Yuan said that Shen Xiyin was related to He Zhong, she might still be in the He residence. He should be able to see her this time. If he wanted to kill her, this was his chance.”
"But I promised Ouyang Yuan that I couldn't do it at the entrance of the He residence. If Shen Xiyin dies there, Ouyang Yuan will find trouble with me.”Zhao Luyan retorted.
" This…" Yi Yunfei was put in a difficult position. He thought for a long time before nodding and saying," Alright, I'll think of a way to lure Shen Xiyin out. I'll kill her in a place that no one knows about and leave no openings. Shen Xiyin's kung fu isn't good, so I can deal with her alone. I don't need to alert Liu Desheng and the others. What do you think?”
"It's fine as long as you think it's okay.”Zhao Luyan said impatiently. Suddenly, he thought of another question and hurriedly asked," If we kill Shen Xiyin like this, what about Huangfu Ye? How can we find him?”
" This…" It was not that Yi Yun did not know how to answer. He could not tell her that Huangfu Ye was right beside him. Just as he was in a dilemma, Zhao Luyan spoke…
"Forget it. Let's keep Shen Xiyin for now and keep an eye on her. When she finds Huangfu Ye, the two of them will settle it together. Aren't they very much in love?”Zhao Luyan let out a long cold laugh that sent chills down one's spine. Yi Yun found it unbearable. Zhao Luyan finally stopped and continued," After you find them, it's best not to settle them in the city. The two of them will leave the capital sooner or later. When you do it, no one will know. Do you understand?”
"I understand now. This method is not bad. They thought that the two of them had already left without anyone knowing. In fact, they did not escape from Miss Zhao's grasp. Moreover, they would not suspect Miss Zhao. Miss Zhao is really smart.”As Yi Yun said that, he raised his thumb.
