A team of fast horses rushed to the north gate of Jingzhou City.

The man in black in the head showed a sign towards the defenders at the city gate. The defenders quickly made way and bowed to salute.

After a group of people entered, a small man came closer.

"Boss, is this from the royal palace?"

The head slapped the man on the head, tidied up his clothes, and glanced at the man who was asking for advice with warning.

"Stop asking, ask what should be asked, and see nothing if you shouldn't ask. Everyone is energetic and give me instructions. Have you seen nothing if you hear anything?"

The fast horse team slowed down. One team went around directly from the east to the Hejiang Chamber of Commerce. Another team came to the gate of the Ningwang Mansion. As soon as they jumped out of the carriage, the corner door opened. Liu Cheng quickly stepped out, nodded at Lao Xu, and waved his hand to the Ningwang Mansion.

"You finally came. Zhou Changshi has asked many times. Is things going well?"

Old Xu shook his head, looking solemn.

"It's good that Sanyuan is here. Let's talk about it together when we meet. The situation is a bit serious."

Liu Cheng waved his hands left and right, ordered someone to take Xue Ping and the others to rest, and led Old Xu to walk quickly towards the study in the East Courtyard.

There was no use of the communication, so he pushed the door directly into the door. Zhou Ze and Ning Wang had already raised their eyes and looked at the door. It was obvious that Xiaobai had sensed that Old Xu was about to greet him, and Ning Wang waved his hand directly.

"No need to bow. I heard Zhou Ze say that you went to Kaiyuan Temple, but did you find something?"

Old Xu was not polite either. King Ning was very military-style and respected. He drank a cup of tea and then said:

"I took people there to Kaiyuan Temple. I stayed there for a day and didn't rush in, and I didn't get close to inquire. I always felt that Kaiyuan Temple was unusual. It was originally very guarded last night, but this morning, Kaiyuan Temple was full of pilgrims, and there were no Taoists in the two halls in front of them.

I placed the team, pretended to approach Kaiyuan Temple, and before I could enter, I felt a gaze. I was very familiar and didn't remember it for a while. I quickly calmed down and hid in the crowd. I also thought about who the master of that gaze was."

"Who is it?"

Xiaobai asked anxiously because she also thought of an answer. After all, ordinary Taoist priests could not arouse Lao Xu's so nervous. Could it be that the people who slaughtered on Tianmu Mountain?

Old Xu glanced at Xiaobai, and Zhou Ze quickly reached out and pulled Xiaobai to his side, patting her arm comfortably.

"Don't worry, let Lao Xu finish speaking."

Xiaobai pursed his lips, and Lao Xu quickly continued:

"This person is He Zhenren from Maoshan Sect. He slaughtered the demon clan in Tianmu Mountain and used the half of the body of the demon clan elder to lure us into the circle, thinking about surrounding Xiaobai and I, although they were disguised as people from the demon catching department at that time.

I remembered their conversation very clearly. The elder of the demon clan helped me merge his demon pills into the white bone umbrella, and had a half-master relationship with me, so I definitely recognized this person's aura."

Zhou Ze slowly let go of his worry. He was really afraid that Old Xu would be excited and said, "I am Xu Gongzhu." I am a common person, so it's really a mistake."

This half-teacher's friendship is really good. From the perspective of Xiaobai, it can also explain the other party's identity. It is really OK.

Zhou Ze adjusted his expression, with a solemn expression on his face.

"What did Zhenren He come to the southern border to do?"

King Ning was also full of doubts. It was originally a murder case, but now it was involved in the assassination of Zhou Ze. It seemed that it was related to his participation in the battle for the throne. He was so utterly nagging that he didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.

But Lao Xu looked so confident that he said that He Zhenren came to the southern border. Although this person did not express his opinion on the surface, his relationship with the queen mother's family is well known, and there is no need to guess that they support the prince.

Lao Xu grabbed a handful of his sleeves, and Xiao Hei was thrown on the table.

Xiao Hei shivered, looked panicked, and squatted in place and did not dare to move.

"Draw those weapons."

Xiao Hei twisted his butt, everyone stared at him, looking at the pen a little shyly, and scolded Lao Xu a hundred times in his heart. How long will it take to draw this thing?

Just as it paused, Lao Xu slapped Xiao Hei's hind legs. Xiao Hei jumped in pain and pulled out a scroll from his body, threw it directly on the table, and patted it with his little claws.

Old Xu picked up the scroll and found that it was a detailed introduction and a picture. It was obviously in the underground palace. He looked at Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei quickly lowered his head.

"Didn't you say you didn't hide it?"

Xiao Hei was almost crying, Zhou Ze coughed, Lao Xu didn't ask any more questions, and he also remembered that this was the Ning Prince's Mansion.

The scroll was sent to Ning Wang and Liu Cheng, and Lao Xu introduced:

"These are all the weapons brought out. It is said that the demon hunter of the Demon Hunting Division used it. When I sent it to various Taoist temples, I deliberately acted separately.

Today I felt that someone used this Seven Treasure Soul-Snatching Sword in Kaiyuan Temple, but within a moment, the breath of this sword was blocked and could not be sensed at all.

I think this was done by Zhenren He. As for his coming to the southern border, perhaps it was for these weapons. The Monster Hunting Office was no longer in glory at this time. Zhang Zhixiong was punished and had not yet gotten up yet. The Monster Hunting Office in the southern border was in name only.

The Southern District found that the demon-hunting corps lost weapons, so naturally I wanted to investigate it myself. The saints today would not think so, at least they would not let the demon-hunting corps investigate it at this time!"

King Ning kept nodding, looking at Lao Xu's honest and even a little stupid, but this analysis was almost clear and could strongly sense his disgust towards the Maoshan School.

However, when thinking about the people who attacked Hejiang County Yamen before, Ning Wang frowned.

At the beginning, he agreed that Zhou Ze would not be the chief minister of the Ning Palace, hoping that he could be in the dark for the time being. Whether it was crossbow arrows, black fire bombs, or crossbow chariots, these trainings were the most favorable backing and his reliance.

"He is here, and you can also confirm whether Zhou Ze is the one who changed the secret of heaven. This is his purpose. From today on, you will live in the palace and don't go out for the time being."

Zhou Ze shook his head.

"Disaster is not a way. You can't panic at this time. I'll make a long-term plan. Since he came to the southern border for these weapons, let's make a little more noise and let them not go so smoothly. I think Zhang Zhixiong's injury should be healed, right?"

Ning Wang paused, then couldn't help but trembled a little on his lips, and finally he couldn't hold it in and laughed.

"Not to mention, it's more appropriate for Zhang Zhixiong to go. Liu Cheng released the news and spread the Kaiyuan Temple's story, especially weapons, which can be said to be more amazing."

Zhou Ze thought of Cui Yi and bowed and said:

"If Commander Liu makes arrangements, it is still too conspicuous. I will let you go and let the news go. This will not involve the Ning Prince's Mansion. As for the Ning Prince's Mansion, it is best to thank the guests in the closed door. It seems that he has received the news. His Highness feels that he has no face and refuses all visitors.

He Zhenren is the helmsman of the Maoshan Sect. Although he is not an official, he has been in the capital city and in front of the saints today. This is the matter of the court. Even if he is the prince's person when he comes to the southern border, no one even comes over to the Ning Palace and only says a word. This is not what he should have."

King Ning adjusted his sitting position and gradually calmed down, thinking about what Zhou Ze said.

These words are nothing wrong. Even if the old emperor's elder brother-in-law Lu Jiu comes to Jingzhou, he needs to go to Ning Wang Mansion first. Even if there is something important to do, he will send someone to inform him. After all, this happened in the southern border.

The Ning Prince's Mansion naturally has the right to know what it involves, and it cannot be covered by just trying to cover it.

Especially when this matter involves the Monster Hunt Department, Zhang Tianshi was unable to travel and could not seize such a good opportunity to overthrow the Maoshan Sect. Zhang Tianshi really had no complaints?

You should know that the demon hunting corps was stolen, which was unique in the founding of the country for hundreds of years. It would be better to find the real murderer than to hold it in. As soon as He Zhenren came, he plunged into Kaiyuan Temple, and a fool could smell a different smell.

The more Ning Wang thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Ze’s arrangement was reliable. It was the most appropriate for Zhang Zhixiong to pass by. The Monster Hunt Department could control the strength of the Maoshan Sect in the southern border.

If it doesn't work out properly, even if this matter is broken, let alone the Monster Hunting Department, even the Maoshan Sect can't stand it.

Oh, why did all the weapons lost by the Demon Hunter fall into the various Taoist temples of the Maoshan Sect?

King Ning smiled and glanced at Zhou Ze, with a relaxed look on his face.

"Okay, Liu Cheng takes a break, follow Lao Xu to stare at Kaiyuan Temple. As for the spread of the news, Zhou Ze will arrange it. Let's take a good look at the battle between dragons and tigers."
