The core of Dongcheng District is filled with luxurious mansions, which are the residences of some powerful figures in the imperial court.

Zhao's Mansion is located on the easternmost side of this area. Outside the walls of the mansion is an alley five feet away, and its neighbors do not want to get too close to him.

There are two lifelike carved stone lions placed at the gate. In the middle is a row of stairs leading up to the vermilion gate. On the heavy threshold is a huge plaque with two golden "Zhao Mansion" dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air.

.

Ye Yuntian followed Chu Yue to the front of the mansion and felt a gloomy atmosphere around him, as if there were countless ghosts surrounding him.

Ye Yuntian's eyes narrowed slightly, and Tianxuan's eyes saw countless Yin Qi in front of him, forming a whirlpool and gathering towards the center of the mansion.

There are two situations when this happens. The first is that too many people die in the center of the vortex. The second is that there is a murderous being in the center of the vortex.

Ye Yuntian came here to seek cooperation, so he didn't insist on looking there and withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Chu Yue had already handed over the greeting card, and a middle-aged man wearing gray brocade clothes walked out of the house. He was the housekeeper of Zhao House.

Ye Yuntian could tell at a glance that his cultivation level was at the eighth level of Gaowu.

Butler Zhao took the invitation and said to Chu Yue very politely: "Ninth Princess, please wait a moment, I will go and report it right away."

"Okay." Chuyue said with a smile.

After Butler Zhao finished speaking, his body flashed and turned into an afterimage, disappearing in front of the two people.

Not long after, Butler Zhao returned and made an invitation gesture, "Ninth Princess, my master wants to invite you."

The Ninth Princess glanced at Ye Yuntian, and under the leadership of Butler Zhao, she strode towards the inner courtyard and came to the living room.

Sitting on the main seat in the living room was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue gown. He looked to be in his forties, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and a few silver threads on his temples.

He is the Minister of Supervision, Zhao Dewu.

Zhao Dewu was also very busy today. He was called by the emperor early in the morning to find out the truth about Wang Haoyuan's murder as soon as possible, and this matter could not alarm those in the Haoyue Empire's embassy.

Because the clues were limited and it was far away from the capital, Zhao Dewu had no choice but to do it. However, this matter was related to the life and death of Daqian Kingdom. His heartstrings were also tightened, and he almost tried his best and was busy all day long.

As soon as I returned to the mansion and sat down, I heard from the housekeeper that the Ninth Princess was coming to visit. I didn't want to see her at first, but I thought that the Ninth Princess would not come to see her for no reason, so I arranged for the housekeeper to bring someone to the living room.

Zhao Dewu watched Chu Yue walk in, looked at the two of them, then stood up to greet them, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Ninth Princess before."

Chuyue hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her and said, "Mr. Zhao, you're welcome."

Zhao Dewu straightened up, looked at Ye Yuntian, and asked: "I wonder what I call this little friend?"

Chuyue introduced: "Let me introduce you, this is my master, Ye Hao; this is Master Zhao!"

Zhao Dewu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Chu Yue's introduction. He saw that Ye Yuntian was not very old and was about the same age as Chu Yue, but he was Chu Yue's master.

He couldn't help but take another look at Ye Yuntian, and at this glance, he realized that he couldn't see through Ye Yuntian's cultivation level.

Ye Yuntian cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Dewu smiled softly, stretched out his hand and said, "Please take a seat."

Ye Yuntian and Chu Yue took their seats, and the maid brought several cups of tea.

"This is the new tea this spring. It's very good. You two should try it."

Zhao Dewu said something to the two of them, then he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Chuyue seemed a little restrained, and followed Zhao Dewu in picking up a cup of tea and took a sip. It was a bit hot and she almost spit it out.

Ye Yuntian had no intention of drinking tea and said straight to the point: "This time I used Chu Yue's identity to visit Mr. Zhao because I want to make a deal with Mr. Zhao."

"Oh~" Zhao Dewu seemed to be interested and asked, "I wonder what the deal is?"

In fact, he wasn't interested at all. If it weren't for Chuyue's sake, he would have asked someone to see him off at this time.

Ye Yuntian said: "I am the child of Ye Mu and his concubine Zhang Yuan. My mother was lured out of the General's Mansion yesterday. I suspect that Qianmen wants to use my mother to deal with Ye Mu. I hope to use Master Zhang's power Help me find out the whereabouts of my mother."

"Of course I won't let Mr. Zhao help in vain. I will take this talisman as a reward." Ye Yuntian took out a fake spiritual talisman and threw it towards Zhao Dewu.

The steward standing behind Zhao Dewu immediately stretched out his hand to intercept the talisman. He took a look and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, then turned around and handed it to Zhao Dewu.

Zhao Dewu took the talisman and glanced at it, his pupils suddenly condensed.

He has extraordinary eyesight, and he can tell at a glance that this is a talisman that surpasses the Xuan level. Its value is immeasurable. There may not be one in the entire Daqian Kingdom.

"I wonder what kind of talisman this is?" Zhao Dewu asked. He could see that the talisman was extraordinary, but he couldn't see the specific function of this talisman.

"This is a pseudo-spiritual talisman, an explosive talisman. It can be detonated directly with true energy. With the power of the explosion, it should be easy to kill several Xuanwu realm warriors." Ye Yuntian explained, and then said, "The value of this talisman You can see my sincerity, I hope Mr. Zhao will start investigating as soon as possible."

Zhao Dewu knew that this talisman was not simple, but he was still extremely shocked when he heard Ye Yuntian say that it was easy to kill a few Xuanwu realm warriors.

His cultivation level is at the peak of the ninth level of Gaowu. Looking at the capital city of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he can be considered a master, but this talisman can easily crush him.

At this moment, Zhao Dewu also understood that he had to agree to this deal. If he didn't agree, the other party's talisman could easily blow his entire mansion into pieces. Although the threat was not spoken, the meaning was indeed obvious.

"Did Ye Mu ask you to do this?" Zhao Dewu's face darkened, and his voice became much colder.

Ye Yuntian smiled and said: "I think Mr. Zhao misunderstood. I don't care about Ye Mu's life or death. I just don't want my mother to become a victim of his battle with Qianmen. Coming here is also my own idea. I I just want to find my mother’s whereabouts as quickly as possible, I think Mr. Zhao can understand how it feels to be the son of a human being, right?”

Zhao Dewu looked indifferent and said, "What if I say I don't understand?"

Ye Yuntian's smile faded and he said: "Mr. Zhao, I only want a position. I will figure out how to rescue him myself. This matter is not difficult for Mr. Zhao. Why should Mr. Zhao refuse?"

Zhao Dewu said: "What if I insist on refusing?"

Ye Yuntian's face also darkened and he stared at Zhao Dewu without saying a word.

Zhao Dewu also stared at Ye Yuntian.

Chuyue felt the tense atmosphere and said, "Master Zhao, my master is eager to save people. I hope you can think of a way."

"You don't have to ask him." Ye Yuntian stood up and said, "In that case, I won't force you. I will give the talisman to Mr. Zhao as a friend."

After Ye Yuntian finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

If Zhao Dewu doesn't stop him, he will return, sneak into the Zhao mansion, kill Zhao Dewu, search for his soul, and then impersonate Zhao Dewu and use the power of the Supervision Department to investigate.

From the moment he took out the fake spiritual talisman, Zhao Dewu had no choice.

If you are unwilling to trade, there is only a dead end.
