Not long after, Zu An followed Sun Xun to Prince Yan's Mansion. Sun Xun was surprised because he was flying much faster than his men. Unfortunately, although Zu An could not fly, his speed was not much faster than him.
"Is this man's cultivation approaching mine?" A thought flashed through Sun Xun's mind, but he quickly suppressed it. He was only so young, and even if he practiced martial arts from his mother's womb, he would never be able to compare with him.
After arriving at Prince Yan's Mansion, Zu An immediately looked around, and at the same time activated the ability of Jade Cong to directly control the small animals near the Prince's Mansion, observing any disturbance.
Prince Yan's Mansion is obviously much inferior to the Imperial Palace, but it is also very grand and majestic. Among the mansions Zu An has seen, it is probably only comparable to Prince Qi's Mansion.
However, because Prince Qi's Mansion is in the capital, there are always concerns about various specifications, so strictly speaking it is not as grand as Prince Yan's Mansion.
However, Zu An did not take this to heart. He quickly searched for traces of Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei, but the battle here seemed to have ended. There was nothing but injured and wailing guards.
Zu An frowned, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and looked at Sun Ji: "Prime Minister Sun, the war seems to be over?"
"Let's go see the prince first." Sun Ji didn't care and quickly walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace with his clothes in hand.
We met many guards along the way, but when they saw Sun Ji, they all let them go.
All the way to the inner courtyard, many orioles crowded into a room and cried, scrambling to express their inner concerns. Not long after, a roar came from inside: "I'm not dead yet, they all looked like they were crying in mourning"
What are you doing?"
Sure enough, upon hearing his roar, the warblers stopped their voices one by one.
This was when Sun Xun just stood at the door and reported to the guards. After the guards entered, the warblers soon began to retreat one after another, and they all saluted Sun Xun when they left.
Zu An was shocked. It seemed that Sun Xun was really favored in Prince Yan's palace. Even the concubines of Prince Yan wanted to pay tribute to him.
Not long after, the guards inside also came out to announce Sun Xun's entry. Zu An followed Sun Xun and saw the so-called King Yan. His face was pale now, and he looked very weak. He didn't have the aura of a great master at all. On the contrary,
Like an ordinary old man who is terminally ill.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Sun Xun was shocked and asked hurriedly,
"It's okay, she was injured by Yun Jianyue from the Demon Cult, but she is no better than me." King Yan, who was lying on the bed, replied weakly, and then looked at Zu An with doubtful eyes.
Zu An was shocked. Was Yun Jianyue also injured? She didn't know whether it was serious or not.
At this time, Sun Xun introduced from the side: "This is Mr. Zu Anzu from the Imperial Envoy. He is now the crown prince, concubine, and Yulin Zhonglang general. He has cracked the case..."
His disgusting bragging made Zu An blush a little, and then he said: "Thanks to his help just now, the murderer of Quan Zi was found."
"Something happened to Xiaoji?" King Yan was startled and subconsciously wanted to sit up, but obviously such an action affected his injury and caused bouts of coughing.
Sun Xun hurriedly ran over and helped him lie down again: "It's annoying the prince. In the end, it's Quanzi who doesn't have the ability..."
Then he roughly told what happened to Sun Ji.
King Yan couldn't help but became furious: "It's unreasonable. Someone dares to be so impudent in Yi County. Send me an order to arrest Taoist Nongmei. If anyone can capture Taoist Nongmei, he will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and promoted to the third level. Anyone who provides any useful clues will be rewarded."
Yes, at least a thousand taels of gold will be rewarded."
Sun Xun hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. Ji'er has a spirit in heaven, and I will be grateful."
Zu An on the side looked at the deep love between master and servant, and couldn't help secretly complaining, whose father is this Sun Ji?
After King Yan vented his anger, he looked at Zu An and said, "I really want to thank Master Zu for Ji'er's matter. Master Zu is indeed as young and talented as the rumors say."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I just did my duty." Zu An replied humbly and then began to ask questions he was concerned about, "By the way, we just saw a big noise happening in the palace and hurriedly hurried
Come here, I wonder if those demon sect monsters have been killed?"
King Yan shook his head: "That witch Yun Jianyue's cultivation is too high. With her protection, although the people in the Demon Sect suffered losses, most of them escaped unscathed."
Hearing that Yun Jianyue and others were safe, Zu An just breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know why Yun Jianyue led people to attack the palace. You must know that the palace is heavily guarded. Their attack is destined to be in vain. The leader of the Demon Cult is not a fool.
, why is it so unwise?"
This was also the point that he couldn't figure out the most, but with his current status, he could ask King Yan openly.
"I guess it's because we suppressed and suppressed the demon cultists over the years, making them hate us to the core," King Yan said angrily, "but the reason why they came out in droves this time is probably because they captured their saint daughter a few days ago.
"
King Yan just said it casually, but it left huge waves in Zu An's heart.
What, Qiu Honglei was arrested?
"Master Zu, what's wrong with you?" Sun Xun looked at him suspiciously, and even King Yan noticed something strange about him.
Zu An reacted quickly and immediately replied: "I once had a deal with that witch in the capital. That woman was particularly cunning and cunning, and her martial arts skills were not weak. She managed to escape in the palace, but now she was caught by the prince.
Wow, I’m really impressed.”
King Yan stroked his beard excitedly, and his eyes unconsciously showed a bit of pride: "Thank you, Mr. Zu. It was just a coincidence that I caught her this time."
He didn't dare to show too proudly. After all, Qiu Honglei escaped from the palace but was caught by Prince Yan's Palace. If someone is using this as an excuse, your Prince Yan's Palace is more powerful than the Imperial Palace. What do you want to do?
Zu An chatted with the two for a while, and then took the opportunity to ask: "Can I go see that witch? The main reason is that during the battle in the capital, I had a friend who was fooled around by her, and he kept thinking about the evil in his heart."
Hearing the sentence "I have a friend", King Yan and Sun Xun showed a knowing smile.
"It doesn't matter, you can take Mr. Zu to see the enchantress." King Yan was already injured, and he felt a little tired after chatting for so long.
"My lord, have a good rest." Sun Xun hurriedly bowed to King Yan, and then said to Zu An, "Master Zu, please come this way."
Zu An also said goodbye to King Yan, and walked out of the room with Sun Xun anxiously.
"I don't know which master captured that witch. She has accomplished such a remarkable feat. I will definitely report it to the Emperor Ming and give her a good reward after I return to the capital."
Sun Xun smiled slightly: "It was naturally the prince who was able to catch the witch, so there is no need to ask for credit. His identity is not suitable."
"So that's it!" Zu An looked like he suddenly realized it. No wonder Qiu Honglei fell into trouble. How could she escape if the Grand Master personally took action?
Soon Zu An came to a remote courtyard. The guards along the way were obviously much tighter. This was obviously the private prison of Prince Yan's Mansion.
He opened several heavy shackles along the way and reached the deepest part of the cell. From a distance, he saw a woman in a black dress sitting with her knees in the corner. She looked a little sluggish and pale, but her breathtakingly beautiful face could not be concealed.
, the witch who usually shows off her evil deeds, now has a touch of gentleness from a good family, which makes her even more heart-warming.
Zu An's heart sank. On the way here, he had been praying and hoping that the demon sect saint they mentioned was not Qiu Honglei. Unfortunately, he was disappointed in the end.
Qiu Honglei raised her head when she heard the movement, and even Sun Xun was amazed by that stunning face.
"What else can I say to you..." She scolded her coldly, and suddenly saw Zu An behind her, and her expression froze for a moment.
Sun Xun said meaningfully: "Do you two know each other?"
Zu An laughed loudly at this time: "Last time I had a sudden glimpse, the beautiful and fragrant face of the devil's sect saint could not be dissipated from my mind for a long time. When I saw you today, you are still so beautiful. I like you now more than before.
Look."
Qiu Honglei snorted: "God damn the imperial eagle dog!"
