"No, no, no..." Zhao Yu denied, "You are joking again! How can I be an internal guard?"
"It's very simple," Xu Zun said, "Cai Kun told me. I'm just curious, when will you tell me?"
"Impossible!" Zhao Yu waved his hand, "It is absolutely impossible for Cai Kun to tell you, um...oh..."
At this point, Zhao Yu had already realized that he had been deceived.
"Yes, your internal guards have rules. Of course Cai Kun can't tell me!" Xu Zun said, "But the imperial edict has been issued, why are you still guessing?
"Old Zhao, why don't you tell me the truth?"
"Sir, this..." Zhao Yu suddenly blushed and knelt on one knee in front of Xu Zun and said, "Please forgive me, sir. There are many types of internal guards. If I tell you the truth, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor, not making trouble.
Just for fun!”
"As expected!" Xu Zun nodded, "As expected, you are also an internal guard!"
While speaking, Xu Zun looked around alertly to make sure that no one had seen him.
"But, isn't it right?" Xu Zun frowned and said, "When I investigated the fake Qiu Yongnian, I also investigated you. You are an old man from Xinye County and have been there a long time ago! You shouldn't be looking at Tie
Are you going to the coffin case?"
"Sir, let me tell you the truth!" Zhao Yu said helplessly, "Zhao Shengong's story was not made up. The old man lost his knife and suspected that I stole it. I could no longer go back to the Zhao family, so I came to Xinye County to seek revenge.
An express errand...
"My identity as an internal guard was only temporarily appointed after the first iron coffin case!" Zhao Yu said, "The person who appointed me is the Holy Sage, so I am different from Cai Kun and others..."
oh……
Xu Zun knew that there were two types of internal guards, one serving the Queen Mother and the other serving the Emperor.
But obviously the former has greater rights and is more upright.
"My mission is to keep an eye on the news about the iron coffin," Zhao Yu said. "The Holy One also wants to know who planned the first iron coffin case!"
"Oh?" Xu Zun raised his eyebrows, "This matter is interesting. It means that the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor both want to understand the ins and outs of the iron coffin. So... what is in the iron coffin?"
"This, Mr. Xu," Zhao Yu said, patting his chest, "I swear to God, I want to know too!
"The order they gave me was to investigate the iron coffin, but they didn't tell me what was in the iron coffin. I also called the queen a bear. Is there such a thing?"
"Then... Cai Kun already knows your identity?" Xu Zun asked again.
"Yes, there is no way!" Zhao Yu replied, "They found my house that night. If I didn't reveal my identity, they wouldn't listen to my explanation!"
"What happened next?" Xu Zun asked, "Whose intention was it to let you be my bodyguard?"
"It should be what the Lord meant!" Zhao Yu replied, "I don't know about this. The task I received is to follow you, protect you, and report our experiences regularly!"
"Report to whom?" Xu Zun asked.
"Well..." Zhao Yu looked around and whispered, "I have never reported it once! They said that someone will come to me and ask me to report truthfully!"
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao," Xu Zun stared at Zhao Yu and said, "Cai Kun knows that you are the emperor's inner guard, and also knows that you follow my orders, serving as the queen mother on one side and the emperor on the other. Don't you think that your
Is the situation very disadvantageous?
"Do you know who will report the information you report to the superiors?"
"I know all this, but I can't help it! I, Mr. Zhao, am a reckless person. I was used to being carefree in the past, and I really don't understand this officialdom!" Zhao Yu said with cupped fists, "But please don't worry, sir. Zhao Yu will only follow your lead.
If it's not good for you, I won't report it to them!
"Besides... you have devoted your whole life to worrying about the country and the people. I only admire you in this humble position, but I can't find anything negative to say about you!"
"snort!"
Xu Zun snorted coldly and said to himself, "You still don't understand officialdom, so you are so flattering."
"Sir, you understand the rules of the inner guard. This is my confession to you," Zhao Yu begged, "Don't tell me who I am, or you will lose your head!"
"It's okay, it's okay," Xu Zun smiled slightly, "It's all a loss anyway, knowing one more thing is not too much!
"Old Zhao, did you know? In fact, that Ku Niang was the one involved in the first iron coffin case - the thing in the coffin!!!"
Poof!
Zhao Yu's knees softened and he knelt on the ground, then quickly got up and asked:
"What did you say? Ku Niang!!?"
"Don't pretend to be confused," Xu Zun said, "Based on your ability, you must have suspected Mr. Shen a long time ago!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu said again, "Mr. Shen? Are you saying that Mr. Shen was the mastermind of the first iron coffin case? But... Ku Niang... how could that happen?"
"I have told you the secret, and I feel very happy!" Xu Zun said, "If you are willing to tell your superiors, you can go and report it. Anyway, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, and I can't get better.
, you can’t do any better..."
"I won't, I won't," Zhao Yu said weakly, still in a state of confusion, "I understand this truth, I am your bodyguard, I can only do it if you do it well!
"But... is Ku Niang... really the thing in the iron coffin? She... what kind of monster is she?
"Pull out Wei Beihui's trachea with one move," Zhao Yu approached Xu Zun and whispered, "Even if Daxuan's top-notch master comes, he can't do it, right?"
"Really?" Xu Zun asked, "Even your own father can't do it?"
"Even if Zhao Shengong's strength is at its peak, it is absolutely impossible!" Zhao Yu said seriously, "Wei Beihui wrote the word 'demon' before he died. There don't seem to be many masters with the word "demon" in the world, right?"
"Ah?" Xu Zun's eyes lit up, "Can you find it?"
"I...I'll give it a try!" Zhao Yu said, "I have to find some well-informed places to ask. Anyway, as far as I know, there is absolutely no one like this among the top ten masters of Daxuan!"
"Zhao Yu," Xu Zun thought for a moment and then asked, "To be honest, did you ever doubt Mr. Shen at first?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded, "I feel that Shen Gongcheng's palace is very deep. I do have suspicions, but I have never found any flaws."
Hearing this, Xu Zun couldn't help but think of what Tai Min said to him. Could it be that... Shen Qian was the real mastermind of the first iron coffin case?
"By the way, sir," Zhao Yu thought of something and added, "Although the higher-ups didn't tell me what was hidden in the iron coffin, they still revealed some information to me about the first iron coffin case."
"Really?" Xu Zun asked, "What news?"
"The iron coffin came from the direction of Xiazhou," Zhao Yu said, "It is heading northeast and is going to the holy capital, Xuanmiao City!
"Also, those escorts wearing mourning clothes are also internal guards!"
"Is he also an internal guard?" Xu Zun frowned.
"Yes," Zhao Yu said, "so I guess this matter must be related to the royal family!
"I originally estimated that people should have discovered some rare treasure from the wild Xiazhou, and wanted to transport it in an iron coffin to Xuanmiao City to present it to the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor.
"But tell me now," Zhao Yu grinned, "it is Ku Niang who is imprisoned there. This is... tsk tsk..."
"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "I feel the same way as you. Since it is used by the royal family, if it is something upright, then wouldn't it be enough to just send the army to escort it?
"But it's hard to figure out how to use an iron coffin..."
