Beside the fire in the mountain temple, Ani told Xu Zun her story while warming herself.
But the first sentence of the story surprised Xu Zun. Unexpectedly, Ani came here just for the assassination.
No wonder, every time I get close to Ani, Ku Niang will appear.
It turns out that Ku Niang didn't mean to disturb her, but she had already had a premonition of A Ni's murderous intention.
"My life experience is not false," Ani said, "I am really the maidservant raised by the barbarian princess of Haimer County, Yuanzhou.
"Just because I am prettier than her, I have been humiliated and abused since childhood. You can't even imagine what I have suffered at such a young age...
"If they hadn't wanted to sell me at a higher price, they would have ruined my appearance long ago!"
Ani told this calmly, but hearing it in Xu Zun's ears felt extremely heart-wrenching. Human nature is so depressing.
"Later, they still sold me, but they didn't know that the person who bought me was from Xuanmen." Ani continued, "I grew up in a place similar to Qinglan Temple, but the training I received
But it's different.
"I was not forced to take medicine by them because I have innate hatred," Ani said. "Whenever I think of the ugly faces of Princess Ayu and those people, I vow to use my efforts to prove my appearance.
Not guilty."
"Then..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Did you take revenge on them?"
"No," Ani shook her head, "It's a pity that their family was implicated in the county governor's case of reselling national weapons and was exiled from the army. I heard that Princess Ayu also became a maid for someone else's family. I don't know what it is now.
It looks like..."
Xu Zun nodded silently and did not make any comments. It seemed that he had accepted that evil will be punished.
"After I finished my studies, I just acted as a Taoist messenger at first," Ani continued, "I was mainly responsible for sending people and medicine to Shangyuan City!"
"Oh?" Xu Zun's eyes lit up, "Are you the Holy Envoy?"
"You know this?" Ani was surprised, and then shook her head, "How can I be an emissary at such a young age? I'm just an errand boy at best."
"Send people and medicine..." Xu Zun asked, "Who are you sending, and what medicine?"
"The people are naturally those qualified girls collected from all over the country. They are all beautiful and extremely smart." Ani replied, "You don't have to ask about medicine, right? The kind that can brainwash them.
Control their medicine."
oh……
Xu Zun remembered that when he framed Li Jinlou, it was Ani who provided them with the psychedelic pill.
"So...where did you send it to Shangyuan City? Who is your upline?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly.
"Yuanzhou," Ani replied, "but with my arrest, I'm afraid all the contact stations I know have been withdrawn!"
"Where is your online?" Xu Zun asked again.
"It's a Taoist priest from Yuanzhou," Ani said. "He trained me. I only know his appearance, but I don't know his details.
"Later, I don't know whether he made a mistake or got promoted, so I never saw him again.
"From then on, I was assigned to the Changping Marquis Mansion and became Lu Jinlong's subordinate."
"That's actually the case," Xu Zun asked again, "So, Lu Jinlong is also a Taoist-level figure in Xuanmen?"
"Yes," Ani nodded, "Marquis Changping has a wide range of connections and should be a relatively important figure in Xuanmen!"
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "Where is his mother, Taoist Priest Qinglan?"
"It should be another Taoist priest," Ani said. "Before anything happened, I didn't know about Taoist Master Qinglan and Qinglan Temple."
"What is your main job for Lu Jinlong?"
"It's better to send people and medicine," Ani said. "As I said just now, the contact points are all in Yuanzhou, and they must have been evacuated."
"Then..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Where is Lu Xiaofeng? Did you do it too?"
"No," Ani said, "Lu Xiaofeng should be an accident. Lu Jinlong is good at making opinions, but he unexpectedly became the key factor in the total collapse.
"It is said that Lu Xiaofeng's father accidentally discovered something that might threaten Lu Jinlong, so Lu Jinlong wanted to kill their family.
"And Lu Xiaofeng is an unparalleled and proud girl, so I took the opportunity to take her in."
"So..." Xu Zun frowned, "Lu Xiaofeng's family is all dead?"
"Luo Yu did it," Ani shook her head, "I didn't know about it. In fact, I just came to Shangyuan City not long ago, and I don't know much about many things.
"The mission I received is to be sent to Chongtian Temple together with Lu Xiaofeng, and then Wei Bei will be sent back to destroy Chongtian Temple and put on a show for you.
"I think Lu Jinlong had already discovered that Lu Xiaofeng was a fatal flaw at that time, so he wanted to try his best to make up for it! He even did not hesitate to destroy Chongtian Temple!"
"Oh..." Xu Zun nodded, "So, you are approaching me and insisting on being my maid, but you are actually just trying to get close to me? Didn't you just say that you wanted to assassinate me?"
"Of course it was not the case at the beginning," Ani explained. "Lu Jinlong found that you were a difficult guy, so he sent me to be an undercover agent next to you to control your actions.
"As soon as I find out that you might be able to see through the secrets and threaten Xuanmen, I will kill you immediately!"
"I see..." Xu Zun finally figured out the whole story.
"But..." Ani looked at the carriage in the distance and said helplessly, "I didn't expect that you would have a female ghost to protect you. I have no chance in front of her! I can't believe that in this world,
There are such powerful masters."
Hearing this, Xu Zun also looked at the carriage where Ku Niang was, feeling very emotional. It seemed that he had saved Ku Niang in the cellar, which was a blessing in disguise.
"Okay, let's talk about important topics!" Xu Zun turned his attention back to Ani and asked solemnly, "What are the girls trained by Qinglan Temple used for?"
"Well..." Ani said, "Maybe like me, you also need to cultivate a backbone?"
"Bullshit!" Xu Zun glared at Ani, "You can figure it out with your fingernails. You don't have to find stunning beauties to train your backbone, right?"
"Oh... that's right," Ani thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Then I don't know! Before you destroyed Qinglan Temple, I thought the base was at the Changping Marquis Mansion!
"Because every time I send people and medicine, I give them to Marquis Changping. But I didn't expect that the real base is actually in Qinglan Temple."
"Really?" Xu Zun was disappointed. He didn't expect that Ani didn't know the purpose of those beautiful women.
"Sir, you said before that Xuanmen was going to take action in the Holy Capital," Ani guessed. "Will these girls be sent to the palace as show girls, and they want to assassinate the Queen Mother and the Emperor?"
Xu Zun frowned and was noncommittal.
Before that, he had learned through Cai Kun that Taoist Lu Jinlong and Qinglan had not sent any women to the palace.
So those female killers who were trained must have other uses.
"Then..." Xu Zun thought for a moment and then asked, "As a Marquis of Changping, Lu Jinlong enjoys a high position. Why do he and his mother want to join Xuanmen?"
"I don't know about this," Ani replied, "Xuanmen rules state that anyone who secretly inquires about other people's identities will be punished!"
"Then..." Xu Zun asked another more critical question, "What do you know about the Holy City?
"If you can provide useful information to help us resolve this crisis, then you can warm my bed openly!"
Hearing Xu Zun's words, Ani's cheeks were slightly rosy, but she still gently shook her head:
"All departments of Xuanmen are connected by one line, especially in a place like the Holy Capital, which is even more difficult for ordinary Xuanmen disciples like us to understand..."
