Another late night, Xu Zun lay beside Ku Niang's window, looking at Ku Niang who seemed to be sleeping soundly, and opened his mouth several times.
But……
For fear of disturbing Ku Niang's rest, he finally chose to shut up.
Anyway, Ku Niang said she would protect her for three months, and it was only halfway through now, so she should still have a chance to ask about the iron coffin.
So, Xu Zun quietly turned his head and wanted to leave.
As a result, Ku Niang’s voice suddenly came from behind:
"I have broken the precept for you many times. I have my own reasons..."
"ah?"
Xu Zun quickly turned his head, but he only heard Ku Niang's voice, but saw Ku Niang still lying on the bed, still sleeping soundly.
"I...I understand..." Xu Zun had already been mentally prepared, so he immediately said, "I'm just worried that our trip to the East China Sea will delay your recovery.
"It's better to take a boat, but it's a bumpy ride from the holy capital to the seaside of Qizhou. I'm really worried about you!"
The dark night was silent. Xu Zun waited for a long time and finally heard Ku Niang's response.
"It doesn't matter."
Two words, concise and clear.
"Okay," Xu Zun realized something again, nodded immediately and said, "I understand, I won't do anything to embarrass you in the future!
"But there's one thing you need to know, you are my dearest person in this world!"
After saying this, the scene was still empty, as if Xu Zun was talking to the air.
After waiting for another moment and receiving no response, Xu Zun turned around and left Ku Niang's room.
After Xu Zun left, Ku Niang's body could be seen shaking slightly, as if she was touched by Xu Zun's words...
After returning to his room and lying on the soft quilt, Xu Zun's thoughts could not calm down for a long time.
To this day, he has vaguely guessed what happened to Ku Niang.
If what Yue Jinglei said is correct, then Ku Niang is most likely a killer trained by the Ruan family in Xiazhou.
Perhaps she was escorting Qiu Dingtian's body, perhaps she was punished for making a mistake, or perhaps she was presented as a gift to the Daxuan court, so she was locked in the iron coffin.
When Ku Niang woke up, she once said that the reason why they used an iron coffin was because an ordinary coffin couldn't contain her at all!
Therefore, the excrement in the iron coffin was probably left by Ku Niang.
Then, as the iron coffin was robbed, Ku Niang was also kidnapped by the gang of criminals.
Xu Zun generally knew that the iron coffin was robbed by Shen Tiande. Shen Tiande was not that powerful, so he was just an accomplice.
Ku Niang was captured by Shen Tiande and others and locked in an ice cellar for two years.
So……
The first question comes, if Shen Tiande and others snatched Qiu Dingtian's body, why would they imprison Ku Niang?
Before he died, Shen Tiande told himself in a confessional tone: Let him go!
That means that if you let Ku Niang go, Ku Niang will know nothing at all.
Therefore, Xu Zun could roughly judge that Shen Tiande and others robbed the iron coffin, but did not obtain Qiu Dingtian's body, and did not know whether Qiu Dingtian was alive or dead.
That's why they imprisoned Ku Niang and then used all kinds of torture to force Ku Niang to tell the truth.
But they never expected that Ku Niang was like a numb robot, unresponsive no matter what, which gave rise to the second problem:
Ku Niang has such superb martial arts, couldn't she have been unable to resist or escape from the clutches of the devil in two years?
In the end, if I hadn't found the cellar myself, would I have frozen to death there?
Since Shen Tiande still has accomplices, why didn't his accomplices transfer Ku Niang earlier?
The third question, when talking about Shen Tiande's accomplices, we have to think of Shen Qian.
Now it seems that although Shen Qian is a woman and young, she is very likely to have participated in the robbery of the iron coffin.
Therefore, Shen Qian and Shen Tiande are both employed by others. There is a powerful force behind them, otherwise it would be impossible to rob the iron coffin.
Shen Qian...
Grain gnat
If Shen Tiande's death is really related to Shen Qian, does that mean that Shen Tiande wanted to leave the organization and was silenced?
Shen Qian...
What kind of reason is worthy of Shen Qian killing her father with her own hands? Although it is not a direct killing, what is the difference?
Xu Zun could also guess that the forces behind the Shen family and his daughter were probably royalists.
Their backers should be the Li royal family or cabinet ministers.
So, the fourth question, why did they risk robbing the iron coffin and obtain Qiu Dingtian's body?
Could it be that... Qiu Dingtian has something in his body that can deal with the Queen Mother?
call……
I’m afraid I won’t be able to solve this mystery for the time being!
Xu Zun knew that if he wanted to know the truth about the Iron Coffin case, he had to do two things. The first point was that the Queen Mother told him the truth; the second point was to go to Xiazhou in person.
But in front of me...
Xu Zun turned his thoughts to Ku Niang, and after guessing and reasoning a lot, Xu Zun gradually understood what happened to Ku Niang.
Ku Niang has been used as a murder weapon since she was a child, so she must listen to others' orders, so... it is impossible for her to tell herself her true origin.
That's why she said that she had broken many precepts for herself!
It’s hard to imagine that if Ku Niang is so powerful, how terrifying is the master behind her?
Although Ku Niang didn't say it explicitly, Xu Zun could feel that Ku Niang's breaking of the precepts might bring disaster to her.
Therefore, I must be careful in the future and never let Ku Niang do things she cannot do...
but……
Ku Niang has now become the General of Qilin Guard. Isn't it a bit late?
Xu Zun was thinking to himself when there was a movement in his arms, and then he realized that Ani was in the nest. No wonder it was so warm.
Okay, let’s not think about it so much for now, but...
…
At dawn the next day, Xu Zun felt in good spirits.
He originally planned to take Ani and others to visit the magnificent and magical Holy City, explore the scenic spots and historic sites, taste the delicacies and snacks of Xuanmiao City, and then go to see if the Jiaofangsi here is the highest-level place in Daxuan. …
However, he quickly remembered that the Holy City was still under lockdown and none of these places were open.
Therefore, I could only settle for the next best thing and let the newly recruited chefs prepare a sumptuous banquet at home while I enjoyed myself first.
Because Xu Zun already felt that he was getting closer to the day of departure.
Sure enough, his sixth sense became more and more accurate.
After just eating this appetizing meal at noon, the imperial edict had already been transmitted to the Xu Mansion.
The eunuch who announced the decree was the Chief Eunuch of Li Li, and Cai Kun, the Chief Superintendent of the Internal Guard, also followed him, which shows that the Queen Mother attached great importance to this matter.
There were no surprises in the decree. The Queen Mother ordered Xu Zun and his party to go to the East China Sea to investigate the attack on the prince and set off immediately.
After receiving the decree, Cai Kun came to Xu Zun and warned:
"Ji Ying, it's a long way to the East China Sea, so you must pay attention to safety!" Cai Kun pointed behind him, "I have selected some good people among the internal guards. These people have all participated in the rescue of natural disasters and are trustworthy. "
Xu Zun took a look and saw there seemed to be about twenty people.
You know, the inner guard is currently seriously short of manpower, and Cai Kun can still send more than twenty masters to him, which shows that Cai Kun is very interesting.
"Thank you so much!" Xu Zun quickly thanked him.
"The Shipping Department has made preparations and prepared three ocean-going ships and sufficient ocean-going supplies for you." Cai Kun added, "In addition, after all, we are looking for the prince, so the people from the prince's mansion will accompany you.
Come, let me introduce you..."
With that said, Cai Kun brought Xu Zun to several people and introduced them one by one:
"This is the prince's young master Li Gui, this is the prince Zhan Shi Zhang Yao, and this is the prince's guest Shan Peng..."
