Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 353 The Empress Dowager's Purpose

The moonlight is like water, and the sky is full of stars.

On the deck of the warship, Xu Zun stood facing the sea against the railing, with the sea breeze blowing against his face, there was an indescribable feeling.

"Master Xu," at this moment, an eager female voice came from behind Xu Zun, "I have already given you my sincerity, when will our transaction be carried out?"

The person who spoke was wearing a purple dress, and it was the Crown Princess Tian Jing.

"Crown Princess," Xu Zun said facing the dark sea without turning his head, "As long as you tell me the truth, I can grant your wish now."

"You?" The Crown Princess took two steps forward and asked, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Princess Concubine," Xu Zun said, "Don't speak dark words in front of Ming people, it's not for nothing that Xu was able to be the judge of the Great Xuan.

"Whether you have something to hide from me, you know it in your heart, otherwise, I would have agreed to your deal a long time ago!"

"You?" The princess took another two steps forward and asked, "What do you want to let me go?"

"Prince..." Xu Zun finally turned his head and asked heavily, "Where is the prince?"

"Ah!?" The Crown Princess was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? The Crown Prince's whereabouts are unknown, how do I know where he is?"

"If my analysis is correct," Xu Zun said, "besides Xuanmen, the prince should have other collaborators, right? For example... Donghai Assassin?"

"Assassin of the East China Sea?" The princess was taken aback again, "My lord, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Then..." Xu Zun stared into the eyes of the princess, and asked again, "Where is Tianlong Inn?"

"Tianlong Inn?" The Crown Princess shook her head, "I have never heard of this name before, Mr. Xu, does this have something to do with our deal?"

When the princess was speaking, Xu Zun suddenly took a few steps forward and walked in front of the princess.

The distance is too close, almost face to face.

"You..." The princess blushed for a while, but she didn't retreat.

Smelling the faint scent of a noble woman, Xu Zun remained motionless, still staring at the princess, as if he wanted to see through this noble woman!
"Prince..." Xu Zun asked coldly, "Do you have plans for the throne?"

"You?" The princess was in a daze again, Xu Zun's words seemed to make it difficult for her to answer.

After some hesitation, the Crown Princess seemed to have a premonition, she frowned at Xu Zun and said, "Master Xu, it seems that you are not going to make a deal with me?
"I just don't know, are you ready?

"If you take me back to Daxuan, to the palace," the princess said angrily, "I promise, I will drag you into the water, so that you will not end well! Hmph..."

After finishing speaking, the crown princess walked away angrily.

At the same moment, A Ni, who had been waiting in the distance, gave Xu Zun a helpless look, and then followed the princess back to the cabin.

After a while, Hou Zhen hurried over from the cabin door and reported:
"My lord, I have already asked all the warriors, and they know about the same as Xiao Zhennan and his wife. They have all heard of Tianlong Inn, but no one has actually come into contact with it.

"Otherwise..." Hou Zhen said, "If they can buy top-level martial arts secrets through Tianlong Inn, they don't need to go to Gufeng Island!"

"Um……"

Xu Zun just hummed without saying a word.

Now that things have happened, he feels more and more that the Tianlong Inn is not against the Taoist party.

Because he has seen the martial arts of people from the Xuanmen before, if the Tianlong Inn belongs to the Xuanmen, why not let the people from the Xuanmen practice it?
As long as a group of top killers can be trained, why not do the Heavenly Tribulation?
Moreover, the Taoist sword is aimed at the Central Plains, and placing such an important department in the far East China Sea is very detrimental to their own information transmission.

Therefore, Xu Zun believes that behind the Tianlong Inn, there should be another group of powerful forces!

This group of forces is probably related to the assassination case of the imperial palace more than ten years ago, and the case of fake Qiu Yongnian.

Just now, the reason why Xu Zun asked the Crown Princess for an interview was just to find out the Crown Princess' reaction.

Instinct tells Xu Zun that the princess must have something important to hide, and it is definitely about the prince.

Or maybe, the prince was innocent from beginning to end, and he just fell into the trap that the enemy tailored for him.

Therefore, the queen mother sent herself to the East China Sea, perhaps because she wanted Xu Zun to prove it.

Had the prince not been involved, the outcome would have been very different.

……

At dawn the next day, Xu Zun took Ku Niang back to the Banshee Palace.

Although Ku Niang was injured, she was fine.

It can be seen from this that the female assassin who knows the bloody palm must have been seriously injured.

Coincidentally, as soon as Xu Zun returned to the palace where he was staying, he met Kong Zhen, the banshee king, who visited him in person.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two talked about the prince again.

Kong Zhen is still trying his best to persuade Xu Zun that the attack on the prince's mission should all be blamed on the sea monster's rebellion, which is the most beneficial outcome for both parties.

Xu Zun felt that Kong Zhen did not have the sincerity to pursue the truth, so he pushed the boat forward and asked Kong Zhen to give him more evidence about the sea monster so that he could deal with the Queen Mother.

"Either you can witness the sea monster go out to sea with your own eyes, or you can get the body part of the sea monster, even if you only get a piece of dragon scale," Xu Zun said, "I can convince the Queen Mother!"

"Well..." Kong Zhen said with embarrassment behind him, "This sea monster is rare in a hundred years, God knows if it will appear again? What if I can't find it?"

"That's right," Xu Zun pondered, "So, I have to stay in the Banshee Kingdom for a few days, looking for clues, and I'm afraid I will continue to bother the Queen Mother!"

"It doesn't matter, you can stay as long as you want!" Kong Zhen said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to find clues about the sea monster as soon as possible."

After speaking, the two sides saluted each other.

Xu Zun deliberately asked about the origin of the song, and asked Kong Zhen to help him find the female killer of the blood demon.

But the words got to his lips and he swallowed them back. Now that the situation is unknown, he didn't want to ask too much.

If Kong Zhen knew that he didn't believe in sea monsters at all and was still looking for the Tianlong Inn, it might be bad for him.

So, it's better to proceed with caution now.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Kong Zhen hurriedly left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Xu Zun if he liked the ten beauties he gave to Xu Zun?If you don't like it, you can donate ten more.

Xu Zun quickly thanked him, saying that he was very satisfied, and then joked that he was going to be overwhelmed, and if he sent another ten, he would become an empty shell.

Seeing Xu Zun's happy face, Kong Zhen felt relieved, and then reminded Xu Zun that there are still ten boxes of treasures under preparation, please don't worry Xu Zun.

Xu Zun quickly polite to the queen, without any intention of refusing, just like a corrupt official.

However, as soon as Kong Zhen left, Xu Zun summoned all his subordinates and began to arrange an investigation...
