Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 386 Another Enemy

The next morning.

The blue waves are vast, and the wind is rising and the sails are hanging.

A few water birds, tired from flying, flapped their wings and landed on the tall transom.

At the bow of the boat, Xu Zun stared into the distance, still thinking about various things.

Brother Shen...

He secretly sighed, it's not that I don't want to agree, it's just that your deathbed entrustment, brother, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for me to do it!

Yes, whenever there is an opportunity, I will naturally protect the Shen brothers and sisters, and I will do my best.

However, now that even my own future is uncertain, how can I make promises in vain?
The prince is dead!

How would his death affect him?According to the Queen Mother's temper, I'm afraid it's hard to protect myself, how can I protect others?
Moreover, I do not promise you, the most important point is that brother, I have something important to tell you before I have time!
Shen Gong's death was most likely caused by your younger sister Shen Qian. Under such circumstances, how could I promise to take care of them?
Shen Qian...

Thinking of this distant fiancée, Xu Zun couldn't help frowning.

Unexpectedly, she actually followed Princess Ronghua.

Perhaps Shen Qian's taking advantage of the chaos to kill Shen Gong is also related to this relationship?
Either, the forces represented by Shen Qian had conflicts with the royalists like Lord Shen, or Shen Qian had some reason in the hands of others, or she was coerced or something...

Gee...

Xu Zun didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he didn't know Princess Ronghua well, guessing was useless.

The same is true for the female killer who knows the bloody palm. Without solid evidence, Xu Zun has no way of judging who sent her.

He only knew that this person might have something to do with Mao Jifang.

After all, Blood Fiend Palm is Mao Jifang's unique secret skill, and this kind of yin and evil martial arts can hardly be self-taught.

Mao Jifang is one of the top ten masters of Daxuan. According to Zhao Yu, his martial arts may be even higher than Yue Jinglei and Wang Dian, and he is the best in the world by default by the Jianghu people!

However, people like him who stand at the top generally disdain to participate in court battles, and it is said that Mao Jifang never accepts female apprentices.

Therefore, the origin of the female killer is still debatable.

However, what Xu Zun is worried about now is not the identity of the female killer, but how he will report to the Queen Mother when he returns to Daxuan?
Although Kong Zhen, who was an important criminal, was captured and brought back alive by him, his situation became more precarious and rootless because of the death of the prince.

Xu Zun had done dozens of deduction before, but no matter how he deduces, his ending will not be good.

Even if the female killer was really sent by the queen mother, even if the queen mother really wanted the prince to die in the Banshee Kingdom, then Xu Zun's fate would not be much better.

Because, Xu Zun knew very well that the queen mother would never announce the prince's scandal to the world, so she must find a scapegoat.

Even if the scapegoat is Kong Zhen, the Banshee Kingdom, or the entire East China Sea countries, the crime of protecting the crown prince against him is still valid.

At that time, it's okay to say that the official can't be saved, I'm afraid I can't save my life!

Ugh……

Xu Zun racked his brains and thought hard, trying to find a hope out of it, a hope that would not be at the mercy of fate.

However, if one really wants to get rid of fate, there is probably only one way to go, and that is to go directly to Nanyang, neither to return to Daxuan, nor to stay in the East China Sea.

Then, relying on the property, top-notch fighters, hard work and wisdom that I have now, maybe I can become a little king in Nanyang, right?

The beauties that Kong Zhen gave him are all there, and when the time comes there will be groups of concubines, happy like gods?
Ha ha……

Xu Zun smiled knowingly, such a beautiful thing, I'm afraid it's just a thought.

It is impossible for first-class fighters to follow me to drift overseas; in addition, many of my people are queen mothers, even if they go to the ends of the world, I am afraid they will be chased back!

Just as he was thinking, he heard movement behind him and looked back, only to see that Zhao Yu had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord," seeing Xu Zun turning his head, Zhao Yu took a few steps forward and came to Xu Zun's side and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, our boat seems to be heading north all the way. state?"

"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "Let's go north and bypass the Izumo Kingdom, and then head west."

"Then..." Zhao Yu scratched his head, "Is that going to Qingzhou or Liaozhou? Why? That would be a long way around! Besides..." He lowered his voice for fear of being heard by others, "Our sailors are all State!"

Xu Zun didn't answer, but glanced at him indifferently.

"Ah?" Zhao Yu's mind was quick, and he immediately understood something, and asked, "What does your lord mean, is it dangerous for us to go to Qizhou?"

"It's more than dangerous," Xu Zun sneered, "I can guarantee that as soon as we land in Qizhou, we will be attacked immediately!"

"Why?" Zhao Yu said, "Also, what are we afraid of? With these fighters on board, the world is invincible!"

"Your tone is more and more like Huo Anu," Xu Zun sighed, "What if they use the Daxuan battleship? Is it still useful to have high martial arts?"

"No way? Why do you think so?" Zhao Yu was still puzzled, "Isn't the case of the mission already cleared up? Don't you worry that after such a long time, Qizhou is still occupied by pirates from the Izumo Kingdom?" no?

"Also," he added, "how am I like Huo Anu?"

"Qizhou cannot be occupied by pirates," Xu Zun said, "but Qizhou has another enemy!"

"Another enemy?" Zhao Yu widened his eyes, "Who?"

"You forgot," Xu Zun said, "Kong Zhen told us that the assassination 18 years ago was planned by her father?"

"This..." Zhao Yu was even more confused, unable to keep up with Xu Zun's rhythm at all, "Why did it suddenly get so far?"

"The old king planned an assassination case and wanted to assassinate Emperor Daxuan and the Empress," Xu Zun continued, "The reason he did this was because Daxuan had the power in his hands at the time, and he wanted to cause the princes of all walks of life to fight against each other. , and then take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and seek a great cause!"

"Yes, Kong Zhen did say that," Zhao Yu asked hastily, "But what does it have to do with whether we go back to Qizhou or not?"

"Since the old king can enter the palace to assassinate," Xu Zun said, "how can he do it without internal support?"

"Internal response?" Zhao Yu still didn't understand, what does this have to do with Qizhou?
"If my guess is correct," Xu Zun said, "the old king must have reached an agreement with one or several princes.

"My lord helps the assassins enter the palace, and then everyone gets what they need."

"My lord... tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu still couldn't figure out what he meant, instead he stopped worrying and put on a look of listening attentively.

"Of course, the assassination ended in failure, but the princes who cooperated have not been exposed." Xu Zun said, "Old Zhao, remember, who did we meet the night we were attacked by pirates in Qizhou?"

"Who?" Zhao Yu had already given up thinking about it, Xu Zun asked this, his brain took off instantly, and he replied casually: "Isn't it the fake swindler Wang Shuncai? Oh? Oh... oh..."

Finally, Zhao Yu realized something, and his eyes lit up.

"Wang Shuncai is the superior of the fake Qiu Yongnian," Xu Zun said, "that is, Kong Zhen's subordinate. Since he is Kong Zhen's subordinate, why did he appear in Qizhou?"

"what do you mean……"

"During the Heavenly Tribulation, the princes from all walks of life suffered heavy losses and were assassinated by Xuanmen." Xu Zun said, "Including two respected old princes, King Yu of Qingzhou and King Jin of Qizhou. If I remember correctly, is the Prince Jin's mansion Right in Yongming County?"

"Oh..." Zhao Yu felt goosebumps all over his body, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with King Jin?"
