The strongest fire master

Chapter 36 The Time Is Right
Kahn didn't expect that the second action would come so quickly after the first attempt to find clues about Er Shu's disappearance failed.

"Mother's room has obviously been tidied up. If those things were not thrown away by the emperor, then he must have kept them somewhere."

Azura was sure, judging by Ao Zai's character, he would definitely keep some of the key information.

"Would you be too anxious, after all, it hasn't been long since the last action."

Kahn was worried that acting like this might attract Ao Zai's attention, after all, he moved too frequently.

Azura, however, played it easy:

"Don't worry, this is just a normal expedition, I will ask Shangmei and Teri to participate together."

Kahn frowned and said:
"There's no need to involve them, it's too dangerous."

"Ha! What are you thinking?"

Azura laughed, spread his hands and said:
"Relax, it's really just a 'normal' expedition."

Mei and Teri, as her playmates who grew up with her, are definitely not good boys like Zuko.

In fact, the two of them have been exploring the palace with her since they were young, and even sneaked into the meeting hall. For the situation of the whole palace, the two of them definitely know much better than Zuko, the orthodox prince.

"...Spicy, you guys are really awesome."

Kahn bowed again, how could there be such a powerful person in this world, so strong that he had nothing to say.

So the plan of action this time was simple, they had a normal expedition, and in the process, he and Azura checked 'by the way' for anything suspicious.

But that being the case, Kahn also had some ideas and asked:

"What about Zuko, don't you call him?"

After chatting with Zuko last time, he was thinking about how to recruit Zuko into the gang, and now seems to be a good time, plus Zuko also wants to find Ershu, with the same purpose, the success rate should be very high.

"Call him? You can if you can, but he's a good baby and never does such dangerous activities with us."

Azura shrugged indifferently, and mocked Zuko casually by the way.

Not only did Zuko not explore with them, he often even sued her, which was also one of the sources of their conflicts.

Of course, it's much better now.

Now he never reported her going over the wall and leaving the palace to find Kahn, so their relationship has eased a lot recently, but they still don't like each other very well.

Hearing what Azura said, Kahn finally turned his back on him and said:
"Say, do you want to tell Zuko our plan?"

"Huh? Are you crazy!?"

But Azura's reaction was more resistant than he expected, she couldn't believe it.

"Aren't you awake yet? Or is your brain broken? Are you trying to ruin our plan? Or do you mean you don't want to go on, so you want to do it on purpose? Don't you have any dissatisfaction with me?"

"stop!"

Kahn was a little confused by Azura's series of questions like cannonballs. After a while, he said speechlessly:

"Is it that exaggerated? Is Zuko really disgusting you so much?"

"Oh, what do you think?"

Azura smiled contemptuously:
"Not good at skills, not good at brain, not even good at acting. It would be nice if that guy didn't hold us back. However, if he is willing to obey my orders unconditionally, I can think about it a little bit."

"Forehead"

It was difficult for Kahn to refute for a while, after all, it was Azura who spoke, and there was indeed a gap between Zuko and her in all aspects.

Ah this
But now that he has made up his mind, he will not give up easily, so he tries to save Zu Kou from another angle:
"In terms of ability, he is indeed not as good as you, but he is definitely not bad. You should also know it. In fact, it is a lot of help for us to bring him into the group. At least we don't need to consider avoiding it in future actions." Let him go, and the time will be more flexible."

"Besides, Zuko actually has the same idea as you."

Kahn also told about the conversation with Zuko that day and his worries. After hearing this, Azura crossed his arms and sneered and said:

"Having said so much, you are actually just worried about his safety, and then plan to take care of him like a baby?"

Kahn corrected:
"It's the help of friends. If you are in danger, I will help you in the same way."

Azula froze for a moment, her attitude softened slightly, but she still refused to relax:
"Whatever you say, anyway, I don't agree, I don't trust him."

Kahn really had no choice now, he didn't expect Azura's attitude to be so tough.

It seems that I can only find a way from Ai Luo.

"Ok."

Kahn had no choice but to accept it, and just sighed:

"Is your prejudice against him too deep? People will grow up. Isn't it like Zuko has never sued you now? What's more, you are still brothers and sisters."

Hearing what Kahn said, Azura was startled suddenly. It was indeed what Kahn said. Looking back carefully, it seems that Zuko is not as annoying as before.

brothers and sisters
For some reason, Azula suddenly thought of Er Shu, when her mother was still there, she always hoped that their siblings could get along well.
So, when Kahn had given up, Azura suddenly changed his words:
"However, if you really want him to join, it's not impossible."

"Eh?"

Azura's sudden change made Kahn unable to react for a while, and then he cheered up and said happily:
"really?"

Seeing Kahn's appearance, Azura couldn't help showing a smile, and suddenly felt that this seemed pretty good.

"Well, as long as he can do what I ask."

"Of course it's okay, just mention it and let me talk to him!"

Kahn patted his chest and promised solemnly.
-
"You and Azura have been secretly looking for clues to the disappearance of the queen mother!?"

After Kahn told Zuko the truth, Zuko's eyes widened in shock, feeling unbelievable for a while, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"I know it's surprising, but there are various reasons for it."

Kahn expressed emotion. After all, he was "threatened" to join the gang at the beginning, but there is no need to explain this to Zuko.

Zu Kou came back to his senses and said with a complicated expression:

"It's really surprising. What I didn't expect was that Azura cared so much about her mother."

"Indeed, but don't say this in front of her."

That tsundere Azura can't listen to such words.

Zuko was also very clear about this: "I know."

"So you want to join? Even at the risk of disobeying your father's orders. If you don't want to, just pretend you didn't hear these words."

Kahn stared at him and asked.

The etiquette taught by his mother since he was a child, the fear of Ao Zai, and the longing for his mother's whereabouts were entangled in his mind, which made him entangled, but in the end Zuko calmed down and gritted his teeth:
".I join!"

"very good!"

Kahn laughed and patted Zuko on the shoulder in relief.

But soon, there was a bit of mischievousness in his smile, which reminded Zuko of Azura inexplicably.

"Before joining us, you have to complete a few requirements"

Hearing this, Zuko trembled inexplicably.
