I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Faced with the question, Zhang Lai was stunned at first, but his brain worked rapidly and he soon came up with a reasonable excuse.

"I am very loyal to the prince, but that was before. After some things happened, I have become the prince's uncle. I am now helping him to find out some information and will pass it on."

Zhang Lai was not stupid. He knew very well what it meant that Wang Hu appeared at the king's uncle's place and was arranged in a separate courtyard.

He could only answer in this way so as not to arouse suspicion and be thought that what he said made sense.

As he expected, after hearing it, Wang Hu just nodded without too much doubt.

"So that's how it is. It seems that our choice is the same. I didn't expect the prince to stab me in the back. We are loyal to him, and he treats us like this, so why should I work hard for him?"

"Now I have entered the realm of land immortals, and I am still climbing up the Internet. I believe that it won't be long before I will be promoted again."

"It's getting late, you should go back first. If the prince's people see you here, you will definitely not end up well!"

Zhang Lai nodded, said a few simple words, and left.

After he left, he did not report the situation to the prince immediately that night.

He was not stupid. He understood that if he went back so late, the prince's uncle might arrange people to follow him. If he really did that, he would be attacked from all sides.

The next day, morning.

When Zhang came over, the prince ignored him and just talked to his entourage, deliberately ignoring him.

Understanding the prince's intention, Zhang Lai did not react at all. He just stood quietly by the side, as if he did not mind.

Seeing that he had no reaction, the prince felt a little bored and spoke slowly.

"Have you completed your mission?"

Zhang Lai nodded, then glanced at the others with a hesitant expression.

The matter was of great importance and he had no way of saying it directly. If he was not careful, it would affect his life.

After seeing his reaction, the prince understood what he was hesitant to say, so he spoke.

"You guys go out first."

After everyone had left, Zhang Lai took two steps forward and slowly spoke.

"Your Highness, I went to the prince's place last night and sneaked into a separate courtyard. I did see Wang Hu, but his attitude towards Your Highness was full of resentment. I don't know what happened."

Hearing this, the prince frowned, not surprised.

"If he is not dead, but he did not come back and appeared at my uncle's place, he must have been bewitched!"

Zhang Lai nodded in response and continued.

"That's right. From his few words, I can tell that it was definitely something that the uncle said that caused him to misunderstand. Not only that, he has now become a land immortal."

This surprised the prince. He did not expect Wang Hu to be promoted so quickly.

He used to be the grandmaster by his side, but now with the king's uncle, he has lost the most advantageous protection.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly asked.

"I remember that you had a good relationship with Wang Hu before. Go and persuade him to come back. As long as you succeed, I promise that I will not care about what happened before, but will reward you instead."

Faced with such temptation, Zhang Lai did not react much and acted very calmly.

After all, this is not an easy task. Instead, he will encounter obstacles and even expose his true purpose. In that case, the king's uncle will definitely not let him go. Thinking of this, Zhang Lai looked embarrassed.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. The prince is a cautious man. He might expose my purpose and make him suspicious of me. Then not only will Wang Hu fail to persuade me to come back, but I might also be exposed. What should I do?"

Hearing this, the prince didn't care and said it lightly.

"As for how to do it, that's up to you. You're a smart person, I believe you should have a good idea. I'm very optimistic about you!"

After saying this, the prince ignored it and let Zhang Lai think for himself.

Zhang Lai understood that he was making things difficult for himself, but there was nothing he could do.

Now, there is only one choice left for me, which is to accept it. Otherwise, my life will be in danger.

He just needed to think carefully about how to do it.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan had been in seclusion for a few days, but he had not come out yet, and the ladies were a little worried.

"My husband has been in seclusion for such a long time, something is not right, could there be any problem? If not, shall we go in and take a look?"

Lin'er looked worried, her eyes full of anxiety and concern.

Understanding her concerns, Shen Shiyu comforted her.

"Don't worry. We all know your husband's abilities. There won't be any unexpected situations. Since he hasn't come out of seclusion yet, he might have other plans."

"It's more likely that he had already left the customs a long time ago, but he left in a hurry and didn't say hello to us. It's also possible."

Lu Yuan came and went without a trace, and he came and went freely, so they couldn't detect him.

After she said this, Xiao Xuewei nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed possible, but we should not continue to dwell on it. We should hurry up and practice. Now that we have all become immortals on land, we should hurry up and practice. If there is anything in the future, we will be able to help our husband."

While they were discussing, a voice disappeared into the mountains behind them.

This person is not someone else, but Baidi.

He has successfully obtained the eight divine artifacts, and now he can't wait to absorb the supreme power from them.

In order to prevent others from discovering any clues, he had to return to Baidi City first. Only in this way could he feel completely at ease.

After Baidi returned, his close associates came over.

"Baidi, you're back!"

He nodded and looked at Hei Yu standing below.

"I have now obtained the eight divine weapons, and the entire Shenzhou Continent will soon be mine. Just like before, you will still be in charge of Baidi City. I need peace and quiet, and I don't want anyone to disturb me!"

Hearing this, Hei Yu immediately nodded in agreement.

"My subordinates know!"

After everyone left, Baidi took out the eight sacred artifacts.

Under his spell, the artifact floated up, forming a circle around him and constantly rotating.

He could feel that he was being enveloped by a huge force, constantly absorbing the power inside to strengthen his own cultivation. This feeling was wonderful! (End of this chapter)
