Chapter 45 Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 15

Knowing that there was a Wufeng assassin, Gong Yuanzheng selected Si Xue from the Horn Palace and sent her to the Women's Courtyard.

"I see." Song Xinning nodded. No wonder she always brought her food and showed her the way.

"Divine Feather Flower?!" Jin Fan's eyes sharpened when he saw the words on the medicine bag.

The Divine Feather Flower is the core herb of the Hundred Herbs Extract. According to Miss Song's words, the wrong herb was the Divine Feather Flower.

The reason why the old swordsman and the young master were poisoned was because there was a problem with the herbal extract.

"What's wrong with Shen Linghua?" As soon as Gong Yuanzheng entered the clinic, he saw five people gathered together.

Si Xue went up to her and recounted what had happened.

Gong Yuanzheng took a Divine Feather Flower from the medicine bag in Si Xue's hand and looked at it.

“Spirit Grass.” Gong Yuanzheng crushed the Spirit Grass, his face grim.

Unexpectedly, it was his own trouble with the Conquest Palace that led to the deaths of Lao Zhiren and Gong Huanyu.

"Young Master Zheng, since the Divine Feather Grass has been replaced with the Spirit Grass, is the Hundred Herbs Extract still useful?" Jin Fan bowed and asked.

"No." Gong Yuanzheng closed his eyes to calm his anger. "I will interrogate Steward Jia about this matter and give Yu Gong an explanation."

"Yes." Jin Fan and Gong Zishang left the clinic.

Gong Yuanzheng did not ask Song Xinning why she had come early. After taking her pulse and giving the medicine to the servant, he left the clinic.

Si Xue also found Song Xinning's lost purse in the medicine room.

With Song Xinning's secret assistance, the interrogation revealed that Gong Huanyu had instructed Steward Jia to replace the Divine Feather Flower.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng deduced that Gong Huanyu had faked his death and also guessed that he had accomplices.

Together with the three elders, they captured Gong Huanyu and Lady Wuji.

Finally, at Gong Ziyu's pleading, the two were stripped of their martial arts and imprisoned in the Yu Palace.

The Hall of Blades—

"This is the information about Shangguan Qian that I had someone investigate. On its own, there is nothing wrong with it. As for Zheng Nanyi, I received news that the Zheng family was wiped out by Wu Feng, and the Zheng mansion was also burned down."

Gong Shangjiao handed the message from the palace gate stronghold to Gong Yuanzheng.

After reading the letter, Gong Yuanzheng said in a deep voice, "On its own, it does not seem to matter, but Dafu City and the Hunyuan Zheng family are far apart, so it is impossible for Shangguan Qian and Zheng Nanyi to know each other."

Song Xinning said that the two of them were too familiar with each other, as if they were old acquaintances. Zheng Nanyi has recently been in contact with Gong Ziyu, and Shangguan Qian is also paying close attention to your news, brother.

Gong Shangjiao poured himself a cup of tea and said, "I received a message from Song San and Song Changyi. The message described five assassins lurking in the Old Dust Valley, and Shangguan Qian and Zheng Nanyi's names were among them."

Gong Yuanzheng asked in confusion, "Five?"

Yun Weishan died after being exposed, Mingwu Ji revealed her identity before leaving the palace, and who is the other one?

"The Southern Demon Situ Hong, also known as Zi Yi of Wan Hua Lou." Gong Shangjiao finished his tea in one gulp and looked at Gong Yuanzheng's incredulous expression.

Yes, that's how he felt when he first saw the letter.

"Gong Ziyu is really lucky to be alive." This was Gong Yuanzheng's first reaction.

How could his life be anything but? He was cared for by the Enchanting-level assassin Mingwu Ji since childhood, and the Wraith-level assassin Ziyi who had been taking care of his business for the past few years.

Now that Zheng Nanyi, another assassin without a blade, is around, what kind of special physique does Gong Ziyu possess that attracts assassins without blades?

Having never left the Old Dust Valley since childhood, how could she have so many assassins around her? Enchanting is one thing, but there's even a Wraith!

Gong Yuanzheng sighed and said, "Should we arrest them?"

"Don't rush, they're still useful, very useful..."

Gong Shangjiao smiled, his eyes like dark pools, radiating a chilling coldness.
