Yuan Xiu nodded and said, "That makes sense. He's a lecherous scoundrel! A spoiled brat whose mind is full of women, his heart is filled with those filthy things, how could he possibly have any strategic thinking?!"

When Yuan Xiu and Chen Changyun stopped mentioning the Right Chancellor and started talking about Zhao Cheng, Wen Tai, Mu Shanyue, and Xu Shouli all fell silent.

After discussing for a while, Yuan Xiu grew tired. He reached behind Wei You and twirled his hand, saying, "What I said today should not be spread, lest it affect the harmony between the emperor and his ministers. When Xiao Luofeng comes to court to receive his title, I will inquire about the details of his mausoleum..."

"Chen Changshi".

"Your subject is here!"

"You continue to have people keep an eye on things in Yanchuan. Once the Right Chancellor and his son return, they must immediately investigate the situation and report back."

"yes!"

...

The sky gradually turned gray. Zhao Cheng and Xiao Luomu sat in the courtyard of the Zhongya Office, soon to be drinking until dawn.

The courtyard was shaded by trees, cold and damp, and behind it were the prison cells of the Central Government Office. If you listened carefully, you could hear screams coming from inside.

Chen Hai's matter greatly affected Xiao Luomu. When Zhao Cheng and Xiao Luofeng initially suspected Chen Hai, Xiao Luomu resolutely refused to believe it.

The slap in the face came too quickly.

Of course, Xiao Luomu wasn't upset because of his pride, but because he genuinely had feelings for Chen Hai.

Zhao Cheng stayed with Xiao Luomu while he was still drunk, all in order to get Chen Hai's confession as soon as possible.

The fact that Southern Zhou sent Yang Qingzhi to carry out such a large-scale operation this time indicates that their spy network is extraordinary. Zhao Cheng didn't care about the situation in Qingdong City and Hannan City; he only wanted to know if any new Southern Zhou spies had infiltrated Yanchuan City.

"It's fake...why could it be fake...?"

Seeing Xiao Luomu's sad expression, Zhao Cheng said, "Everyone has emotions. You have them, and so does Chen Hai. His identity is fake, but his feelings for you might be real."

Zhao Cheng patted Xiao Luomu on the shoulder and comforted him, "That's his fate, his mission, and his destiny."

Xiao Luomu sighed and tilted his head back to drink.

Xiao Luofeng walked over.

Zhao Cheng asked, "How did it go?"

Xiao Luofeng shook his head and said, "I've worked with him for several years and always thought he was just a weak scholar. I never expected him to be so tough!"

"Work is work, put your feelings aside."

Zhao Cheng said this to Xiao Luomu, and after speaking, he looked at Xiao Luofeng with a cold expression.

"It's almost dawn, let my sister go."
