Zuan realized that the other party was testing him. If he didn't answer well, he would at least lose his future influence in the camp, or at worst be abandoned and killed on the spot.

Fortunately, he had been thinking about this matter and immediately replied, "It's easy to kill him, but we must make his death reasonable to avoid his subordinates noticing anything amiss and triggering a firefight and a counterattack."

The Conqueror King's eyes lit up immediately: "That's exactly what I was thinking! Do you have any ideas?"

“I see that Wulu Zhixian is extremely obese and his face is as red as blood. Did something go wrong during his training?” Zuan asked.

The Conqueror King was secretly surprised: "Indeed, the cultivation technique he practiced in his early years was extremely domineering, which would cause his blood and qi to become excessively abundant. In addition, after years of fighting, he killed and absorbed the power of countless strong people. In the early years, there was nothing wrong with him, but after absorbing the power of Augustus of the Templar Knights last time, it seems to have triggered a long-term hidden danger in his body."

“He has had several nosebleeds these days, and each time he has to use a bowl to catch dozens of them. It’s only because he is strong that he has such strength. Anyone else would have died long ago.”

He had investigated for many years before finding this information, and he had originally intended to keep it as a trump card, but he didn't expect the other party to see through it so quickly.

“Then we can start from this point. Have your men do some publicity on this, in a subtle and pervasive way, so that even if he dies suddenly, others will feel it’s only natural,” Zuan said.

The Conqueror King nodded slightly: "That's easy to handle. The key is how to kill him suddenly. I can indeed set up an ambush for him, and I'm more than 50% confident. But given his strength, it's impossible for him to do it silently. The commotion he makes will inevitably alert others."

Zuan pondered for a moment: "Does she really love the current Empress Hailanzhu?"

“Indeed, it’s strange, given his status, that he would fall in love with a woman from the indigenous world.” The Conqueror King looked puzzled. “His affection for Hailanzhu is indeed beyond the normal range. You see, he would send Dayuer to force you to surrender, but he would never let Hailanzhu come to you.”

Zhao Xiaodie's expression was extremely strange. She actually knew the Little Demon Queen's true identity, but she had always planned to keep it a secret and had not revealed it to anyone.

Looking back now, it's really bizarre. Back in the cultivation world, I heard that the Little Demon Queen was an extremely seductive woman who had bewitched the Old Demon Emperor.

Later, he bewitched Regent Zuan, and now he's even bewitched the Envoy of Annihilation like a complete idiot.

Is she really a strong person's detector? Should I find a chance to learn from her?

"It seems the key to breaking the deadlock lies with Hailanzhu."

"But Hailanzhu and Wuluzhixian love each other so much, how can we make a move?"

"I'll figure something out."

"No wonder Xiaodie said you're very skilled with women. I admire you!"

"..."

Several more months passed, and the Qing army was still unable to breach the Shanhaiguan Pass, which was guarded by the Second Elder.

The String of No Law finally remembered Zaun, who had surrendered, and summoned him to ask, "You were in the high-level decision-making circle of the Order faction before. Do you have any way to break the deadlock?"

“Hermes is in charge of the entire business empire of the Universal Chamber of Commerce. With his abilities, there is indeed no good way to defend it. However, he does have a weakness that can be exploited,” Zuan replied confidently.

"What weakness?" Wuluzhixian asked hastily.

"He is a devoted man, and that woman can be his weakness."

"It's common knowledge that Hermes fell in love with a woman in his early years, but no one knows who he loved, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find her in this special world." Wu Lu Zhi Xian frowned, feeling a deep connection with Hermes in this regard.

“I might have a way,” Zuan said slowly.

"What method?" Wu Lu Zhi Xian's eyes lit up.

“Judging from our previous contact with the Ming court, he has likely encountered a woman in this world who resembles his former lover. If I go to the capital and start with that woman, I should be able to find a breakthrough,” Zu’an replied.

"Go to the capital?" Wu Luzhi's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and said, "Now that the two sides are enemies, if you are discovered to be going to the capital with your identity, you probably won't survive. Why don't you just tell me who that woman is, and I will send someone else."

Zu An sighed inwardly. The other party still didn't believe him, worried that he had feigned surrender and would never return to the capital.

Wouldn't that mean he lost both his wife and his army by letting Dayuer force him to surrender?

"I'm not sure about that woman either. I need to go to the scene to confirm. If things aren't handled properly, we could easily alert her and we'll never have another chance." Zu An returned to the capital not only to find Chen Yuanyuan to confirm a certain doubt in his mind, but also to secretly meet with Isabella and Zheng Dan, lest they think he was really dead.

However, the more he said this, the more Wuluzhixian doubted his motives, and in the end he still did not agree.

As they were parting, Wu Lu Zhi Xian suddenly said, "I heard that Princess Xiao Die likes you very much. You really know how to please women."

Zuan responded with a few laughs, but a chill ran down his spine; the other party was giving him a warning.

Zhao Xiaodie is now Dorgon's daughter, and given how much contact she has with him, it's hard not to suspect her relationship with Dorgon.

He knew that once Wuluzhixian found evidence of his alliance with "Dorgon," he would probably kill him immediately.

We can't wait any longer...

That day, he secretly went to Dorgon's Prince Rui's residence and discussed the matter for a long time.

After nightfall, in the palace.

As usual, the string of no law came to Hailanzhu's palace.

Thinking of her soft, delicate figure, alluring demeanor, and understanding personality, he felt a burning desire in his heart.
