Chu Chuyan's face paled: "What do you mean?"

Zuan sighed, "My wife is too smart. It will be inconvenient for her husband to go out and have affairs in the future."

Chu Chuyan: "..."

Chu Chuyan's anger level increased by 233!

“Just kidding, hahaha,” Zuan hurriedly changed the subject guiltily. “I still don’t understand. Even if the Red Robe Army comes to intimidate us, Liu Yao can still find things if he keeps investigating. After all, the Salt Transport Commission’s deficit still exists.”

"It's alright, as long as we can buy some time," Chu Chuyan replied.

"Delay time?" Zuan was taken aback.

Chu Chuyan smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough."

After hanging up the video camera, Zu An was still full of doubts, but he knew that Chu Chuyan would never speak without reason, so he put his questions aside and went to the Chu family to find Madam Chu first.

Upon arriving near the Chu family residence, he discovered that the area was already under martial law by the Imperial Guards, but this did not deter him.

Firstly, he was very familiar with the Chu family's terrain, and secondly, with his current fifth-grade cultivation and the "Mirror of Truth" skill, breaking through the defenses of these ordinary imperial guards was not a difficult task.

As long as I'm not unlucky enough to run into that ninth-rank General Wei, it'll be fine.

He crept stealthily through the courtyard until he reached the vicinity of the pavilion in the back garden, the very spot where Qiao Xueying had kicked him into the water and then pulled him down as well.

Thinking of Qiao Xueying, he was momentarily distracted and only then noticed that two people were chatting in the pavilion in the distance.

Just then, someone in the pavilion looked up and their eyes met from afar.

Both of them froze, and then the other shouted, "Zu'an, that's Zu'an!"

"Damn Hong Xingying!" Zu An cursed under his breath and ran away.

At that moment, a figure shot out from the pavilion, its speed many times faster than his.

The only person with such speed who is now an enemy of the entire Chu family must be that ninth-rank General Wei.

Zuan wanted to slap himself. After watching so many movies in his past life, did he still not understand the consequences of setting a flag?

He wished he had more legs to run away, but it was too late. The other person was so fast that they were behind him in the blink of an eye.

Liu Yao was just worried about not being able to catch Zu An and Miss Chu Er, so how could he let them go when he saw them? He reached out and grabbed, and a huge hand in the air came from all directions to grab Zu An.
