Zou Yangyao didn't hesitate or think twice before nodding: "Okay."

As the night deepened, the streets were silent, but a door that had been tightly closed was opened, and a heavy tone echoed in the street. The person inside was helped out drunk.

Shao Lecheng was a little shaky, and said to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, who was drunk but still remembered the whisk in his hand, "Why don't you stay at your house? It's late at night, so it's okay to go back tomorrow!"

But the Imperial Observatory did not want to stay. After Shao Lecheng's persuasion failed, he sent more people to escort the Imperial Observatory back.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory staggered onto the carriage, fell into it and fell asleep.

After the carriage stopped, someone opened the door and carried him down. He had fallen asleep, but gradually woke up and found himself being dragged. He struggled strangely, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Who is this?"

His vision turned from black to white, and he was thrown into a candle-lit room outside the courtyard. He was not fully awake at the time, and his vision was unclear, so he could not tell where he was.

While he was still wondering where the room was, someone threw three copper coins on the ground and said, "Calculate where you are now and who has kidnapped you!"

The person who spoke then sat down!

The man was dressed in night clothes and his face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of extremely sharp eyes. Looking at the coldness and momentum that filled his body, he knew that even if the door was wide open, he could not escape.

The original drunkenness disappeared at this moment. He swallowed and trembled nervously: "Hey, this hero, how much money do you want? I will give it to you, I will definitely give it all!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the other man's legs, but was kicked away by the man in black. His voice became unhappy: "I told you to calculate your current position!"

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory shuddered with fear and quickly distanced itself, then picked up the copper coin on the ground, its hands shaking.

Asking him to calculate the direction? Why does this sound so familiar?

He raised his head and looked at the other person tremblingly. The other person only had a pair of eyes, so it was really difficult to recognize who he was.

"Forget it!" The man in black impatiently stuck his sword into the ground, as if if the Imperial Observatory dared to procrastinate again, he would definitely kill him with a sword!

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory's hands were shaking. After the copper coin fell to the ground, he reached out and touched it. In fact, he was just trying to predict good or bad luck for himself.

He raised his head and looked at the other person fearfully: "I, this, I..."

The man in black raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at the man's neck: "Tell me, which direction are you going?"

"Hey, hero, please spare my life, spare my life!" He began to kowtow hard, terrified to the extreme.

The man in black snorted, "Tell me your exact location, and I won't kill you, and you don't need to beg for mercy!"

The Imperial Astronomical Observer's face turned pale with fear. He swallowed hard, cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He really didn't dare to say anything and couldn't calculate it, because he had predicted that he was a great evil...

"I, is this the southwest?" He asked tentatively. If he said directly that he didn't know, he would definitely die. But if he guessed right, it meant he still had a chance!

But the other party scoffed lightly: "Why, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, its capabilities are greatly reduced after nightfall? During the day, it can determine other people's positions, but after dark, it can't even calculate its own position?"

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory looked up and stared at the other person blankly, "You, who are you?"

The other party sneered and took off the veil on his face. The Imperial Observatory stared in surprise.

"You, why are you doing this? When have I ever had a quarrel with your General's Mansion?"

Just as he finished speaking, a figure walked slowly towards him outside the house, which made the Imperial Observatory's eyes widen.

"This..." He was a little stunned.

Shao Lecheng sighed, "If General Zou hadn't captured you, how could I have heard such a truth after sobering up?"

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory asked in surprise, "Is this the Prince's Palace?"

"What else?" Zou Yangyao asked back.

The sword was placed on his neck again. "You can't even calculate your own location, so how did you figure out Princess Gou Qiong's location? Someone bribed you to work with them? Tell me, who are they?"

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said nothing.

Zou Yangyao thrust his sword forward a little, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory felt the pain. His pupils shrank, and he quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't hurt me, General Zou!"

"Then tell the truth!" Zou Yangyao was obviously impatient.

"That group of people gave me benefits, and I was tempted..."

Shao Lecheng asked impatiently: "Who are those people?"

"I don't know his identity, but the things he gave me are so, so tempting..."

Zou Yangyao and Shao Lecheng looked at each other and heard a voice coming from not far away: "Is that the person?"

The figure in the Imperial Observatory was startled and looked outside. In the darkness, there was a woman dressed in men's clothes, but behind her were two servants dragging a man who was tied up.

That person was Yi Wenxuan after he tore off his human skin mask.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly shifted his gaze, trembling with fear.

There was no response, so Ni Yueshan was not anxious. He said slowly, "He has enough financial resources to eliminate the Prime Minister's Mansion and create an irreconcilable conflict between the Prince's Mansion and the Regent's Mansion. This person is rich and scheming!"

Ni Yueshan sat down on the side, looked at the top of the Imperial Observatory, and sneered: "Taking money from others and doing so many unjust things is really asking for death."

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory was shaking violently, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Princess Regent, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. The person who gave me the things was introduced to me by a brothel girl. I really don't know his identity, and he only asked me to tell fortunes, so it's nothing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yi Wenxuan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I don't know this guy either. I really didn't know he would cause such a big mess!"

Seeing Ni Yueshan pondering, Zou Yangyao quickly warned, "Yueshan, don't listen to his nonsense. This man might be Tufan's man, but he's just trying to defend himself to save his life!"

Ni Yueshan felt that Zou Yangyao's analysis made sense.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory's face turned pale instantly, and he begged for mercy in increasing fear: "I really don't know the other party's identity!"

Ni Yueshan frowned and looked at Yi Wenxuan again. "It's meaningless to keep refusing to reveal who's behind you. You're Tufan's man, who else could be behind you?"

Afterwards, Ni Yueshan stood up. "It seems Tufan wasn't content with not receiving tribute, so he's just keeping things quiet. He wants you to stir up trouble in the capital. By then, Xianchang will have internal troubles and start a war. Is he planning to swallow Xianchang up?"
