Liu Jinyu and Xiao Liuzi were pacing back and forth at the door.
It can be seen that both of them were very nervous. From time to time, they stretched their necks and poked their heads inside to observe Chen Xuan's movements.
Hearing Chen Xuan's shout, both of them were frightened and shuddered.
"What the hell are you two doing?"
Chen Xuan walked out and found that the expressions of the two men were very strange. Fear, worry, depression, and other complex emotions were all written on their faces.
There is something wrong with these two people!
Chen Xuan immediately stared at the two of them from head to toe.
Both of them felt a little scared by Chen Xuan's stare, and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
"You've done something wrong, you feel guilty, right?"
Chen Xuan sneered. This was the first time these two people acted like this since they followed him!
"Xiao Liuzi, you go ahead and tell me."
Liu Jinyu felt a little scalp-tingling, and he bumped Xiao Liuzi's shoulder with his arm to make him speak.
However, Xiao Liuzi had a bitter face and shook his head like a rattle: "Boss, you should speak first."
Seeing that Xiao Liuzi was actually disobedient, Liu Jinyu glared at him and asked, "Are you rebelling?"
Xiao Liuzi quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
"Liu Jinyu, you speak!"
Chen Xuan frowned and stared at Liu Jinyu.
Plop!
Liu Jinyu knelt on the ground almost without any pause.
Xiao Liuzi was quick to follow suit and knelt down.
"Master Chen, I am guilty!"
Liu Jinyu said with red eyes.
"Master Chen, I am guilty too."
Xiao Liuzi spoke quickly.
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows: "What crime have you two committed?"
Liu Jinyu smiled bitterly and said, "Master Chen, there is one thing we have been hiding from you. During this period of time, we have been suffering in our hearts and have wanted to tell you the truth countless times, but we have never found a chance. Now, we feel that we can no longer hide it from you and must tell you the truth now!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes flashed. Is he finally going to say it?
He always knew that there was something wrong with Liu Jinyu's defection.
It’s just that it didn’t matter before. In fact, as subordinates, Liu Jinyu and Xiao Liuzi did a great job.
Therefore, even if there were any problems between the two, Chen Xuan was too lazy to bother about it. Anyway, as long as the two behaved well under his nose, it would be fine.
A long time has passed, and Chen Xuan's focus is no longer on these two people. He almost forgot that there were problems when these two people first followed him.
Unexpectedly, now the two of them are going to confess on their own initiative.
"Master Chen, in fact, it was not our original intention to follow you out of Bandit Mountain. Someone ordered us to do so!"
Liu Jinyu gritted his teeth and spoke. Things had come to this point and there was nothing to hide. Telling the truth was the best option.
Otherwise, if Chen Xuan discovered it himself one day, the two of them would end up in a miserable state!
"continue."
Chen Xuan reminded lightly, he wanted to see how frankly Liu Jinyu could confess, would he tell everything without leaving a single thing out, or would he still hold back?
"Master Chen, we are actually the people of the Minister of Rites of the Imperial Court, Qin Zhenqin!"
"In fact, most of the bandits in the entire Bandit Mountain are lackeys kept by the imperial officials. This is why the imperial court has never been successful in suppressing the bandits, because we are the lackeys kept by the imperial officials. When the imperial army came, we got wind of it and ran away. When the imperial army left, we returned to our old nest. Just like this, we didn't suffer any losses at all."
"In fact, the Jinfeng Village that you destroyed was actually from the Sima family, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the imperial court."
"The reason why we came down from the mountain to follow you was not our own will, but the intention of the Minister of Rites, Lord Qin."
"Lord Qin is very interested in you. He asked us to follow you and keep an eye on your every move. If there is any news, send a pigeon to tell him immediately."
Liu Jinyu finally said out what he had been holding back in his heart.
"oh?"
Chen Xuan suddenly laughed.
He knew that the Sima family, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the imperial court, was interested in him, and that the Ping An Escort Agency was wiped out at the order of Sima Xi of the Sima family.
But he didn't expect that the Minister of Rites was also interested in him.
In Chen Xuan's impression, he and the Minister of Rites had no intersection at all.
"So, you two, are he the undercover agent planted beside me? Reporting my whereabouts to him anytime and anywhere?"
Chen Xuan asked calmly.
Hearing this, Liu Jinyu immediately shook his head frantically and quickly explained, "Before arriving at Barbarian City, we did report our whereabouts to him, but after arriving at Barbarian City, we were overwhelmed by your charm, Master Chen, and never reported our whereabouts again!"
As he spoke, Liu Jinyu quickly rummaged through his pockets and pulled out several small bamboo tubes. He presented them to them with both hands and said:
"Master Chen, this is a letter from Lord Qin in the capital. He wants to know about your situation at the border, but we haven't replied yet."
Chen Xuan took the bamboo tube, opened it, took out the note inside and looked at it.
The handwriting on several letters was all from the same person, with a graceful and elegant demeanor!
Just from the handwriting, you can tell that this person holds a high position, and the words he writes carry a sense of majesty.
The contents of the letters were basically the same, all asking about Chen Xuan's recent situation and whether there were any special changes.
The last letter was to question Liu Jinyu, asking why he had not replied recently?
It seems that Liu Jinyu did not lie. After he arrived in Mancheng, he did not reply to the capital. This guy wanted to completely cut off his relationship with the Minister of Rites and follow Chen Xuan wholeheartedly.
In fact, during this period of time, he has been thinking about how to explain this matter to Chen Xuan, but he didn't know where to start, so he kept dragging it on.
As a result, after dragging on, Chen Xuan has already reached the realm of King Martial!
This made Liu Jinyu feel a sense of urgency. He thought that if he delayed any longer, would Chen Xuan rush back to the capital?
If Lord Qin exposes himself at that time, Liu Jinyu will never be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
Even if Chen Xuan didn't kill him, he was an undercover agent and he couldn't escape.
Will Chen Xuan still use him in the future?
Impossible!
Therefore, Liu Jinyu, feeling a sense of urgency, decided not to delay any longer and pulled Xiao Liuzi to confess.
"Master Chen, this is what we want to say. Now we have said everything we need to say. If you want to kill me or chop me up, we will accept it!"
Liu Jinyu was firm in his attitude and lowered his head!
Xiao Liuzi quickly replied, "Me too!"
