Zu An was filled with the melancholy of parting, and had many things he wanted to say to Qiao Xueying, and at least thought of seeing her off.
But when the news of the gold medal came, his expression changed.
Because what emanates from the gold medal is Zhu Xie Chixin's divine thought!
Besides serving as identification, the waist tag of the Embroidered-Robe Envoy also had a communication function, somewhat like the pagers worn by traffic police in the previous life, allowing them to receive direct instructions from superiors.
Of course, this function is usually not used, and when it is used, it is usually for extremely urgent matters.
Moreover, you cannot disobey the message after receiving it. If you have any intention of slacking off and do not rush to the scene, the magic array on the gold medal will record all the information, such as the distance from the scene of the incident. Afterwards, the Embroidered Robe Envoys will use this information to reward merits or... hold people accountable.
These were common-sense facts that Zhu Xie Chixin had taught him when he first became an Embroidered Robe Envoy. The only thing Zu An was thankful for was that the gold medal, apart from recording a few pieces of information such as distance, did not have the function of a surveillance camera, otherwise everything he did would have been exposed.
This is actually normal. Every Embroidered Robe Envoy is an outstanding member of their generation. The more capable a person is, the more arrogant they tend to be. If you put a surveillance camera on them and record their every move, who could stand it?
Retaining the notification function and recording some basic information for rewards and punishments is now the best balance between the two parties.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Xueying noticed his unusual behavior and asked curiously.
Zuan explained what had happened, while secretly wondering what was going on. First, a bunch of assassins came out of the Empress's palace, and now there were assassins in the Crown Prince's palace.
Have the palace guards all skipped work?
And isn't the emperor the strongest in the world? It's said that his divine sense covers the entire palace. With such a big event happening, why haven't we heard any movement from him?
Qiao Xueying exclaimed, "I haven't heard that Youyinglou has any other plans. Besides, this attack on the Empress's palace was already an all-out effort. I doubt Youyinglou has the resources to attack the East Palace at the same time."
After hearing her information, Zuan had a sudden thought: "That's most likely another force."
He still had doubts. The coordination between these two forces was too coincidental. Just now, all the palace guards were rushing towards Kunning Palace and began to pursue the assassins of Youying Tower. At this time, the East Palace encountered a problem. It would probably take some time for those guards to get back. No wonder Zhu Xie Chixin notified all the nearby Embroidered-Robed Envoys to go to the rescue.
Wait, why didn't we see Zhu Xie Chixin from beginning to end?
Unfortunately, this badge is more like a one-way task publisher and doesn't have any communication or interaction functions.
Qiao Xueying then said, "Azu, you should go back quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are punished later."
Zuan hesitated for a moment: "But then I can't give it to you."
Qiao Xueying smiled and said, "You accompanied me for such a long way in the palace just to see me off. I'm really happy."
Zuan embraced the girl again, feeling her slender and beautiful body: "Xue'er, I will definitely find a chance to come to the Elven race to see you."
Qiao Xueying's eyes curved like crescent moons, and her voice was sickeningly sweet: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After parting ways with Qiao Xueying, Zu An put his mask back on and entered the palace gates, heading towards the East Palace.
He was full of frustration and resentment. He had already made up his mind, which caused Xue'er and me to separate early. I'll just be a bystander in the end.
The power capable of assassinating the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace is absolutely terrifying, and the person who did it must be a master. He has no interest in risking his life to protect a fool he has only met twice.
I failed miserably trying to make a quick buck at Kunning Palace just now, so I must learn from this experience this time.
However, he didn't waste any time on the way. This information would be recorded on the waist tag, and if he walked slowly, it would be too obvious.
When he arrived at the East Palace, he found that the entire palace had been turned upside down in a killing spree.
The ground was littered with the corpses of guards and black-clad assassins; it was a scene of utter carnage.
The Eastern Palace's defenses were clearly on the verge of collapse, with only a middle-aged man and a few guards struggling to hold on.
Judging from the official robes, he should be Cao Hou, the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince and an eighth-rank expert.
The King of Qi was the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, but given his status, it was clearly impossible for him to stay by the Crown Prince's side as his teacher for an extended period.
Therefore, the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor should be the Crown Prince's true teacher.
Zu'an was summoned to Kunning Palace by the Empress, so he didn't have a chance to meet him formally.
Perhaps it was because he had been the Crown Prince's tutor for so long that he had an inexplicable air of authority, and his actions were always upright and righteous. He single-handedly stopped several of the top assassins on the other side.
As expected of an eighth-rank expert, Zu An was full of praise.
Unfortunately, being outnumbered, he could only manage a weak defense despite his imposing presence.
Zuan looked away and then saw that even the Crown Princess was fighting with a sword.
The Crown Princess was already very beautiful, and with her tall figure, her skirts fluttered and her waist moved nimbly as she fought, making her look like a fairy from a painting.
Zuan couldn't help but secretly comment that she was only slightly inferior to his first wife.
She protected the crown prince behind her, while the fat man huddled in a corner, trembling. Although he had been cleansed and strengthened by the emperor with rare and precious herbs since childhood, making him much stronger than ordinary people, he had no courage to help his wife.
He flanked two eunuchs, Xiao Xu and Xiao He, one holding a stool and the other a broom, both trembling as they looked around.
