Chapter 239 The Jealous Princess
“Huh~”
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
He stared at Liu Shishi in front of him and said:
"It doesn't matter if you give me everything that Senior Sister just said."
"And you've got the wrong person."
"Brother Quan Fu, why are you so decisive..."
As Liu Shishi spoke, a look of sadness appeared on her face again:
"The expenditure required for cultivation is simply too great... the income is simply not enough to cover the expenses."
"When it rains, it pours..."
"The Xuanzhen Sidi Lotus was stolen. I bear primary responsibility for my failure to protect it..."
"Brother Quan Fu, how can I stand by and watch someone die without helping..."
As she spoke, she covered her face and cried...
As soon as these words were spoken.
Zeng Anmin's eyes froze instantly.
"The Xuanzhen Sidi Lotus was stolen?"
The Lotus of Earth is in the Xuanzhen Division?
In an instant, Zeng Anmin felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the back of his neck!
He stared at Liu Shishi in front of him:
"When was it lost?"
Liu Shishi hadn't expected Zeng Anmin to focus on the Earth Lotus...
"Some time ago..."
After thinking about it, she hesitated and said:
"It's not a secret that can't be told to anyone anyway..."
"It's okay to tell you."
"But I can't tell you this for nothing, right?"
Liu Shishi is naturally omnipresent.
She couldn't miss any opportunity to benefit from Zeng Anmin.
"I can tell you who the real owner behind the tomb is."
Zeng Anmin looked at Liu Shishi indifferently.
"make a deal!"
Liu Shishi's eyes lit up.
She coughed and said:
"Do you remember the first time I met Brother Quan Fu?"
"The day Zhu Wanjun died..."
There was a hint of sharpness in Zeng Anmin's voice.
"Just before that day."
Liu Shishi looked at Zeng Anmin innocently and said:
"I prefer to take on sect missions, you know."
"So, I'm responsible for protecting the spiritual herbs... punishing evil and promoting good, and so on. The tasks are quite diverse."
"That day, I happened to be out fighting evil, and the Xuanzhen Division's spiritual medicine garden was robbed."
"But fortunately, no important spiritual roots were lost."
"The Earth Lotus isn't a particularly rare item, and it's not very useful to us disciples of the Xuanzhen Division... The sect's punishment isn't that severe."
As Liu Shishi spoke, she looked towards Zeng Anmin and said:
"So... who is the person behind the Spirit Mine?"
There was a burning heat in her eyes.
"The eldest princess."
Zeng Anmin suppressed his thoughts and answered casually.
"Princess?" After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Liu Shishi's face flashed with a shrewd light:
"Thank you."
After she finished speaking, she flashed from Zeng Anmin's bed to the door.
"I'll buy you a drink next time!"
“Chiu!”
After saying that, Liu Shishi walked out...
Well……
Zeng Anmin looked at Liu Shishi's back.
He no longer had time to think so much.
Instead, he focused his attention on what Liu Shishi had just said.
"The Lotus of Earth is not with Emperor Jianhong."
Zeng Anmin slowly opened his eyes, with a sharp look in his eyes:
"In other words, all my previous speculations were wrong."
He took a deep breath.
"The Daoist sect is evil and it's Emperor Jianhong who's crying thief..."
He swallowed and rubbed his hands gently.
I just felt like I had uncovered a huge secret...
"Zhu Wanjun..."
"The Taoist evil zombie..."
Zeng Anmin murmured slowly.
Suddenly, his body trembled!
The scene of encountering the evil zombie in the dense forest outside Beijing that day emerged in my mind.
"The evil zombie launched a sneak attack."
"Zhu Wanjun only fought him for one move."
"And it just so happened that I was using the golden scepter to send waves of attack towards the evil zombie."
"Then the evil zombie escaped."
Zeng Anmin remembers it very clearly.
This is what happened at that time.
Speaking of this.
Zeng Anmin murmured slowly:
"That's what's wrong."
"How could the evil zombie be scared away by the combined efforts of Zhu Wanjun and I?"
"If it can be scared away by the two of us working together, how could it possibly come back?"
"You know, Zhu Wanjun was chasing that evil zombie... When he was halfway there, the evil zombie suddenly appeared..."
Zeng Anmin's brows were tightly knitted together:
"In other words, the evil zombie had already escaped, but returned to fight Zhu Wanjun?"
Speaking of this.
He slowly raised his head, staring straight at the full moon outside the window:
"None of this makes sense."
"unless……"
His voice was full of depth:
"Unless that evil zombie returns for other purposes."
"Otherwise, just fighting for a round and then running away is really weird."
"What is the purpose of the evil zombie?"
Zeng Anmin's eyes were filled with trance:
"Obviously."
"It's for... the Lotus of the Earth!"
Speaking of this.
Zeng Anmin raised his head abruptly and looked towards the direction of Xuanzhen Division:
"The Earth Lotus was stolen. The one who stole it was... Zhu Wanjun."
"And the night I killed Zhu Wanjun, I happened to see him making a deal with that evil zombie. The object of the deal was the Lotus of Earth."
"So the move Zhu Wanjun used against the evil zombie...wasn't actually a fight. Instead, Zhu Wanjun was giving the evil zombie the Earth Lotus!"
Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin fell into deep thought again.
"What is Zhu Wanjun's purpose?"
"Why did he go through so much trouble to find the Earth Lotus for the Taoist Fu Sect's evil zombie?"
"Could it be that he was the one who planned the assassination of Emperor Jianhong?"
Thinking of this, he shook his head again:
"No, I've heard that the cultivation of the people in the Xuanzhen Division is closely related to the fate of the Great Saint Dynasty."
"Zhu Wanjun is also a fourth-grade meridian gathering master, so he would not do something that would damage his own foundation."
"Who could that be..."
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Zeng Anmin's mind.
"According to my previous speculation."
"Zhu Wanjun and Ningguo Duke Li Jian have a secret connection."
"Could all this be Li Jian's plan?"
Only less than an hour had passed.
Zeng Anmin's idea was that Emperor Jianhong would stage a plan to weaken Duke Ningguo.
Now, Duke Ningguo wants to assassinate Emperor Jianhong and seize power in the imperial dynasty...
"If that's the case..."
"What was Li Jian's purpose in planning to assassinate Emperor Jianhong?"
Zeng Anmin felt his head was a little big.
"Although I can't guess what Li Jian's purpose was in planning this assassination."
"But the man in the bamboo hat who assassinated Emperor Jianhong that day was most likely a Taoist evil zombie who had consumed the Earth Lotus."
There was a hint of certainty in Zeng Anmin's voice.
"In other words, as long as we follow the clues of the Taoist evil zombie, we will definitely uncover the conspiracy behind this assassination."
Speaking of this.
Zeng Anmin glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the Imperial City Division.
"Well... I can tell Brother Bai all my speculations."
"It's just that if I want to say something, I have to change the wording."
"It can't be that I discovered that Zhu Wanjun was making a deal with that evil zombie."
"But Zhu Wanjun was carrying the Earth Lotus, and was killed by the evil zombie and his spiritual root was taken away."
"wipe."
Zeng Anmin was a little depressed.
"Sure enough, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up."
"Alas~"
But before that…
Zeng Anmin slowly looked towards the direction of the imperial palace.
"I have to go see the eldest princess first."
…
Just do it.
Zeng Anmin went straight into the palace with the token given to him by the princess.
The token works surprisingly well.
No one gave him any trouble.
He walked all the way from the palace gate to the eldest princess's palace.
"Greetings, Princess. Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"
After seeing the eldest princess, Zeng Anmin was a little amazed.
At this time, the eldest princess was sitting with her hair down.
His back was facing Zeng Anmin.
But Zeng Anmin could vaguely see the eldest princess's bare feet through the gap in the stool under her buttocks.
The jade feet are pink and tender.
No matter what, Zeng Anmin is a warrior at the sixth level and with fifth-level combat power.
The eyesight is naturally impeccable.
Although the room was dim, it did not affect his eyesight.
The eldest princess's smooth and pink jade feet, under the candlelight, seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of light... gentle, yet full of charm.
"No wonder some perverts in my previous life were foot fetishists..."
"Don't tell me."
After thinking for a moment, Zeng Anmin looked up at the eldest princess's back.
"I had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by the servants."
The princess turned her head and glanced at Zeng Anmin, frowning slightly and said:
"What do you want to see me for?"
Zeng Anmin coughed dryly, a look of shame on his face:
"Your Highness, it is my fault that I have not done my job well. Please punish me."
When the princess heard this, a trace of contemplation appeared on her face. Then she looked at Zeng Anmin solemnly and asked:
"Has the matter of searching for the Xihuangtu been leaked?"
"That's not the case." Zeng Anmin waved his hand, a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"Liu Shishi, a disciple of the Xuanzhen Division and a dignified third-rank demon-subduing master, openly came to my house and threatened my subordinates."
Hearing this.
The eldest princess's face suddenly turned cold.
Her eyes became deep and her voice was like the collision of ice cubes:
"Liu Shishi...how did she bully you?"
"Let's hear her talk. If she's right, then that's all."
"If it's unreasonable..."
The eldest princess' voice became increasingly cold.
Huh~
A sweet feeling emerged in Zeng Anmin's heart.
Look.
She is worthy of being the first wife.
She's already protecting her husband even before they even got married.
What if they get married...what will happen?
"Um?"
When the princess saw that Zeng Anmin didn't speak for a long time, she frowned slightly.
"Well……"
Zeng Anmin coughed dryly, his voice choked with sobs:
"Today, I was sitting peacefully at home when Liu Shishi suddenly appeared and drew her flying sword on my subordinates."
"Your Highness knows that she is a third-rank demon subduer. I cannot defeat her."
At this point, the grievance on Zeng Anmin's face has become real:
"I only found out after she told me that. She didn't know where she got the information from, but she knew that my name was the one behind the Qinghai Bay Spirit Mine."
"As soon as she arrived, she asked me for spiritual ore..."
"That's not my property, it's His Highness's! I definitely can't agree to this!"
"So I would rather die than surrender."
"It's just..." Zeng Anmin covered his face and shed tears.
"Who knew she would actually, she would actually force herself onto my bed..."
“Crack!”
Zeng Anmin had barely finished speaking when he saw the teacup and porcelain bowl in the princess's hand being crushed into powder...
"Your Highness...you..."
Zeng Anmin swallowed his saliva.
Be good.
She saw it.
The first wife is jealous.
But this is too violent...
The eldest princess had no expression on her face.
The whole body was extremely cold.
There was a hint of chill in the air.
"She, a dignified third-rank demon-slayer, actually did something like this!"
As the princess spoke, the coldness on her face seemed to turn into frost.
"Okay, okay."
Her face has turned into a sneer:
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Xuanzhen Division!"
"ah?"
Zeng Anmin was stunned.
"Go back and get some rest."
The princess put away the cold expression on her face, looked at Zeng Anmin, waved her fair hand and said:
"I am tired."
"yes."
Zeng Anmin couldn't help but look at the princess worriedly and said:
"Don't get into a fight with Liu Shishi. She's a third-rank rank after all..."
Hearing Zeng Anmin's words.
The eldest princess's face lightened slightly.
She sighed softly, and a soft look flashed across her autumn-water eyes:
"The matter of the spiritual mine is of great importance, and I am well aware of it."
"Well, your Highness is doing things, and I am naturally relieved."
…………
Out of the palace.
Zeng Anmin's heart slowly settled down.
The reason why he came to the palace early was to look for the eldest princess.
In fact, it was just to cover up the fact that the person behind the secret of giving away the spiritual mine in front of Liu Shishi was the eldest princess.
Although it's not a big deal.
Anyone who is interested can find it.
But if the princess knew later that Liu Shishi got the information from her.
It will definitely create a gap within yourself.
…………
The next day.
Imperial City Division.
"Hello, Second Master!"
"Good morning, Second Master!"
"Wow! Second Master is in high spirits today!"
“…………”
Walking on the path of Huangchengsi.
Zeng Anmin felt the greetings from the grapes under the jurisdiction of Beiti City.
He replied to each one with a smile.
"morning."
"Um……"
"On duty."
“…”
It's all non-nutritious stuff.
"are you sure?"
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin excitedly.
Seeing Bai Ziqing's useless look.
Zeng Anmin said he could understand it.
“Okay, okay!”
Bai Ziqing's face was shocked!
"Taoism, Fu Sect, evil zombies."
"Xuanzhensi, Earth Lotus, and the Man in the Bamboo Hat!"
"very good!!"
Bai Ziqing stood up and walked outside:
"Brother Quan Fu, please wait here. I will report to His Majesty immediately. You should be the first to achieve this great feat!"
As he spoke, he tapped the ground lightly with his toes.
The whole person just floated away.
Looking at his back.
Zeng Anmin touched his chin:
"This achievement...should I get a promotion?"
"But after this case is over, I have to find a way to get Tian Zhilian."
"Otherwise, being haunted by that strange aura isn't a solution..."
…………
"What does your Majesty say?"
Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing who had returned and asked with a serious look on his face.
Bai Ziqing took a deep breath:
"Investigate the Taoist Fu Sect and the evil zombie incident thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."
"Um……"
Zeng Anmin nodded.
This was pretty much what he expected.
"How do I check?"
Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at him and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Bai Ziqing's lips curled up slightly: "It has now been confirmed that the assassin is Xie Jing from the Taoist Fu Sect."
"We only need to ask the experts from the Xuanzhen Division to deduce and we will be able to determine the location of the evil zombie."
"And His Majesty, considering the strength of that evil zombie and fearing any accidents, arranged for Si Zhongxiao to go with me."
"Um……"
Zeng Anmin breathed a sigh of relief.
Considering the strength displayed by the evil zombie that day.
Even though the effect of the Earth Lotus might have worn off by now, he still didn't trust Bai Ziqing to track it down alone.
Emperor Jianhong was able to take this into consideration, which really showed that he valued Bai Ziqing very much.
He was about to speak.
His expression suddenly hardened.
etc!
"You said His Majesty sent Si Zhongxiao to go out of the capital with you to track down the Taoist evil zombie?!"
"yes."
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there any other problem?"
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.
He saw through the truth behind the assassination...
