Yanyu Tower.

"I am willing to serve His Highness, so how dare I ask for credit?"

"His Highness said this, which really offends this official."

"From now on, as long as you are sent by His Highness, I will go through fire and water without any hesitation!"

Cao Yan said with a smile, while carefully sitting opposite Zhu Yunxi, but his whole body was obviously nervous, his smile was full of bitterness, and he was restless.

"I propose a toast to you. I hope you will remember what I said today."

"This wine is good, much better than the wine in your teaching department."

As Zhu Yunxi spoke, he poured another cup for Cao Yan himself.

Cao Yan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly put his hands in front of the cup, frightened and flattered.

"Are you worried that what happened to Liuguang Buzhuang will happen to you?"

Seeing Cao Yan finishing a glass of wine with trepidation, Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.

"Exactly..."

"Nothing can be hidden from Your Highness!"

Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, with a heavy look of worry on his face.

If Liuguang Buzhuang is exposed, then his identity as the head of the Jiaofang Department is likely to be exposed. By then, no one can save him!

"You'll be fine, just keep your heart in mind."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said lightly.

"But I've been to Buzhuang more than once recently. If someone really discovers something, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve His Highness anymore!"

"Please also ask Your Highness to lend a helping hand and rescue this official!"

Cao Yan grimaced, stood up, bowed respectfully, and begged.

"His Highness said you are fine, you must be fine!"

"But if you can't keep your composure, if something happens, you will have no one to blame but yourself!"

Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Hong Yuan on the side had already said something coldly.

"Really?"

After hearing this, Cao Yan turned to look at Hong Yuan blankly, then looked at Zhu Yunxi expectantly, and asked cautiously.

"You are still useful to me, so you won't die just yet."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded, affirming.

Although the words were not pleasant to hear, Cao Yan could not help but feel relieved after hearing this and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

"But Your Highness, why did Liuguang Fabric Store become empty overnight? Not only did all the fabrics inside disappear out of thin air, but why did everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiters disappear without a trace?!"

After Cao Yan hesitated for a moment, he continued to ask, his face full of confusion.

"If you really want to survive, then act like you don't know anything, let alone ask around!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head slightly, looked at Cao Yan seriously, and said in a deep voice.

Although such a strange thing happened in Liuguang Buzhuang, he had long known that Jiang Wei led the Jinyiwei to do it, so he concluded that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to calm the matter and protect Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di.

"I understand!"

Cao Yan immediately nodded heavily and answered without question.

"However, you have to send a message to Zhang Yu and tell him about this. The reason why you are still alive is because I protected you."

"Understand?"

Zhu Yunxi paused and continued.

"understand!"

Cao Yan immediately nodded and replied respectfully.

Even if Zhu Yunxi didn't say it, he could understand the profound meaning of this.

Afterwards, Cao Yan said goodbye to Zhu Yunxi and quietly left Yanyu Tower.

"How are you preparing for the other side?"

After Cao Yan left, Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Hong Yuan and asked lightly.

"The plan should have already begun to be implemented."

Hongyuan thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"In that case, it's time for us to set off."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, stood up and walked out as he spoke.

Hong Yuan said nothing more and quickly followed Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Highness, are you leaving now? I still want to have a drink with you."

Not long after he left the box, Zhu Yunxi ran into Lan Yue, the shopkeeper of Yanyulou.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was about to leave, Lan Yue waved the silk handkerchief in her hand and called out with some disappointment.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't even look back. In a blink of an eye, he had walked out of Yanyu Tower and headed straight for the exit of Jiuyou Realm.

...

Jinwu Guardhouse.

"Reporting to the commander, Captain Fang and his men arrested a suspicious person in the city not long ago, and have obtained important information from this person!"

"Captain Fang ordered his men to come immediately and report to the commander, please go there!"

Just as Xiao Huan was about to leave the guard post and go home, one of his subordinates suddenly rushed into the post office in a hurry, panting and handing over his report.

"Why are you so nervous?!"

"Is there anything we can't discuss tomorrow morning?!"

Xiao Huan frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.

Originally, he had been restless in the past few days. Today, His Majesty finally issued an order to stop investigating the attack on the Lu family. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to release the Yamen and return home early. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by his subordinates at this time.

"It has something to do with His Majesty the Grand Sun!"

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, glanced around, came closer, and spoke in a low voice.

The entire Kyoto knew about the relationship between Xiao Huan and His Highness Taisun, and naturally their subordinates also knew about it.

After hearing what his subordinates said, Xiao Huan's expression suddenly changed, and the impatience that originally appeared on his face dissipated instantly!

"What did you say?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

Xiao Huan looked at his subordinates nervously, grabbed his collar, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Captain Fang didn't say anything, he just said that I would like to ask you to come over anyway!"

The subordinate was stunned for a moment and replied nervously.

"Lead the way!"

Xiao Huan hesitated for a moment, pushed his hand away, and said in a deep voice.

The subordinates agreed and immediately led the way.

...

After half a stick of incense.

Xiao Huan finally followed the subordinate outside a house in the city.

Xiao Huan recognized this place. If he remembered correctly, this was Captain Fang's home!

So, Xiao Huan knocked on the courtyard door and entered the house full of doubts.

Until this moment, he didn't know what Captain Fang had found.

For a moment, he guessed that Captain Fang might have discovered some clues about the Beiyuan spy. Otherwise, how could he secretly invite him to his home? !

However, what Xiao Huan didn't notice was that just as he followed the subordinate into the house, a strange figure appeared in the dark alley in the distance, staring at his back!

It is none other than the shopkeeper of Mixue Ice Pavilion, Qingmei!

Soon, Xiao Huan saw his subordinate, Captain Fang, who was sitting in a side room.

In addition to Lieutenant Fang and several Jinwu guards, there was a man kneeling on the ground who was tied up with five flowers and a rag stuffed in his mouth. It was obvious that he had just been beaten and kicked.

"Captain Fang, it's so late, what's going on?!"

"Who is this person?!"

Xiao Huan pretended to be calm, looked dissatisfied at Captain Fang who stood up and came to greet him with a salute, and asked in a deep voice.

Although he was asking questions, he was already thinking about how he would make a decision if it was related to Beiyuan's secret agent, and he had already prepared for the worst.

"Reporting to the commander, when we were investigating the attack on the Lu family, we found that this man was acting suspiciously, so we arrested him. But you will never imagine what we found out from his mouth!"

Captain Fang pointed to the man on the ground and replied excitedly, his eyes full of excitement.

"What..."

Xiao Huan swallowed secretly and asked slightly nervously.

"According to this person's confession, the person who attacked Jiaofangsi and the Lu family was ordered by Zhu Yunxi, the great grandson of the current dynasty! He is also the future son-in-law of the Commander-in-Chief!"

Captain Fang took two steps forward and said in a deep voice, the excitement between his eyebrows becoming more and more obvious!

"what?!"

"Is there such a thing?!"

After Xiao Huan heard this, his expression suddenly changed!

At this moment, he no longer knew how to describe his mood. Although he was sure that it was not the matter of Beiyuan's secret agents, once the words of Captain Fang were spread, His Highness Taisun would probably be in trouble!

In fact, he had long suspected that all of this might have something to do with His Highness Taisun, but when he actually heard this confession, he was still shocked for a long time.

"Is what he said true?!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Huan turned to look at the man kneeling on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and asked coldly, with no expression on his face.

At this time, Captain Fang was also observing Xiao Huan's expression changes intentionally or unintentionally, with his right hand still holding the saber at his waist!

The movements in the hands of the other Jinwu Guards were exactly the same, and there was a hint of tension and depression in the air...
