Zheng Lang actually thought about it, or else he would go to the door in person and ask him what he meant.

But now the Qi family and that adult are keeping a close eye on him. If he acts rashly, his identity will be exposed.

It will definitely arouse the other party's dissatisfaction.

Now the regent definitely doesn't want to reveal his identity.

Zheng Lang had a headache. He glanced at Zheng Xu and said, "Forget it, you don't want to go either."

"Lest it backfire then."

"Let's just wait and see what happens."

"Xu'er, there are some things that I'd like to remind you as a father. Let's just let it go."

Zheng Xu knew what this meant, and felt a little depressed. Then he nodded: "I know."

Jiang Si glanced at Zhou Jingxuan, who was pretending to be drunk: "Are you planning to cooperate with the Zheng family?"

Zhou Jingxuan slowly opened his eyes, his expression was extremely clear, and he could not see the slightest hint of drunkenness.

He hummed softly: "Compared to other families, the Zheng family is slightly better."

"There are too many secrets in Ningzhou. Without their people, it would be difficult for me to find out."

"It's that dungeon, and I have no clue."

"If the Zheng family is willing to cooperate, it might be much easier."

Of course Zhou Jingxuan would not say that he decided to cooperate with the Zheng family because Jiang Si had a good relationship with Zheng Yan.

In fact, there are two other companies that are also good partners.

At midnight.

Zheng Lang couldn't sleep because of what happened during the day, so he sat in the study.

The candlelight in the room danced, and suddenly the window was blown open by a gust of wind, causing the candlelight to flicker and almost go out.

The attendant in the room quickly stepped forward and closed the window. When he was about to turn around, someone suddenly appeared behind him. Before he could even scream out, he fell to the ground.

The human body fell to the ground, making the sound of a heavy object falling.

After hearing this, Zheng Lang raised his head and looked to one side: "What's wrong?"

But he didn't get a reply. When he got up and wanted to check, he heard a voice: "Master Zheng."

"meet again."

Zheng Lang stiffened, and then he saw Zhou Jingxuan walking out of the darkness.

His legs went weak, and he quickly held on to the table, with a pale face and a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Zhou Jingxuan sat down slowly and calmly, his ordinary face feeling a little more oppressive than during the day.

During the day, Zhou Jingxuan was snobbish and a bit flattering, chatting and laughing.

But now Zhou Jingxuan's expression was calm, and the aura around him made people involuntarily frightened.

Zheng Lang swallowed and calmed down: "My lord, why are you here tonight?"

Zhou Jingxuan's tone was calm, as if there was no deterrent, but it scared Zheng Lang to the point of sweating on his forehead.

"There is also the business between the Zheng family and the Qi family. Everyone knows the details of the Zheng family."

"Based on the situation of the Zheng family, it is not an exaggeration to confiscate the family and send them into exile."

"but……"

When Zhou Jingxuan stopped talking, Zheng Lang's heart suddenly lifted.

He looked at Zhou Jingxuan helplessly and swallowed his saliva: "You tell me."

Zhou Jingxuan chuckled softly: "If the Zheng family master is willing to cooperate with me, then he will make up for his mistakes and take everything lightly."

"Of course, if the Master of the Zheng family is unwilling, I will not force him to do so."

"After all, the adult behind you has very good hands and eyes."

After saying this, Zhou Jingxuan's eyes fell on Zheng Xu's face inadvertently.

Sure enough, Zheng Xu had a bit of horror on his face, and he was thinking about how much Zhou Jingxuan knew about that adult.

I am also thinking about how to choose to save the Zheng family to the greatest extent.

"Master Zheng can consider it, but I don't have much patience."

Zheng Xu was silent for a long time, then he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhou Jingxuan: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it."

"If I cooperate with you, I have only one request."

Zhou Jingxuan glanced at him indifferently, with a cold expression: "Do you think you are qualified to ask me?"

"Master Zheng, I'm afraid he has forgotten your current situation."

"Think about the Xie family's situation."

"You said that if the Zheng family ends up worse than the Xie family, do you think the person you are loyal to will be wise enough to protect himself or avenge you?"

There was a hint of sarcasm on his face: "The so-called prominent families in Jiangbei are probably just like lackeys to him."

"Do you think he will confront me head-on for you?"

Zhou Jingxuan's words were not polite, but every word struck Zheng Lang's heart.

What he said was indeed true. If nothing else, they didn't even know whether the adult was male or female or how old he was.

Zheng Lang folded his hands and clasped them tightly, his palms dripping with sweat. He licked his lips and spoke nervously: "Your Majesty, I know what you said is the truth."

"It's just that as the head of the Zheng family, I have to consider the Zheng family."

"I have nothing to ask for, I just hope that if you can, the prince, you can give the Zheng family a way to survive."

"It really doesn't work..."

He paused: "Leave Xu'er and Yan'er alive."

This was the last thing Zheng Lang wanted.

Zhou Jingxuan glanced at Zheng Lang in surprise, and finally agreed: "King Xingben agrees."

Zheng Lang felt a hint of joy in his heart, and he quickly knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The candlelight flickered in the house, and it started to rain lightly outside.

Zhou Jingxuan glanced at Zheng Lang: "How much do you know about that so-called adult?"

Zheng Lang shook his head: "I know very little."

"That one was passed on by the Qi family, and we don't know the rest."

"Don't even know if he's a boy or a girl."

Zhou Jingxuan continued to ask: "Then why do you still listen to him?"

A look of helplessness appeared on Zheng Lang's face: "Someone has done what you said before."

"That gentleman is mysterious to begin with. Some people were dissatisfied, saying why they should listen to him if they have never seen him."

"Maybe the Qi family is causing trouble and creating a fictional person to control them."

"Everyone had this idea at the time."

“But it didn’t take long for people who openly questioned it to have trouble.”

"He died at home that day. His limbs were broken, his eyes were gouged out, and his tongue was cut out."

"This does not end with this man's death."

"On the contrary, it's a beginning."

Zheng Lang shook his head, with a hint of fear in his expression: "From that day on, someone will die basically every day, and the death will be miserable."

"On the tenth death, that family will introduce a new head."

"And he found the Qi family and apologized for what happened at that time."

"There has been no other sound since."

"After all, no one dares to risk their own lives."

Zhou Jingxuan nodded thoughtfully: "Then who said we arrived in Ningzhou."

This Zheng Lang knows better: "It was also what the adult said."

Zhou Jingxuan had some understanding in his heart, thinking that they had someone inside.

It seems that Qi Yuanming was mistaken for him because he didn't know what he was telling them.

"What about the dungeon?"

"What's going on in the dungeon?"
