Chapter 265 Plague
"Why are you here again!" When Li Hongzhao came out, her beautiful face did not give him a good look.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Come and see how it's going."

Li Hongzhao snorted and said, "It's a piece of cake. There's no need to make a big fuss. Are you here to watch the fun?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I have a piece of news to tell you."

Li Hongzhao pointed inside.

The two came to the small pavilion in the front yard.

Apart from the two little maids, there was no one else in the courtyard, and even the great master Su Qiuyan was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Why isn't Mr. Su here?"

Even if Su Qiuyan was not in front of him, he could usually sense her and know where she was.

But this time, there was no Su Qiuyan within a radius of 500 meters. This time she really left.

This is really rare.

As Li Hongzhao's bodyguard, you must stay with him all the time and never leave easily.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to kill the princess, but what if there was a master or grand master of an evil sect?
Never underestimate the destructive power of these evil sects.

If anything happens to the princess, there is no way to bring her back to life even if you take crazy revenge on her afterwards.

Moreover, the evil sect doesn't care about the royal family's revenge at all. The more they retaliate, the more excited they become. It's unreasonable.

"How do you know Mr. Su isn't here?" Li Hongzhao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, let's get down to business."

Chu Zhiyuan guessed that Su Qiuyan must have gone to investigate that matter, so he told her about the Xunzhou City incident.

Li Hongzhao's face darkened: "Lu Yaofeng's cave residence has actually been leaked?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Besides you, who else knows about Lu Yaofeng's cave?"

Li Hongzhao shook his head slowly.

After reading that travelogue, almost no one would read such ancient books anymore.

He also conducted a quiet investigation and finally confirmed that Lu Yaofeng's cave was near Yujing City.

For more than a thousand years, no one has ever mentioned Lu Yaofeng's cave, and even few people know Lu Yaofeng.

Now someone actually mentioned Lu Yaofeng's cave.

She stared at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It wasn't leaked from my side. I never mentioned the cave."

"You must have asked someone to investigate Lu Yaofeng, right?"

"..."

"So, maybe you were the one who leaked it, and there's something wrong with you."

"…This matter is not simple. Now that it has been spread, it will be difficult to calm it down."

"It's impossible to find Xunzhou City."

"If we can't find it in Xunzhou City, then could it be somewhere else?" Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Don't underestimate the people of the world."

"..." Li Hongzhao thought for a moment and said, "Then we have to speed up, lest someone else gets there first."

She didn't expect things to turn out like this. It was originally just a bait to kill Chu Zhiyuan, but now it's getting bigger and bigger.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "We can't be too hasty. If we don't find the trouble first, what if it attacks us from behind?"

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly and nodded slowly.

This is also true.

But it is not so easy to find out who replaced the anti-poison beads, and Mr. Su has not found it yet.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You really don't want my help? Things are different now, don't let others take the lead."

"...No need." Li Hongzhao snorted.

Since it didn't work before, we have to stick with it.

The more enthusiastic he was, the less he could agree to it.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That's fine. We should also investigate the incident of leaking Lu Yaofeng's cave residence."

"You don't have to tell me. I will check it out." Li Hongzhao snorted.

……

Chu Zhiyuan met the Grand Master Chu Qingyan in the Ministry of Imperial Clan Affairs.

As soon as Chu Qingyan saw him, his serious face suddenly turned into a smile: "Yuan'er, what's the matter?"

Chu Zhiyuan recounted what happened.

Chu Qingyan frowned: "These officials are just sitting there doing nothing, they really deserve to be killed!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Because of their incompetence and whitewashing, they missed the best time to suppress the movement, resulting in more deaths.

Many of them were involved innocently, or even became innocent victims of the disaster.

"Grandmaster is coming? What are you investigating?"

"Uncle, we should find out who is behind this and what he wants to do."

"Do you think it was done by the Yuding Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The Yuding Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect don't have such methods. It doesn't seem like the method of an evil sect." He ruled out the Yuding Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect from the beginning.

Let's not talk about the Yuding Sect, let's just go straight to the point, even the Miying Sect seems to be acting in secret, so it should be like this.

In fact, the Secret Shadow Sect has not changed its evil nature. They are just good at hiding in the shadows and assassinating. Their martial arts are sinister, but their actions are not sinister. Instead, they are bold and reckless.

Otherwise, he would not help the Yuding Sect.

The Yuding Sect would not trust them either.

"If it's not the evil sect, then it must be the Great Meng?"

"It doesn't look like Da Meng either."

"Who is that?" Chu Qingyan was curious: "It's okay to tell me, so I can have a direction."

"Who do you think it will be, uncle?"

"Okay, Yuan'er, I'm old and weak, and I don't have a brain as sharp as yours, so just say it!"

"I think it might be the Worry-Free Sect." Chu Zhiyuan used the secret telepathy technique to say this.

“Hmm——?!” Chu Qingyan’s expression changed slightly.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the palace and said in a low voice: "Yuan'er, don't do anything stupid!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and continued to use the secret voice transmission: "I think about it afterwards. The only reason the news could be leaked is probably because they were discovered when investigating Lu Yaofeng's woman. There won't be any problems in other links, and they won't go wrong so quickly."

Chu Qingyan also sent a secret message: "Although the Wuyou Sect's actions are out of line, they would not do such a thing."

"Grandmaster, you will know if you check it out."

"...Okay, I'll send a Grand Master over to check it out."

"Thank you, uncle!"

"You..." Chu Qingyan said with a smile: "You are indeed a good candidate for work, but it's a pity that you are not interested in this."

Chu Zhiyuan's shrewdness and sharpness were the best among all the officials he had ever seen, and no one could match him.

What the court lacks most is not capable talents, but outstanding talents like him who transcend the mundane world.

But he was dedicated to spiritual practice and only occasionally paid attention to the affairs of the court. Most of the time he was focused on his own spiritual practice.

This is understandable.

When one reaches the level of Grand Master and there is no further progress to be made, one naturally wants to find something to kill the long time.

Either go to the Grand Master's Mansion to find work, or go to the four great caves and the four secret places to guard.

In fact, the two groups of people take turns, and often one group takes a year.

Since he was the crown prince, he could also directly serve in the court as the left vice minister or even vice minister, or even worse, the chancellor.

It will be a blessing for the court then.

It would be nice to become an emperor.

But it is not easy to become the emperor of Dajing. At present, the most promising one is the King of England.

……

Chu Zhiyuan returned to Tingtao Court and continued his practice and cultivation, with the sword-cultivation technique running all the time.

The fifth layer of refining membrane has been completed unknowingly.

The sixth level of the Dragon Transformation Technique to strengthen the tendons also began to be practiced.

The golden aura of the Dragon Transformation Art was injected into the tendons between the bones, making the tendons thicker and stronger, allowing the power of the bones to be transmitted and exploded quickly.

This further enhances his speed and strength.

He felt a stronger power, felt satisfied, and wanted to practice more.

Once you focus, time passes extremely quickly.

It felt like three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the evening of the third day, he first went to Zongwu Division and met Chu Qingyan.

Chu Qingyan waved his hand with a serious expression.

The two came to a secret room in Zongwu Division.

Chu Zhiyuan knew from his expression that it was probably just as he expected, and that it was indeed done by the Wuyou Sect.

The secret room, which was ten meters square, was clean and tidy, with only a couch and a table, and nothing else.

The sounds from outside were blocked out, and it was so quiet that you could hear your breathing.

"It was indeed done by the disciples of Wuyou Sect." Chu Qingyan said slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "What is Wuyou Sect trying to do?"
