After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Du Changfeng said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense. Last time you asked me to find out who wanted to assassinate you, I have already found out."

"Have you found out? It must be Gui Lanting, right?" I asked hurriedly.

Du Changfeng glanced at me and said, "The person who paid the Red Flower Society is indeed a member of the Gui family, but he is not Madam Zhao's man. He is a confidant of Grand Tutor Gui. This confidant disappeared after the mission failed and has not been found yet."

I gritted my teeth and said, "This Gui Lanting is really smart. He has cleared himself of all wrongdoings."

Du Changfeng nodded and said, "I also understand that this matter is related to Madam Zhao, but there is no evidence pointing to her, and we can't go to trouble Master Gui, because the person who paid for the murder has disappeared. Master Gui will definitely eliminate himself and then find an excuse to say that it was a grudge between you two and it had nothing to do with him."

I leaned against the window and thought about it, then said, "I've thought about this carefully. It must be that Gui Lanting saw me when I was traveling with Yiping that day. She might not recognize me because I've lost too much weight and my appearance has changed a lot, but she will recognize Yiping. Yiping's appearance has hardly changed at all, except that she has become more beautiful. Yiping is always by my side. Wherever Yiping is, I must be with her. So if she wants to kill me, she just needs to recognize this carriage."

Du Changfeng nodded and said, "Your analysis makes sense. Madam Zhao is a very smart person. She used this trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife very smoothly."

I was silent.

The people of the Gui family were indeed very smart, otherwise, even though Gui Demin clearly intended to rebel, they would not have found any evidence to convict him. Even Zheng Xian was a little wary of him and did not dare to touch him without complete and solid evidence.

Seeing that I was silent, Du Changfeng kindly comforted me and said, "Don't worry too much. With His Majesty's order, the Red Flower Society will no longer accept orders from you."

"No, His Majesty said that the Red Flower Society has been eradicated and they will never be able to do evil again. How come from what you said, the Red Flower Society is still alive and well and not affected at all?" I asked hurriedly.

Du Changfeng then realized that he had said the wrong thing and turned his head away in embarrassment without saying anything.

I said angrily, "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I will go and ask His Majesty directly."

Du Changfeng then turned around and said, "The Red Flower Society and the Privy Council are both spy agencies under His Majesty's control, but one is in the civilian population and the other is in the palace, and the sources of their intelligence are also different."

I was so angry that my head was about to explode. Zheng Xian lied to me again!

This big liar!

Seeing how angry I was, Du Changfeng felt a little regretful that he had revealed too much.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Du Changfeng quickly said: "I will go to Xihe Country in a few days."

As expected, I was led astray by him, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do in Xihe Country?"

Du Changfeng said: "The Xihe Kingdom sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that they were willing to exchange the crown prince for a border peace treaty or two cities, and asked us to escort the crown prince back to the country. His Majesty gave me the important task of escorting Zhou Min back to the country."

I said in surprise, "The people of Xihe are so cunning. What if they change their minds after you escort Zhou Min back to Xihe? It sounds like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth. You will most likely never come back if you go there."

Du Changfeng sighed, turned his head and looked at me, and said, "That's why I told you this, hoping that you can help me think of a good solution. His Majesty said that you are a lucky person. Since you helped me catch Zhou Min, I also believe that you are a lucky person. With your advice to me, I believe there will definitely be a turnaround."

At this time, we were almost at the palace gate. Looking at the heavily guarded palace gate, I couldn't help thinking that although the people of Xihe were good at fighting, they were extremely smart and cautious. They were like a group of wolves across the country, smart and ferocious, so Xihe was also called the Wolf Country.

Du Changfeng escorted Zhou Min back to the country this time. As long as he entered the palace gate of Xihe Kingdom, he would be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others, and there would be no turning back.

So I said with a firm look in my eyes: "Zhou Min cannot be sent back to Xihe. This kind of rapist dare not harm people in their country, but ran to Dayu to cause trouble. If we let him go back, he will not be grateful to us, but will resent us. In the future, he will definitely regard Dayu as a thorn in his side and get rid of it as soon as possible."

Du Changfeng sighed helplessly and said, "Since Zhou Min was captured, a large number of assassins have broken into the palace at night many times, and even broke into the Hall of Supreme Harmony several times. If it weren't for the strict guards and experts in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I'm afraid your majesty would have been abducted by them. So your majesty was very annoyed and kept me here just now to discuss this matter with me and let me come up with a foolproof plan as soon as possible."

I thought about it, and suddenly a face flashed through my mind. This face slowly overlapped with Zhou Min's, and they were surprisingly 70% or 80% similar!

I was shocked by the thought that came to my mind.

I said hesitantly, "I had never seen Zhou Min before, so I didn't know what he looked like. But after meeting him that day, I think back now and realize that there was a man who looked 70% like Zhou Min."

Du Changfeng was also shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Who is it?"

I slowly uttered two words: "Ankang."

Du Changfeng took a long breath, looked at me in disbelief, and said, "Isn't Ankang the servant next to you?"

I nodded and said, "He was originally a servant in the Taifu Mansion. When I lived there, Lord Gongsun sent him to serve me. Ankang is a very hardworking and simple man. In order to express my gratitude for his care, I asked Lord Gongsun for his indenture a few days ago and helped him regain his civilian status."

Du Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "I remember this person, but I haven't looked closely at his appearance. I'll go to his house tomorrow to confirm it carefully."

I nodded and said, "If Ankang's true identity is related to Xihe Country, I have a good idea, but if it is not, then I have to start over.

I have come up with a new idea. ”

"Any good ideas?" Du Changfeng asked quickly.

At this time, the carriage had successfully driven out of the palace gate.

The carriage I was riding in was the one Zheng Xian usually used for his daily outings. Although it was not luxurious, it had the emperor's special mark on it, so the officials guarding the palace gate would never dare to stop it. In addition, with Du Changfeng accompanying him, the officials thought it was the emperor's incognito visit, so they were even more respectful, kneeling on the ground with their heads almost buried in the ground.

After leaving the palace, I quickly stuck my head out again and said to Du Changfeng, "Don't worry, send someone to check Ankang's background first. As for Zhou Min, wait for two more days to stabilize the envoy from Xihe State and buy more time to investigate."

Du Changfeng said happily: "I understand this. After sending you back home, I will go to the palace to report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to use the secret information in his hands to find out the truth about Ankang's life experience."
