"Do I have to ask you if you beg me?" Xiao Qingfang found it funny.

"You have come to slaughter my Zixia Temple, you must want to ask something very important. At least you have asked it, and then you kill me!" Wang Zhiyuan shouted.

The closer he was to death, the clearer Wang Zhiyuan's mind became.

Who are the Inner Guards? They are the emperor's dogs, and Xiao Qingfang is the king of dogs. These dogs usually have important tasks on their shoulders, and it is impossible for them to come here and massacre his Zixia Temple for no reason.

Moreover, it is highly likely that Xiao Qingfang massacred Zixia Temple not because his conspiracy with Princess Taiping was exposed. If the conspiracy was really exposed, Xiao Qingfang would simply let him die.

The current situation is just right. At most, he is in a suspicious situation but the situation is not serious. As long as he answers well, Xiao Qingfang will not kill him directly.

"I don't want to ask."

Under Wang Zhiyuan's extremely eager gaze, Xiao Qingfang still spoke lazily.

Why did she have to ask? Would Wang Zhiyuan answer her questions? Would Wang Zhiyuan's answers be true?

Xiao Qingfang didn't know, and she didn't want to ask.

"No, please, please, just ask, I will tell you everything I know, General Xiao!"

Wang Zhiyuan had been dragged into Zixia Temple by Huang Shengyan, where the bodies of his fellow Taoist disciples lay.

Two inner guards forced him to kneel down, with a pool of blood under his crotch. Only two steps away were three corpses. After their heads were chopped off, they rolled to the corner. One of the Taoist children, Wang Zhiyuan, saw it clearly.

That was his disciple Chen Wenxi, and also the only disciple he had before he became the imperial master.

"Kneel down, my knife is very sharp, just bear with it."

Huang Shengyan raised his knife and pointed it at Wang Zhiyuan's neck.

"Wait, wait, General Xiao, please ask the questions first. It won't be too late to kill me after you've finished asking them. I beg you!"

Wang Zhiyuan shouted, feeling extremely depressed, not knowing when he had offended this group of evildoers in the Inner Guard Palace.

At a time when the state machinery is running at high speed, this group of people is like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of all senior officials. Not to mention the powerless national teacher, even the princes with real power can be killed at will by these people.

He shouldn't have been so tough in the beginning. Now he is being bullied like this.

Xiao Qingfang remained calm and said, "You just answer whatever I ask. Remember this. You only have this one chance. If you don't answer well, I will kill you."

After that, Xiao Qingfang looked at Huang Shengyan again and said, "Hold the knife steady. When I ask you to chop, you must be quick. Don't let him get hurt."

Huang Shengyan responded expressionlessly, holding the ring-handled sword in both hands, with veins bulging on his arms.

"Oh, how dare I not tell you, I will definitely tell you nicely."

Wang Zhiyuan complained bitterly, but in his heart he was actually still thinking about going to Wu Zetian to complain after he got away.

He is now a big shot in front of Wu Zetian. Not only did he use hallucinogens to cause Wu Zetian to have nightmares every day, he also turned around and pretended to be a ghost to deceive Wu Zetian. Now he is a frequent visitor to the palace.

Just wait until Xiao Qingfang leaves, then I'll teach her a lesson!

"Listen to me."

Xiao Qingfang walked into Zixia Temple and approached Wang Zhiyuan, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on her face.

"You and Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun, who do you obey?"

Wang Zhiyuan was stunned. What kind of questions were these bitches asking?

Labeling him and He Yun as a group right from the start is simply a direct way to put him to death.

"Please understand, General, please understand. He Yun and I are only following the orders of His Majesty!" Wang Zhiyuan said with a bitter face, "What on earth happened? Please at least tell me the truth!"

"Oh, so you didn't know." Xiao Qingfang's smile became more and more weird. "Do you know that He Yun teamed up with the forces against your majesty and sent people to kill all the internal guards who knew about it. Now you are the only one who knows about it. Respected Imperial Master, if you are not in the same group with him, then you will be assassinated by him in the next two days."

"I, I, I, I, I, I, I know nothing. This matter has nothing to do with me."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with you, but I want to say...if it has nothing to do with you, then he will definitely send someone to kill you, because you are an insider." Xiao Qingfang sneered, "If he didn't send someone to assassinate you, then you are not an insider, but an accomplice."

“Ahhhhhhhh, this, this, this, am I going to die anyway?”

Wang Zhiyuan broke out in a cold sweat. He firmly believed that he must have been discovered, but the other party had no evidence.

However, even if these people in the Internal Guard House have no evidence, they have too much power and they can kill themselves just like that.

Xiao Qingfang turned to Huang Shengyan and ordered:

"Shengyan, you take a hundred inner guards to guard Zixia Temple."

"If there is no assassin to assassinate him before dawn tomorrow, you will kill him."

"If someone comes to kill him, you must capture him for me."

Huang Shengyan half lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Grand Chamberlain."

"Well, Phoenix, let's go back and report to His Majesty."

Xiao Qingfang glanced at the corpses lying on the ground and the heads rolling on the ground, and her mood suddenly became much happier.

I've been led around by the nose these days, but now I finally get my bearings.

As for the internal security, they just have to kill indiscriminately.

"Wait, I want to see the emperor!" Wang Zhiyuan shouted while kneeling on the ground.

"If an assassin comes to kill you tonight and you can still live until tomorrow, I will definitely bring you to see the emperor."

Xiao Qingfang led a group of inner guards to leave, and the inner guards who stayed here also began to clean up Zixia Temple. Yingzi put away his ring-handled sword and led the remaining inner guards to patrol Zixia Temple.

After leaving Zixia Temple, Xiao Qingfang and his subordinates came to Taichu Palace.

After speaking to the leader of the gate guards, a palace servant immediately went in to report.

Soon, Xiao Qingfang, led by two palace maids, entered Taichu Palace and arrived at Ganquan Palace.

Wu Zetian was playing with the magic weapon in her hand while asking, "Why are you looking for me so late at night? Do you have any clues?"

Xiao Qingfang knelt on one knee and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I slaughtered Zixia Temple today without an imperial decree. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian had no expression on her face and asked, "Did you kill Wang Zhiyuan?"

Xiao Qingfang said: "No."

"Since Wang Zhiyuan was not killed, there is no sin. Just kill the Taoist boy from Zixia Temple. As long as Wang Zhiyuan is alive, I am still counting on the magic weapon he will give me... But then again, why did you want to massacre Zixia Temple?"

"I followed Lord Li to investigate the case and suddenly found that this case might be related to Wang Zhiyuan. After He Yun hid himself, I had no choice but to find Wang Zhiyuan... In order to make Wang Zhiyuan tell the truth, I put some psychological pressure on him."

"Oh, so you killed all the Taoist children." Wu Zetian paused, "Then what did Wang Zhiyuan say?"

"He said he wasn't involved."
