Chapter 65: Appearance is the same but the soul is different

But Dali Temple is not as peaceful as this.

Pei Youxi came back from the palace that night and sat quietly in Dali Temple waiting for news about Zhu Xiaoyuan.

He sent so many people to guard the palace gate, and he would not let her escape easily.

But by the time dawn came, Zhu Xiaoyuan had not returned yet.

Instead, someone came to report the crime, and dozens of corpses were found outside the palace city. Judging by their clothing, they were from Dali Temple.

Pei Youxi suddenly felt something bad and went there in person. What he saw was the bloody scene of his men being slaughtered all over the ground.

A chill rose from the soles of his feet. Zhu Xiaoyuan's martial arts was the strongest in Dali Temple, so he sent him to carry out this mission, but now...

He tremblingly explored Zhu Xiaoyuan's breath.

Still alive.

"Quick, save people!"

Zhu Xiaoyuan was in a coma for three days before waking up.

Pei Youxi went to visit in person.

Sitting on the edge of the cave, he asked about what happened that night.

Zhu Xiaoyuan's face was pale and bloodless. He was half-leaning on the couch and said in a hoarse voice, "It's Ren Sang."

"Ren Sang?" Pei Youxi frowned, "Why did he appear there?"

Accept Tang Xi?

He carefully considered the assassination of the emperor and did not arrange an escape route for Tang Xi.

There was no need for Ren Sang to pick her up.

"Sir," Zhu Xiaoyuan looked at him, thought for a long time, and finally said, "let's not investigate Tang Xi anymore."

Pei Youxi frowned and looked at him, "Why?" After a pause, "Did Ren Sang threaten you?"

Zhu Xiaoyuan shook his head, "Ren Sang left his subordinates alone to tell you something. If you investigate Tang Xi again, he will have to deal with the young master far away in the north."

"This is unreasonable!" Pei Youxi clenched his fists, "You are so arrogant!"

Dare you threaten him?!

"I want to investigate! Two hundred thousand troops in the north can't protect my son?!" Pei Youxi's face was full of anger. As the minister of Dali Temple, this was the first time he had been threatened like this, and the opponent still didn't have a hair on his face.

boy.

Ridiculous!

Zhu Xiaoyuan was as angry as Pei Youxi at first when he heard this threat, but after three days of coma, he also figured it out, "Sir, these people are pervasive. There is an army of 200,000 in the north. I'm afraid they can't stop them. For the sake of the young master, we must do our best to stop them."

It’s better to err on the side of caution.”

Pei Youxi gritted his teeth and his neatly trimmed beard trembled with anger.

Zhu Xiaoyuan comforted him: "Sir, please don't lose your sense because of this matter. Think about it carefully. Ren Sang only asked us not to inquire about Tang Xi anymore, but he didn't pay attention to other people. He knew that we were investigating Yongye Pavilion, but he said this

, does it mean..."

"He doesn't care about the life and death of other people in Yongye Pavilion. In other words, he is not loyal to Yongye Pavilion or its master."

Pei Youxi calmed down, thought carefully, and his eyes brightened.

God is really helping me.

The master of Yongye Pavilion has deep grudges. Even the future master of the pavilion, the current Master Yanmen, is alien to him.

His mood became brighter and he patted Zhu Xiaoyuan on the shoulder, "You have a good rest, recover from your injuries and return to the team. Let's investigate Yongye Pavilion from bottom to top."

"What about Tang Xi?" Zhu Xiaoyuan asked.

Pei Youxi touched his beard and said, "Ren Sang told us such big news. As a return of favor, Tang Xi stopped investigating."

Zhu Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and smiled. The master was obviously worried that his son would have an accident in the north, so he spoke harshly.

Pei Youxi stood up and prepared to leave, "Oh, by the way, you said you only saw the prince's carriage leaving the palace?"

"Yes," Zhu Xiaoyuan nodded, recalling that night, "My subordinates were preparing to lead people to rush forward, when Ren Sang came."

Pei Youxi stroked his beard thoughtfully.

Prince?

Tang You.

He smiled coldly, really looking down on this kid.
