Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

Zhou Chen has always believed in the theory of life choice.

If you make the right choices in those important choices in life, everything will be smooth sailing from now on.

Zhou Chen was able to climb from a refugee child to his current position step by step.

The biggest and most correct choice Zhou Chen has made in the past few years is probably to express his loyalty to the Third Young Master in advance when he was still in his "trail".

Although Zhou Chen didn't get any practical benefits in the first year, he was even assigned to perform dangerous tasks on the northern frontline.

But making the right choice always pays off.

Because the third young master is the son of the prime minister after all.

After being able to practice, the young master's status will reach the sky in one step.

And he, the "Conglong Minister", naturally caught up with him.

After the Barbarian War ended, Zhou Chen immediately received the transfer document for his contribution in the war.

From a casual guest minister, he was transferred to be the leader of the Black Scale Guard branch in Zhenxi Mansion.

There is an extremely complete merit evaluation system in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

During the Barbarian War, his most glorious moment was probably when he entered the enemy camp alone on the eve of the Battle of Beifeng and fought with the Confucians to complete the negotiation task assigned to him by the Third Young Master.

This matter is very important and was a very important part of the Third Young Master's plan.

But it's important, and all the credit for the matter belongs to the Third Young Master.

He, Zhou Chen, is just an executor, and executors are often the least valuable.

Because the replaceability is too high.

The stage has been set up by the Third Young Master. According to the average standard of the prime minister's guest ministers, the result will be the same if someone else is used.

According to the Keqing examination rules, his achievements should only be enough to raise his salary by one level, and then he would receive a large amount of "risk subsidy", and then there would be nothing more.

Therefore, when Zhou Chen received the secret transfer letter, he was a little confused.

After thinking about it, I finally realized that this was the Third Young Master's effort.

Otherwise, given the independent status of the Black Scale Guard in the Prime Minister's Palace, it would be basically impossible for him, an ordinary guest minister, to be transferred there, let alone directly serve as the director of the state capital.

After coming to this town in Xifu for nearly a year, Zhou Chen has also adapted to life in Black Scale Guard.

When doing intelligence, you need to keep three points in mind.

Cautious, ruthless, and humane.

After getting familiar with the relevant business, Zhou Chen, who worked his way up from the bottom, immediately found himself in this position.

After he secured his position, the Blackscale General Secretary directly approved a Grade A mid-level Kung Fu book for him, and his salary was tripled from the original basis. In addition, Zhenxifu Secretary With this position, you can usually make a lot of reasonable money without violating the bottom line.

With the no longer shortage of training resources and the new high-level skills, Zhou Chen's cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, began to show signs of breakthrough.

everything is fine

"Mr. Zhou, please sit down."

The indifferent voice suddenly brought Zhou Chen back to his senses.

At some point, he had entered the carriage again.

The unfamiliar-looking young man in brocade robes in front of him was staring at him indifferently.

When it broke, the revolving lantern scared him out of his mind.

Being close to the desert, Zhenxi Prefecture has a huge temperature difference between day and night, and the weather gets hotter at noon.

But today's rising sun had just risen from the east, and Zhou Chen already felt a little sweaty.

His throat rolled up and down, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty.

Then,

Zhou Chen bent his legs and knelt directly on the car carpet without sitting down, twitching the corners of his mouth:

"Third Young Master, are you alive?"

"." Xu Yuanmu looked surprised and raised his finger to point at himself.

Do you want me to die?

"." Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen wanted to shave his own ears.

Isn't his old man very clever with his words? Why can't he say anything right now?

No matter what, the words have been spoken after all, so I can only find a way to make up for it.

Xu Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze at this moment, opened the secret letter in his hand, and asked casually:

"Long time no see, why have you become so timid?"

Zhou Chen immediately said with a smile:

"I'm just a little surprised that you trust Mr. Zhou."

He is not timid. As a strong master, he has been able to look down on most people in the world. However, after entering the Black Scale Guards, he truly realized the supreme power in the hands of the Third Young Master that could determine life and death.

With such a gap in status, he naturally didn't dare to play tricks.

While thinking about it, Zhou Chen bowed solemnly:

"I offended you just now, I hope you will forgive me."

"There's nothing offensive about that."

Xu Yuan's voice was smiling, with a hint of ridicule: "Haven't you always been like this since the first time we met?"

Because of his grassroots experience, Zhou Chen, Grandmaster Zhou, developed strong abilities, but it also created his bad habits.

The front is strong and the back is respectful, and the speed of light slides to the knees.

Zhou Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the secret letter in Xu Yuan's hand, and quietly changed the subject:

"Young Master is right, but you have important things to do here, right? If you want to know any news, Zhou should be able to help."

Xu Yuan did not respond, but quietly read the secret letter in his hand.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen could only kneel down and wait eagerly.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Xu Yuancai frowned and cast his gaze on Grandmaster Zhou:

"Are you now the director of the Xifu Department of Black Scale Guard Town?"

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered for a moment and he nodded:

"right."

Xu Yuan burned the letter casually, his eyes were a little strange, he didn't see what he wanted in it, and asked:

"Is this the only important information here?"

Zhou Chen hesitated slightly and asked softly:

"Sir, what do you want? The content of the letter is limited. Master Mu Qing only summarized the most important information, and there may be some omissions."

Mu Qing, the director of the Blackscale Guards' General Department in Xizezhou and Zhou Chen's immediate boss.

Xu Yuan leaned back slightly and leaned on the soft couch, frowned and murmured:

"It's impossible to miss such an important matter, but the Black Scale Guards haven't received any news."

Zhou Chen asked tentatively:

"Master, why don't you talk to Zhou?"

Xu Yuan snorted lightly, his eyes dark:

"Yesterday, a "good friend" told me that Li Junwu captured the Desert Goddess alive, but they both disappeared together after that."

"."

The air suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Chen's drooping eyes widened slightly, and his brain shut down for a moment.

He remembered that Li Junwu seemed to be the princess of Zhenxi Mansion, and the goddess was the second king of the Tachao people.

After realizing their identities, Zhou Chen suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart.

With such a huge change, the Black Scale Guards did not receive any news.

After a moment of pause, Zhou Chen lowered his head:

"My subordinates have neglected their duties, please take responsibility for me."

"This is none of your business."

Xu Yuan directly interrupted Zhou Chen.

For the Blackscale Guards, this is indeed the most serious dereliction of duty, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

The Great Flame is too big. With limited resources, the layout direction of the Black Scale Guards will inevitably be tilted. It is impossible to take care of every continent in a balanced manner, and Xizezhou happens to be the weakest one in the Black Scale Guards' intelligence network. State capital.

But then the whole thing becomes weird.

Although the Black Scale Guards have no resources in Zhenxi Mansion, they are still a lean camel bigger than a horse. The matter of Li Junwu has been covered up so tightly by the Tatar Chao people and the Zhenxi Mansion. The Mu Chamber of Commerce can understand the inside story through the relationship with the Zhenxi Mansion. Yuan Dao can understand it, but why can Mu Xingyi know about this?

His mother was not well-liked, and she herself was reduced to the point of being assassinated in the family feud, so she should not be qualified to know about this matter.

and,

Under such a strict confidentiality level, Mu Xingyi simply told him

Why?

His mind was spinning, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly condensed, and he asked:

"Mr. Zhou, are you investigating the Mu Chamber of Commerce?"

Zhou Chen quickly flashed relevant information in his mind and replied in a low voice:

"Of course, the Mu Chamber of Commerce, as the largest chamber of commerce in West Zezhou, is one of our important layout directions. The intelligence network framework within it has been initially completed and should be able to help the young master."

Xu Yuan nodded, raised two fingers, and said slowly:

"Two questions.

"First, what is Mu Xingyi's status in the Mu Chamber of Commerce? He said that he was not favored, but he knew such important information.

"Secondly, he went to Monan for business and encountered several waves of monsters. Who within the Mu Chamber of Commerce wants him dead now?"

"Son."

After listening carefully, Zhou Chen was silent for a moment, leaned forward slightly, and asked tentatively in a low voice:

"The Mu Xingyi you mentioned is a member of the collateral clan?"

"."Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan frowned little by little and exhaled softly:

"Mr. Zhou, do you think I'm talking about the Mu clan again?"

Zhou Chen opened his mouth, with cold sweat on his forehead, and said bravely:

"...but there is no legitimate son of the Mu family named Mu Xingyi."

pseudonym?

Xu Yuan reacted immediately and then reported several characteristics of Mu Xingyi:

"He is pale, as if he has been ill for a long time. He is six feet tall, thin and has a hooked nose, thin lips and peach blossom eyes. He has a leisurely and world-weary temperament."

After listening carefully, Zhou Chen searched carefully in his mind several times, and shook his head in despair.

He started showing off.

It was not easy to meet the third young master once.

First he behaved rudely, and now he doesn't even know anything about his job.

Hahaha, you're done!

In the dead silence of the carriage,

Bai Muxi, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly spoke at this moment, with a clear voice:

"Mr. Zhou, who is the leader of the Mu family's caravan that left the city this morning?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he immediately raised his eyes.

Yes, he and Mu Xingyi rode through the city on a horse early this morning.

His eyes were locked on Zhou Chen and he said:

"Today at Chenshi, I rode with him through the city at the front of the motorcade. You Black Scale Guards should have eyes on him, right?"

"I do have some eyeliner."

Being stared at by two eyes, Zhou Chen subconsciously raised his hand and touched his unshaven chin, let out a light "hiss", and then whispered:

"The leader of the Mu's caravan is a shopkeeper named Di Tong. He is a fat man."

Speaking of which,

Zhou Chen glanced at Xu Yuan and said cautiously:

"As for the person who rides with you.

"Didn't you ride through the city alone this morning?"

"."

There was a moment of silence.

Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, grinned, and his voice was smiling, but with a hint of anger:

"Zhou Chen. I don't know, and I don't want to know what you did after being transferred to Zhenxi Mansion, but you can't do the most basic eyeliner at the city gate. Isn't it a little too much?"

"Coco, this is what I saw with my own eyes."

Zhou Chen looked at Xu Yuan with an expression as if he was crying, and explained anxiously:

"Master Mu Qing gave an order to hand over important matters. After the curfew, I immediately came to stay nearby and didn't see anyone riding with you at all."

There was silence in the carriage. After Zhou Chen wrote down the message that the young master asked to be delivered to Di'an City, he left uneasily. Before leaving, he did not forget to respectfully close the door.

Xu Yuan lowered his eyebrows, slowly exhaled a breath, and glanced at Bai Muxi beside him:

"Mu Xi, what do you think about this?"

Bai Muxi frowned gracefully, and her voice was hesitant:

"The Mu Xingyi Qi and blood have been depleted but the cultivation of the soul is limited. Even if the skill is special, it is impossible to hide it from Mr. Zhou's prying eyes, but Mr. Zhou has no reason to lie to you on this matter.

"So, either Mu Xingyi's cultivation is extremely advanced and he deceived us all, or he has a strange treasure in his body."

"But what's the purpose?"

"Hmm, could it be that he discovered your identity, Master?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

Xu Yuan had a strange expression on his face and pointed at the brand new human skin mask on his face and the brocade robe on his body.

The clothes he is wearing and the human skin mask he is wearing are both modified from the soul-escaping suit revealed by Emperor Xion.

This thing couldn't even be locked by a powerful saint like his uncle Feng Jiuxuan, let alone penetrated and probed.

Shaking his head slightly, Xu Yuan drove towards the city gate with the Yuanqi Controller Car and said softly:

"I recalled the past half month. Apart from us, in this huge caravan, only the fat shopkeeper named Di seemed to have spoken directly to Mu Xingyi."

Bai Muxi glanced out the window and asked tentatively:

"Are we going to find them?"

"boom!"

Xu Yuan raised his hand and struck Xiao Bai on the head with a sharp knife, and glared at her:

"The bandit spirit is too strong. It was like this in the ancestral land of the Feng family. They would kill at every turn before the situation was clear. But as a result, those two geniuses are loyal to my prime minister. The situation is not yet clear, so don't kill at every moment."

Saying that, Xu Yuan sighed faintly:

"So far I haven't seen any hostility from Mu Xingyi, only a friendly reminder that it doesn't matter, so let him be for now."

Bai Muxi hesitated slightly:

"But what if he is hiding hostility?"

"hostility?"

Xu Yuan grinned, spread his hands, and said:

"Didn't I just ask Zhou Chen to send a message to Di'an City? If there is a conflict, then we will each use our own methods to fight in Qianji Gorge. Anyway, with the terrain of Qianji Gorge, the military formation cannot be deployed. "

After saying that, Xu Yuan took a long breath and said with a smile:

"Take a Dragon Transformation Essence, but I didn't expect that the Qianji Gorge would be so lively. Mu Xi, maybe you can see the Holy Lady again this time."

"Lord Saint?"

"Well, the secret letter Zhou Chen gave me just now said that Su Jinxuan took Tian Yan into Qianji Gorge."

"."

As soon as he finished speaking, King Juan, who was practicing quietly on the side, suddenly raised his eyes when he heard the words, his dark eyes filled with a little vigilance.

Xu Yuan was selectively blind, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Bai's slender waist:

"Okay, get up and drive, I want to take a nap."
