Chapter 114: Everything Depends on Human Hands (6)
"Then we..."
"What can we do? We can only be under his surveillance here. What do you think we can do?"
Zhou Yan's tone sounded like a suppressed roar. Zuo Yu lowered his head helplessly. If it was something else, Zhou Yan could just leave or use force, but after all, it was related to Yin Yin, and the opponent was difficult to deal with, so even Zhou Yan could not act rashly.
"Hasn't that person been found yet?"
Just as Zuo Yu lowered his head in thought, Zhou Yan's voice sounded again. It was no longer as angry as before, but as cold as before. Yes, it was cold and emotionless. It was the tone that only the real Zhou Yan would have.
"……yes!"
Although Zuo Yu was somewhat excited about Zhou Yan's change of attitude, he felt helpless in answering the questions he raised, so Zhou Yan fell silent again, and Zuo Yu could see that he was in deep thought.
"My Lord, why do you have to find her?"
And at this time, Zuo Yu couldn't say this sentence. He was very curious about Zhou Yan's persistence in this matter. Until now, he didn't know Zhou Yan's thoughts, and now he brought it up again, which was really puzzling.
"You don't need to know this right now. For now, you just need to complete what you are supposed to do. Remember, don't make any mistakes."
"yes!"
Zhou Yan's cold answer made Zuo Yu feel disappointed. In the past, Zhou Yan had never concealed anything about the investigation, and he could also sense it. But this time, Zuo Yu still didn't understand the reason for the investigation. And Zhou Yan's silence, did it mean that he was disappointed in him? Zuo Yu thought about this more than once.
"How is the princess?"
"This... is still the same. I think we can ask Master Xue to take a look."
Mentioning Han Ji was another concern in Zuo Yu's mind. He still couldn't guess what kind of existence she had to Zhou Yan. He only knew that Zhou Yan would not sit idly by and watch. He originally wanted to send her back to China, but she suddenly became ill and had to stay in bed for several days without any improvement. He consulted many doctors, but all of them shook their heads. This made Zhou Yan, who was already worried about Yin Yin's affairs, even more upset.
"...Well, let's go now."
After a moment's thought, Zhou Yan nodded. He never bothered to ask anyone for anything, but for Han Ji, even if this could not be considered begging, Zhou Yan had already let go of some of his dignity and went to find Xue Han who was by Zhou Cheng's side, or Wang Ye who was by Zhao Ziheng's side. After all, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel jealous of the fact that Xue Han and Wang Ye were by Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ziheng's side.
After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zuo Yu left quickly, because he knew the implication of Zhou Yan's words to this extent, and Han Ji's condition had not improved, so he could not delay.
The posthouse where Zhou Cheng is staying.
"I think the King of Zhao is a man who should not be underestimated. Compared with the last time, his momentum this time has become even more fierce."
Shan Zhen's voice was heard in the study. He believed that Zhou Cheng must have noticed it, and he said this just to give him another reminder.
"The important thing is that what he said was just to test us."
At this time, Xue Han no longer remained silent. He took off his disguise and spoke out his thoughts, forming an inexplicable coordination with Shan Zhen.
"I know everything you said, and I'm afraid it's more than that. He is far more complicated than we thought. I said that just to warn them that they don't need to intervene in matters concerning Xia Country. However, since he was able to grasp the situation to that extent, it's conceivable that he must have grasped some other information that we don't know, so it's not difficult to understand why he tried to test us."
At this time, Zhou Cheng had completely recovered his usual calm and composed self. He understood what Shan Zhen and Xue Han were worried about, and also understood Zhao Ziheng's intentions. Zhou Cheng knew that Zhao Ziheng mentioned it only as a warning, out of good intentions, and he knew very well that Zhao Ziheng would never take action. It was just that he couldn't help but feel a little resistant when Zhao Ziheng said that. No one wants outsiders to interfere in the affairs of their country.
"Speaking of this, I never thought that something like this would happen, but what reason did Queen Xia have to kill the princess?"
Shan Zhen and Zhou Cheng also cared about Xue Han's words, and they couldn't understand them either. The only thing was that they believed that Zhao Ziheng was not lying. Although they had different positions, they would not believe that Zhao Ziheng wanted to sow discord between the two countries. If it was someone unexpected to Zhao Ziheng, they might not believe it.
"...In any case, the Xia Kingdom incident has been going on for more than a day or two. Shan Zhen, send a message to the spies in Xia Kingdom and ask them to further investigate the matter..."
"Yes, sir."
Shan Zhen immediately accepted Zhou Cheng's instructions, but he did not leave immediately.
"Also, how is the investigation going?"
"After that stopped, there was no clue. It was like it was cut off all of a sudden."
"So, the incident was interrupted along with the clues?"
"You could say that."
After hearing about Shan Zhen's ordeal, Zhou Cheng fell into deep thought. Xue Han knew a little about what Zhou Yan mentioned, but because he was entangled in other things, he was still a little confused. So after seeing Zhou Cheng fall into deep thought, an idea came to Xue Han's mind.
"Your Majesty, do you think that incident is related to this series of events?"
Zhou Cheng nodded in response. For them now, basically everything is possible. Everything depends on human efforts. Nothing is impossible. The only thing they don’t understand is what they don’t understand.
