Xiao Anzi, should I keep you?

The Empress's question had pushed Zhou An to a very dangerous situation. The direction of Zhou An's life was ups and downs, and it was completely in the empress's thoughts.

Once the empress decides, she will make a decision!

Zhou An was very worried that the empress would be impulsive, and made wrong decisions because of her mood, suspicion, etc.

"Master, whether the slave stays in the Great Inner or leaves can only be decided by the Master!" Zhou An did not say whether he should stay or leave, because no matter what he said, it was wrong!

He said he would leave, and he would really leave. The empress would definitely not be able to keep him.

But if he said he would stay, what was his mind and what would the empress have to guess?

"However, please ask the emperor to give the slave a chance!" Zhou An said quickly again, not giving the empress a chance to speak.

"What opportunity?" the empress stared at Zhou An and asked.

"Can you wait until the slave returns from the five states before you make a decision!" Zhou Anlian said, "Master, slaves are guilty, and slaves deserve to die. They should not hide from you and deceive you. However, slaves also hope that you can give them a chance to atone for their merits and atone for their sins... The situation in the five states is critical, and King Yunsu may raise an army at any time, and the foundation of the country is shaken. However, slaves have been sent to deploy in the five states for some time, and they cannot be wasted all their efforts!"

"So, please give the slave some time and let the slave go to the five states and the Yunyue Kingdom first. The slave will do his best to kill Prince Su. If the slave can come back alive, please ask the master to decide!"

I still have to go to the five states.

But the meaning is different.

This became Zhou An’s “excusation”.

The empress was discovered too suddenly, and the empress was very uneasy. When she was not calm, she might make any decision without being controlled by anyone.

Therefore, Zhou An wants to give her time to calm down and to make her think carefully.

At the same time, Zhou An also gave himself time.

Giving himself time to make greater contributions, he wants to make himself more important, so important that the empress thinks that Dong Qian will not do if he leaves him!

It is very important to give the empress a sense of security.

Zhou An originally planned to kill King Yunsu. After that, he could intervene in solving the rebellion in the Five Prefectures, and intervene in solving the problem. If he could not, he would return to the capital as soon as possible.

But now, he has changed his mind.

He must return to the capital with enough glory! If he can successfully assassinate King Yunsu, it will be a great contribution, and it will shock the world, and that will be the supreme glory.

But Zhou An felt that it was not enough.

So, he might do something else.

The empress is silent.

a long time.

"Okay! Let you complete the task first!" The empress got up again, walked closer to Zhou An, and looked straight into Zhou An's eyes, "Xiao Anzi, I'm waiting for you to come back!"

After saying that, the empress shook her sleeves and left.

Kou Dong'er followed the empress and hurried out.

They left.

Zhou An watched them go out, watched the eunuchs outside close the door again, sensed their breath away, and finally... he sat down and breathed a long sigh.

A feeling of "escape".

Zhou An didn't know if there was any problem with this attitude and such a way to temporarily solve this matter. He was very confused.

The Empress is his inner demon, which has affected his IQ!

Three days later.

The war-torn Yuezhou.

Although it is still spring, Yuezhou is in the south, so it has begun to be hot. There are many evergreen vegetation here, green mountains and clear waters. If you only look at the scenery, it is very beautiful.

Yueshui County, among the undulating mountains, a long river is like a silver dragon winding. This river is called Yunshui River, which flows down from Yueshui Mountain and is surging for hundreds of miles.

On the Yunshui River, a black-sailed boat swam with the waves.

The sun was extremely hot and dazzling at noon, and the river surface was much cooler. The young man in a blue robe lay on his back on the head of the bed with a hat on his face, as if he was taking a nap.

The servant in blue knelt aside, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, and was fanning the young master in blue.

Pick! Pick!

A fierce sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the river bank, getting closer and closer. The servant in green looked up and saw a group of people running wildly along the forest path.

"Young master, someone is here." The servant in green lowered his head and said femininely.

"Yes!" The young master in blue responded with a nasal voice, a little lazy.

River bank.

The group of people stopped, and a dozen people were all wearing casual clothes and hats. At the front was a petite woman in a white dress, carrying a sword box and also wearing a hat.

All the staff dismounted.

The woman in white dress rose up, walked on the water, flew dozens of feet, like a fairy, passing by the lake, turning over and landing on the bow of the boat.

"I'm not here to see the factory!" The woman in white dress took off her hat, knelt on one knee and said with her head down.

The young man in blue picked up some of the hat, tilted his head and looked at the woman in white dress, and smiled and said, "Xiao Kui!"

"Young Master." Bai Xiaokui called out again, her expression seemed to be the respectful look of her subordinates towards Shangguan, but her eyes were not.

Bright and lively.

Very happy and a little excited.

Some days I haven't seen Zhou An, but Bai Xiaokui didn't expect that Zhou An would actually come here in person.

"Little Guizi, go." Zhou An sat up and said to the servant in green next to him.

"Yes!" Xiaoguizi took the order and flew away.

With his light skills, he walked on the water, and the little Guizi went to the river bank.

The little Guizi, named Changgui, is just fifteen years old this year and has entered the innate realm. He has made breakthroughs by himself, not by external forces.

He can be called a genius. As the chief supervisor of the big inner court, Zhou An naturally cannot escape his eyes with such a genius in the palace.

In fact, Zhou An had already discovered him.

When the East Factory was first established, Xiao Guizi was selected to the East Factory to be responsible for information sorting. Later, Xiaotingzi trusted him and became Xiaotingzi's right-hand man.

This time Zhou An left Jing, and brought a few people, and Xiao Guizi was one of them.

Xiaotingzi was not brought, because Zhou An was worried about handing over the affairs of the East Factory to others, so Xiaotingzi could only be temporarily in charge, and there were also several old eunuchs to assist.

So now the one who is following Zhou An is Xiao Guizi.

Only Zhou An and Bai Xiaokui were left on the black-sailed boat.

"Xiao Kui, what step has you been going now? What is the situation of the war in Yuezhou? There is also the Virgin Land of the Virgin. I can contact you recently and talk to me in detail..." Zhou An stood up and said.

"Young Master, at present..." Bai Xiaokui began to report to Zhou An.

She has been away from Beijing for half a month. The secret detectives in Yuezhou and other five states were basically washed away by her. Anyone with problems lost their lives. She promoted and recruited some people, and even found some people from the world. Although she was not a master, it was very useful!

In fact, secret scout guards do not need strong people. Collecting intelligence has nothing to do with the military value. Whether it can penetrate, whether it will disguise, or whether it can get along with important targets is the key.

The one who needs the strong is Dongchang.

And the situation in Yuezhou...at present, it can be said that it is not optimistic.

Five days ago, the main force of the Five Prefectures Army was defeated and lost tens of thousands of people. Although Hu Yanjin promptly gathered the remaining troops and dispatched other troops to gather, the Pure Land Sect riot troops temporarily retreated.

However, due to injuries, low morale and other issues, the Five Prefecture Army seems to be unable to destroy the Pure Land Sect riot army.

Although it was a group of mobs and the weapons and equipment were not complete, the troops had expanded to 150,000!

The Five Prefectures Army removed all the wounded soldiers, leaving only 60,000 troops.

The chaotic army became stronger and stronger, and the five states were getting weaker and weaker.

One rises and the other falls.

Actually, normally... the court's 60,000 troops and 200,000 soldiers and riots composed of poor people are not a problem! Even 300,000 can be fought!

It was dispersed in a fight!

However, the military forces in the court were abnormal.

Zhou An knew how serious the corruption in the army was, not to mention that he had investigated it.

Military discipline is scattered, the problem of empty salary is serious, lack of training and other problems... Although this kind of army is strong in chaos, it is still limited in strength.

Of course, no matter how big the military is, it is a regular army after all.

If King Yunsu hadn't caused trouble from it, the Pure Land Sect's chaos would have been destroyed long ago.

"Have you found out who the leader of the chaos army is?" Zhou An asked.

"I found it...Young Master, don't you know?" Bai Xiaokui was stunned, very surprised.

"Hmm?" Zhou An was also stunned, "When did you find it? Why... no one told me?"
To be continued...
