C6 The Dark Tide Is Surging

"This official discovered that the seven guards in front of His Highness' study and the two guards in the study were not harmed by one person" Shen Qingfeng's tone was gentle as he spoke unhurriedly.

"There were indeed two assassins at that time." Zhou Jun nodded.

Shen Qingfeng heard this and opened his half-closed eyes to look at Zhou Jun. He did not seem to think that Zhou Jun would give such a straightforward answer. He did not even argue with him and pretended to be sincere.

However, he only took one look and then returned to normal. "Then why didn't His Highness King Lin say it clearly first?"

"I was afraid you would think too much." Zhou Jun said with an expressionless face.

"Uh..." The corner of Shen Qingfeng's mouth twitched. What you did made them think even more.

"Just tell them the truth. They will know anyway." After all, the mysterious man wasn't dead yet.

This was something Zhou Jun had thought about during his free time during the day. He had been so panicked last night and had just killed someone. He did not have the time to think about so many things. He had been thinking about things for the rest of his life and had hidden the mysterious man.

Now that he had seen the stack of papers sent by the Six Fans Sect, he understood that the mysterious man's existence couldn't be hidden. Therefore, he might as well reveal it openly.

Coincidentally, Shen Qingfeng had sent over a ladder. Then he would use the ladder to walk down.

Furthermore, he had no intention of becoming the emperor.

The position of a prince was already a mess, let alone the throne.

However, in the current situation, it seemed like only he had the qualifications to become the emperor.

"I wonder if Your Highness King Lin... knows that person?" Shen Qingfeng pretended to think about it, but in reality, he spoke bluntly.

"If I were to get to know him, would I let him kill the guards who were with me all day long?" Zhou Jun stared at Shen Qingfeng and leaned forward.

However, Shen Qingfeng did not feel the slightest pressure and maintained his original gentle tone. "Did His Highness kill him?"

"Yes, so what?" Zhou Jun looked at Shen Qingfeng with a burning gaze.

"This official will only call His Highness' martial arts powerful. He will not dare to say anything about it." Shen Qingfeng lowered his posture slightly.

"Yes." Zhou Jun nodded and leaned back on the hard chair again.

This conversation would definitely fall into the ears of the Office of Royal Affair, the inner pavilion, and the Empress Dowager. There were two experts of the royal family standing outside the study room. They were sent by Office of Royal Affair to protect Zhou Jun, but everyone understood. This was to protect and monitor him.

But Zhou Jun didn't care, he didn't care at all.

Fine, he cared. He wasn't some old monster that had lived for thousands of years. If he could really see that he was being watched, he would only be twenty-three years old in his two lifetimes. He was the same age as his current body and did not have much maturity. At most, he only had some experience in fishing at work. Other than that, he only had the experience of playing games after work.

However, he had to endure it now. His Unparalleled Inferno Wave Cannon was only level one. A person who had just been hammered to death might be cut into pieces by a group of people, so he had to endure for the time being. When he could punch the Shenzhou and Lu Chen one by one, he would let this world go.

As for this Shen Qingfeng, he might be asking for directions.

He was the Divine Catcher of the Six Fans Sect, and the Six Fans Sect was under the command of the Emperor. Zhou Jun was also King Lin, who had a 99% chance of ascending the throne, so he might be trying to find out what was going on.

He was also a divine arrest, so there was no need for him to grovel and beg Zhou Jun to take him in. Therefore, he was confident in his current attitude.

"Did the divine arrest discover anything else?" Zhou Jun's words were to chase them away.

However, Shen Qingfeng still had no intention of leaving. "This official has found something."

"Tell me." There were so many bullsh * t.

"This official found this." Shen Qingfeng took out a black jade stone from his sleeve with his left hand.

The jade stone was the size of a thumb, and it was tied up by a red ribbon.

"This is?" Zhou Jun could not understand what this jade meant.

"Your Highness, this is the West Sea's Cold Jade. It was picked from the bottom of the ocean vein in the West Sea. It has the effect of cultivating Yin skills." Shen Qingfeng's tone became faster this time.

"Cultivating the Yin skill?" Zhou Jun still did not quite understand.

"For those who cultivate Yin skills, if this jade is placed in their heart meridians, it can increase their effectiveness by ten percent. Furthermore, Yin skills are even purer." Shen Qingfeng gave a simple explanation.

"Then this jade is quite precious." Zhou Jun could not make an expression on his face, but his tone made people feel like he did not want to eat minced meat.

"Your Highness, this jade is not common in the Ming Dynasty. It is rare even in the Great Zhou of West Sea. The Cold Jade Vein is hidden at the bottom of the ocean thousands of feet below the West Sea. Even the top experts of the Jianghu would not be able to reach the bottom of the ocean even if they put on a yak raincoat. Therefore, most of the Cold Jade was actually picked up by someone on the shore by the undercurrent of the West Sea. And most of these Cold Jade were only the size of a thumb. It was as big as this piece of Cold Jade in the West Sea... Extremely rare. " Shen Qingfeng explained slowly.

After Zhou Jun heard this, his gaze towards the black jade in Shen Qingfeng's palm changed greatly.

"En..." Compared to this Golden Silk South Wood Table? Zhou Jun didn't ask the question that he wanted to ask. If he asked this question, it would be a bit shameful, so he hid it for now and would investigate another day.

"Where did you find this in the prefecture?" Zhou Jun asked after pondering for a while.

Shen Qingfeng waited patiently for Zhou Jun to speak for half a minute.

"Your majesty, this piece of West Sea's Cold Jade was found in the garden and pavilion." Shen Qingfeng replied.

"In the pavilion? Does that mean there was someone hiding in the pavilion last night?" Zhou Jun guessed.

In fact, it was most likely left behind by the mysterious person. Maybe he wanted to leave a clue to mislead the explorer, or maybe he accidentally left it behind.

Of course, it was also possible that there was another person hidden in the pavilion at that time.

"It's possible." Shen Qingfeng did not make a bold guess.

"You mean this jade is not owned by Ming Dynasty, but by Great Zhou?" Zhou Jun once again crushed Shen Qingfeng's previous explanation in his heart, and then grasped the main point of his words. He asked again, "That is to say, the assassination last night was related to Great Zhou?"

"There is an 80% chance." Shen Qingfeng replied.

That matter last night was even more complicated, and the clues were getting more and more messy.

"What's the other 20%?" Zhou Jun didn't mind having a fight with Shen Qingfeng.

"Not sure yet." Shen Qingfeng lowered his head.

... "" I don't know what else you are going to say.

"But the official will conduct an in-depth investigation and report to His Highness if there are any results." Shen Qingfeng crossed his arms and issued a small military order.

This sentence basically showed Shen Qingfeng's position. He was willing to stand on Zhou Jun's side and support him to ascend to the throne.

"Alright." Zhou Jun nodded.

"Then I will continue to investigate." Shen Qingfeng said again.

"Go." Zhou Jun waved his hand.

After that, Shen Qingfeng bowed again and left the study.

As soon as Shen Qingfeng left the study, a sense of pity arose in Zhou Jun's heart.

He forgot to ask Shen Qingfeng for that piece of jade. Even if he could not keep it, he could still touch it and experience the so-called supreme treasure of the martial arts world, the West Sea's cold jade.
