Chapter 361 [Deadly Keeping Secret](1/2)

Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao into the gate of Dan Mansion. The old housekeeper walked in front, his pace neither fast nor slow.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao. He didn't understand how Zhan Zhao fooled him, and what kind of general Shan

Zhan Zhao was also a little surprised at this time. He did fool him, but the problem was that he had successfully fooled him!

Why did Zhan Zhao fool him with the phrase "General Shan"? Because after he looked at the butler face to face, he suddenly remembered someone! Although the butler is old, he feels a little similar to that person. The so-called person... is the general who Zhan Zhao saw in his dream, who reported to the Eagle King that the leader of the cult had been taken to the execution ground.

So, Zhan Zhao suddenly had a bold idea! According to the clues provided by Lord Bao and the Grand Master before, Shan Yiren is very likely to have something to do with Shan Qiu back then. If Shan Qiu was Master Shan, and there was no one else in this house except Shan Yiren... It was the best way to cover up the people and observe them from the side as soon as possible and pretend to be a housekeeper.

Zhan Zhao quickly connected all the clues in his mind, and suddenly felt that he had straightened out a line, so... Zhan Zhao made a decision at that moment and wanted to bet.

The butler took Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to the entrance of a study room in the courtyard and knocked gently on the door.

Inside the door, a man's voice came, "Come in."

The housekeeper pushed open the door, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked in.

In the dimly lit study, a middle-aged man was sitting behind the desk. He looked up and saw the two people walking in. A look of surprise flashed across his face. He subconsciously looked at the butler beside Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Although Bai Yutang still doesn't know what Zhan Zhao's plan is, he noticed the look of this man looking at the butler. This is not the look that the master should have at the servant... There is a feeling of inquiring in this look, to put it simply... When the shadow guards are confused, Zhao Pu usually has this look.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly and realized that if the person sitting in the seat was Shan Yiren, then the butler might be Shan Qiu, the "Shan Master" who the doctor called, was indeed a very clever way to hide his purpose.

At the same time, Bai Yutang also realized what Zhan Zhao knew when he saw the housekeeper. Bai Yutang was so smart that he was almost inseparable from Zhan Zhao. He had seen almost everything Zhan Zhao saw, except... the people he saw in his dream.

So Bai Yutang remained silent and watched the changes.

Zhan Zhao turned his face and said to the housekeeper, "Sir Dan doesn't have to pretend anymore, I know everything."

At this time, the man in the study stood up.

The butler reached out, waved his hand at him, and then walked in, "Mr. Zhan..."

However, before the butler finished speaking, Zhan Zhao suddenly looked at him, "What are you calling me?"

The butler was slightly stunned.

Zhan Zhao said, "So far, except for the Qinglong incident, I am still quite full of other things you have done."

Bai Yutang did not say anything. Indeed... except Qinglong, none of the other things were targeted at the Kaifeng Prefecture, and it did not cause any harm to Yin Hou. Instead, it was always beneficial to Yin Hou.

Shan Qiu and Shan Yiren looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise.

"It's a pity that the method was used in the wrong way!" Zhan Zhao was very dissatisfied and looked at the two of them, "Why don't you ask for advice from Fusang people?"

...

Bai Yutang's heart was slightly moved. Zhan Zhao was really a big gamble. Did he win this bet or did he backfire?

Looking at the expressions of the Shan father and son, Bai Yutang understood that Zhan Zhao was right!

Shan Qiu sighed and pulled Shan Yiren to kneel beside Zhan Zhao, "Young Master...we think..."

Zhan Zhao was also mixed in his heart at this time. If he bet right, it proved that all the guesses were right. So... he also knew the mystery of his grandfather's true identity. The period of youth he and the Heavenly Lord deliberately erased, their youth in their prime was such a legendary experience. This was much more shocking than his generous admission that he was the main palace of the Demon Palace. If he really told him, it would probably be a big fuss, or even a war might be caused.

Zhan Zhao sighed, "Do you two really think I don't know what happened back then?"

The two lowered their heads.

"You two act so unauthorizedly, it may have caused my efforts to waste for so many years?" Zhan Zhao said with a stern face. "If the news is leaked or Zhao Zhen notices the mystery, how do you face your ancestors when you go down?"

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he saw Shan Qiu and Shan Yiren crawling on the ground to admit his mistake, "It's us who are good at making suggestions. We don't know that the young master had a plan..."

Shan Qiu raised his head, "Is it possible that the young master went to Kaifeng Prefecture to be an escort for a purpose?"

"Or what do you think I will be an escort?" Zhan Zhao asked back.

Dan Qiu was surprised and happy, but at the same time, he looked at Bai Yutang with some confusion.

"He is the disciple of the Heavenly Lord. You should know what this means, right?" Zhan Zhao said.

A happy expression appeared on Shan Qiu's face, "Is it not far away when the glory reappears?"

Bai Yutang sighed secretly - the glory reappeared...

Zhan Zhao continued to pretend to be his "young master". He walked to the side and sat down, raising his eyebrows at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang received a hint from Zhan Zhao to him - did he ask him to show off his character?

So the fifth master sat down next to Zhan Zhao and watched the fun.

Shan Qiu and Shan Yiren were still kneeling, not daring to get up, and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao said, "Get up and tell me all the things you have done over the years."

The father and son stood up. Dan Qiu seemed to feel that he had caused trouble and needed to show his merits. He hurriedly said, "Young Master... Although we have not understood the situation and caused some chaos, we have made a lot of preparations over the years, at least... we have saved a lot of money!"

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao was curious, "How many have you saved?"

"All the gold that Evil Yu had left for the Eagle King back then!" Dan Qiu's eyes lit up a little, and he leaned closer and whispered, "As long as Yin Hou gave the order, a million gold skeletons can become war certificates, which can overthrow the entire Zhao royal family!"

Although Zhan Zhao's face was quiet, there were almost ten thousand alpacas roaring by in his heart. He thought to himself - what? One million golden skeletons really exist? And they were saved to serve as funds for his grandfather to overthrow the Song Dynasty?! Guard Zhan was almost swearing. If this was made public, then the entire Demon Palace would wait for death without a burial place! Not only that, if the war restarted and the devastated creatures, his grandfather would have to be infamous for thousands of years...

Also shocked was Bai Yutang. Moreover, the fifth master discovered a strange place - Xie Yu raised the gold for the sake of the Eagle King? But the seven cults were eliminated by the Eagle King, was there something wrong in nǎ?

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and slapped Dan Qiu on the shoulder hard.

Shan Qiu was slightly surprised and saw Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao also looked at him, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Okay!"

Shan Qiu and Shan Yiren also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is that Fusang man?" Zhan Zhao continued to ask.

"Oh." Shan Qiudao, "Actually, this person is the descendant of You Prison!"

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned. Youprison was a famous guard who was following the Eagle King back then. In order to protect the Eagle King, he used a group of enemies to block the enemy soldiers on the battlefield. He was eventually trampled to death by thousands of horses, and his corpse was gone. Although Youprison cannot be considered a famous general, he is definitely the representative of brave generals and loyal guards. His life is the meaning of the Eagle King. It can be said that every emperor hopes to have such a loyal blood guard by his side.

"The descendants of You Prison later traveled to many places and finally crossed the ocean to Fusang, but the blood still retained the blood of guarding the Eagle King in their blood!" Shan Qiu said, "After Wu Xin was still You Prison, sometimes it was also destiny. When he encountered a shipwreck, the person who saved him was Yin Hou."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Is this... a bit weird? It is unknown whether it is true or false.

"Does Wuxin know the whereabouts of those golden skeletons?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Shan Qiu shook his head, "He doesn't know yet, I didn't tell him everything, and I'm always a little wary of him."

Zhan Zhao nodded and finally asked, "Then why did you use the Qinglong to attack me?"

Dan Qiu seemed a little disgusted, "Uh... In fact, the Eagle King and Yin Hou had great opportunities to win the world back then, but they both gave up because of some children's affair. Yin Hou even retired to the world for a woman... Alas! The Silver Demon King once predicted that Yin Hou would be lonely for a lifetime... In fact, many people don't know that this is just a half prophecy, and there is still half a follow-up!"

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "Search?"

Shan Qiu nodded, "It is Yin Hou's sharpness and the bloodline of the Eagle King on him. Only when he is lonely and helpless can he awaken! In other words, all his relatives around him must be ruined..."

Bai Yutang subconsciously touched Zhan Zhao's finger on the table, and Zhan Zhao woke up and covered the murderous aura that flashed through his eyes. At that moment, Zhan Zhao suppressed the anger that had already rushed to the top of his head, and felt his whole head buzzing.

"Who told you this?" Bai Yutang interrupted and asked. At this time, Zhan Zhao's condition was probably still fighting against the anger in his heart. In order to prevent him from revealing his feelings, Bai Yutang helped him attract attention.

"Uh, it was said by Wuxin." Shan Qiudao.

"I have a question." Zhan Zhao obviously had controlled his anger and calmed down his face and asked Shan Qiu and Shan Yiren, "How did you two know what happened back then?"

Shan Qiu took out a book from his desk, "This is recorded by my ancestors of the Shan family. The deeds of following the Eagle King back then. To be honest, the young master, there is actually no family precept at home that we want us to follow the Yin Hou to restore the reign. But I have read this book since I was a child. My biggest wish in this life is to restore the Eagle Dynasty back then! So..."

Zhan Zhao took the book and said, "Can I take it away and see?"

"Of course!" Dan Qiu nodded, "Young Master, just take it! I have already remembered it in my heart."

Zhan Zhao took the book and asked again, "We have been looking for Xie Yu for many years without clues. How did you find it?"

"Report to the young master, I told Liu Tian to make money everywhere and accidentally found a remaining branch of the Evil Yu Sect, so I got the map left by Evil Yu." Shan Qiu said, taking out a brocade box with a broken deer skin inside, "It's this one."

Zhan Zhao took the deer skin, looked at Shan Qiu in confusion, and asked, "Tell me everything, aren't you afraid that I'm a lie?"

Dan Qiu suddenly smiled and shook his head, "Young Master! Our hearts and destiny belong to the Eagle Dynasty. As long as the dynasty can be restored, we can see the glory of the day again, and we will not be afraid of death. Money and titles are just things worth mentioning. The world should not be a mediocre literati emperor like Zhao Zhen! We just want to complete the unfinished great cause!"

Zhan Zhao put away the map and booklets and asked, "Have you seen those skeletons?"

Shan Qiu nodded, "It does exist! Unless there is this map guide, no one can find it!"

Zhan Zhao felt that it was almost done, "I'll go back to discuss with my grandfather, you guys..."

"The subordinates know that we will wait for the order without moving." Shan Qiu and Shan Yiren quickly saluted.

"And," Zhan Zhao said, "Be more careful about Wuxin."

Dan Qiu looked up, "Young Master doubts his identity?"

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, "His prophecy about his grandfather's fate is false. All this has nothing to do with whether he has relatives. In addition, I need to verify whether he is a prisoner after the Youth Prison... Do you know where he is?"

"He lives on the boat, a large black ship, cruising near the dock all year round, and will leave when there is any wind and movement." Shan Qiudao, "It takes a signal to dock."

Zhan Zhao nodded, no wonder there was no news about him in Yingtian Mansion. It turned out that he was hidden so well.

Zhan Zhao stood up and patted Dan Qiu on the shoulder, "Thank you hard."

Dan Qiu seemed very excited and sent Zhan Zhao out. Before going out, he asked, "Uh... Young Master."

Zhan Zhao looked back at him.

Shan Qiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who Yin is now..."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly and glanced at him, "The descendants of the Eagle King will never change, because their bloodline will not change."
To be continued...
