"Tu Zhizhi is missing, which means she escaped before injuring Elder Yang." The words of the visitor caused a huge uproar, leaving Chang Xuewei and Jiang Xuan's minds blank.

"What's going on?" Chang Xuewei was the first to come to her senses and asked angrily.

Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes at her and said with an unpleasant expression, "He was just a messenger, how could he know what happened? We have to go find Yang Qingzhao and ask him how he arranged it."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. Chang Xuewei immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly followed him.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the village where Yang Qingzhao was stationed.

Because the matter of the blood pond was extremely important, after Chang Xuewei took Chen Changli and his wife away, Yang Qingzhao deliberately chose a village close to the blood pond to stay.

However, within just one day, he was seriously injured and Tu Zhizhi was missing. The rage in Chang Xuewei's heart was bubbling up, as if it was about to erupt like a volcano.

"Why are you here?" Yang Qingzhao felt a little embarrassed when he saw Jiang Xuan and Chang Xuewei coming. He put his hand to his lips and coughed, pretending to be confused and asked.

Chang Xuewei tried hard to keep a straight face, but her voice sounded as if she was biting her teeth, sharp and piercing.

"Why is Tu Zhizhi missing? Yang Qingzhao, what did you do? Tu Zhizhi should have died in the fire, but you had a plan, so I saved her life."

At this point, Chang Xuewei's expression eased a little, but her tone still sounded somewhat disappointed.

"I thought you would make full use of her, but she disappeared without you doing anything."

Jiang Xuan had a dark face and didn't know what to say. He could only stand aside and cheer for Chang Xuewei.

Yang Qingzhao glanced at him, and after a moment of silence, he came up with a plan in his mind, and then said, "I let Tu Zhizhi go on purpose."

"Then what happened to your injury?" Jiang Xuan was slightly surprised. "Did you deliberately get hurt by her before letting her go? Yang Qingzhao, what kind of cooperation did you reach with Tu Zhizhi? Why did she make you do this for her..."

Jiang Xuan seemed to feel that the words that were about to come out of his mouth were unpleasant to hear, so he had to swallow them back. He looked at Yang Qingzhao with a strange expression, which made her face turn red.

"Jiang Xuan, Tu Zhizhi and I are innocent." The veins on Yang Qingzhao's forehead bulged, and it was obvious that he was furious and depressed.

"I know." Jiang Xuan had a slightly obscene smile on his face. "No matter how pretty Tu Zhizhi is, she is not in your eyes. After all, there is no woman in your heart, only power and status."

Yang Qingzhao's face looked like it was covered with rouge, which was completely caused by anger.

He tried his best to calm himself and said calmly: "I released Tu Zhizhi because she told me the whereabouts of the emperor."

Hearing the word "Emperor", Chang Xuewei was shocked and puzzled: "Jiang Wanli is dead, and Tu Zhizhi has no one to use after falling into our leader's hands. How did she know the whereabouts of the emperor?"

"Yang Qingzhao, I think you are confused and you were deceived by Tu Zhizhi's sweet words."

She had been eliminating possible places where the emperor might be hiding these past two days, but had found no clues at all.

Tu Zhizhi was in a very bad situation before, and then she was trapped in the fire with Chen Changli and his wife. Even if she still had manpower available, how could they receive the news right under her nose?

"Her words are trustworthy." Yang Qingzhao swore, "After all, she served Princess An Qing before her identity was exposed."

"Princess An Qing hates the emperor even more than we thought. She knows the emperor very well, so not long after the queen died, she guessed that the queen had faked her death and even made a special investigation in Luoyang City."

"Tu Zhizhi is very trusted by Princess An Qing. She helped investigate the matter. Although there are no clues, we have a direction."

After hearing this, Chang Xuewei had no choice but to believe Yang Qingzhao.

She asked quickly: "Where is the emperor hiding now?"

Yang Qingzhao was annoyed: "Why do you care so much about the emperor? Can't you see that my wound is still bleeding?"

Chang Xuewei was choked by these words and her breathing became rapid unconsciously.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Chang Xuewei glanced at the wound on Yang Qingzhao's body and found that it had been treated. Her face suddenly darkened, "Are you kidding me?"

Yang Qingzhao shook her head hurriedly: "I dare not play tricks on you, I just want you to care about me more and stop thinking about the emperor, he is destined to die."

"Once he dies, we can use justice to suppress Tu Yuanzhou and force him to use Quanrong and Hehe to establish a new dynasty for our Xintianhui."

Yang Qingzhao said all this in one breath, looking extremely happy, as if she had the whole world in her hands and no other evil spirits were of any concern to her.

Seeing him celebrating without accomplishing his great feat, Chang Xuewei felt a sense of absurdity.

She couldn't help but sigh: "Tu Zhizhi is really eloquent. I warned you so many times just to make you be on guard against her and not be provoked by her words. I didn't expect you to fall into her trap."

"Chang Xuewei, I know you don't like Tu Zhizhi, but for the sake of profit, I believe you can let this news go." Yang Qingzhao couldn't even maintain a smile, and said in a flat tone, "Maybe your performance when facing this news is not as good as mine."

Chang Xuewei twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that she had been too gentle in the past, which was why Yang Qingzhao and others were so jealous.

"Jiang Xuan, take a look at his injuries." Chang Xuewei said gently, suppressing her anger.

"This wound only looks serious, but it's actually not a big deal. Just apply some healing medicine." Jiang Xuan's tone contained a hint of contempt.

Even a minor injury required his attention. Yang Qingzhao was really getting worse as she grew older.

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Yang Qingzhao's face suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean? Is my injury not worth mentioning?"

Jiang Xuan was quite shocked when he heard this: "Didn't you get hurt on purpose?"

"Could it be that someone helped Tu Zhizhi when she hurt you?" Chang Xuewei said in a serious tone.

"Impossible?" Jiang Xuan said very straightforwardly, "Either Tu Zhizhi's people are dead, or they are trapped in Luoyang City and turned into weirdos. How could anyone help her?"

"Where are Ye Xuan and Wei Mingzhou?" Chang Xuewei guessed one person and asked quickly.

Yang Qingzhao stared at her and said calmly, "Those two are still there, but there is no movement. It is obvious that they want to wait for Chen Changli and his wife to cause some trouble."

Chang Xuewei frowned when she heard this. If it wasn’t Ye Xuan and Wei Mingzhou, then who helped Tu Zhizhi?

"The one who came to rescue Tu Zhizhi was the Eighth Prince." Yang Qingzhao laughed, "You didn't expect it to be him, right? I also didn't expect the Eighth Prince to be willing to save Tu Zhizhi at this critical moment."

Chang Xuewei was shocked. In just a few breaths, her face changed like the weather in June, cloudy and sunny.

"Did the Eighth Prince take the wrong medicine?" Jiang Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and then his face was shocked. "He was chasing Tu Zhizhi before. If Tu Zhizhi hadn't been capable, she would have died in the hands of the Eighth Prince."

"They both want to kill each other, so why are they mixed up again? Isn't the Eighth Prince worried that Tu Zhizhi will chop off his head?"
