Chapter 986: Unexpected Hit

Pei You and Gao Ying turned tohere Zu An was looking and were shocked Only now did they realize that there were already quite a few people gathered by the port where the imperial envoy was The one in the lead was precisely Sun Xun, who had left earlier

“Don’t tell me he actually dares to start trouble with the imperial envoy?” Pei You sneered They hadn’t even been all that scared of him when they were in the Hub of Freedom, let alone here where they were back on home turf

Those froance whenthose from provincial areas They were even here on the emperor’s orders and part of the imperial envoy, so there were even fewer reasons for the was a bit calet on the shi+p fro on first”

Visiting the Hub of Freedoht have come over to start a fuss None of theh, so they could just refuse to adot back on the shi+p in secret Only after they changed their clothes did they co had already received the other party Even though Sang Hong’s official post and cultivation were lower than those of the other party, his status as the imperial envoy forced Sun Xun to treat hiroup walked over and asked

Sang Hong said, “LetMinister Sir Sun This is the Eastern Palace’s chamberlain, the Armed Escort Division Commander Zu An…”

After a round of introductions, they all greeted each other in a professional uous sreat reputation My visit here today was precisely toand Pei You were alarh our identity?

Only Zu An remained calm as he replied, “Oh? I didn’t expect to have such an honor I wonder what Minister Sun needs?”

Sun Xun said, “I’ve heard that Sir Zu has solved strange cases in the capital again and again This time, there is a tricky case I need Sir Zu’s help with”

Sang Hong frowned and said, “I must ask for Minister Sun to excuse us We bear the e to be here for a short while I fear there will not be enough time to help with any local cases” He was even a bit upset, thinking to himself that this Sun Xun really didn’t understand the rules Did we come here to help you with your cases?

But Sun Xun instead calmly said, “I really did not want to trouble the imperial envoys, but ere just about to catch the cri to be from the Armed Escort Division That hy soo, and we could not continue our investigation That is also why I aroup exchanged soht to the had already roughly guessed that this was soroup had caused After all, they had left the shi+p not too long before But he was shrewd and sophisticated, not giving the three of them a look at all On the contrary, he instead asked, “Oh, was there so like that? Did Sir Sun exa individuals in the world now; there are even people who are willing to impersonate anyone” He was a wily old fox in the field of politics He pushed the hed “Our local e and experience; we do not kno to discern between the real and fake Ar the Ar has a duty to help with this investigation, right?”

“This…” Sang Hong was momentarily troubled If that really had happened, he actually did have an obligation to cooperate The very first thing he had to investigate was if any members of their envoy were involved

While he was feeling troubled, Zu An asked, “Isn’t it just a case? I don’t think it’ll take too long I’ll handle it” He obviously didn’t want things to get out of hand either It’d be really annoying if everyone else got dragged into it too He kneho the main culprit was anyway, so it wouldn’t taketrusted in Zu An’s ability and agreed, knowing he had his own plans He thus nodded and said in agreement, “That’s fine as well; let us have Ah Zu help with this case However, our ent, so we can only stay here for one ardless of whether there is a result or not, we need to leave Do you understand?”

“I’ll do as you bid!” Zu An gave hier, the hotter it was

Sun Xun cursed Sang Hong inwardly for being an old fox That fellow had said that to Zu An without consulting hiardless, as long as they illing to participate, his objective had been met

“Then I’ll have to trouble Sir Zu,” he said as he cupped his hands toward the other party

“Sir Sun is being too polite” Zu An frowned He just felt that there was so, so he reminded himself to be careful as he asked, “May I ask what kind of case it is?”

“Let us take a look at the scene of the cri the way?” Sun Xun suggested as he got up

“Sure” Zu An wasn’t too worried about the other party doing anything There were so many people who had seen Sun Xun invite hi really did happen, he wouldn’t have anywhere to run at all

Sang Hong frowned He gestured for Gao Ying, Pei You, and souards to accompany Zu An He and Zu An were allies, and because of Zu An’s relationshi+p with his daughter, he saw Zu An as his own junior He obviously didn’t want to see anything bad happen

Gao Ying and Pei You had the same intentions anyway, so they immediately followed behind Zu An with their men Zu An didn’t refuse them He had to enjoy his authority, so ould he have to play the hero and take on unnecessary risks?
