Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Eunuch Zhan had two bases for his judgment.

First, Nangong Yao is a man with great evil in his heart. He manipulates his disciple, who regards him as a father, like a puppet and even plots against their children. Such a cruel and heartless person cannot be expected to have any so-called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

For some purpose, he might not care about the identity of the twelfth prince Beitang Xing and kill him ruthlessly.

The second is that he possesses the secret art of stealing souls. Since he can absorb the original power of the chaotic body into his own body and sublimate himself, how can we know that he will not covet Beitang Xing’s peculiarity and use the secret art of stealing souls to attack and kill him?

Concerning the twelfth prince Beitang Xing, Eunuch Zhan actually didn’t know much at first and only regarded the little prince as a marginal figure.

At least in the inner palace and the harem, Beitang Xing was just a nobody and there was absolutely no possibility for him to get involved in the throne, so naturally no one paid attention to him.

However, after the death of the twelfth prince, Beitang Xing's rage and a series of major actions by the clan government made everyone in the inner palace and the harem realize that this twelfth prince was absolutely special, so special that both Beitang Sheng and the clan government had great expectations for him.

Especially not long after Beitang Xing's death, news spread that he was carrying the emperor's destiny and aura, and might be the key person to turn the tide for the royal family in the future. This made many people vaguely understand why Beitang Sheng and the clan government were so angry about Beitang Xing's death.

Compared to other people who can only speculate about Beitang Xing based on gossip, Eunuch Zhan is a person who has been summoned and appointed by Beitang Sheng and received accurate information.

The twelfth prince carries the emperor's destiny and aura. This is absolutely true and not false.

In other words, since Nangong Yao could plot against his two disciples for the sake of the Chaos Body, how could we know that he would not be aware of Beitang Xing's imperial destiny and aura, and become sinister again and attack him?

However, the time and place do not match Tonglie's, and Monk Huikong is constrained by the Pudu Sect behind him.

Nangong Yao is alone, his whereabouts are mysterious and no one knows him. He is indeed a huge suspect.

Since the disciples he accepted were all in the northern region, we can roughly guess that this person's movements are most likely in the north.

"This person is indeed very suspicious. I wonder if King Menglong and the Crown Prince know where this person is?"

Eunuch Zhan had never thought that the Ten Greatest Demons in the World would be the murderer, so naturally he did not start from this direction. It might be too late to start now, so he wanted to borrow Meng Zhao and Beitang He's connections and martial arts to track down this person.

Meng Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying,

“Eunuch Zhan, I am not trying to shirk responsibility, but Nangong Yao is indeed a very mysterious person. He has appeared in the northern territory several times, but he was always a senior master. He appeared as a cloud dragon, gave instructions to the younger generation, and then disappeared without a trace.

It is said that the last time he appeared was two years ago, when he appeared once in Liangzhou.

By the way, there is a martial arts grandmaster in Liangzhou now, he is Xie Wanzhi, who is from the Xie family, one of the nine surnames. He is a master of the older generation, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. Although he was defeated by Tong Lie, he should be one of the few people in the north who can discuss Taoism with Nangong Yao.

Perhaps, Eunuch Zhan can find this person and track down Nangong Yao's whereabouts."

Beitang He also nodded repeatedly. If it weren't for what Meng Zhao said, he would not have known that Nangong Yao was such a terrifying person. Of course, he would not have sent someone to pay attention to the other party's whereabouts. His mind was not as clear as Meng Zhao's!

In this matter, Eunuch Zhan had higher expectations for Meng Zhao and asked,

"Besides this person, are there any other suspects?"

Meng Zhao's expression changed and he looked embarrassed, which made Eunuch Zhan feel nervous.

"Why, King Meng Long, is there something you can't tell me?"

Meng Zhao nodded, clasped his fists towards Beitang He and said,

"Sir, would you allow me to have a few words with Eunuch Zhan in private?"

Beitang He was a little confused. Now he was your subordinate and we were all in the same boat. What was there that I shouldn't know?

But he knew very well that Meng Zhao would never do anything without a purpose. Perhaps, this was to protect himself?

While thinking, he had already left the room, leaving Meng Zhao and Eunuch Zhan alone. "It's like this, Eunuch Zhan, the next few words I say, they must not be spread to anyone else.

Even if you say I said it, I will never admit it."

Eunuch Zhan twirled the fake beard he had stuck on himself, narrowed his eyes, and felt that something was wrong. Could there be some trap?

Before he could continue thinking, Meng Zhao's next words almost sent him away.

“Speaking of suspects, I think the biggest suspect is probably the Ninth Prince who is in charge of Jizhou.

As far as I know, the Ninth Prince has an extremely overbearing temperament and is determined to take over the North for his own use, with obvious signs of separatism.

Not long ago, he sent someone to contact me, and it seemed that he wanted to recruit me.

However, Meng Zhao is paid by the emperor and must be loyal to him. The only person he is loyal to is the emperor and only the emperor. Even if he is the prince, he cannot waver in his loyalty.

However, it was also because of this that I realized that the Ninth Prince was secretly raising two powerful masters.

One of them, named Zong Shuying, was suspected to have some kind of poisonous body. He had mastered martial arts and his ability to use poison was extraordinary.

If this person takes action, perhaps he can murder the twelfth prince silently without triggering the outbreak of his protective measures."

Eunuch Zhan's lips trembled as he looked at Meng Zhao. He exerted force with his hands and with such force he actually pulled off a lot of the sticky beard.

He never thought that Meng Zhao would lead this matter to the Ninth Prince Beitang Shu.

However, it must be said that Meng Zhao's thinking is somewhat similar to his.

Although Eunuch Zhan himself did not tell anyone and did not admit it, he did doubt Beitang Shu in his heart, and even now he has not let go of his doubts.

Since ancient times, family affection in the royal family has been indifferent. In order to fight for succession and the throne, it is common for fathers and sons, and brothers to kill each other.

The Northland is exactly the base camp of the Ninth Prince.

The twelfth prince died here. Is the ninth prince really innocent, or was all this arranged by him?

Of course, Eunuch Zhan always kept his doubts and questions in his heart and never revealed them to the outside world.

It wasn't even mentioned.

The road to becoming the royal heir is extremely dangerous and thrilling.

The twelfth prince is dead, but the ninth prince is still as powerful as ever, wealthy and powerful, and is favored by the emperor.

What if I misunderstood, wouldn't I be asking for trouble and even getting killed?

Moreover, if he were to uncover this royal scandal himself, then no matter what the Ninth Prince does, his ending would definitely not be good.

So, let alone just suspicion, even if the real murderer is indeed the Ninth Prince, Eunuch Zhan has to pretend not to see it.

As for why Meng Zhao brought the matter to the Ninth Prince, Eunuch Zhan didn't know and didn't want to know.

Just as Meng Zhao said, the last conversation between the two today will never be known to any third person.

And no one would admit that they had such a conversation with each other.

It is a secret shared by both of them. (End of this chapter)
