Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 85 I hope that person can lead out the owner of the Blood Cloud Tower

In the dead of night.

Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.

Wu Wanrong lay on her side on the couch with her eyes closed. A maid stood behind her, gently massaging her temples.

At this moment, Li Qingluan entered the hall. After hearing Li Qingluan's footsteps, Wu Wanrong said indifferently, "What's the matter?"

Li Qingluan said, "Yuezhi has received news that King Xiaoyao plans to leave the capital tomorrow to inspect the manor."

Hearing this, Wu Wanrong opened her eyes and looked at Li Qingluan.

After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Send someone to keep an eye on him, and have Xiao Shan come to Weiyang Palace."

Wu Wanrong believed that many people already knew about this matter, and once Lu Ming left the capital, he would definitely be assassinated.

Who knows, the killer from the Blood Cloud Tower might be lured out too.

After this period of investigation, they have found out some transactions between the Zhang family and the Blood Cloud Tower, and they also found the original hiding place of the Blood Cloud Tower.

However, when their people went to investigate the hiding place of the Blood Cloud Tower, they found that the people from the Blood Cloud Tower had already left.

Fortunately, they only investigated secretly and did not alert the enemy. If they sent troops to besiege the hiding place of the Blood Cloud Tower from the beginning, not only would they fail to catch anyone, but they would also disturb the people in the Blood Cloud Tower. At that time, it would be even more difficult to capture the owner of the Blood Cloud Tower.

Now Xiaoyao Palace has announced that it has a master-level expert. If Xueyun Tower still wants to assassinate Lu Ming, it will definitely send a master-level expert.

It is not easy for a warrior to become a master. Wu Wanrong guessed that there should be only one or two masters in the Blood Cloud Tower.

If Xueyun Tower wanted to assassinate Lu Ming, the owner of Xueyun Tower would most likely do it himself. As long as they took this opportunity to capture the owner of Xueyun Tower, bringing down Zhang Hanwen would be a foregone conclusion.

After hearing Wu Wanrong's order, Li Qingluan saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Qingluan then turned and left Weiyang Palace.

Half an hour later.

A man in black armor entered the Weiyang Palace.

After the man entered the hall, he bowed to Wu Wanrong and said, "Greetings to the Queen, may you live forever!"

Wu Wanrong said calmly, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, empress."

After Xiao Shan finished his ceremony, he looked up at Wu Wanrong behind the curtain. Due to the red curtain blocking his view, Xiao Shan could only see Wu Wanrong's shadow.

Xiao Shan asked, "What instructions does the Madam have for me?"

Wu Wanrong's cold voice came from behind the curtains, "Tomorrow, Prince Xiaoyao will leave the capital for the manor outside the city. You should take some soldiers with you to protect him."

Hearing this, Xiao Shan was stunned for a moment.

Let him, a master, protect that loser King Xiaoyao?
Besides, King Xiaoyao is of no use to the Queen, so what's the point in protecting him?
Xiao Shan then said, "Prince Xiaoyao is a dying man. I wonder why the Queen wants her subordinates to protect him?"

Wu Wanrong said calmly, "Blood Cloud Tower."

Hearing these three words, Xiao Shan instantly realized that Wu Wanrong had been asking him to secretly investigate the secret transactions between Xueyun Tower and the Zhang family recently.

As the master sent by Jiutianyuan to protect Wu Wanrong, he is considered Wu Wanrong's confidant and is very clear about Wu Wanrong's plan. Wu Wanrong intends to use the Blood Cloud Tower to bring down Zhang Hanwen.

As for protecting King Xiaoyao, that was just an excuse. The purpose was just to use King Xiaoyao as bait to lure the master of Xueyun Tower into taking action.

As long as the master of the Blood Cloud Tower can be captured, the witness will be captured, and then it will be easy to collect evidence of collusion between the Zhang family and the Blood Cloud Tower.

Xiao Shan then bowed and said, "I understand."

"Go down and get ready." Wu Wanrong's cold voice came out from behind the curtain again.

"Yes, I am resigning."

Watching Xiao Shan's departing figure, Wu Wanrong muttered to herself, "I hope that person can lure out the owner of the Blood Cloud Tower."

early morning.

After Lu Ming got up, he had a simple meal and prepared to set off for the farm outside the city.

Just as he was about to leave, a maid came up to Lu Ming and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyun, who was standing next to Lu Ming, frowned slightly.

"Queen?"

"What did she send for?"

Xiao Qingyun still didn't know the relationship between Lu Ming and the Queen. In her eyes, the Queen and Lu Ming had no intersection at all. But today she suddenly sent someone to protect Lu Ming. This was too weird.

Lu Ming said, "Let him in."

The maid then turned around and went to the palace gate to report.

Xiao Qingyun looked at Lu Ming with confusion. Judging from Lu Ming's expression, he didn't seem surprised that the Queen would send someone, and even had a feeling that it was expected.

Soon, the maid brought Xiao Shan, who was wearing black armor, to Lu Ming.

After the maid brought the person in, she said to Lu Ming, "Your Majesty, the person is here."

Lu Ming said "hmm", then his eyes fell on Xiao Shan.

After hearing the maid's words and seeing the black royal robe with purple edges that Lu Ming was wearing, Xiao Shan was stunned.

Is this King Xiaoyao?
Isn’t it said that King Xiaoyao was assassinated and is in danger? How can he still be standing?

And judging from his complexion, he doesn't look like he's in danger at all.

Seeing Xiao Shan distracted, Lu Ming was the first to ask, "I don't think I've seen you before. Where do you work?"

Lu Ming clearly felt the powerful true energy in Xiao Shan's body, and he instantly determined that Xiao Shan was a master.

There were not many masters in the capital. When his father was still alive, those masters often came to Xiaoyao Palace. Lu Ming had seen all the masters in the capital, but he had never seen the person in front of him.

Lu Ming guessed that this should be a master who broke through in recent years. A newly promoted master actually chose to join the queen. This made Lu Ming a little curious. He was curious about how Wu Wanrong pulled this master into her camp.

Xiao Shan finally came to his senses after hearing Lu Ming's words. He quickly bowed to Lu Ming and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Even though Lu Ming is just a loser, he still has to show proper courtesy.

After the ceremony, Xiao Shan said, "I am the captain of the Qingyun Guard."

Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh in his heart. A master actually became a captain of Qingyun Guard.

With his status as a master, he would have no problem becoming the chief flag-taker of the Qingyun Guard, or even the governor of the Northern Pacification Division.

It seems that Wu Wanrong wants to start with the Northern Pacification Office, let her people slowly climb up, and then take control of the Northern Pacification Office.

There is nothing wrong with the idea. If she controls the Northern Pacification Office, she can investigate anyone she wants in the future, and it will be easier for her to overthrow those officials who are blocking her way.

Lu Ming said at this time: "As a Grandmaster, it is a bit of a waste of your talent to be a captain of Qingyun Guard."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Xiao Shan and Xiao Qingyun were both stunned.

When Xiao Shan entered the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, he concealed his aura, and few people in the entire capital knew that he was a Grandmaster. However, the Xiaoyao Prince in front of him could tell at a glance that he was a Grandmaster? ? ?

Xiao Qingyun was also puzzled. She could feel that Xiao Shan had a strong internal energy and his strength was at least at the first rank, but she could not directly judge whether Xiao Shan was a first-rank warrior or a master.

However, Lu Ming directly said that Xiao Shan was a master.

Lu Ming is an ordinary person and should not be able to judge the realm of a warrior.
