Chapter 705: Zhao Hongli's Plan (Part 2)
Zheng Jian's face was a little surprised. The fifth prince has been indulging in the extremely arrogant and extravagant days of Xicheng. When did he start to care about the ghost gate?
But he thought about it immediately, and he was relieved.
The Ghost Underworld Gate is a serious problem for the entire Chenbei Dynasty, and the fifth prince is the heir of the royal family. If the Ghost Underworld Gate really reappears, it will be extremely detrimental to the Chenbei Dynasty and the royal family.
If there is a country, there is a family. If there is no dynasty, then the royal family, or Zhao Hongli, will no longer exist.
Although the matter of the Ghost Gate was kept secret by the entire dynasty, Zheng Jian did not think that Zhao Hongli would turn against his family.
Zheng Jian said solemnly: "Ghost Nether Gate has been active outside the city recently, and some of our masters have died because of it. According to the latest detection, they seem to be lurking in the sandy area."
Bao Zhi was taken aback, and said, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that the Ghost Gate has already..."
Zheng Jian sneered and said, "Don't you know the nature of the natives? After being subdued by the masters of our dynasty decades ago, although it has always been said that it was merged with the West City and called the Xisha Region, the wildness of the natives in the Sand Region is hard to change. Even collusion with the natives is not a strange thing."
"And if you think about it, the Ghost Nether Gate has always disappeared. We have been stationed in the Xisha Region for so many years, but we have only found some clues, but there is one place that is difficult for us to penetrate, and that is the Sand Region, and only under the cover of the Sand Region Under the circumstances, the Ghost Nether Sect was able to grow, right?"
Having said that, Bao Zhi's face was moved.
This kind of explanation is indeed the most common, but it is the most unacceptable to them.
Bao Zhi exclaimed: "According to what you said, the actual power of the Ghost Gate is very likely to be in the sandy area, or even in the indigenous tribes!"
Zheng Jian looked at the fifth prince, and said in a deep voice: "The sandy area has been doing a good job of keeping secrets these years, and the recent incident of the fifth prince and the natives has made our investigation deadlocked."
Zhao Hongli frowned, but didn't say anything.
Bao Zhi's face changed into surprise. This Zheng Jian is really audacious. How dare he question the fifth prince and express his dissatisfaction with the fifth prince?
Originally, he thought that Zhao Hongli was about to get angry, but Zhao Hongli said: "You are right, I shouldn't have broken skin with the natives, causing your investigation of the Ghost Gate to fall into this state."
Zheng Jian's face was indifferent, and he didn't say anything.
Bao Zhi was stunned for a moment, puzzled, why did the Fifth Prince seem to have become so calm after the incident in the slave market last time?
That's my own place being messed up! He didn't even get angry?
In his impression, this is not Zhao Hongli's style.
"The fifth prince's words mean that there seems to be a solution?" Zheng Jian raised his eyebrows and asked.
A faint smile curled up on the corner of Zhao Hongli's mouth, and he said, "Zheng Jian, spread this news to the entire West City."
"What?"
Zheng Jian suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he frowned and said, "Fifth Prince, you should know that the matter of the Ghost Gate is of great importance. If it spreads, the entire West City may be panicked. Isn't the West City in chaos?"
Zhao Hongli said: "If you want to solve the ghost gate, you just do what I say. The matter of the ghost gate must be solved, so you just do what I say."
Zheng Jian is only in charge of intelligence search at Tianfumen. This kind of matter is too important, and he dare not make the decision.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Hongli revealed his purpose. After Zheng Jian and Bao Zhi heard this, their eyes flickered slightly.
