Chapter 1305 Reason

While Wu Fan was speechless about the current situation, Duan Ziyuan and Ning Hua were still flattering Wu Fan tirelessly. Even if Wu Fan stopped talking, it would not affect their performance.

If you think about it carefully, it is completely understandable that Duan Ziyuan and Ning Hua behaved like this.

The two had just accepted Wu Fan's favor, and they were already quite grateful to Wu Fan.

And now, Wu Fan "helped" them find the spies of Yanfeng Country, so that they could complete the task smoothly and leave a good impression in the hearts of His Majesty and His Highness, which is extremely beneficial for their future career development.

In this case, they were even more grateful to Wu Fan in their hearts.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything more, my lords." Wu Fan waved his hand to stop the flattery of the two and said, "This task is done by the three of us together. If there is any merit, naturally all three of us will be credited. I will report it to His Highness truthfully."

At this point, Wu Fan had to accept this "merit" that fell from the sky.

"Thank you, Manager Wu." Duan Ziyuan and Ning Hua were waiting for Wu Fan to say this. With Wu Fan's promise, they felt more at ease.

Afterwards, the two interrogated again, and the man who had just confessed was still very cooperative and told the whole story.

As for the others, they were all in the same group, but they were much tougher than this man. No matter how Duan Ziyuan and Ning Hua interrogated, they kept silent.

"That's right, this is the reaction a spy should have. That man named Zhao Xue is really too spineless." Wu Fan said to himself.

If Zhao Xue was as tough as the others and said nothing, Wu Fan would not have received any "merit" for no reason.

However, after listening to Zhao Xue's confession, Wu Fan also understood why the other party had such a reaction.

This is a novice!

A novice who just entered the industry!

Although he performed well during training on weekdays, he was still extremely nervous when he was actually carrying out the mission, and it was his first time to carry out the mission.

This group of people had just arrived in Moonlight City not long ago. The mission they received was different from Wu Fan's, but the purpose was the same, which was to create chaos in the capital of Yanfeng Kingdom, and it would be best if they could assassinate the special envoy of Tianji Kingdom to destroy the alliance between Tianji Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom.

Wu Fan was not unfamiliar with this situation. Just like the assassination of Wu Xian, the emperor of Nanping Kingdom, the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom gave the task to Wu Fan, but at the same time, he also asked other people to carry out the task at the same time, and did not put all his hopes on Wu Fan.

This time was obviously the same situation. Although the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom recognized Wu Fan's ability, it was a big deal to destroy the alliance between Tianji Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom. He was cautious by nature and did not put all his hopes on Wu Fan. Therefore, while letting Wu Fan come to Shuiyue Kingdom to carry out the mission, he also sent other people to carry out the mission.

Wu Fan even guessed that there must be other people sent to assassinate Yelu Hongfei besides himself, and these other people were obviously not the captives in front of him.

In short, there were many people sent by the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom to Moonlight City to perform tasks, and Wu Fan was definitely not the only one.

"However, the old emperor also made mistakes sometimes. Among the people sent, there was actually such a person with such weak tolerance." Wu Fan thought to himself as he looked at Zhao Xue.

According to Zhao Xue's confession, after they entered Moonlight City, they planned to start the mission after getting familiar with the environment. As a result, they happened to encounter a city-wide search. Ning Hua and Duan Ziyuan's people searched everywhere for the spies of Yanfeng Kingdom. Although they worked for a long time and could not find any spies of Yanfeng Kingdom, their search behavior brought great pressure to Zhao Xue and others. They have been hiding in the city to avoid being hunted down during this period.

Zhao Xue is a newcomer. Although he performed well in training on weekdays, he still panicked when he encountered such a situation when he just came to Moonlight City. He thought that he and others had been exposed, and he was panicking. Therefore, there was the scene of bumping into Wu Fan before. At that time, he was afraid and didn't even dare to raise his head when walking, fearing that his identity would be recognized, so he bumped into Wu Fan.

After bumping into Wu Fan, he found that he seemed to be in big trouble. Wu Fan was surrounded by people who were either wearing official uniforms or wearing armor and holding weapons. This situation made him even more panicked and his nerves were completely tense.

So, when Wu Fan patted his shoulder, Zhao Xue, who was nervous, thought that Wu Fan knew his identity and wanted to arrest him, so he immediately made a counterattack without thinking.

In short, the current situation was caused by a misunderstanding and a novice with poor psychological endurance.

After Wu Fan heard Zhao Xue's confession, he was speechless again. He never thought that a simple subconscious action of his would cause such a series of reactions.

Of course, Ning Hua and Duan Ziyuan still had the same idea as Zhao Xue until now, and they all thought that Wu Fan recognized Zhao Xue's identity in advance, so he "took action".

"Okay, my lords, take them back and interrogate them in detail. I think there are still many spies from the Yanfeng Kingdom in this city. Perhaps we can get some clues from them." Wu Fan said to Ning Hua and Duan Ziyuan.

Since things have come to this, Wu Fan can only accept it and remind Ning Hua and Duan Ziyuan casually.

"What Wu Guanshi reminded me of is that these thieves are ambitious, and they are definitely not limited to these few people in front of us." Duan Ziyuan said.

"I will definitely catch those who just escaped." Ning Hua also said.

Wu Fan nodded, "In that case, I should go back to the palace to report to His Majesty."

"As I should, let's see you off."

Wu Fan nodded, and just after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and signaled Ning Hua and Duan Ziyuan to dismiss their men.

"Does Wu Guanshi have anything to tell you?" Duan Ziyuan and Ning Hua followed Wu Fan's instructions and asked their men to keep the three of them a little further away.

"There is something I want to discuss with the two adults." Wu Fan said.

"Do you have anything to tell me, Wu Guanshi?"

"That's it." Wu Fan thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask the two adults to keep it secret."

"Keep it secret?" Duan Ziyuan and Ning Hua asked with some doubts.

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded. "It's about the incident with the eunuchs. I hope you two adults won't mention it in your memorial. Just say that your people stopped the spies from Yanfeng Country and waited for the arrival of reinforcements. As for the eunuchs, they never showed up."
