Chapter 436 Suspicion of Cang Xuan

When He Linzhang came over that night, Tao Yanyan asked about the theft in Xia State.

"You heard everything? I won't hide it from you. The portrait is indeed lost. As for the other important item, Kang Mowan didn't give me a design or the name of the item, so it's really hard to search for it. So I can only promise him to try my best to find the portrait."

Tao Yanyan helped him take off his outer shirt and put on clean inner clothes, saying, "This thief is not a simple person, as he can break into the posthouse and steal without caring about his own safety. Does your majesty have anyone he suspects?"

He Linzhang smiled and said: "I doubted Cang Xuan at first."

So I told her the reason for my doubt.

"I feel that Cang Xuan seems to have deep feelings for Long Weiwei. His expression when he saw the portrait that day showed that. So if we were to say who wants the portrait the most, perhaps he is the most suspicious."

Tao Yanyan nodded: "Your Majesty and I agree. I also think it is most likely Cang Xuan. But it is not easy to jump to conclusions without evidence."

"Well, I have sent the shadow guards to investigate. If it is really him, Miaoyinfang must be kept under close surveillance." He Linzhang lay back on the couch, waiting for Tao Yanyan.

After Tao Yanyan finished washing up, she also went to bed, nestled in He Linzhang's arms, and continued the previous topic: "Second Prince Xia didn't say the name of the other thing, is that thing something shameful?"

Apart from this reason, Tao Yanyan really couldn't think of any other reason.

He Linzhang patted her back gently: "Who knows? There is no picture and no name. It's hard to find it."

"I signed a contract with Miaoyinfang before, and I can get dividends every month. How about I go there tomorrow to pick up last month's money and see if I can find anything by the way?" Tao Yanyan volunteered to go to Miaoyinfang to investigate.

He Linzhang disagreed: "Don't forget you promised me not to go near that room. You'd better not go to Miaoyinfang. I'm worried."

Since he said so, Tao Yanyan naturally would not meddle in other people's business. The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. Early the next morning, Eunuch Zhang came to the door and reported that the second prince of Xia Kingdom was waiting outside the palace to see His Majesty.

He Linzhang was dressed neatly and ready to go to court, but when he heard about this, he had to skip the court session and receive the second prince of the Xia Kingdom first.

Kang Mowan entered the imperial study and frowned when he saw He Linzhang, who looked somewhat familiar.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou. I am sorry to bother you here today because of an urgent matter. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

He Linzhang said calmly: "No need to be polite, Second Prince. Please take a seat!"

Hearing this voice, the second prince became even more suspicious, and felt that it was more familiar.

But he couldn't keep staring at the Emperor of Great Zhou, so he had to look away and sit down.

"I believe Your Majesty has already learned about the theft. Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if the portrait of Long Weiwei cannot be found, but the other item... that thing is extremely powerful. If it is lost, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles." Kang Mowan said very solemnly.

He Linzhang narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Is it some weapon with great lethality?"

Kang Mowan had no choice but to nod his head: "Yes, it is a weapon, but none of us know how to use it. Only Long Weiwei knows how to use it."

It seemed like there was something difficult to tell, but in the end Kang Mowan chose to tell it all.

"That thing is called a gun. It's not the red tassel gun we are talking about. It's a small gun with amazing power. I have never seen such a powerful weapon in the world. With a whoosh, it can punch a hole in a person and kill him instantly!"

It seemed that the description of the weapon had already frightened Kang Mowan. He was afraid that the Great Zhou Emperor would not take it seriously, so he added: "I was ordered to look for Long Weiwei this time, hoping to find her, and then go back to make more weapons. Now she is not found, and the weapons are also lost. I... I have no face to see my father again. Even if I go back, I will be punished, and I am afraid I will have to pay with my life."

He Linzhang pondered his words and said, "The posthouse was robbed, and the thieves are also challenging the bottom line of the Great Zhou. Don't worry, draw the weapon and give it to Jingzhao Yin, they will conduct a carpet search to find the whereabouts of the weapon."

Kang Mowan stood up and saluted: "I hope Your Majesty will help me. If I can't find it, once this weapon kills people, the consequences will be disastrous!"

After the two finished talking, Kang Mowan retreated. He Linzhang hesitated for a moment and asked someone to invite Tao Yanyan.

He thought that Tao Yanyan liked to read some miscellaneous books and might know about this kind of weapon.

"What, it's a gun?" Tao Yanyan exclaimed.

"Yan Yan knows that thing?" He Linzhang's eyes lit up, and then he became confused.

Tao Yanyan cleared her throat: "I haven't really seen it either, but I have some impression of it. Your Majesty, as far as I know, the weapon is indeed powerful. No matter how skilled a martial artist is, he cannot escape its attack. Xia Guo said that they were looking for Long Weiwei to make it, which means that Long Weiwei knew how to make this thing. Maybe this thing was brought to Xia Guo by Long Weiwei."

After listening to her analysis, He Linzhang nodded in approval: "This Long Weiwei is also a rare person. She can play rare instruments and use powerful weapons. If she hadn't disappeared out of thin air, she might have been able to stir up the world with this weapon."

Tao Yanyan shook his head: "This weapon is not easy to make. If you don't have the skills, you may not be able to make it at all. It's not that easy to stir up the world. However, once this weapon hits someone, that person will definitely not survive, so we must find it!"

Tao Yanyan felt that when Long Weiwei traveled through time, she might have brought a piano, a violin, and a gun with her. Since Kang Mowan knew that the weapons were extremely powerful, it meant that he had used them in front of others. Now it was unknown how many bullets had been fired, and whether Kang Mowan had any new bullets.

In short, even if we find it, we cannot return it to Xia State to avoid endless troubles.

"I have already ordered the Jingzhao Yin to search with all his strength, but there is no clue. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"The blue dragon was born in the Western Regions, and its wonderful sound spread to the four countries." Tao Yanyan whispered: "Your Majesty, could it be that the Blue Dragon Sect stole it?"

He Linzhang frowned: "If it is really the Canglong Sect, it will be difficult to deal with. I have been searching for a long time but still have no clue about the Canglong Sect."

Tao Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that Cang Xuan plus Long Weiwei is the origin of the name of Canglongmen?"

He Linzhang narrowed his eyes: "Born in the Western Regions, does that mean Long Weiwei is from the Western Regions? Miaoyin spreads to four countries, could it be that you are talking about Miaoyinfang? Miaoyinfang is the stronghold of Canglongmen?"

The more they guessed, the more they felt they had discovered the truth.

At this moment, Cang Xuan, who was admiring Long Weiwei's portrait in a secret room, stroked the portrait gently: "You never wanted me to paint for you. This painting was done by my good brother, right? Ha! Hahaha! They are obviously twins with the same face, why do you insist on liking him and ignoring me? You know, he has no heart at all! He would rather go to restore his country and spend most of his life overthrowing the Great Zhou than stay with you forever and live a good life like a fairy couple!"

Cang Xuan's eyes turned red: "Tell me, if you had chosen me, would you not have disappeared at such a young age?"
