The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 67

Of course Huang Long's men would not find Xie Hongyi because the woman and Xiao Zhang had already left.

After treating Xiao Zhang's injuries, the two of them walked eastward towards the capital. Last night when they discussed what they should do, Xiao Zhang had briefly rejected Xie Hongyi's idea of returning. He knew that the situation was in chaos, it was likely that his identity would be revealed soon. But, with Xie Hongyi's powerful verbal strength, Xiao Zhang lost. But the man did not want to admit defeat and said he would grant Xie Hongyi's request on one condition. Xie Hongyi agreed to it because Xiao Zhang simply said they had to go to a place to meet a familiar person Xiao Zhang.

Although the system had given Xie Hongyi a new mission, but he would not go North first. The situation in the South is chaotic. He cannot just leave the country. Fortunately the system says that helping the protagonist is more important.

The two of them walked through the forest whose trees were covered in snowflakes. In the middle of the journey, Xie Hongyi suddenly stopped his steps and said: "I'm tired, can we stop?"

Xiao Zhang said in annoyance. "This is the tenth time we have stopped. If you keep this up, we'll never make it!"

This was what made Xiao Zhang exasperated. He was the one who suffered a lot of injuries, but why was it that Xie Hongyi was acting like a sick person instead?

Xie Hongyi looked at him with an innocent look. "Women and men are different."

Xiao Zhang clucked and was forced to sit a little away from the woman.

Xie Hongyi slightly chuckled at the wry-faced Xiao Zhang. "You should be kinder to a woman. Otherwise, maybe you'll never get a wife."

Xiao Zhang ignored Xie Hongyi. He then looked at the compass in his hand. This compass was completely different from the compass that Xiao Zhang knew. Xie Hongyi said that this compass was more effective at indicating directions.

After a long thought, Xie Hongyi decided to take care of his son. Xie Hongyi would not act recklessly for fear of harming the child. That's why he often asked for a lot of rest.

In the past, he sometimes felt jealous of his female colleagues who sometimes came to visit the headquarters with a large stomach. She also wants to get married and have a husband who cares like them, but she never finds a man who makes her fall in love.

He had thought of having a child by way of a donor ******. But his comrades strongly opposed Xie Hongyi's intentions. And the thought was slowly buried in due to Xie Hongyi's dense activities. He had to travel to several countries to help the army.

Xie Hongyi looked around the surroundings that were average in white due to the snow. Xie Hongyi's gaze shifted as his eyes looked at an object of interest.

Dusk flowers! Xie Hongyi was very happy and without a second thought, he walked quickly to pick the twilight flowers.

The petals of twilight flowers are yellow in size like peonies. The tree is short while the leaves run like cassava leaves. As the name implies, the flower will bloom when the sun is almost sinking. It is still daytime, so the flower buds have not yet bloomed.

Xie Hongyi knew it was a twilight flower because the book provided the system of attaching pictures of antidote materials. According to the book, this flower blooms all season, so it's no wonder that it still grows in winter.

While picking up the flower, Xie Hongyi's feet unconsciously stepped on the slippery rock that made him slip. He had almost fallen if Xiao Zhang had not restrained his body. The man said angrily. "You want to fall off a cliff again?"

Xie Hongyi had just realized that underneath was a steep cliff. "Of course not."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I want to take this." Xie Hongyi showed the twilight flower in his hand to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang narrowed his eyes. "Just because of a flower you don't care about your life?"

Xie Hongyi said in a plain tone. "You don't know that this flower is actually my life and my death."

"you mean? Would your life be over if the flower didn't exist?"

Half right, Xie Hongyi said inwardly, because if he does not help Huang Long, the system will give a punishment. "Well, you could say that. This flower is one of the ingredients for making medicine."

Xiao Zhang released his hand which held Xie Hongyi back. The man said indifferently. "Oh." Never mind, the important thing is this woman didn't fall.

After resting for quite a while, the two finally continued on their way. On arriving at the edge of the city, Xie Hongyi restrained the walking Xiao Zhang.

Instantly, Xiao Zhang's annoyance appeared again. He said impatiently. "Now what else?"

Xie Hongyi pointed at Xiao Zhang. "You sure you're gonna wear that outfit to the capital?"

Xiao Zhang was unwilling to waste time buying clothes, so he did not care.

"Wait here."

Xiao Zhang wanted to stop Xie Hongyi, but the woman walked very quickly and Xiao Zhang did not have time to catch up. He reluctantly obeyed Xie Hongyi's orders.

About an incense stick later, Xie Hongyi came back. In his hand were a few pieces of clothing that looked good.

Xie Hongyi said: "I took it from a merchant." Alias steal. He initially asked the merchant well, but he refused. Xie Hongyi became so angry that he gave the merchant some dope.

In addition to picking up a few pieces of clothing, he also brought the merchant's valuables.

Seeing the reluctant Xiao Zhang, Xie Hongyi urged him. "Hurry and change your clothes. You don't want to waste any more time, do you?"

Xiao Zhang brought Xie Hongyi to an inn. The inn only has one floor but has a wide area.

After speaking to the maid, Xiao Zhang and Xie Hongyi walked into a room located in a remote corner.

When the door of the room opened, they were shocked as soon as they saw two bodies lying motionless. One of the bodies was on a bed with a dagger stuck in his chest. The other was lying under the window with a wound to his neck.

Xiao Zhang who saw the sight roared. "Xiao Shi! Xiao Ling!"

Xie Hongyi knew these two people. He had once saved the other one when he was in Pavilion Seven. He did not expect that these two people were from the North.

He was crouching in front of the body by the window. Without fear, he touched the bloody wound on his neck. "This man died from blood loss. He died last night."

Xiao Zhang was still in shock. His body trembled as he heard Xie Hongyi speak.

Xie Hongyi then walked over to the other corpse. He examined his entire stiff body. "This man died not long after."

Xie Hongyi went around the room and noticed every detail. After looking at the entire room, he then sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xie Hongyi made an opinion. "This killer is coming from the window. When he came, he immediately used a sharp weapon to slit his throat."

He then continued. "The second victim, who realized his friend was dead, immediately fought the killer. His resistance was in vain because he was injured, so he died in the hands of the killer. The inn guards did not hear any commotion because the location of this room was very remote."

Xiao Zhang listened to Xie Hongyi carefully. His hands clenched tightly. He felt extremely devastated over the deaths of Xiao Ling and Xiao Shi. They were both one of his most loyal subjects.

Xie Hongyi picked up a piece of black cloth lying on the bed. He was convinced that this cloth belonged to the murderer because the clothes of the two victims were not torn. Other than the footprints, this is the only clue to finding the killer.

Xiao Zhang who knew his identity had been revealed, said angrily. "You Southerners are so cruel!"

Xie Hongyi played a small cloth in his hand, denying. "You're mad at me? I'm not the one who killed them."

"I'm not harming you. It's just, the way you guys act is really cruel."

Xie Hongyi said disapprovingly. "Aren't you Northmen the same?" This man couldn't possibly forget how his country acted in the war right?

Xiao Zhang snorted. He sneered. "That's them, not me."

Xie Hongyi grew curious about Xiao Zhang's true identity. He couldn't bear to ask. "Xiao Zhang, who are you really? You seem to hate the Northern government a lot." He was definitely not a Palace person nor a government person, because if he was, Xiao Zhang would not have killed Wu Zhantian.

already so first yes, later on😆😆😆
