?Are you sure you didn’t lie to me?”
"Your Highness, it's absolutely true. The wedding team of Duke Zhen Guo has dispersed, but that street is blocked and our people can't get through."
The prince looked horrified: "The post house and the Zhen Guo Duke's residence were besieged at the same time. Only Your Majesty can do this in the entire Kyoto. Could it be that His Majesty is going to attack the Zhen Guo Duke? Wouldn't the Zhen Guo Duke be the same now?"
The news was so shocking that he felt incredible after hearing it.
Isn’t today the wedding day of Duke Zhen and the eldest princess of Northern Qi?
Why did Your Majesty suddenly take action against Duke Zhenguo?
The second prince also received the news, and his behavior was even worse than that of the prince.
"How could His Majesty attack Duke Zhenguo and the Ye family at this time? Are they crazy? Attack the eldest princess of Northern Qi and Duke Zhenguo, they..."
At this point, he stopped suddenly and his pupils contracted.
"Could it be that Ye Liuyun, the Ye family, and Your Majesty..."
Thinking of this possibility, the second prince's face became even more gloomy. He and Ye Ling'er were granted marriage by Emperor Qing, but it had been such a long time and the Ye family had not shown any sign of standing on his side, so he tried his best to think
To win over Zhou Chen.
But now that Emperor Qing has taken action against Zhou Chen, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain?
What he couldn't understand the most was why Emperor Qing would attack Zhou Chen at this time. Isn't this a self-weakening move by Qing?
Although he couldn't understand it, at this time, he didn't dare to move at all and could only sit around and wait for the news.
Fan Xian took Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing and was about to go out when he was stopped by Fan Jian.
"The Zhenguo Palace will cease to exist after today, so you don't need to go there."
"What?"
Fan Jian's words made Fan Xian stunned on the spot.
"Because His Majesty has decided to get rid of Duke Zhenguo today, so he should have taken action now."
Fan Xian's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
"What are you talking about? Your Majesty wants to kill Duke Zhenguo? Why?"
"Why else could it be that Duke Zhenguo thinks he is a great master, disrespects His Majesty, and ignores the imperial power. Your Majesty has tolerated him for a long time. This time he has set a dragnet and it is difficult for Duke Zhenguo to fly."
Fan Jian's expression was incomprehensible. Fan Xian was disrespectful to Emperor Qing, and he didn't think anything of it. However, Zhou Chen was disrespectful to Emperor Qing. As a minister, he felt that Zhou Chen's behavior was not the behavior of a minister. It was a double standard.
But he actually didn't understand very well. Just for this reason, Emperor Qing insisted on killing Zhou Chen. Not to mention that Zhou Chen's death would be equivalent to self-weakening for Qing. If in the process of killing Zhou Chen,
The other two great masters were also injured, so Qingguo's losses would be too heavy.
He originally wanted to persuade Fan Xian to leave it alone, but after hearing this, Fan Xian became even more excited.
"No, I have to go and see what's going on. Duke Zhen Guo has helped me more than once. I can't just sit idly by and ignore it."
Fan Jian grabbed Fan Xian and said hurriedly: "Don't go. This is His Majesty's personal arrangement. You can't save Duke Zhen if you go."
Fan Xian looked ugly. He has now reached the ninth level of combat power, so he is more aware of the gap between the ninth level and the Grand Master, both in the earth and in the sky. If the Grand Master attacks and kills Zhou Chen, he will be in vain.
"What about the post house where the eldest princess of Northern Qi is?"
"It has been surrounded by the Forbidden Army and the Tiger Guard led by Ye Zhong, and narrowly escaped death."
Fan Jian also had a heavy expression on his face. Although Emperor Qing wanted to kill Zhou Chen, although he felt it was not good, he was not particularly opposed to it. However, Emperor Qing wanted to capture the Princess of Northern Qi and threaten Zhou Chen, which he couldn't stand.
This method is really a bit underhanded, not to mention that the eldest princess of Northern Qi is not only Zhou Chen's fiancée, but also the princess of Northern Qi. By doing this, does Emperor Qing want to completely fall out with Northern Qi? This is not a very wise choice.
"How could your Majesty do this? She is the princess of Northern Qi, and she is just a woman with no power to restrain a chicken."
Fan Xian couldn't accept this kind of thing. On the other hand, what Emperor Qing had done recently was really hard for him to accept, and he felt very conflicted.
Fan Jian's attitude was very firm: "As long as I am here today, you can't go anywhere. I can't watch you die."
fan
A ninth-level combat power cannot play a big role in the face of the full-fledged Forbidden Army and Tiger Guard.
He hesitated for a while, said nothing, and returned to his yard with Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Teng Zijing said impatiently: "We must go and help the Duke of Zhen. He saved my life."
Wang Qinian said: "But you also paid, it's a fair deal."
Teng Zijing immediately glared at him: "Wang Qinian, what do you mean, do you want to die without saving me?"
Wang Qinian said: "Of course I want to save them. But what can we do? This is His Majesty's will. If we go to save people, we will be resisting the decree."
Teng Zijing's expression suddenly solidified. He was resisting the decree. He may not care about his own life, but he still has a wife and children.
"Fan Xian."
"grown ups."
Facing the two people's gazes and questions, Fan Xian's face was heavy.
"Let me think about it first, let me think about it."
Fan Xian walked into the room. Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing looked at each other and left the yard, leaving the space for Fan Xian.
After a while, Fan Xian suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Uncle Wu Zhu, Uncle Wu Zhu..."
The next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air, it was Wu Zhu.
"You are looking for me."
Fan Xian said eagerly: "Uncle Wu Zhu, are there any great masters fighting in Kyoto?"
Wu Zhu said: "Yes, and there are not just two, but three. There is also one which is very strange, but it does have the strength of a great master."
Fan Xian looked shocked: "Four Grandmasters? Uncle Wu Zhu, how come there are four Grandmasters?"
"I don't know, but there are indeed four of them. Three of them hit one. The one who was beaten was Zhou Chen, and the other one, I have the impression, seems to be Ye Liuyun."
Although Wuzhu's memory is somewhat lacking, he still remembers many people he knew in the past. Ye Liuyun became a great master under his whipping, so he naturally has an impression.
The street where the battle took place was not very far away from here. When the battle just broke out, he was attracted to look at it for a few times, but he quickly came back.
"Three against the Duke of Zhen?"
Zhou Chen was frightened by Wuzhu's words. Where did Emperor Qing get such great ability? There is no problem in commanding the Grand Master in the palace. Ye Liuyun, as a Qingguo native, might also listen to Emperor Qing. What about the other one?
"Who is the other one, Ku He? Or Si Gu Jian? Will they listen to His Majesty and besiege the Duke of Zhen?"
"He's not Ku He or Si Gu Jian. He's a very strange person. He has no vitality. He's a bit like me."
"What?"
Fan Xian didn't quite understand what Wu Zhu meant, but he understood that there was actually a great master who was not one of the five great masters.
What on earth is going on in this world? Isn’t it said that there are only five great masters? It’s enough to have people like Uncle Wu Zhu, but why is there another great master with fighting power now?
But now was not the time to think about these things. When he thought that Zhou Chen was besieged by the three great masters and his life or death was uncertain, he hurriedly asked Wu Zhu.
"Uncle Wuzhu, Duke Zhen Guo is kind to me. Can you save him?"
"There is no way, the three great masters, he can't survive, and I am only responsible for protecting you, I don't care about others."
"But Lord Zhenguo is kind to me, I beg you to help him, is that okay?"
"No, the lady's order requires me to protect you. If I go, I might die and I won't be able to protect you anymore. I can't go."
What Fan Xian wanted to say was immediately choked up. Yes, the three great masters, even if Uncle Wu Zhu has passed now, Duke Zhen Guo no longer knows what will happen. Although Uncle Wu Zhu is fierce, if he faces the three great masters at the same time,
Grandmaster, I'm afraid he can't stop it either.
Thinking of this, he could no longer tell Wu Zhu to save Zhou Chen. At this moment, he really hated himself. If he had the strength, he wouldn't be so helpless.
The Zhou Mansion, as Zhou Chen's base camp, was surrounded by the Forbidden Army. Gong Dian gave an order, and the Forbidden Army rushed directly into the mansion. Many servants in the Zhou Mansion were panicked and couldn't escape even if they wanted to. They were all brutally beaten by the Forbidden Army.
Take control.
After a while, Gong Dian listened to the report of his general with a gloomy expression.
"Commander, no one was found."
"How is it possible? We kept watching and clearly saw someone going in. How could we not find anyone?"
Gong Dian was the commander sent by Emperor Qing to besiege the Zhou Mansion. His main target was Zhou Chen's woman, the Qing courthouse who was brought back from the brothel by Zhou Chen.
