The reason why Zu An acted harshly was obviously to attack the mountain and shock the tiger. Xu Yu's people were bullying him. If he didn't express his feelings again, the people under his command would lose their support, and the other party would become more and more aggressive.
I used to see arrogant and domineering villains saying this in TV dramas. I was always eager to give it a try, but I didn't expect that I really found the opportunity today.
Needless to say, it feels really good.
No wonder so many villains like to shout this slogan.
As for the consequences of this, he is not worried at all. He is not afraid of the consequences in private. With his current cultivation level, he is not afraid at all. If it comes from the officialdom and the line, it is a serious crime for the other party to offend the Duke, not to mention that the imperial envoys are all his people.
How do you fight me?
Huh? That’s right. Why is he becoming more and more villainous?
He originally thought that the other party would resist or yell a few words, but he was already prepared for the follow-up.
Who would have thought that as soon as this was said, no one raised any objection, as if this was the right thing to do.
Fei Xun hurriedly endured the severe pain and handed over his hands to apologize: "Today I was impulsive because of my humble duty, and I bumped into the Duke. I hope the Duke will not take offense."
There is no need to be afraid of a crippled Duke who is seriously injured and on the verge of death, but the opponent's cultivation just now did not look like he was injured at all.
He was just in a hurry, but he was not a fool. How could he continue to conflict with the opponent under such circumstances? He hurriedly called his subordinates and left in embarrassment. As for the capture of the fugitives from the demon race, who dared to mention another word.
After these people left, the guards and maids in the mansion surrounded Zu An excitedly: "Your Majesty!"
They have a mutually beneficial relationship with their master. The more powerful the prince is, the more glorious they will be. Otherwise, they will be kicked in the face by the scoundrels just like they did just now.
At this time, someone hurriedly reported what happened to Yu Yanluo. Zu An nodded: "I understand. Let's call General Wang, General Li, and General Chen... to discuss it."
The names he mentioned were all the remaining cronies of Jian Yanyou in the Governor's Mansion, and there were also some people who had always had a good relationship with the Yu family.
After giving the instructions, he came to the inner house again and found Chu Ji.
Chu Ji was crying and talking to Xing Nu. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly stood up and knelt down: "Please save my lady, Lord."
Zu An helped her up: "I already know everything, please don't cry yet."
After speaking, he looked at Xingnu again: "Where are your people hiding? I will arrange for you to leave the city first."
Xing Nu was in a trance, always feeling that there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he was talking to him.
She was about to answer but hesitated, worried that if the other party deliberately tricked her, the tribe would be in danger.
As Yu Yanluo's personal maid, she naturally knew that the two of them were a couple in name only.
The only time was that the two seemed to sleep together a few days ago, but afterwards she asked Yu Yanluo about it, but she said that she and the Duke had nothing to do with each other, so she was worried that the Duke would betray them at this critical moment.
At this time, Chu Ji on the side said: "Sister Xingnu, the Duke can be completely trusted."
Others don't know, but she knows the relationship between the two best.
The lady even asked him to pretend to be a county prince, so he was definitely a trustworthy person.
In fact, she and Liu Ji had secretly speculated on the other party's true identity, but both parties had a tacit understanding not to reveal it.
Xing Nu was extremely surprised, but considering that Chu Ji was the Duke's bedfellow, it shouldn't be a big problem since she said so, not to mention that she had no one to turn to for help now.
So she answered: "In recent years, because my wife saw that life in the north was too difficult for the tribe, she arranged to do business there, using the special products there to exchange for food, medicine, and various daily necessities that were in short supply for the tribe, and she did this
Everything must be extremely secretive, as long as a little bit of news is revealed, it will be doomed."
"So we carefully selected some smart tribesmen to come to Yunzhong County to run and manage all these businesses."
"At the same time, we also took some tribesmen with good qualifications to study in human society, so that they can better go back and build their hometown."
"At first, Madam was worried about an accident, so she didn't let the clan members stay at the Yu family, but arranged them in various secret places in the city. Now it seems that Madam is really far-sighted."
Zu Anxin thought that Yu Yanluo's mentality must also be very tangled. On the one hand, she wanted to take care of her mother's family as much as possible, but due to the thousand-year dispute between the human race and the demon race, she was also worried that her father's Yu family would be implicated.
"By the way, where is Uncle Fu? Can you contact him?"
The old man on the carriage came to mind. He was indeed very powerful. With his protection, Yu Yanluo would not be captured so easily this time.
"Before, my wife sent him to the next county to deal with a batch of robbed goods. Calculating the time, he should be back soon. As long as I leave the city, I have a way to contact him." Star Slave replied.
At this time, Chu Ji replied: "It's just that the city gates are now closed, so it may be difficult to leave the city. Moreover, the county prince must also be a target of intense surveillance. If you are escorted out of the city in his name, he will be very serious once exposed."
Danger."
Xingnu was also troubled and said hurriedly: "I don't dare to let the Duke take risks. Whether we can leave the city is a trivial matter. I beg the Duke to rescue the wife."
Zu An thought for a while and replied: "You don't have to panic, I will save my wife, and I will also find a way to get you out of the city. You first go and inform the clansmen who are left in the city to be calm and don't be impulsive and get caught."
, that would be more troublesome to rescue. Xingnu, please don’t come forward, we are searching for you everywhere now."
Chu Ji said: "Let me inform you."
Zu An glanced at her: "Be careful, there are probably people watching the Duke's Mansion now."
Sensing his concern, Chu Ji blushed slightly and lowered her head in embarrassment: "Don't worry, I have been trained in this area before, it will be no problem."
Zu An nodded and comforted the two women. Soon, servants came from outside to report, and the generals came over one after another.
"So soon?" Zu An was a little surprised. When he asked, he learned that because of the incident at Yu Yanluo, a group of people hurriedly came to him for discussion and happened to bump into the people he sent out.
Zu An then went out to discuss with these generals in a secret room. Not long after, a group of people came out with solemn expressions.
Soon, several armies gathered outside the city in a mighty manner.
Because of checks and balances, the main force of the Governor's Mansion is basically stationed outside the city.
The soldiers guarding the city were immediately extremely nervous. They guarded the city gate tightly and sent people to report to Xu Yu.
However, Xu Yu has no time to deal with the news now, because "Jian Yanyou" has already arrived at the county governor's mansion with himself and the private soldiers from the generals' mansions.
While Xu Yu asked his men to be on guard everywhere, he greeted the other party at the door with a smile on his face: "Isn't the Duke recovering from his injuries? I didn't expect him to recover so quickly."
At the same time, Xiao Yao stood beside him with his sword in his arms, obviously to prevent the other party from trying to capture the thief first.
Sang Hong also rushed over after hearing the news.
Zu An glanced at everyone in the field and said coldly: "If you don't come out, things will change today."
Xu Yu shook his head: "No matter what happens, this day belongs to the Zhou Dynasty and the Emperor and cannot be changed."
Zu An knew that he deliberately said this to put pressure on the court and the emperor, and said calmly: "Jian has worked hard these years. Not to mention how much he has contributed to the court, it is considered a lot of hard work, but why doesn't Mr. Xu I want to arrest my husband’s wife for questioning!”
Xu Yu replied: "The Duke has misunderstood. I have no intention of targeting the Duke. The reason why I arrested Jade Yanluo is just because she is Medusa, a demon clan lurking in human society!"
As soon as these words came out, the ordinary soldiers on Zu'an's side looked at each other. They had only known that Yu Yanluo had been arrested before, but did not know the specific reason. When they heard that she was Medusa, they all showed doubts.
The generals also frowned slightly. They had heard some rumors before, and they still didn't believe it. They didn't expect this to be the reason.
"That's nonsense," Zu An shouted loudly, "I can't tell whether my own wife is a human or a demon. Do I need you, an outsider, to tell the difference?"
As soon as he said this, his men nodded, and the little commotion quickly subsided.
In their view, this was just Xu Yu's frame-up.
Xu Yu replied: "The demon tribe has always been cunning, so it is not surprising that they were deceived. I am ashamed to say that I have been swayed by Madam Yu's charm before, but it was not until recently that I discovered the truth. The prince does not need to worry about this. Someone comes and gives the evidence." The Duke has taken a look at it."
Zu An naturally knew what the evidence was. If it was released, his side's morale would collapse. He raised his hand to stop it: "No need! After getting along with each other for these years, I know clearly what kind of person my wife is. She usually doesn't even care about killing chickens." , I can’t help crying even if I accidentally step on ants on the road. It’s ridiculous for you to wrongly accuse such a kind-hearted woman of being a monster. Even if there is any evidence, it must have been forged by you.”
The soldiers thought of Yu Yanluo's unparalleled elegance and how gentle and kind she was to others, and they all started shouting that they were wronged.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the generals did not believe that Jade Yanluo could be a kind of Medusa.
Xu Yu frowned: "As far as I know, the Duke and Yu Yanluo have only been a couple in name in recent years. They have not lived together all year round. It is normal not to know her true face."
Many people in the venue immediately started talking. Only a few people knew the true situation of Jian Yanyou and Yu Yanluo. Now that everyone knew that they were only a couple in name, everyone was extremely surprised.
Many officials even had shortness of breath. The two were not a real couple. Yu Yanluo was still a virgin, so wouldn't we also have a chance?
However, when they thought that Jade Yanluo might be Medusa, everyone frowned.
"Haha, there is no need to sow discord between us husband and wife," Zu An replied, "The reason why I separated from my wife is because we are both heads of our respective families and have busy things to deal with. But this does not affect our relationship. I often get together for trysts on weekdays, and I definitely know much more about her than Master Xu."
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and Zu An's men naturally believed in what their own prince said.
Xu Yu, on the other hand, believed Xu Yu's words more and couldn't argue for a while.
Xu Yu's face darkened: "My lord, are you determined to protect the demon clan?"
"Don't blame me, I'm just here to save my innocent wife." Zu An then made a move, and the guards behind him unsheathed their swords, and a chilling atmosphere suddenly emitted from the field, "Today I want to take my wife home. , whoever dares to stop me, don’t blame my subordinates for being ruthless!”
