Feeling the terrifying fluctuations coming from the top of the mountain, the Jie Yin Hall halfway up the mountain suddenly exploded.
Even the emperor took action personally, which shows how bad the situation on Golden Summit has become.
A group of people tried many methods, but how could the Zhengyang Sect's mountain-protecting formation be broken in such a short time?
So everyone gathered around the reception hall to discuss what to do.
This group of ministers can usually argue in the court for a long time for nothing, let alone such a big event today?
In particular, some ministers from the King of Qi's party were instructed to deliberately hold back here, making it even less likely for everyone to produce any results from the quarrel.
Zu An was too lazy to get involved in the quarrel between them, but came to the window and looked in the direction of the Golden Dome, thoughtfully.
At this moment, Zhongshu Lang Pei Lian suddenly said loudly: "Zu An, didn't you bring people to Zishan in advance to eliminate safety hazards? How could there be such a big mistake?"
He is the second son of Pei Zheng, the servant, and he is married to the daughter of Liu Guang, the father-in-law of the country and the cavalry general. He is the most loyal ally of the King of Qi.
As soon as his words came out, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. The ministers who were arguing all looked at him one after another, all of them looking a little unkind.
Zu An was stunned and replied: "There was indeed nothing wrong when I checked before, but then I was left with the emperor. As you all know, I couldn't care about the situation here. It should be that something happened after that."
Pei Lian said coldly: "Who knows if you did it on purpose? You are the regent of the demon clan. It is reasonable for you to collude with some gangsters and conspire against the emperor."
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials in the court nodded. Whether they were from the lineage of the King of Qi or the lineage of the Emperor, they all felt that this was very possible.
Xie Daoyun on the side was stunned, the demon clan regent?
We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Did I miss something?
At this time, Pei Lian said to Murong Tong: "Mr. Murong, you are Guang Luxun and you are responsible for the emperor's safety. What do you say about this matter?"
Guang Luxun was one of the Nine Qings, and he was indeed responsible for the emperor's safety and honor, but over the years he had gradually been sidelined and became a false position with high authority and low weight.
But today, the other personal guards followed the emperor to the Golden Summit, and he, Guang Luxun, was the most suitable person to do this.
Murong Tong frowned, but still walked towards Zu An: "Master Zu, what happened today is not trivial. I will imprison you first and find out the whole story later. If you are indeed unjust, I will naturally let you go.
I will also specifically apologize to you."
The others nodded secretly. This Murong Tong could be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous person. Considering his age and status, he was even willing to apologize afterwards, which showed his sincerity.
Murong Qinghe was originally in a difficult situation, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his grandfather did not add insult to injury. This was indeed a feasible plan.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zu An, and he frowned slightly: "Please forgive me for not agreeing."
Not to mention how many of the people present had grudges against him, once he was captured, he would be a prey to others. If something unexpected happened, it would be too late to regret it.
In addition, major events were happening on the Golden Summit at this time, and he had been thinking about how to participate in it and try to make the final result beneficial to him.
If you were imprisoned here, that would be nonsense.
No matter whether Zhao Hao returns victorious or another force wins, there will be no good fruits for him.
Hearing his objection, the crowd was in an uproar, and many ministers who usually had conflicts with him made accusations, as if he was the mastermind behind all these conspiracies and wanted to punish him on the spot.
Bi Ziang looked on with cold eyes, this Zu'an's foundation is still too shallow, and his sudden rise to a high position is nothing more than a castle in the air. How can it compare with the foundation of the children of aristocratic families like us.
At this time, brothers Qin Guangyuan and Qin Yongde said loudly: "Brother Zu, are you worried that your safety will not be guaranteed? You can rest assured that with our friendship, the Qin family will definitely guarantee your safety. Who dares to do anything to you?"
The disadvantage is that we are enemies of our Qin family?"
As he spoke, he glanced around and saw that the patriarchs of the two families were fighting on the front line. The two brothers had always been reliable. Everyone knew that they were the heirs of the Qin family. Therefore, after making such a guarantee, no one doubted whether they could represent the Qin family.
It's a pity that Zu An still didn't accept the olive branch offered by the two men: "Thank you two brothers Qin for your kindness, but I have important things to do, and I can't be locked up now."
Many officials suddenly sneered: "What's important? Could it be that you are going to the Golden Summit to murder the emperor?"
Not only those in the King of Qi's party said this, but many people in the Emperor's party also agreed with this guess.
As they spoke, these people vaguely surrounded Zu An. As long as anyone started, it was guaranteed to be a melee.
In this situation, even some officials who were usually friendly with Zu An were unable to speak for him.
At this moment, Xie Daoyun suddenly jumped out and stopped in front of Zu An with open hands: "I can testify for Brother Zu that he definitely did not participate in the murder of the emperor."
"Who are you?" Many ministers in the audience questioned, not knowing where a boy ran out. What qualifications did he have to say such a thing.
Xie Daoyunhui's heart was so pure that she keenly felt the doubts of the people around her. She took off her mask and headband at the same time, and her long hair flowed down like a waterfall, and her whole figure suddenly looked slim and graceful.
"Thank you, Miss?" Many people in the audience recognized her. Her father was just a city lord. Although he was a big boss in the local area, he was not taken seriously by these court ministers.
However, her other identity as a close disciple of Master Yan of the National Academy is something that people have to pay attention to. Especially in the imperial court, many rune formations from major families were created by Master Yan.
"Miss Xie, why are you here?" Pei Zheng frowned.
"I was ordered by the teacher to come here to check if there is any killing formation or the like here. Unfortunately, I never expected that the Zhengyang Sect would use the mountain protection formation to separate us." Xie Daoyun's tone was full of annoyance. This time
Clearly the mission was not accomplished.
At this time, Bi Qi said: "Miss Xie, why do you say that Zu An was not involved in what happened today?"
He saw that the other party seemed to be interested in speaking for Zu An, so he took the opportunity to ask.
Xie Daoyun's face turned red, and he raised his head after a moment's hesitation: "Because he was with me during this time in Zishan."
"With you?" All the officials present frowned, it was really troublesome to have Xie Daoyun testify.
At this time, another official sneered and said: "We are not doubting Miss Xie, but Zishan is so big and it is impossible for you to stay together. It is possible that he did some bad things without telling you."
Xie Daoyun took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: "It's impossible, because... because we also live in the same room at night."
Before she finished speaking, her pink face had already turned red.
Zu An also looked at her in surprise, never expecting that she would sacrifice her reputation for him.
The entire Jieyin Hall was in an uproar. The desire for gossip is the same in all worlds. Everyone stared at the two people with strange expressions. This news was too exciting.
Bi Zi'ang was a little jealous. This Miss Xie was the top choice regardless of her appearance, figure, talent and background, but this guy was the first to get the job.
When they think that he was once the man of the famous beauty Chu Chuyan, many people suddenly become envious, jealous and hateful.
The Qin brothers had ugly expressions. This boy was obviously Chu Yan's husband, but he was hanging around all day long. How could Chu Yan and the Qin family deal with themselves?
