Hearing what he said, Zu An couldn't help but be a little confused. His first reaction was that this guy was trying to cheat.
I have never even been to the capital, let alone stolen the emperor's things.
However, his expression suddenly changed, because he thought of the previous conversation between Wei Wei and Old Man Mi. It seemed that Old Man Mi had received the emperor's order to lead a group of people to search for the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", but he became greedy after finding it.
, killed the remaining people, pretended to be annihilated, and then hid incognito.
It's a pity that there is no airtight wall in the world, but the palace still found out about him and sent Wei Wei to check it out.
But Wei Wei was already dead at that time, and he didn't know that I had learned the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" before. Could it be that he used some means to notify the palace before he died?
Or something else?
He was not very sure for a moment, and it was not until those soldiers approached him that he realized what was going on.
Sang Hong did not resist because he had too many worries about the family's great cause. A traveler in Zu'an who had no concept of imperial power in his subconscious would certainly not be able to surrender after hearing an imperial edict.
Seeing several soldiers holding shackles to lock him, he dodged away.
Zu An was worried about causing trouble for the Chu family, so he said in a deep voice: "I am me, and the Chu family is the Chu family. Don't throw any dirty water on the Chu family."
The King of Liang said coldly: "I do have some integrity, but it's a pity that I have to be a rebellious minister who resists the imperial edict!"
Just when he was about to give the order, Xie Daoyun hurriedly ran out: "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here? As far as I know, Zu An has never left Mingyue City in his life, let alone the capital. How could he be with me?"
The emperor got involved and stole something from Lord Long Live?"
In fact, everyone in the room had similar doubts. Zu An was a son-in-law who had become a little more prosperous in these days. He was just a street gangster in the past. How could he steal the emperor's things?
Even Sang Hong was confused. He knew best how powerful the emperor's cultivation was. Let alone Zu An, it was absolutely impossible for him to steal anything from him. He really couldn't understand why someone who couldn't beat him would do it.
Connected together.
Xie Daoyun's appearance was outstanding, coupled with the generous and extraordinary temperament when he spoke just now, King Liang couldn't help but take a few more glances: "Who is that girl?"
“Little girl Xie Daoyun, my father is Xie Yi, the Lord of Mingyue City.” Xie Daoyun bowed slowly, with a dignified manner, which made people around her sigh that she was a real lady from a famous family.
“It turns out it’s Miss Xie,” Prince Liang’s face softened slightly. Apparently he also knew that she had been shortlisted for the crown princess, “Why, is City Lord Xie also planning to join the same camp as this imperial concubine?”
Xie Daoyun said hurriedly: "Of course not, I just expressed everyone's suspicions. After all, Zu An stole the emperor's things.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
This reason is really unbelievable, and I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the public. I hope King Liang will explain what he stole.”
Zu An secretly sighed, Miss Xie's family was really interesting, everyone had only met a few times, but she spoke for him at this critical moment.
Zheng Dan on the side also glanced at Xie Daoyun curiously. Although her best friend usually smiled and talked sweetly to everyone, making people feel like spring breeze, she knew the other party's deep sense of situation, and she really couldn't imagine that she would take such a risk for a man.
.
But at this moment, she couldn't care about anything else. She wished that as many people as possible could help Zu An speak up, the better.
King Liang snorted: "Sorry, this matter is confidential and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. Please step aside, Miss Xie, otherwise you will be punished with the same crime as the imperial offender."
“Secret?” Sang Hong narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.
Xie Daoyun glanced at Zu An apologetically: "Azu, I have tried my best. My identity is sensitive and I cannot involve the Xie family."
Zu An smiled: "Miss Xie, what are you talking about? I'm very grateful to you for interceding for me."
The previous incident with Zheng Dan made him understand that women from these big families have to consider many things, and every move will involve the family, so they cannot act willfully.
Seeing his smile, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but be stunned. Normally, countless men around her pretended to be brave and bold, but after the real encounter, their true colors were exposed one by one. Zu An was now a prisoner, and he still
To be so open-minded and courageous is really admirable.
The King of Liang waved his hand: "Come here, take it!"
He respects his status, so of course he can't lose face to take action against such a junior.
It’s just that what happened just now made his soldiers dare not be careless. Suddenly more than a dozen soldiers surrounded him from all directions. They were proficient in formations and combined attacks. It should be enough to capture an ordinary practitioner.
"Who dares to hurt our uncle!" At this moment, a group of red-robed soldiers broke in, surrounded Zu An in the center, and confronted the soldiers of King Liang.
"Red robe army?" King Liang immediately recognized the identities of these people and sneered, "I have always heard of the reputation of the Chu family's red robe army. Today, when I saw them, they were indeed extraordinary. They actually dared to openly defy the imperial court."
A red-robed military captain came to Zu An and asked quietly: "Uncle, what is going on?"
The other party is a prince, and he has come with an imperial edict. The pressure on him is not comparable to that of Liu Yao before. In addition, only a small part of the red robe army has been brought this time. If there is a conflict, the situation may not be good.
"I'm not sure," Zu An smiled bitterly, "You don't have to worry about me, so as not to involve the Chu family."
The famous captain said: "Don't worry, uncle, all the red-robed soldiers are good men, and no one is afraid of death."
What about the conversation between the two?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Having managed to hide this from King Liang, he couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, some people say that the Chu family is disobedient. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the Red Robe Army is really going to shake things up."
Zu An quickly said: "You don't have to get involved in this matter. Return to the Chu family quickly to protect the master and his wife. This is an order!"
Zheng Dan, Xie Daoyun, as a woman, is unwilling to bring trouble to the family. He is a man, so how can he bring trouble to others.
After saying this, he didn’t wait for the other party’s reaction, and rushed outside on tiptoe.
Although he didn’t want to implicate the Chu family, it was impossible for him to capture them without help!
He was just about to move when two dark iron chains suddenly appeared in front of him. They were swinging very fast but did not make any sound. Especially now that night was falling, the darkness added a bit of a ghostly feel.
He was startled, hurriedly pointed his toes, abruptly changed his trajectory and hid to the side.
But before he could stand still, two more iron chains swung over silently and wrapped directly around his feet.
He rolled around like a lazy donkey and hid in extreme embarrassment.
Six more iron chains shot out from all sides, hitting his limbs, waist, and neck respectively, blocking every dodge position.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Zu An hurriedly took out his Tai'a sword and slashed at the six iron chains.
Bang bang bang!
The sword chains intersected, and clusters of sparks exploded. With the sharpness of Tai'a's sword, it did not cut off those iron chains, but only burst out clusters of fire in the dark night.
He only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the energy in his body was surging.
At this moment, I also saw the attackers clearly. It turned out to be the ten warriors who had been following King Liang just now. The clothes on each of them were obviously different from those of ordinary soldiers. There was a "
I learned from Shang Liuyu’s class that the unicorn pattern is the mythical beast Haechi, which is said to have the ability to distinguish between good and evil.
These warriors are holding a dark iron chain in their hands, which is swinging unsteadily, as if they will attack again at any time.
“The messenger of embroidered clothes?” Sang Qian on the side was also shocked and looked at his father inquiringly.
Sang Hong said in a deep voice: "The embroidered messengers are the secret warriors around the emperor. They all have special skills and can act on behalf of the emperor. Although they are also spies in a sense, they are transcendent from the imperial court system. This time the emperor will
They sent it to King Liang, thinking they were going to deal with our father and son, but they didn't expect to deal with someone else."
