Zheng Dan and Xie Daoyun couldn't help but look at Sang Hong. Prince Liang's doubts obviously also represented their doubts. They really couldn't understand Sang Hong's actions.
Sang Hong struggled to get up and vomited blood, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, there was a faint smile: "I don't understand what the prince said. Everyone here knows that our Sang family
I have a grudge against Zu, and just now he came to Quanzi's wedding to cause trouble, how could I possibly help him escape?"
The surrounding guests nodded, obviously they agreed with these words, and they were the first to not believe Sang Hong saved Zu An.
Prince Liang's face was gloomy: "If you weren't helping him escape, then why were you blocking me just now?"
Sang Hong replied unhurriedly: "Well, I just saw the battle in the field, and I had an epiphany for a moment, so I subconsciously flew into the sky. Unexpectedly, King Liang also flew up at that time, blocking your way.
I’m really sorry.”
A practitioner's sudden enlightenment is rare and often beyond his control, so it makes sense for him to suddenly move.
However, King Liang knew that he was telling lies with his eyes open. Unfortunately, the other party's explanation was reasonable. Even if he really went to the emperor, he might not be able to sue him.
"What a damn old fox!" King Liang cursed inwardly. He finally experienced the feeling of dealing with Zu An and Sang Hong before.
At this time, Sang Qian's Yuanqi voice transmission asked: "Dad, why are you saving that brat Zu An!"
Sang Hong's words could fool ordinary melon-eaters, but they certainly couldn't be deceived by him. In addition, he was hostile to Zu An in his heart, so his tone was full of complaints.
Sang Hong sighed: "Qian'er, our Sang family is in some trouble this time. If my prediction is correct, we may be regarded as abandoned by the emperor. I'm afraid we will die after returning to Beijing this time."
"What!" Sang Qian was immediately shocked. Although he was captured this time, ups and downs in the officialdom are common, and his father has been favored by the emperor over the years, so this return to Beijing is probably just a show to show off to some people.
People think, how can it develop to the point where death is inevitable?
Sang Hong continued: "I can't explain the details at the moment. I hope it doesn't get to that point."
"But what does this have to do with saving Zu An?" Sang Qian was still worried about this matter.
Sang Hong looked at the direction in which Zu An escaped: "Because he is a variable, and this variable may be able to save our lives."
Sang Qian: "???"
He looked confused and couldn't follow his father's thinking.
Sang Hong did not explain anymore, but glanced at Zheng Dan. With his vicious eyes, how could he not see that there was a problem between the two of them? He thought that asking Zheng Dan to perform a beauty trap a few days ago was probably a fake act.
Already.
He did not tell his son these inferences. Apart from making him furious, it would not be of any use to the situation. On the contrary, it might affect the overall situation.
Variable, variable, what I need now is just such a variable, otherwise I will definitely die after returning to Beijing...
At this time, King Liang waved his hand, and the embroidered messengers immediately came to them and tied them up with the hook ropes in their hands.
The two of them instantly felt that their vitality was trapped, and they were no different from ordinary people at this time.
"Let's tie up the bride too." Prince Liang glanced at Zheng Dan. Not to mention that she was Sang Hong's daughter-in-law, her amazing beauty might be of great use if she was brought to the capital.
Seeing the embroidered messengers walking towards her, Zheng Dan bit her lips, but after noticing the relatives of the Zheng family beside her, she finally allowed them to tie her up.
King Liang got on his horse and said, "Temporarily put him in prison for custody. The others will follow me to Chu's house!"
This time he came to shoulder two important responsibilities of the emperor. One was to bring the Sang family father and son back to the capital, and the other was to capture Zu An.
Comparatively speaking, the emperor gave more instructions to capture Zu An, and even sent an embroidered messenger to accompany him. But today, a grand master of his own, actually let him run away in front of him. If he could not catch him,
Not only will he lose face, but the emperor will probably punish him severely.
…
Let's talk about Zu An's escape all the way. He also saw what happened when Sang Hong stopped the King of Liang for him just behind him. He was also full of doubts in his heart.
It's just that he doesn't have time to think about these things now. What is the top priority?
Now he is almost certain that the Emperor knows about the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra". Such a technique that has the potential to gain immortality would not be a huge temptation for any emperor?
For a moment, he felt a little desperate. If he had offended someone else, no matter how powerful he was, there might be a way.
But this time it was the emperor who killed him, the emperor of a powerful and stable unified dynasty, who was also recognized as the most powerful person in the world!
He didn't naively think that the emperor would let him go after he sacrificed the phoenix to achieve nirvana. Would the egocentric emperor allow a second person in the world to achieve immortality like him?
His first reaction was to seek refuge with the King of Qi. After all, he was well aware of the overt and covert struggle between the King of Qi and the Emperor, and there was also Da Manman who could act as a middleman, but he quickly rejected this idea.
With the power of King Qi, he will surely soon find out what the emperor is looking for.
The emperor wants immortality, doesn’t King Qi want it anymore?
No common man is guilty of having a jade in his possession. According to the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra", every practitioner wants to seize it and get away with it.
Then where else can you go?
Zu An was a little confused. At that moment, he felt that the world was so big that there was no place for him.
Unknowingly, he took out the audio-visual mirror and wanted to contact Chu Chuyan and talk to her, but when he took out the audio-visual mirror, he found that the mirror had cracked.
It must have been that when he was fighting with the Embroidered Clothes Messenger just now, he was shaken by the opponent's hook.
Zu An regretted it endlessly. He had known that he should have received the glass orb after taking it out and using it last time.
He tried to call Chu Chuyan, but unfortunately the broken audio and video mirror did not respond at all. It was obviously completely damaged.
Could it be that God is going to kill me?
On the other hand, King Liang has already led his men to the Chu family without stopping.
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru came out after hearing the news: "Why did the prince go and come back?"
Not long ago, King Liang first came to the Chu family to read out the imperial edict and lifted the blockade on the Chu family. Then he went to the Sang family.
After being rehabilitated, Chu Zhongtian and his wife have been dealing with the settlement procedures with General Wei Liu Yao, and at the same time settling their frightened family members.
King Liang sneered: "You two are asking questions knowingly. Just now those red-robed soldiers wanted to defy the imperial edict and take action against us. As expected, they should have come back to inform you."
Chu Zhongtian's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "We have indeed just received some news, but now we are still a little unbelievable. Is there any misunderstanding in this? Zu An and the emperor cannot have any intersection, so how could they steal from the emperor?
Where’s the stuff?”
The King of Liang snorted coldly, pointed to the embroidered clothes messenger on the side and said: "Ming Yue Gong can't recognize their identities, right? The emperor has even sent out the embroidered clothes messengers, can there be any fake ones? As for what exactly was stolen.
This thing is a royal secret, so please forgive me for not revealing it to anyone else."
Chu Zhongtian's expression changed, and he was obviously still wondering what happened to Zu An that offended the emperor.
However, Qin Wanru on the side gave up: "It's simply too much bullying. During this period, they have used various dirty methods to deal with our Chu family. Now that they are about to fail, they have found such a ridiculous reason to target us."
The son-in-law of the Chu family? Do you really think that our Chu family is easy to bully?"
King Liang's face darkened: "Why, is Mrs. Chu going to rebel?"
"Don't scare me with rebellion. Didn't the late emperor also rely on rebellion to win the country?" Qin Wanru waved her hand, obviously angry, "There is no escape from everything. Since you don't follow the rules first, don't blame me.
Let’s lift the table and see how you explain it to the world! Where is the red-robed army?”
"Here!" Countless red-robed troops surged out from the darkness and surrounded King Liang and his party.
