Zu An smiled slightly and said: "Of course there is a way to save you. In fact, your lives are important even if they are important, and they are not important even if they are not. For the princes in the court, they are more concerned about the prince's lineage and
The King of Qi's party doesn't care much about your life or death whether you win or lose in the battle, so this is an opportunity to save you."
He had just witnessed the scene where Gu Yue Yi almost rebelled. He didn't dare to say that he couldn't save people, otherwise this guy would definitely not cooperate, and he might just turn around and sell him out.
So I can only use this reason to stabilize him first, but in this way I feel a little sorry for Sun Luzhen and Huosan people, and let their joy be in vain.
When Gu Yue heard that there was hope of survival, she was instantly overjoyed: "Master Zu is indeed our lucky star. When I first saw you in Mingyue City, I knew that you must not be a thing in the pool. Hahaha, you are really too good."
alright."
He was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
Zu An rolled his eyes. I didn't see you and I hit it off immediately in Mingyue City. If I remember correctly, it seemed like he wanted to kill me.
At this time, Sun Lüzhen also said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zu, for your generous help. I don't know how to repay you for such a great kindness."
Huo Sanren also said: "I have offended many people on the way to Beijing. Mr. Zu does not remember the faults of others. Huo is very grateful!"
Survival is human instinct, and it is best to survive.
"You two are very polite. Please forgive me for not healing your injuries. Otherwise, others will be suspicious when they see you when they come back." Zu An apologized, feeling sorry for not saving them, and there was really nothing he could do to save them.
"This little injury doesn't matter." Several people laughed. What people fear most is that there is no hope. Now that they know that there is a chance to be rescued, no matter how many injuries they have, it doesn't matter.
After discussing the details with them, Zu An went out to tell Guo Zhi.
Guo Zhi was shocked when he learned that they had recruited him. He just wanted to give him a try, but he didn't expect that he could really pry those guys' mouths open.
What was even more unexpected was that they actually confessed their relationship with Cheng Xiong.
His expression became quite complicated: "Master Zu, is this really what they said?"
Zu An smiled slightly: "Is this important?"
Guo Zhi came to his senses, yes, these are important.
Now the people of the prince's line want to find an opportunity to deal with King Qi, and he can roughly guess the emperor's thoughts. Cheng Xiong was destined to die, but now that his own headache has been solved, everyone is happy.
Thinking of this, he was shocked: "Thank you, Master Zu. Once the matter is completed, Master Zu will definitely be the number one hero."
"Master Guo found out all this, so what does it have to do with me?" Zu An said with a meaningful smile.
Guo Zhi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that the other party didn't want to show off his merits, so he took the initiative to give the credit to himself?
I guess his foundation is still shallow, and he is worried that he will end up badly if he offends King Qi's party like this?
But he is different. With his status, he can perfectly absorb this credit, and there is no need to worry about the revenge of King Qi's party.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother gave me such a big gift. If you can be useful to me in the future, just ask."
Of course, he would definitely have to go and have another trial in person before he could feel relieved, but he had to be grateful for this generous gift.
Zu An secretly complained that just now he was called an elder, but now he is even called a brother.
"Brother Guo is serious, I will rely on him to take care of me in the palace from now on." He is also very good at climbing up the pole, and he also calls himself brother and sister.
Although these fair-weather friends are unreliable in times of crisis, they can still help with some small favors on a daily basis without harming their interests, and this is enough.
The two came out chatting happily, and Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguan, who were waiting outside, were dumbfounded by their affectionate appearance.
On the way back, Pu Duandiao couldn't help but ask: "Did Mr. Zu know Mr. Guo before?"
Zu An shook his head and said: "I don't know."
"Then why is he so affectionate to you?" Jiao Siguan asked curiously.
Zu An laughed: "Who gave me a natural sense of intimacy? Have you seen that I also have a sense of intimacy?"
"Of course, of course." Pu Duandiao quickly said with a smile, why would he refute at this time.
Even Jiao Siguan also agreed. It was not against his will, but he really felt that this guy was inexplicably friendly. It was strange. We probably didn't have any interactions with each other before, so why did we feel friendly.
The two of them then thought about it. Even the Crown Princess used him in such a short period of time. It was normal for them to feel close to him. Everyone should have a good relationship with him in the future. This guy is destined to have a bright future.
The group of people returned to the East Palace with their own thoughts. Zu An reported the results to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess immediately became energetic and hurriedly summoned her confidants to plan the strategy for the court.
Zu An was waiting leisurely to watch the show. He went back first to inform Yunjian Yue about what he saw in the prison.
Hearing that Sun Luzhen and the others were tortured to the point of being reduced to human form, Yun Jianyue sighed deeply: "I was the one who harmed them."
She even had the urge to break into the prison to save them, but she quickly suppressed the idea.
The emperor has returned to the palace these days, and her injuries have not yet recovered. There is no point in breaking into the prison at this time except to die.
Zu An continued: "That apprentice of yours has a bone in the back of his head."
Then he told her about how he happened to meet Gu Yueyi and almost rebelled when he went to Tianlao.
Then he said: "Although I lied to him and said I would save them, I will definitely not be able to hide it for long. Sooner or later it will be a big hidden danger."
Yun Jianyue's expression turned cold: "Then find an opportunity to kill him so that he can never speak."
Zu An was stunned, that's your own apprentice, you want to kill him?
Looking at the long-haired woman with an indifferent expression at this time, he realized that she was the legendary leader of the Demon Cult who kills without blinking an eye.
At the court meeting on the second day, the ministers from the prince's faction quickly raised the Cheng Gang case again, which naturally involved Cheng Xiong. The people in the Qi royal party resolutely protected Cheng Xiong, but Cheng Gang could give up appropriately.
Originally, the two sides would have some meaningless verbal disputes, but in the end everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
Unexpectedly, the officials from the Prince's faction suddenly came up with fatal evidence, which was the confessions of the previously captured assassins. They explained in detail how they used the Jiaofang Division to contact Cheng Xiong and his son. The details were extremely detailed.
At first, the officials of the Qi royal party refuted one after another, but later they became increasingly powerless.
Because everyone knows that the assassins were caught first, and what happened in the Jiaofang Division after Cheng Gang happened later. Unless General Guo Zhidao of the Right Guard reported the news, there is no way that what the assassins said would coincide with what happened outside.
Get on.
As we all know, Guo Zhi is a direct descendant of the emperor. Doesn't doubting him mean that the emperor can frame Cheng Xiong?
No one can be so stupid!
What's more, those assassins are destined to die, so what reason do they have to cooperate with Guo Zhi's rhetoric?
So in the end, the people from King Qi's party also backed down, and several big bosses quickly exchanged glances. Since Cheng Xiong couldn't save it, they could only do the next best thing, cut off the connection between him and King Qi, and don't involve King Qi.
Obviously the emperor did not take this opportunity to directly influence King Qi. The court quickly reached an agreement at an unprecedented speed.
Cheng Xiong and his son colluded with assassins to assassinate the queen and prince and kill the nine tribes.
Fortunately, father and son depended on each other, and there were not many people from the Nine Clans.
The rest of the relevant people were killed and sent to the frontiers.
Zu An and Yun Jianyue were sitting at the table drinking tea and chatting. Yun Jianyue glanced at him and said lightly: "Why, you can't bear it anymore?"
"I feel a little uncomfortable." Zu An fell into silence. As a person who has traveled through a civilized world, he still can't accept such things like killing his family at every turn.
Yun Jianyue poured a cup of tea for him: "That's how things are in the world. Either you kill me or I kill you. If Cheng Xiong succeeded in framing you a few times before, you will be the one being punished by the clan now."
Zu An smiled bitterly and said: "But to a certain extent, it's not a frame-up. I did have some 'collusion' with you."
"You have a strange way of thinking," Yun Jianyue glanced at him in surprise, "Cheng Xiong framed you not because he really knew that you were related to us, his motive was just to find a scapegoat, even if you were
If you are innocent, he will most likely choose you. In the final analysis, you and he are just pawns in the game between the emperor and the king of Qi. You have no control over your life or death. Your first concern should be how to survive longer on the chessboard, not
Consider the life and death of other chess pieces."
Zu An looked stern: "I have learned a lesson!"
Yun Jianyue chuckled: "You guy, it's only at this time that you show some respect to me."
Zu An was smiling and about to say something, when suddenly Eunuch Wen's voice came from outside:
"Master Eleven, the Emperor has summoned you to the Imperial Study Room."
Zu An and Yun Jianyue looked at each other and ran out in a hurry.
On the way, he asked tentatively: "Eunuch Wen, why did the emperor suddenly come to me?"
Eunuch Wen kept his eyes straight: "I don't know about this Sa family."
Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Zu An was secretly angry. This guy usually collected things very quickly, but when something happened, he turned against him and refused to recognize anyone.
But he immediately realized that the other party's attitude was just a hint, wasn't it?
As expected, Eunuch Wen walked in front, his lips moving slightly: "The emperor doesn't seem to be looking very well today. Eleven of you should be careful when dealing with it."
