Hearing these words, Zhang Qingjiu's eyes widened.
Huo Yang lost his temper and shouted coldly: "It's just you, I won't regret dying!"
As he spoke, the sword in his hand moved closer to him.
Zhang Qingjiu didn't speak, Chu Lan didn't speak either, and Feng Zhi wished he was the sword.
Seeing their unmoved expressions, Lord Zhenguo finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Your father is in my hands! If you don't want him to die, you'd better be wiser!"
"Who?" Zhang Qingjiu was stunned for a moment.
"Zhang Tailiu, the former Prime Minister Zhang, your father." Seeing Zhang Qingjiu frown, the Duke of Zhen Guo finally couldn't help laughing and said happily: "If you don't agree to me, let him die with me.
Well, then the whole world will know that you, Zhang Qingjiu, are a ruthless and rebellious person who killed his father!"
Zhang Qingjiu raised her eyebrows. No wonder she felt something was wrong. It turned out to be here.
but……
Zhang Qingjiu was about to speak when Chu Lan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly took two steps forward and asked, "Is Zhang Tailiu here with you?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Duke Zhen Guo sneered, "How about it? Your Highness, how about we make a deal? I know she is ruthless, but His Highness the Crown Prince cares about her so much that he shouldn't have the heart to let her carry the burden of murder.
Is it because of the father’s name?”
Looking at Chu Lan's thoughtful eyes, Duke Zhen Guo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that it was a good thing that he had taken Zhang Tailiu in when he came over, but he didn't expect that it would actually come in handy.
In Dahui, killing one's father is the same as bullying the emperor. No matter how careless Zhang Qingjiu is, he still has to consider the weight of the matter.
Zhang Qingjiu also knows this.
but……
Seeing Chu Lan's eyebrows frowning slightly, Zhang Qingjiu couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart, knowing that he was really thinking about this matter.
He took a step forward and said mockingly: "Does the Duke of Zhen Guo think too highly of me?"
"What do you mean?" Seeing the slightest smile on Zhang Qingjiu's face, Lord Zhen Guo suddenly had a bad feeling, but he did not dare to show it at all.
"What? Don't you think it's good?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingjiu's smile became brighter and brighter, with a look that could see through his mind, "It's not bad, because you... think too highly of me. I don't
You think of him as a noble and upright person, not to mention that he once wanted to sever the father-daughter relationship with me in front of all my colleagues at the door of the Council Hall. Even those things he did, he was able to come out of the prison unharmed, which can be regarded as a success.
In this scene, a rebellious traitor wants to trade a despicable villain who wants to work together with him in exchange for a chance of survival. Do you think... I'm stupid?"
"You!" Duke Zhen Guo never thought that his last bargaining chip would look worthless in Zhang Qingjiu's eyes. He was so angry that his chest heaved. He held on for his last breath and shouted inside, "Come on.
Man! Take him out!"
There was only a "click" sound, and the wall in front of everyone suddenly moved away, and a man in black came out with Zhang Tailiu on his back, a black dagger glowing with cold light.
When Zhang Tailiu saw Zhang Qingjiu, he immediately shouted, "Jiu'er, save dad! Save dad!"
Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes and slowly looked away.
"Zhang Qingjiu, no matter how eloquent you are, he is right in front of you. Do you want to save him or not? As long as I give the order, the entire Dahui will know that you are a cold-blooded and ruthless person!" Duke Zhen Guo said again.
shouted.
At the same time, Zhang Tailiu also spoke, looked at Chu Lan angrily, and said with a vigilant expression: "Jiu'er, don't get involved with Chu Lan anymore, it's him, he caught me, and he will also
I was sent to Prince Jing's Mansion! He has been using you from the beginning to the end! If I hadn't escaped cleverly, I might have died by now. Fortunately, I met Duke Zhen and saved me. He is our savior.
ah……"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around Chu Lan changed their expressions, and looked at Zhang Tailiu with eyes filled with anger.
Especially Feng Zhi, whose eyes were like spitting fire, couldn't help but defended: "Nonsense, it was clearly because you wanted to do evil in the Wei Mansion, and our Crown Prince did it..."
After saying this, Feng Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, and his face instantly turned pale.
Regardless of the reason, what he just said is tantamount to indirectly admitting that they arrested him?
Zhang Tailiu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Ajiu, did you hear that? They, they themselves said..."
"Shut up." Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, glared at Zhang Tailiu, took a deep breath, and looked at Chu Lan seriously, "Is what he said true?"
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, was silent for a while, and nodded gently.
"Ahem..." Zhang Qingjiu sighed, shook his head and lowered his eyes.
"Master Xiao Zhang, our Highness..." Seeing her like this, Feng Zhi immediately became nervous and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but was stopped by Zhang Qingjiu.
He raised his head calmly, Zhang Qingjiu's eyes clearly showed the regret, and his tone was unprecedentedly regretful, "Look, I said you were soft-hearted, why did you send him to Prince Jing's Mansion in the first place, why did you kill him directly and what happened today?"
Kill...directly?
As soon as these words came out, Duke Zhen Guo and others' eyes widened instantly.
Zhang Tailiu was furious, his face turned black, "Evil girl! Is this what you said?"
Zhang Qingjiu touched his nose, turned around and smiled, "Yes, I said that."
Huo Yang looked at Zhang Qingjiu's decisive look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart and nodded in approval. She was indeed a woman recognized by His Majesty and His Highness, as well as his own boy. She was indeed courageous and full of wisdom.
Seeing Zhang Qingjiu return to her side, Chu Lan's eyes became filled with pity, "Ajiu, if you want to save..."
"Don't." After interrupting Chu Lan, Zhang Qingjiu rolled his eyes, "Whoever ends up with such a father will be unlucky. I won't save him."
Knowing that Zhang Qingjiu really didn't care, the stone hanging in Chu Lan's heart fell to the ground.
"Wait." At this moment, Zhang Qingjiu suddenly frowned.
Chu Lan's eyes flashed, and the hand raised behind her back slowly dropped.
Zhang Qingjiu muttered, "It's not good for you to kill him."
People all over the world are talking about it. If someone who doesn't know the truth really wants to spread the news that the prince of a country has killed the former prime minister, it will not be a good thing for the common people today.
Rather than being killed, it would be better to...
With a flash of his eyes, Zhang Qingjiu raised his sleeves and robe.
A "hissing" sound suddenly sounded, and then a black afterimage flew out at a speed that no one expected.
Soon, the sound of wailing could be heard in the room. When everyone came to their senses, Zhang Tailiu had fallen to the ground, bleeding from all his orifices, and he could not rest in peace.
And a small black snake with golden horns on its head was coiled around his neck, with its fangs exposed, spitting out apricots, and wagging its tail...
The people in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion were shocked by the scene in front of them, and they became agitated one after another, especially the female relatives. When they saw this kind of thing, they turned pale with fright and exclaimed:
