Zhao Yan looked back at the so-called Fa Xiao. Although he could not remember this strange person for the time being, it did not mean that the courtiers did not know him.
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are good. Fa Xiao confessed to him before his death, which also exposed the ambition of Fa Xiao's family.
Since he is very familiar with the whereabouts of Zhao Yan and his party, and also has a firm grasp of the route.
This shows that they have internal connections in the palace.
As for how much role this head can play, Zhao Yan can't say clearly.
"Master Guo, I think we should pause for a while before entering the palace."
White Tiger has always been steady, and his actions and words are all on target.
Zhao Yan had no close followers around him. They had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and Zhao Yan had also demonstrated peerless magic.
In the eyes of Long Wei and others, they have already regarded Zhao Yan as their thigh and brother.
So at this time, he also volunteered to be a think tank.
"Yes, from a security perspective, there is no problem at all, but the key point is that His Majesty Ling Yue is being forced into the palace by evil people at this time. As His Majesty's close confidant, I cannot let it go."
This is not because Zhao Yan really got too involved in the drama and regarded himself as a martial arts master.
But Zhao Yan had already analyzed thoroughly that those people just wanted to use this opportunity to force the empress to kill him personally.
The reason seems to have been written down a long time ago, that is, Zhao Yan took advantage of the opportunity to go to the prison for interrogation to secretly release the Zhao family.
Those assassins speak for themselves.
When he couldn't rob him, he played dirty tricks, framed Zhao Yan, and used the empress's hand to eradicate him.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. The assassins did not succeed and were killed by the Dragon Guard.
The most powerful one was Zhao Yan's Fa Xiao, who was also killed by Zhao Yan with a firecracker.
"Yes, my aunt."
Since Zhao Yan has made this decision, they can only obey, even if they die, they will have no regrets.
"You place the Suzaku, and Qinglong just follow me."
Zhao Yan said calmly.
"Young Master Guo is indeed a talented and courageous person. We are so impressed with him."
The White Tigers admired Zhao Yan even more. They knew they were going deep into a dangerous place, but they still went there alone. Who would dare without real ability?
That was Ouchi who was besieged and forced into the palace by evil ministers. To put it bluntly, once she declined, even the empress might not be able to die well, so she could only compromise and sacrifice Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan rolled his eyes at the flattery. Although he enjoyed the pleasure of pretending, he was definitely not going to die blindly and nonsensically.
He knew that even if those evil ministers forced the palace, they had to be justified in order to convince everyone.
So in the face of no conclusive evidence, he, Zhao Yan, is still safe.
As for the rebellion, Fa Xiao's actions had already told him. If they had the strength to succeed, they wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to intercept and kill Zhao Yan to steal the booklet containing the incriminating evidence.
All these things are enough to show that Empress Jiang Lingyue still controls the situation to a certain extent.
We haven't reached the desperate situation of showdown yet.
This gave him an opportunity for Zhao Yan to appear on the scene.
Maybe Jiang Lingyue can be able to win back a few games by then, thereby creating a good atmosphere for eradicating the chaos.
Inside the palace.
"Your Majesty, I just received the exact news that the traitor Zhao Yan led his troops to rob the prison and wanted to let the Zhao family go."
An old and frail veteran knelt down tremblingly in front of the empress Jiang Lingyue and said.
"Master Chu, what do you mean?"
Jiang Lingyue looked at the old man in front of her with disgust, her pretty face was slightly cold, and she asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, isn't it clear? If Zhao Yan is not eliminated, he will become restless with me."
The old guy stopped pretending and simply spoke his mind, glancing around with a pair of turbid old eyes.
Immediately, dozens of important ministers stood up from both sides, all of whom were important people in the court, and knelt down together to threaten.
"My former military establishment envoy Liu Sanbian seconded the proposal."
"Pan Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of War, seconded the proposal."
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Chu said is absolutely correct, and we agree with you."
For a time, almost all civil and military personnel in the court knelt down, helping Taishi to make Chu Junliang speak.
It can be said that this old man Chu almost overturned the entire court with his own strength.
"My dear ministers, I would like to ask you, what crime is Zhao Yan guilty of, and where is the evidence?"
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Empress Jiang Lingyue remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, and argued with reason.
"Your Majesty, someone came to report that Zhao Yan raided the Tianlao. My son Chu Xiaotian fought desperately with his guards. Soon my son Xiaotian will meet the saint."
Chu Junliang's words were as precise as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Master Chu, if Xiao Tianzhen remembers correctly, he should not be guarding the prison, but the Palace Commander's Mansion. If so, is there any suspicion of leaving his post without permission?"
Jiang Lingyue asked sternly.
"Your Majesty, my son Xiaotian is taking a day off today. He happened to encounter Zhao Yan causing trouble in the Tianlao, so he took action in a righteous manner."
Chu Junliang didn't even make a draft when he lied, and he made his son feel superior with just one mouthful.
"In that case, let the third-level guard of the Xuandian Commandery Mansion, armed with a sword, guard Chu Xiaotian as he enters the palace."
Jiang Lingyue was also impatient and wanted to ask for clarification.
"Your Majesty, I'm back."
At this juncture, Zhao Yan walked into the main hall holding a bloody human head.
The atmosphere in the entire Golden Palace suddenly became silent.
Almost everyone held their breath, and some even had their eyes bulging out of their sockets, staring at the head in Zhao Yan's hand.
Chu Junliang, whose old eyes were dim, was also a little dizzy. He stretched out his sleeves and wiped his muddy old eyes.
Only when Zhao Yan walked in did he see clearly who the owner of the head was.
Even at the same time, there was a person standing unsteadily in the main hall, and his body was as miserable as chaff.
He didn't take his last breath, so he fell down and passed out.
Jiang Lingyue watched with cold eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to handle the case to thoroughly investigate the Zhao family's crime of stealing the country. I have already found out clearly that this is the head of the guilty minister, and all his evidence in court will be handed over to Your Majesty for disposal."
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he presented the pamphlet and the deceased's head.
Look at Zhao Yan, who killed his relatives and brought death to his own family. Based on this alone, how can you put the blame on him?
The head is Wang Shide, Chu Xiaotian's most capable general, who does the dirty work for the Chu family.
The person who fainted was none other than Wang Shide's cheap dad Wang Hai.
They worked together and were so intertwined that it could be said that the empress Jiang Lingyue could not find any flaws.
But today is different. Wang Shide does not have an official position, but only has a white body. How can he participate in the battle in the prison?
Didn’t you receive instructions from Chu Xiaotian?
The most important thing is that the pamphlet was too lethal, and Chu Junliang knew it very well, and sent the killer assassin just to snatch and destroy the evidence.
"It turns out that Zhao Yan was trying to thoroughly investigate the Zhao family's case of stealing the country, and there was a misunderstanding."
Chu Junliang changed the subject and directed his venomous gaze at Wang Hai who was standing aside.
