Zu An was taken to live in a quiet large house, which was obviously not too far from the palace. He could vaguely see the high vermilion walls and bright yellow glazed tiles of the palace.
Presumably it was so that he could enter the palace as soon as possible the next morning.
The surrounding security was quite tight, but both Liang Wang and Liu Yao left separately, presumably going back to report on their duties or something like that.
Even Zhu Xie Chixin left, seemingly entering the palace to report something to the emperor.
Looking at the guards who were waiting around him, Zu An was a little confused. Is Zhu Xie so big-hearted? Although these guards are good, three of their top masters have left. Are you really afraid that others will take advantage of them?
He even suspected that Zhu Xie Chixin was bribed by other forces, but no matter whether he asked the Sang family or Chu Chuyan before, they all said without hesitation that Zhu Xie Chixin was the emperor's most trusted subordinate.
If all such trusted people are bribed, then the emperor can just buy a piece of tofu and kill him, and there is no way he can become the strongest person in the world.
Zu An really couldn't figure out the reason for staying outside for one night before entering the palace. He was now like a patient waiting for an injection. It was actually okay once the needle went in, but the most difficult thing was waiting for the needle to go in.
At the same time, he was also curious about why he didn't see Chu Chuyan. The other party had agreed with him to go to the capital in advance to take care of matters. Logically speaking, he should have come to join him at this time.
At this time, Chu Chuyan was in the Qin Mansion, looking anxious: "Grandpa, I have never asked you for anything in my life, but if you stand by and watch this time, Azu will definitely die."
Opposite her was a tall and heroic old man. Although his hair was mixed with a lot of silver hair, it did not make him look old at all, but instead gave him an air of being reborn.
Even though he is old, he can still see his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face is like a crown jewel. It can be inferred how handsome he was when he was young.
He was officially the grandfather of Chu Chuyan, the first person in the military at that time, and the leader of the army Qin Zheng.
At this time, he was concentrating on writing a calligraphy with a brush, seemingly turning a deaf ear to Chu Chuyan's anxiety.
Chu Chuyan bit her lip, feeling anxious. Her grandfather was obviously a military general, but he liked to be arty and liked being praised for being a Confucian general.
Even though I'm not very good at writing this word, I still have to pretend to be like everyone.
Although she complained in her heart, she didn't dare to say it out loud. Grandpa was quite open-minded in other aspects, but if anyone dared to criticize him in this regard, he would immediately get angry with you.
Although his calligraphy is still far from the level of calligraphy masters, and the writing is not very good-looking, there is still a bit of character and charm between the strokes.
At first, everyone praised him in this regard, but later, no one knew who was unconscionably boasting, and the more outrageous the praise became. As time went by, he even thought that he was the reincarnation of the calligraphy saint.
After Qin Zheng finished writing the calligraphy in front of him, he took out his personal seal and stamped it, then showed a satisfied look: "Chu Yan, let's see how grandpa's calligraphy looks like."
Chu Chuyan's eyelids twitched. The words on the picture were "Tranquility Zhiyuan", which was obviously a secret warning to her to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and to completely calm down her mind.
But now that Zu An has gone to Beijing, she can't calm down.
Because he asked for help, Chu Chuyan had no choice but to praise him a few times against his will.
Qin Zheng snorted: "Your tone of voice is too obvious and false. Hum, I remember you never lied before. Now after getting married to that gangster, you have acquired a lot of bad habits."
Chu Chuyan was unhappy: "Azu is not a gangster."
"A gangster who lives on the streets is nothing if not a gangster." Qin Zheng looked dissatisfied, "I don't know what your good-for-nothing father thought, but he randomly found a gangster as his son-in-law in that small place in Mingyue City. It's really unreasonable. !”
Chu Chuyan knew about his resentment towards his father, and it was not convenient for a senior to intervene in such matters.
Qin Zheng hummed with unfinished meaning: "With your appearance and cultivation qualifications, looking around the world, you can't find such a handsome man? As a result, your bastard father and stupid mother married a loser so easily, which made you It’s also a second marriage!”
Chu Chuyan said calmly: "Azu is not a waste. In my heart, all the handsome men in the world combined cannot compare to him."
"What kind of ecstasy soup did that boy pour into you?" Qin Zheng frowned, "You two really have the same virtues."
Chu Chuyan bit her lip, knowing that this trip to her grandpa's house would definitely be unlucky, but for Zu An, she didn't have to worry about much, so she could only explain patiently: "Is there any handsome man in the world who can make the emperor come to the palace?" Heart? Azu's ability to obtain the legendary "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" proves that he is destined to be extraordinary."
Qin Zheng sneered: "It's okay if you don't say this, but I'll get angry if you mention it. Originally, the situation on King Qi's side was very good, but then that brat came up with a "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" that can make us live forever. It fell into extreme passivity.”
Chu Chuyan couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, I have never understood why the Qin family is still involved in the matter of seizing the direct descendants. Although my aunt is the mother of King Qi, she will not tie the entire Qin family to the chariot. Ah, if this kind of thing is not done well, it can lead to a catastrophe of confiscating the family and annihilating the clan."
Qin Zheng said in a deep voice: "You are also a practitioner yourself. You should know that if you don't advance, you will retreat. The Qin family is now the number one family in the military. Is it possible that it will still be the same in ten or twenty years? I don't know how many families below are watching. How can we do nothing if they are waiting to replace us, enjoy our glory, and plunder our resources?”
"It's all your mother's fault!" Qin Zheng became angrier as he spoke, "When your maternal aunt married King Qi's father, we originally intended for your mother to enter the palace as a concubine. In this way, our two families made a bet, no matter which one of them wins. Whoever loses, we all win. But your mother, Lard, is so deceived that she insists on running away with that good-for-nothing Chu Zhongtian, so we can only lean towards one side."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
This was the first time she knew of this reason. Her father was so powerful that he could even abduct a potential princess.
I will tell you why the emperor has been targeting our Chu family all these years. It turns out that there is still this factor.
Noticing that the corners of her lips were slightly raised, Qin Zheng became more and more dissatisfied: "Why are you laughing? It's true that you lose money when you have a daughter. Your mother is like this, and so are you!"
Chu Chuyan knew that he was just angry at him and had no ill intentions, so she hurriedly helped him sit down: "Grandpa, please have a cup of tea to calm down."
Qin Zheng took the tea and moistened his throat: "You used to be cold to everyone, but now you have learned to please others because of that Zu An. I want to see what kind of talent that guy is."
Chu Chuyan was delighted: "Grandpa, did you agree to save him?"
Qin Zheng shook his head: "What kind of person is the emperor? How can he save whoever he wants to die? What's more, it's not just the emperor who wants him to die."
Chu Chuyan's expression changed slightly, and when she was about to ask, Qin Zheng stretched out his hand and directly sealed her acupuncture point: "Come here, take the young lady down. She is not allowed to step out of the door for the next few days."
"Grandpa!" Chu Chuyan was shocked, but no matter how she begged, Qin Zheng remained unmoved.
After waiting for the people to go down, Qin Zheng stood up and looked in the direction of the palace, sighing faintly: "Back then, your mother and I were soft-hearted and harmed her life. I will never make the same mistake again this time."
Let's say that Zu An was meditating in his room when suddenly the door was kicked open. He suddenly opened his eyes, but was stunned for a moment.
I originally thought he was a big-ass assassin or something like that, but what came in was a richly dressed young man with red lips and white teeth. He was thin and looked a bit weak, but it fit perfectly with his overall temperament. He had the image of a handsome young man in a troubled world. It took root in people's hearts all of a sudden.
If we put it back in the past life, I don’t know how many girls spent their youth in school, and even the top traffic stars would have to step aside.
After Zu An came to this world, apart from looking in the mirror, the most handsome person he saw was Xie Xiu, but he didn't expect that there was someone in the world who was more handsome and more like a woman than Xie Xiu.
He subconsciously looked at his chest, which was unremarkable.
Looking at his throat again, you can vaguely see the Adam's apple.
Zu An curled his lips, it's not like a woman is pretending to be a man, that's really boring.
The young man was originally looking at him with some curiosity, but when he noticed the wanton aggression in his eyes, he couldn't help but become angry: "Where are your dog eyes looking? I don't know what my sister likes in you!"
