The reason why Zu An acted harshly was obviously to attack the mountain and shake the tiger. Xu Yu's people were all bullying him. If he didn't express his feelings again, the hearts of his people would be lost, and the other party would become more and more aggressive.
I used to see arrogant and domineering villains say this in TV dramas. I was always eager to try it, but I didn't expect that I really found the opportunity today.
Needless to say, it feels really good.
No wonder so many villains like to shout this slogan.
As for such consequences, he is not worried at all. He is secretly evil, and with his current cultivation level, he is not afraid at all. If it comes from the officialdom, it is a serious crime for the other party to offend the Duke, not to mention that the imperial envoys are all his people. How do you fight me?
Huh? That being said, why is he becoming more and more villainous?
He originally thought that the other party would resist or yell a few words, but he was already prepared for the follow-up.
Who would have thought that as soon as this was said, no one would raise any objection, as if this was the right thing to do.
Fei Xun hurriedly endured the severe pain and handed over his hands to apologize: "I was impulsive today because of my humble duty, and I bumped into the Duke. I hope the Duke will not take offense."
There was no need to be afraid of a crippled Duke who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but the opponent's cultivation just now did not look like he was injured at all.
He was just in a hurry, but he was not a fool. How could he continue to conflict with the other party under such circumstances? He hurriedly called his subordinates and left in embarrassment. As for capturing the fugitives from the demon race, who dared to mention a word.
After these people left, the palace guards and maids surrounded Zu An excitedly: "Your Majesty!"
They have a mutually beneficial relationship with their master. The more powerful the prince is, the more glorious they will be. Otherwise, they will be kicked in the face by a gangster just like they did just now.
At this time, someone hurriedly reported what happened to Yu Yanluo. Zu An nodded: "I understand. Let's call General Wang, General Li, and General Chen... to discuss it."
The names he mentioned were all Jian Yanyou's remaining cronies in the Governor's Mansion, and there were also some people who had always had a good relationship with the Yu family.
After giving the instructions, he came to the inner house again and found Chu Ji.
Chu Ji was crying and talking to Xing Nu. Seeing his arrival, she hurriedly stood up and knelt down: "Please save the lady, Lord."
Zu An helped her up: "I already know everything. Don't cry yet."
After speaking, he looked at Xingnu again: "Where are your people hiding? I will arrange for you to leave the city first."
Xing Nu was in a trance, always feeling that there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he was talking to him.
She was about to answer but hesitated, worried that if the other party deliberately tricked her, the tribe would be in danger.
As Yu Yanluo's personal maid, she naturally knew that the two were a couple in name only.
The only time was that the two seemed to sleep together a few days ago, but afterwards she asked Yu Yanluo in a sideways manner, but the other party said that she and the Duke had nothing to do with each other, so she was worried that the Duke would betray them at this critical moment.
At this time, Chu Ji said on the side: "Sister Xingnu, the Duke can be completely trusted."
Others don't know, but she knows the relationship between the two best.
The lady even asked him to pretend to be a county prince, so he was definitely a trustworthy person.
In fact, she and Liu Ji had privately speculated on the other party's true identity, but both parties had a tacit understanding not to reveal it.
Xingnu was extremely surprised, but considering that Chu Ji was the Duke's bedfellow, it shouldn't be a big problem after she said so, not to mention that she had no one to turn to for help now.
So she answered: "In recent years, because my wife saw that life was too difficult for the tribe in the north, she arranged to do business there, and used the special products there to exchange for the food, medicine, and various daily necessities that the tribe was in short supply, and she did this Everything must be extremely secretive, as long as a little bit of news is revealed, it will be doomed."
"So we carefully selected some smart tribesmen to come to Yunzhong County to run and manage all these businesses."
"At the same time, we also took some tribesmen with good qualifications to study in human society, so that they can better go back and build their hometown."
"At first, Madam was worried about an accident, so she didn't let the clan members stay at the Yu family, but arranged them in various secret places in the city. Now it seems that Madam is really far-sighted."
Zu Anxin thought that Yu Yanluo's mentality must be very tangled. On the one hand, she wanted to take care of her mother's family as much as possible, but due to the thousand-year dispute between the human race and the demon race, she was also worried that her father's Yu family would be implicated.
"By the way, where is Uncle Fu? Can you contact him?"
The old man on the carriage came to mind. He was indeed very powerful. With his protection, Yu Yanluo would not be captured so easily this time.
"My wife sent him to the next county to deal with a batch of robbed goods. Calculating the time, he should be back soon. As long as I leave the city, I have a way to contact him." Xing Nu replied.
At this time, Chu Ji replied: "It's just that the city gates are now closed, and it may be difficult to get out of the city. Moreover, the county prince must also be under special surveillance. If you are escorted out of the city in his name, he will be very serious once exposed." Danger."
Xingnu was also very confused and said hurriedly: "I don't dare to let the Duke take risks. Whether we can leave the city is a trivial matter. I beg the Duke to rescue the lady."
Zu An thought for a while and replied: "You don't have to panic, I will save my wife, and I will also find a way to get you out of the city. You first go and inform the clansmen left in the city to be calm, and don't be exposed and caught on impulse. , it would be more troublesome to rescue him. Please don’t come forward, Xingnu, we are searching for you everywhere now.”
Chu Ji said: "Let me inform you."
Zu An glanced at her: "Be safe, there are probably people watching the Duke's Mansion now."
Sensing his concern, Chu Ji blushed slightly and lowered her head in embarrassment: "Don't worry, I've been trained in this area before, it'll be no problem."
Zu An nodded and comforted the two women. Soon, servants from outside came to report, and the generals came over one after another.
"So fast?" Zu An was a little surprised. When he asked, he learned that because of the incident in Yu Yanluo, a group of people hurriedly came to him to discuss it subconsciously, and they happened to bump into the people he sent out.
Zu An then went out to discuss with these generals in the secret room. Not long after, a group of people came out with solemn expressions.
Soon, several armies gathered outside the city in a mighty manner.
Because of checks and balances, the main force of the Governor's Mansion is basically stationed outside the city.
The soldiers guarding the city were immediately extremely nervous. They guarded the city gate tightly and sent people to report to Xu Yu.
However, Xu Yu has no time to deal with the news now, because "Jian Yanyou" has already arrived at the county governor's mansion with himself and the private soldiers from the generals' mansions.
While Xu Yu asked his men to be on guard everywhere, he greeted the other party at the door with a smile on his face: "Isn't the Duke recovering from his injuries? I didn't expect him to recover so quickly."
At the same time, Xiao Yao stood beside him holding his sword, obviously to prevent the other party from trying to capture the thief first.
Sang Hong also rushed over after hearing the news.
Zu An glanced at everyone in the field and said coldly: "If you don't come out, things will change."
Xu Yu shook his head: "No matter what happens, this day belongs to the Zhou Dynasty and the Emperor, and it cannot be changed."
Zu An knew that he deliberately said this to put pressure on the court and the emperor, and said calmly: "Jian has worked hard these years. Not to mention how much he has contributed to the court, it is considered a lot of hard work, but why doesn't Mr. Xu I want to arrest my husband’s wife for questioning!”
Xu Yu replied: "The Duke has misunderstood. I have no intention of targeting the Duke. The reason why I arrested Jade Yanluo is just because she is Medusa, a demon clan lurking in human society!"
As soon as these words came out, the ordinary soldiers on Zu'an's side looked at each other. They only knew that Yu Yanluo had been arrested before, but they didn't know the specific reason. When they heard that she was Medusa, they all showed doubts.
The generals also frowned slightly. They had heard some rumors before, and they still didn't believe it. They didn't expect this to be the reason.
"That's nonsense," Zu An shouted loudly, "I can't tell whether my own wife is a human or a demon. Do you, an outsider, need to tell her?"
As soon as he said this, his men nodded, and the little commotion quickly subsided.
In their view, this was just Xu Yu's frame-up.
Xu Yu replied: "The demon tribe has always been cunning, so it is not surprising that they were deceived. I am ashamed to say that I have been swayed by Madam Yu's charm before, and it was not until recently that I discovered the truth. Don't worry about it, sir. Come and give the evidence to me." The county magistrate has taken a look at it."
Zu An naturally knew what the evidence was. If it were released, his side's morale would collapse. He raised his hand to stop it: "No need! After getting along with each other for these years, I know clearly what my wife is like. She usually doesn't even care about killing chickens." , if you accidentally step on ants on the road, you can't help crying. For such a kind-hearted woman, you wrongly accuse her of being a monster. It's simply ridiculous. Even if there is any evidence, it must have been forged by you."
The soldiers thought of Yu Yanluo's unparalleled elegance and how gentle and kind she was to others, and they all started shouting that they were wronged.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the generals did not believe that Jade Yanluo could be a kind of Medusa.
Xu Yu frowned: "As far as I know, the Duke and Yu Yanluo have only been a couple in name in recent years. They have not lived together all year round. It is normal not to know her true face."
Many people in the venue immediately started talking. Only a few people knew the true situation of Jian Yanyou and Yu Yanluo. Now that everyone knew that they were only a couple in name, everyone was extremely surprised.
Many officials even started to breathe quickly. The two of them were not a real couple. Yu Yanluo was still a virgin, so wouldn't we also have a chance?
But when they thought that Jade Yanluo might be Medusa, everyone frowned.
"Haha, there is no need to sow discord between us husband and wife," Zu An replied, "The reason why I separated from my wife is because we are both heads of our respective families and have busy things to deal with. But this does not affect our relationship. We often get together for trysts on weekdays, and I definitely know much more about her than Master Xu."
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and Zu An's men naturally believed in what their own prince said.
Xu Yu, on the other hand, believed Xu Yu's words more and couldn't argue for a while.
Xu Yu's face darkened: "My lord, are you determined to protect the demon clan?"
"Don't blame me, I'm just here to save my innocent wife." Zu An then made a move, and the guards behind him unsheathed their swords, and a chilling atmosphere suddenly emitted from the field, "Today I want to take my wife home. , whoever dares to stop me, don’t blame my men for being ruthless!”
