The assassin who broke into the back mountain was slim and obviously a woman.
Her cultivation level is pretty good, and she can always use speed or intelligence to throw off the pursuers behind her. However, there are formations everywhere in the back of the academy, and she will eventually be caught.
Zu An was surprised because this woman turned out to be the acting princess Meng Chan!
I just heard the news that she escaped from prison a few days ago. If she didn't take the opportunity to fly away, why would she come here?
Isn’t this just throwing yourself into a trap?
At this time, Meng Chan at the foot of the mountain was also in a panic. She had been extremely qualified since she was a child, and her cultivation was among the best among her peers, so she was able to break into the back mountain.
It's a pity that the defense here is too tight. There are formations everywhere, and you can accidentally trigger them. Although you are not trapped by those formations with some family magic weapons, such movements are like bright lights attracting the pursuers.
She narrowly escaped from one siege several times, and soon fell into another siege.
Seeing the guards surrounding her from all directions, Meng Chan finally fell into despair. She had exhausted all her means and had no other options.
Thinking of this, she threw the weapon in her hand on the ground: "I'm here to see you offering wine, take me to see him!"
But no one answered her. After all, a person broke into the forbidden area at the back of the National College by abnormal means at night. He was obviously an enemy, not a friend.
Of course, these guards were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that the assassin who broke in was such a beautiful woman. Because the night clothes were tight, her figure was perfectly outlined.
Seeing the guards pointing their spears at her, Meng Chan had no doubt that as long as someone acted impulsively, they could lead others to prick her into a hedgehog in an instant.
She didn't even dare to reveal her identity as the acting princess. Now she has become an imperial prisoner. Once these people find out and catch her, they will send her back as soon as possible, and it is impossible to see that person.
"Sacrifice wine, Prince Regent, I want to see you!" Meng Chan had no choice but to shout towards the top of the mountain. She knew that it was impossible for the sound to be transmitted up from such a long distance, but she had no choice.
Could it be that I, Meng Chan, pride myself on being smart and beautiful, but am I destined to end up like this in the end?
She fell into deep despair. After a while, she suddenly noticed something was wrong. She raised her head and found that the guards around her had disappeared. Instead, there was a tall and handsome man standing there.
Meng Chan was a little distracted for a moment. That day, this man came like a demon. Countless masters from the Dai Wang Palace and the Meng family fell in his hands, turning their prosperity into ruins.
"You want to see me?" Zu An was a little confused. He really didn't understand what kind of medicine this woman was selling.
Meng Chan took a deep breath and calmed down all the turbulent and complicated emotions: "Yes, I asked the maid to come and tell you before, but you refused, so I had to come out to find you myself."
Under the moonlight, she was dressed in night clothes, but her face was white and rosy, which made her even more beautiful.
Zu An couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity. Did this woman escape from the prison all the time just to see me?
"I don't think there is anything to talk about between us." Zu An said calmly, "And if you come to see me, you are destined to be unable to escape."
"I didn't plan to escape when I got here." Meng Chan's chest, which had just risen violently, slowly calmed down.
"Are you planning to take revenge? Your cultivation is indeed good among your peers, but it's a pity that it's too far behind me. I won't give you another chance to take revenge in the future." Zu An doesn't want to let the tiger go back to the mountains. What happened before was too bad. I am too lazy to bother with her, but now they are all here. If I let her go again, I will really have a problem.
I have watched so many movies and TV shows in my previous life, and every time the villain felt that the protagonist was too weak and let them go, only to be killed by the grown-up protagonist in the end...
Bah, bah, bah, I’m not a villain!
Meng Chan shook her head: "I'm not here for revenge, and I don't dare to have any thoughts of revenge. I'm just here to negotiate a deal with you."
Hey, what does it mean to be good among your peers? Aren’t you also my peer?
「
trade? "Zu An's tone was somewhat sarcastic, "I am your father-killing enemy."
He didn't think that with such a blood feud, the other party would sincerely deal with him, and he didn't think that she had anything he needed.
"The living are always more important than the dead," Meng Chan looked very calm. She was still looking at Zu An's expression carefully when she spoke. Seeing his disbelief, she had no choice but to explain, "Prince Regent, maybe you used to live in Mingyue." Cheng, I’m not too sure about the behavior of people in our circle.”
"As long as the rational people in our circle value future interests, they don't care about personal grudges. Any grudges are nothing compared to family interests."
"Even if it's revenge for killing his father?" Zu An sneered.
"Yes," Meng Chan answered with certainty, "The hatred of killing one's father and taking away one's wife may be sworn hatred for some civilians, but for us, it is not that important. Of course, the premise is that there is Enough benefit."
Zu An was a little confused. Back then, whether it was Sang Qian or Zheng Dan, they all put the interests of the family first, even at the expense of their own happiness.
This is also true for women who come from big families.
He came back to his senses: "Enough benefits? I can guess your purpose of coming, and I can indeed provide you with enough benefits, but unfortunately, you can't have anything that interests me."
This woman's purpose is obviously for the Meng family and King Dai. Although the strength of the two families is severely damaged, their foundation is still there. As long as the court pardons them, they will still have a chance to recover in a hundred years, and they will have a place in the capital.
But if we follow the order given by the queen before, then the whole family will really be finished, the men will be exiled to the army, the women will be slaves, and a top family will really disappear from this world.
"No, I must have something you are interested in!" Meng Chan's eyes were particularly bright, and she was obviously very confident.
Zu An frowned: "Let's talk about it first."
He also became a little curious. This woman was a smart woman, so she naturally knew the consequences of teasing him. What on earth made her so confident and sure now?
Meng Chan opened her red lips slightly, hesitated for a moment and then said, "This matter is confidential. Can we go to the wine ceremony room to discuss it in detail?"
Seeing the other person's slight frown, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I have a world-class cultivation of Jijiu, so you're not afraid that a weak woman like me can hurt you, right?"
"Don't provoke me," Zu An snorted, "If you let me know that you are lying to me later, you should know the price."
He immediately turned around and walked up the mountain. Meng Chan was overjoyed and hurriedly followed him.
Unexpectedly, Zu An just gradually took a step forward and was already halfway up the mountain. She was frightened and panicked. What was frightening was that the other party's cultivation was really unfathomable. What was frightening was how she could possibly keep up with him. There are countless forbidden formations on this mountain, and they have suffered enough just now.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a soft force came to her, and then her whole body felt like it was soaring in the clouds. .
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already outside the courtyard on the top of the mountain.
She sighed secretly. She didn't even see clearly how he did it. He was obviously so young and about the same age as me, but how did he cultivate to this point.
Zu An opened the door from the front, and she hurriedly followed.
Zu An stood in front of the window, his back turned to her, looking at the moon in the sky. The moonlight today was quite beautiful.
"Say it."
Seeing that the other party had his back turned to her without any defense, Meng Chan did not dare to have the slightest idea of assassination. She took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Back then, Bi Qi was the person in charge of the operation that killed the former prince and grandson."
Zu An frowned and said coldly: "What does this have to do with me?"
Meng Chan replied: "When I was hiding here and there these days, I heard some rumors from the overpass. The regent seems to be the grandson of the previous dynasty?"
Zu An was shocked. During this time, he was busy refining alchemy and practicing, but he ignored this information. Who spread it.
He snorted: "These nonsense rumors in the market, the embroidered clothes messenger will go away
Trace the source. Are you using these shady things as bargaining chips? "
Meng Chan had been observing his reaction carefully, but the other party was calm from beginning to end, so that she could not see anything.
"Of course not. Please look back at me, Prince Regent."
Zu An's mind noticed that her hand reached into her arms, as if she was going to take something out, and turned around curiously.
Unexpectedly, the other party directly untied his belt, and the clothes on his body slipped from his shoulders like silk, revealing a white and beautiful young body. It was not known whether it was because of the cold night wind or nervousness, but his body was shaking involuntarily.
Her breathing became visibly faster, and a faint blush gradually appeared on her fair skin.
Zu An looked at her calmly: "To be honest, I have heard many rumors about you before, saying that you are an extremely smart woman, but what you did today made me a little disappointed."
Meng Chan bit her lip tightly, her originally red lips turned a little white from her bite.
She is indeed good at many schemes, including honey traps.
But that was just a strategist role. The actual implementation was to send some women who had been strictly trained since childhood to do it. This was the first time that I personally went into battle, and it turned out to be a mess.
Yes, her majestic acting princess, the rich daughter of the Meng family, has been living in the home of the most powerful man. What man in the world needs her to personally use her beauty trap, and how does she know how to seduce men.
"If this is your bargaining chip, you can get out now." Zu An felt a little irritated. What did this woman think of him?
Could it be that in everyone's minds, I am the kind of stallion who can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl?
Meng Chan is very beautiful, but there are so many confidantes around him, all of them are beautiful and fragrant, how can he be seduced by her?
"No, this is not my bargaining chip, but a gift, a gift to apologize." Meng Chan gradually calmed down after the initial panic, "Prince Dai and the Meng family have offended you a lot some time ago. Your heart is filled with anger, and as the acting princess and the daughter of the Meng family, I have the responsibility to calm your anger for them."
"That's not necessary," Zu An looked at her sternly, "If you don't tell me about your bargaining chip, you may never have the chance to speak again."
