Ji Hongluan frowned slightly, with some doubts in his eyes:
"What do you mean, what's over?"
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly:
"In short, now Zhou Tianfu has rebelled, and he has also rescued Chu Yanwu... Don't you think our mission has been completed?"
He felt that there was no need to explain this...
Ji Hongluan thought for a moment and suddenly realized:
"So this is ah……"
"Actually, what you said is right...it seems like we really have nothing to do with us now!"
She hesitated for a while, then asked hesitantly:
"Then do you mean that we have to return to the palace now?"
In fact, Ji Hongluan always feels that she still has things to accomplish here. This is her intuition.
Xiao Chen laughed, nodded, and said enthusiastically:
"This is not the case!"
"If we win the battle, we will naturally go back to the palace to receive our merits and...rewards!"
Ji Hongluan Ruoyouruowu nodded:
"Then let me escort you there!"
"You just started taking the Qianyuan Blood-Burning Pill, and your body is probably quite weak now."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his figure swayed slightly.
My mental state was very high just now, and I didn't feel weak physically yet...
Now that Ji Hongluan said this, he really felt weak all over and losing both energy and blood.
Ji Hongluan frowned, gently held Xiao Chen up, and then injected a burst of true energy.
Xiao Chen felt a little better because of this infuriating energy. Ji Hongluan took out a few pills and handed them to him:
"This is to replenish qi and blood, but the medicine is harmless, you can take it!"
Xiao Chen nodded, swallowed it in one gulp, and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
Ji Hongluan shook his head:
"Why do you want to thank me... I still feel a little guilty in my heart. If I hadn't come too late, you wouldn't have ended up like that!"
Xiao Chen only had a feeling of emotion in his heart:
"You didn't come too late, and the situation just now was indeed not something you could decide..."
Xiao Chen has never been a person who likes to blame others.
Ji Hongluan nodded:
"It's better not to say it."
"Let's go back to the palace quickly!"
Xiao Chen and Ji Hongluan rode back to the palace.
The road from the palace gate to the Government Hall was stained with blood, but the body was gone.
Xiao Chen knew that Zhao Jiajun had probably started to clean up the battlefield.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Government Affairs Hall, the situation was even more tragic.
Broken weapons, mottled blood, corpses... are the main elements here.
It seemed that the war had only ended not long ago.
Before Xiao Chen entered the Government Affairs Hall, he saw several soldiers surrounding Zhou Tianfu with eager eyes, while Zhou Tianfu slowly walked to his side under the direction of the soldiers' blades.
Xiao Chen's expression was full of fun, and he asked with a smile:
"Isn't this our Prime Minister?"
"Why, you are so embarrassed!"
Zhou Tianfu's eyes were very calm and did not show any anger or resentment:
"Xiao Chen, you really exceeded my expectations."
His posture is still proud, and he still has the aura of power that was unparalleled in the world.
When Xiao Chen saw him like this, there was a hint of teasing in his eyes:
"Have you not figured it out yet? You are now a prisoner and will soon become a dead soul under the sword..."
"Even before you die, you will have to endure the pain of Ling Chi and the pain of destroying your family and destroying your family!"
"Do you still think you are a famous powerful minister in the world?"
Zhou Tianfu was as calm as ever when faced with Xiao Chen's questioning.
Even though his body was covered with wounds, blood slowly dripped down his blood vessels and formed a stream on the ground.
After a while, he suddenly laughed.
His smile was very carefree, with a rebellious tone, as if he was venting or accusing.
Xiao Chen just frowned:
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The Prime Minister should understand this very well!"
"From the day you prepare to rebel, you must be prepared to suffer failure, and the result of failure will be that your entire family will be wiped out and your entire clan will be slaughtered!"
"As for your name, it will also be nailed to the pillar of shame, recorded in the history books, and despised by others for thousands of years!"
In fact, Xiao Chen really hates Zhou Tianfu.
It’s just that this guy had a problem with him. He wanted to take his life again and again, and he caused trouble for him several times before...
If possible, Xiao Chen wouldn't mind saying something heart-breaking.
But Xiao Chen was a little surprised that his words did not cause any trouble to Zhou Tianfu.
Zhou Tianfu just glanced at Xiao Chen lightly:
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit?"
Xiao Chen vaguely felt that something was not right, and frowned and asked:
"Is not it?"
"History is written by the winners, and only those who win will have the last laugh."
Zhou Tianfu showed no sign of Xiao Chen's words.
There was a hint of meaning in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up:
"Maybe, maybe it's really true that I have to admit my defeat..."
At this moment, several soldiers beside Zhou Tianfu frowned and said:
"Treacherous Prime Minister, what are you talking about? If you don't hurry in, His Majesty is still waiting for you in the Government Affairs Hall!"
"That's right! Stop talking nonsense to us, hurry in, and wait for His Majesty to question you!"
"..."
One soldier even impatiently poked Zhou Tianfu in the back with his spear.
Zhou Tianfu didn't talk nonsense with Xiao Chen anymore. He glanced at Xiao Chen again, then turned around and headed towards the Government Affairs Hall. And in this distance.
Concubine Rong's body happened to be on Zhou Tianfu's only path.
Her face was pressed to the ground, and the wound on her neck had frozen. The delicate skirt was covered with dust, and the beads on her temples were scattered, giving people a sense of sadness and sadness.
In fact, Concubine Rong should be Zhou Tianfu's most beloved daughter, and the legitimate daughter he raised with the greatest effort.
However, when Zhou Tianfu came, he did not cast his eyes on Concubine Rong.
Not even a trace.
His face was calm, as if he was just entering the palace to see Chu Yanwu normally.
When he passed by Concubine Rong's entity, he only glanced at her vaguely, then stepped forward.
Xiao Chen was communicating with Ji Hongluan outside the door. When he saw this scene, he felt quite emotional.
"Zhou Tianfu is really nothing!"
He sighed and said to Ji Hongluan: "Before Concubine Rong died, she was at least thinking about the Zhou family... Let alone asking Zhou Tianfu to restrain her body, this old dog didn't even look at her!"
Ji Hongluan was also quite disdainful:
"That guy Zhou Tianfu is so disgusting, what kind of warm things do you expect him to do?"
"But when will you enter the Government Palace?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and said:
"It will probably take a while and a half!"
"The emperor is still angry now. He will probably have to argue with Zhou Tianfu for a long time before I can appear!"
He was actually quite curious about what would happen if the confrontation between king and minister would happen... But since Chu Yanwu wasn't looking for him, he'd better leave it alone.
Ji Hongluan thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"That's okay."
