"It's actually Daxia Longque. Boy, who are you?"
The bad old man inside the cell door stared at the Dragon Bird Sword.
It represents imperial power. It was this sword that the late emperor used to kill enemy chieftains on the battlefield and create an unparalleled legacy.
Zhao An was slightly startled and said strangely: "How can an old man know about Daxia Longque? Have you seen it?"
"I'm just kidding. I thought about how I didn't see the dragon bird when I followed the late emperor to expand the territory and made great achievements."
The old man stroked his messy beard with great pride.
Zhao An's body trembled.
Unexpectedly, this old bastard turned out to be a general.
"Dare you ask the old gentleman for his name?"
"I won't change my surname even when I am doing it. Xuan Wei is the same."
Xuan Wei...
Zhao An has heard of this name. The former Marquis Wu Tong killed the barbarians in the north and lost their armor for three thousand miles.
The empress said that after Chen Guogong came to power, Xuan Wei resigned and returned to his hometown in Hongnong.
"Hmph, the Chen family's son is despicable and shameless. He wants me to go out and work for him. Who is I? How can I stoop to serve as a thief?"
Although Xuan Wei is old, he still has the unruliness and character of a general. He raised his neck and yelled at Chen for being shameless.
Zhao An thought about it. If such a big man could be brought over, with his prestige, he would be able to strengthen the empress' authority and even win over some people in the army.
Just trying to rescue him is a bit difficult.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao An said: "Old man, do you want to come out and hang out with me?"
"Hey, you don't have a big heart and a bad tone. You think that with the Daxia Dragon Bird, the Chen family will let you go. Let me tell you, today you broke the news and killed the head of the Liu family, that old fox will smash you to pieces. Thousands of corpses."
Xuan Wei was far away from the court, but he could see the situation clearly.
Liu Fa was in charge of the papermaking business and was the reason why Chen Guogong blocked the progress of the scholars in the world. Anyone else would be furious.
Zhao An smiled freely and said, "Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces. You must keep your innocence in this world."
"The little words are all one after another. If you are not afraid, just let me go now and I will do it with you."
"Give me some time and I'll think of a solution."
Zhao An glanced around the cell, and made an appointment with Liu Fa on the day when the queen went home to visit the bride, and an accident would happen and he would be released.
"Keep your word. Remember to arrange good food and drink for me. I eat the steamed buns every day and my mouth is sour."
"Then just wait patiently."
Zhao An waved his hand and quickly walked out of the prison.
Jingzhao Mansion was in chaos.
Liu Fa is dead, this is a big event.
At the same time, Jin Yanggang drafted a document and sent it to all parts of the capital. The charge assigned to Liu Fa was that he led people to break into the Jingzhao Mansion Prison and massacre the court officials. This is an unpardonable crime. This is treason!
Generally, the major crime of treason is to confiscate the house and destroy the family.
Zhao An asked Jin Yang to consolidate his manpower and go to Liu's house immediately.
Jin Yang was startled, "My lord, please don't tease me. How dare I go and ransack my house?"
Yes, even if you give him a hundred courages.
Zhao An comforted him: "I'm not asking you to actually search the house, you just have to do it to show off. If Chen arrives, you can give me a favor and get back. Anyway, you are just following orders."
Jin Yang suddenly understood, immediately mobilized his troops, lit torches and roared away.
Soon, the news of Liu Fa's murder spread, and everyone who heard it was horrified.
Tianshuiyuan also heard the news.
Xu Ruqing and others were stunned, Zhao An was going to break the news!
The Chen family also took action, and the army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was dispatched to surround Jingzhao Mansion in the name of capturing thieves.
When Chen Yuan saw Liu Fa's body and heard that Jin Yang led troops to raid the Liu family's house, he was immediately furious and said, "How dare you do something wrong in this small Jingzhao mansion."
Shi Donghai said: "I'm afraid that if I get the emperor's order, I have to do it. The eldest son will go to the Liu family immediately to relieve the siege."
If Jin Yang gets angry and kills all the Liu family's craftsmen, and then burns down the warehouse, the Chen family's control over the Han family will be completely over.
Without further ado, the troops rushed out of Jingzhao Mansion and divided into two groups.
Chen Yuan personally led one group all the way to Liu's Mansion, and the other group was led by Shi Donghai and went straight to Tianshui Courtyard.
Zhao An walked quickly and returned to Tianshuiyuan first.
Xu Ruqing and Chu Liuyun came over anxiously, followed by Cui Wengong with an ugly look on his face.
Things are big today.
"Master, it's not good! The Chen family has led their people to Tianshui Courtyard!"
A servant stumbled over to save his life.
Zhao An held on to Daxia Longque and looked at Xu Ruqing, "Have you sent someone to inform the noble disciples?"
"Notified. Logically speaking, the news should have been sent. I wonder if anyone has come."
Xu Ruqing was not sure either, her brows and eyes were full of bitterness.
In the final analysis, those noble disciples still have to look at the faces of their elders to act. Now that the imperial decree has given the Tianshui Academy the right to recommend, all parties want to curry favor, but when things come to a close, a few people dare to face the Chen family and make things difficult for them.
Now she can only gamble, because the news she sent before was that Mr. Zhou was captured into Jingzhao Mansion. If the noble disciples didn't know that Chen was dispatched, they might come. After all, Jingzhao Mansion was a small matter to them.
Tianshui courtyard was in turmoil, but for just a moment, torches illuminated the courtyard.
Xiaoguigu Shi Donghai led a large group of people and surrounded a group of people.
Cui Wengong stood at the front, staring coldly at Shi Donghai, who was smiling but not smiling, "Mr. Shi, what are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cui. I heard that Mr. Zhou killed the head of the Liu family and ruined Daxia's paper-making business. This was a major crime against the country. Therefore, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion sent out troops to suppress the rebellion. Please do it for your convenience."
"You're really good at hating me."
Zhao An strode forward and deliberately held Daxia Longque in his arms.
Seeing the Emperor's Sword, Shi Donghai froze immediately.
He thought the Emperor's Sword was in Jin Yang's hand, but he didn't expect it to be snatched away by this shameless guy!
The scene suddenly became awkward.
The Emperor's Sword is tantamount to the Emperor's personal presence. Whoever has it in his hand will have a life-saving talisman.
Therefore, Zhao An was very stubborn and snatched the dragon bird from Jin Yang as soon as possible. Now it is suitable for use.
Shi Donghai's expression changed drastically. He looked around at the environment of Tianshui Courtyard, and a look of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Zhao An screamed loudly: "Hey, hey, hey! You are not planning to rebel, are you?"
"Nonsense! How could I rebel?"
"I'm warning you, I have the Emperor's Sword in my hand. If you kill me, you will kill the Emperor!"
Zhao An was extremely shameless and shouted at the top of his lungs. Not to mention Shi Donghai trembling, the generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the soldiers beside him also became nervous.
It is true that they are vassals of the Chen family, but they dare not bear the charge of rebellion.
If nothing goes wrong, the dynasty will be changed today. Keep your head in your belt. What if the rebellion fails? What will happen to your wife, children and family?
"Report! The Imperial Guards have left the palace!"
"Report! General Xiao is leading his army and is coming from the north gate!"
Two soldiers in a row came to pass the message.
Shi Donghai was stunned, the decision was made in his mind.
