Book with Emperor

Chapter 24 Pick Up
At the end of Shenshi, the sunset is westward.

The vendors on Tong'an City Street have already collected their things and returned home, and pedestrians in twos and threes on the street also shrunk their necks and put their hands in their hands. The early winter has quietly cast a cold and desolate feeling on the city.

"Ah!"

On the second floor of the restaurant next to the window, a woman in a red and black dress put on a thick snow fox cape today, and the snow-white fur bordered on her delicate and bright face was only the size of a palm.

She propped her head in boredom and looked at the street outside, until a young man in black came up the stairs, and she regained her spirits.

"how?"

"The entire Tong'an has been surrounded, no entry or exit is allowed."

The young man turned his gaze towards the city gate, "A few days ago, the entire Jiujiang Prefecture soldiers were transferred to Fuyun Mountain to arrest Yue Wentian. Today's Tong'an City is empty, there shouldn't be so many officers and soldiers."

"About how many people?"

"Five thousand."

"Five thousand?"

The woman looked slightly surprised, 5000 people already exceeded the number of soldiers in a city, and they could not be gathered casually, "It seems that we have really caught up with the big show, so many unarmed personnel, I can't think of except one possibility Others."

"what?"

"rebel."

The sky darkened, and a group of heavily armed soldiers poured in from outside the city, quietly heading south of the city.

The woman immediately got up and folded her cloak, and hid behind the railing with the young man, watching the soldiers rushing towards the magistrate's mansion, her eyes lit up, "Let's go!"

The young man frowned, "Master..."

"Don't worry, there are smart people there, they dare not touch me casually." The woman said with a smile, her eyes full of confidence.

The young man nodded, "Yes."

Changfu.

As the sky darkened, Han Zhengwei felt uneasy after all. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he wanted to go to the cell to have a look, but in the end, Chang Fengyuan, who came to make amends, forcibly entangled him.

"Little Marquis, I am sincerely apologizing for your sins, please reward me..."

Behind Chang Fengyuan stood two servant girls, both holding a brocade box in their hands, the lid was opened, and inside were all kinds of jewels, gold and silver.

Han Zhengwei glanced at the jewels, gold and silver, and sneered, "Master, when I stood on the roof and sprinkled gold and silver on Zhuque Avenue, you were still a poor scholar!"

Chang Fengyuan had also heard about the heroic deeds of this young master, but there was nothing he could do about it. His mouth was bitter, so he could only keep laughing, "What the young master said is..."

In desperation, he looked at the general Xuanwei at the side.

However, Sun Chu ate food on his own, very seriously, and thoroughly implemented what General Lou said about cherishing food.

Han Zhengwei sneered, "Has everyone been released?"

Chang Fengyuan paused for a moment, nodded and smiled, "Let's let go, let's let go a long time ago, this meeting will probably leave the city gate."

"Already left? But really? If you lie to me, you won't be able to eat!"

"I don't dare, I really left. If you don't believe me, go to the prison to watch."

Han Zhengwei was overjoyed, it seemed that Yue Wentian and the others already knew that they would not be able to stay in Tong'an City and left in time, which saved him from worrying.

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look."

He intended to test Chang Fengyuan on purpose, but he didn't want to be stunned in place as soon as he stepped out of the room.

Hundreds of soldiers were surrounded outside the gate, all wearing iron armor and holding fine steel, with a chilling aura, the entire magistrate's mansion was already hard to fly!

Han Zhengwei's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Sun Chu, "What do you mean?"

Sun Chu threw away the wine glass, frowned and replied, "Not mine."

"what?"

Han Zhengwei was taken aback, turned around and went into the room and brought Chang Fengyuan out, and said viciously, "That's you?"

Chang Fengyuan was also puzzled, others were transferred to prison cells to resettle people, the entire Jiujiang Mansion soldiers were transferred to Qin Tianjian and have not returned yet, where are there so many people?

Sun Chu walked up to Han Zhengwei, clenched the saber at his waist, "Come here!"

"General Sun, I'm afraid your people won't be able to come."

An arrogant voice sounded, and the surrounded soldiers parted a way, and Yun Zihu, dressed in brocade, walked out calmly.

"Yunzi arc?"

Han Zhengwei gritted his teeth and looked at Chang Fengyuan, "How did he come in? The surname is Chang, you are in awe, there are so many people, is your mere magistrate planning to rebel!"

Chang Fengyuan's face turned pale with fright, "Your official...I don't know about this official, young master, young master... General Sun! I was wronged, I really don't know!"

Han Zhengwei kicked him away, turned to look at Sun Chu, "How about it, have you beaten him well?"

"It's okay to escape."

Sun Chu grinned, raised his hand and drew his knife, and suddenly his expression changed.

Han Zhengwei was startled, "What's wrong?"

Standing there, Sun Chu staggered violently and fell backwards.

As soon as Han Zhengwei supported him, he suddenly thought of something, and looked back at the meals on the table, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He turned his head to look at Chang Fengyuan who was hiding aside, and said sharply, "You brought this dish here, I didn't wrong you, did I?"

Chang Fengyuan was so frightened that he hid behind the pillar, "I... who asked you to investigate the tribute, I... I can't help it..."

"What about my friends? Where are they?"

"It's... in prison."

"Bastard—"

Han Zhengwei gritted his teeth with hatred, and felt that he was really stupid, to believe that Chang Fengyuan would honestly let him go!

Although Sun Chu was not completely unconscious, he also lost his mobility and leaned on him completely.

Han Zhengwei supported him, and looked at Yun Zihu coldly, "Is the Yun family planning to rebel?"

Yun Zihu ignored him and waved his hand, "Catch it."

"Yun Zihu, how dare you!"

Han Zhengwei pulled out the knife from Sun Chu's waist and pointed it at Yun Zihu, "I am the son of Marquis Zhenwei, and Sun Chu is the deputy general of Ling Yunqi, and the emperor conferred the title of General Xuanwei!"

"The Prince of Zhenwei Hou...is that you?"

Yun Zihu frowned and looked at him for a moment, then looked at the person in the corner with a cold expression, "Chang Fengyuan, should you explain to me?"

Chang Fengyuan trembled in fright, and tremblingly said, "I just knew..."

Yun Zihu was sullen, "Where are those two people with him? Who are they?"

Chang Fengyuan estimated the probability of Xia Yunzihu's rebellion being successful, "Those two should be ordinary people."

"you--"

"Don't kill me don't kill me! What I said is true!"

Yun Zihu sneered, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I still need you, the magistrate, to pick up the holy driver."

"Holy driver..."

Chang Fengyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a word, "Young Master Yunyun, this can't be messed up, it's a big crime to kill the nine clans!"

Han Zhengwei also understood what the other party meant when he heard this, and even felt an unbelievable sense of absurdity for a moment.

"...You want to assassinate the emperor?"

"Young Master, I know too much, I don't just lock you up."

Yun Zihu ordered people to tie up Han Zhengwei and Sun Chudu, and then looked up at Chang Fengyuan who was shivering aside, "Where are the two with the young master?"

"I... moved it to the dark room."

"Ah."

Yun Zihu laughed angrily at him, "Chang Fengyuan, Chang Fengyuan, if you say you are smart, you are stupid, and if you say you are stupid, you are a little clever. You have hidden those two people from me long ago, It’s better to leave a way out for yourself, right?”

Chang Fengyuan sneered, "It's a pity..."

"Let your people go to the dark room and bring those two people over."

Yun Zihu looked at him with a sneer, "As for you, it's time to pick you up with me."
