Princess of the auxiliary country

Huo Jingzhi didn't say anything more about Shen Huan's explanation.

He also believed that Shen Huan had no involvement in this matter. After all, Shen Huan was a smart man, and Emperor Zhaowu's attitude was so obvious.

As the eldest brother-in-law of Emperor Zhaowu, he might be selfish in some matters, but he has always been a firm supporter in matters of great right and wrong.

Because he knew very well that once Emperor Zhaowu lost his trust, the Shen family would not be far away from falling into ruin.

Therefore, even if this incident would have a great impact on the Guanzhong Group, he was very unwilling to see it, and would not take the initiative to destroy it, let alone stand against Emperor Zhaowu because of the so-called Guanzhong Group.

After all, this Guanzhong Group is not just the Shen family.

"I naturally believe that Duke Zhao will not interfere in this matter, but again, I will never let go of those who plan to attack my daughter."

"Blood debts are paid with blood, and I will not affect anyone who has nothing to do with it."

Naturally, Huo Jingzhi would not target all of the Guanzhong Group foolishly. This would be very unwise.

But those who are targeting his daughter must be moved. This is a personal grudge. If the people of the Guanzhong Group want to unite for this, although he will be afraid, he will take a breath for his daughter and save the face of Duke Ji. , he doesn’t mind touching it either.

Hearing such words, Zhao Guogong Shen Huan wanted to say a few more words, but he had no position. After all, it also involved him.

He was the one who spread the news about the diversion. He also has a certain responsibility for causing such a thing.

Now that Huo Jingzhi has stopped holding him accountable, if he continues to be ignorant of good and evil, it would be really unjustifiable.

"Since it's a personal grudge, I won't say anything. It's all their own fault."

After finishing speaking, Shen Huan did not stay long.

After seeing him off, Huo Jingzhi returned to the backyard and told Princess Ningyang and Huo Junyao about the matter.

Huo Junyao and her daughter didn't say anything about Huo Jingzhi's attitude, and they seemed to agree with his approach.

"Mom and Dad, I want to go back to the Hot Spring Villa."

Hearing this, both of them frowned at the same time. Princess Ningyang was about to persuade her not to take risks for the time being. Who knew if those crazy guys would ambush again.

But what Huo Junyao said next left them both speechless.

"There were so many guards this time because I died. I haven't been back since the accident. Those guards will go to the funeral tomorrow. Due to circumstances and reasons, I have to go back."

"Well, then my mother will be with you when the time comes."

"No, mother, you should stay in the capital. This matter won't be possible for a while. If necessary, you may need to enter the palace."

There are many distinguished people in the Guanzhong Group. Although their status is not as high as that of Shen Huan, there are also many founding heroes.

It's hard to say whether they were involved in this attack or not. One more person who can leave the palace freely can play a big role when necessary.

Of course, besides that, she also has some plans that it is not convenient for Princess Ningyang to know about for the time being.

"Mother will lend you some people later."

This Huo Junyao did not refuse. To be honest, what happened that day really scared her.

In the afternoon of that day, the eldest princess Ningyang went to the palace and directly asked the emperor to borrow five hundred Shence troops.

These were the personal soldiers of Emperor Zhaowu when he was conquering the world. They were all elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. Only Emperor Zhaowu could mobilize them now.

It was used once last time to support Huo Junyao. In the eyes of the nobles, this is already a great honor. After all, even princes and princesses may not receive such treatment.

Now the emperor has lent out another five hundred people, which makes many nobles who heard the news feel envious.

"What a bunch of losers. They failed to complete the task even with such a good opportunity." In a house in the capital, more than ten people were sitting in the hall with gloomy expressions. These are all members of the Guanzhong Group.

"Now that we are talking about what to do with these useless things, the top priority is to find ways to deal with the next problems."

"Everyone is well aware of Princess Zhaode's situation. We have failed this time, and Duke Ji's Mansion will never let it go."

"That old guy Huo Jingzhi is not easy to deal with."

"It's hard to deal with, so what? Is it easy for us to deal with him? No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. I still don't believe he can challenge so many of us."

Some people are afraid of Huo Jingzhi, but others don't take it seriously.

It is true that Huo Jingzhi is extraordinary, but Guanzhong Group is not a soft persimmon.

If they were really soft persimmons, how could they dare to attack and kill Huo Junyao?

"Having said that, it's always good to be careful."

"Why hasn't Prince Shen come yet?"

Just when they were asking questions, they had no idea that the Prince Shen they were talking about was being taught by his father's love.

"Audacious idiot, I have been famous all my life, how could I give birth to an idiot like you?"

In Duke Zhao's Mansion, Shen Huan was holding a whip in his hand and was lashing his eldest son again and again.

Shen Shizi, who was kneeling there, had more than a dozen whip marks crisscrossing his back.

"Master can't fight anymore."

There was a woman beside her who was crying and trying to persuade the furious Shen Huan with a distressed look on her face.

"A loving mother often loses her son. I have told him more than once not to cause trouble, but he refuses to listen. Now that he has caused such a big trouble, do you think my Shen family will be destroyed?"

Huo Jingzhi may not know the details of the attack, but Shen Huan, the leader of the Guanzhong Group, can figure out the details with just a simple inquiry.

But after he figured it out, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He never thought that his eldest son would actually get involved.

Although he did not arrange the people, he still played a big role in this.

As the eldest son of Duke Zhao's family, every move he makes outside can represent the attitude of the entire Duke Zhao's family.

He assured Huo Jingzhi that he had no involvement, and then he learned that his son had played a big role in this.

If Huo Jingzhi investigates this, if the emperor knows about it.

He felt a little numb just thinking about it.

Originally, he was in an embarrassing situation because of this incident. Emperor Zhaowu trusted him and hoped that he would take the lead.

The results of it? He actually took the lead in sabotage. What would the emperor think if he found out?

Can you still trust him in the future?

Without the emperor's trust, how could he, as a foreign relative, gain a foothold in the court in the future?

Even though he seems to have chosen to stay away from the court to protect himself, does he really want to stay away in his heart?

It's obviously impossible. What was the purpose of risking the lives of the entire family in the uprising?

Isn’t it just for wealth, glory and power?

He finally succeeded, and his status is still so high. All he did was to preserve Shen Huan's wealth, or to wait until the opportunity was right in the future to persevere in court.

After so many years of hard work, it was ruined by his idiot son. How could he not be furious?
