After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

In the next two days, Xiao Jinzhi's personal letter was sent to Beimo. At the same time, the news of the meeting at Guiyang Mountain was also sent to Danyue.

Over at the court, an urgent letter was sent, asking Xiao Jinzhi to return to the court as soon as possible and to confirm the candidates for the meeting. He also mentioned that he was afraid that there would be no time, so he hoped to negotiate with Danyue to postpone the meeting. .

In response, Xiao Jinzhi just sent a message back to inform him of his decision to go there in person.

In the ruined temple.

Zhou Muting, who was completely awake, looked at the masked man in front of him and explained in every possible way, still trying to convince them that he was not going to Danyue to spy on the news.

However, the other party was too lazy to answer and just threw him a pen and paper, asking him to write down the news that the Zhou family had actually rebelled against the country and wanted to defect to Danyue.

"Our patience is limited, you'd better cooperate and write it out as soon as possible, otherwise..." The masked man sneered, "This is Jinzhou after all, and we can't stay long. If you lose even this last bit of use, , we can only send you on your way first."

"I have already said that I have not betrayed the Danyue Kingdom at all. I wholeheartedly want to serve. Your regent can testify to this." Zhou Muting said with a dry mouth and looked at them eagerly.

The masked man sneered, "Whose order do you think we are following?"

Zhou Muting was stunned, "Did Huangfu Mausoleum ask you to come?"

"How presumptuous! You can call His Highness the Regent's name casually."

The masked man kicked Zhou Muting on the shoulder, and the latter suddenly looked hideous in pain.

"I don't believe it, he clearly knows..."

"Mr. Zhou, do you really think that His Highness the Regent is interested in your talent and strategy and wants to promote you? Now that His Highness's plan has failed, your remaining use value is just to mess with the Zhou family. Water, if you can't do this, then you are a complete waste. Waste, but you have no right to live!"

What he said was full of ridicule and threats, even mixed with a bit of condescending disdain.

Chu Huanyan was hiding behind the ruined temple. Listening to the conversation, she couldn't help but praise the acting in her heart.

"It's really unfair that the people under your command only serve as secret guards." Chu Huanyan's voice was very low, and she smiled and said to Xiao Jinzhi, "I almost believe that he is really a person sent by Danyue Kingdom. "

"As long as Yan Yan is satisfied." Xiao Jinzhi put his arm around Chu Huanyan's waist, and the two of them continued to watch the fun.

In the ruined temple, Zhou Muting, whose last hope had been crushed, was trembling. He looked at the pen and paper on the ground, gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Give it up, I won't write anyway."

"Oh, you betrayed the Zhou family before and took refuge in our Danyue country. Wasn't it quite pleasant? Now you are pretending to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson here. Our time is limited. If you don't cooperate obediently..." The sword holder in the masked man's hand It hit Zhou Muting's neck and drew a bloody mark on his neck. "There is only one way to die!"

Zhou Muting's body was shaking more and more violently, and the pain in his neck clearly told him that he might lose his life in the next moment.

But it was precisely at this time that he remembered more and more clearly how Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai had cared for and taught him over the years. Regret and shame welled up at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Muting murmured: "I was wrong."

"Hmph, I figured it out, then hurry up and write quickly." The masked man snorted proudly.

Zhou Muting raised his head little by little and looked at him, "I mean I shouldn't have been so confused from the beginning. I chose to serve the Danyue Kingdom, I chose to believe in Huangfu Ling, and I even had the delusional idea of ​​using his power to achieve success. Being so stupid, even if I die today, it will be my own fault."

"Seeking death!" The masked man's eyes changed. He glanced at the dark place and determined that the time had come. He raised his sword and was about to stab Zhou Muting. At this moment, Qin Li appeared and stopped him, followed closely by Zhou Xuanqi.

"Ting'er!" Seeing the blood marks on Zhou Muting's neck, Zhou Xuanqi was heartbroken, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately! Fortunately, Tinger is still alive!

Not long after, the masked man was unable to defeat Qin Li and retreated. Before leaving, he did not forget to threaten Zhou Muting with harsh words.

Seeing this, Chu Huanyan was filled with admiration and almost wanted to applaud the other party.

After lighting a stick of incense, a secret guard who had changed his attire appeared in front of Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan in the teahouse in Jinzhou City.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, my subordinates' mission has been completed. The Zhou family father and son are now returning to the Zhou family under the escort of Qin Guards." The secret guard knelt on the ground with his hands clasped and spoke seriously.

Chu Huanyan looked at the other person. Although his appearance was a little ordinary, his eyes were bright and he was full of energy.

"What's your name?"

"Reporting to the Empress, my subordinate Li Zhen." Li Zhen immediately raised his hands and spoke, his back straightening even more.

"You performed very well just now." Chu Huanyan praised her.

Hearing this, Li Zhen's face showed a bit of embarrassment, "I'm not afraid of the Emperor's jokes. When I was a child, I loved watching people perform operas, and even followed them to learn. Later, I loved to imitate the words and actions of the people around me. So today is quite enjoyable."

Chu Huanyan smiled, looked at Li Zhen again, and then said: "You have worked hard today, and the emperor will definitely reward you well."

"Isn't it hard to run errands for the emperor and empress?" Li Zhen said quickly.

"Okay, please step back first. Don't let anyone else know about today's events." Xiao Jinzhi said.

Li Zhen looked a little more serious. After answering, he bowed his hands and left the teahouse.

Chu Huanyan watched the other party leave, and waited until Li Zhen's figure disappeared outside the private room and closed the door before she looked away and looked at the street downstairs.

"I hope that after this incident, Zhou Muting can really wake up and stop."

"Yes. In fact, Zhou Muting can no longer make any big waves. In addition to fearing that the father and son will cause any trouble, you should also want to make Zhou Muting wake up, right?"

There was a smile in Xiao Jinzhi's eyes. Although Yan Yan seemed to have no affection for Zhou Muting and Zhou Xuanqi and his son, she still thought about them.

Regardless of whether Zhou Muting can completely calm down in the future, if it hadn't happened like that just now, the relationship between Zhou Muting and the Zhou family would have been at a standstill for a long time, making it difficult to ease.

Chu Huanyan shook her head sincerely, "It's really not the case. Zhou Muting can really wake up and get back on good terms with his uncle and the others. This can only be regarded as an unexpected gain. If there are no other reasons..."

Chu Huanyan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinzhi with raised eyebrows.

"That's probably because I thought the previous slap was not satisfying enough and wanted to teach Zhou Muting a lesson again." (End of Chapter)
