Of course, an agent who roamed international politics and intelligence would know what politics was!
He must have had a conspiracy to take down the entire Zhuo Mansion!
That's why I didn't expose him on the spot...
This man was truly shrewd!
At such a critical moment...
In such a short time...
How could his mind be so calm as to analyze and plot...
If he had been trained by a secret service agent, he would have become the scariest of them all!
Fei Yan's heart was suddenly filled with a kind of frightful horror!
She had never seen such a terrifying ordinary person before!
An ordinary person could be merciless and calm to this extent …
It was too terrifying!
Although Fei Yan didn't know about the Emperor's conspiracy.
But there was one thing she was sure of.
The Prince Zhuo's Mansion was going to be in for a ride of misfortune!
Secret Service Intuition... It's usually accurate.
In the dungeon.
The bloodied Zhuo Lao San spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were as red as a wild beast's, staring at Zhuo Gonggui who held onto the rhinoceros whip, as though he wanted to tear him apart with his hatred!
Zhuo Gonggui said emotionlessly, "Ol 'Three! I'll give you one last chance! "I still won't admit it!"
"Pfft!" If father isn't here, are you going to take revenge on your own account? Fight! It would be best to use all my inner force to whip you. Since my inner force is inferior to yours, just hit me! " The Zhuo Lao San sneered.
Zhuo Gonggui raised the whip in his hand.
A flash of sadness passed through his eyes …
"Pah!"
The whip heavily lashed at Zhuo Lao San's chest.
The wound that had just stopped bleeding opened again, and fresh blood flowed out …
Zhuo Lao San did not make a sound, his eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Zhuo Gonggui!
"Pa!" "Pah!"
Zhuo Gonggui heavily lashed out twice more …
Zhuo Lao San spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression was sinister and terrifying, and laughed madly: "Second brother! Why did he stop, why did he keep fighting!? Fight! "Fight!"
He roared!
Zhuo Gonggui clenched his teeth and said angrily: "Ol 'Three! You disappoint us! As a member of the Zhuo Family, you were actually so willful, and forced the Zhuo Family into such a dangerous place! Do you know, if the divine box fell into someone else's hands, the Zhuo family would be ruined! Is that what you want to see? "
Zhuo Lao San said coldly: "You don't need to remind me! My Zhuo Lao San can use human heads to guarantee that the divine box will definitely not fall into someone else's hands! I could tell long ago, she is not an ordinary person. She definitely would not let a divine box fall into someone else's hands! "
Zhuo Gonggui said: "Him? Who is he? You have friends? He's also from the Zhuo Family? Is it a man or a woman? "
Zhuo Lao San laughed crazily. "Hahaha! Want to know? Go check for yourself! And then kill her too! In any case, since you can be so heartless to your own son and younger brother, what else can you not do? "
"Second Uncle." Not good. That old cunning fox Tang Benkui is here! " Zhuo Wenfeng suddenly walked into the secret room.
"What is he doing here? This old fox has always been uneasy and had good intentions! " Zhuo Gonggui asked.
"He said he would welcome the divine box back to the palace!" Zhuo Wenfeng said.
The atmosphere in the dungeon froze all of a sudden …
Zhuo Gonggui's brows immediately furrowed. He raised his head to look at Zhuo Gongrong who was tied to the wall's iron chain and said sincerely and sincerely: "Third Brother! Our lives are not important, the glory that the Zhuo Family has endured for hundreds of years cannot be lost! If a big tree fell, countless people would suffer! Tang Benkui had already come, so he might have heard some news … Whether or not you want to hand over the divine box is up to you! "
With that, he threw away the blood-stained whip in his hand and left.
Zhuo Wenfeng said anxiously, "Third Uncle. Don't be stubborn! What time was it? Tang Benkui carried the emperor's decree to send off Ninth Sister's dowry, and at the same time, welcomed her back to the divine box. If he discovers that the divine box is no longer in Zhuo Duke Palace, he would definitely not let our Zhuo Family off! "
Zhuo Gongrong laughed: "Wen Feng. Rest assured, whatever happened, I, your Third Uncle, will shoulder it all by myself! Since we were able to steal the divine box, my Zhuo Lao San had expected such a situation to occur! "
Zhuo Wenfeng said very helplessly: "Third Uncle! I still don't understand, why did you steal the divine box? What good will it do you? Furthermore, since it is now a matter of life and death for Zhuo Family, you should not play anymore. You are already on fire, and if you do not tell us where the divine box is, that old cunning fox Tang Benkui will definitely seize this opportunity to completely exterminate our Zhuo King Manor! "
Zhuo Gongrong laughed: "Wen Feng, you are still a child! You don't know anything about politics as well as your father and uncle! The Zhuo Family will be fine, but the point is that they will do the same thing again, just like how they did with Zhuo Lei, pushing me out to face the consequences! The whole world knows that my Zhuo Lao San is a scoundrel, the emperor definitely wouldn't destroy the entire Zhuo Mansion just because I'm a playboy! Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the guts! Your grandfather is the Unrivaled Expert! Half of the imperial army is in your father's hands! Foolish child, let's go! Don't worry, if something really happens, my Zhuo Lao San will definitely step forward and assume responsibility, and definitely will not implicate anyone in Zhuo Family! "
Zhuo Wenfeng shook his head, and said: "Third Uncle. Why are you doing this? You are not worth sacrificing your life for! "
Zhuo Gongrong said: "Foolish brat! You know what? If we can solve the divine box's secret, then my Zhuo Lao San's name will be forever famous! My military leadership skills are not as good as your father's, my strategy and shrewdness are not as good as your second uncle's, my martial arts talent is far inferior to your grandfather, and in the eyes of the world, my Zhuo Lao San is just a piece of trash! A bastard! Now, there is a chance for me to live forever! Even if I die, my Zhuo Lao San will not bat an eye! The victor was the king and the loser was the bandit! Isn't that what your father taught you? "
"Sigh!"
Zhuo Wenfeng sighed and left the secret room.
He felt that the Third Uncle had gone berserk!
He simply could not understand the Third Uncle's extreme and crazy actions!
For a hope that hardly exists...
He was going to put his life on the line?
No one had been able to crack the secret of the divine box for more than a hundred years …
Wasn't he courting death for nothing?
He was so high and mighty...
A talented youth who enjoyed the supreme treatment.
Since young, he had been entrusted with the responsibility of inheriting the Zhuo Family's legacy.
The growth of being praised by all the stars...
But how could he understand Zhuo Gongrong's feelings and circumstances?
"Old Master Zhuo. Congratulations. Prince Zhuo's residence is full of talented people. With another queen here, this prime minister hopes that the household will flourish even more! I also wish the Old Master Zhuo good health and prosperity! "
The Prime Minister Tang Benkui was all smiles as he beckoned the palace guards and the eunuchs to bring the boxes of betrothal gifts in.
Old Master Zhuo squinted his eyes, unable to see the fluctuations in his emotions, he only said calmly: "This old subject thanks the Emperor for his kindness, and also thanks the Prime Minister for personally bringing the Xiao Jiu a betrothal gift!"
The Prime Minister said, "His Majesty has paid great attention to the marriage between the royal family and the Zhuo Family. He originally planned to wait until the wedding before officially betrothing the marriage, but the Magus said that today would be a good day, so His Majesty ordered his subordinate to bring an imperial decree and betrothal gift to pay a visit to the old man. Oh right, Old Master, is everyone from Zhuo Family here? This official is about to announce the decree! "
Zhuo Gonggui who had just walked in said: "Everyone is present."
The Prime Minister smiled, her gaze sweeping across the Zhuo Family, and said: "Why haven't I seen Third Master Zhuo?"
Zhuo Gonggui replied: "He's not in the Palace."
The Prime Minister then asked, "Where is Ninth Miss? Why don't you come out and receive the edict as well? so that I can meet the future Empress Dowager? "
Zhuo Gonggui said coldly: "My daughter is currently at that place learning etiquette, I presume the Prime Minister should know about it, right?"
"That place?"
"Oh."
The prime minister nodded and took out an imperial edict from his bosom: "Old Master Zhuo, should we send someone to invite the divine box s? This official is going to announce it! As the token of this marriage and the sacred artifact of the imperial government, divine box should be respectfully invited to accept worship. "
The Old Master Zhuo said: "The divine box are closely guarded in the secret room. It is not appropriate to move them as you wish.
The cunning Tang Benkui seemed to have picked up on something, and said: "Old Master Zhuo, this official did not intend to make things difficult for you, it's just that …. The emperor ordered the officials to escort the betrothal gift, then read the imperial edict. Please return to the divine box and return to the palace! If the divine box was not here, that would not be too good, right? If the old man was worried about the safety of the divine box, this official believes that no one would dare to have any ideas about the divine box in Prince Zhuo's mansion, which was full of experts, right? This is also the reason why the Emperor was able to leave the divine box in Zhuo Duke Palace without worry. "
Zhuo Gonggui said coldly: "Prime minister, could it be that you didn't hear my father's words? Declaring the decree is enough! The divine box's safety is naturally under the responsibility of our Zhuo Duke Mansion! Since the Emperor has left the divine box in Zhuo Palace, it means that he believes that our Zhuo Family has the ability to protect the divine box! Could it be that the Prime Minister wants to doubt the Emperor's decision? "
Tang Benkui laughed coldly: "Please return to the divine box, but the emperor had personally ordered it, Second Master Zhuo is so nervous, and even openly disobeys the emperor's decree, what do you want? Could it be that the divine box was no longer in Zhuo Royal Mansion? You can't take out the divine box, so that's why you chose to defy the decree? "
Zhuo Gongfu thought: "This time, a calamity is coming for Zhuo Family!"
Old Master Zhuo was calm and collected, like a mountain.
Tang Benkui said aggressively: "Second Master Zhuo, could it be that I've hit the mark? The divine box is no longer in Zhuo Palace? "
Zhuo Gonggui said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Tang Benkui had already guessed the gist of it, although he did not know what exactly had happened.
But the Zhuo Family people were so adamant and did not want to invite the divine box out …
There must be a reason.
Tang Benkui was ecstatic, his expression was as sharp as ever: "Second Master Zhuo! If you want to dispel my worries, please take out the divine box! Otherwise, this official can't help but think of the reason why Zhuo Family refused to bring out divine box even when she defied the imperial edict! "
Zhuo Gonggui said: "You just need to announce it!"
Tang Benkui said: "The Emperor has personally requested for us to return with the divine box …."
Zhuo Gonggui said: "Is there anything written in the imperial edict?"
Tang Benkui said: "This …"
