"What does it say? Does it have anything to do with Ziyu?" Meng Liang's heart trembled when he saw Xu Han's appearance. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously.
However, Xu Han did not answer his question. His expression turned cold as he gently handed the letter in his hand over.
Meng Liang hurriedly took the letter in his hand and looked at it with a heavy gaze.
Young miss Fang of your manor is a guest in my courtyard tonight. At this moment, she is drunk. Please bring Xing Tian Sword with you to pick her up.
Zhu Longqi said respectfully.
Although Meng Liang did not participate in the battle in Chang'an City, he was more or less clear about the relationship between Zhu Long's Long Ye Si and the Tiance Prefecture represented by Xu Han. He naturally understood what it meant for Fang Ziyu to be taken away by Zhu Longqi.
"Brother Xu …" He looked at Xu Han with a deep gaze at that time.
After Xu Han handed him a calm gaze, he looked at Ye Hongjian who was standing beside him.
" Hongjian, go bring Lu Mo and Yu Yan."
Hearing this, Ye Hongjian was stunned. She hesitated and said, "Xiao Han, you want…"
These two people were the greatest harvests of the Tiance Manor investigating the Gu and Zhao families these days. Both of them had participated in many shameful matters of the Gu and Zhao families. Under Xu Han's coercion and temptation, they finally decided to join the Tiance Manor. Based on the evidence they had, the Gu and Zhao families would never be able to turn around.
At this time, Xu Han asked Ye Hongjian to bring out the two people who were tightly controlled. Naturally, it was self-evident why.
However, once she attacked the Gu and Zhao families, it would mean that she would be completely at loggerheads with the Long Night Division. Ye Hongjian did not dare to guarantee that the Tian Ce Mansion could afford the consequences of this.
However, Xu Han did not seem to have heard her question at all. After saying this, he looked at Qin Keqing, who was standing beside him. "Keqing, go and write a letter and have Mr. Lu and Commander Hou hurry back to Chang'an."
Qin Keqing did not have as many thoughts as Ye Hongjian. After hearing this, she nodded and hurriedly retreated to complete what Xu Han had told her.
Ye Hongjian frowned even deeper when she saw all of this, but she did not dare to say anything else in the end.
"Liu Xiao!" However, Xu Han's order did not stop because of this. "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and invite Lord Zhang over."
Naturally, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Liu Xiao, who had long been convinced by Xu Han. He nodded heavily and quickly left with several government troops.
After this series of orders were given, Ye Hongjian could no longer hold back her doubts. She took a step forward and said, "Xiao Han, this matter is of great importance. Do you want to discuss it again?"
"When Lord Zhang arrives at the Tian Ce Mansion, bring him, Lu Moyan, and the Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Army to escort the Gu and Zhao families back to the Tian Ce Mansion. If anyone dares to resist, kill them on the spot!" Xu Han ignored Ye Hongjian's suggestion and said in a cold voice.
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Ye Hongjian said again, "But that Gu Zhaofu and Er Fu's great undertakings must have provided for quite a few guest soldiers. We people …"
"Prime Minister Zhang holds the Imperial Army's military power. If Gu and Zhao families dares to use force, what awaits them is the calamity of extermination." Xu Han interrupted Ye Hongjian without hesitation.
"But" Ye Hongjian still hesitated.
At that time, Xu Han turned to look at Ye Hongjian. He took a deep look at her and said word by word, "Remember that you asked Brother Zhou to tell me about it in the Exquisite Pavilion."
"Perhaps the companions are not cattle or sheep, or wolves."
"Since I've made this wolf, then before I die, no one can touch my pack of wolves!"
After saying this, he no longer had any interest in talking to Ye Hongjian and instead looked at Meng Liang.
"Brother Meng, are you willing to go to the Longtan Tiger's Cave with me?"
"That's exactly what I meant." Meng Liang Zhanyan smiled and bowed back.
…
It was already midnight, but the great formation that the Tian Ce Mansion had almost devoured had awakened the sleeping capital from its beautiful dreams.
The spies rushed over and observed Tiance Prefecture's manor army from afar. When they realized that the target of the team was Zhao Xingzheng and Gu Sijin's manor, the spies immediately rushed back to their main house and brought the news back.
The Tian Ce Mansion was about to attack the Gu and Zhao families. The implications behind this were far from something that could be explained in words. Moreover, what kind of change this would bring to the strange Chang'an City was not something that ordinary people could see clearly. They could only secretly watch all of this and wait for the curtain to fall on this game.
Zhu Longqi had already reached adulthood, Zhu Xian also doted on his only son. Zhu Xian had already bought a luxurious mansion for him in Chang'an. However, Zhu Xian did not allow him to attack the Heavenly Policy Mansion. In order to prevent Zhu Xian from knowing, everything was secretly arranged by Zhu Longqi. Therefore, Fang Ziyu, who had been kidnapped by them, was also placed in the side room of the mansion.
"Are you saying that the Tian Ce Mansion brought a large army to the Zhao Clan's manor?" Zhu Long, who was sitting at the gate of the courtyard, asked with a frown.
"En, I heard from the scouts that the Tian Ce Mansion has been overwhelmed this time. It seems that Prime Minister Zhang has also been dragged along." Lang Chaosha replied.
"So he doesn't care about this Fang Ziyu's life or death?" Zhu Longqi said.
'"This" Lang Chaosha also frowned. Originally, he had thought that using Fang Ziyu as bait to lure Xu Han over would be the best way to force him to hand over the Xing Tian Sword. If he couldn't, he could test Xu Han's trump card. However, Lang Chaosha found it difficult to get rid of this situation.
"You idiots, how smart are you, surnamed Xu? You all have never gotten it."
"I am the Empress of the Chen Kingdom. What can you do to me? What dare you do to me? Quickly let go of my aunt!" Fang Ziyu, who was locked in the side room, scolded as he listened to the conversation between the two of them.
She was also alert. Regardless of whether it was 3721, pulling out the banner of Chen Xuanji as a guarantee was related to Chen Zhou's national affairs. Thinking about it, Zhu Longqi didn't dare to do anything to her even if he was bold.
"Hmph, now that Chen Country is facing Cui Tingbing, it's hard to protect itself. Senior Sister Fang, stop deceiving yourself and others." Although he was quite afraid of Fang Ziyu's identity, on the surface, Lang Chaosha still spoke mockingly, unwilling to let it fall.
"Xu Han to Gu and Zhao families, presumably related to this matter. Although this Fang Ziyu's attitude is hateful, it is indeed as she said. We do not dare to do anything to her. If Xu Han really doesn't care about her, we can't hold her in our hands forever, right? Furthermore, if Father finds out … "Zhu Longqi's thoughts are much more meticulous than Lang Chaosha's, and his considerations are even more detailed.
Hearing this, Lang Chaosha's expression changed slightly. He pondered for a while and then gritted his teeth.
"If Xu Han really doesn't care about this Fang Ziyu's life or death, it would be a calamity for us to keep her." With that, Lang Chaosha cut Zhu Longqi's neck with his hand.
"But …"
Zhu Longqi's heart skipped a beat.
"Brother Zhu, think carefully. If this recipe falls into our hands and Xu Han doesn't care, he will definitely report it to the Chen Kingdom. At that time, it will be difficult for you and me to bear the blame. Why don't we just give it a dead end?" Lang Chaosha continued to persuade.
A cold light flashed in Zhu Longqi's eyes, and he regretted listening to Lang Chaosha and Lu Feng's advice. At this moment, he was thinking about the gains and losses of riding a tiger, and his eyes finally flashed with a harsh expression. "Alright, if that Xu Han is really like this, then we will…"
"Report to Young Master, Xu Han requests to see you!"
But just as he was making up his mind, a soldier walked in quickly and bowed to him, his mouth full of words.
"What?" Hearing this, Zhu Longqi was overjoyed. He leaned forward and asked loudly.
"Tiance Prefecture Xu Han requests to see you." The soldier didn't know what his master was thinking and thought that Zhu Longqi hadn't heard what he said clearly. Therefore, he raised his voice a bit this time and said it almost in a roar.
Of course, this was a bit rude, but Zhu Longqi did not blame him at all. Instead, he looked at the soldier anxiously and asked, "How many troops did he bring?"
"Apart from him, there is also a black-clothed man."
"Only one person?" Hearing this, Zhu Longqi and Lang Chaosha looked at each other in surprise.
"Then let him in. I want to see what kind of ability this Xu Han has!" After confirming that what the soldier said was true, Zhu Longqi calmed himself down. He sat up straight and said seriously.
…
"Rare guests, rare guests."
Just as Xu Han and Meng Liang entered the courtyard under the lead of the armored warrior, Young Master Zhu came forward with a warm smile. His eagerness made it hard for others to imagine that the two of them were enemies who wished to tear each other to pieces.
Xu Han and Meng Liang naturally didn't have the slightest intention of being false to Young Master Zhu. Their faces were cold and they didn't say anything.
However, Young Master Zhu, who had always been arrogant, did not have the slightest bit of self-awareness to stick his hot face to his cold butt. He continued to laugh and said, "Come on, come on, please come inside quickly."
When the two of them sat down, Zhu Longqi even called for servants to serve dishes for Xu Han and the other two, as if they were going to treat them to a banquet.
"Young Master Zhu, there's no need to bother. Let's get down to business." Xu Han, however, stopped Zhu Longqi from doing so and said in a serious tone.
"Haha, Manor Chief Xu 's demeanor is still the same." Zhu Longqi smiled brightly.
"Cut the crap. Where is Ziyu now?" Meng Liang was thinking about Fang Ziyu. Zhu Longqi's demeanor, which he thought was quite magnanimous, was extremely hateful in his eyes.
"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Miss Ziyu is a guest in the manor. She is currently resting in a side room. There is no need to worry." At this point, Zhu Longqi paused for a moment and changed the topic. His tone immediately became gloomy. "Of course, this also depends on whether Manor Chief Xu is sincere or not."
As he spoke, he turned his head and narrowed his eyes to look at Xu Han. The corner of his mouth drew a sharp arc that was as sharp as a hook.
Bang!
With that, Xu Han stretched out his hand and placed an oddly shaped longsword straight on the table in front of him.
"The Heavenly Punishment Sword is here!"
"Young Master Zhu, do you have the guts to come get it?"
