The assassin who broke into the back mountain was slim and obviously a woman.
Her cultivation level is pretty good, and she can always use her speed or intelligence to get rid of the pursuers behind her. However, there are formations everywhere in the back of the academy, and she will eventually be caught.
Zu An was surprised because this woman turned out to be the acting princess Meng Chan!
I just heard the news that she escaped from prison a few days ago. If she didn't take the opportunity to fly away, why would she come here?
Isn’t this just throwing yourself into a trap? .???.
At this time, Meng Chan at the bottom of the mountain was also in a very embarrassed state. She had been extremely qualified since she was a child, and her cultivation was among the best among her peers, so she was able to come to the back mountain.
It's a pity that the defense here is too tight. There are formations everywhere, and you can accidentally trigger them. Although you are not trapped by those formations with some family magic weapons, such movements are like bright lights attracting the pursuers.
Several times, she narrowly escaped from one siege, and soon fell into another siege.
Seeing the guards surrounding her from all directions, Meng Chan finally fell into despair. She had exhausted all her means and had no other options.
Thinking of this, she threw the weapon in her hand on the ground, "I'm here to see you offering wine, take me to see him!"
However, no one answered her. After all, a person broke into the forbidden area at the back of the National College by abnormal means at night. He was obviously an enemy, not a friend.
Of course, these guards were also a little surprised. They did not expect that the assassin who broke in was such a beautiful woman. Because the night clothes were tight, her figure was perfectly outlined.
Seeing those guards pointing spears at her, Meng Chan had no doubt that as long as one person acted impulsively, he could lead others to prick her into a hedgehog in an instant.
She didn't even dare to reveal her identity as the acting princess. Now she has become an imperial prisoner. Once these people find out and catch her, they will send her back as soon as possible, and it is impossible to see that person.
"Sacrifice wine, Prince Regent, I want to see you!" Meng Chan had no choice but to shout towards the top of the mountain. She knew that it was impossible for the sound to be transmitted up from such a long distance, but there was nothing she could do.
Could it be that I, Meng Chan, pride myself on being smart and beautiful, but am I destined to end up like this in the end?
She fell into deep despair. After a while, she suddenly noticed something was wrong. She raised her head and found that the guards around her had disappeared. Instead, there was a tall and handsome man standing there.
Meng Chan was a little distracted for a moment. That day, this man came like a demon. In his hands, countless masters from the Prince's Palace and the Meng family fell, turning their prosperity into ruins.
"You want to see me?" Zu An was a little confused. He really didn't understand what kind of medicine this woman was selling.
Meng Chan took a deep breath
, calming down all kinds of turbulent and complicated emotions, "Yes, I asked the maid to come and communicate with you before, but you refused, so I had to come out to find you myself."
Under the moonlight, she was dressed in night clothes, but her face was white and rosy, which made her even more beautiful.
Zu An couldn't help but feel ridiculous. Did this woman escape from the prison all the time just to see me?
"I don't think there is anything to talk about between us." Zu An said calmly, "And if you come to see me, you are destined to be unable to escape."
"I have no intention of escaping when I get here." Meng Chan's chest, which had just risen violently, slowly calmed down.
"Are you planning to take revenge? Your cultivation is really good among your peers, but it's a pity that it's too far behind me. I won't give you another chance to take revenge in the future." Zu An didn't want to let the tiger go back to the mountain. What happened before was too bad.
I'm too lazy to bother with her, but now they're all coming to my door. If I let her go again, I'd be really messed up.
I have watched so many movies and TV shows in my previous life, and every time the villain felt that the protagonist was too weak and let them go, only to be killed by the grown-up protagonist in the end...
Bah, bah, bah, I’m not a villain!
Meng Chan shook her head, "I'm not here for revenge, and I don't dare to have any thoughts of revenge. I'm just here to negotiate a deal with you."
Hey, what does it mean to be good among your peers? Aren’t you also my peer?
"Deal?" Zu An said in a sarcastic tone, "I am your father-killing enemy."
He didn't think that with such a blood feud, the other party would sincerely deal with him, and he didn't think that she had anything he needed.
"The living are always more important than the dead," Meng Chan looked very calm. She was still looking at Zu An's expression carefully when she spoke. Seeing his disbelief, she had no choice but to explain, "Prince Regent, maybe you used to live in Mingyue."
Cheng, I’m not too sure about the behavior of people in our circle.”
"As long as the rational people in our circle value future interests, they don't care about personal grudges. Any grudges are nothing compared to family interests."
"Even if it's revenge for killing his father?" Zu An sneered.
"Yes," Meng Chan answered with certainty, "The hatred of killing your father and taking away your wife may be sworn hatred for some civilians, but for us, it is not that important. Of course, the premise is that we have
Enough benefit."
Zu An was a little confused. Back then, both Sang Qian and Zheng Dan put the family's interests first, even at the expense of their own happiness.
Other
This is true for all the women who come from big families.
He came back to his senses and said, "Enough benefits? I can guess your purpose of coming, and I can indeed give you enough benefits, but it's a pity that you can't have anything that interests me."
This woman's purpose is obviously to serve as the king for the Meng family. Although the strength of the two families is severely damaged, their foundation is still there. As long as the court pardons them, they will still have a chance to recover in a hundred years, and they will have a place in the capital.
But if we follow the order given by the queen before, then the whole family will really be finished, the men will be exiled to the army, the women will be slaves, and a top family will really disappear from this world.
"No, I must have something in my hand that interests you!" Meng Chan's eyes were particularly bright, and she was obviously very confident.
Zu An frowned and said, "Let's talk about it first."
He also became a little curious. This woman was a smart woman and she naturally knew the consequences of teasing him. What on earth made her so confident and sure now?
Meng Chan's red lips parted slightly, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "This matter is confidential. Can we go to the wine ceremony room to discuss it in detail?"
Seeing the other person's slight frown, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I have a world-class cultivation of Jijiu. You're not afraid that a weak woman like me can hurt you, right?"
"Don't provoke me," Zu An snorted, "If you let me know that you are lying to me later, you should know the price." ??
He immediately turned around and walked up the mountain. Meng Chan was so happy that she hurriedly followed him.
Unexpectedly, Zu An just gradually took a step forward and was already halfway up the mountain. She was frightened and panicked. What was frightening was that the other party's cultivation was really unfathomable. What was frightening was how she could possibly keep up with him.
There are countless forbidden formations on this mountain, and I have suffered enough just now.
Just when she didn't know what to do, a soft force came to her, and then her whole body felt like it was soaring in the clouds.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already outside the courtyard on the top of the mountain.
She sighed secretly. She didn't even see clearly how he did it. He was obviously so young and about the same age as me, how did he cultivate to this point.
Zu An opened the door from the front, and she hurriedly followed.
Zu An stood in front of the window, with his back to her, looking at the moon in the sky. The moonlight today was quite beautiful.
"Say it."
Seeing that the other party had his back turned to her without any defense, Meng Chan did not dare to have any thoughts of assassination. She took a deep breath and said slowly
"Back then, Bi Qi was the person in charge of the operation that killed the former prince and grandson."
Zu An frowned and said coldly, "What does this have to do with me?"<
br>
Meng Chan replied, "When I ran out and hid in Tibet these days, I heard some rumors over the overpass. The regent seems to be the grandson of the previous dynasty?"
Zu An was shocked. During this time, he was busy refining alchemy and practicing, but he ignored this information. Who spread it.
He snorted, "The Embroidered Clothes Messenger will naturally trace the source of these nonsense rumors in the market. Are you using these mythical things as bargaining chips?"
Meng Chan had been observing his reaction carefully, but the other person was calm from beginning to end, so that she could not see anything.
"Of course not. Please look back at me, Prince Regent."
Zu An's mind noticed that she reached into her arms, as if she was going to take something out, and turned around curiously.
Unexpectedly, the other party directly untied his belt, and the clothes on his body slipped from his shoulders like silk, revealing a white and beautiful young body. It was not known whether it was because of the cold night wind or nervousness, but his body was trembling involuntarily.
Her breathing became visibly faster, and a faint blush gradually appeared on her fair skin.
Zu An looked at her calmly, "To be honest, I have heard many rumors about you before, saying that you are an extremely smart woman, but what you did today made me a little disappointed."
Meng Chan bit her lip tightly, her originally red lips turned a little white from her bite.
She is indeed good at many strategies, including beauty traps.
But that was just a strategizing role. The actual implementation was to send some women who had been strictly trained since childhood to do it. This was the first time that I personally went into battle, and it turned out to be a mess.
Yes, her majestic acting princess, the rich daughter of the Meng family, has been living in the home of the most powerful man. What man in the world needs her to personally use her beauty trap, and how does she know how to seduce men?
"If this is your bargaining chip, you can get out now." Zu An was a little agitated. What did this woman think of him?
Do you think that in everyone's minds, you are the kind of stallion who can't walk when he sees a pretty girl?
Meng Chan is very beautiful, but there are so many confidantes around him, and all of them are beautiful and fragrant. How can he be seduced by her?
"No, this is not my bargaining chip, but a gift, a gift to apologize." Meng Chan gradually calmed down after the initial panic, "Prince Dai and the Meng family have offended you a lot some time ago.
Your heart is filled with anger, and as the acting princess and the daughter of the Meng family, I have the responsibility to calm your anger for them."
"That's not necessary," Zu An looked at her sternly, "If you don't tell me about your bargaining chip, you may never have the chance to speak again."
