Zu An was confused: "???"
He hurriedly took out the book of Overbearing Sword Immortal and looked through it, but it seemed to be an ordinary romance book. Although some of the sentences in it were strangely worded and constructed, it was nothing.
As if seeing his doubts, Chu Chuyan said: "The ledger has always been a weapon of self-defense for the Chu family, and it is also likely to bring disaster to the Chu family. Over the years, countless forces have coveted this ledger, so I have been
Everyone is thinking about how to ensure the security of the ledger.”
"But their methods are hard to guard against. Even if I hide the ledger in a hidden place, I will definitely be found. So I suddenly made two ledgers, one real and one false. I hid the real ledger there in code.
In "The Domineering Sword Fairy", after all, no one would doubt that a little girl's favorite romance would be such an important thing."
Zu An was a little confused: "But if I remember correctly, Xue'er also liked to read this storybook with you before. She is sent by the Shi family. Aren't you afraid that she will see some flaws?"
Chu Chuyan smiled proudly: "Don't you know that there are many volumes in the "Domineering Sword Immortal" series?"
Zu An was stunned, and this time he noticed that there was something like Volume 9 written in the corner of the book in his hand: "Holy crap, such a shameful book can actually produce so many volumes? This author is also a talent."
Chu Chuyan's face turned slightly red: "This book is not as bad as you said. The sadomasochism between the male and female protagonists in it is still very touching."
Zu An: "..."
As he put the account books away again, he sighed: "I used to think you were a simple little white flower, but now I realize that you are very sinister. Not only did you lie to me, but you also lied to your parents?"
Judging from Qin Wanru's worry and self-blame before, she really didn't know that the book she lost was a fake account book.
Chu Chuyan was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean to deceive you. The main reason is that there are not many informants from other forces in the family. It would be more troublesome if you accidentally leaked something after knowing about it. Instead of testing your acting skills, let's
It’s better to hide it from you from beginning to end.”
Zu An couldn't help but complain: "Everyone is cheating on me, but you are cheating on me with your father, mother, husband and sister."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
"But the result is good after all," Zu An laughed, "Looks like there's no need to fall into the trap."
Chu Chuyan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I have arranged everything here. If my prediction is correct, the news should reach Mingyue City in these two days."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then I can lead the red robe army to show off their power. Damn it, these guys come and leave whenever they want. They think our Chu family is a public toilet!"
Chu Chuyan spat: "What a public toilet, that's too ugly."
…
After the two ended the call, Zu An went straight to the Red Robe Army camp on the outskirts of the city. Different from the anxiety he felt all the way before, he was now in a very happy mood.
"Why are you so stubborn? The Chu family is on the verge of life and death, why don't you come with us to save it!"
"Sorry, the Red Robe Army has an iron law since ancient times. Unless the head of the family is here in person or holds a military talisman, he must not move without permission."
"Now that the head of the house and his wife have been arrested, how could they come here?"
"Can't you even trust us? Can I, Third Young Master Chu, still harm the Chu family?"
…
When I arrived outside the military camp, I heard a group of people arguing in the distance. Who was the most excited one, Chu Yucheng, who was as fat as a ball and was not from the third room?
What surprised him was that there was a young man standing next to him. Compared with him, his body shape could be compared to that of a jade tree.
"Chu Hongcai?" Zu An frowned slightly, wasn't he being imprisoned?
Although various evidences show that Chu Hongcai did not participate in Chu Tiesheng's previous rebellion, they are father and son after all, and Chu Tiesheng died again, so he must have some resentment in his heart.
At this time, in front of them were several officers in red armor, each with a resolute look on his face. No matter how hard they tried, they were all indifferent.
"Azu?" At this moment, Chu Yucheng had already seen Zu An and hurriedly waved, "Come over quickly and help persuade them."
"Zu An!" After hearing his words, Chu Hongcai also noticed Zu An. As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, so he yelled, "The thief will take his life!"
After saying that, the long sword was unsheathed and he stabbed Zu An directly.
Zu An directly used his Lingxi finger to flick his sword away. Chu Hongcai suddenly felt a strange and huge force coming from the sword, making him almost unable to hold the sword in his hand.
However, he reacted quickly and used the rebound power to launch his next attack. His swordsmanship was already light and agile, but this attack was like a violent storm.
"Okay, stop your own people beating your own people!" Chu Yucheng's fat body hurriedly stopped between the two of them.
Zu An frowned slightly, worried about accidentally hurting him, so he didn't take action again.
Chu Hongcai also moved his sword to the other side and said angrily: "Damn fat man, get out of the way quickly. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable."
Chu Yucheng scolded: "You are stupid. What kind of cultivation is your father and Hong Zhong? What kind of cultivation is he? How could he kill them? At that time, only old man Mi in the entire Chu family had this ability. He just pretended to be so.
I force you to believe it? Besides, why did you promise me when I rescued you before? Now that the Chu family has reached a moment of life and death, personal grudges should be put aside for now!"
Zu An had a black hair. This damn fat guy looked like a pig, but he was very shrewd in his heart. He even saw through his pretense.
Chu Hongcai was also startled. In fact, he didn't know this, but this matter had been pressing in his heart. He always had to find a target for revenge to have the motivation to live, so he subconsciously continued to lie to himself that his enemy was Zu.
install.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Chu Yucheng turned to Zu An: "Azu, you came just in time. I wanted to lead people to rescue the master and his wife, but these guys refused to listen to me. Please help me persuade him."
After saying that, he turned to the officers: "You must think that we are second- and third-bedroom wives, so you don't want to listen. Now that Azu is here, he is the eldest lady's husband and the first wife, so you should believe it now."
Those officers still shook their heads: "If we don't see the military symbols, it will be useless if anyone comes."
"Is this what you are talking about?" Zu An took out a token.
When the officers saw this, they all knelt down and saluted: "Where righteousness lies, life and death follow each other. The sky can tell you, and the red robe is the proof!"
Chu Yucheng and Chu Hongcai on the side were immediately dumbfounded. They had just tried so hard to persuade them that their throats were boiling with smoke. However, these guys remained indifferent, and then they knelt down as soon as Zu An came?
Can you please stop being so snobbish?
Zu An said in a deep voice: "Come back to the city with me to save the Chu family."
Originally, he was thinking of finding something to say to mobilize. After all, he was going to confront the Forbidden Army next, so everyone would hesitate for a moment. However, as a result, those officers did not need to mobilize at all. They quickly went down to summon the soldiers under their command, and they were assembled within a short time.
.
Seeing Zu An dumbfounded, Chu Yucheng's words answered his doubts: "The red robe army followed our ancestors of the Chu family in the north and south and fought loyally. All the new soldiers behind them were passed down from father to son, and the wives they married were also maids of the Chu family.
, generation after generation, every member of the Red Robe Army is a son of the Chu family, and their fate has long been completely tied to the Chu family."
His tone was full of pride, and he obviously had a considerable sense of honor for the Chu family's army.
"Of course, in order to prevent someone in the clan from using this army to cause chaos, we also followed the iron rule that the head of the family must be present in person or have the military talisman before it can be mobilized." Chu Yucheng looked at him with envy, "I didn't expect that my uncle would actually use the military talisman.
I’ve passed it all on to you, it seems like you really have deep trust in me.”
Chu Hong couldn't help but snorted when he heard this, and he was obviously very dissatisfied: "Let me tell you first, this time I am not doing it for you, but for the Chu family. At the same time, I hope to save my mother. After all, she was not involved before.
of rebellion.”
Zu An smiled slightly: "Brother Chu is a gentleman, and I have always admired him. If the Chu family can survive this crisis safely, I believe that the master and his wife will pardon your father."
It is strange to say that Chu Tiesheng was so insidious and despicable, and the son he gave birth to was a bit crazy except when he chased Xingqiu Honglei, but he could be called upright on weekdays. He was completely two extremes.
After hearing what he said, Chu Hongcai's expression softened a lot and he whispered: "Thank you!"
He naturally knows Zu An's status in the family now, and with his promise, his mother's affairs will obviously not be a big problem.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them drove towards Mingyue City with three thousand red-robed troops.
When we arrived at the city gate, it was already closed, and many soldiers were waiting on the city tower. However, when they saw a scarlet army, everyone's mouths were dry, and their hands holding weapons were sweating.
They had heard about the reputation of the Red Robe Army for a long time. If a fight really broke out, how could a local city defense force like them be their opponent?
A general yelled angrily at the city gate: "There is no order from above for you to leave your base and come here for no reason. Are you, the Chu family, going to rebel?"
Zu An recognized that the other party was Pang Chun, the county captain, so he rode forward and picked up the military talisman: "Who said I didn't receive the order? I was ordered by Mingyue Gong to take people back to guard the Chu family."
Pang Chun said: "Now the imperial envoy is investigating the Chu family. Are you going back like this to openly rebel or something?"
Zu An said coldly: "It's just that lately, various gangsters have been plotting against the Chu family. We were worried that the imperial ministers would be deceived, so we went over to reason with them. Now that the Chu family is at a critical stage, if the county captain wants to
Stop me, don't blame me for not remembering our old love."
As soon as he finished speaking, the red-robed soldiers all roared, unsheathed their swords, unsheathed their bows and nocked arrows, and made postures ready to attack at any time.
Zu An never understood before that in this kind of world of cultivation, if one's personal force is so powerful, what's the use of an army?
But at this moment, he understood that although the individual cultivation levels of these red-robed soldiers were not high, there was a faint blue light flowing on their bodies when they advanced and retreated. This was the effect of the magic circle, which seemed to be able to gather all their strength.
stand up.
At that moment, he clearly felt that the pressure this army brought to him far exceeded the feeling he felt when facing Liu Yao before!
The soldiers at the top of the city were even more unbearable. The strong pressure coming from the front made them all look pale, their hands and feet were cold, and they all looked at Pang Chun aside, asking him to make a decision quickly.
Pang Chun also looked nervous. He also knew that the local defenders, who had been sparse for a long time, would definitely not be able to stop the elite red robe army, but they were responsible, so how could they be allowed to enter the city?
It seems that the only option is to die for the country.
At this moment, a carriage drove slowly from the outskirts of the city, noticed the situation here, and stopped near the city gate.
The car curtain raised, and an elegant woman in a plain skirt slowly walked out: "Pang Pang, why did you close the door in broad daylight? Open the door quickly, I want to go in."
Pang Chun couldn't laugh or cry: "Miss, can't you see the current situation clearly?"
The person who came was suddenly Xie Daoyun, the daughter of the city lord. She turned around with a look of surprise on her face: "Ah, it turns out that Mr. Zu is also here?"
Pang Chun on the tower twitched his face, Miss, your acting skills are too fake.
