Wuxi Town, barren hills and ruined temples in the north of the city.
A figure staggered into the ruined temple.
"puff!"
As soon as he entered the ruined temple, the man spit out a mouthful of blood.
His face turned pale instantly and he murmured: "I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to deal with?"
This man was covered in blood, his eyes were a little distracted, he was panting heavily, and a strong feeling of weakness came to his heart. His steps were staggering, as if he would fall down at any time...
He just held on for a breath and didn't fall down!
This person is none other than Chu Yang, who has regained control of his body.
"Brother Chu, what's wrong with you?"
After hearing the commotion, Qiu Shaodong walked out. Seeing Chu Yang looking like this, his expression changed greatly. He quickly stepped forward to support Chu Yang and asked.
"This nobleman in the court is a master, at least ninth grade." Chu Yang looked at Qiu Shaodong and said weakly.
"What?" Qiu Shaodong's face changed slightly and he said, "You are not even my opponent?"
"Yes!" Chu Yang snorted lightly and continued: "We must leave here as soon as possible. His strength is not weak. I estimate that he will start to arrest me in the whole town next..."
"I understand, we will leave immediately." Qiu Shaodong immediately became serious and said in a deep voice.
"Where are we going?" Chu Yang asked.
"Jiangzhou, where the White Lotus Sect is based, let's go there to cultivate, and then we can take a closer look." Qiu Shaodong said.
"Um……"
Chu Yang completely fainted.
Qiu Shaodong picked up Chu Yang, walked to the dilapidated Buddha statue, pressed the mechanism on his toes, the Buddha statue moved, and a tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.
Qiu Shaodong hugged Chu Yang and walked into the tunnel, completely disappearing without a trace.
…
A few days later, Zhu Youji, Liu He and others returned to Kyoto.
In front of Zhu Youji's residence, Liu He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, we have to go back to Xichang to report on our work, so we won't go in."
"Well, say hello to Mr. Yu for me." Zhu Youji nodded lightly and said.
"Yes, Your Highness, I have resigned." Liu He bowed again, turned around and left with Liu Xi and Liu Liu.
Zhu Youji walked into his mansion.
"Your Highness, you have been working hard all the way. Do you want to take a bath first? Or eat first?" Uncle Wei, the chief steward, came over quickly and asked.
"No need, help me make tea!" Zhu Youji raised his hand slightly and ordered: "There will be guests coming to the door later."
"Yes." Uncle Wei knew Zhu Youji's character well, so he didn't say much and hurriedly went down to prepare.
Zhu Youji walked straight to the reception hall, sat down on the main seat, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After a while, Uncle Wei made the tea and put it on the seat next to Zhu Youji's left hand. Then he bowed respectfully and stood quietly aside, waiting for Zhu Youji's instructions.
"You go down first. If anyone comes looking for me, bring them directly here." Zhu Youji still closed his eyes to rest, and suddenly said.
"Yes!" Uncle Wei saluted, turned and left.
After another while of burning incense, Uncle Wei walked in with a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and a bamboo hat.
"Your Highness." Uncle Wei said softly.
"Well, you go down first." Zhu Youji opened his eyes, looked at the mysterious man, waved his hand and said.
"Yes." Uncle Wei retreated.
Zhu Youji picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, looked at the man in black robe, and said: "You came faster than I thought..."
The mysterious man looked at Zhu You's very composure, took off his bamboo hat, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, don't make fun of the villain. Even the villain has to come to this important matter of life and death!"
"Shen Fei, I know why you are looking for me, but are you here for Lu Jin?" Zhu Youji put down the tea cup, looked at this person and said.
That's right, this person is none other than Jin Yiwei's commander, Shen Fei.
As for Cao Shuang's boss, the three of them worked together in the early stage, colluded with each other, and committed many shady things.
And Lu Jin has the leverage against Shen Fei and Cao Shuang, so both of them want Lu Jin to die!
Because of Zhu Youji's promise, the two of them have not taken action against Lu Jin, but are waiting for news about Zhu Youji.
It turns out that Lu Jin did not die, but entered Fusizhao Prison in Beizhen?
This frightened Shen Fei so much that he rushed here without stopping.
"Your Highness, Lu Jin was captured by Suzaku and is now being held in the prison in Fusi, Beizhen. You may not know much about the methods of the Jin Yiwei. With their torture skills, Lu Jin may not be able to hold on for long. If anything, one……"
Seeing that Zhu Youji didn't care much, Shen Fei became anxious and said quickly.
"Are you afraid that he will jump over the wall and bite people when he sees you, and expose these things about you?" Zhu Youji interrupted Shen Fei.
"Yes...yes." Shen Fei looked a little ugly and nodded.
Zhu Youji stood up, looked at Shen Fei, and said, "Since you know that Lu Jin was imprisoned in Zhao Prison in Fusi, Beizhen, do you know that his martial arts has been abolished?"
"Huh?" Shen Fei's face changed slightly, he suddenly looked at Zhu Youji, and asked tentatively: "Could it be you, Your Highness..."
"I sent someone to do it." Zhu Youji admitted directly and continued: "He is a useless person now and is insignificant to the overall situation. What do you think Beizhen Fusi can find out through interrogation?"
"Jia Yan is dead. There is no evidence to prove her death. What he said is not important at all."
"I knew you would come, so I specially waited for you here."
"A royal guard who escaped with a palace maid, what credibility do you think his words have?"
"What do you think His Majesty will do with him?"
"Don't do unnecessary things, and you'll be fine."
"If you seek death yourself, no one can save you."
Hearing Zhu Youji's warning words, Shen Fei's face became a little ugly. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand, villain."
Zhu Youji walked to Shen Fei's side, patted his shoulder lightly, and said softly: "Relax! My commanding officer, the days to come are still long, and we may still have many opportunities. How about meeting?"
After saying this, Zhu Youji strode out of the reception hall and walked towards the palace.
He has done everything he can to treat Shen Fei.
He has already given the hints that should be given.
If he still plans to attack Lu Jin, he is seeking death.
Fusi Zhao Prison in Beizhen is not a simple place.
In that kind of place, do you want to kill a prisoner of the imperial court?
This difficulty is no less than sneaking into the palace and assassinating the emperor!
Now, Zhu Youji has more important things to do.
That is to enter the palace to meet Concubine Xiang Wan Guifei!
He deliberately did not wash or eat, just to show his fatigue and hardship, as well as the difficulty of the journey.
After all, he is a ‘filial son’!
…
Hanbing Palace, the palace of the imperial concubine Wan Gui.
"My son, please see my mother and concubine!" Zhu Youji said respectfully.
Concubine Wan Gui looked at Zhu Youji's dusty appearance, her eyes softened a little, and she said softly: "You're back?"
"Yes, concubine." Zhu Youji nodded.
"You did a great job!" Concubine Wan Gui stood up, walked to Zhu Youji, and praised: "Whether it's the Giant Whale Gang or the Jin Yiwei, you have done a remarkable job, especially in the I am very satisfied with this matter."
"Thank you, concubine, for the compliment." Zhu Youji said.
"As for what I originally said, you can take care of your duties as the envoy of Jinyiwei Town. I will go and talk to His Majesty." Concubine Wan Gui arranged Zhu Youji's clothes and said softly.
"Thank you, concubine." After Zhu Youji thanked him, he reminded, "Concubine, although the palace maid is dead, the guard in royal robes is still imprisoned in Zhao Prison in Fusi, Beizhen..."
"You don't have to worry about this, I will send someone to deal with it." Concubine Wan Gui waved her hand gently and said nonchalantly.
In one word, Lu Jin was sentenced to death.
Just as Zhu Youji said, Jia Yan is dead, there is no evidence of her death, and Lu Jin has no value.
For a worthless thing, neither the emperor, nor Concubine Wan Guifei, nor even Beizhen Fusi would care about it.
A person who doesn't care about anyone, no matter what he says, is useless.
Lu Jin's fate was doomed from the beginning, that is, death!
"By the way, Ji'er, you're not young yet, and it's time to get married. Do you have any plans?" Concubine Wan Gui suddenly asked as if she had thought of something.
