However, before he could even touch anyone, a tremendous force suddenly came from his shoulder, pulling him forcefully back onto the armchair.
The person, who was already seriously injured, felt as if their whole body was falling apart from the impact.
Aguzan groaned in pain, clutching his shoulder and frowning as he looked at the person next to Jiang Yimian. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by dissatisfaction. "Lord Lu, you went too far. I'm injured, aren't I, Princess Ning'an?"
He thought the man had really left, but he never expected that he was just bluffing. No wonder those people warned him that Lu Cijian was no ordinary person when he came to Dajin.
Lu Cijian glanced at him coldly, stepped in front of Jiang Yimian, and said indifferently, "If you don't want to be injured, I can shut you up forever right now."
Aguzan was taken aback, then just smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The pain in his shoulder constantly reminded him that the person in front of him was not joking.
He narrowed his eyes, then leaped towards the door.
Lu Cijian quickly stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, blocking his way.
Aguzan quickly gripped the dagger in his hand and stabbed at the person behind him.
However, the next second, his wrist was tightly gripped, rendering him unable to move.
Lu Cijian twisted the dagger with all his might, causing his face to contort in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground instantly.
It made a dull thud on the ground, and then fell silent.
Aguzan coldly looked at the people in front of him and said with displeasure, "Speak, what do you want to do? Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you."
These two knew he was hiding in the shadows, yet they still put on such a show to lure him out; they really went to great lengths.
Lu Cijian simply tossed the man onto the armchair before asking, "I wonder what purpose the Second Prince has in breaking into my fiancée's boudoir so late at night?"
If he hadn't been alert, this person wouldn't have known how long he would have been followed.
These Tuyuhun people are masters at concealing their presence; if it weren't for the bloodstains on this person, he probably wouldn't have noticed.
Aguzan merely snorted coldly, leaned back in his armchair, and rubbed his aching wrist before saying, "Abiya ran away with her people; you should all know that."
"Don't you find this suspicious? So many living people were taken away from the Great Jin Imperial Palace; you should be the ones who are more afraid now."
If he hadn't run fast, he would probably have been killed in the palace by Abiya and the others by now.
I just don't know if the person who collaborated with Abiya is the one he was thinking of.
Lu Cijian just looked at him without saying anything.
Jiang Yimian frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
Aguzan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then asked, "Why do you think Tuyuhun would launch a war now?"
Others think it's a coincidence, do you think so too?
If these two think the same way, then all his efforts to get here have been in vain.
Lu Cijian glanced at him and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, Tuyuhun should now be completely under your elder brother's control, and launching the war should be his order."
The relationship between the Great Jin and Tuyuhun has never been good, especially in recent years as Tuyuhun has gradually developed and become more ambitious, constantly harassing the people on the border of the Great Jin.
After Wei Jinghai's year-long stay, these people became much more obedient and even sent back a letter seeking peace.
He didn't believe that the current Khan of Tuyuhun would personally destroy the hard-won peace.
Therefore, it could only be Aliji's order.
Aguzan nodded, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "You guessed right. To tell you the truth, my father's health started to deteriorate when I left Tuyuhun, but it wasn't serious."
I never imagined that Aliji would be so audacious. Now, my father must be in trouble.
Aliji's biggest fear right now is that I will return to Tuyuhun, so he is determined to kill me in Dajin.
In a way, we're in the same boat now.
As long as he returns to Tuyuhun, this war will surely end.
Aliji will probably focus all his energy on dealing with him.
Lu Cijian chuckled, looked at the somewhat disheveled person in front of him, and said indifferently, "You're wrong. You're just a powerless hostage in the Great Jin Dynasty now, and you can't change anything."
I could even hand you over directly to negotiate a partnership with Aliji.
Aguzan leaned back in his armchair, a smile playing on his lips, and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yimian, saying, "Princess Ning'an, are you willing? I certainly can..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Cijian had already pressed the dagger against his neck, her eyes filled with coldness. "Stop your little schemes, or I'll kill you right now."
Aguzan just laughed loudly, reached out and removed the dagger from his neck, stared at Jiang Yimian and said, "Lord Lu's character is so bad, Princess, you've really suffered."
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said indifferently, "I'm willing."
Aguzan choked, feeling only helplessness.
Lu Cijian had a slight smile on his lips, but when he looked at Aguzan, the smile faded a bit.
Aguzan met those cold eyes and then said seriously, "Why do you think my elder brother would launch a war at this time by such a coincidence?"
Isn't your Great Jin Dynasty also falling apart? To tell you the truth, Aliji had been in contact with the King of Chu for a long time.
Aliji's sudden launch of this war must have been at the behest of the King of Chu.
If I don't go back, the border conflict will surely continue. How long do you think the capital can remain peaceful?
The King of Chu has always been ambitious, and this is a good opportunity for him. Oh, right, I almost forgot, the King of Chu is not the only one who wants that position.
Presumably, the Marquis of Anding won't let this opportunity slip by.
Aguzan's face was full of smiles, showing no sign of needing anyone's cooperation; he appeared unusually relaxed.
He doesn't think he's the only one who wants to cooperate.
The current situation of the Great Jin Dynasty is not much better than that of the Tuyuhun Dynasty, so cooperation between them is the best thing that could happen.
Jiang Yimian was startled, and then suddenly realized something, "The people outside the palace that day were yours."
Aguzan neither denied nor admitted it.
That day was an unexpected surprise. He just wanted someone to go and see what Jiang Yimian and the other person were planning to do, and to see if they could find out how Jiang Yimian ultimately defeated Tu Kun.
But what I saw was quite a show: the Empress Dowager was having an affair with one of her ministers. It was really quite amusing.
Aguzan stared at the two people in front of him and laughed, "How about it? Cooperate with me, and I guarantee that as soon as I return to Tuyuhun, we will immediately cease hostilities and become friendly allies with the Great Jin."
We will never again initiate a war against the Great Jin. This is good for us all.
Lu Cijian looked at him indifferently, "Why do you think we'll believe you? You're nothing but a caged beast now. Anyone outside could kill you with a flick of their finger."
Trapped in the capital, anyone who dares to take a single step outside will surely die without a burial place.
