Aguzan's usually bright eyes darkened slightly, but his lips still curved into a smile. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. But if Aliji really takes control of the entire Tuyuhun, it won't be good for the Great Jin. I hope you understand that."
Compared to him, Aliji is a savage beast who only knows how to use violence. Given the current strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, dealing with such an enemy should be even more troublesome.
What the Great Jin Dynasty needs now is peace.
No country can be at ease when internal and external troubles are combined, let alone when these internal and external troubles seem to be working together.
Jiang Yimian looked at him and said calmly, "That's a matter for the Great Jin Dynasty itself, it has nothing to do with you."
The King of Chu was always cautious and would not act unless he was absolutely certain of success, let alone now that he had not yet found Aguzan.
Since Aguzan knew so much about the affairs of King Chu and Aliji, King Chu must have been very familiar with him and knew that his existence was a potential threat.
They are currently searching everywhere for this person's whereabouts.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have come to them for cooperation.
Aguzan was quite angered by their attitude, and a hint of rage appeared on his face. He narrowed his eyes before saying, "So what do you want?"
He thought he would have the upper hand in this collaboration, but both of them were incredibly difficult to deal with.
If this continues, it will be even more difficult for him to return to Tuyuhun.
That madman, the King of Chu, has somehow made a deal with Aliji, and is now frantically searching for his whereabouts in the capital.
Without the help of these two, he wouldn't have been able to return to Tuyuhun, let alone leave the capital.
Jiang Yimian then smiled and said, "Since you are so confident that we will agree, you should be very clear about the King of Chu's current plan."
Since it's a collaboration, we need to show some sincerity.
Judging from the man's confident assertion that they would cooperate with him, he must know a lot of inside information.
It would be a shame not to dig it out while we have the chance.
Lu Cijian looked at him, the meaning of which was self-evident.
If he can't offer any news favorable to these two people today, this cooperation is impossible to complete.
Aguzan gritted his teeth and took out an envelope from his pocket. "This is something we found from Aliji. It is enough to prove that the King of Chu committed treason."
Discovering this letter was an accident. I originally intended to use it to control Aliji, but now I have to hand it over to him.
But right now, this letter is all he can offer.
Although the King of Chu had private contact with Aliji, he was too cautious and did not find any other clues, let alone know about his plans.
Lu Cijian took the letter, opened it, and glanced at it, only raising an eyebrow.
He never expected that the cautious King of Chu would slip up in his correspondence with Aliji.
This letter was truly a godsend for them.
Jiang Yimian was also somewhat surprised, staring at the letter for a long time before asking, "How do you want us to help you?"
Aguzan breathed a sigh of relief. "Find me a doctor first. I'm badly injured, and all my guards are dead. You have to protect me."
Also, the sooner you escort me back to Tuyuhun, the better.
He's already barely managing to sit here; he has so many wounds, big and small, all over his body. Abiya and her men have been trying to kill him.
If he hadn't run fast, he would surely have died in the palace.
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and reminded him, "Now that Wei Jinghai has left with most of the stationed troops, the capital's military strength is at its weakest. When do you think the Marquis of Anding and the Prince of Chu would choose to rebel?"
He leaned back in his armchair, speaking with amusement, as if he were watching a good show, showing no awareness of being an ally, and even a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
"If you can't stop these two today, I'm afraid I'll have to die with you."
He spoke cheerfully, and if it weren't for the obvious meaning behind his words, it would have sounded like he was talking about something trivial.
Lu Cijian's eyes flickered, but he calmly said, "Then the Second Prince need not worry about it. Wang San, take the man back to the mansion and find a doctor to treat his injuries."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang San walked in from outside and gestured for Aguzan to enter.
Aguzan didn't have much energy at the moment. He only glanced at Jiang Yimian before saying, "I am willing to be buried with Princess Ning'an. As for you, a tomb for three people is too crowded."
Lu Cijian's brow twitched, and the dagger in her hand flew straight towards the other party.
Aguzan immediately dodged, only managing to utter a final "I wish you a great victory today" before being dragged out the door by Wang San.
For a moment, only Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian remained in the room. Seeing that Lu Cijian remained silent, she asked worriedly, "What is the situation in the palace now? Have Abiya and the others really disappeared?"
Because Aguzan was there, she wasn't sure if what the other person said was true or false.
The disappearance of Abiya and her party in the palace, in particular, is extremely suspicious.
The reason why the Marquis of Anding and the Empress Dowager's private contact went unnoticed was because the two were cautious, and no one would associate these two seemingly unrelated people together.
But the Tuyuhun people were different; the Chonghua Palace where they lived was heavily guarded.
She didn't believe Xie Jingxuan could be so careless as to not send anyone to keep an eye on these Tuyuhun people and let others let them go.
This is unbelievable.
Seeing her furrowed brows and puzzled expression, Lu Cijian reached out and pinched her cheek, smiling as he said, "You're quite clever. Abiya and the others are still in the palace, but His Majesty has imprisoned them."
If Xie Jingxuan was unaware that someone had broken into the Great Jin Imperial Palace and was openly trying to take away so many people, then he would be a terrible failure as an emperor.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, then realized something, "His Majesty did it on purpose, so that Aguzan would come to him for help, and he would offer not to be an enemy of the Great Jin."
Lu Cijian nodded. "His Majesty wanted to cooperate with Aguzan from the beginning, after all, everyone knows that Aliji has always advocated plundering the Great Jin."
If this person were to eventually become the Khan of Tuyuhun, it would be the worst possible outcome for the Jin Dynasty.
Now that an opportunity has been offered to him, His Majesty will naturally not miss it.
Even if Aguzan doesn't come to them, Xie Jingxuan will take the initiative to find Aguzan to discuss cooperation.
But a deal that's rushed is naturally not as good as one that you've worked hard to secure.
Now that Aguzan is in their hands and they need his help, the initiative is naturally in their hands.
Jiang Yimian was also a little surprised. She had always felt that Xie Jingxuan was a dispensable emperor, and he seemed too gentle and mild-mannered, as if he had no aggression.
In addition, the people in the capital mostly talked about the Prince of Chu, praising him to the skies, so she felt that Xie Jingxuan's presence was somewhat weak.
I never expected Xie Jingxuan to have this kind of time. In such a short time, he was able to find a way that would benefit him from the chaos and go with the flow to achieve his goal. He truly deserves to be someone who has studied the art of emperors since childhood.
