Chapter 495 Clear Stupidity
The whole journey was silent, Gao Zilun could only hear his own heartbeat.
Because he was too excited, he did not notice that the servant did not come in with him.
In the alley, the servant was tied up and gagged, looking in amazement at the strong man who should have been on their side, and the Jinyiwei who should have been led away by the strong man.
Seeing Gao Zilun running in, one of the Jinyiwei picked up the servant and handed him to the strong man: "This man is a servant, take him to the palace first, and wait for him to identify him, then take him and Gao Zilun to the imperial prison, and wait for Lord Jiang to decide."
"Yes."
Lord Jiang? Lord Jiang in the imperial prison?
The servant was stunned for a few seconds, and then struggled like a maggot.
It would be death for anyone who fell into his hands, but if he fell into Jiang Wenjing's hands, it would be worse than death!
The strong man looked at the man who suddenly struggled in his hand, clicked his tongue, chopped the man unconscious with a knife, and carried him back to the palace.
Others also returned to Xu's house, found a secret corner, and waited for instructions.
Gao Zilun had never been to Xu's house. He looked at the house with a dazed look. When he was about to tell the servant to look for it separately, he suddenly realized that he was the only one left.
Damn it! He must have taken the opportunity to run back to the house!
Gao Zilun thought to himself that he would teach him a lesson when he returned!
But the most important thing right now is how to find Jiang Sulan's house without attracting other people's attention.
The longer he dawdled, the longer Jinyiwei and Ah Fu watched him.
Finally, as if considering that Jinyiwei might be back at any time, Gao Zilun had already made up his mind to go back. He casually plucked a flower that was blooming nearby, intending to use it as a bargaining chip tomorrow.
The moment he plucked the flower, he was thrown to the ground!
"!!! Who!" Gao Zilun floundered on the ground in panic. The next second, everyone rushed over.
The servants held torches and lit up the yard.
Gao Zilun heard a cold voice coming from above: "Isn't this the son of the Minister of Rites? What's the point of visiting you so late at night?"
It was Jiang Sulan's voice.
Gao Zilun's two arms were twisted by Jinyiwei, and his back was pressed hard to the ground by Jinyiwei's knee, forcing tears out of his eyes.
His eyes were blurred with tears, and he couldn't see Jiang Sulan's expression clearly, nor could he speak.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Sulan didn't want to talk anymore.
She had already set up a trap in her yard, waiting for Gao Zilun, but who would have thought that Gao Zilun was such a waste that he didn't even enter her yard.
Jiang Sulan saluted Jinyiwei: "Thank you all."
Jinyiwei was about to speak, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Be careful!"
Then he grabbed Gao Zilun and rolled on the ground, barely avoiding the arrow.
Jiang Sulan was also protected by Ah Fu behind him.
Suddenly, four or five masked men appeared in the air, holding crossbows in their hands.
The arrows were so fierce that two people were accidentally hit by them, and their wounds were purple and their lips were also purple.
"The arrows are poisonous!" someone shouted.
"Deploy a formation!" The Jinyiwei who was suppressing Gao Zilun shouted, and the others drew their swords and deployed a formation. The Jinyiwei handed Gao Zilun to Ah Fu: "Take Miss Jiang and him back to the palace quickly. There may be an ambush on the road. Be careful!"
Ah Fu said nothing, and flew away with one crossbow in each hand.
After all, the Jinyiwei had a large number of people, and their own strength was not weak. The injuries were also caused by the sudden attack of the masked men.
Moreover, the masked men's purpose was obviously not them. No matter whether their target was Gao Zilun or Jiang Sulan, it was the safest way to let Ah Fu take them back to the palace first.
Sure enough, seeing Ah Fu flying away with his men, the masked men also changed their offensive and wanted to chase after them.
But they were stopped by the Jinyiwei.
...
Although there were minor setbacks on the way, Ah Fu still successfully led the two to the palace.
The emperor did not rest. Seeing Ah Fu's torn cuffs and Jiang Sulan's frightened face, he said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Jiang Sulan breathed steadily and told the whole story in detail as possible: "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei..."
"Don't worry, the Jinyiwei are all the elite of our Tianqi. There are only a few masked men, so there is nothing to worry about." The emperor's eyes fell on Gao Zilun who was trembling below: "Are you Gao Zilun?"
Gao Zilun was shocked, hurt and afraid at this moment. When he heard the emperor's voice, even his voice was shaking: "Yes, I am Gao Zilun."
"I remember I said that during this period of time, anyone who approaches the Xu Mansion, no matter who it is, will be treated as a traitor."
Gao Zilun's eyes suddenly darkened, and his head began to buzz.
He was so scared that his teeth could not help but tremble and chatter.
He half-knelt with great effort: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. It was all because of my cowardice
that I lost my mind for a moment! Heaven and earth can witness my loyalty to Tianqi. I have absolutely no intention of treason, Your Majesty!" "I, I was confused when I entered the Xu Mansion. I admire Miss Jiang, so, that's why I took the risk. Please, Your Majesty, spare my life for my father's contribution to the country!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
He knocked his head loudly. Jiang Sulan cried when she heard the word "admire". The next second, she realized that she was not polite in front of the palace, so she sat properly.
She glanced at the emperor from time to time.
The emperor was amused by her sly look, but he said nothing, "I have sent someone to inform the Minister of Rites about this matter. We will talk about it when he arrives."
Gao Zilun licked his lips.
His father would never ignore him!
...
Nanlong.
They went down the mountain smoothly. Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Wenjing went to explore the way ahead, while the young high priestess and Bai Yan waited there.
The young high priestess' eyes were full of sadness, and there was still some anger.
Bai Yan said helplessly: "What can you do with the corpse? It will only increase the risk of us being discovered. Although the king has a grudge against the high priest, she is still alive. Now that the high priest is dead, even if it is for a good reputation, the king will bury the high priest properly."
The young high priest snorted: "But she has been in the mountains all her life, bound by her identity, and can only come down that one day every year. I don't want her to be trapped in the mountains after her death."
Bai Yan's eyelashes trembled.
It had just rained, and the breeze was still a little chilly.
The young high priest rubbed her hands, and Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Wenjing also came over.
"We have checked everything. We cannot go to the house and the embroidery manor before. The security in other places is not very strict. The most urgent thing is to gather the Tianqi Army that we brought in before. After that, we will break out and lead them to the front of the dense forest. Your task is to lead the remaining people out of the dense forest. Do you understand?"
Jiang Zhiyu took a branch and drew it on the ground.
The young priestess' eyes flashed with clear stupidity. Bai Yan nodded: "When do we set out?"
