Gao Zilun looked up and saw a man standing up angrily. "Gao Zilun, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you! And you're trying to lure the Jinyiwei away? Do you really think the Jinyiwei are just there to do nothing? This is ridiculous!"
He threw down a word and walked away.
No one stopped him.
Gao Zilun's eyes were sinister, and he muttered something before looking away and looking at the person next to him: "You ungrateful thing, let's continue. Where were we just now?"
“…”
There was a long silence, and then another person stood up and said, "I have some things to do at home, so I'll be leaving soon."
Another person followed closely: "I suddenly remembered that my little bitch is about to give birth. I have to go back and take a look."
"Goodbye."
"See you some other day, see you some other day."
In the blink of an eye, most of the people on the pleasure boat had left. Gao Zilun, who had been dismissive at first, became bewildered: "Brother Song, Brother Han..."
In a blink of an eye, only Gao Zilun and his servants were left on the pleasure boat.
His expression suddenly changed, he clenched his teeth, and his whole body was filled with anger: "They are all a bunch of cowardly losers! The Xu family has lost its power. How many times do I have to say it?!"
"You're so timid, no wonder you can't accomplish anything great!"
"Didn't they just say it before? Now that it's time to do it, everyone is scared!"
He waved his long arm, and the plates and bowls on the table fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The servants stood by with fear.
When he finally calmed down, the servant dared to come forward to serve him: "My dear, don't you just want to lure away the Jinyiwei? A big reward will always attract brave men. Find a few country folk and give them money, and you can do it, right?"
"What do you know! How long can a country bumpkin hold them back? The Imperial Guards will just hack them down one by one."
Gao Zilun frowned impatiently.
"Then find some martial artists. There are quite a few martial artists in the capital."
Gao Zilun seemed to be lost in thought.
…
Xiao Lingyu slept shorter than Jiang Kangan and recovered his energy overnight.
When Xiao Lingyu thought of what he said to the emperor when he was dazed, his eyes went dark.
Why stay awake? Might as well just fall into a deep sleep!
Before he could calm down, the emperor walked in. Seeing Xiao Lingyu awake, he whispered, "Awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and got out of bed: "Father, your son..."
"Okay," the emperor raised his hand to signal him to stop.
He knew what Xiao Lingyu was going to say, which was nothing more than some words of apology.
"This is not your fault. It's my fault for not thinking it through."
Hearing the emperor say this, Xiao Lingyu was stunned and a little frightened.
"Recover your health in the palace these few days. I'm afraid he will attack you next."
When this matter was mentioned, Xiao Lingyu nodded seriously.
The emperor looked at him and turned to leave.
A captain of the Imperial Guard stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, Gao Zilun, went to the Sixth Prince's residence. I don't know what they talked about inside, but he was thrown out by the Sixth Prince's residence."
"After that, he went to the pleasure boat and summoned many young masters from aristocratic families. Not long after, they all came out with angry expressions on their faces."
The emperor pursed his lips. Gao Zilun was not on his mind, but...
"I think I said that no one is allowed to visit the Sixth Prince during his confinement. This Gao Zilun is quite bold."
Qian Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he heard a voice above his head ask, "What does he want to do?"
"He, he..." The captain hesitated, "He wanted to lure away the Jinyiwei in front of the Xu Mansion and defile Miss Jiang."
The only Miss Jiang in the Xu family now is Jiang Sulan.
The emperor chuckled softly.
"The son raised by this Minister of Rites is truly extraordinary. There was Gao Yan before him, and there is Gao Zilun after him."
"By the way, how is Gao Yan?"
The captain said solemnly, "After the confrontation in front of the palace, he returned home and hanged himself. The Minister of Rites was worried that the emperor would be angry, so he sent someone to take the body back to his hometown for burial overnight."
As for whether it was a real burial or a fake burial, he didn't know.
The emperor nodded slightly.
Qianhu said cautiously: "Then this..."
To care or not to care?
"Have him lead the way. Once we have entered the Xu residence, and the evidence is irrefutable, bring them directly to me."
Qianhu bowed his head and disappeared in an instant.
After leaving the hall, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask the emperor whether he should tell Jiang Kang'an.
He hesitated for a while, and finally rushed towards the imperial prison.
…
After several days and nights of searching day and night, the King of Nan Gu finally believed that there was no more gunpowder in Nan Gu.
His face seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds, and it was terribly cold.
After this incident, he not only hated Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Wenjing, but also the Great Elder.
If the Great Elder hadn't said that they were powerful on the outside but weak on the inside, how could he have allowed his subjects to test them?!
Instead, they stole the limelight, while our side lost a capable general!
King Nan Gu was unhappy and had a bad face for several days. He also contradicted the Great Elder in front of everyone. The other four elders looked at the Great Elder with gradually deeper eyes.
Nan Gu is now in a state of impending storm. Apart from Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu, the one who is most happy to see this scene is Casas.
As gloomier as King Nan Gu's expression was, Casas's expression was brighter.
Jiang Wenjing couldn't help but sigh in his heart every time:
What a filial son! He really loves his father so much.
The rain in Nan Gu has also shown a tendency to stagnate. With so many people in the army, it is naturally impossible to bring in all of them, but nearly 500 elite soldiers have been brought in in the past few days, so it is possible to launch a surprise attack.
Moreover, because of the gunpowder incident, King Nan Gu's patience with them has almost reached its limit.
No monarch can tolerate the constant presence of uncertain threats on his territory.
I believe that within a week, King Nan Gu will kill them all.
However, at this moment, Casas came again with a message.
"The high priest wants to see you."
…
Inside the imperial prison, the captain recounted the entire story, and Xu Yanli's hands were already clenched into fists.
Jiang Kangan's face also looked unhappy.
Even if there were no Jinyiwei, with Ah Fu in the Xu Mansion, he was not worried about the safety of his grandmother and Sulan.
But not worrying is one thing, and being angry about it is another.
"Don't worry, the Jinyiwei are just pretending to be led away. I will protect Miss Jiang's safety in secret."
Mistaking them for Jiang Sulan's safety, Qianhu hastened to assure her.
Jiang Kang'an was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Master Qian Hu, can I ask you for a favor?"
The captain was flattered: "If you want to order anything, just tell me."
Although Jiang Kang'an did not hold any actual official position, his weight in the emperor's heart was greater than that of any other minister.
Of course, Qianhu did not dare to neglect it.
"After you catch him, beat him to death, but don't let him die."
