The gentleman's face looked extremely ugly for a moment.
He pretended to be calm: "No, it's impossible. If you can really do this, why don't you attack Professor Jing?!"
Jiang Zhiyu squinted at him and said, "Have you forgotten that we need his pupils to go underground?"
Zombies don't have that kind of thing, and what's more, they originally wanted to adopt a stealth approach, so it's impossible for them to kidnap someone and expose themselves.
The gentleman frowned slightly and struggled a few times.
But this machine was carefully built, like a swamp. Struggling not only did not loosen the restraints, but made them tighter and tighter, almost sinking into the flesh.
This is really shooting oneself in the foot!
The gentleman thought to himself with self-mockery.
At first, he had thought that only someone else would sit here, so he didn't let them hold back.
Who would have thought...
Now he was the prey, and others were the butchers. Seeing He Yanting approaching step by step, the gentleman no longer had any other thoughts and practically roared, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
He Yanting responded with a chilling voice: "It's too late."
…
The emperor looked at Jiang Kang'an, who was standing in the center of the hall, and said directly, "Resurrection through a corpse, is this really true?"
Jiang Kang'an had known for a long time that someone was eavesdropping outside, so he wasn't the least bit surprised by the emperor's question. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is true."
"But Your Majesty, don't worry. Resurrection isn't easy. If it were as easy as she claims, why would she still be in the Imperial Prison?"
"When His Highness first went there, she was very excited and wanted His Highness to release her."
His voice was calm, and as he spoke, he made people want to trust him.
The emperor's frown relaxed. "It seems you've gained a lot from your trip south. Have you found any solutions?"
Jiang Kangan sighed, "There's nothing else we can do but wait for the person to wake up. But judging by the time, the young fish should be waking up soon."
The emperor remained silent and said no more.
Jiang Kang'an also stood quietly. He knew that the emperor would not believe him just because of his one-sided statement, but he really couldn't produce any evidence.
However, the emperor was thinking about something else: "How many people in the village you are visiting know this kind of witchcraft?"
“Almost all.”
"If I wanted to recruit them, how confident do you think I would be able to succeed?"
Jiang Kang'an shook his head and said, "I advise Your Majesty to give up this idea. They live in seclusion in the mountains and refuse to come out into the world. I have tried to get one of them to come back with me, but they refused."
"I entered the village purely by chance. I wanted to pick some herbs, but I didn't expect that the herbs would paralyze people. I was only able to enter after being rescued by these people."
"Later, when I left, I took a look and saw that the original village had turned into a forest. I don't know if it was a trick or something else. In short, even if I were asked to go back now, I wouldn't be able to find the way."
Now that things have come to this, what else can the emperor say?
The emperor sighed deeply: "I have no other intentions..."
He looked at Jiang Kangan, who was very well behaved with his head slightly lowered, and swallowed back what he wanted to say. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can go down."
"yes."
After Jiang Kangan disappeared from his sight, the emperor looked at Fuping and asked, "I treat them well, don't I?"
"It's more than good, it's an honor that has never been seen in any dynasty!" Fu Ping said.
"Then why does he treat me like this? Don't tell me you didn't see it. His words just now clearly showed that he was on guard against me."
The emperor's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved. "I'm not the kind of tyrant who kills people for a disagreement. If they don't want to come out, can I force them to come out, or even just kill them?"
Fu Ping blinked and said stubbornly, "Perhaps Your Majesty is overthinking this. From what Lord Jiang said just now, I know that Your Majesty is still quite dependent on you. Think about it, when you propose to recruit someone, which minister wouldn't first agree to your proposal and then try to persuade you if it doesn't work? Who can directly persuade you to give up the idea like Lord Jiang did?"
"This is a sign of intimacy with you. He knows you won't do anything to him because of this, so Lord Jiang dares to be so arrogant."
emperor:"……"
Isn't the latter word a bit inappropriate?
…
There was a slight ripple in Jiang Kang'an's eyes. The emperor was now partial to them, but what about the future? Who could guarantee how long this honor and favor would last?
For example, my grandfather and the Su family.
He did not take a carriage, but walked to the mansion. The carriage followed behind him, and pedestrians hurried past.
During this period, his spies also found out the details of Su Jibai who came that day, and it was clear that he was the former eldest son of the Su family.
Let’s not talk about how Su Bai survived when the entire Su family was executed. So many voodoo dolls were found in the Su family. Even if the emperor was framed, did he really know nothing about it?
Is he really furious, or is he going along with it and resolving the potential threat?
Will the current Xu family end up like the Su family one day?
There is also Xiao Chuji, who is still hidden in the palace and his fate has not been decided yet.
Jiang Kang'an's eyes were like deep pools.
But when he saw the person standing in front of Xu's house, Jiang Kang'an's eyes moved fiercely.
He took two steps at a time and walked forward quickly. When he stood in front of the man, he asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you back so soon?"
"You're not happy that Mom's back," Xu Youran said, laughing and scolding her. "It's been so long since Mom came back. Even if she goes out again, she should let me know she's safe first."
As the two of them entered the mansion, Jiang Kang'an reluctantly said, "That's not what my son meant, but Wen Jing has been sent to Mobei again, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."
"Why did you go to Mobei again? Didn't you send He Yanting to fight against the Wala? The Wala were so brave, how could He Yanting be defeated?"
"no……"
"mother?!"
"You Ran is back?!"
Before Jiang Kangan finished explaining, two surprised voices were heard, and Tan Shujing and Jiang Sulan looked at them in surprise.
Unable to conceal the emotion of the long separation, Xu Youran burst into tears. She rushed to Tan Shujing and knelt on the ground, "Mother, I am unfilial and have caused you worry."
Tears welled up in Tan Shujing's eyes as she stroked Xu Youran's head, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
She helped Xu Youran up and went into the house, and Xu Youran lay on her knees.
Jiang Sulan and Jiang Kangan stood obediently by the side.
Jiang Sulan's excitement slowly subsided as she wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Then she suddenly realized something and turned to look at Jiang Kang'an.
Zhiyu hasn't woken up yet! I can't let my mother see Zhiyu like that!
What you fear will come true. Just as she finished her thought, she heard Xu Youran say, "Where's Zhiyu?"
