Chapter 112: Pursuit



The noisy crowd fell silent for a moment, and all eyes were on the young man with his hand raised.

They were not familiar with Zhu Zan, but everyone knew Duke Cheng.

The capital city is a place of rapid news. If something new happens at night, it will spread all over the streets by dawn.

Everyone has long known that the Prince of Chengguo was involved in a fight and was to be escorted to the capital by the Emperor, but he ran away.

Everyone guessed that the prince of Chengguo was protected by Chengguo and thrown into the Jin territory to kill the enemy.

I never expected that the Prince of Chengguo would appear here.

After a moment of silence, everyone burst into laughter.

"Prince Chengguo!"

"Come and see, Prince Chengguo!"

"Duke Cheng, please keep us safe!"

"The Prince of Chengguo is so handsome!"

There was chaos in front of the city gate, and the officers and soldiers were almost crushed.

"Don't even think about using that trick again." A Jinyiwei shouted, reaching out to draw out his Xiuchun sword, "Jinyiwei, do your best. Anyone who stands in your way will be killed."

There was the sound of a knife being unsheathed, followed by the sound of a bang.

At the same time, officers and soldiers also drew their weapons.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and people no longer cared about watching the excitement. The Royal Guards had actually killed people in the streets.

At that time, Lu Yunqi was ordered to raid the home of an official. This official was quite supported by students. Many students went to stop them and appeal for justice. However, Lu Yunqi did not even blink an eye and directly ordered that the official be killed for accusing others of inciting a clique. Although they were not hacked to death in the street, many students were injured.

The people squatted down with their heads in their hands.

In a blink of an eye, Zhu Zan was the only one standing out among them.

The Royal Guards surrounded them, and so did the officers and soldiers.

Miss Jun squatted in the crowd and looked over. Zhu Zan still had no intention of running away or taking action.

He still held his hands high, with a half-smile on his face.

"Ah, I can't escape. You caught me." he shouted.

The Royal Guards looked grim, hiding their anger.

Zhu Zan has brought them too much anger during this period.

When they arrived at the Northern Town Court, there were countless ways to calm their anger.

"Capture him." The leading Jinyiwei said coldly.

Although they knew how powerful this man was, the Royal Guards had no fear and approached him with knives.

The man did not move, and a group of men stood in front of them.

"Wait." said the leading general.

"Master Wu." The leader of the Jinyiwei looked at the officers and soldiers here and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

"Thank you for your help, Lord Jiang. The criminal has been arrested. The rest will be handled by the Ministry of War." The general, who was called Lord Wu, said casually. "I will report to the higher authorities to thank you, the military governor."

Baihu Jiang looked at him coldly, with no intention of backing down.

"Your Majesty has handed this case over to the Zhenfusi." He said, "Master Wu is going to disobey the order?"

Lord Wu clicked his tongue.

"Don't. Don't, don't put the blame on me, this is too scary." He glared and said, "You people from the Northern Town Fusi are too scary. Don't just put the blame on me, we need to make things clear first. How come this case was handed over to you, the Town Fusi? His Majesty clearly ordered our Ministry of War to conduct a strict investigation. If we don't investigate, we will be disobeying his order."

Baihu Jiang's expression remained cold.

"His Majesty ordered your Ministry of War to conduct a thorough investigation. Have you done it? No one is going to Zhenbei, so His Majesty let us go," he said.

Lord Wu touched his neck and laughed.

"Oh, I know you guys have been a great help," he said. "Let our masters bring a cart of wine, and we'll go to your town bartender to have a drink with you guys."

There was a hearty laugh here, and a cold look on the other side. A strange confrontation was formed, and the people present could not help shivering even if they did not look up.

The fight is about to begin. The fight is about to begin.

The ruffians from the Ministry of War are about to start a fight with the Jinyiwei from the Beizhen Fusi.

If a fight breaks out, they will be in big trouble.

But no one dared to move.

It turns out that if he entered the city, someone would protect him. Miss Jun looked at the confrontation here. He was clearly under the eyes of the Royal Guards, but these people still dared to protect him. It is conceivable that if he had gone to find these people last night, the Royal Guards would probably not even see him.

But he still left the city, just to send that flower to his own grave?

Did Duke Chengguo entrust him to fulfill the agreement?

Miss Jun looked at Zhu Zan.

"Hey, stop arguing," Zhu Zan shouted, throwing his hands. "I'm not going anywhere with either of you. I want to see His Majesty."

To see His Majesty?

The Royal Guards and officers and soldiers all turned to look at him.

"My Lord, do you think His Majesty is as free as you?" Captain Jiang said coldly.

Zhu Zan looked at him and smiled.

"Your speech is really bad," he said, "and your voice is not good either. You should really learn from your captains and see how gentle their voices are when they speak."

Lu Yunqi's voice was taboo, especially when it was used to tease people. The Jinyiwei soldiers present suddenly changed color and could no longer conceal their anger in their eyes.

"Master Wu, get out of the way." Captain Jiang shouted, swinging the knife in his hand forward.

With a swish, the Jinyiwei guards all drew their swords and moved forward.

The officers and soldiers also raised their weapons and aimed them at them at the same time.

"Captain Jiang, it would be ugly if we started fighting on the street," Lord Wu said, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

Captain Jiang said nothing, but walked forward step by step.

Mr. Wu also had a serious expression and stood there motionless.

The city gate was like the eve of a storm.

Zhu Zan suddenly waved his hand and strode towards the city.

"You guys take your time to discuss this, I'll go into the palace to see His Majesty first," he shouted.

As the words fell, the man rushed into the city like a gust of wind.

The two sides in confrontation suddenly became chaotic.

"Chase them," both sides shouted.

One was chasing to catch, the other was chasing to protect, and they rushed into the city in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, the only people left in front of the city gate were people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Can you get up now?

The people were still squatting on the ground obediently until they saw a girl stand up and run towards the city, then everyone dispersed.

The streets were in chaos.

Zhu Zan walked through them and headed straight for the imperial city, leaving all the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers behind.

But after turning a street, there were no people walking on the street ahead, as if it had been suddenly cleared.

It’s not that there were no people there, as there was a row of people standing in front of the street. In the morning light, they were all wearing red and black robes with intricate and gorgeous patterns, which was particularly eye-catching.

Zhu Zan stopped and looked at the people in front of him with a smile on his face.

The Jinyiwei officers and soldiers who were chasing him also slowed down their pace. Instead, they took a few steps back and formed a battle formation to block this side and form a joint blockade with the Jinyiwei on the other side.

The officers and soldiers continued to move forward and stood behind Zhu Zan.

Although they were very scared, there were many people who followed the excitement. When they saw this scene, everyone stopped and felt nervous and excited.

"Surrounded."

"Who's coming?"

They asked in low voices.

"Isn't that Lu Xiaozao?"

Zhu Zan's voice rose in the quiet street.

"It's been a long time."

Lu Xiaozao?

Who is Lu Xiaozao?

People looked at each other and asked curiously.

Miss Jun, standing behind the crowd, had a blank expression on her face, without any doubts or curiosity.

"My nickname is Xiaozao."

"That's funny, why is it called that?"

"Because when I was a kid I was dark and small, like a date."

"That's hard to tell."

It’s great to be in Beijing. People I thought I’d never see again can now be seen casually on the street.

Miss Jun looked calm and clenched her hands hanging in front of her.

The men and horses separated, and a man walked out from behind. Even the morning sun could not add a trace of warmth to his body, and the expression on his porcelain-white face was as if made of wax.

"Master Qianhu." The Jinyiwei guards in front and behind saluted in unison, shocking the onlookers so much that their hearts skipped a beat.
