Upon hearing his words, Chu Zhongtian suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, where is Chu Yan? She's in the capital. Let her help make some plans in advance and see if there's any way."
Qin Wanru shook her head: "Judging from the time, Chu Yan should be on her way back to Mingyue City. We lent the audio-visual mirror to Zu An before, and now we can't contact her."
Chu Zhongtian's expression froze for a moment, then he finally sighed, "Is this fate?"
While the Chu family was filled with grief and despair, the others in the room were full of energy.
Xie Yi exchanged a few pleasantries with Chu Zhongtian before hurriedly leaving, eager to report the matter of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to the King of Qi.
Many other people at the scene shared similar thoughts, but it was unclear which faction they represented.
As Jiang Luofu watched the departing convoy, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed deeply, clearly indicating that she also found the matter quite troublesome.
"What a troublesome brat!" she snorted, and with a flash, she disappeared without a trace.
In an attic on the other side, a beautiful figure was hidden behind a window. Although her face was obscured by the shadow of the window, her voluptuous and proud figure still gave her away.
Pei Mianman kept twirling a strand of hair between her fingers, muttering to herself, "You've really given me a lot of surprises. Sigh, I should have snatched you away sooner. But it's alright, at least now I don't have to compete with Chu Yan for you."
Her smile quickly faded, because competing with the emperor for someone else's affections was far more difficult.
"Looks like I'll have to ask my family for help; they're definitely interested anyway." After saying this, Pei Mianman turned and left, leaving only a faint fragrance in the air.
At this moment, in the college dormitory, a girl was resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought: "You stinky brother-in-law, why haven't you come back to find me after all this time?"
...
Achoo! Achoo! Achoo...
At this moment, Zuan, who was in the prison van, sneezed several times in a row and couldn't help but sigh, "It must be some beautiful girl missing me again, and there's more than one."
Zheng Dan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Teacher Zu is as narcissistic as ever."
With so many eyes watching, especially Sang Qian in another prison cart not far away who was practically straining his ears to hear what was going on, she dared not show the slightest abnormality and could only interact with him as Miss Zheng.
Zuan laughed heartily: "There's nothing I can do about it, I've always been so popular."
Zheng Dan couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know whether to admire your magnanimity or laugh at your foolishness. Do you know that this trip to the capital is a death sentence?"
She expressed her concerns with a sarcastic tone. She really didn't understand why this guy would take the initiative to seek death. Was that woman from the Chu family really that important to him?
Anger level from Zheng Dan +233!
Seeing the string of anger points that appeared in the background, Zu An was taken aback, then realized: "What, is Miss Zheng jealous?"
Zheng Dan turned his face away and snorted, "I hope you will have some self-respect."
"Well done!" On the other side, inside the prison van, Sang Qian heard his wife's blunt words and his face was full of excitement. If his speech points hadn't been sealed, he probably would have already clapped and cheered.
Zu An deliberately moved closer to Zheng Dan, then gave Sang Qian a deliberately provocative look: "Come and bite me if you dare?"
Sang Qian: "..."
I fucking challenge you to a duel!
Seeing the other person getting closer and closer to his wife, and being unable to stop them, he was so angry he was about to explode. He made muffled noises, but unfortunately, his speech acupoints were sealed, so he couldn't speak at all.
This made him even angrier.
Anger from Sang Qian: +999!
He could only keep banging on the side of the prison van and shouting to the soldiers around him.
"What's wrong?" The soldier guarding him turned around impatiently.
Sang Qian hurriedly pointed to Zu An in front of him, expressing his anger with gestures.
The soldier said impatiently, "We haven't even touched it yet, what's the rush?"
Sang Qian became even more anxious. What good would it do to worry if he and his wife were to get together?
At this moment, another soldier shouted, "What could he possibly do in broad daylight? Don't have such filthy thoughts. If you don't behave, don't blame us for being impolite!"
In the past, they might have been more polite to Sang Qian and his son, after all, Sang Hong was an eighth-rank expert, and there was no guarantee that he would have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
But the series of arrangements made by King Liang just now made them realize that the Sang family father and son were definitely doomed.
The King of Liang must have received far more information. He didn't care about the two men's feelings at all, which speaks volumes. Their other skills as subordinates are one thing, but their ability to read people's expressions and moods must be unparalleled.
Therefore, they naturally didn't need to be polite to Sang Qian. In addition, since King Liang valued Zu'an so much, they also knew who was the boss here.
Even if Zu'an were to pounce on Zheng Dan and do something, the two of them probably wouldn't stop him. Instead, they'd get to watch a lively and exciting show. Why not?
Sang Qian, being a man of officialdom, immediately realized what was happening and was furious. "These two sycophantic dogs! Once I'm free, I'll kill Zu An first, then I'll slaughter you two!"
The commotion on Sang Qian's side did not escape Zheng Dan's notice on the other side, and she couldn't help but say, "Why do you have to provoke him?"
Zuan laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do. This guy and I are just incompatible. He's unhappy when he sees me, and I get angry when I see him."
Zheng Dan gave him a resentful look: "Haven't you bullied him enough?"
