"All you can do now is rage helplessly." Zu An sneered for a while, then pulled Sun Ji aside and whispered, "Prime Minister Sun, can I discuss something with you?"
Sun Xun cupped his hands in greeting: "Lord Zu helped me find the murderer of my son. I am so grateful that I have no time to express my gratitude. So please feel free to tell me what you need. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely help you."
Zu An rubbed his hands together, glanced at Qiu Honglei, and deliberately gave her a knowing look: "Prime Minister Sun, I suffered a great loss at the hands of this vixen in the capital last time, and I've been holding a grudge ever since, wanting to find a way to get revenge. I thought she was too mysterious and cunning to have any chance of revenge in this lifetime, but who knew that heaven would have mercy on me and let me run into her here. I wonder if Prime Minister Sun could hand her over to me for an hour or two so I can get my revenge on her?"
Seeing his gaze, Sun Xun immediately understood. How could a man and a woman alone in a room possibly retaliate? He put on a troubled expression and said, "Lord Zu, this might be a little inconvenient. Her cultivation level is very high. If you are allowed to enter, there is a high chance of danger."
"It's alright, my cultivation is still passable enough to subdue her. Besides, can't I just cripple her cultivation?" When Zu An first saw her, he noticed that the fluctuations of her vital energy were normal, which made him a little curious. So he took this opportunity to test the reason.
“That’s an irreconcilable feud. Her master is the leader of the Demonic Sect and a Grandmaster. If she really seeks revenge at all costs, even a prince might not be able to handle it,” Sun Xun replied. “Lord Zu, we’re all on the same side, so I won’t hide it from you. I would definitely agree to anything else, but this demoness’s identity is too sensitive. If it’s not handled properly, it could easily cause a huge uproar. So please forgive me, Lord Zu.”
Zuan sighed, "That's such a pity, such a stunning beauty."
Sun Xun thought to himself that he was indeed a lecherous man. He sneered inwardly, but on the surface he was very sincere: "Lord Zu, I will have someone arrange it for you later. The girls from Yi County are all tall and have long legs. They are not much worse than this vixen."
"Forget it, it's boring." Zu An refused directly and came to Qiu Honglei's side, looking like he was captivated by her beauty and reluctant to leave, but secretly he was communicating with her through telepathy.
"Red Tears, don't be afraid, I will save you."
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" Qiu Honglei glared at him fiercely, but secretly replied telepathically, "Absolutely not. The Prince of Yan's mansion is full of experts and heavily guarded. The Prince of Yan himself is a Grandmaster. It's too dangerous for you to come and rescue me. Not only will you not be able to save me, but you will also be implicated. Don't worry, I'm fine. They wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
"Come and try to gouge it out if you dare. It must feel so good to have your delicate fingers caressing my eyes, even if it's just to gouge them out." Zu'an replied while transmitting his voice, "Don't worry, I won't act rashly. I will only do things that I'm sure of."
Sun Xun, who was standing to the side, rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "This guy's flirting is so awkward, has he never seen a woman in his past life?"
Just then, a guard approached him and whispered a few words in his ear. He was taken aback for a moment, then walked to Zu An's side: "Lord Zu, the Imperial Envoy has arrived. Shall we go together?"
Upon hearing that Sang Hong had arrived, Zu An nodded and then blew a kiss to Qiu Honglei in the cell: "Little girl, get all clean and wait for me. You'll be mine sooner or later."
Sun Xun smiled outwardly, but inwardly he sneered. This guy was truly inexplicably confident.
Only Qiu Honglei realized what he meant. Her face flushed slightly, and she spat inwardly. It had been a long time since she'd seen this guy, and he was still the same as always.
At the same time, I was a little worried. What if this guy really acted impulsively? It's a pity I can't notify my master.
Zu'an and Sun Xun arrived at the Yan King's bedroom and found Sang Hong chatting happily with him. One inquired about the other's injuries, while the other complimented the imperial envoy's hard work. Sang Hong, in return, praised the Yan King's great achievements.
Zu An was filled with admiration. This ability to spout such bureaucratic nonsense was something he had never been able to learn; it was truly an art of language.
Gao Ying and Pei You, who were behind Sang Hong, secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zu An leave. They were worried that Zu An might encounter some danger while following Sun Xun alone, so they hurried back to report the news.
Sang Hong didn't dare to be negligent when he heard this. He didn't care about the safety of the Prince of Yan or anything like that; he was there purely for the sake of Zu'an.
At this moment, the Prince of Yan spoke up: "By the way, Lord Sang, there is something else I would like to discuss with you."
"Your Highness is too kind. Please speak freely." Sang Hong hesitated, which was why he had previously chosen not to go ashore—he simply did not want to deal with local forces.
The Prince of Yan said, "I mentioned to you before that we captured the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. I heard that this demoness caused a great disturbance in the palace a few days ago, so I plan to send her to the capital for the Emperor to deal with, which can also be considered as a way to vent the anger of the Empress and the Crown Prince."
Sang Hong was taken aback at first, but then he realized that the identity of the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect must be too sensitive. The Prince of Yan dared not kill her, nor did he dare to let her go, so he sent the hot potato to the capital.
He naturally didn't want to get involved in such a matter: "Your Highness, it is our duty to do so, but we have other missions to undertake and must reach Yunzhong County as soon as possible. I'm afraid we won't be able to spare the time to help you deliver this demoness."
Zu An was anxious and wished he could agree immediately, but he quickly calmed down. What was the other party's purpose in making such a request that an imperial envoy could not possibly agree to?
As expected, the Prince of Yan immediately said, "I would not dare to trouble Your Excellency with this matter. I only hope that Your Excellency can help me speak to Prefect Zhang of Yi County and ask him to send someone to bring that demoness to the capital. Because we have been fighting the Demonic Sect recently, we are really too busy to deal with it."
