Chapter 401 400 Look at the face, the identity is exposed
The two men riding on horses behind Gu Heng had handsome faces that could not hide their anxiety. There was also a middle-aged man looking at An Xin from afar with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Sir An, we have mobilized the troops to live up to your expectations."
An Xin said bluntly: "He went to the border guarded by his father-in-law to borrow troops, and he had such an invincible thing in his hand.
If you can’t mobilize troops, I don’t know how you will explain to him when you return to Beijing, what was the point of him exiling you here.”
Gongsun Hong choked. He tried to take credit but failed and was rebuked.
An Xin still had the fighting spirit in him, and he glanced at Shangshu Gongsun with disdain.
"Little Headmaster, we are back." Leng Xiangbai and Zhu Shijing dismounted and walked to An Xin. Seeing her clothes stained with blood, they felt heartbroken. They looked at her worriedly and asked, "Are you hurt?"
An Xin shook his head, "No, the enemy's blood."
Li Ziyu, An Rui, Jiang Zhou, Jiang Chenxi and others also came over.
When the war started, Feng Yuxiu and Shan Yongzhen cleverly found a secluded place to hide. It wasn't that they were afraid of death, but they were really not good at martial arts except for making trouble.
Under such circumstances, they knew that if they joined the battle, they would not only be hindering their own teachers.
"Sir An, I am Gu Heng, the son of the general who guards the border town of Nanling, Gu Kexing. This time I am leading 50,000 troops to help you suppress the rebellious king."
An Xin looked at the young general in his twenties with regular features and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Here, the private soldiers were beaten and fled everywhere. King Liang saw that the situation was hopeless and wanted to escape with the remaining several thousand loyal soldiers.
He was also surrounded by the army that discovered the situation in time, and King Liang had no way to escape.
An Xin stepped forward and said calmly, "Your Highness Prince Liang, will you surrender and follow me back to the capital, or will you let me send someone to beat you up and force you to go to the capital?!"
King Liang looked at this female official who had arrived in Lingnan less than half a year ago and ruined his years of planning, and he wished he could eat her flesh and drink her blood.
How could he let her have an easy life when he himself was in complete failure?
"Look at the person I caught. I hope the lady official can still speak to me so arrogantly." King Liang smiled sinisterly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Bring him up."
When Li Ziyu and his fellow apprentice brothers, as well as Gongsun Hong and his group, saw the face that looked very much like a certain important figure, they began to make some guesses.
When they saw the hostages with knives at their necks, they all broke out in cold sweats.
Fortunately, they all had been in officialdom for many years and were very good at managing their facial emotions. When they saw An Xin's calmness about Kong Xun's arrest, they quickly returned to their expressionless faces.
King Liang narrowed his gloomy eyes and looked at the woman opposite him. There was no trace of panic or other expression on her face because of the person who was caught. King Liang wondered if he had guessed wrong.
"Impossible, there is absolutely no way I could have mistaken this face. It looks so similar to that person, how could there be no connection between them?"
An Xin moved his ears and heard the words that King Liang murmured in a low voice, and thought to himself that something was wrong.
If Kong Xun had not looked too much like the emperor, Grand Tutor Kong would not have stopped him from going out. As long as Kong Xun appeared in the capital frequently, he would have been seen by other people who had seen the emperor.
Kong Xun was afraid that his identity would be suspected at any minute.
However, even though he knew that King Liang had already suspected Kong Xun's identity because of his appearance, An Xin still kept his composure and showed no expression on his face.
There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if the person King Liang had caught was just an insignificant person.
At first, Gu Heng also thought that King Liang had captured an unimportant person, but then he discovered that his uncle, Shangshu Gongsun, had one hand behind his back.
Not only were his fists clenched tightly, but they were also shaking slightly, so he stopped thinking so.
He also raised his head and looked at the man with a knife at his neck, but there was no trace of fear on his face. His deep eyes were full of calmness and composure.
An Xin stood upright opposite, facing King Liang calmly.
King Liang saw in her an unfathomable depth and the calmness and composure she exuded.
Such a person should have been recruited for his own use or made to disappear completely when he heard that she was exiled to Lingnan.
A trace of regret flashed across King Liang's face, but it was too late to think about anything now.
"Since he is not an important person, just kill him."
An Xin knew that King Liang's order was a test, but if he remained indifferent, then there would be no point in him saving Kong Xun's life.
"Wait." An Xin asked to keep the person.
Prince Liang smiled sinisterly, "Why did you finally acknowledge his status as a prince?"

An Xin: "He is a prince, how come I don't know!"
"You're kidding me." King Liang was a little angry, and said in a cruel and violent tone: "Do you believe me? I'll have someone chop him in half with a knife."
Gongsun Hong was afraid that An Xin would really anger King Liang, and he would really kill him in a rage, and then all of them present would be buried with him.
Even their families might be implicated.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Li Ziyu, who was standing beside him, reached out and grabbed his arm tightly to stop him. He lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice: "I advise Lord Gongsun not to speak at this time."
Shangshu Gongsun paused, and then he realized that the woman in front of him was more shrewd and cunning than a fox, and she had so many of his students behind her.
Along the way, I also saw how she protected her students. Just now, when they brought people over, they saw from afar that she was trying to save a few students beside her, and it seemed that her arm was cut by a sneak attacker.
She seemed unaware of the blood staining her sleeves. She was such a protective person, how could she let her students put themselves in danger?
If Gongsun Hong knew about Kong Xun's apprenticeship gift, the old emperor would have given it to An Xin long ago.
Although he hasn't formally become An Xin's disciple, but after three years of training with him, he can be considered half a student of An Xin. I'm afraid he won't be anxious anymore.
"Being cut in half is so cruel." An Xin raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Kong Xun who was held by the neck and pushed in front of the Liang Wang team. "Do you accept this way of death?"
Everyone: "…" Lady, are you serious about asking this? ! Kong Xun certainly didn't want to be chopped in half, that would be an ugly way to die, and he didn't want An Xin to see him die so ugly.
So he ignored the sharp knife at his neck and shook his head.
Then, as Kong Xun shook his head, a scratch mark appeared on his neck. Drops of blood oozed out and flowed along his slender neck into his collar.
Just when everyone thought that Kong Xun had a problem with his brain, he dared to move around with the knife on his neck, not afraid that the sharp blade would cut his neck.
A figure, as fast as lightning...
