Chapter 64: Annihilate ten clans!
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan and Jian Ruocheng looked at each other and hurried forward.
When I walked to the door, I saw two people sitting on two chairs in the lobby. On one side was Prince Yan Zhu Feng, and on the other side was a skinny old man.
Like Jian Ruocheng, he was wearing a long blue cloth gown, which had turned white from being washed so many times. His hair was combed meticulously, and his beard and beard were covered with white hair, making him look like an old pine tree, but his eyes were particularly bright.
He was the one who said that just now.
Nan Yan couldn't quite believe that the deep voice came from the old man's skinny body, but when she thought that he was the world-famous Jian Tongguang, it was not surprising.
On the other side, Zhu Feng's face turned ashen. He stood up suddenly and said, "How dare you say such words to this king!"
Jian Tongguang said: "People do not fear death, so why scare them with death?"
"you--"
"Your Highness, the worst that can happen is that you can just kill me. Am I afraid of death?"
"You're not afraid of death, but your family isn't afraid of death either? Aren't you afraid that I'll exterminate your entire clan?!"
"Hmph, even if you wipe out my ten clans, what do I have to fear?"
Upon hearing words like "annihilate nine clans" and "annihilate ten clans," Nan Yan and Jian Ruocheng were terrified. Nan Yan hurriedly walked behind them and whispered, "Your Highness, please calm down."
Jian Ruocheng also reached out to support Jian Tongguang: "Father!"
The two ignored them completely. Zhu Feng suddenly turned his sleeves and left: "Let's go!"
Before Nan Yan could react, she saw Ye Zheng, who was following Zhu Feng, waving at her and then following Zhu Feng out. Nan Yan had no choice but to hurriedly salute Jian Tongguang and the others in the lobby and then follow him.
Nan Yan didn't know what had happened. When the carriage returned to the palace, Zhu Feng walked in and fiercely ordered Ye Zheng, "Send troops immediately to surround Jian Tongguang's house. No one in his family is allowed to leave!"
Ye Zheng just responded verbally, not daring to speak. After a while, they arrived at Wuying Palace. Zhu Feng walked in, slammed the door shut, and locked the two of them outside.
The two people looked at each other.
Nan Yan was frightened by this. The troops surrounded Jian's house. Did the King of Yan really want to exterminate Jian Tongguang's ten clans?
How can this be?
She quickly turned around and grabbed Ye Zheng's sleeve: "Ye Zheng, what's going on? How did it get to this point all of a sudden?"
Ye Zheng was also sweating profusely. He said, "The prince wanted to invite that old Mr. Jian to serve in the court as a Hanlin Academy scholar, but not only did he refuse, he also said those words to the prince—Alas!"
Nan Yan broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about what they had just said when they arrived at the lobby door.
Now, what Zhu Feng can't stand the most is words about the emperor, right?
She hurriedly said, "What should I do then?"
Ye Zheng was also sweating profusely. After thinking for a long time, he stamped his feet and said, "It's all the fault of that old Taoist priest with an ox-nosed nose. If he hadn't been so impulsive as to suggest inviting Jian Tongguang, this wouldn't have happened!"
As soon as the words fell, a laughing voice was heard behind him:
"Ye Zheng, are you scolding me again?"
Looking back, he saw He Yi slowly approaching with the whisk in his hand. Ye Zheng was about to step forward to argue with him, but Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Master, you have to think of a solution. The prince said he wants to exterminate all ten clans of the Jian family. What should we do? If that's the case, then—"
