"Xiao An Zi, thank you. You saved my life again." The empress walked over and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind.”
Zhou An nodded gently. Then, he went to Xiao Huaizhen, who was crying non-stop, and said gently,""Don't cry, that person is no longer your Imperial Father, and the one I killed just now was not your Imperial Brother, do you understand?”
"Zhenzhen."
Xiao Huaizhen rubbed his puffy eyes and sobbed,""Xiao An Zi, you haven't called me that in a long time."
"From today onwards, I can call you whatever you want when no one is around.”
Zhou An said.
"Supervisor Zhou."
A weak voice came from behind.
Zhou An arrived in front of Chen Anwu, who was breathing weakly and on the verge of death.
At this moment, the Viceroy's chest had been pierced by the Blood Puppet's poisonous arm. The poison had already seeped into his meridians, and there was nothing he could do to save him.
Zhou An thought for a moment and temporarily used silver needles to help him stop the bleeding.
"Just say it, General Chen." Zhou An helped him up. He had a full layer of the Northern Dark Divine Art, and there was no poison in the world that could invade him. Naturally, there was no need to worry.
"Japan. The Japanese…careful. Collusion... Well."
Chen Anwu used the last of his strength to utter a few unrelated words.
After saying that, his body spasmed for a moment and he stopped moving.
"I've captured the young general and crown prince of the East Ocean Continent.”
Zhou An closed General Chen's eyes.
At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard from afar.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, we are too late to save you! Please forgive me!"
Three groups of Imperial Army soldiers raised their torches and rushed over from the south gate.
They were led by the three commanders of the sixteen imperial guards, the Tiger Guards, the Valiant Cavalry Guards, and the Royal Forest Guards.
At the same time, two other groups of people with vigorous movements also flew over from the north gate. They were the people of the East Military Hall and the Brocade Guard, Cai Wuhuan.
"Master! Master, are you alright?"
When Hai Dafu, the leader of the East Chamber, saw the corpses on the ground, he hurriedly brought his men to Zhou An's side. He completely did not notice Princess Huaizhen and the empress beside him.
"I'm fine. Quickly capture all these rebels and bring them to the East Chamber for interrogation overnight!”
Zhou An ordered.
"There's no need. Zhen understands him. These pawns definitely don't know his whereabouts.”
The empress suddenly spoke with a cold and stern expression."Kill all of these traitors, leave no one alive!”
"Yes, sir!"
.......
It was night.
In the prison cell of the Supreme Court.
A group of Japanese people were discussing anxiously.
Behind this group of people was a fat man who was covered in wounds and had lost an arm. No one seemed to care about his life or death.
"Young General, the Emperor of the Great Xuancheng Sect hasn't given any signal yet. Did the empress's assassination fail?”
The only Japanese ninja in the team said.
"The Xuancheng Sect is smart, and if they succeed, they will definitely find a way to ignite the signal. Without the cooperation of our 1500 Japanese experts, they won't be able to do much with their soldiers.”
The young general of the shogunate, Genji Yoshio, frowned.
"Then…Young General, are we still going to act tonight?”a ninja asked.
"It's better to play it safe. We'll find another opportunity during the China Elite Meet! Even if things don't work out, we can defeat the experts of the other countries and boost the morale of our Japanese!”
Yuan Yisheng said.
"But that East Chamber's Chamber Duke Zhou An. It seems to be very troublesome." the ninja said.
"Hahahaha, it can't be, right? Iga-kun, do you really think that I can't defeat him?”Yuan Yisheng laughed coldly." Those who achieve great things are flexible. Today, kneeling down is naturally a temporary measure. Aren't we going to get out of this Supreme Court prison as soon as we want?”
As he spoke, his gaze turned cold and he said domineeringly,"When my eight blades strike out together, let alone the eunuchs of the Heavenly Dynasty, I will kill even the land immortals!”
.......
Dawn had just broken.
The first ray of hazy sunlight shone into the Fairy Hall.
Two figures stood facing each other.
"Now that things have come to this, can Your Majesty tell me if the gu poison in your body is related to that person?" Zhou An asked.”
He originally wanted to say that he was the late emperor, but after thinking about it, he changed his words.
"Yes." " That year, before General Chen and I led the army to the south, he made me drink a cup of poisoned wine. It was the poison of the wooden corpse from the southern border."”
"Even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs. What a ruthless heart.”Zhou An shook his head and said," Forget it, Your Majesty. It's all in the past. Do you know where this person is now?" My suggestion is that we have to kill them all.”
The empress shook her head." All these years, I've been secretly sending people to look for him everywhere. There's no trace of him. In addition, this time, Wu Daxun of the Golden Guard rebelled. I even have some suspicions."
"That person is hiding in Beijing!"
"Your Majesty, why don't you be bolder?" "Perhaps he has never left the palace?" Zhou An's gaze was deep.”
Hearing this, the empress's eyelids twitched, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face.
"Impossible. I have searched the entire Imperial Palace. That year, I was also a little anxious and killed many people from the previous dynasty in the palace, but I didn't see his shadow.”the empress said.
Zhou An still wanted to say something, but the empress waved her hand and said,"Forget it, let's not talk about him. Now that the only rebel loyal to him has been killed, even if he is still struggling, he no longer has any capital to resist me.”
"Xiao An Zi."
"Your subject is here."
"Those Japanese. How do you think I should deal with it?" the empress asked.
"I'm thinking about General Chen's last words.”"Before General Chen passed away, he mentioned to be careful of the Japanese. I'm wondering if the Japanese have something to do with that person's restoration." Zhou An said thoughtfully.”
"But isn't the Japanese still locked up in the Supreme Court?”the empress said.
"Yes."
Zhou An said," So, we might as well help him release him. After all, the one who committed the crime in the palace this time is the Crown Prince of Japan. As a country of the Celestial Empire, it's not reasonable for us to lock them all up."”
"So you mean…"
"This subject's intention is to keep the Crown Prince of Japan as a hostage and keep him in the Supreme Court for interrogation. Release the rest and let them play hard to get.”
At this point, Zhou An sat up with a cold expression."Your Majesty, leave this matter to the East Chamber. I transmigrated in, no, I was born in the East China Sea. I have seen the coastal people being bullied and killed by the Japanese. I will not allow the Japanese to cause trouble again.”
"Alright, I believe you."
"Little An, I have something else to give you.”
"I know that the Chamberlain of Dependencies is hosting a banquet tonight to entertain guests from all over the world. However, there has been a long-standing grudge between the various countries, so Your Majesty wants us to host it together with Lord Hu of the Board of Rites to prevent any trouble, right?”
Zhou An said.
"Xiao An Zi, Xiao An Zi, if Zhen had known that you were so smart, I would never have let you go undercover beside Liu Jin.”
The empress looked regretful.
"It's fine. I've benefited from the East Chamber for the rest of my life.”Zhou An narrowed his eyes and stretched.
At this moment-
"Royal Sister! Have you seen Xiao An Zi? The people from the East Chamber said that he didn't go back for the whole night!”
A familiar voice came from outside!
It was Eldest Princess Huai Zhen!
