"Prince, please sit down." Chu Lanyi tilted his head towards Mu Zhao who had just entered the door, motioning him to sit across from the small round table.

The door of the wing room was closed by two square-faced men.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell into the gap, and the broad and majestic backs of two people were printed on the hollow carved door.

"Master Chu, are you... planning to leave all of us behind like this?"

"You are joking, my lord." Chu Lanyi pushed a cup of tea in front of him and looked at him with a smile, "Even if I can keep the prince and the others, I can't keep you, my lord."

"But you can rest assured, my lord. I don't intend to do anything to you. The prince, Lord Lu, Lord Huo and the others are all fine at this moment, and there is no danger."

"Really?" Mu Zhao didn't comment, and slowly stroked the small celadon cup with his fingertips. "Mr. Chu came to see me, if you have anything to say, you can speak frankly."

Chu Lanyi chuckled, "It's so easy to talk to smart people. Since the prince asked, I will tell you the truth."

"In fact, we are also people who share the same suffering. We are both persecuted by the current ruler, and we are both forced to hide our identities and live in misery."

"And you are even more pitiful than me. For the sake of your family, you have no choice but to work for the enemy who killed your father. Now your whole family has been forced to leave the capital and become homeless."

Mu Zhao laughed, "It's not as bad as Master Chu said. In fact, it's pretty good now. I'm free and unrestrained, and I can do whatever I want. The most important thing is that I have Lang'er by my side, and I am happy to do anything."

It hurts, Prince!

The smile on Master Lan Yi's face quickly disappeared, and he couldn't even pretend anymore.

"Prince Duan, I don't believe you don't want revenge." Chu Lanyi said this coldly, his eyes fixed on Mu Zhao, not wanting to miss any change in expression on his face.

Unfortunately, the prince remained calm, and there was no extra expression on his dignified and cold face except indifference.

"I know that you have a private army of Prince Duan in your hands. The Fire Gun Battalion is one of them. They train in the wild all year round, so it goes without saying that they are strong. The entire Chungbuk Battalion is composed of Prince Duan's former subordinates. You have already contacted them, right? Don't say you don't want to rebel."

"Zhan Wuji has been in contact with you for many years. He is one of your father's former subordinates."

"Mr. Chu knows quite a lot." Mu Zhao raised his eyebrows, stroking the porcelain cup with a faint look in his eyes, "So..."

"As long as we join forces, the entire Da Qi will be in your and my hands."

Mu Zhao stared and looked at Chu Lanyi deeply.

At the same time, Prince Pingkang, who was imprisoned in another wing room, paced back and forth in the room, "I don't know what Chu Lanyi wants to do by calling Huaizhi alone."

Lu Qian sat at the table and persuaded him, "Please sit down first. Stop walking back and forth. You're making me dizzy."

"Do you think Yuhu knows what her senior brother is like? Huh? Suddenly she brought thousands of yellow-eyed weirdos, all of them holding muskets and aiming at us, and forced us to come here."

Huo Zeyuan frowned, "My cousin should know something."

Prince Pingkang strolled around the wing room, "Will she come?"

Lu Qian stood up and pulled him to the stool, "Don't worry, I'll come. When has Linlang ever disappointed anyone?"

Yu Linlang had no idea that everyone was talking about her. She was holding the Tianyuanqin with a fierce look on her face, staring at Yin Gui, Yiruo, Yu Wenzhang, He Qianyue and the others. "How could you possibly know?" Yu Wenzhang sounded puzzled again, "Miss Yu, you are being stubborn. You don't even know if it's right or not."

Yu Linlang made a "Puh" sound in her heart, but she didn't say out loud, "The Prince Duan's jade seal is in my hands, I know everything."

She continued with a fierce face, "I don't want you to think that I don't know. I actually think I know."

What a difficult question! Yu Wenzhang understood it three times, but still insisted, "Then do you know that the young general Zhan next to the prince is the son of Zhan Wuji, an old subordinate of Prince Duan?"

"Do I know what this has to do with you?" Yu Linlang was annoyed.

Asking her whether she knows something or not all day long is so annoying!
"Then you just don't know!" Yu Wenzhang made the final decision and tried to persuade her earnestly, "Miss Yu, you are young and don't know how to write the four words 'human hearts are treacherous'."

"I'm not illiterate!" Yu Linlang couldn't stand it anymore.

Yu Wenzhang ignored her and continued to babble, "Some people may appear gentle and kind on the surface, but you have no idea that they are dark inside."

"Yes, that Prince Duan secretly raised a large number of private soldiers, all of whom were his father Prince Duan's old subordinates. The prince has ulterior motives and sinister intentions. Do you know these things? You definitely don't know! You used to be a diligent and conscientious Lord Yuhu in the court, how could you be involved in these dirty things?"

"Now that you have resigned from your position at the imperial court, you must be even less aware of the twists and turns involved!"

Several people slandered Mu Huaizhi without leaving any room for death. Yu Linlang was furious, "Shut up! What's the point of saying this?"

"I'm saying this just to remind you that there isn't a single good person in the court. Junior sister, you can't make the wrong choice. We are a loving family!"

"Splash!" There was a loud sound of water at the lakeside, and a ferocious python head emerged from the water, slid casually, and slowly swam towards Yu Linlang.

Seeing this, Yin Laoxian's eyes almost filled with bloodshot, and he shouted, "Give the Holy Poison Python back to me!"

"I'll return you a piece of shit." Yu Linlang snorted coldly.

What a joke. How can I return the darling that has fallen into her hands?

Seeing that Yin Laoxian was about to howl, Yu Linlang quickly pointed at him and shouted to stop, "Don't break your defense! Old ghost, if you dare to scream, I will kill you on the spot!"

I'm not kidding. He has taken the poison and can die at any time and anywhere.

All she needs to do is give him some more poison powder, and he will die of a ruptured stomach in minutes.

Yin Laoxian probably also thought of the time when the little girl had someone hold him down and force poison into his mouth. He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't howl, and he couldn't hold it back, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest due to anger.

"Who are you pretending to be?" Yu Linlang said rudely, and turned her eyes to He Qianyue, who was obviously leading the team. "Mr. Qianyue, take me to find Chu Lanyi now."

"Junior sister, there is a fierce fight on the other side. We will go over later to help collect the bodies. Don't worry, I will take you to see the master before tonight. Just be patient and wait for half an hour." He Qianyue smiled and spoke in a gentle voice.

If you could ignore the purple bloodshot mark on Shao Qingqing's neck as she knelt on the ground.

"Young Master." Yin Laoxian was not willing to accept it.

"Shut up." He Qianyue glanced at him with a gloomy look in his eyes. "Junior sister likes the big snake you raised, just offer it to her with both hands. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" (End of this chapter)
