Zhao Xu was filled with rage.

But to appease Zhao Wuxian, we must find someone to take the blame, right?

Cai Jing is undoubtedly a scapegoat.

Zhuge Zhengwo suddenly said, "Sir, this matter really has nothing to do with Minister Cai."

"Ok?"

Zhao Xu glanced coldly at Zhuge Zhengwo and said, "Shen Hou, what do you mean?"

There's something strange about him.

Aren’t Zhuge Zhengwo and Cai Jing enemies?

Are you speaking up for Cai Jing at this time?

"I am only speaking the truth."

Zhuge Zhengwo said calmly, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I received news ten days ago that someone was going to kill Prince Jing on the way."

"Ten days ago?"

Zhao Xu said angrily: "Why didn't you come and tell me?"

Zhuge Zhengwo said, "Because this is just a rumor in the martial arts world, it is not clear whether it is true or not, so I dare not alarm the emperor."

"Also, the chief constable of the Six Gates came to my house and asked me to hand over some of the Six Gates' spy files, which delayed me."

Zhao Xu frowned. It was obvious that there was more to it than just handing over the files in order to keep Zhuge Zhengwo busy.

Could it be that Fang Yingkan was involved in this?

Zhao Xu did intend to use Fang Yingkan to check and balance Zhao Wuxian.

But he was not allowed to take action at this time.

Cai Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. In my opinion, there are many people involved in this matter. Someone is trying to sow discord between me and you and put me in a disadvantageous position. I beg you to investigate thoroughly!"

Cai Jing spoke forcefully and with gritted teeth.

Who?

Actually stabbed himself in the back?

Killing Zhao Wuxian, such a big thing, but he didn’t even include me in the mix, didn’t even discuss it with me?

Cai Jing was very angry.

This is not right.

He has a very keen sense of smell and can sense undercurrents and crises.

The political struggles in the court are sometimes more brutal than the fighting in the rivers and lakes.

There is also a saying that when fighting in the martial arts world, the harm will not reach your wife and children.

If one fails in a court political struggle, the whole family will be exiled, and even nine generations of the clan may be implicated.

Of course, the political struggles in the Song Dynasty were not so cruel.

But in the Ming Dynasty.

There are major cases that implicate tens of thousands of people.

Zhao Xu glanced at him and had an idea in his mind.

It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Cai Jing.

Zhao Xu did not trust Cai Jing, but Zhuge Zhengwo.

He was indeed afraid of Zhuge Zhengwo.

But I also admire his character.

Believe me, I won’t lie.

He looked at Zhuge Zhengwo and said, "Shen Hou, you will personally lead 10,000 imperial guards to escort Prince Jing to the capital."

"Yes!" Zhuge Zhengwo said.

Zhao Xu coughed lightly and said, "Wait, the secret letter said that Prince Jing was injured, and the Divine Marquis went to the treasury to get a [Tiangang Seven Star Pill]."

[Tiangang Seven Star Pill] is an elixir presented by Master Xiao Wang of Quanzhen Sect.

Top grade on the ground floor.

It can draw the power of the seven stars to heal wounds and prolong life.

Zhao Xu said: "If Prince Jing is really seriously injured, the Divine Marquis must report back as soon as possible!"

He sighed and said, "Prince Jing is my good brother and a pillar of the Song Dynasty. Nothing must happen to him!"

Zhuge Shenhou shook his head in his heart. He just wanted to listen to what Zhao Xu said.

If Zhao Wuxian was really seriously injured.

Zhao Xu's attitude is likely to change.

He took the order and left.

Zhao Xu looked at Cai Jing who was kneeling on the ground with an unfriendly look and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with you?"

Cai Jing kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please understand!"

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Go home!"

"Yes!"

Cai Jing sighed, wiped his sweat, and left in embarrassment.

Chapter 288: The defeat of Yan and Guan shocked the world and annihilated Wang Chu and Xiang Yu!

"What? Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi were both defeated?"

"How can it be!"

Bianjing!

When Mi Youqiao's secret letter was delivered to the palace.

A shocking piece of news is spreading in Beijing, causing an uproar.

"impossible!"

"How could Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi lose?"

"How did they lose?!"

Everyone was in disbelief.

Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi worked together to stop Zhao Wuxian from entering the capital, but ended up in a defeat?

Such news is so shocking that many people think it is a joke and a joke.

Both of these two people were extremely well-known in the Song Dynasty and could be said to be the top of the Song Dynasty's underworld.

In the eyes of many people, they are people who can compete with Dugu Qiubai.

These two legendary masters.

Just like that, he was defeated by a rising star who had only become famous in the martial arts world for just half a year?

Although it is said that there are talented people in every generation.

And in the underworld, there is a saying that the period is twenty years.

What do you mean?

In other words, a peerless figure who has dominated the world for twenty years is already considered a "veteran".

Need to make way for the next generation.

Either retire or quit the world.

Those who cling to their positions and refuse to leave are often despised by people in the industry and become the whetstone for the new generation of young people.

This is also the reason why masters at the Grandmaster level rarely show up in the Song Dynasty's martial arts world.

Give young people opportunities.

But there are people like Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi.

Even though he is no longer in the world, his legend still exists in the world.

Such a result is really unexpected.

It leaves many people speechless.

Hard to believe.

Although since the second half of last year, all the news in the Song Dynasty martial arts world has been related to Zhao Wuxian.

He is definitely the most handsome guy in the world!

However, due to the idea that "hearing is not as good as seeing", many people in the north are skeptical about the news.

Even in this information-rich age, the differences between the north and the south, and the resulting different customs, can still surprise and puzzle people.

What’s more, in ancient times?

In the case of geographical restrictions and lack of information, people are more willing to believe what they see.

Among the martial arts world in the capital, who doesn’t have the names of Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi?

However, Dugu Qiubai and Zhao Wuxian are too far away from them.

They would rather believe that Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi are stronger.

But now, many people are silent.

Others asked around and thought it was a false rumor.

The capital's underworld, which had been somewhat quiet, suddenly became lively.

Not to mention the local underworld of the Song Dynasty.
