Save the tragic villain in progress!

Rong Xuan met Zhao Su's gaze, inexplicably understood what was going on in her heart, and unconsciously tightened his hands on the table, pointing out: "Your Highness has no bargaining chips now, it seems that there is no room for negotiation?"

Zhao Su looked directly at him, but said surprisingly: "Mr. is wrong, the one who has no choice now is not me, but Ji Fan—"

When Rong Xuan heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, but Zhao Su's clear voice sounded in his ears: "The envoys of Yan Kingdom only brought 500 people to Beijing this time. They may have a backhand, but the third prince is behind them, Yue Yuanting No matter what, you can't mobilize too many troops. Even if you add Ji Fan's three thousand cavalry, it will be at most ten thousand people, but do you know how many soldiers and horses are stationed around the capital?"

Zhao Su dipped his fingertips in the tea, and drew a simple formation map on the table: "There are a total of 500 elite imperial guards in the palace, all of whom are masters of the fourth rank. The guards at the gates of the twelve cities add up to 6000 people. The soldiers and horses of the five cities are stationed in the city, with a total of 7000 people, which adds up to 5000 people."

"The broken army camp and the tiger and leopard camp are stationed in the suburbs, with a total of 2 people. Once the Marquis in the east fell, the military power was left behind. The garrison is stationed, and it will arrive in two hours if you hurry up, do you know how many people there are in total?"

Zhao Su's voice suddenly sank, and it was very clear in the hall: "There are more than [-] people in total, Rong Xuan, there are more than [-] people, and some of them are even masters of swordsmanship who can block hundreds with one. If Ji Fan wants to leave the territory of Zhou Kingdom, It is as difficult as climbing to the sky. He may leave the capital with those soldiers and horses to fight to the death, but he will never reach the territory of Yan Kingdom."

She was telling the truth.

Because in the original book, Ji Fan had just escaped from the capital, and was chased and beheaded by Xuanyuan Qing's troops to kill the suburbs.

Rong Xuan couldn't refute, his face was a little ugly, and he didn't speak for a long time.Zhao Su didn't want to make things difficult for him, but now it's not a personal grievance, but the gains and losses of the two countries. She tilted her head and looked at the moon outside, wondering what she was thinking: "If Gu Ruo helps Ji Fan go back to Yan, if he doesn't keep his promise, when the time comes Not only has he established a powerful enemy for Da Zhou, but he will even become a traitor. Mister, let me repay this favor with another thing, don’t embarrass me.”

Rong Xuan: "Then His Royal Highness is planning to wait like this forever, waiting for the emperor to depose your position as the crown prince?"

Zhao Su was poked at the center, but still didn't panic: "Sir, how do you know that I have nothing to do. In any case, General Xuanyuan still has the military power in his hands, and Gu has more chips than Ji Fan. No matter how bad it is, it is nothing more than confinement and dethrone."

She has the trump card to fight desperately, and she still has room for a backhand.But Ji Fan couldn't wait, once Emperor Yan passed away, he would have missed the best opportunity to succeed to the throne.

Rong Xuan inexplicably felt his throat dry and itchy, frowned and drank the cold tea in the cup in front of him, and finally asked that sentence: "What do you want him to use as collateral?"

Zhao Su heard the words and slowly sat up straight, because she knelt in front of the queen's coffin for too long, her face always had a little blood loss sickness: "Ji Fancheng is deep and cold-hearted, although he has a gentle appearance, but He also hides the edge. He has been in Zhou for seven years, but Gu has never seen through what he cares about, sir, tell me, what does such a person care about, and what can he care about?"

"He is a person who has nothing. Even if Gu Gu wanted to take something else from him as compensation, he would not be able to take it."

What's left with Ji Fan?The only one left is Rong Xuan.

Zhao Su's words were not in Zhajifan's heart, but in Zha Rongxuan's heart, and there was a sharp pain like a needle prick, and even his breathing sank a little.

Rong Xuan still couldn't make a decision, he got up from his seat in a hurry, turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhao Su's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Sir, you haven't been involved in this quagmire after all, anyone who has anything to do with the imperial power Relevant things are necessary, and once done, there are bound to be risks.”

"Gu risked the crime of decapitation to let Ji Fan leave Zhou, yes, he left a precious thing as compensation, yes. It is the best situation to restrain each other. Only in this way, we can help each other wholeheartedly in future incidents."

"If you can't be so cruel, I'd rather you pull away and leave, don't get involved..."

Rong Xuan paused when he heard this, but didn't look back. Instead, he pushed the door and left. His figure quickly disappeared at the end of the palace road.It has been less than half an hour since he left the palace banquet, but when he returned, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Without him, there were guards standing outside the Chonglin Hall, and the maids and eunuchs all panicked into a group, crowded and crowded do not go in.

Seeing this, Rong Xuan frowned slightly, grabbed a passing eunuch and asked, "What happened?"

The eunuch didn't know Rong Xuan, but he still held his heart to share the shocking secrets, and said with lingering fear: "Hey, you are not serving in the palace, but you don't know! Just now the envoy of Yan Kingdom came to present the snow wolf, the two The beast became so vicious for some reason, and the cage was not locked securely, it rushed out and bit people everywhere, almost hurting His Majesty!"

Rong Xuan's fingertips tightened when he heard the words: "And then?!"

Emperor Zhou had already suspected that the Yan Kingdom had ulterior motives, but now that the snow wolves were so vicious, he probably thought they wanted to assassinate them.

The eunuch's arm hurt from Rong Xuan's grip, and he grinned his teeth and said, "Then? Then Prince Yan immediately stepped forward to escort him, and stabbed the two beasts to death with a long sword. Didn't you see that there was blood everywhere in the palace, it was really scary Dead man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly pushed away by Rong Xuan.The eunuch was about to start scolding, but when he turned his head, Rong Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense.The court ladies and eunuchs were cleaning and wiping the blood stains on the ground, lifting up the crooked candlesticks, tables and chairs, and replacing them with new candles.The two fierce and abnormal snow wolves both had their abdomens cut open at this time, lying on the ground bleeding profusely, the blood stained the gray and white hair red, looking bloody.

Sitting on a high position, Emperor Zhou was still in shock.Just now the snow wolf broke out of the cage and came directly to bite him. If Ji Fan hadn't grabbed the sword and stepped forward to escort him, his life might be in danger.

Zhou Xiqiong stood on the side of the hall, indifferent.Glancing at Ji Fan who was covered in blood under the hall, he thought that the Crown Prince of Yan State reacted quickly and was about to make a move, so he grabbed the guard's long sword and stood in front of Emperor Zhou, otherwise the envoy of Yan State intended to assassinate him. The name cannot be taken off no matter what.

Yue Yuanting never expected that the snow wolf would suddenly get out of the cage. He knew that something was wrong, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "You should die, I never thought that the beast was insane, but it was the madness that disturbed your majesty. It really deserves death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Before Emperor Zhou heard the words, a young military general suddenly got up from the banquet, angrily asked Yue Yuanting, "The snow wolf is locked in the cage well, how could it escape without reason? It is clearly pretending to offer a gift, but in fact it is an assassination act secretly, and his heart can be punished!"

He originally belonged to the former Marquis of Donglin, but at this moment he suddenly launched an attack, and he didn't know what his intention was. Could it be that he, like Marquis of Donglin, hated the people of Yan Kingdom?

Ji Fan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and finally took action after hearing the words.He raised his eyes to look at the general, half of his face was stained with scarlet and mottled blood, his eyes were heavy.Habitually twitching the corners of his mouth, he was obviously smiling, but somehow it made people feel chilly: "So it's General Pinglu. I heard that you have been stationed in the Liao border, so why did you suddenly return to the court? Could it be that it was to go to the funeral of your old teacher?" present?"

On the same day, the three divisions interrogated, and the evidence of the crime was solid. Dong Linhou was punished for several crimes and committed suicide in prison.General Pinglu Yin Pojia was raised by Dong Linhou, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not hold a grudge because of it.

Ji Fan deliberately brought him together with the Marquis of Donglin, which, as expected, caused Emperor Zhou to frown deeply.

Yin Pojia's face remained unchanged: "The last general returned to Beijing because he was dispatched by the emperor. He never thought about going to a banquet for the first time, and then saw an ambitious man assassinating in front of the palace. It is really hateful!"

Ji Fan lowered his brows and lowered his eyes, and habitually pretended to be harmless, but his words were full of wit: "The general's words are wrong, two beasts, a fourth-rank master can easily kill them with one palm. Your Majesty can With countless ministers and a rank-[-] master guarding him, how can two snow wolves hurt His Majesty?"

"My Great Yan and the Zhou Dynasty have always been friendly neighbors. This time I heard that your Majesty is making alchemy and uses the blood of snow wolves as medicine. This is why I came all the way. Yue Xiang is the pillar of my Great Yan. 500 people entered the Zhou Dynasty. Even if Yan Guo really wanted to assassinate, he would definitely not lose a dignified prime minister here, and he could replace an insignificant official from the Ministry of Rites. With only 500 people, how to rebel? How to assassinate?"

Yin Pojia was left speechless by Ji Fan's question. He gave Ji Fan a hard look, full of hostility: "If you are not of my race, you must have a different heart. Who knows what the hell you are planning!"

"General Yin!"

Emperor Zhou finally spoke to stop him, frowning tightly: "I know you are loyal, but Crown Prince Yan has just stepped forward to escort him, and he has shown his sincerity. I believe that Yan State will definitely not do such an assassination act, so don't say any more."

Yin Pojia paused when he heard the words, and could only cup his fists to plead guilty: "The last general's words are inappropriate, please punish him!"

Yue Yuanting also followed closely behind: "This time the snow wolf got out of control, it was also caused by Yan's improper domestication, please punish it by Your Majesty!"

How could Emperor Zhou have the mood to punish others?He stared at Yue Yuanting without a trace for a long while.I don't know what I was thinking, but I still suspected that Yan Guo had manipulated this matter, frowned and waved his hands and said: "Forget it, it is inevitable that the snow wolf is wild and hard to tame. Please step back, I am tired. Go back to the palace."

Emperor Zhou left Chonglin Hall in a depressed mood, and before he left, he did not forget to order those monks to collect wolf blood for alchemy.Seeing the crowd leave in twos and threes, Ji Fan stood there and exhaled slowly as if he had lifted a huge rock.

Yue Yuanting stepped forward, and was about to say something, when Ji Fan spat out two words coldly: "Go and investigate—"

Ji Fan already guessed something in his mind: "The snow wolf was escorted by the envoy of Yan State, and the people of Zhou State had nowhere to intervene. Those wolf trainers must have planted the third child, who tampered with the chains, you should quickly find out , otherwise there will be endless troubles, and I will report to the mansion at night."

After speaking, he threw the blood-stained long sword heavily on the ground, made a light clang, grabbed his trembling wrist, turned and left the hall.

Yue Yuanting stood where he was, and only realized later when he heard the words, his face became ugly.When he left Yan at the beginning, he only put all his thoughts on dispatching troops and dispatching generals, and he forgot that snow wolves can also do things.I don't know when the third prince put the nail in place, but I didn't realize it at all. If it wasn't for His Highness the crown prince's quick response to step forward to escort him, his life would have been in danger!

Rong Xuan was standing outside the hall.Just now that Snow Wolf got out of control, the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the hall inside and outside, not allowing palace people to come in and out, so he could only stand outside the crowd and anxiously wait for the news.At this moment, seeing Ji Fan coming out of it covered in blood, he felt his eyes were stabbed by something sharp, and trembled uncontrollably for a moment.

Rong Xuan stepped forward quickly, his voice was low and worried: "Your Highness—?"

When Ji Fan saw Rong Xuan, he was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, he didn't care that he was in the palace, so he reached out and grabbed him, as if holding a life-saving straw.The fingertips trembled so badly that even the whole arm began to tremble faintly.

Ji Fan's face was pale and frightening, and the blood stains on his face became scarlet. He stared at Rong Xuan, and said in a hoarse voice: "Rong Xuan, I just killed two ferocious wolves..."

He didn't know what to express, it seemed that he was simply repeating what he had just done.

Rong Xuan paused when he heard the words, and inexplicably remembered that when Ji Fan heard wolves howling in the mountains, he would be so frightened that he would hide under the quilt for a long time when he was in Taohua Village.I just heard the court lady and eunuch talking about the snow wolf getting out of the cage out of control, and I thought that Ji Fan must have been frightened, and I don't know if he hid well, what if he was accidentally injured?

Countless worries, countless what-ifs, and countless guesses, but he never thought of the scene in front of him...

Rong Xuan thought that the Ji Fan in his memory would hide and avoid him, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly kill the snow wolf, and just walked out of the hall covered in blood.

The smell of blood is very strong, and the fingertips are very cold.

Seeing that Rong Xuan didn't speak, Ji Fan repeated it again in a daze, and said in a low voice: "Rong Xuan, Gu Fang just killed two ferocious wolves..."

Rong Xuan subconsciously clenched Ji Fan's hand, and shook it back forcefully.He saw many courtiers getting drunk at banquets, and they were all walking with the help of servants.Finally, he stopped being scruples, grabbed Ji Fan's shoulders, and helped him step down the steps little by little in the dark, with a voice so soft that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be afraid..."

Rong Xuan said, "I'm here."
