668 You Should Give Up Too

Some of the killers who wanted to capture Xiao Hanyi were captured alive.

Under the interrogation of the royal secret guards, they dug out a lot of clues from their mouths.

The leader of the secret guards led his men to the small courtyard and found Zhuo Zheng and the others.

However, they did not alert the enemy or act on his own. Instead, they returned to the magistrate’s office and reported to Xiao Hanyi.

Xiao Hanyi ordered decisively, “You guys keep an eye on their people first. I’ll find someone to cooperate with you to arrest them.”

He had let Zhuo Zheng escape before. Since he had found traces of him this time, he naturally couldn’t let him go.

The leader of the hidden guards nodded. “Yes!”

After he left, Xiao Hanyi wrote a letter and asked a secret guard to send it to Liang Mingyu at King Jin’s residence.

He did not have enough manpower now, so it was most suitable to find Liang Mingyu, the heir, to capture him.

Liang Mingyu did not hesitate when he received the news. Not only did he mobilize a group of elite guards from King Jin’s estate, but he also personally led people to arrest them.

Zhuo Zheng and the others were still discussing how to capture Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi.

Then, Liang Mingyu broke into the courtyard with his men and captured all of them.

Those who did not come today and those who suddenly ran away were also successfully captured by the royal secret guards.

Zhuo Zheng didn’t expect to be caught by the person he hated the most.

He was shackled and struggled to look at Liang Mingyu. “Do you know my identity?”

Liang Mingyu raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you the vile spawn of the princess of the previous dynasty?”

Zhuo Zheng’s face darkened. “Show some respect. We share the same blood.”

Then, he said, “I am also the son of my father.”

Liang Mingyu had already known Zhuo Zheng’s identity from Xiao Hanzheng.

“So you’re the b*stard child of my father and the princess of the previous dynasty.” He pretended to be surprised.

Zhuo Zheng choked. “I want to see Father.”

He didn’t want to be captured as a remnant of the previous dynasty. He didn’t want to die.

Perhaps only his father could save him now.

Liang Mingyu saw through Zhuo Zheng’s thoughts at a glance. “Alright, I’m satisfied that you want to meet him.”

“Bring him to the Imperial Residence. Escort the others to the prison.”

King Jin Manor.

Liang Mingyu brought Zhuo Zheng to see King Jin.

When he saw King Jin lying on the ground, skinny and no longer as spirited as before, as if he had aged ten or twenty years, Zhuo Zheng was still in disbelief.

His eyes reddened. He quickly walked over and knelt by the bed. “Father, what’s wrong?”

Liang Yujun sat half-dead on the bed. Seeing him, he did not have much emotional fluctuation.

He knew that this kid must have been captured. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here. They didn’t have much of a father-son relationship.

Instead, after Liang Mingyu entered, his calm face revealed anger. He raised his hand strenuously as if he wanted to curse. “Ahhhh…”

Why didn’t this unfilial son die?

Liang Mingyu smiled. “Don’t worry, Father. I will definitely help you take good care of this half-brother.”

These days, he had already thought it through. He missed his mother very much, so his resentment towards King Jin, his biological father, could not help but grow stronger.

He also understood that from beginning to end, only his mother, Consort Hua, had truly thought for him and arranged his future for him.

If this father was still in power, he would most likely not be able to continue to be the heir in the future.

Or if his father’s rebellion failed, he would be beheaded along with him.

Liang Yujun was furious by these words and babbled for a long time, but no one understood.

He turned his head and met Zhuo Zheng’s incredulous eyes. He suddenly felt embarrassed and angry.

Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

This was the aftereffect of that poison. One could not be too angry or angry, or else one’s body would not be able to withstand it and faint.

Zhuo Zheng was completely stunned. “What happened to Father?”

King Jin’s Imperial Residence only said that King Jin was poisoned by the North King, but they didn’t say that it had turned out like this!

Not only was his body extremely weak, he couldn’t even speak.

“It’s what you see,” Liang Mingyu said coldly.

“Now that you’ve seen him, you should give up. Neither the princess of the previous dynasty nor King Jin can save you.”

“On account of us being half-brothers, I advise you to honestly tell me everything you know. This way, you can still live.”

Zhuo Zheng was the most important bloodline of the previous princess and had many things in his hands. Xiao Hanyi had sent him a letter to emphasize that he should force him.

In this way, he could also take Zhuo Zheng and the other remnants of the previous dynasty as gifts, take the initiative to request the withdrawal of the vassal, hand over the army raised by King Jin’s residence, and send it to the capital to completely surrender to the Emperor.

Xiao Hanzheng had the commander’s tally on purpose, in order to build a good relationship with Family Xiao and to inherit the throne of King Jin’s mansion in the future.

Zhuo Zheng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. There was really nothing left this time.

Then, he was taken away by Liang Mingyu’s men. This time, they did not spend much effort to get a lot of information.

It was mainly because Zhuo Zheng was desperate and risked his life.

Very soon, Liang Mingyu received an important piece of news, and he personally brought it to Xiao Hanyi.

When Xiao Hanyi saw the message, he immediately used the eagle to send the message.

This was a flying eagle that his sister-in-law had recently domesticated at the border to deliver messages. Its speed was several times faster than a pigeon.

They would be able to reach the border in a few hours.

In the evening, an eagle flew into Shi Qingluo’s tent.

It landed on the table and looked at Shi Qingluo longingly.

Shi Qingluo took out a bowl filled with spiritual spring water and placed it in front of it. She reached out and took down the small bamboo tube at its feet.

This was an injured eagle that she had accidentally saved outside the border city. After feeding it a few times with the spiritual spring, it had attached itself to her.

Therefore, she asked it to help deliver the letter, and every time it came back, she would give the spiritual spring water as a reward.

After Shi Qingluo finished reading the message, her expression became a little cautious.

She reached out and scratched the eagle’s feathers. “I have something to do. Don’t leave after you finish drinking. Wait for me to come back.”

This eagle was especially smart to begin with. After drinking the spiritual water a few times, it had gained some intelligence, so it roughly understood what Shi Qingluo meant.

Hence, it called out to Shi Qingluo, meaning that it understood.

Shi Qingluo took the message to the main tent, which was specially used for meetings.

When the soldiers at the door saw Shi Qingluo, they greeted her respectfully with a smile. When they heard that she wanted to see Lord Xiao, they let her in.

At this moment, Xiao Hanzheng was discussing the battle plan with the generals of Daliang.

When they saw Shi Qing enter, the others were stunned, but they did not say anything.

If it was any other woman who dared to come to the military conference, they would definitely reprimand her.

However, if it was Princess Fu Bao, not only did they not scold her, but they also tried their best to smile kindly.

They couldn’t afford to offend the old immortal’s disciple!

Xiao Hanzheng knew that something must have happened, or else she would not have come over so suddenly.

“Wifey, did something happen?”

Shi Qingluo handed the news over. “This is the latest news from North City. I thought it was very important, so I sent it over first.”

Xiao Hanzheng pulled her to sit down and read the message again, looking serious.

“Lord Xiao, did something happen?”

The other generals could not help but feel nervous when they saw this.
