People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

The three of them felt relieved when they heard that Zhuge Shenhou was not in danger of his life.

The three of them started to worry about Lu Chen again. The imperial court was so well prepared this time. If Lu Chen had not prepared in advance, he would be doomed.

"Okay, I'm here to remind you that you will be out when this matter is over."

Ji Yaohua said with a smile.

When leaving, Ji Yaohua suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Zhui Ming went to the capital with Lu Chen."

"What does she mean?"

Tie Shou was confused.

"This is not that simple. The imperial court wants to use Zhui Ming to lure Lu Chen to the capital."

Leng Xue rolled his eyes.

Tie Shou touched his head and said, "No wonder I didn't see Zhui Ming. So this is the case."

"Wuqing, what's wrong with you?"

Tie Shou asked Wuqing who was silent and lowered his head.

Wuqing heard this and raised his head and said, "I'm thinking about how we can spread the news and remind Lu Chen not to come to the capital."

Tie Shou shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it. Don't you know what this dungeon is? We can't escape at all."

This dungeon was built for the purpose of imprisoning those martial arts masters who had committed heinous crimes. Even if a master is a grandmaster, he will have no hope of escaping once he enters the dungeon.

Given the level of these three people, it would not be easy to escape from prison without help from others, even if they were very familiar with the dungeon.

Therefore, they had no way to spread the news.

The three of them were silent for a while.

"It's not impossible."

Tie Shou suddenly said.

Hearing this, Lengxue and Wuqing both looked up at Tieshou.

Tie Shou said somewhat embarrassedly: "Did you forget about Old Man Yang who came to deliver the meal?"

Lengxue and Wuqing's eyes lit up. Old Man Yang was the handyman who delivered meals to the dungeon and was very familiar with them.

It is unrealistic to ask Old Man Yang to let them out, but it is not difficult to ask him to deliver a message.

……

Undercurrents were surging in the capital. Some well-informed forces chose to wait and see, while more forces chose to remain silent.

In an inconspicuous courtyard in the capital, King Zuo Wu met with Cai Jing.

The two of them both cooperated and exploited each other.

King Zuo Wu hoped to control Cai Jing and use him to help him ascend the throne, but Cai Jing agreed on the surface but did not take any action.

Cai Jing had never met him before, but this time he took the initiative to ask him out, which made him feel confused.

Cai Jing's cooperation with King Zuo Wu was just an extra trump card. He was the most trusted person by the current emperor. The reason why he could serve as prime minister until now was because of the trust of the emperor.

But the King Zuo Wu in front of him is different. He is too ambitious. If he becomes emperor, the first person he will get rid of will probably be Cai Jing.

Therefore, Cai Jing was very clear that he would never support Prince Zuo Wu's rebellion, but he could cooperate with him.

"Prime Minister Cai, you are not inviting me here just to drink tea, right?"

King Zuo Wu put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Cai Jing with a smile.

"Your Highness, you are joking. This time I am meeting you to discuss something important."

Cai Jing smiled.

"Oh, Prime Minister Cai wasn't like this before."

King Zuo Wu said with a slightly cold look.

Having tried to win over Cai Jing for so long, how could King Zuo Wu not understand what Cai Jing was thinking? He would never support him.

However, Cai Jing had great power in the court, and if he wanted to ascend the throne, he could not fall out with him in a short period of time.

"Don't blame me, Your Majesty. What happened before was all my fault."

Cai Jing laughed and continued, "Your Majesty, I think you should know what happened in the palace a few days ago."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

King Zuo Wu asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, let me be frank. The emperor wants to deal with Lu Chen and has already trapped Zhuge Shenhou in the palace."

Cai Jing said with a smile.

"I have heard of Lu Chen. He is a martial arts genius, but it's a pity that I cannot use him."

King Zuo Wu shook his head. He had already investigated Lu Chen and found that it was difficult for him to use Lu Chen, so he gave up trying to win him over.

"The government has made all the necessary preparations to deal with Lu Chen, and is just waiting for him to fall into its trap."

Cai Jing said.

"Ah."

King Zuo Wu smiled slightly, "What the emperor wants to do can naturally be accomplished, but Prime Minister Cai did not come to me for this matter. You also know that I have never paid much attention to the affairs of the court, but I am quite interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes."

Upon hearing this, Cai Jing sneered in his heart. In order to ascend the throne, Prince Zuo Wu had tried hard to win over many ministers over the years and had placed many of his own people in the court. Even he himself had Prince Zuo Wu's spies around him.

Now, King Zuo Wu actually said that he didn't care much about the affairs of the court. He was treating him like a fool.

"Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity."

Cai Jing chuckled and reminded.

"Oh, the government wants to deal with Lu Chen, what does this have to do with me?"

King Zuo Wu was startled but asked calmly.

"If the prince wants to accomplish great things, he must get rid of one person, and now is the best opportunity to get rid of him. If this person is still here, the prince will not be able to achieve great things, and I am afraid that even the lives of his entire family will be in danger."

As Cai Jing spoke, he looked at King Zuo Wu's expression.

King Zuo Wu's expression changed. Of course he knew who Cai Jing was talking about.

Thinking back to those days, he had taken a fancy to Zhuge Shenhou's qualifications and wanted to win him over to serve him, and he had often spoken well of him in front of the late emperor.

However, he did not expect that Zhuge Shenhou was too loyal and seemed to have sensed his thoughts. Therefore, not only did he not surrender to him, but he also kept a close eye on him. This made him do things cautiously, and in the end he could only get a group of thirteen villains to help him.

Some time ago, he also discovered that Zhuge Shenhou's four disciples were still investigating him, which meant that he had realized that the thirteen villains were related to him.

In fact, he had long wanted to get rid of Zhuge Shenhou, but Zhuge Shenhou was very powerful and was trusted by the government, which made it difficult for him to do so.

King Zuo Wu certainly knew that Prime Minister Cai wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and Zhuge Shenhou had been secretly collecting evidence over the years in an attempt to bring down Cai Jing in one fell swoop.

"This prince and Mr. Zhuge hit it off right away, so why would I harm him?"

King Zuo Wu said calmly.

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Shenhou was poisoned by the Western Region's strange poison, the bone-eroding powder, and all his power disappeared. If he fails this time, there will be no such opportunity in the future."

At this point, Cai Jing stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have some important matters to deal with at home, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in King Zuo Wu's eyes. Cai Jing's reminder was correct. The existence of Zhuge Shenhou blocked his path to becoming an emperor.

Although Cai Jing was killing someone with a borrowed knife, King Zuo Wu had no choice but to do so.

If Zhuge Shenhou was in his prime, it would be very difficult for him to get rid of him.

But now Zhuge Shenhou has no power left. When Lu Chen comes to the capital and the palace masters go all out to deal with Lu Chen, he will be able to get rid of Zhuge Shenhou without making any noise and get rid of a powerful enemy.
