Sheng Changan slightly bent her index finger, her expression unchanged. She had already guessed who was behind the scenes at that time, and now it was just confirmed.

Feng Ze said in a subtle tone, "Your Majesty did not expect there would be such a surprise force. It's really unexpected!"

Just looking at the muscles of these two people, he seemed to be able to feel the earth shaking with every step he took, which showed that this person must be extremely strong.

But such a person should not be unknown in the capital, so there is only one reason, that is, someone is deliberately hiding him. It seems that the emperor is also a master who is hiding his true abilities.

"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things, such as the explosives in Lord Sheng's hands." Liu Zhao brought the topic back to Sheng Changan with just one sentence.

"Is it possible that Lord Sheng intends to go back on the terms we agreed upon?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice low and threatening.

"I just want to live. Since the emperor won't make this promise, I can only ask for it myself." Sheng Changan said these two words naturally without any reluctance.

Feng Ze raised his eyes slightly. He knew clearly that Liu Zhao was a traitor, but he could still call out these two words indifferently. He was really adaptable. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes moved.

What a pity. If I were still young, I would probably want to give it a try, but now I can only seek stability in troubled times. It would be great if I could help the Feng family move to a higher level.

If not, the natural thing is to stabilize the Feng family's position.

Liu Zhao's brows relaxed slightly. He knew Sheng Changan's evil intentions, but being able to let such a person call himself a minister made him happy, regardless of whether it was his intention or not.

"What are you talking about, Lord Sheng? I'm not one to kill innocent people. As long as you show enough sincerity, I can spare your life."

It sounds generous enough, but both sides know very well how much credibility a man who is plotting to usurp the throne can have.

"I can give the emperor what he wants, but I have to wait until we return to Guangping. If the emperor is worried, he can send someone to accompany me on the journey," Sheng Changan said calmly.

Liu Zhao frowned inadvertently. Sheng Changan didn't even bargain with his excessive request. Could there be some problem?

Sheng Changan sat firmly in his seat, allowing Liu Zhao to look at him, and even leisurely drank a cup of tea.

"Okay, I'll write this as proof," Liu Zhao finally agreed. "But not Guangping. I'll send someone to escort Lord Sheng to Yunfeng. I hope Lord Sheng will fulfill his promise."

"It's a deal." Sheng Changan signed his name on the paper readily.

The four great families watching looked at each other. They didn't believe that Sheng Changan would be let off so easily. Although Liu Zhao was not very old, he was famous for his cruelty.

Although they knew that there was definitely something fishy about the paper, they just kept silent. For the aristocratic families, it didn't matter who sat in that position.

But if someone like Sheng Changan, who wanted to be an enemy of the aristocratic family, hadn't coveted what she had, she wouldn't know how many times she would have died.

Compared with Sheng Changan, although Liu Zhao is a little ruthless, he will not shake their position. In this way, it is very obvious who to choose.

Even the Feng family, the head of the four major families, tacitly agreed to this matter, so of course no one else would be the first to speak out.

For various reasons, this agreement, which could be abandoned at any time, was made.

"Your Majesty, you must not let the tiger go back to the mountain." The person who spoke was the one who proposed to put all the blame on Sheng Changan last time.

"Don't worry, sir. I will never make such a mistake, but I must have that explosives. Moreover, my elder brother is still in her hands." How could Liu Zhao not know this?

But the power of explosives is really strong. If he gets it, who in the world can resist him? Even those aristocratic families will have to hide.

Seeing that Liu Zhao had made up his mind, he finally stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone knew the power of explosives, but would Sheng Changan really take it out so easily?

"Sir," Li Hui looked inconspicuously at the soldiers who surrounded them. It was more like they were ready to attack at any time than to protect them. She stood firmly beside Sheng Changan, her whole body tense.

"It will be fine for now." Sheng Changan looked forward. The battle would begin when they reached Yunfeng.

Xu Qing stood silently behind Sheng Changan, his face pale but his eyes sparkling. What kind of insect could it be that could control so many people?

There are nearly a thousand people weighing several hundred kilograms. I'm afraid there are still such people who have not appeared. With such a tonnage, their food intake is still at the level of normal people. How can he not be curious?
