Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"How could this happen? What about the late emperor?" Xihu had just been taken over by Zhao Tongqi, how could such a thing happen?

Moreover, why didn’t these neighboring monarchs receive the news of Xihu’s change of power?

"Master, please don't worry. I discovered many things along the way..."

Chu Ling told him all the information he got from Xi Hu.

After hearing this, Chu Weian felt a tightness in his chest.

He placed his large palm on his heart and said in disbelief, "Dead?"

"Yes, it's not just Zhao Tongqi. Other noble families have also been destroyed. Moreover, Xihu is now strictly investigating outsiders. The reason why the news of the new emperor's enthronement has not been leaked at all is because Yeerqi issued an order, saying that Xihu has spies from other countries and they must investigate them strictly."

After hearing this, Chu Weian slumped down on the stool as if all his strength had been lost.

The body began to shake.

Seeing this, Chu Ling quickly stood up and supported him. "Master, you can't fall down now. Uncle Zhao's death was clearly premeditated. Yeerqi could not have done it alone. You should think carefully about whether there is anything we haven't considered."

"Oh, and, Master, you and your subordinates mentioned before that Prince Qin provoked the forces of Uncle Zhao in Xihuduojia. Those forces were destroyed shortly after Prince Qin left. Do you think there is a connection between them?"

Chu Weian's uneasy heart gradually calmed down because of his words. He gently calmed himself down, and after calming down, he pointed to the stool next to him and motioned Chu Ling to sit back.

He remained silent.

He recalled Chu Ling's words over and over again in his mind, and asked again and again when he encountered any unclear details.

An hour later, Chu Weian suddenly stood up and said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "I understand. Those people in the north must have contributed to this."

Chu Ling was confused.

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Chu Weian briefly analyzed the situation with him. "Do you remember Northern Frontier? The Sixth Prince's death was attributed to the people of Northern City. Also, I remember Qin Zihao appeared in Liang Province before, and the people we sent out also suddenly disappeared in Liang Province. Even if we can't find any clues, it's not difficult to imagine that Liang Province is so close to the Northland. If they didn't have their hand in this, I don't believe it."

"So, Master, you mean that Qin Zihao has long been colluding with those people in North City? But... the master is not him..."

Chu Weian sneered, "Oh, what's a father? He'll give up anything for his own benefit. I'm like that, Zhao Tongqi is like that, and even what Old Six did that day was out of his own self-interest. So, don't you think Qin Zihao has other thoughts? Don't forget, we all have the same blood flowing through our bodies."

Just like Qin Zhaohai, selfish blood.

But they are different from him. He only cares about sowing seeds and forgets that they are also flesh and blood people. As long as they are human, they will inevitably have disloyalty.

Who would be willing to be a puppet for the rest of their life?

"So what should we do next? Should we tell the master about Prince Qin's situation?"

Chu Weian shook his head slightly. "No, since he wants to die, let him do it. We just need to protect the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As long as it doesn't affect us, why should we get involved in the affairs between father and son? Now that Zhao Tongqi is dead and Lao Liu is dead, I only have Qin Zihao and I left. I think if he knew that Qin Zihao had betrayed me, he would definitely not let him go. It's a pity that this matter cannot be revealed from us."

"Otherwise, with my father's suspicious nature, he will definitely suspect that I am interfering. Even if I have a hundred mouths, I won't be able to explain myself."

Chu Ling understood.

Then he asked, "Should we continue to detain Qin Zihao?"

Chu Weian shook his head. "No rush. Let's wait for a while. If it's true as we suspect, that he and Beicheng have been colluding for a long time, they will probably have received the news of Qin Zihao's disappearance. Then we can see if there's anything we can do to use him. If we can use him to our advantage besides those people in Beicheng, it would be a blessing."

He had a beautiful idea, but unfortunately, he overestimated himself in the end.

He thought he had calculated everything long ago, but unfortunately, while he was waiting for news, the person he wanted to plot against had already arrived in the city.

In the following days, the capital city remained calm.

Ten days later, he finally couldn't stand the pressure from all sides and relaxed his control over the capital.

When Leng Chengfeng brought back the news, Leng Youran and the others first smiled knowingly, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Tianze, let's go to the villa now."

Li Tianze didn't ask any more questions and followed her out of the capital.

When they were halfway there, they were met by the secret guards they had left in the villa.

The man saw the two and immediately ran to land in front of them, clasping his fists and saying, "Master, Madam, many people suddenly appeared at the villa and wanted to take Qin Zihao away. The boss is leading people to fight them."

"Let's go." Li Tianze waved his long arm, took Leng Youran in his arms and took a step forward.

When they arrived, Li Yi and the other secret guards who stayed behind were already engaged in a fierce fight with a group of people in blue robes.

Leng Youran's gaze swept across the crowd.

Seeing that Li Yi and the others were not at a disadvantage, he did not rush to take action.

Seeing that she had no intention of taking action, Li Tianze held her in his arms and hid in a high place.

"Do you want Li Yi and the others to stretch their muscles first?"

Leng Youran shook his head slightly, "No, I didn't find Qin Zihao."

After hearing what she said, Li Tianze also looked down. He searched among the crowd and indeed did not see Qin Zihao.

"Are we late?"

Leng Youran didn't say anything, with his eyes closed, and carefully scanned the mountains surrounding the villa.

"Walk..."

As Leng Youran's voice fell, his figure disappeared.

On a winding mountain path, a dozen people were carrying the unconscious Qin Zihao quickly down the mountain.

From time to time, he looked back in the direction of the villa.

"Damn, what bad luck! How come so many unfamiliar masters suddenly appear near the villa?" The person running in the front couldn't help but curse.

"Stop talking nonsense. These people must be the ones the master has been waiting for. Let's go down the mountain quickly and inform the master." The leading man said unhappily.

Their original intention was to take Qin Zihao away and send him out of the capital quietly, but they didn't expect that a group of Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway.

Fortunately, their master's plan did work. I believe that as long as Qin Zihao is still in their hands, those people will definitely show up again.

The master's plan then...

Thinking of this, I quickened my pace.
