Around Unity Time, the sky was gradually darkening. On the street in front of Prince Su's Mansion, there was a rush of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of armor shaking, gradually approaching from far away.

They were two teams of fully armed guards, one coming from the east side of the street and the other coming from the west side of the street. They happened to meet in front of the gate of Prince Su's Mansion.

The leader was none other than Prince Hongyu’s Zongwei Chief Zhou Yue.

I saw Zhou Yue looking at the closed door of Prince Su's Mansion in front of him with a complicated expression, sighing secretly.

At the same time, in a row of low buildings diagonally behind Zhou Yue, a second-floor window was slightly opened. Behind that window, the leader of the Blue Crows, Ya Wu, and several of his subordinates were looking at him with frowns.

The street is full of guards below.

"Fifth brother, something is wrong. Why are there so many guards? Is the prince trying to harm His Highness?"

Behind Ya Wu, a member of the Blue Crows said with an ugly expression, and even proposed to quickly summon all the Green Crows in the city.

Seeing this, Ya Wu waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't be impatient. Your Highness will be fine... Let's see what these people want to do first."

Ya Wu was not anxious at all, because he did not believe that Prince Hongyu really dared to be cruel to their Royal Highness, Prince Su.

Su Wang Zhao Run, who is that character?

He was not only a hero of the Wei State, but also the son-in-law of the King of Qin and the brother-in-law of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Chu Yangcheng. How could Prince Hongyu dare to seriously harm the former?

If Prince Hongyu really dares to do this, then his crown prince will also be sitting on the throne. I believe that before long, Qin and Chu will definitely raise troops to attack - so, as long as Prince Hongyu is not crazy, he will never

If he would harm King Su Zhao Run, he would be under house arrest at most.

"In short, we must not act rashly before His Highness sends the signal."

Afraid that his followers would secretly contact his companions behind his back, Ya Wu warned in a deep voice.

Hearing this, several of the Green Crows behind Yawu had no choice but to suppress their anxiety.

At this time, a call sounded from the street below: "Lord Zong Weichang."

Following this soft call, the two guards commanders quickly walked towards Zhou Yue who was standing in front of Prince Su's Mansion. After approaching, one of them clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zong Weichang, we have blocked the entire street as ordered.

.”

This person was Cao Pu, one of the eight former imperial guards who had defected to Prince Hongyu.

As soon as he finished speaking, another commander of the imperial guards also clasped his fists and said: "My side is also sealed."

This other guard commander was Shi Zhao, whom Zhao Hongrun had met several times in the past two days.

Zhou Yue nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to feel something and subconsciously looked back at the row of low buildings across the street behind him.

At the same time, Ya Wu also noticed Zhou Yue's movements and subconsciously stepped aside.

"You're so perceptive..."

While muttering to himself, Yawu quietly closed the window, waved his hand and lowered his voice and told the few Qingyas in the room: "We have been discovered, retreat."

At this time, Zhou Yue was still staring at one of the second-floor windows in the row of short buildings.

Just now, he seemed to vaguely see a figure passing by - it was a man wearing gray cloth.

"Blue crow?"

Zhou Yue said secretly.

Seeing Zhou Yue looking at the row of low buildings, Cao Pu, the commander of the imperial guards, seemed to have realized something. He beckoned several imperial guards and pointed at the short buildings not far away.

The imperial guards understood, nodded and were about to leave, but were stopped by Zhou Yue, the chief of the Zong's Guards: "There's no need to go... It's useless to pursue them."

Indeed, even if we catch up with those Green Crows and catch them, what will happen? Is it really true that they were killed with one sword? Will Su Wang Zhao Hongrun be resentful for no reason?

Therefore, there is no point in chasing after him.

"Call the door." He raised his hand and pointed at Prince Su's Mansion in front of him. Zhou Yue immediately warned: "Remember, don't hurt anyone."

"Yes!" Cao Pu and Shi Zhao accepted the order with clasped fists, and then they walked up the steps in front of the palace together. During this period, Shi Zhao grabbed the knocker on the door and knocked loudly.

After knocking seven or eight times, an impatient voice came from inside the door: "Who is it?"

After a while, a Su Wang guard opened the door with an impatient expression, stretched out half of his head and took a look outside.

And when he saw that the street outside the mansion was filled with dense guards, his expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously wanted to close the door. Unfortunately, Cao Pu, the commander of the guards, got there first and pushed the door open with all his strength.

, and immediately, the guards behind him rushed in.

"This is Prince Su's Mansion, what are you going to do?!"

After the King Su guard was knocked away, he subconsciously wanted to take out the sword from his waist, but unfortunately he was held back by the guards.

The noise at the gate of the mansion alerted the Su Wang guards in the front yard. They shouted "What happened to Lao Li?" and ran towards the gate of the mansion. When they saw their companion Lao Li being killed by several guards,

When the guards were restrained and a steady stream of guards came in, the expression of one of King Su's guards suddenly changed and he shouted: "Report to Your Highness quickly!"

Upon hearing this, one of the Su Wang guards turned around and ran towards the depths of the mansion.

At the same time, in the study room of the palace, Zhao Hongrun was lying on the rocking chair, with his eyes closed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, several clan guards came to the study with packages. The leader of the clan guards, Wei Jiao, saw that His Highness seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, so he signaled in a low voice: "Your Highness, everything has been packed away."

Zhao Hongrun opened his eyes after hearing this and asked casually: "Where is Madam?"

"I'll urge you again," Mu Qing said, then turned and walked outside the house.

But before he had gone far, he saw a member of Prince Su's Mansion running towards this side with a worried look on his face, shouting as he ran: "The guards... the guards have rushed into the palace!"

"What?" Mu Qing's expression changed upon hearing this, and he was about to ask in detail when his eyes suddenly changed slightly.

Because after seeing the Su Wang guard, a group of unfamiliar guards also rushed here quickly. In just a few blinks, they rushed in front of them.

"..." Mu Qing calmly took two steps back, blocking the study door with his body, and then shouted in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

At this time, Zhao Hongrun, who heard the noise in the study, slowly came to the threshold under the protection of Wei Jiao, Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao. When he saw the guards outside the study who were still increasing in number,

, Gao Kuo sighed quietly.

"Are you serious... sending troops to put me under house arrest?"

A hint of disappointment flashed through Zhao Hongrun's eyes without leaving any trace.

Immediately, he gently pushed away Wei Jiao who was standing in front of him, stepped out of the study, looked at the guards who were only one foot away, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is your chief?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Hongyu's Zongwei Chief Zhou Yue walked quickly from a distance. Seeing this person, Zhao Hongrun understood in his heart.

"Chief Zhou Zongwei." Zhao Hongrun greeted him expressionlessly.

Zhou Yue breathed out secretly, walked to Zhao Hongrun bravely, and said with a dry smile: "Zhou Yue, pay homage to His Highness Prince Su."

Zhao Hongrun glanced around at the guards around him, then turned his attention to Zhou Yue, and said with a sneer: "Chief Zhou Zongwei, what do you mean?"

Zhou Yue opened her mouth, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was not interested in talking to him and said calmly: "It's pointless to tell you. Zhou Yue, send someone to invite the prince. I want to ask him face to face about some things." After that, he

He took a deep look at Zhou Yue and added: "This afternoon, I have been waiting in the palace for several hours. I have fulfilled my duty as a minister, which is truly the most benevolent and righteous... If the prince still refuses to come this time

To meet this king, then..."

He didn't say any more, but he believed Zhou Yue understood what he meant.

"His Royal Highness Prince Su." Zhou Yue cupped her hands towards Zhao Hongrun and whispered: "In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on his way here."

"..." Zhao Hongrun nodded, turning a blind eye to the guards around him, walked back to the study, and said lightly: "I'll wait for him in the study."

Seeing Zhao Hongrun and several clan guards returning to the study, Zhou Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to the surrounding guards and said: "Go, guard the passages in the house, and send away the idlers. Remember, don't hurt anyone, don't collide.

The female relatives in the house."

"yes!"

The guards clasped their fists in response.

About a full time after burning incense, a carriage stopped in front of Prince Su's Mansion.

Immediately, Prince Hongyu and his staff Zhang Qigong walked out of the carriage.

After seeing that both the inside and outside of Prince Su's palace were controlled by the imperial guards, a dark and obscure color flashed in Prince Hongyu's eyes.

But after taking a deep breath, he recovered as before.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Shi Zhao, the commander of the imperial guards who was waiting at the gate of the palace, quickly came up to him, clasped his fists and said, "The entire palace has been surrounded... and protected by my imperial guards."

"Hmm." Prince Hongyu nodded and asked casually: "Where is Prince Su?"

"In the study room of the mansion." Shi Zhao replied.

After hearing this, Prince Hongyu didn't ask any more questions, and took Zhang Qigong directly to the study room in the mansion.

After a while, he arrived outside Zhao Hongrun's study.

Seeing His Royal Highness coming, Zhou Yue, the Chief of Zongwei, immediately came up to greet him and signaled in a low voice: "Your Highness, Prince Su is waiting in the study."

Prince Hongyu nodded and walked towards the study. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Hongrun sitting in the rocking chair with his eyes closed, as if unmoved by the current crisis.

"cough!"

Prince Hongyu deliberately stood at the door and coughed.
