"Tuo, pull, wild!"

Xuanyuan Che squeezed out this name with complete disgust.

Still staring at the person on the pillar, he took a step back, turned around and waved his cloak: "Skin off her skin for me."

Someone rubbed her neck a few times, and the human leather mask was taken off. Behind the mask was a plain white face with no blood at all, except for the dark and shiny black pupils.

Isn't it the once famous second lady of the Tuoba family?

Tuoba Zhen, who came in a hurry, saw this scene, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees with a plop.

He first glared at Zhu Jiu fiercely, then kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare your life. Tuoba Ye's actions have nothing to do with the Tuoba family. The old minister has already severed ties with her. She is no longer a member of the Tuoba clan."

Xuanyuan Che let out a long, cold voice: "Really? Or does General Tuoba want to protect himself and deliberately distance himself from the relationship?"

Tuoba Zhen buried his head even lower: "What I said is true. This villain killed my wife and has been tolerated by the world for a long time. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can prove it with actual actions-"

After saying that, he stood up, quickly pulled out the long sword hanging on his armor, and pointed the sword energy towards Zhu Jiu: "Old minister, I will kill my relatives now and put away this evil obstacle for God."

The sword energy was so fierce that Tuoba was so cruel that he would kill her.

At the critical moment, there was a clang, and the refined long sword was blocked by a strong energy. Tuoba Zhen was also shocked by the strong energy and staggered back a few steps.

"His Majesty?"

Xuanyuan Che looked at him coldly and said in a serious tone: "I haven't finished the interrogation yet, so you are not allowed to take the lead in killing people. General Tuoba is so guilty. Could it be that he has other intentions?"

Tuoba Zhen became even more frightened and knelt down in front of Xuanyuan Che, kowtow several times: "Your Majesty is aware that I am loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to Xuanyuan."

Xuanyuan Che snorted coldly: "It's best this way."

His eyes moved to Zhu Jiu's face again. He frowned slightly, feeling very disgusted. He looked at her for a while and then said, "Lock her up."

Zhu Jiu's palms were so tight that they relaxed, and a faint smile appeared under his drooped head.

Success!

That kid was very suspicious and didn't understand everything thoroughly. How could he just let himself die like this?

But she didn't expect that Rongruo would betray her so quickly.

Sure enough, these powerful ministers must plan carefully for themselves when selling favors to others, and do so without leaving a single flaw.

On the dragon-patterned chariot, Xuanyuan Che sat in the center, holding a gold-painted porcelain jar in one hand and a rhopa in the other hand, carefully wiping the porcelain jar.

Luo Zheng reported outside the window: "As your Majesty expected, Tuoba Zhen secretly went to kill Tuoba Ye in the middle of the night. Fortunately, there was a secret attendant who prevented him from succeeding, but..."

After he hesitated for a moment, Luo Zheng said truthfully: "I think this old guy wanted to kill his daughter to protect himself because he was simply afraid of death. After the battle in Yancheng, my subordinates didn't notice that he had any second thoughts.

I don’t dare either.”

Xuanyuan Che sneered: "Whether he has second thoughts or not is not important. What is important is that Gu believes that he has second thoughts."

Luo Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xuanyuan Che stopped what he was doing and opened a gap in the window curtain: "Don't you understand?"

"I don't like him as a person, and I don't like the Tuoba clan either. I'll find an opportunity to deal with them all."

Cold sweat broke out on Luo Zheng's forehead, he nodded, bowed and retreated.

Since the new emperor was registered, many people who had questioned him have been eliminated. These people died tragic deaths, were imprisoned, and even implicated the nine tribes.

Although Tuoba Zhen was smart and expressed his sincerity early, he still could not get into the eyes of the new emperor.

The people in the temple saw through all this but did not say anything, for fear of angering the little tyrant and implicating themselves.

Xuanyuan Che patiently wiped the porcelain jar in his hand, as if wiping a treasured treasure. After wiping the inside and outside, he threw Luopa out of the window and rubbed the porcelain jar with his slender fingertips.

"Zhu Jiu." He murmured: "What does Tuoba Ye have to do with you..."

Shouldn't she be our enemy?

Why would I recognize her as you? Why does she know your horse-taming skills, and why can she easily draw the Moon Shadow Bow?

What exactly did you hide from me?

Within half a day, the army returning to the capital arrived at the gate of the capital. Rong Ruo and Xuanyuan's important officials lined up to welcome the return of the new emperor. The people in the city lined the streets to welcome him.

Rong Ruo was dressed in a purple official robe, tall and tall, and had a gentle and noble smile, but she had the oppressive feeling of a superior.

After giving the gift and saying a few words, Rong Ruo looked at the thing in Xuanyuan Che's hand in surprise, and half-taunted: "Your Majesty, what do you need to hold in person?"

Xuanyuan Che gave him a cold look and did not answer him: "While Gu is away, is there anyone who can't help but want to rebel?"

Rong Ruo smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is so majestic that no one has any thoughts of rebellion."

Xuanyuan Che nodded casually: "That's true, unless someone thinks he has lived too long."

Rong Ruo still smiled lightly, but glanced in the direction of Li Chunyue, and saw Li Chunyue mouthing a few words: Zhu Jiu's ashes.

This reminded Rongruo. He thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, Tuoba Ye broke into the military camp at night. I heard that you didn't kill her. Why?"

Xuanyuan Che twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at him with unclear meaning, and glanced back.

Someone immediately brought an iron cage forward, and the girl sat cross-legged in a corner of the iron cage. Her clothes were in tatters and barely covered her body. Dark red blood stains were all over her body. However, she didn't feel any pain and continued to meditate and rest.

Rong Ruo glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "They are all injured like this. Your Majesty doesn't find it disgusting to see him. Why don't you kill General Zhu Jiu to avenge him?"

Xuanyuan Che sneered: "Rong Ruo, she left the city under your nose, what can you say?"

Rong Ruo pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Your Majesty, to be honest, it was Tuoba Ye who kidnapped me out of the city. The reason why I didn't report it truthfully is because it would damage my reputation if I said it."

"Really?" Xuanyuan Che lowered his gaze and looked at the calm and composed girl in the cage: "You are quite capable, and you actually held an isolated first-class courtier hostage."

Zhu Jiu slowly opened his eyes, with a mocking smile in his dark eyes, he glanced at Xuanyuan Che and finally landed on Rong Ruo, and sincerely commented in five words: "Master Rong, brilliant."

Rong Ruo smiled and said: "Second Miss, you took me out of the city and killed my guards. I thought you escaped for your life, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and dare to go to the camp to cause trouble. In this case, no one can protect you.

"

After saying that, he shook his head regretfully.

These words were a disguised explanation for Xuanyuan Che and Zhu Jiu, telling Xuanyuan Che that he was helpless, and also telling Zhu Jiu that if you insist on seeking death, there is nothing I can do about it.

The smile in Zhu Jiu's eyes grew brighter. She looked at him for a moment and then slowly closed her eyes.

They are all people who work in the officialdom. She will not expose Rongruo's lies to her face. She also believes that Rongruo chose to help her out of favor. It's just that burning down the camp was too big. Rongruo chose to protect himself and betrayed her.

She can understand.

However, the words he said to save his life at the time seemed too cheap now.
