Chapter 41 Feeling confident
Xia Jiang, who calmed down in embarrassment, couldn't help but look at Zhou You beside Mei Changsu in shock and anger: "Who are you? You are so brave, you dare to break into our Xuanjing Department, who brought you in?"
"Who? Who am I? Couldn't Xia Shouzun guess it?" Zhou You, who helped Mei Changsu up, sneered, and then said: "Xia Shouzun was not slow in reacting. He guessed that someone brought me in.
Then guess again, who brought me in?"
"Yes..." Xia Jiang, who had a look on his face, subconsciously turned to look at Xia Dong, who had appeared outside the pavilion at some point. Just when he was about to speak, Zhou You had already appeared beside him again, and the sword in his hand also appeared.
Putting it on Xia Jiang's neck: "Congratulations, your guess was correct! Then do you know why the apprentice you trained with your own hands chose to betray him in the end?"
Seeing Xia Jiang's ugly face and silent expression, Zhou You continued: "Let me remind you that thirteen years ago, Xia Shouzun and Xie Yu did something together. When they did this, did they think of it?
Where is your apprentice, Mr. Xia Dong?"
"Do you want to kill me here?" Xia Jiang couldn't help but ask Zhou You when he saw Xia Dong's expression of pain, tears in his eyes, and his face as sinking as water.
Zhou You shook his head and smiled: "You are the leader of the Xuanjing Division, how dare I kill you? If I really kill you, I am afraid that like Wei Zheng, I will become a wanted rebel by the imperial court and truly be on the run.
.”
"Aren't you a rebel with Wei Zheng?" Xia Jiang, whose mouth twitched when he heard this, then asked with a sneer.
"Xia Shouzun, you must provide evidence when you speak," Zhou You said with a smile, and then said: "Oh, I forgot, Xia Shouzun, you are the best at creating evidence. You want to say that I am a rebel against the party or something?
Then of course I will. But unfortunately, you may not have the chance to tell the emperor that I am against the party."
When Xia Jiang heard this, his face changed slightly, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Master, my disciple begs you for the last time, please turn back! The way of heaven is in the heart! If you don't know how to repent, by the time you want to regret it, I'm afraid it will be too late!" Xia Dong suddenly knelt down and said to Xia Jiang with tears in his eyes.
At the same time, Xia Chun and Xia Qiu also rushed over with people. When they saw Xia Jiang being held hostage by Zhou You, their expressions suddenly changed, and they hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Let my master go!"
"Don't come here, otherwise I will have no choice but to kill him," Zhou You said calmly, pressing the sword in his hand towards Xia Jiang's neck, which immediately stopped Xia Chun and Xia Qiu from moving rashly.
Immediately afterwards, with the sound of hurried footsteps, Meng Zhi also came over with several imperial guards: "According to your majesty's oral instructions, I summon Master Xia Dong to the palace for an audience without any delay!"
Peng... Zhou You also took the opportunity to take action, beating Xia Jiang, whose expression changed and was about to speak, until he fainted to the ground, causing Xia Chun and Xia Qiu's expressions to change again, while Meng Zhi said directly to Xia Dong as if he hadn't seen him before: "Master Xia Dong
,please!"
"Commander Meng, this person broke into the Xuanjing Division and kidnapped my master..." Xia Chung just started, but Meng Zhi interrupted him: "That is your Xuanjing Division's matter and has nothing to do with me! I am here before
I came here just to summon Sir Xia Dong to see you at your Majesty’s command, and Your Majesty did not ask me to meddle in my own business.”
After saying that, Meng Zhi took Xia Dong and left directly. Seeing them leave, Xia Chun and Xia Qiu were a little surprised and confused. They turned to look at Zhou You with a smile on their faces and couldn't help saying hello.
, people surrounded the pavilion.
"I advise you not to be impatient! If you have any questions, let's wait until Xia Dong comes back! Otherwise, I can't guarantee Xia Jiang's safety and your lives." As he spoke, Zhou You took off the body-hugging straps on his back again.
There was a package, and after opening it, a thick paper tube connected together was revealed:
"Let me introduce to you, this is my special gunpowder cartridge. It is more than ten times more powerful than the commonly used black fire. Once detonated, no one within a few feet will be left intact. I think, Lord Xia Chun and Lord Xia Qiu
You shouldn’t be interested in giving it a try, right?”
"Don't move! Don't retreat. Stand still and don't move, otherwise I will remove one of his arms first," Zhou You pointed the sword in his hand at Xia Jiang's shoulder.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xia Qiu asked angrily upon seeing this.
Zhou You said calmly and casually: "I don't want to do anything, just to ensure the safety of our sect master. You guys should be honest, and we will be fine. Otherwise, if it's really a fight to the death, I still have the confidence to blow you up with this gunpowder barrel
, and I myself took the sect master and left safely."
"You can definitely take your sect leader away, why do you still want to stay here?" Xia Chun asked with a frown.
"Why did Sir Xia Chun forget? Xia Shouzun brought our sect master to trial, but it was His Majesty's will. If we just leave like this, wouldn't we be running away in fear of crime, and then even if we are innocent, we will become guilty," Zhou Youlian
road.
Xia Qiu shouted coldly: "You broke into the Xuanjing Division and held my master hostage. Do you think this crime is light? I advise you to let my master go quickly, otherwise..."
"Lord Xia Qiu, what's the point of saying these useless words?" Zhou You shook his head and sneered, and Xia Chun also said: "What's the point of delaying your time like this?"
"Of course, after His Majesty's decree to release our sect master comes down, I will naturally release the first master," Zhou Youye said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Xia Chun, who looked at Xia Qiu beside him, couldn't help but frown and said, "Will Your Majesty issue an order to release Mei Changsu?"
"Of course! Our sect leader is not guilty. Your Majesty will definitely find out. Maybe, if you call Xia Dong over this time, you will also ask about Xia Shouzun's crimes. Then it will be hard to say who is guilty," Zhou You said with a smile.
.
When Xia Chun and Xia Qiu heard this, seeing Zhou You's fearless appearance, they couldn't help but feel more and more alarmed and uneasy. However, Xia Jiang was in Zhou You's hands, and they were afraid to save people casually because Xia Jiang was in Zhou You's hands.
When Zhou You and Xia Chunxiaqiu were confronting each other, Mei Changsu had already walked aside and sat down to drink tea, looking even calmer and calmer, as if he was not in the dangerous Xuanjing Division, but in his own Su
Homelike.
In this confrontation, time passed quietly. I don’t know how long it took. Just when Xia Chun and Xia Qiu were a little impatient, and Xia Jiang, who had fainted, slowly woke up, suddenly a chaotic shout came from outside: "
The Holy One has decreed that the Xuanjing Division be sealed off!"
"What?" Hearing the noise outside, Xia Chun and Xia Qiu's expressions suddenly changed. Xia Jiang, who had just woken up on the ground, also changed his expression and was about to speak, but Zhou You stepped on his face and wanted to
I can't even speak.
"You two adults, you don't need to resist fearlessly, right? Otherwise, it will be tantamount to conspiring against the party. I'm afraid that the name of rebelling against the party will fall on your own heads," Zhou You said with a chuckle.
Xia Chun and Xia Qiu, whose expressions changed after hearing this, were also completely confused. Xia Jiang, who was walking around, even said vaguely: "No...impossible..."
"Master!" Xia Chun, who shouted eagerly when he saw this, couldn't help shouting: "Let me go, Master!"
"What does it matter if I let him go or not?" Zhou You shook his head and smiled. When he saw Meng Zhi rushing in with others, he couldn't help but said: "Commander Meng, the traitor Xia Jiang is here. I have helped you catch him.
