Chapter 585: Bringing Back the Witnesses Safely
Xuanyuan Jue looked at Baoqing's woman and those people on the other side, and wanted to go down to help, but thinking of Baoqing's advice to him, if he went to help, Zhao Jun would be alone, and if he was caught alive by those black-clothed people, it would be a failure.
"Don't worry, we won't let you have an accident." Xuanyuan Jue asked Zhao Jun to hide behind him, holding a sword in his hand to protect him.
Those who originally attacked Baoqing saw Zhao Jun, and several people attacked Zhao Jun's side. Xuanyuan Jue saw that the situation was not right, and immediately got down from his horse to stop those people.
Baoqing also found out about the situation here, and wanted to go over to help, but he was tripped by those people, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Although Xuanyuan Jue knows martial arts, he is not as powerful as Baoqing after all, and he is a little powerless with his outnumbered enemies, and he sees that Zhao Jun is in danger.
Baoqing saw that the situation was not right, and flew over with a few jumps, and at the moment when one of them was about to stab Zhao Jun with a long sword, Baoqing immediately blocked it with his sword.
"Are you alright?" Baoqing quickly glanced at Zhao Jun and saw that he was not injured at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately blocked in front of him to resist those dangers.
Just when Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing were about to hold on, Xuanyuan Jue's entourage immediately rushed over, and the situation was reversed at once.
Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing immediately came to Zhao Jun's side and asked worriedly, "Are you injured?" ”
"I'm fine!" Zhao Jun, who had calmed down, shook his head calmly, looked at the group of black-clothed people and asked curiously, "Who are they?" Why kill me? ”
"Can't you see it? Someone wants to stop you from saving Murong Xijie. Xuanyuan Jue's tone was a little angry, if it wasn't for his entourage today, even if he arrived, if it wasn't for Baoqing who had been holding on, he and Zhao Jun might have died a long time ago.
"Then do you know who wants to harm Vice General Murong?" Zhao Jun asked worriedly, "How can anyone want to deal with the people of Murong Mansion?" ”
"It's a long story, let's go all the way and I'll explain it to you along the way." Baoqing said a little anxiously. Although the danger is now surviving, if you don't return to the capital for a day, you don't know what will happen along the way.
Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing left first with Zhao Jun. The retinue stayed behind to deal with the men in black. However, after the men in black saw that their purpose had gone, there was no need to stay, so they also disappeared and left. It didn't take long for the entourage to catch up with Xuanyuan Jue and them, and escorted them back to the capital safely along the way.
Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing brought Zhao Jun to the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and at this time in the capital, Xuanyuan Jue felt that no one would be safer than the Nine Emperors' Mansion.
"Eighth Prince, I heard you found someone." Murong Xuanji hurriedly rushed into the hall, in addition to Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing, there was also a strange man, Murong Xuanji walked up to Zhao Jun and looked up and down and asked, "Are you the one who can prove my second brother's innocence?" ”
Facing Murong Xuanji's questioning, Zhao Jun nodded calmly and said: "Yes, I have already heard about Vice General Murong and Miss Baoqing, and those things are fundamentally the opposite, Vice General Murong did not use military law to punish me, but helped me." Zhao Jun said with a serious face.
Hearing Zhao Jun say this, Murong Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief happily, nodded and said: "You have worked hard along the way, I will let Baoqing take you down to rest first, and tomorrow the Eighth Prince will take you into the palace, I hope you can tell the truth in the main hall at that time." ”
"Don't worry, the Nine Emperor Princesses, I will definitely tell the truth of the matter and rescue Vice General Murong." Zhao Jun said firmly.
After Zhao Jun and Baoqing left, Murong Xuanji said to Xuanyuan Jue gratefully: "The great kindness of the Eighth Prince, Xuanji remembers, he will definitely return it if he has the opportunity one day." ”
"The Nine Emperor Princesses are polite." Xuanyuan Jue just smiled faintly, looking at Murong Xuanji who was a little thinner and haggard than before, and asked with concern: "How is the condition of the Nine Emperor Brothers, haven't you found any antidote yet?" ”
Murong Xuanji shook her head helplessly, "I sent people to the other three countries, but there has been no news. Even Leng Fengran Leng Gongzi went to the Western Qi Kingdom in person, but he didn't find any antidote. ”
Xuanyuan Jue sighed slightly, for a while, he didn't have any good ways, and there was nothing he could do to help, so he lowered his head with some self-blame.
"The eighth prince doesn't have to feel guilty, you have already helped us a lot, I forgot to tell you, the third brother has been released from prison." Murong Xuanji saw Xuanyuan Jue's self-reproachful appearance, and opened his mouth to comfort. "If it weren't for the Eighth Prince's help this time, the third brother wouldn't have been released so quickly. Wait until tomorrow when Zhao Jun tells the truth in the main hall, I believe that the second brother will be released soon. ”
"Then is your third brother in Murong Mansion now? Did the Emperor reinstate him? Xuanyuan Jue asked Murong Xuanji.
Murong Xuanji nodded, "On the day of his release, the emperor restored his official position, and he has already returned to live in the mansion, but I asked him not to tell my eldest mother about the Nine Emperor Princes, so as not to worry them." ”
"Your second brother's business has been almost done, and I believe that he will be released from prison soon, and the only difficult thing is your eldest brother and father. Your eldest brother was framed for using his official position to achieve personal goals, and your father was also framed for using war and embezzlement. Xuanyuan Jue said with a frown.
"I know all this, but I still believe that they are innocent, and there will be evidence to prove their innocence." Murong Xuanji said firmly.
"Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, I will rescue them." Xuanyuan Jue said reassuringly: "I can't help the Nine Emperor Brothers find the antidote, at least I can do something to help him and help Murong Mansion." ”
"If my husband can wake up, I will be very grateful." Murong Xuanji said sadly: "The Eighth Prince has also worked hard these days, I won't keep you anymore, you go back and rest early." ”
Xuanyuan Jue originally planned to visit Xuanyuan Hao, but it was indeed not too early to see the time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see the Nine Emperor Brothers after tomorrow." ”
On the second day of the main hall, the emperor said unhappily as soon as he went to the palace: "Eighth prince, where have you been these days?" Why didn't you even go to the early dynasty, did you take this emperor too seriously. ”
"Father's forgiveness, my son's ministers have not been to the early court for the past few days, and there is a very important thing to do." Xuanyuan Jue said unhurriedly.
"Oh? What exactly do you need to do yourself? The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue with some surprise, and asked curiously. Not only was the emperor curious, but even the other people in the hall were curious.
Xuanyuan Jue glanced at everyone one by one, stayed on Xuanyuan Mo's body for a while, and found that he kept his head down and couldn't see the expression on his face, so Xuanyuan Jue looked away and finally looked at the emperor.
"Father, today's sons want to bring someone to the palace, this person can prove that Murong Xijie was wronged in the chaos of military law in the army." Xuanyuan Jue said seriously.
A hint of displeasure flashed on the emperor's face, but he still calmly asked, "Could it be that you disappeared in the past few days just to find this person to prove Murong Xijie's innocence?" ”
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Jue nodded and admitted without thinking about it, took out a book from his arms and handed it forward: "Vice General Murong has always been very popular in the camp, many soldiers are very obedient to him, many people know that he has to write a letter of love after being put in prison, Erchen collected their signatures, and found witnesses to prove that Vice General Murong is not the kind of person who will abuse military law to kill soldiers. ”
The emperor didn't look at the book, but looked at Xuanyuan Jue coldly, without any expression on his face, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking at this time. The other ministers didn't dare to say much when they saw the emperor like this, and the huge hall was silent at this time.
"Then you can bring someone up for me to see." After a long time, the emperor said coldly.
Xuanyuan Jue didn't care if he would annoy the emperor by doing so, and immediately ordered someone to take Zhao Jun to the main hall.
"Grass, grass people Zhao Jun kowtow to the emperor and say goodbye." This is the first time Zhao Jun has come to the palace hall, and it is also the first time he has seen the emperor, so he is inevitably nervous and scared, and he stammers when he says it.
"Raise your head and show me." The emperor opened his mouth majestically, and saw Zhao Jun slowly raise his head and continued: "I heard that you can prove Murong Xijie's innocence, so I want to listen to your explanation, what is the truth of the matter?" ”
"Yes"! Zhao Jun swallowed the saliva in his mouth, glanced at Xuanyuan Jue before he opened his mouth and said to the emperor: "The grass people heard from the eighth prince that Vice Admiral Murong was wronged by others for using military law in the army and mutilating soldiers, and the soldier who was mutilated in other people's mouths was the grass people, so the grass people were willing to come out to clarify the facts for Murong Xijie." ”
"I saw you limping when you walked in, didn't your leg cripple after you became a soldier?" The emperor asked.
"It is true that the grass people's legs were crippled after becoming a soldier, but this matter has nothing to do with Vice General Murong." Zhao Jun slowly calmed down, looked at the emperor and said with a serious expression: "Caomin went to serve as a soldier in his early years because of his poor family, he was originally just a small soldier, and later he performed well in several battles and was favored by Deputy General Murong, and since then he has been working by Vice General Murong's side. And the grass people slowly became a little arrogant, thinking that they were very remarkable, just-" Zhao Jun was a little embarrassed to say the words later, so he knelt there with his head down, and waited until his emotions were slowly sorted out before he spoke.
