There was the smell of rotten dead grass in his nostrils, the air was moist, and the stone walls on either side were always damp - but there was no moss.

The light was very dim, but Guo Huai was used to this kind of dimness, so he could also see the surrounding scene.

This is the prison in Quyang County.

Guo Huai had a heavy iron chain in his hands - with his status, even if he was locked up in a prison in Yingdu, he didn't need chains on his body...... It may be that the officials under Xiong Wuliang's command were negligent. This is normal, after all, they are all young people who have just joined the workforce, and their lack of experience is reasonable.

Guo Huai let out a long sigh.

The Assassins were indeed from the Guo family...... But Guo Huai couldn't figure out how the assassins could miss, let alone how they would be captured after they missed, and even more so why these dead soldiers confessed to the Guo family after they were captured......

Even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of it - Xiong Wuliang had the Green Feather Guard and the Black Feather Guard under his command, and it was amazing to arrest and interrogate people.

Guo Huai's original intention was to give Xiong Wuliang a little color.

Even if they didn't succeed in assassinating Qu Yuan and Huang Xie, it would be enough to scare them—maybe they would make these hateful reformers cast a mouse trap in the next decree and make them a little lighter......

But now, the assassin missed, and the most fatal thing was that the dead man actually confessed that Guo was the mastermind behind the scenes......

Thinking about those wolf-like soldiers who rushed into the Guo clan, Guo Huai closed his eyes in pain!

No! There's still a chance!

Guo Ziyu! He is a high-ranking official of Da Chu, and he will definitely not sit idly by and watch the family collapse!

If Guo Yu goes all out, maybe he can persuade Xiong Wuliang...... At the very least, it can save the lives of the Guo family.

……

Yingdu, Ling Yinfu.

Guo Ziyu is like a headless fly, his former calmness is completely gone, and he is no longer the original image of a ruthless court who decides life and death with one word.

"Ling Yin! Save me! ”

Zhao Ju was also dumbfounded—he never imagined that Xiong Wuliang would rely on a 'Quyang Academy' to reverse the defeat and come back to life.

Unexpectedly, the Guo clan actually sent assassins...... The Assassin was also captured by mistake, and in turn confessed to being the mastermind behind the scenes......

What an outrageous operation this is!

"Ling Yin saves my Guo family, Guo Yu is willing to serve the dogs and horses!" Guo Ziyu was sweating profusely and begging bitterly.

Zhao Ju pondered for a moment - if the Guo clan was destroyed, then Guo Ziyu would definitely step down...... Do you think he sat in this position on his own? Nonsense, if you want to be a high-ranking official in our Chu State, the only determining factor is whether the forces behind it are strong.

The Guo clan is the biggest powerful in the north of Huaishui, and its strength is also ranked in the top eight among the countless clans in the entire Chu State...... Therefore, Guo Ziyu can become the real power of the court.

Zhao Ju also didn't want to lose such a powerful henchman.

Surely it must be saved!

"For the sake of today, it is useless for the old man to speak...... There is only one person who can persuade Xiong Wuliang! ”

"Prince! Go and ask the prince to intercede! ”

……

Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Ju and Guo Ziyu sat at the bottom of the hand, and the prince sat on the main seat - Mi Heng was very confused now! These two powerful ministers, how can they have the leisure to come to me today?

Zhao Ju coughed lightly: "Prince, I'll wait for help......

Then, Zhao Ju elaborated on the confrontation between the Guo family and Xiong Wuliang, as well as the current tragic situation.

Of course, it is also inevitable to avoid the real and the false.

Zhao Ju never mentioned that the Guo clan instigated more than a dozen major clans to join forces to carry out a strike, but only emphasized how aggressive Xiong Wuliang and Qu Yuan were, and hurt the interests and feelings of the Guo clan, a heroic family, on the way to change the law......

How sad and miserable the Guo family is, but they are powerless under Xiong Wuliang's obscenity.

In the end, Guo Huai sent assassins on impulse when his family was ruined...... Ah No, send a swordsman, wanting to 'persuade' Xiong Wuliang to stop.

gave the prince Mi Heng, a stunned man, stunned for a while.

"My brother Wang has always been kind-hearted, how can he be such a powerful and bullying person?" Mi Heng was skeptical.

Zhao Ju let out a long sigh, meaningful: "People, they all change!" ”

"Quyang Hou has made great contributions repeatedly, and he feels that he has made outstanding contributions! The minister once heard such a story - the Marquis of Quyang heard in the fiefdom that 'some people in Yingdu said that the prince was abolished and the Marquis of Quyang was supported as the prince', and he laughed and said, "It's not impossible", and sent people to clamorate that 'the prince is not as good as the Marquis of Quyang' Yunyun......"

His eyes bulged and he opened his mouth and stammered.

This is his deepest heart disease, but at this moment, it was unreservedly exposed by Zhaoju.

"Of course...... Quyang Hou may not be resentful...... But it is an indisputable fact that he has relied on his achievements in war and his temperament has become more and more domineering. Zhao Ju added sinisterly.

Guo Ziyu got up, bowed deeply to the prince, and wept bitterly-

"Prince! O Prince! ”

"My Guo clan has made meritorious contributions to the Great Chu Society, and for hundreds of years, I have abided by the laws of Chu and firmly maintained the prestige of the Great Chu royal family......"

"Today...... Now I haven't made any mistakes, but I'm going to face the disaster of the Yi tribe! ”

"What is the reason of heaven! How can there be heavenly reason! ”

……

Zhao Ju struck while the iron was hot again, and said earnestly: "The old minister of Fang Cai said inappropriately, please forgive the prince." ”

"Prince, please rest assured - we have always wholeheartedly supported you as the crown prince, and whoever dares to do anything to abolish the establishment will sacrifice his life to defend it! Defend the country! ”

"It's just...... After you succeed to the throne, you must not do anything to change the law...... You've seen it too—it's really hurtful to change the law! Zhao Ju's words were conclusive, his words were sincere, and he almost burst into tears.

Guo Ziyu added: "Prince Mingjian-although the brother sent a swordsman, he only wanted to blackmail Xiong Wuliang to change his course under grief and anger, and he had no intention of taking people's lives. ”

The crown prince nodded at a loss, then looked at Guo Ziyu and said, "Tingli doesn't need to be sad - from the perspective of this prince, there are many misunderstandings in this matter, maybe Brother Wang is a little heavier." ”

"The matter of changing the law is also a mistake in Brother Wang's consideration, which hurts the Guo family."

"This prince will send someone to join hands in a letter to persuade Quyang Hou to release the Guo clansmen, and at the same time stop this inexplicable change and restore everything to normal!"

……

Guo Ziyu was so overjoyed that he fell to the ground and kowtowed to Mi Heng again and again: "The prince is wise!" The prince is benevolent! ”

Zhao Ju also agreed: "It's extreme! Yes, extremely! This change harms the descendants of meritorious heroes! It is tantamount to self-destructing the dry city also! It's really confusing! ”

At this moment, Zhao Ju's heart was full of the joy of victory.

Prince, that's the future monarch! The prince spoke in person, he can always protect the Guo family, right? Then Guo Ziyu, a hardcore henchman, was saved.

Moreover, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he once again succeeded in separating Mi Heng and Mi Liang; At the same time, the prince Mi Heng had prejudice and vigilance against the law change in his heart!

Reform? What is the law?

Our Zhao clan is one of the most powerful clans in the Chu State, if we really make a change in the Chu State, then the Zhao clan will suffer the most!

And if you change the law, will you be able to strengthen the country? !

……

It is said that the messenger sent by the prince to the Marquis Mansion of Quyang is also an old acquaintance - it is General Jin, the partial general of the forbidden army.

Not to mention how General Jin came to Quyang City and met the Marquis of Quyang, how he greeted him.

Xiong Wuliang took the letter from General Jin's hand, opened it, and frowned deeply!
