C402 It's Hard to Say

"Reporting, Commander. This subordinate has already searched this place but did not find any family members of Song Qian here!"

Suddenly, a Imperial Army soldier ran over in a panic and said this piece of news. Ling Yun frowned and looked angrily at Song Qian. "You want to run? It's not that easy. Pass on my order. He swiftly sealed the city gates. From today onwards, No one is allowed to enter or exit. I don't believe that they can still fly out with their wings! "

"There's no need!"

At this moment, a man dressed in fine clothing walked over from outside the door. He used an indifferent kiss to say: "In any case, they are all unimportant people, running away is nothing. And with this lord's means, he has already arranged everything. There is no reason to be caught by you again, so there is no need to waste time. Am I right, Minister? "

Hearing this voice, Song Qian immediately woke up and smiled bitterly. " Emperor. . . Emperor. "

"Beloved Minister Song, I have treated you well!" Chu Feng seemed to sigh emotionally as he muttered to himself. Immediately, he bent down and looked at him calmly. " What benefits did they promise you? "

Song Qian turned his head away guiltily. After which, a ferocious smile surfaced on his face as he said. "Isn't that obvious? It is naturally your throne!"

"Impudent!" Ling Yun was the first to get angry when he heard this. He drew his sword and wanted to kill Chu Feng on the spot, but was stopped by Chu Feng. He asked with a smile, "Just because of this?"

Song Qian was stunned by his question. A ball of anger instantly rose in his eyes. "Chu Feng, if you want to kill or cut me, I, Song Qian, will take it. There's no need for that. Humiliate me here!"

"I'm not humiliating you. " Chu Feng stood up as he spoke. His expression became unusually serious at this moment. "In fact, no matter if it is you or anyone else, as long as you think that you can do better than me, the Emperor, I can give in to you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Yun and the others revealed shocked expressions. Among them was Song Qian, who was furious because he thought that he had been humiliated. Perhaps when others heard what Chu Feng said, it was just empty words. However, with their understanding of Chu Feng, what he said was definitely from the bottom of his heart. There was not a trace of falsehood in his words.

"Minister, you are an outstanding person. In terms of ability, you are not inferior to my Royal Uncle, Chu Xiong. Therefore, if you want the throne, I will give it to you. But why did you collude with the Barbarian Tribe? This is the only thing I can't forgive. "

"So what? You have already done what you shouldn't have done. You won't be able to turn back. " Song Qian shook his head with a bitter smile. At this moment, he felt a trace of regret for the first time in his life.

Chu Feng, on the other hand, was resonated by his words. He said in a slightly absent-minded manner. "That's right. We have already done what we shouldn't have done. How can we turn back?"

He then waved his hand to signal Ling Yun to take him away. The investigation came to an end.

Three days later, it was the day of Song Qian's execution. Killing the Minister of War wasn't a small matter. Not only was it shocking, but it also shocked the entire court. As everyone was discussing the matter, a lonely figure passed through the crowd and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

"Who are you?!"

Two late stage Blood Chong guards immediately stopped him and angrily asked.

The man was not angry when he saw this. He shook his cultivation and gathered his inner energy into a line. He said slowly, "It has been many years since we last met. Brother Meng, why don't you come out and have a chat?"

Before he finished his words, a middle-aged man in a grey robe rushed out of the mansion. He was extremely fast. Clearly, his cultivation level was not low. He was the city master of Luoan City, Meng Ran. He looked at the man in doubt and asked carefully, "You are?"

He had already guessed the identity of the man, but he didn't dare to confirm it because the man was wearing a bamboo hat.

With a bitter smile, the man slowly took off his bamboo hat, and revealed a face that shocked Meng Ran to the extreme.

"Brother!" Meng Ran looked at his sworn brother with extreme excitement, and was just about to give him a hug. He suddenly thought of another piece of news that made his heart ache and could not help but stop. His voice was also extremely cold as he said, "How dare you, Lo Gucheng, harm a loyal person. Everyone had the right to punish someone who had rebelled against them. And now, you actually dare to appear! Someone, come! Take him down! "

The Lo Gucheng only looked at them calmly. Otherwise, with his cultivation, how could he be afraid of these two mere guards? In these past few days, he had already understood the entire sequence of events. He knew that he would never be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Thus, he did not explain further. "Big Brother, Gu Cheng knows that he has sinned greatly. This time, he came specifically to take the lead. "

"You. . . You!" When Meng Ran saw him behaving in such a manner, he became even more furious. He immediately turned around and hated him to the core. "If I had known this would happen, why would you have done it in the first place!"

"Big Brother!" Who knew that the Lo Gucheng would immediately kneel down. He said with incomparable sorrow, "Gu Cheng knows that he can't escape punishment, and doesn't dare to ask for anything. I only hope that Big Brother can agree to Gu Cheng's final request!"

Meng Ran wasn't an iron-hearted person in the end, and a trace of pity flashed in his heart when he saw this, and he said, "Tell me. After all, we were brothers once, and I'll do my best to satisfy it. "

"Thank you, Big Brother!" The Lo Gucheng kowtowed heavily to him and raised his head. His eyes were filled with determination. "At this point, Gu Cheng only wishes that Big Brother can let me see the Emperor one last time. Gu Cheng will die without regrets!"

He could tell from his words that Meng Ran immediately turned his head around and shook his shoulder as he anxiously asked, "Brother, Do you have any difficulties that you have no other choice? Then quickly tell Big Brother. Is there something that even Big Brother can't reveal?"

However, it was lightly pushed away by the Lo Gucheng. Inadvertently looking around the surroundings, he sighed with deep emotion in a low voice. "Human life is related to the heavens. Forgive me, Gu Cheng, for not telling you!"

This seemingly unintentional action of the Lo Gucheng was instantly remembered by Meng Ran in his heart. In an instant, he became even more convinced. This brother of his had something to hide, so he immediately cooperated with him and said, "Men, capture this traitor for me. Quickly follow me into the palace to meet the Sage!"

Luoan was the imperial city, and the true ruler of the city was incomparable to other cities. Meng Ran had been chosen as the City Lord of the city. Naturally, he was also heavily relied upon by Chu Feng. After arriving at the palace without any hindrance, Meng Ran and his group stood still outside the Clear Shadow Hall. Following Chu Feng's "declaration," they bowed and walked into the palace.

The few of them slowly walked into the palace. Before Chu Feng even asked a question, Ling Yun's mind was already deeply locked by a man wearing a bamboo hat who was kneeling in the palace. A trace of pain flashed across his eyes. Others might not be able to recognize who it was. But how could he not recognize that it was his senior brother, the Lo Gucheng!

Sure enough, when Meng Ran removed the bamboo hat on the man's head, the resolute and somewhat lonely face of the Lo Gucheng was revealed. Chu Feng's eyes immediately widened when he saw this. He unconsciously crushed the memorial in his hand.

"Lo Gucheng!"
