Chapter 750 Loyalty and Treachery Difficult to Distinguish, Enemy's Path Block
Emperor Jin awoke from his coma and immediately became alert upon opening his eyes.
The main reason is that the surrounding environment has changed.
It should be noted that such beds and decorations would never have been found in the Lingshan Manor where he previously stayed.
To conceal his identity, Emperor Jin naturally did not make a big fuss, so he simply found a farmhouse to rest temporarily.
However, he quickly relaxed and could feel his injuries improving.
It's obvious that some precious medicine was used for treatment; otherwise, it would have been impossible for the patient to recover to this extent on their own.
'What exactly are these remnants of the previous dynasty thinking?' Emperor Jin wondered.
He recognized the scholar.
His appearance was exactly the same as that of Zhu Shichang, the Grand Tutor of Nayila.
Not only is his surname Zhu, but his words and actions also confirm his identity.
Zhu Shichang was the grandson of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, but he had to leave the Central Plains because Emperor Taizu of Jin seized power.
Emperor Jin knew perfectly well what tricks the Zhu family was playing; they were simply using someone else's resources to their advantage.
They had always wanted to restore their country, which was only natural. But what he couldn't understand was why this young man from the Zhu family wanted to save him.
Logically speaking, killing him would have solved the problem.
'These hidden dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible after the situation is restored,' Emperor Jin made his decision.
To cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud. The woman really didn't know his identity, but this kind of thing had to be done without any mistakes.
As for saving the emperor? After the other party died, he not only gave him a grand funeral, but also bestowed upon him great honors, which were recorded extensively in historical records.
We will ensure that he goes down in history.
But living is not an option.
"Wen Kang, Wen Kang," Emperor Jin called out.
Just then, a noise came from outside the door, and a maid entered, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Another maidservant hurried away to inform them.
When Emperor Jin saw someone enter, he immediately said, "Shui Shui."
Upon seeing this, the maidservant hurriedly poured hot tea and handed it to Emperor Jin.
After taking a sip and recovering, Emperor Jin asked, "Whose maid are you?"
"Your Majesty, it is a maid from Minister Wang Jie'an's residence," the maid said.
This caused Emperor Jin's expression to freeze; he had never expected this answer.
Although his mind was in turmoil, the strange expression on his face only flashed by for a moment before he quickly concealed it.
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Jie'an hurried over, accompanied by the scholar surnamed Zhu and the woman named Zhong Lei.
The three of them bowed as soon as they arrived. The scholar surnamed Zhu seemed reluctant, but he still bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I am sorry for being late in coming to your aid." Wang Jie'an apologized as soon as he arrived, and said, "I heard from Young Hero Zhu that there are treacherous officials in the court who want to harm Your Majesty. I had no choice but to temporarily settle Your Majesty in my home."
To be honest, Emperor Jin almost lost his composure when he heard Wang Jie'an say that.
He really doesn't know who he's guarding against, right?
Moreover, he felt a little uneasy looking at this combination.
The treacherous and powerful ministers and remnants of the previous dynasty got together and then, under the guise of rescuing the emperor, placed him in their home.
It looks like he can't save either his life or his empire.
"Where is Wen Kang?" Emperor Jin asked directly.
This dimmed the light in Wang Jie'an's eyes. He was loyal and devoted, but Emperor Jin immediately sought out that eunuch.
"Eunuch Wen, he..." Wang Jie'an hesitated for a moment, finding it difficult to speak.
However, Zhong Lei spoke first: "That scoundrel, I killed him."
This caused a hint of coldness to appear in Emperor Jin's eyes.
In fact, he had made this preparation when he learned that he was in Wang Jie'an's mansion.
But actually hearing the result is another matter entirely.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger," Wang Jie'an quickly said. "There's more to this than meets the eye. This Miss Zhong Lei is..."
He immediately explained the cause and effect.
This left Emperor Jin with extremely mixed feelings, and in the end he could only say, "I never issued that imperial edict ordering my execution."
"Zhong Qing has endured humiliation and hardship for twenty years; it is I who have failed Zhong Qing." These words were spoken with deep emotion, giving the impression of someone who values loyalty and righteousness.
"When I return to the palace, I will certainly posthumously confer the title of Minister Zhong."
What he said was indeed true.
Emperor Jin had never issued an edict, and he genuinely did not know that Zhong Hao was still alive before Wen Kang falsely conveyed the imperial edict.
In truth, whether he lived or died made no difference to Emperor Jin.
And the posthumous conferment was indeed true.
Giving a dead person an honor is utterly meaningless.
It's all just empty talk anyway.
You have to be careful when giving things to the living, but you don't have as many reservations when giving them to the dead.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zhong Lei quickly expressed her gratitude.
"My three ministers, please rise." Emperor Jin immediately said, "In that case, let's return to the palace."
"But what about the treacherous officials in the court?" Wang Jie'an asked again.
"It's alright, I will make my own decision." Emperor Jin said this to test Wang Jie'an and see what his attitude was.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it immediately." Seeing Emperor Jin's expression, Wang Jie'an agreed without hesitation.
This answer caught Emperor Jin off guard; it was completely different from what he had expected. Shouldn't he have tried every means to obstruct and refuse? Why did he agree so readily?
'Could it be that Wang Jie'an is truly a loyal minister?!' This thought suddenly popped into Emperor Jin's mind.
But he quickly suppressed this idea: 'Let's try again. If he is truly a loyal subject, then the previous targeting of him needs to be changed to checks and balances; he can be used, but only in crucial moments.'

"Did you notice anything amiss?" Chu Danqing asked.
Guo Ming shook his head: "A bit, both of them have conflicted personalities."
"However, Emperor Jin's attitude towards Zhu Danfeng seems a bit strange; while he is grateful, he also wants to kill him."
"It's completely baffling to me."
Chu Danqing stroked his chin and said, "His surname is Zhu. Do you think he might be Zhu Shichang's son?"
"Brother Chu, do you think this makes sense?" Guo Ming was skeptical: "Zhu Danfeng is practicing the Myriad Streams Facing the Sea Sword."
"He and Zhong Lei are from the same school. Although they have different teachers, this Ancestor Xuan Yi is from the Jin Dynasty, and all those who passed on his skills are from the Jin Dynasty."
Why would Zhu Shichang be willing to send his son to Jin Dynasty to learn martial arts?
"If that's true, then why did he come to the Jin Dynasty, and why did he save Emperor Jin?"
After hearing Guo Ming's words, Chu Danqing also felt that they made sense.
If Zhu Danfeng really is Zhu Shichang's son, that would be too outrageous.
“That’s true.” Chu Danqing nodded and said, “Let me test it.”
As she spoke, Chu Danqing took advantage of the testing opportunity provided by the park to undergo remote testing.
[Detection complete; no abnormalities found in the target object]
The park's notification came back immediately.
“No problem.” Chu Danqing immediately said, “Could it really be that Ancestor Xuanyi?”
"Then after we deal with Oirat Khan and make them withdraw their troops, we will go and kill Emperor Jin."
Chu Danqing did this, of course, to maintain a balance.
Whether it was Emperor Jindi or Khan Ölüla, they either lived or they died.
Otherwise, as long as one person remains alive, the high-end combat capabilities of the two countries will be out of balance.
The stronger party will definitely launch an invasion war at that time.
If the two countries initiate the war on their own, Chu Danqing will not interfere too much.
But this time, the balance was disrupted because he killed one of them, so he definitely has to take responsibility.
As for the claim that this led to the innocent and tragic death of Oirat Khan, he was not entirely innocent either.
He had limited knowledge of this Khan, but he knew that the Khan's dehumanization was not much different from that of Emperor Jin.
These two are pretty much evenly matched.
Killing him might be a sin, but it's absolutely worth it.
"Don't kill the rest. The main goal is to drive them back," Chu Danqing said. "With these two disciples of war getting involved, it will take at least ten or eight years for the two countries to recover."
He said this to Guo Ming, lest he become too ruthless when he started killing.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu, I know what I'm doing." Guo Ming isn't a serial killer.
He won't do anything that doesn't benefit him.
There were treasure chests before, so the more people died, the more points Chu Danqing could earn.
But since the natives aren't dropping treasure chests in this faction competition, he definitely won't commit any more killings.
“But before that, Brother Chu, you should inform Elong in advance and give him a heads-up,” Guo Ming said.
If the opponent were to transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and attack me, even if I held back, it wouldn't be pleasant.
Chu Danqing immediately agreed and then contacted Elong.
[Erlong: I didn't follow the Oirat army this morning. I found traces of that Tier 3 Fantasy Saint on the way, and I'm looking for him now.]
[Cretosaur: I'll let you know as soon as I find it. Remember to come over quickly. My chances of winning alone are only about 50/50]
[Silent Poetry: Good]
Chu Danqing was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Cretaceous Dragon would actually leave.
However, this is also good news, as that Tier 3 Fantasy Saint is a great threat to Chu Danqing.
It would be a good thing to find him and kill him as soon as possible.
"Go ahead and do it. He went to find that Tier 3 Fantasy Saint and didn't follow the Oyila army," Chu Danqing said.
Hearing this, Guo Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Just watch me from now on."
As he spoke, he took out the Yin-Yang Sword Diagram and looked at the vast army of the Oirat who were rushing towards him in the distance.
He then set up the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation.
"You're planning to take it on by yourself???" Chu Danqing thought Guo Ming was a bit too brave.
There are at least 20 level 5 opponents on the other side, and Guo Ming alone is no match for them.
"No, we're just making some preparations first." Guo Ming chuckled awkwardly, "We still have Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu, plus the Dragon Soaring Phoenix Emblem and the Heavenly Origin Breaking Camp."
One person definitely couldn't handle it, but with so many people working together, it's not a problem.
As long as they are not apostles or members of other factions, Guo Ming is not afraid at all.
“Alright, make a bigger commotion, and it'll save us some trouble by attracting people over.” After saying that, Chu Danqing told Da Gu to chant the mournful wind in preparation.
Once the Oirat army gets closer, we'll give them a taste of their power.
If it weren't for the concern about too many casualties, I would have used the fully charged and extremely powerful Sorrowful Wind.
Then no one needs to lift a finger; those who are still alive might just be scared out of their wits.
