Chapter 136 Li Ziyan was arrested
Outside the mansion, Zhou Aoyang said to the guard in a panic, "I... I have something important to tell Zhao Junning!" The guard recognized the person in front of him as Zhou Aoyang, so he responded, "Ms. Junning just left not long ago."
Zhou Aoyang then said, "In that case, can I see General Zhao?" After receiving the order, the guard brought Zhou Aoyang into the mansion and reported to Zhao Nian, "General, Master Zhou is here to see you."
Hearing the announcement, Zhao Nian immediately stood up and strode towards the door. When Zhou Aoyang saw Zhao Nian and Meng Xiangning, he saluted respectfully: "General Zhao, Madam."
Zhao Nian asked in confusion: "Master Aoyang, why did you come back suddenly? Did Zi Yan come back with you?"
Zhou Aoyang first shook his head, then nodded, and answered anxiously: "Something happened to Li Ziyan! He was framed for treason and collusion with foreigners, and was arrested last night. He will probably be escorted back to Beijing tomorrow. After Xu Wenhe and I learned the news, we rushed back to the capital just to tell you about this. I believe you will find a way to rescue him." After saying this, Zhou Aoyang looked at Zhao Nian and his wife nervously.
When Meng Xiangning heard the news, she was shocked and cried out, "What? How could this happen?" Her face turned pale in an instant and her body trembled slightly.
After that, Zhou Aoyang handed the letter and the treasure bag in his hand to Zhao Nian and explained, "Li Ziyan once told me that if he encounters an accident, please be sure to give this letter to you, General Zhao, and also pass it on to you, his father, and his uncle. I believe he knows that you will definitely have a way to rescue him, so he left a way out for himself in advance."
Zhao Nian did not dare to neglect it and quickly reached out to take the envelope. He unfolded the letter and saw the six big characters "武将未败" written on it. After reading the letter, Zhao Nian could not help but smile.
At this moment, a guard ran to the front of the hall in a panic, bowed and reported: "General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and he wants to see you for something." Hearing this, Zhao Nian nodded to show that he had understood, and then ordered the guard: "Yes, I understand. You can lead the Crown Prince in from the left corridor. Remember, don't let the news leak out."
After the guards left, Zhao Nian turned to look at Zhou Aoyang and said in a serious tone: "After all, this matter cannot be concealed from Jun Ning. How about this, you immediately go to Li's house to find Jun Ning and tell her the truth in detail."
Zhou Aoyang nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood, and then stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Zhao Nian added: "Mr. Pu, you lead Aoyang from the right corridor to the side door to see him off."
Then the couple dressed and put away the letter and the treasure bag, "How come your Highness the Crown Prince is free to visit my Zhao Nian's mansion tonight?"
Xiao Zhengchu bowed his head and said, "It has been a long time since General Zhao came to Pingliang and I haven't come to visit him in person. I would like to come and visit you tonight."
Zhao Nian and Meng Xiangning looked at each other and Meng Xiangning said, "Ali, serve the tea." Xiao Zhengchu looked at the two of them and said, "This time, Minister Li..." He sighed in embarrassment. Meng Xiangning pretended to be ignorant and said, "Prince, what happened to my son-in-law?"
Xiao Zhengchu frowned: "You two don't know?" Meng Xiangning shook her head: "What happened to my son-in-law?" Xiao Zhengchu was deceived by Meng Xiangning's expression: "Minister Li has committed the crime of treason and collusion with the enemy. I think it's better to tell you the truth."
After hearing this, Zhao Nian angrily slammed the table and sat up. The scene was quiet for a while, and then Zhao Nian said after a moment: "Surrender to the enemy... Your Highness... Pu Gong, send Your Highness back. I... go to pay respect to my ancestors."
Xiao Zhengchu believed Zhao Nian's reaction, "Then I will leave first, General, please don't be too angry."
Xiao Zhengchu walked out of the door and not far away, he heard the sound of teaware breaking from the house, followed by a voice: "What a sin! I thought Brother Li's son was a good boy when he fought on the battlefield, but I didn't expect it. My Jun Ning is crying!"
Meng Xiangning advised: "Things have already come to this, General, please don't be angry."
At this time, inside the house, Zhao Nian was sitting on a chair, smashing a broken teacup, and acting enthusiastically with Meng Xiangning.
The corners of Xiao Zhengchu's lips curled up. This was the effect he wanted, but unfortunately, the old ones still had the best experience.
"You're still a little naive to fight with me, Old Zhao." Zhao Nian took a sip of tea. Meng Xiangning shook her head helplessly: "Okay, it's about time to stop."
Zhao Nian looked like he was asking for praise: "Madam, how was my performance?"
Meng Xiangning looked around and said, "You acted well, but I don't know if Jun Ning can handle this." Zhao Nian comforted Meng Xiangning, "Don't worry, Jun Ning is very smart."
