Chapter 64: Cao Zhi

  "Oh no, it hurts so much!" A faint moan came from a broken window. Along with the moan, there was also a rustling sound.

  "Who!?" Qin Lang's eyes narrowed, and he glanced towards the broken window. Just as he took a few steps forward, Mo Yan's figure had already flashed into the broken window.

  Qin Lang rolled his eyes, feeling speechless in his heart. The difference in strength was just too great. Qin Lang didn't rush anymore, and slowly strolled to the broken window, then flipped his body and jumped inside.

  "Who are you?" Mo Yan pointed a long spear at the man's neck and asked in a cold voice.

  "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" The man raised his hands, crying out: "Do whatever you want, I won't resist, I won't fight for anything, the throne is yours, the country is yours, take whatever you want, just please don't kill me!"

  "Hmph, if you don't answer this heroine's question, she won't accept anything from you! She wants your life!" Qin Lang chuckled and gave Mo Yan a look, jokingly saying that he had figured it out - this person was extremely afraid of death. The clothes on his body were the same as those on the corpses outside, and everyone outside had died. This coward might be the only one who knew the specific situation.

  Mo Yan rolled her eyes and slightly poked the long spear in her hand forward, its icy tip already embedded in the man's neck.

  That person's body hair stood on end, and pea-sized tears burst forth from his eye sockets.

  "I said I said, I said everything, hurry up and bleed, hurry up and bleed." The person actually started crying, with crystal clear snot mixed with tears like a flood, rolling down from his face.

  Mo Yan furrowed her brow and looked at the snot that was about to drip onto the tip of her gun, quickly moving it away.

  "What a divine instrument!" Qin Lang admired and looked at that tearful person, letting out a sigh of emotion from the bottom of his heart.

  "What kind of person are you? Looking at your behavior, you don't seem like a member of the Imperial City Guard?" Qin Lang leaned in and asked quietly.

  "I'm not me, this body is someone else's. It was the Left Prime Minister who told me to switch with him." Tears streaming down his face, he pinched his nose shut with his right hand and blew a loud nose-blowing sound, speaking in a heartbroken tone.

  "Huh? Who is Zuo Xiang?" Qin Lang asked, turning his head to look at Mo Yan.

  "The Left Chancellor is one of the two chancellors of the kingdom, holding extremely great power in his hands." Mo Yan said thoughtfully as she looked at the tearful person on the ground.

  "How did you end up here then?" Qin Lang continued to ask Lei Ren.

  "I don't know either, I only remember being knocked flying by the Lonely Cloud County Master, and then I fainted. When I came to, I met all of you." Tears continued to fall, her grievances growing more and more pronounced.

  "What? You were beaten by my dad?" Mo Yan heard this, her eyes lit up, and finally had news of her father. She was also not calm.

  "How is my father? Why did he attack you?" Mo Yan asked anxiously, her own father had actually assaulted the person in front of her, what was going on?

  "I don't know, I already said that at the time I was knocked flying by Princess Gu Yun, and didn't know anything. The Left Chancellor has been protecting me as we escaped from the Imperial City, but Princess Gu Yun kept chasing and killing us."

  "Hmph, if my father were to kill you, would you still be standing here alive?" Mo Yan let out a cold hum, speaking to this sniveling coward. She was increasingly disgusted by this person, who as a man had no backbone at all.

  "Woe is me! I didn't expect you to be Mo Gu Yun's daughter. We're done for, we've fallen into your hands again. Please, spare my life!"

  "Alright, alright, be good, don't cry." Qin Lang patted the back of the tearful person as if coaxing a child and said softly: "Come on, tell brother what your name is? Where is the Left Prime who protected you now?"

  "Cough, cough." The newcomer spoke with a sobbing tone, coughed several times, and under Qin Huan's comfort, calmed down slightly, saying: "My name is Cao Zhi. When I was blown away, the Left Prime Minister was also outside."

  "Outside? Outside is just a pile of corpses." Qin Lang pointed outside the window and said.

  "What? Has the Left Prime Minister sacrificed himself?! Wuuu, Left Prime Minister, you sacrificed yourself to save me! Left Prime Minister!!" Upon hearing this, Tearful Person became even more heartbroken.

  "Cao Zhi?" Mo Yan heard this and was taken aback

  Stunned, he immediately widened his eyes, kicked Qin Huan away with one foot, and picked up the tearful person, asking.

  "Are you Crown Prince Cao Zhi?"

  "It's me, it's me, I beg of you, don't kill me." Tears streamed down Mo Yan's face as she looked at Mo Yan, as if seeing an otherworldly demon.

  This man was none other than Crown Prince Cao Zhi, who had been protected by the crowd earlier. Under Mo Yu's lenient treatment, Xu Changgeng secretly exchanged clothes between Cao Zhi and a guard soldier. When they left the city, Mo Yu struck down the guard soldier wearing Cao Zhi's uniform and killed him, disfiguring his face so that he could not be recognized. Only then was Cao Zhi's life saved. After Cao Zhi slowly came to, he happened to meet Mo Yan and Qin Liang, who were preparing to sneak into the city.

  "Is this the prince?" Qin Lang stared at the man who was crying and begging for mercy like a child in Mo Yan's hands, finding it hard to associate him with the prince.

  "It should be correct, it seems that there is indeed a rebellion in the imperial city." Mo Yan's tone was heavy, and she let go of Cao Zhi's collar, taking a step back, asking.

  "Who wants to kill you?"

  "It's my king brother, Cao Pi wants to kill me. I treated him so well, didn't expect he would want to kill me. Wuuu, are you guys also sent by King Brother? Please spare my life, tell King Brother that I won't contend with him for the throne anymore, I'll give everything up to him. Don't kill me!" Cao Zhi said with a trembling heart.

  "Oh my, oh my, it's unbelievable! We've stumbled upon such a shocking event!" Qin Lang's head shook like a rattle drum as he gave Mo Yan a meaningful look.

  Mo Yan nodded and retreated to the corner of the wall, keeping a distance from Cao Zhi.

  Qin Huan glared at Cao Zhi and said viciously, "Don't move, you dare to move, humph!" After finishing speaking, he walked towards the corner of the wall, getting closer to Mo Yan.

  Cao Zhi's two feet were rooted to the ground, his face still streaming with tears, but he didn't dare move a muscle, and could only look pitifully at Qin Lang, wondering why this guy who had just been chatting with him had suddenly turned into a fierce and terrifying figure.

  "Mo Yan, this guy is a hot potato." Qin Liang looked at Cao Zhi and said in a low voice to Mo Yan.

  "Hmm, you're right. There's been a rebellion in the imperial city and unexpectedly, even Father has joined in." Mo Yan said with a worried tone.

  "I think Miss Jun may not be wholeheartedly participating in the rebellion." Qin Cang thought.

  "Why say that."

  "Think about it, since the young lady of the county is chasing and killing Cao Zhi, it means that the young lady of the county is on Cao Pi's side. Logically speaking, if the young lady of the county really participated in the rebellion, then chasing and killing Cao Zhi would be relentless. However, Cao Zhi was beaten by the young lady of the county but managed to survive unscathed, which means that it was the young lady of the county who didn't want him to die and intentionally spared his life. His switching clothes with someone might also have been secretly arranged by the young lady of the county."

  "Was Father forced into joining the rebellion?"

  "Do you still remember the time when you were ambushed by a mysterious expert? That was probably the person who came to abduct you, wanting to use this to threaten the young lady of the county. However, they did not expect an accident to happen. And the young lady of the county might have thought that you had already been abducted, which is why she had no choice but to join the rebel camp." Qin Lin analyzed the intelligence information and gradually approached the truth step by step.

  "What are we going to do now?" Mo Yan had infinite admiration for Qin Cang's thinking, and she had already taken Qin Cang as her only reliance.

  "We have two things to do now." Qin Lang said solemnly.

  "Which two?"

  "First and foremost, we must ensure Cao Zhi's safety. The young mistress of the county risked her life to spare his, and we cannot let her efforts go in vain."

  "Secondly, you must find a way to let the young lady of the county know that you are safe. Only then will she not have any worries or fears when taking action." Qin Lin said with a smile as he looked at Cao Zhi.

  Qin Lang stared at him with a smile, and Cao Zhi's sweat hair stood up instantly, his hands and feet also trembled.

  "Cao Zhi, come, tell your brother what the Left Prime Minister has said to you?" Qin Liang slowly walked towards Cao Zhi and gently asked.
