However, the stable life did not last for a few days, everything was developing very fast, and the torrent of fate was rushing the Zhu family in an unknown direction.
A few days later, a big event happened, Nagisa died.
In the original text, Zhu Fu is a character who has never shown his face at all. He is equivalent to an insignificant passer-by. Naturally, the original text will not explain his ending. But after Rongwan entered this world and became Zhujing, Zhufu's death had a considerable impact on him. The entire Zhu mansion was hastily changed into black mourning clothes, and the guards sent by Zhu Yun to protect him had obviously followed Zhu Yun's instructions and became more vigilant, staying up all night and taking turns on duty.
Jinzhao also clearly felt that there were more people sent by the royal family to patrol around Zhufu, like surveillance. His whole body entered a state of keen vigilance, and he followed Rong Wan almost every step of the way. At night, he was completely unshakable and carried his quilt into Rong Wan's room to make a bed on the floor.
At first, Rongwan didn't realize that those people sent by the royal family to watch, thought Jin Zhao had become clingier again, and even teased him once, but after going for a walk in the garden, Rongwan suddenly realized that Nagisa Jing Mansion has already been targeted by the royal family.
And although Zhu Yun didn't show it at all, he was calm and cold as always, but when Rong Wan went to the funeral and vigil, he could clearly feel Zhu Yun's angry mood suppressed under his calm face.
Rong Wan asked, "Did Zhu's father die naturally or was caused by the royal family?"
The system said: "When I was assassinated not long ago, although I was cured at that time, I was infected with a cold. In addition, the old man's body was suspended by the medicine tube, so he passed away without being cured."
So, to a certain extent, it was caused by the royal family.
Zhu Yun was naturally angry, and even wished he could immediately lead troops into the royal family and tear up all the nobles.
After delivering the coffin, the cremation is complete.
Zhu Yun remained silent all the time, half of his face was covered by the wind and snow, and he looked very cold and stern. He walked to the side alone, smoked a cigarette distractedly, and waited until the smoke on his fingertips burned to his fingers, and then put the extinguished cigarette away. Throwing it away, walked to Rong Wan's side, glanced at his younger brother: "Come with me."
In the original text, the relationship between Zhu Jing and his father is still very good, so Rong Wan showed some sadness on his face, and he followed Zhu Yun silently.
According to the usual practice, slaves are not allowed to enter this kind of noble cemetery, so Jin Zhao still stood with the guards at the foot of the cemetery steps from a distance, looking at him.
Zhu Yun took Rong Wan into the car, first groped around to confirm that there were no surveillance recordings, and then relaxed his guard a little. After seeing his younger brother's face was frozen by the cold wind, he unconsciously calmed down, and comforted him: "Everyone has his own destiny, Jingjing, don't be too sad."
Rong Wan has never even seen Zhu's father's face, in fact, he can't feel any sadness, but seeing Zhu Yun busy for a whole day and night, but still has to wipe off his tiredness in front of his younger brother, and treat him gently, he couldn't help but feel sad. Feeling sad for the family. Although this family is not considered to be a good person in the original text, compared with the cruel and capricious royal family, they are still nothing.
There was not much expression on his face, but in Zhu Yun's eyes, it was too much sadness that made his expression numb.
In addition to feeling sorry for his younger brother, Zhuyun felt even more angry towards the royal family, and his desire to fight back became more and more intense.
"You are also aware of the current situation. Even though our family has already made a small ambush, it is still a thorn in the flesh of the royal family. One day we may be cornered. But you don't have to worry, the elder brother has already arranged everything." Zhu Yun warned, "The next period of time may be difficult, but you must not go against the big brother at this time, and you must listen to the big brother's arrangement in everything."
It's this time, and Zhu Jing is not someone who can't distinguish between positions. Even if he has never had a good relationship with Zhu Yun, they will be brothers.
So Rong Wan nodded slowly.
Zhu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say any more, patted Rong Wan on the shoulder, then turned and left.
After he went out, even his back looked cold and stern, in the snowstorm, he looked a little resolute and bleak.
**
Once Zhu's father died, the Zhu family's influence in the entire capital seemed to be uprooted. In just a few days, they became the most powerless family. Rong Wan's side is okay, after all he has been at home all the time, but Zhuyun's side is miserable, through the camera provided by the system, he is seen in a state of desperation, and his every move is under the surveillance of the royal family.
And after returning from the cemetery that day, Zhu Yun gave Rong Wan a note.
There are still a few messy and domineering words on it.
My brother: The golden cicada escapes its shell and stays put.
After that, he was speechless, what the hell kind of plan is this? ! If he hadn't been going through the system all the time and knew what Zhuyun had arranged in advance, the ghost would have understood the eight words he gave! Zhu Yun really thought that his younger brother had the same brain waves as him? ! At that time, Zhu Jing's IQ is not enough, and he will be killed by his inexplicable eight characters.
But in fact, growing up in the harsh environment of the empire, Zhu Jing was well versed in fighting openly and secretly since he was a child, and his IQ may be much higher than that of a young man with three outlooks in the 21st century who are positive and sunny. You must read his elder brother's words I can understand it.
Zhu Yun's plan is that when the royal family actually attacks the two brothers, they don't have to resist, they just obey and be imprisoned by the royal family. In this way, both of them will be trapped, and the entire Zhu family will be deserted, and the royal family will definitely gradually relax their vigilance. Unbeknownst to the imperial family, Zhu Yun contacted the three small countries around the empire in advance—
Zhu Yun had served as a diplomat in the empire for many years, so he still had the ability to do so. Those three small countries were already waiting for the big empire to share a piece of fat sheep, but they had no entrance. But now, Zhu Yun provided them with detailed maps, and even some manpower and weapons secretly trained. All he had to do was wait for the moment when the royal family relaxed their vigilance, attack in one fell swoop, and rescue the two brothers with some of Zhu Yun's former heartfelt subordinates.
This is considered collaborating with the enemy and treason. But for Rong Wan, he came into this world inexplicably, he didn't have his own position, and he didn't regard the empire as his own country, so he didn't feel anything. In addition, the two brothers of the Zhu family were not good people anyway, and there was a lot of blood on their hands, so Zhu Yun would choose to burn the boat like this, because he only felt that he was ambitious.
And the reason why Rong Wan had to stand still and tie his hands was because Zhu Yun needed to get rid of his younger brother completely.
When the time comes, Rong Wan will be locked in the monitoring room, no matter what happens outside, whether it succeeds or not, it will only be Zhu Yun's business. If it succeeds and Zhuyun rebels, he will be the emperor's younger brother after Rongwan. If it fails, at least Princess Suya and Lu Sujun will guarantee Rongwan, and he knows nothing about the rebellion, so he can stay. Come down.
After understanding all of Zhuyun's plans, it must be a lie to say that there is no emotion in his heart, but Rong Wan also knows that the reason why Zhuyun did this for his younger brother was not for him, but because of him. For Zhu Jing who was occupied by him.
So after Rong Wan found out about his plan, he also made a plan for himself and the protagonist.
**
The wind and clouds in Kyoto were turbulent, and things fermented quickly. Seven days after Duke Zhu was cremated, Zhu Yun asked Rong Wan to come over and burn the mink fur of Duke Zhu's title to the graveyard for him, which meant additional honor.
It was a crimson velvet coat trimmed with three ermine furs, and the crown was plated with a layer of gold and silver circles. When it was burned, the flames shot up to the sky. To a certain extent, it was the Nagisa family's declaration of war on the royal family. With the royal family watching so closely, Zhuyun and Zhujing dare to mourn their father publicly? It's fine if you don't do a little fuss, but you dare to insist on it openly
So the royal family was furious, and the actions to suppress the Nagisa family became more obvious and accelerated—
The royal family framed him within a few days, saying that it was discovered in the house where Duke Zhu died that he had raised many soldiers privately, and that he wanted to bring people to dig his grave to confirm whether he was dead or not.
This was obviously an excuse, Zhu Yun was so angry that he had sex with the people sent by the royal family on the spot, and was hurriedly taken into prison by the royal family in the middle of the night.
But Rongwan knew Zhuyun's plan well, and knew that Zhuyun did it on purpose. Because Zhuyun started planning as early as when he smelled the crisis, and it has been half a year. The secret soldiers and the small country he contacted have already prepared everything and are ready to go, just waiting for the time to come. At this time, the royal family was not ready for anything, they only thought that the two brothers Zhu Yun and Zhu Jing were still grieving over the loss of their father, so how could they be prepared.
Zhu Yun provoked the conflict ahead of time, which is to attack the unpreparedness of the royal family with a perfect strategy.
That night, Rong Wan didn't sleep, and explained some things to Jin Zhao.
next morning.
Sure enough, the royal family sent someone to his residence to invite him over for tea and investigation. However, compared to Zhuyun who was directly put in prison, the royal family's attitude towards him can be regarded as very good. After all, he and Lu Sujun still have an unfinished marriage, and there is Princess Suya interceding, Coupled with any actions that Zhu Yun did against the royal family, he was picked out.
Therefore, the attitude of the royal guards who invited him over was quite gentle.
It's just that as soon as the guards entered the mansion, they felt as if something was staring at them in the dark, as if a chill suddenly climbed up their backs, and some kind of threat was waiting for an opportunity. But all the guards in Zhujing's mansion searched, where is there any threat? They couldn't help feeling that they were overthinking.
The guards were waiting outside the gate, urging Rong Wan to go over as soon as possible.
Rong Wan was still in the room, slowly putting on his clothes.
Jin Zhao put on a tie for Rong Wan, and looked out of the window from time to time, his eyes were gloomy and cold. If it was him, he would still be calm, but now those people are going to take away his most precious person, and he has no way to think calmly.
Rong Wan saw his uneasiness and anxiety, couldn't help but raised his hand, pinched his earlobe, and said, "It's nothing serious, just do as I say, I won't be in danger."
During this period of time, Jin Zhao has been keeping watch in his room, and Rong Wan still sleeps quite peacefully, but Jin Zhao has not slept for a long time, but it seems that apart from some red blood in his eyes, he is still full of energy. Insomnia is just a daily occurrence for him. He was like a ferocious beast ready to go, except for Rong Wan, none of the servants and guards in the mansion dared to approach him easily.
Jin Zhao hung his head and said nothing.
He even had the violent thought of killing all those people—he had crawled out of the abyss, and he hadn't had such a cruel thought for a long time, but now when he thought that the general would be taken away, all the dark thoughts in his heart They all came out. It took him a lot of effort to prevent his mental strength from being exposed, and to restrain his dangerous impulse.
If those people really touched a hair of the general, he would kill them.
Will.
"General, I can take you away." Jin Zhao couldn't help mentioning it again, because he talked more and more, his voice was not as dry and hoarse as before, but his tone was still a bit unnatural. But because of the anxiety in my heart, I can't care so much.
The protagonist mentioned this to Rong Wan more than once recently, but Rong Wan still shook his head.
"You have to take back what belongs to you first, and then come to me."
Jin Zhao can now come and go freely in the empire, with the spiritual power of the sss gene, no one is his opponent, he can do many things for Rong Wan. Even now, he can take Rong away and fly away, but if the two of them leave, they will have to hide in the future, so it is better to rebel with Zhuyun. Leaving aside Zhuyun's side, without Jinzhao, I'm afraid the success rate would be almost zero. Just talk about the finished task, one of which is to get back the energy source for the protagonist.
The protagonist without an energy source may be considered the strongest person in the entire empire, but when the time comes to escape, the empire will not only send a few soldiers to kill them, but will send all kinds of brutal spaceships and other weapons and thousands of troops, Even if the protagonist has super powers, there is no way to break out of the encirclement.
In the original text, the protagonist finally broke out. Although the entire empire fell, he also paid his own life.
And Rong Wan definitely couldn't let him die. Not only can't die, but also can't be injured, and must retreat completely.
So he had to get back the energy source, that way, not only would Rong Wan be able to complete the mission, but the chance of success in this rebellion would also be greatly increased.
Jin Zhao didn't know what Rong Wan had in mind about the system and tasks.
He only thought that the general hoped that after he obtained the energy source, it would become his most useful weapon, win this battle for him, and push Zhuyun to the throne. It doesn't matter who the regime is, and it doesn't matter whether he will be injured, or if he fails, he will be arrested again, but he cares about what the general thinks—
Since the general wanted him to do it, he did it, no matter why.
The general never knew that for him, he had been crawling in the dark for too long, and once he caught a glimpse of a gentle light, he regarded it as salvation from then on. The general is not only his belief, but also the object of his eternal death. He loves this person, wants to protect this person, but also wants to desperately get what this person wants for this person, as long as it is this person's wish, he will die.
After seeing Jin Zhao in front of Rong Wan, he stopped talking, pursed his lips, and raised his dark eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
"Protect yourself." Rong Wan couldn't help exhorting.
Jin Zhao knelt down on one knee in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "General, I will stand by for you forever."
