Zhu Houzhao was so angry that she couldn't speak, but just glared at Jiao Zhizhong coldly.

But Ye Chunqiu said: "What conditions does the imperial court agree to?"

"Ensure the safety of the Jiao family and the whole family, I respectfully send us to Japan."

Going to Japan?

This is easy to understand. Since Ye Chunqiu killed the Prince of Japan, the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty had no room for mediation, and it was irreconcilable. At this time, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet surrendered to him, and Jiao Fang could also gain a habitat for his tribe members. Even if Japan did not give preferential treatment, he would not easily kill the Jiao family. Of course, Jiao Fang had a great understanding of the Ming Dynasty and might even be valued by the Japanese.

Jiao Fang had reached this point and obviously had no way out. The only thing he could do was to get farther away from the capital, the better. He knew very well that when the wall fell and everyone pushed him, his crimes would only increase over time. In the end, a killer or even Lingchi could not escape.

Since that's the case, then run away. He should have made friends with many people in the palace and seized the handle of many people. He used these people to do these things and promised to take them away at that time and even live a wealthy life. If these people don't listen, they will die in the capital, so they will naturally be willing to fight with Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang is not an ordinary person. His early deeds are enough to show that this person can do anything, especially to survive.

However, it was too late to know the true face of this person.

When Ye Chunqiu saw Jiao Zhizhong still said, "What else?"

Jiao Zhizhong said: "There is another thing. The life of the Crown Prince is crucial, but the next journey may be very difficult. My father doesn't want any surprises in the Crown Prince, so... Your Majesty can let one person replace the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly seemed to see hope and said urgently: "Replace? Then let Liu Baobao go."

Liu Jin behind him shivered. He didn't want to be replaced. He and Jiao Fang did have a close relationship at the beginning, but Jiao Fang collapsed and there were many Liu Jin among the people who took advantage of the situation. If he went there, it would be a life-threatening death.

Jiao Zhizhong forced a smile, then looked at Ye Chunqiu hatefully and said, "My father means that he can let Ye Shixue replace His Royal Highness."

Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he heard this. He knew the grudge between Ye Chunqiu and Jiao Fang, so he replaced Ye Chunqiu with the prince, which did not mean...

He shook his head and sneered, "This must be your trick. Humph, do you think I will believe it?"

When Ye Chunqiu heard the replacement, he suddenly realized that Jiao Fang's target was himself. He not only wanted to run away, but also wanted to avenge the arrow.

Once Ye Chunqiu enters the Jiao family, Jiao Fang may not be willing to keep his promise and let the prince go. What's more, once he takes him hostage, will he be willing to let him go when they really run away?

This is almost like sending death.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Jiao Zhizhong calmly and said, "Does Jiao Guild keep his promise?"

Jiao Zhizhong smiled coldly and said disapprovingly: "This is unknown."

Ye Chunqiu suddenly said, "Okay, I promise you."

"What..." Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Even if you enter the Jiao family, they may not be willing to let Yao'er go. This old dog has no faith..."

Ye Chunqiu smiled slightly, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "He will let go. If he doesn't let go, it means that this person is completely untrustworthy. Then Your Majesty doesn't have to care about the safety of his brother and the crown prince, even if he orders to kill him."

Ye Chunqiu’s logic is very simple and easy to understand.

If you don’t let the prince come out, Jiao Fang will not be trusted. No matter who he hijacks, the prince and Ye Chunqiu may not be able to survive. Therefore, the Ming army no longer has to worry about it, just kill in and kill everyone.

If Jiao Fang let the prince go and seize Ye Chunqiu, it would at least mean that they were trustworthy. Then the court could trust them once for Ye Chunqiu's safety and sent them out of seclusion safely.

Zhu Houzhao bit her lip, looking hesitant.

Ye Chunqiu was already in Jiao Zhizhong and said, "You go back and report to Jiao Gong, I will go in half an hour. I hope Jiao Gong will trust his words, otherwise Ye and your whole family will die without a place to die."

Jiao Zhizhong nodded and hurriedly entered Jiao Mansion.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but clenched her fists and said to Ye Chunqiu: "Ye Chunqiu, you..."

Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Ye Chunqiu ignored it and said seriously: "Come here, ask someone to go to the Zhenguo New Army camp and ask someone to bring my clothes. Since I want to go out with the Jiao family, I must bring some clothes to protect the cold."

Someone heard this and went there with Pegasus.

Ye Chunqiu turned around and saw Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jian and others looking at him, and they all looked embarrassed. Ye Chunqiu smiled instead and said, "If Jiao Fang really keeps her trust, please ask Your Majesty and the Dukes to not force the Jiao family too much for the sake of the safety of the subordinates..."

"Spring and Autumn..." Zhu Houzhao stumbled and couldn't speak. After a while, she suddenly burst into tears and said, "I want to tear Jiao Fang the whole family into pieces."

Liu Jian and others just sighed, Xie Qian shook his head and said, "My nephew..."

Xie Qian never called Ye Chunqiu a virtuous nephew in public, but now he doesn't care much about it and says bitterly: "Nephew, you're all going to get married."

Ye Chunqiu responded with a smile and didn't say anything more. Soon, a quick horse brought a bag. Ye Chunqiu found a nearby house and changed his clothes before leaving.

In front of everyone, Ye Chunqiu slowly walked into the Jiao family. The gate of the Jiao family was already ruined. He walked in, passed the deep gate, and bypassed the screen wall. Here, a gravel road leads directly to the main hall.

When Ye Chunqiu walked into the main hall, he saw Jiao Fang sitting here quietly at this moment.

Jiao Fang looked at Ye Chunqiu who was walking towards him, put down the wine cup in her hand, smiled and said, "Yessie Ye, I have invited you here a long time ago, but Ye Xue Xue didn't come until midnight. Come on, let's have a few drinks with me first."

His words were obviously ridiculous.

Ye Chunqiu sat down openly and said, "Is Mr. Jiao a person who believes in his words?"

At the same time, many people had already come from all directions. Dozens of strong men were holding muskets, and they were obviously made by the workshop. Everyone was vigilantly aiming the muzzle at Ye Chunqiu, and no one dared to relax.

Jiao Fang smiled and said, "I hope to forgive my sins. I have long heard that Ye Shixue's sword skills are amazing. I must be prepared for a young age. Ye Shixue, please rest assured. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will naturally return the jade to Zhao. I am not stupid. If I go back on my word and lose my credit, then even if I hold the prince and Ye Shixue hostage, I will die without a place to bury it."
