Chapter 244 We are not allowed to ask

Author: Xi Yueshi

Night, Apocalypse Palace, Imperial Study Room, Dark Hall.

There were a lot of secret guards standing densely in the hall, and everyone bowed their heads in silence, not daring to speak.

for a long time.

A secret guard in front boldly asked: "Commander, the emperor has summoned us to the palace for so long. Why haven't we seen anyone yet?"

Black Eagle glared at him instantly, and the secret guard was immediately startled and lowered his head.

After a moment, Black Eagle yelled: "The emperor has a lot of government affairs, and he will definitely be busy at this meeting. Let's wait. No one is allowed to say more, otherwise the emperor will investigate after a while, and I won't be able to save you, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Commander." Everyone was trembling with fear.

At this moment, looking at the people in the hall, Black Eagle also looked solemn...

The emperor has always trusted the leader the most. But now he suddenly called everyone in.

The emperor's move seemed more like he was afraid that everyone would collude in the confession. Because in full view of the public, no one dared to discuss it casually.

What on earth is going on? It has something to do with the leader! It seems like this matter is not trivial.

A long time, a long time.

Emperor Mingxi just walked into the dark hall.

Black Eagle quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, there are still two people outside on errands, and everyone else is here."

"Yes." Emperor Mingxi nodded and walked towards the throne.

At this moment, Emperor Mingxi stared at the people in the palace with cold air in his eyes. Everyone in the palace had chills down their spines.

Black Eagle on the side also looked heavy.

for a long time.

Emperor Mingxi just spoke: "In the past six months, I have been out on business with your leader. Now stand up for me."

At this moment, everyone in the hall had chills running down their spines, and their legs and feet were weak! But no one dared to move at all!

Black Eagle frowned and trembled in his heart, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, everyone outside is following the leader's orders and doing errands. Maybe everyone also thinks that the leader's arrangements are all made by the emperor.

Agreed."

The implication is that even if you follow the leader and do something you shouldn't do, you are just following orders.

for a long time.

Emperor Mingxi just spoke: "As long as the matter is explained clearly today, no matter what the matter is, I will not pursue it."

"But if anyone dares to hide it, once I find out, he will be punished with death. Anyone who has relatives will be implicated!"

In an instant, several people in the palace immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The Emperor atones! The Emperor atones!..."

Looking at the several people kneeling on the ground, Emperor Mingxi's eyes darkened and he spoke again: "Are you sure there are no others? I will give you one last chance to stand up and forget about it!"

After a moment, a secret guard boldly said: "Go back to the emperor. The tasks assigned by the leader are all done by ourselves. In the impression of my subordinates, when the leader goes out to do business, he also travels alone."

"We don't know what they went out to do. It's probably arranged privately by the leader."

for a long time.

Emperor Mingxi looked at Ying Yi, who understood instantly, stepped forward, grabbed a secret guard, and pushed him to his knees.

The secret guard was instantly startled and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, your subordinates have never gone out on business with the leader. Your Majesty, your subordinates have not lied. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Shut up!" Ying Yi shouted.

The secret guard paused for a moment and did not dare to say anything.

After a moment, Emperor Mingxi spoke: "Black Eagle, take everyone down and put them in place. No one is allowed to discuss in secret."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Black Eagle hurriedly bowed and replied.

Then he shouted: "Everyone else will follow me and leave."

"Yes." Everyone hurriedly accepted the order and left the main hall as if running away.

for a long time.

Emperor Mingxi just spoke: "Tell me, what did your leader ask you to do?"

The secret guard hurriedly replied: "When I returned to the emperor, I went to Yunzhou."

Emperor Mingxi's voice turned cold: "Yunzhou?"

At this moment, Black Eagle had just arranged for everyone to return to the main hall.

The secret guard hurriedly replied: "That's right. Your Majesty, in fact, at that time, my subordinates received orders from the Emperor to go with a few brothers to learn about the disaster in Yunzhou."

"However, my subordinates accidentally saw the person that the leader asked us to find many years ago. So I hurriedly sent a message to the leader. The leader then went to Yunzhou."

"Not long after, the leader sent a message to his subordinates, asking them to gather a few of them and go to Yunzhou together."

The second secret guard hurriedly replied: "Yes, we received the order at that time and went to Yunzhou. We hid at the address given by the leader."

"Not a day later, we received another message from the leader, asking us to go to a cave immediately."

"And when we got there, we saw the leader holding the man in his hand while avoiding an attack from a master."

"We were all frightened at that time because the master's martial arts skills were too high. In the end, the leader was hit by the man. Then we quickly used smoke bombs to attack and rescue the leader."

The other secret guards quickly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, that's what happened."

Emperor Mingxi had a cold look in his eyes... Hey, you actually hid so many things from me!

Black Eagle on the side, feeling the cold air on Emperor Mingxi's body, was also frightened. How could the leader and the emperor make such a fuss?

The secret guard quickly said: "Later, we left Yunzhou with the leader and the others, and the leader let us go. We don't know where the leader and that person went afterwards."

Emperor Mingxi asked in confusion: "Many years ago? Which year was it? The person you are looking for? Who is it?"

The secret guard shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, that happened in the fifth year of Zongyuan. As for who it is, I don't know who it is."

"At that time, the leader suddenly called some of us, gave us a portrait, and told us about this person's life characteristics. Let us follow these clues to find that person."

"The leader didn't tell us who that person was. We always just follow orders. We are not allowed to ask about things that are not mentioned above."

"And that time, the leader also issued a strict order not to discuss this task with other people in private. We didn't even dare to ask."

Black Eagle quickly spoke up and said, "That's right, Your Majesty. According to the regulations of the secret guards, they really cannot ask about things that are not mentioned above."

Emperor Mingxi spoke again: "Where's the back?"

The secret guard quickly said: "At first, we found traces of that person in an inn in Qingzhou and told the leader."

Emperor Mingxi was confused for a moment and said: "Qingzhou?"

The secret guard quickly nodded and replied: "Yes, it's the inn in Qingzhou."

"The back is the inn where the leader went, so we don't know what the specific situation is at the inn."

"However, more than a year later, the leader received an order from the late emperor and went out on errands. That day, the leader called us again and asked us to continue searching secretly."

"That's when we learned that the man was missing again."

"We received the order and searched according to the clues given by the leader, but still found nothing."

"Later we went to that inn again. But because it took so long, the waiters at that inn had all been replaced, and the shopkeeper was not in the inn that day, so there were very few things that could be found."

"The shopkeeper only knew that there was a fight between two people. Everything in the room and the windows were broken. He also repaired it, so he remembered it."

"Later, we followed that person's living habits to look for him, but we couldn't find him again."

"It's very possible that that person knew we were looking for him, so he changed his habits and hid himself."

Emperor Mingxi's voice turned cold: "Your leader is so good at martial arts. That man was able to escape from his hands."
