Chapter 696 - Facial Saint in the Late Night
"Brother Chi? It's really you! I thought they heard wrong!" Yongmen Zidi hurriedly walked out.
"Brother, the matter is really urgent, so I apologize for disturbing you late at night," Chi Zhongtian said.
"Brother Chi, what are you talking about? Come in quickly!" Yongmen Zidi said, and stepped aside.
"Brother Xian, these men of mine have followed me all the way here. I don't want to look for an inn at this late hour. Can you see if you can arrange a few rooms for them to rest first. They have been traveling for several days."
Before Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, Yongmenzi Di immediately said: "Look at what you said, this is a big deal! Come, please clean up a few clean guest rooms quickly, and let someone get some food and drink.
Send it over, quickly!"
As soon as Yongmenzi Di finished speaking, two servants quickly ran inside.
"Thank you very much, dear brother!" Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.
"There is no need for this word of thanks between the two of us, come in quickly."
After Chi Zhongtian followed Yongmenzi Di in, Yongmenzi Di first asked his servants to arrange for others to rest. He knew that Chi Zhongtian came in the middle of the night and there must be something urgent, so he called Chi Zhongtian to the study alone.
After arriving in the study room, Chi Zhongtian suddenly became nervous.
"Is Master Yongmen here?"
Yongmenzi Di shook his head and said, "My father went out for a search last night and will probably come back tomorrow night. What's wrong?"
"Alas, something big happened." When Chi Zhongtian heard that Yongmen Zhen was not there, he sat on the chair and said with a sad look on his face.
"What happened? What happened? By the way, where did you come from?" asked Yongmen Zidi.
"From Lijiang City!" Chi Zhongtian replied.
"Lijiang City? Oh, the emperor sent you there? Tell me quickly, how is the war going?"
Chi Zhongtian smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know who is the leader of the army to quell the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang this time?"
"I know, His Highness Prince Qing!" Yongmenzi Di said quickly.
"Well, it's His Royal Highness Prince Qing. He was kidnapped." Chi Zhongtian said silently.
"What!" Yongmenzi Di stood up suddenly, his face immediately turned pale.
"Prince Qing was captured, and the person who captured him was a spy sent by the enemy to Lijiang City." Chi Zhongtian repeated it again.
Yongmenzi Di listened to it again, but still felt as if he was dreaming. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room several times. After feeling that he was almost awake, he asked: "Prince Qing was arrested... Is the news accurate?
?”
Chi Zhongtian shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no right or wrong. Many officers and soldiers saw the capture of King Qing, and almost all the sergeants in Lijiang City knew about it."
"Then does the emperor know?" Yongmenzi Di then asked.
"I don't know. We just arrived in the capital tonight and came to your place immediately. There are two generals who came back with me, one is named Lu Gui and the other is named Li Guang. Do you know them?" Chi Zhongtian said.
Yongmenzi Di nodded and said, "I know, Lu Gui is a fierce general."
"I came to you today just to discuss it with you. Do you think I should communicate with the emperor in advance?"
After Chi Zhongtian said this, Yongmenzi Di immediately asked doubtfully: "What, you don't plan to say it when you go to court?"
"My dear brother, if King Qing is captured, the soldiers in southern Xinjiang may not be able to escape the blame. If I tell the Holy One rashly at the morning meeting tomorrow, in that case, the Holy One might kill those two generals. So, I think
Why don't you talk to the Holy One first, so that the Holy One won't be able to accept it later?"
As soon as Chi Zhongtian said these words, Yongmenzi Di Deng's eyes widened. In his opinion, how could Chi Zhongtian, a martial arts man, still think about these things now.
"Brother Chi, you are really thoughtful." Yongmen Zidi sighed.
"I'm not thoughtful. This time in Lijiang City, I saw a lot of things and learned a lot of things. I can only tell you that the reason why King Qing was arrested was definitely not because of the incompetence of the generals, but the reason was a bit complicated.
, I can’t tell clearly for a while,” Chi Zhongtian said.
"Then, Brother Chi, when do you plan to see the Holy One?" Yongmen Zidi asked.
"Without further delay, I want to go now." Chi Zhongtian replied.
"Now?" Yongmen Zidi muttered, stood up and went outside, glanced at the sky, then turned around and said: "It's almost midnight now, the Holy One must have rested long ago."
"I can't care anymore. I have to go there. Brother Xian, I have to ask you to take more care of my subordinates." Chi Zhongtian said and stood up. Apparently he had made up his mind.
"Brother Chi, don't worry. In addition, I think you can go find His Royal Highness." Yongmen Zidi said.
"It's better not to do it. It's better to tell the Lord about this matter alone. After all, it is not a glorious thing." After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he quickly left.
He first found Ye Luo, put on his general uniform, and then rode towards the imperial city alone.
When he was still one mile away from the imperial city, Chi Zhongtian was stopped by the imperial guards.
According to the rules, once the time of Xu has passed, the entire imperial city will be under martial law and no one can approach it.
Chi Zhongtian revealed his identity to them, and then said that he had something urgent to report to the emperor.
Those imperial guards don't care who Chi Zhongtian is. No matter how urgent you are, they won't let you in at this time.
Seeing that the Imperial Guards were not allowed to do so despite all their earnest words, Chi Zhongtian had no choice but to take a step back and hand over the long-written document on his body to the Imperial Guards.
Maybe it was because of Chi Zhongtian's identity, or the guards had already heard about it and knew what kind of role Chi Zhongtian was, so they agreed.
Chi Zhongtian waited until the imperial guards left, but did not leave. Instead, he stayed where he was and waited. He believed that as long as the emperor saw it, he would definitely let him face him.
Sure enough, Chi Zhongtian guessed it right.
Half an hour later, just when Chi Zhongtian was about to despair, the imperial guards sent a message, asking Chi Zhongtian to go to the imperial study room to meet him.
When Chi Zhongtian came to the imperial study room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, holding his head in his palms, and his face could not be seen clearly.
At this moment, there was a serving eunuch standing inside. When the eunuch saw Chi Zhongtian, he turned around and whispered: "Your Majesty, General Chi is here."
After hearing this, the emperor raised his head slightly.
Chi Zhongtian hurriedly took the opportunity to walk in, knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, I wish you all to see Chi Zhongtian late at night."
