Chapter 699 - Beheaded at the Shock
"What? Behead him! Why is this!" Chi Zhongtian was shocked. He never expected that what he was most worried about would happen.
"Actually, it's nothing to lose the battle. His Royal Highness Prince Qing was captured by thieves, so it's not impossible to solve the matter. But, alas, it's all Lu Gui's fault. He's too straightforward. The emperor didn't even say a word, but he just kidnapped Qing.
When the story of the king's arrest was told, you didn't know it at that time. The eyes of the civil and military officials in the court almost dropped. If it was told in public, where do you think the emperor's face should be? So, he was punished in a fit of anger.
Lu Gui and Li Guang were charged with failing to lead the troops and failing to cooperate with each other, alas."
Yongmen Zhen sighed several times after speaking, which was enough to show that he was very distressed at this time.
"Oh! Why is Lu Gui so impatient?" Chi Zhongtian said, stamping his feet repeatedly.
"Who knows, when he first came to court, Lu Gui's first sentence was, His Royal Highness Prince Qing was arrested, what good plan does the Lord have? Don't you think this is obviously seeking death?" Yongmen Zhen said.
Hearing this, Chi Zhongtian suddenly thought that on the way back with them, he seemed to have mentioned accidentally that he would go ahead and talk to the emperor first.
It's just that Chi Zhongtian can't remember whether he said this or not, but there is one thing he must have said, that is, when he goes to court in the morning, he will say a few good words for the defenders in southern Xinjiang.
When Lu Gui made this request, Chi Zhongtian was quite moved.
But no matter what, Lu Gui shouldn't have said it directly before the emperor had spoken.
"Master Taifu, I'm going to see the emperor now!" Chi Zhongtian turned around and left.
"Hey, nephew Chi Xian! Don't be impulsive." Yongmen Zhen grabbed him.
"What's the use of going to see the emperor? Let me tell you clearly, even if Lu Gui didn't say it out loud today, the emperor would not spare him afterwards. Think about it, if the prince is kidnapped, everyone in the world will
What do you think? If all this responsibility is put on His Highness Prince Qing, wouldn’t it make the royal family lose face? Therefore, someone must come forward to take the blame. Now as long as Lu Gui and Li Guang are killed, it can be said that these two
It was because people failed to assist King Qing that King Qing was captured. In this way, the royal family’s face can be saved.”
After Yongmenzhen finished speaking, Chi Zhongtian immediately said: "At this time, without thinking about how to solve the problem, I actually thought about killing people to shirk responsibility and save face for myself! This is impossible! The emperor will never do this, Lu Gui
Although I and Li Guang made mistakes, they will never lead to death. I must go to see the Holy One!"
After saying these words, Chi Zhongtian immediately turned around and ran out quickly. Yongmen Zhen and Yongmen Zidi had no time to react. When they reacted, Chi Zhongtian was gone.
"Quick, go find the king immediately and ask him to enter the palace quickly. I'm worried that Chi Zhongtian will be in danger this time!" Yongmen Zhen is so sophisticated that he can think of the possibilities in an instant.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Yongmenzi Di also knew that the matter was urgent, so he went to Prince Zun's Mansion without stopping.
After Chi Zhongtian left Taifu's Mansion, he didn't even ride a horse, but ran all the way towards the imperial city.
After arriving outside the imperial city, after revealing his identity, he followed the imperial guards and walked into the imperial city.
When he arrived at the inner gate of the palace, Chi Zhongtian couldn't go in and could only stay outside and wait.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, the news came from the imperial guards that the emperor was a little tired and no one was allowed to see him.
After Chi Zhongtian heard this, he did not go back, but stood there and shouted: "Why don't you let me see you! I have something urgent to report to the emperor!"
"Bold! This is a forbidden area of the palace, how dare you make such a loud noise!"
A guard came over immediately, stood in front of Chi Zhongtian, pointed at him and shouted at him.
Chi Zhongtian was in a bad mood at this time, and he didn't know why. Anyway, he was very impatient. Now that he saw someone dared to point at him and shout, he couldn't suppress his anger immediately.
"You're looking for death!"
Chi Zhongtian suddenly grabbed the guard's hand and pulled it hard. Then he quickly thrust his right foot forward and kicked him several feet away.
"Someone is coming! There is an assassin!"
No matter who it is, as long as they take action without permission in the palace, they are assassins.
Soon, dozens of guardsmen surrounded him.
"Get out of my way!"
Chi Zhongtian suddenly shouted loudly, then jumped into the air and kicked out with his legs quickly, almost hitting someone with each kick.
Although these imperial guards are much more powerful than ordinary sergeants, they are still far behind Chi Zhongtian.
After Chi Zhongtian quickly knocked down these people, instead of scaring them, he attracted more guards to rush over. Looking at the formation, there were hundreds of them.
At this moment, a rough voice suddenly came over: "Stop!"
As soon as the voice fell, the imperial guards who were rushing this way stopped.
Chi Zhongtian turned around and saw a general in armor walking slowly towards this side.
After he came to Chi Zhongtian, he first frowned and glanced at the Imperial Guards who fell on the ground, and then said in a bad tone: "General Chi, you are so majestic."
Chi Zhongtian snorted coldly and replied without fear: "As big as I am, no one dares to point at my nose and yell."
"You understand, this is the palace!"
"You also understand that people in the palace can be so arrogant?" Chi Zhongtian counterattacked tit for tat.
This person seemed not to have expected that Chi Zhongtian was so courageous, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Long Yun, the commander of the imperial guards, has an order from the emperor to invite our majestic General Chi to meet him in his study room."
"snort!"
Chi Zhongtian hummed again, and then walked forward quickly.
When he arrived at the imperial study, the emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair, in the same posture as last night, with his head in his hands.
"Your Majesty!" Chi Zhongtian knelt down and saluted.
"Get up." The emperor's tone was still so dull.
"This is the imperial palace. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you cannot run wild here." The emperor said calmly.
"Tell me, you are so angry, yelling and hitting people, what do you want from me?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something."
"Just ask."
"I heard that the two generals Lu Gui and Li Guang who just returned from Lijiang City are going to be executed?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
