Including the masters of the Forbidden Army, there were three groups of people chasing behind Bian Liuyun. Such movement was not too small.
Today, during the Lantern Festival ceremony in the city, I witnessed so many strong men who were not easy to mess with chasing a woman. Naturally, there were people around who couldn't stand it. They went to inform the patrol camp that is now responsible for order in the city.
When the soldiers from the patrol camp hurried over, they were stopped by a group of masters from the Forbidden Army.
The patrol camp general looked serious and shouted loudly:
"What are you doing!"
Without saying a word, the leader of the Forbidden Army master took out his waistband, handed it to the general of the patrol camp, and said in a deep voice:
"Brothers from the patrol camp, please go back!"
The general of the patrol camp was slightly stunned. He looked at the badge of the Imperial Guard general in front of him. After confirming that it was genuine, he looked up again and looked ahead.
Then he saw a group of men in black robes in the deep alley. The strong men were pressed to the ground by the masters of the imperial army. They were prying open their mouths one by one and digging out the poison sacs hidden in their teeth with long knives.
Such a big movement made the patrol battalion general hesitate. He pondered for a long time and finally said:
"General, please forgive me. The patrol camp also has its own responsibilities. Can you tell me something about this matter?"
Regarding the current whereabouts of His Majesty, these Imperial Guards could not say anything more. They just shook their heads and said in a deep voice:
"We are involved in military affairs, and the matter is confidential, so it is inconvenient to express it clearly. From now on, the Forbidden Army will explain to your superior about many matters. Don't worry, brother, you haven't explained it to your superiors."
When the general of the patrol camp heard this, he hesitated for a while, then he clasped his fists and saluted, led the soldiers behind him to retreat, and led his soldiers to seal off the deep alley with great discernment.
In the deep alley, Xiao Cheng frowned slightly as he looked at a man in black robe lying on the ground covered in blood.
The Forbidden Army master on the side stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, except for the six men in black robes who you personally subdued, the rest of them had their pulses cut off and their bodies exploded to death. Not many of those soldiers had time to commit suicide, and most of them were restrained."
"Those men in black robes all committed suicide?" Xiao Cheng frowned even more.
Those who were caught were obviously from the military, which was not unusual.
On the other hand, these men in black robes are not simple.
Although masters of the sixth and seventh levels are not very rare, cultivating these warriors is not easy.
The most important thing about using a master with this level of cultivation as a death warrior is that he has been trained very successfully. If this is true, then the power behind this is so deep that even Xiao Cheng is slightly frightened.
The master of the forbidden army hesitated slightly when he heard the words, with a guilty look on his face, lowered his head and said:
"Rather than committing suicide, it is better to say that they crazily squeezed their inner strength, and finally became obsessed with fire and died of exhaustion. When they first started to take action, the more these men in black robes took action, the more their rationality faded, and the more fierce and fierce they became.
He goes crazy like a wild beast, unable to control the internal force in his body..."
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly when he heard the words.
He also saw the crazy and ferocious look of those men in black robes when they took action just now.
Even though Xiao Cheng's current cultivation level is extremely advanced and rare in the world, he is the Emperor of Yun Kingdom after all, so naturally the imperial guards around him cannot be randomly selected.
These Forbidden Army masters are all at the sixth or seventh level of cultivation. They are also from the military and are proficient in the method of jointly attacking military formations. Although they are not many in number, they are definitely the best in the world. However, they are also a bit difficult to resist these black-robed men.
Fortunately, Xiao Cheng saw that the Forbidden Army was unable to resist, so he used the invisible finger power of Yiyang Finger to seal several masters among the men in black robes, so that the Forbidden Army suffered no losses.
Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment and then said:
"Take them back and check out the abnormalities on these men in black robes!"
He is not afraid of death or pain, he loses his mind when he moves his hands, he is like a ferocious beast, and his cultivation level is not low at all.
Xiao Cheng wanted to see what methods the forces behind this used to create such a team of people.
The master of the forbidden army nodded quickly, then pointed at the soldiers who had their poison sacs pried out, with blood at the corners of their mouths and unyielding expressions on their faces, and asked:
"Your Majesty, what about these people?"
Xiao Cheng showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said:
"Sent him to the Dongchang dungeon to be guarded. I would like to see how many cronies King Qi has brought for him to create!"
-------------------
In the state guesthouse, King Qi’s lips trembled and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Why did you let her go!"
Opposite King Qi, a beautiful girl dressed as a palace maid lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and said:
"Sister Bian has been teaching me music in the palace for several years and has a deep relationship with me. It was an accident that she pretended to be me. Why did the emperor have to kill her?"
When King Qi heard this, he was immediately furious. He looked at the real Emperor Rouning in front of him, his biological sister Yu Yingyao, then took a deep breath and said:
"It was indeed an accident that she pretended to be you. I am also grateful that she took the risk and cooperated with me to save you. Originally, after the assassination that day, Emperor Rouning of Xia Kingdom should have died. The blame was passed on to me, the people of Daxia,
Those warriors who are ashamed to negotiate peace with the Yun Kingdom, if I bear the blame for the inability to protect them, you will be able to escape. But who knows, because the group of monks from the Buddhist sect of the Yun Kingdom who are stupid in chanting Buddha and cannot distinguish the situation, actually
He also came to assassinate you, which caused the Yun Kingdom’s Longxiang General Nan Jiyun to come so quickly..."
Having said this, he stood up suddenly, paced back and forth in the hall, and said a little hastily:
"Due to all the previous preparations, you could only appear as a palace maid. In desperation, Bian Liuyun, who was hiding your traces in the camp at that time, had to take over the identity of Emperor Rouning. Nan Jiyun, is
A ninth-level master, the best in the world. Under the lock of his energy, unless you, the real princess, come forward, it is impossible to change Bian Liuyun's identity back."
If someone were to be substituted secretly, it would be impossible to escape the Qi lock of Nan Jiyun, a ninth-level master.
And if you give the Yun State court an explanation that they used a double because they were afraid of assassination, and then use another person to replace Bian Liuyun, it is impossible for the Yun State to believe it.
When that time comes, it is impossible for the Yun State not to investigate, and it is impossible for the Xia State Court to cooperate with King Qi in telling this lie. So unless Yu Yingyao, the real princess, comes forward, there is no other way.
"As for the marriage, let alone whether Bian Liuyun is really willing to enter the Yun Kingdom's harem. Even if she does enter the Yun Kingdom's harem, the secret will inevitably be exposed one day. Therefore, only she dies, and Emperor Rouning dies.
Now, only by dying under an assassin can you be safe!"
If this matter is exposed in the future, King Qi will definitely not be the only one who is unlucky!
For the sake of these four words "great country's dignity", who knows how Emperor Xia would deal with this, it should be his daughter who is in the harem of Yun Kingdom.
King Qi turned his head, looked at Yu Yingyao fiercely, and said:
"You are my sister. I cannot let you fall into death for a stranger... I have secretly mobilized many people and spent a lot of material and energy for you, but now you let her go...
"
Yu Yingyao raised her head, and in her pair of smart deer eyes, tears kept rolling and were about to fall.
The anger in King Qi's heart was immediately extinguished, and his words of instruction were stopped.
Yu Yingyao looked at King Qi timidly, and said in a slightly trembling, heart-melting voice:
"Brother, please don't be angry. My sister is willing to enter the harem of Yun Kingdom. The heirs of my royal family will enjoy the support of the people of Daxia. Now it is about peace between the two countries, and there should be no shirk!"
King Qi opened his mouth, then pretended to turn around and cursed:
"Fucking peace, Emperor Yun is so young and has such talent, how could he be trapped in Tiannan because of you..."
Having said this, King Qi suddenly paused, shrugged his shoulders, and felt helpless in his heart, and said with a trembling voice:
"I don't blame you, I can't blame you! Brother Emperor, I lost that battle, otherwise no matter what, it wouldn't be your turn to come to Yun Kingdom!"
Yu Yingyao looked at the imperial brother who had his back turned and did not dare to look at her, and his figure was full of dejection. He immediately raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, showed a smile and said:
"Brother, why do you need to say this? I can't help myself in the palace, and it's extremely difficult. When I get to Yun Kingdom, maybe there will be a place for me to do something. My mother once said that if I weren't there,
As a woman, there is no such thing as a group of royal brothers fighting over each other in the court."
When King Qi heard this, his fists were clenched and veins popped out, and his heart was even more sour. He did not dare to look back at his sister and said in a harsh voice:
"sorry……"
At this time, King Qi had never hated his arrogance so much.
If he hadn't thought he had everything under control before, was arrogant and careless, and was arrogant before winning, how could he have experienced what his sister encountered today?
Outside the hall, Feng Chu and Zhou Quan personally guarded the door to prevent anyone from secretly eavesdropping on the brother and sister's conversation.
Hearing the movement inside, Feng Chu turned his head slightly and looked at King Qi's current appearance from a distance, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved.
Zhou Quan on the side frowned when he saw this, lowered his voice and said dissatisfied:
"why are you laughing?"
When Feng Chu heard this, he blinked and chuckled:
"I'm happy because my chances of being able to grow old safely in the future have increased!"
Zhou Zhou’s face wrinkled and he muttered dissatisfiedly:
"I'm a rough guy. When you talk to me, can you please stop making all these twists and turns?"
Feng Chu sighed softly and said:
"I don't want to either, but I can't bear to eat His Majesty's food..."
"Look, you're saying things I don't understand, so I'm not happy to be with you people!"
"..."
--------------------------
Not far from the Xia Kingdom’s mission is the Li Dynasty’s mission.
Chen Liyan looked at the letter that had just been sent in his hand and frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The subordinates on the side saw this and couldn't help but asked:
"Major General, what's wrong?"
When Chen Liyan heard this, he shook the letter in his hand and said:
"It's just a little weird!"
"What's the meaning?"
"This letter was just sent by my father."
Having said this, Chen Liyan shook his head slightly and said:
"My father and I haven't communicated much since we were young. In the past, most of our letters were about talking about things, straight to the point. They were like official documents, not like family letters. But this letter is..."
Chen Liyan didn't know how to describe it. Since he entered the court as an official, the father and son have been unable to talk much about official matters due to the sensitive nature of their respective positions. Therefore, there is absolutely no topic or reason for them to write letters between them. In the past few years,
, there were only three or four letters written between the two of them.
In short, the reason why this letter is strange is that it does not seem to be written by his father.
In addition to proving that those men in black robes were indeed transferred by him, the rest of the letter contained some words of comfort and encouragement for him to work seriously. But the relationship between father and son, even when they were face to face, had never been like this.
Have spoken.
Hearing this, the subordinates on the side boldly took the letter and read it carefully for a long time before saying:
"Major General, I have followed the Taiwei for many years, and I am familiar with the Taiwei's handwriting. Whether it is the private seal on the letter, or the Taiwei's handwriting, or even the words that the Taiwei is used to leaving when he stops writing at the end.
There are also some ink spots. No matter how you look at it, these are all letters from the Taiwei!"
When Chen Liyan heard this, he nodded hesitantly and said:
"I know, I just feel a little weird."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Major General, today is different from the past. Having experienced the battle of Yongzhou and the battle of Xiushan County one after another, the Taiwei is now feeling quite depressed and uncomfortable..."
Two major defeats resulted in the loss of troops and generals, resulting in a great loss of national strength and turmoil in the society. Both the government and the public were criticized and cursed. After such a blow, one can only regard his family as his emotional sustenance, which is not incomprehensible.
Chen Liyan wanted to refute that his father Chen Feng was by no means someone who could be defeated after one or two failures.
But thinking of his father's emaciated appearance when they met before, he couldn't help but hesitate, his face looked a little heavy, and he nodded and said:
"I should be overthinking it!"
He paused and then said:
"How's it going over there?"
Hearing this, the subordinate quickly spoke:
"Those men in black robes have gone to track them down. There is absolutely no way they can escape... It's just that my subordinates don't understand. Didn't we always know that the woman is the fake emperor's concubine? Why do we have to spend so much money since we entered the Yun Kingdom?"
The price is to send someone to pretend to kill her? Why bring her back at this time? "
If Song Ci and the others heard this, they would be shocked.
Previously, they just thought that those assassins did not know Bian Liuyun's true identity and thought she was the real Emperor Rouning, so they kept sending people to assassinate her.
But this subordinate's words at this time made it clear that he also knew the identity of the fake princess Bian Liuyun.
But in this case, why did they lose so many assassins one after another?
When Chen Liyan heard this, he nodded and said:
"The original assassination was intended to find some force in the Yun Kingdom to frame it, so as to sow discord between the two countries and deepen the resentment between the two countries. That's all."
Having said this, Chen Liyan suddenly paused and said:
"But because the prince in Xia Kingdom has seized the throne, someone suddenly came to us, wanted to cooperate with us, and told us the ins and outs of this matter. Naturally, I wanted to make a big fuss."
"What do you mean, Major General?" the subordinate couldn't help but ask.
Chen Liyan looked indifferently and said:
"Continuous assassinations, assassinations by various means, everyone around her will kill her. Anyone who stays in such an environment will be overwhelmed. I thought that after that, I would let those in the Xia Kingdom mission send her away
Come on. I never thought that she is not a simple character, but she actually ran out by herself..."
Chen Liyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he clenched his fist and said:
"It doesn't matter whether her identity is fake or not, but at this time she is Emperor Rouning, the one who can enter the Yun Kingdom's palace and meet the young emperor of Yun Kingdom!"
When the subordinates heard this, they were suddenly shocked.
"Young General, do you want to use her to assassinate Emperor Yun?"
"I've seen the poison brought by the man in black robe, and it's very useful! As long as it attacks at the right time, it can make her lose her mind in the harem!"
The subordinate frowned and muttered:
"Although the Emperor of Yun Kingdom is young, his martial arts skills are there. Everyone in the world says that he is a master of the land of gods. How can a woman kill him?"
Chen Liyan nodded and said:
"It doesn't matter if you can't kill the Emperor of Yun Kingdom. Anyway, she is carrying the identity of the Princess of Xia Kingdom! If this thing is done, it will be much more useful than trying to provoke the two countries piecemeal!"
The subordinates on the side, their eyes lit up when they heard this, and they said with admiration:
"So that's what it is, the young general's plan is this, and the general will be convinced!"
At this time, Chen Liyan looked confident and confident, completely unaware that the plan he had put so much thought into had come to nothing.
Not to mention that Bian Liuyun had already been rescued by Xiao Cheng, but Song Ci and the others had already investigated the matter to every detail. This costly plan was bound to fail!
