Outside the champion house, the lights were brightly lit. Hearing some movement behind the door, the man guarding the door turned around and saw Cai Luan and Miao Yu coming hand in hand.
This was the original name in Jiubian. Men like them were afraid from the bottom of their hearts to this poisonous lady who could kill her with just one strike.
After all, no one knows if their food has been tampered with.
It was at that time that Cai Luan, the poison master, was given the title of lady by those rude men. Because it was inappropriate to call her madam, they did not dare to call her madam before Jia Qi opened her mouth. This habit has always been
continues to this day.
In a secret room in the Champion House, Taoist Miao Miao curled his lips and looked a little coldly, as if he was watching a farce.
"Is someone from the palace coming?"
When King Dongping saw the old Taoist's expression, he narrowed his eyes and asked aloud.
"Um."
Taoist Miao Miao nodded, and the palace would send someone. As he expected, he had been playing in the mortal world for many years, and he clearly understood the poison of power. No matter how much a person in power believed in his ministers, he would not care about such rebellious things.
A red line, an untouchable red line.
"Old immortal, there is something that I have always been very curious about. Logically speaking, the powers in the world should look down on people like you, right?"
He has already seen Taoist Miaomiao's magical powers. For such an accomplished Taoist, he doesn't understand why he still wants to get involved in worldly disputes.
"Hehe, you guessed it right. The old man really looks down on your power in this world."
Miaomiao chuckled, his voice was a bit hoarse, and his throat was like the bark of a tree rubbing against each other, which was extremely harsh. However, judging from the content of his words, the other party was not worried about revealing his thoughts at all.
"It's just that there are some things that are inconvenient for experienced people to do!"
After saying that, Taoist Miaomiao raised his head again and looked in the direction of the gate of the Champion Hou Mansion.
Hearing this, King Dongping's eyes moved slightly. He didn't know exactly what the old Taoist priest in front of him wanted, but it didn't stop him from suppressing another thought that arose in his heart.
If he can get help from the other party, he may not have the chance to make a comeback again, or even ascend to heaven in one step and become the emperor of this world.
For others, assassinating the emperor may be difficult, but for the other person, such a thing is just a piece of cake.
"Old fairy..."
King Dongping spoke again. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Miaomiao.
"Don't be wishful thinking. Opportunities have been given to you before. But when things come to this point, it means that destiny is not yours. It is useless to force it."
Taoist Miaomiao glanced at King Dongping. To him, King Dongping was no different from the mortals outside. If he hadn't felt that his identity was of some use, he would have left him to fend for himself.
When King Dongping heard this, he couldn't help but clench his hands. Destiny, since ancient times, destiny has not been decided by the final winner. If he breaks into the capital today, doesn't the destiny still belong to him?
Looking at the not-so-tall figure beside him, King Dongping hesitated and finally did not speak again. This old Taoist priest who looked extremely slovenly had already learned what his methods were when they first met. He rushed into the palace that day.
The soldiers guarding the tent were directly beaten into blood mist. In the eyes of the opponent, human life was despicable, even worse than that of ants.
Seeing that the other party had lost his voice, Taoist Miaomiao sneered in his heart. The other party's life was now in his hands. If the other party did not intend to cooperate, he did not mind telling the other party to shut up. Anyway, for him, all he wanted was a
result.
"I've seen the general, but I wonder what the general is talking about when he comes to the Hou Mansion at night?"
Wu Kuang was a little surprised to see that the visitors were two girls. After Jia Qi disappeared, the Hou Mansion kept a very low profile. In addition to this special period, the court did not want to cause trouble again, so it turned a blind eye to the Hou Mansion.
One glance and everything is fine.
"You can decide?"
Wu Kuang didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.
Cai Luan smiled softly when he heard this.
"General, are you joking?"
Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes. Faced with the scene before him, the woman in front of him was not afraid at all and could still talk and laugh. She was far better than those ministers.
"This girl, I respect this place as the champion palace, and that's why I have endured so far. Today, I have the emperor's mandate. If the palace continues to obstruct me for no reason, then don't blame me for being rude."
Cai Luan stood there with a calm expression and was not angry. When she came out, she had already discussed with Miao Yu to delay it as long as possible. Jia Qi should be aware of the situation here when he was in the Duke's Mansion.
.
Regarding this accident, whether to advance or retreat, we still need to listen to Jia Qi's wishes.
"The general also knows that this place is the champion's palace. I thought the general didn't know?"
"It's only been two hours since the battle of King Dongping ended. Who won this battle? Don't the ordinary people outside know, nor do the generals? The battlefield hasn't been cleaned yet? You sent troops to surround the Hou Mansion. You said
Is this what the palace means??”
Miaoyu stood aside and nodded slightly.
Cai Luan's temper was as explosive as carbon dioxide. At this time, he didn't lose his sense of control and directly cursed. Instead, he was reasonable and got to the point, which was good.
Wu Kuang sat on the horse and was speechless for a moment.
Cai Luan was right. In the defeat of King Dongping, the champion Hou Mansion contributed the most. It was still night and the news of the victory had not spread yet. The wealthy families in the capital may not know about these things yet, but as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army, he
I know.
When he first received the secret order, he was also confused. King Dongping was in Champion Hou? Was Champion Hou colluding with King Dongping?
If there was really collusion between the champion and the vassal king, then why did the champion's mansion send the Snow Dragon Cavalry to die with the opponent? Why not wait for the opponent to break into the capital and then reap the benefits.
There is another doubtful point. The crown prince of Dongping Prince died in the hands of the champion Hou Jiaqi. No matter what happens, Prince Dongping will never form an alliance with his enemy.
"I don't know exactly what happened. I have nothing but admiration for the Marquis. But today I will act according to the order and have no choice. The Lord has an order and the Marquis's residence needs to be searched. I hope you will forgive me."
"If the girl insists on blocking her, I will not force the door to open. But if she resists the order and is disrespectful, the girl should know what the consequences will be, right?"
Cai Luan was shocked when she heard this.
Ming Kang Emperor means, what does this old emperor want to do?
Just when Cai Luan was hesitant, a wisp of breath rose quietly from outside the capital. Taoist Miao Miao, who was staying in the Hou Mansion, suddenly opened his eyes. He licked the dry corners of his mouth and grinned.
