In Dongfu, Mrs. You couldn't help crying with joy when she heard from her maid that King Dongping was defeated and the rebellion was finally over.
Jia Zhen heard this and asked quickly.
"What's the matter?"
"I heard from the maids that the imperial court has posted a notice on the street outside. The chief culprit, King Dongping, has been executed, and the rebellion has been put down."
Hearing this, Jia Zhen smiled happily. During this period of time, the capital city was in chaos. Not only that, but even the maids and servants in the house were a lot more angry, and they did a lot of things that were both overt and treacherous.
"Does the old lady know?"
Jia Zhen took two steps in place and asked again.
Youshi thought that there were quite a few people from the West Mansion going out to buy things. Since the East Mansion had received the news, there was no reason why the West Mansion could not receive it.
So she said: "The specific situation is not clear yet, but the Xifu side purchased a lot, and the two houses also went out at the same time. Now that we know it, the Xifu side should have received the news."
Jia Zhen nodded.
"That's true, but we still have to go. Now that the rebellion has been successfully suppressed, the court will certainly reward you, and the family will also celebrate. You can inform Ronger later and ask him to take his wife there with him."
Speaking of Jia Rong's wife, Jia Zhen's tone changed slightly, but Youshi's mind was not here at the moment, so she didn't notice it. Of course, she might have noticed it, but for Jia Zhen, Youshi had long given up hope.
On the other side, in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Chu Xuan looked at the old Taoist priest who had arrived late with a gloomy face. He didn't sleep all night last night. He was just released at dawn today by Emperor Mingkang. From now on, he will
Why, he has lost count now.
"Old god, shouldn't you explain why those things appear in my house?"
Taoist Miaomiao narrowed his eyes when he saw Chu Xuan looking to blame.
"Your Highness, are you questioning Pindao?"
Chu Xuan slapped the table, furious.
"Old Taoist, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"If you hadn't promised me in the first place, how could I have gone to the palace? King Dongping was not in his Jia Chun's house, but instead appeared in mine. Shouldn't you explain what happened?"
Thinking that because of this incident, he was frightened in the imperial study room, how could Chu Xuan feel comfortable?
If it was really because of this incident that Emperor Mingkang thought that he was having an affair with a foreign enemy, then everything would be in vain after that.
"Jia Qi is still alive and in the capital."
Taoist Miaomiao didn't talk nonsense to Chu Xuan, but his light words were like thunder, causing Chu Xuan's expression to change again.
"Your Highness, which one do you think is more important: an empty Marquis Mansion or a Marquis who sweeps all around the country?"
Chu Xuan looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him and found that he didn't seem to be lying. His eyes began to flicker for a while.
If it was really because of the discovery of Jia Qi that the old Taoist left, then it would not be an exaggeration.
They plot against Jia Chu and want to eat up the other party's power. The premise of everything is that Jia Chu is not in the capital. Even though Jia Chu is just a person, the pressure he brings is even greater than that of the big snow dragon cavalry army.
.
If he really waits for Jia Chun to return safe and sound, given the other party's temperament, he will definitely not give up. Old Taoist Miao Miao has also mentioned to him before that Jia Chun is not an ordinary person. He is well versed in the way of cultivation. Over the years in Jiubian,
Zhan feeds Zhan, and his own strength is extremely terrifying.
In the capital, even the secret guards can't stop him. If the other party doesn't play by the rules, then I'm afraid not a single person will be left alive in his mansion.
Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Taoist Miaomiao continued: "Your Highness, you and I are not fools, and neither is the emperor. The scene of a thief shouting to catch a thief is not something that His Highness can do given his nature. The Emperor is very clear about this."
"In addition, a forbidden object like thunderbolts happens to appear in the mansion. Do you think the emperor will believe it?"
After hearing Taoist Miaomiao's analysis, Chu Xuan frowned slightly.
Perhaps he was a fan of the authorities, so he did not think of these things. If Emperor Mingkang really suspected him, he would never have been released, and he would have been under house arrest long ago.
"Has the old immortal found Jia Qi?"
Chu Xuan, who calmed down, asked again after a moment of silence.
Taoist Miao Miao's eyes darkened. Compared to what happened in the Hou Mansion and here, the most unacceptable thing for him was that after a night of searching, no trace of Jia Yu was found.
"The old Taoist followed the qi movement to Xuanzhen Temple, but searched for it all night without success."
When Chu Xuan heard this, his eyes changed. He searched all night but failed. Could this old Taoist priest be joking?
"Xuan Zhen Guan?"
Suddenly, Chu Xuan seemed to remember something. He had heard of this place. It was funded by Ning Guo Gongfu and the eldest master Jia Jing seemed to practice here, and Jia Qi seemed to be from Ning Guo Gongfu.
"But the one funded by Duke Ningguo's government?"
Taoist Miaomiao nodded.
If he hadn't considered that connection, he would have returned to Beijing directly at that time.
"If that's the case, then it's really a coincidence."
That place is not far from Beijing. It is a secluded place suitable for recuperation. It was built with funds from the Jia family. For various reasons, if Jia Qi was really injured, which place would be his first choice, but also his first choice?
Most likely.
"Then what good advice can the old god teach me next?"
Taoist Miaomiao pinched his goatee and did not dwell on the fact that the search was unsuccessful.
When it was time to show up, Jia Qi had to show up, and he also had a plan. He wanted to verify one thing: whether Jia Qi's appearance this time was to lure the tiger away from the mountain, or whether he accidentally leaked his energy.
In addition, the other two princes in the capital also had their own plans. These days would be very interesting, so he only said four words.
"Just wait and see what happens."
...
"I heard that Lao Wu came to the palace yesterday and said that the Champion Hou's Mansion colluded with King Dongping and intended to rebel. The Imperial Forest Army surrounded the Champion Hou's Mansion, but in the end they found King Dongping in his own palace, along with a batch of thunderbolts. It’s quite interesting!!”
The second prince, Chu Qian, was teasing the recently purchased parrot with a small stick in his hand, the sarcasm on his lips was self-evident.
"The fifth prince is still a little younger. The collusion with King Dongping is not tenable in theory. Speaking of it, the reason why these three princes rebelled was that Jia Chu killed the three princes. It was almost difficult for both sides to To harmonize the life-and-death feud, besides, to pacify King Dongping and kill the Snow Dragon Cavalry together, the cost is too high, and it is impossible for the Marquis Mansion to do it."
"Lao Wu seems to be impatient. Unfortunately, he still underestimated the strength of the Hou Mansion. In the end, he stole the chicken but lost the rice in order to make a joke. If the father hadn't known clearly in his heart, Chu Xuan didn't have that ability, otherwise he would be like this today. The prince can’t go back.”
