Chapter 309

Liu Xin and Wang Zhan walked along the women's wall at the head of the city, chatting in a low voice. Liu Xin suddenly saw a young captain with a halberd in the distance, carefully checking the details of each forbidden army's standing posture.

"Who is that man? Why haven't you seen him?"

"He is my deputy, transferred from the border army, and has joined the forbidden army for less than half a year!"

"Oh, no wonder you look so strange! Can you trust it?"

"Don't worry about this steward. You can trust him!"

"What's his name? It's not easy to sit on your deputy so young?"

"The boy's name is Li Dong. He has some real skills and good performance! I dare not use such an important thing today if I don't know the bottom!"

Naturally, he can't say that he became his deputy because the other party gave him a lot of benefits.

"During this time, your forbidden army has been tossing about a lot. Many people don't recognize it!"

"That's true! In the past two years, the generals in the forbidden army have changed very quickly. It's not easy to sit down!"

Being replaced due to being involved in various things; Being transferred to the southwest... And other reasons, the middle-level generals of the forbidden army have almost changed more than half of their faces.

"Do you know why Dazhu state has to make temporary adjustments this time? What part of the forbidden army is stationed in the palace city?" Liu Xin stopped and asked in a low voice after the two men came to a relatively quiet corner.

"How can I know the idea of Dazhu kingdom? However, you may not believe it. There are two brigades stationed in the palace city, one is me and the other is the Jiazi brigade subordinate to the left palace forbidden army!"

"Hehe? How could you have such luck?" Liu Xin's eyes lit up and he really couldn't believe it.

"Don't say you don't believe it. At first, General Guo thought the order was wrong and went to the Yamen to ask."

"Since they are all our own people, that's the best!"

At this time, Li Dong came to the two people. Liu Xin gave Wang Zhan a vague look, and then whispered, "I said everything I should say. Whether I can make meritorious contributions and receive rewards depends on the nature of you and my brother!"

Wang Zhan glanced at Li Dong, nodded slightly, and replied in a low voice: "don't worry, Wang knows what priorities are, and there will never be any carelessness. Just wait for it to be done and have a good drink with manager Liu..."

……

In the house of the interior cell.

Zhang Zhou learned to calculate the time outside according to the patrol of the guards! Although he was anxious, he could only wait patiently, waiting for someone to take him out again and drive himself to the forbidden army station in the front hall!

However, the first thing he waited for was not the footsteps of his "recovery of freedom", but the sound of fierce fighting from behind his cell wall!

The prison of the house of interior is also divided into two floors above and below the ground, but it is not as transparent as the prison of Wushen town. Instead, it is divided into distinct areas with walls and locked in them for a lifetime. You may not guess who is imprisoned behind the wall! This is also the reason why Zhang Zhou didn't see other prisoners after he came in!

The sound of fighting was extremely fierce, and the smashing walls roared, which greatly increased Zhang Zhou's vigilance!

He ruled out the possibility that someone beat the prisoner or the prisoner was crazy. Xiaoyingzi said that because the prison of the interior government guards the interior, once something comes out, it will disturb the noble people and blame them. The person in charge of the guard will be punished!

At ordinary times, if the prisoners are not tied firmly and their mouths are blocked, they will not be executed! For those prisoners with manic behavior, you don't dare to make a noise or just kill them directly

In short, those who can be locked up here basically belong to high-quality people who are "polite and do not disturb the residents".

The sound of fighting is definitely a scuffle, and they all maintain the mode of "Silence". No one shouted!

The wall of the prison was fragile after all. After several impacts, a large number of cracks appeared on the wall, and then it roared again. The wall was directly hit and collapsed into a big hole, and a figure fell into Zhang Zhou's cell!

Zhang Zhou saw that the man was actually an officer on duty. After confirming that he was dead, Zhang Zhou hurriedly looked down the big hole. The light was dim and the shadows were flickering. He couldn't see the truth, but many people were dressed in the clothes of an officer of the interior government, and the guy who was besieged was the most eye-catching. He was a tall man in war armor, who showed great vitality, Although there are a large number of officials and officers, they can't subdue the people who wear armor!

Zhang Zhou didn't know the depth and didn't dare to participate blindly. After all, I am a good young man waiting to wash my identity and have a bright future. It won't be long before he can go out from the front door, frankly accept the charm of the outside sun and continue to enjoy the beautiful time of life. Therefore, he soberly warned himself that he must not be confused and make trouble for himself.

It seems that the officer is in a hurry and finally makes a noise!

"Zhao Qijue, do you want to rebel?"

"Oh, son of a bitch, I'm afraid it's you who want to rebel?"

"We are ordered to interrogate you. If you dare to resist the order, you are not afraid of the Holy Lord's anger, which will trap you here all your life..."

"How dare you play tricks in front of the king! When the king goes out, you will have to kill all the rebellious thieves!"

"Since you don't listen to advice, don't blame us for being rude, Archer!"

Zhao Qijue heard the other party calling the archer. She didn't dare to delay. She caught an officer and smashed directly at the door of the cell. After forcing back a group of officers, she rushed out to the corridor!

But the other party had already prepared. Seven or eight archers had guarded one end of the corridor. They couldn't help saying that, regardless of whether they had their own people or not, they directly opened their bows and arrows, forcing Zhao Qijue back again!

Just then, someone shouted behind him.

"Your Highness King Jing, come here quickly!"

……

Lu Xiaoyi led a team of bodyguards to the prison in a hurry, but at the gate, he was stopped by a eunuch in charge.

Lu Xiaoyi didn't know each other and didn't give each other a good face. He was a relative of the emperor, and he still carried out the emperor's secret order. Do you need to be a eunuch with you?

Holding the token in his hand, Lu Xiaoyi flashed in front of the eunuch and said angrily, "you are ordered to mention someone, get out of the way quickly!"

"Order? Hehe, where is the order?"

Unexpectedly, the eunuch didn't care about him at all. He didn't mean to move at all.

Lu Xiaoyi suddenly became angry. This was the most proud time of his life (of course, the stabbing didn't count). How could a eunuch dig his face like this!

"Don't you see the token?"

"See, that's just the sign of the Imperial Guard, not the imperial edict!"

Lu Xiaoyi also gave oral instructions. He wanted to swear, but he finally controlled his emotions.

"Where's your manager?"

"I don't know who is in charge!"

"No? He was still on duty here yesterday, and he has always been in charge of the prison!"

"Oh, manager Yu! Oh, what a coincidence. He has returned home this morning!"

……

"Why haven't the prince and Linlang arrived yet?" Zhao Qianyuan asked softly.

"Qiying, he has entered the palace!" the queen saw that Zhao Qianyuan looked unhappy and hurried to say.

"Hum! Hong Xi, send someone to see what's wrong. If they really have something more important, they don't have to come!"

Hong Xi hurriedly replied that he turned and sent a small eunuch to inquire.

"It's getting late, so you don't have to wait for him. Empress, follow me to the temple first!"

The queen was anxious, but she had to nod!

The chariot battle team was already ready. Zhao Qianyuan invited the queen to go with her. The vehicle is a winter carriage dedicated by Kyushu commerce, fully enclosed! It is also a rare opportunity for the couple to be alone in such a completely closed small space.

"Your Majesty, Qiying must be delayed for some reason. Please your majesty..." the empress who got on the carriage explained to Zhao Qianyuan.

Everyone knows that Zhao Qianyuan was angry just now! However, the Queen's explanation did not get Zhao Qianyuan's forgiveness! I heard Zhao Qianyuan say without hiding his anger: "what can he do? Is it more important than my birthday sacrifice? It's clear that he doesn't pay attention to me..."

Dignified tone, even the accompanying people around the carriage felt frightened and had to be more careful, lest a little carelessness would be involved by the emperor's anger!

Over the past year, Zhao Qianyuan's temper has become more elusive. Many eunuchs have been punished and their whereabouts are unknown. Even Hong Xi doesn't know where those people were finally taken. Otherwise, as a newcomer, how can Bai Qi get the opportunity to serve the emperor?

Bai Qi's head is low. He can only see the road for fear of being affected! Hong Xi glanced at him, his face expressionless, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a slight upward tilt that could not be checked.

However, in the carriage, Zhao Qianyuan's hand gently grasped the Queen's rouyi, his eyes were gentle and nodded slightly. The queen leaned on Zhao Qianyuan nervously and stopped talking!

Zhao Qianyuan closed his eyes slightly, as if he were nourishing himself

The carriage stopped, and Hong Xi's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the temple is here!"

Zhao Qianyuan opened his eyes and said softly.

"Let's start!"

……

Zhao Qiying entered the palace early and stayed in a small courtyard dedicated to his rest and waiting for orders. According to the plan, he was going to sacrifice in the imperial temple with his father, the emperor and his mother.

He was anxious to open the window. The snow outside had covered the ground with a thick layer.

"Someone!"

A little eunuch hurried in.

"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

"What time is it now? Why haven't you seen your father summoned!"

"This slave doesn't know? Otherwise, I'll ask you now?"

"Go!"

The little eunuch hurried out. Because he was worried and the heavy snow covered the road, he fell and fell several steps away!

Zhao Qiying frowned and sighed gently. Just about to close the window, she suddenly stopped, then pushed the window open again, looked at the thick snow on the ground, was stunned for a little time, and then ran out of the room directly.

There were also several eunuchs serving outside, who quickly surrounded them.

"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

"Get out of the way, the king is going out!"

"Your Highness, never! Your majesty asked you to wait here. If you leave without permission and miss the summons, what should you do?"

Zhao Qiying stared angrily at the eunuch who was talking.

"If you don't get out of the way, the king will kill you now!"

Several eunuchs were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and the head eunuch begged repeatedly.

"Your Highness, spare your life, slave. It's for your sake! Just wait!"

In the palace, no one can bring a sword except the bodyguard. Zhao Qiying is no exception, otherwise Zhao Qiying will take a sword and cut this guy!

This is a small courtyard for the prince to wait and rest. Eunuchs usually take care of it very carefully. It's absolutely necessary to clean it immediately when the leaves fall. It's snowing so heavily today that you can fall down if you are careless. What does it mean that no one comes to clean it?

Although Zhao Qiying was stared at by Zhao Qianyuan and dared not do too much, she could still feel that something would happen! Zhang Zhou was condemned to death. He asked to see his father, but he couldn't see him! Today's father's birthday is also a great opportunity to intercede for Zhang Zhou. It was already time, but he didn't see the summon. He was inexplicably anxious, and the eunuchs in front of him clearly wanted to trap themselves here. How can he not be angry!

The more you think about it, the more angry and uneasy you think about it, Zhao Qiying directly kicked over the eunuch opposite, and hurried out!

Several eunuchs also panicked, got up and wanted to come up to block, but because the road was slippery and their skills were not as agile as Zhao Qiying, Zhao Qiying fell far behind in the twinkling of an eye, but Zhao Qiying was blocked by several people who came in outside before he walked out of the door!

The leader was a eunuch, followed by several bodyguards. The eunuch gave Zhao Qiying a simple bow and said, "Your Highness, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"The king is going to see his mother! Will you stop him?"

"What does the crown prince want to do? How dare the slaves stop? But today is your Majesty's birthday. There are many outsiders in the palace. The safety problem can't be careless. The crown prince is so rash. In case of any mistake, the slave's head can't be saved. Please forgive us for our hard work as slaves!"

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"

Not only the eunuch, but also the bodyguards behind him, Zhao Qiying has never seen him.

"The servant is the new consul in the bodyguard!"

"Where's Duke Wei? Call him to see the king!"

Duke Wei is the eunuch in charge of the bodyguard.

"Duke Wei has been ill for many days. If your highness needs it, I'll help your highness find him back, but now please stay here. Don't be impatient!"

Without waiting for Zhao Qiying's reaction, the eunuch ordered several bodyguards behind him: "remember, after I leave, you must protect the safety of your Highness the prince. If something goes wrong, make sure your head falls to the ground!"

Several bodyguards took command in unison!
