Chapter 260: The Jade Seal Disappears
At this time, in the post house, he sat on the side with a gloomy face that day, and with his feminine temperament, he felt a little chilly.
A young and handsome man came in, knelt directly on the ground, frowned and said, "Lord Wang, the emperor has made a move on us, and today's incident is their trap." ”
After Xiao Chen heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, and said slowly: "Since that's the case, then this game is more interesting."
The man stood aside, not speaking, his eyes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Yan Qing, I'll leave this matter to you, don't let this king down." Xiao Chen looked at him, full of trust.
The man named Yan Qing saluted, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said respectfully: "Yan Qing has never disappointed the prince, and this time naturally he will not disappoint the prince." ”
That confident attitude has become conceited, but in Xiao Chen's eyes, it is full of appreciation, I have to say that this Yan Qing does have reassuring capital.
After Yan Qing left, Xiao Chen lowered his eyes, but the expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made people a little scared.
The night was sleepless, and it passed slowly, although Xiao Chen was a vassal king in a different place, he was still a courtier of Zhaoyue Kingdom, so he had to go to the court.
Xiao Rongze was high up, the corners of his mouth lost that gentle smile, the whole person was cold, he looked around, all the ministers lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to look at this new monarch at all.
He is not a fledgling emperor, but already a national teacher who makes everyone have to obey, such an emperor is what makes people even more frightened.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if there is a book to play today"
The voice was extremely cold, as if it was going to freeze people there, and everyone shivered, but they didn't know what to say
And at this time, Xiao Chen took the initiative to stand up, with a sad look, and knelt directly on the main hall and wailed: "Your Majesty, it's only been a few days since I came back, and some people are already unaccustomed to it, last night the assassin actually sneaked into the post station, isn't this naked to frame the ministers?"
In a word, many people's faces changed abruptly, and everyone knew that last night's assassin was heading towards the post station, but no one stood up to explain that they didn't expect Xiao Chen to stand up by himself.
Xiao Rongze stared at the person kneeling in front of him, looked at him with a smile, and asked softly after a long time: "I really don't know, it turns out that those assassins are heading towards the post station."
Xiao Chen raised his head, his face was full of bitterness, and he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, even if you don't know, I will also come to sue you, this is related to my own reputation and life, I have to be cautious."
Xiao Rongze nodded, but suddenly he sneered, and the anger on his body couldn't be hidden, and he said angrily: "I'm really not you, how can someone frame you for no reason, you are the great prince, the king of a foreign domain, and I am just a wild man in the deep mountains who are wandering outside, and now I inherit the unification, you can't look past it, are you talking about it?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Rongze, without a trace of begging for mercy, but said very calmly: "If the emperor thinks so, then even if he kills me, why bother to ask me again"
For a while, Xiao Rongze's face was gloomy and uncertain, Xiao Jue looked at this scene, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with the eldest emperor, please investigate thoroughly"
Xiao Rongze was suddenly surprised, looked at Xiao Jue in disbelief, and asked after a long time: "Xiao Jue, do you know what you are talking about?"
Xiao Jue nodded unswervingly, and said: "The younger brother naturally knows what he is talking about, but the emperor doesn't know what the younger brother said it for?"
All of a sudden, the tension was tense, and the atmosphere dropped to the extreme, and now the autumn is crisp, which is the time of coolness, but it makes people feel the cold forest for no reason.
The king and the emperor face each other, at this time, their best way is to disappear in front of their eyes, if they are accidentally implicated, it is certain death.
"Haha, okay, the word side by side king is really planning for Zhaoyue Country all the time, and he has issued an order to give a word side by side king a hundred taels of gold" Xiao Rongze suddenly laughed, but looking at Xiao Jue's eyes, it gradually became cold.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Rongze and said sincerely: "Thank you fourth brother for helping." ”
Xiao Jue nodded indifferently, but heard Xiao Rongze say: "After the next dynasty, the two of you will go to the imperial study with me." ”
Next, there is a book to play without a book to retreat, and it is extremely easy.
The three of them returned to the imperial study together, Xiao Rongze dismissed all the subordinates, watched the eyes of the two gradually deepen, sighed, and said helplessly: "You all know about yesterday's suicide, and I don't want to hide anything, so I'll tell you the truth, the jade seal is gone."
"What" The two of them said in unison, looking at Xiao Rongze in surprise, full of disbelief.
Xiao Rongze sighed and said, "I also hope that this is fake, but this is the case, in a hurry last night, I put the jade seal in the imperial study, and it disappeared early this morning." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Rongze's whole person was a little decadent.
Also, the jade seal is a symbol of the entire dynasty and a symbol of power.
"Big brother, it's true that I'm not here today, but when this happens, I'm also anxious" Xiao Rongze looked at Xiao Chen and called him big brother for the first time.
Xiao Chen was also anxious at this time, but said: "Since those assassins have fled to the post station, then let's go and investigate carefully, after all, the matter of the jade seal is related to the national body, and we must not be careless." ”
Xiao Rongze nodded, looking helpless: "I naturally know that this matter is big, but because there is no reason, it will be like this today in the court, and I really didn't expect to let Xiao Jue destroy it." ”
When Xiao Jue heard the complaint, he couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "The younger brother doesn't know, this is the trouble, please punish the imperial brother."
Xiao Rongze sighed, waved his hand, and said helplessly: "Where can I blame you for this matter, everything is my fault, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Xiao Jue lowered his head, thought for a while, and said to Xiao Chen: "Big brother, this matter is a big matter after all, can you be wronged and let the emperor go to the post station to search?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Jue and squinted, the cold light in his eyes was beating, but his face was hesitant.
Xiao Rongze looked at Xiao Chen, and there was gradually a trace of doubt in his eyes, Xiao Chen saw it in his eyes, so he had to salute and say: "Since this is the case, then the emperor will go up and search."
Xiao Rongze smiled slowly, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, I thank the eldest brother." ”
Xiao Chen sighed silently in his heart, but he didn't say a word.
It has always been him who has been yin against others, but now he has reversed, which is really infuriating.
All of a sudden, the Imperial Forest Army in the palace was quickly mobilized, and everyone couldn't help but put themselves in danger.
It seems that this time, it is necessary to find out the results, otherwise it will be too difficult to convince the public with the means of the new emperor.
After a full day, it was still fruitless, and the Imperial Guards returned disappointed.
Xiao Rongze just sighed, and didn't say anything about not letting those people go down.
Xiao Chen looked at the sky and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, Weichen will leave the palace." ”
Xiao Rongze didn't stay, just nodded, and Xiao Jue then said: "Since that's the case, the minister also went down." ”
Seeing that Xiao Rongze had no objections, Xiao Jue and Xiao Chen left.
Along the way, the two couldn't help but be silent, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, Xiao Jue said lightly: "Big brother, don't blame you for today's incident, after all, the matter of the jade seal is a matter of importance." ”
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Jue dissatisfied, and asked lightly: "Do you believe that the jade seal was really lost?"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jue, who was left thoughtful, got into his carriage directly and went to the post station.
Xiao Jue watched this scene silently, slowly showed a smile, and said to himself: "If the jade seal is lost, it is lost, how can you not believe it?"
When he arrived at the post station, Yan Qing greeted him in person, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's heart trembled, there were not many things in the world that could make Yan Qing anxious, so he had to hurry up.
When he arrived at the room and made sure that there was no one around, Yan Qing slowly took out something from his arms and put it on the table in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's expression froze, but he immediately opened the thing, and the whole person was stunned.
Dragon-shaped jade, the base is a seal, the color is bright, gently held in the hand, heavy and abnormal, this thing is not a jade seal
Xiao Rongze said that the jade seal was lost, and he suspected that it was fake, but now looking at the jade seal in his hand, he really believed it.
"Why is there such a thing" Xiao Chen's voice trembled unconsciously, this is what he has been longing for in this life, and now that it is in his hand, how can he not be excited and how can he not tremble
Yan Qing frowned and said slowly: "It was taken by his subordinates in the hands of yesterday's assassins. ”
"Good, get good." Xiao Chen nodded again and again, stroking the jade seal in his hand, he was so loving and pitiful that he didn't dare to use his strength at all.
"Haha" Xiao Chen laughed wildly, and couldn't stop saying: "Who would have thought that this thing would still return to my hands after going around, this is enough to show that I am the true dragon son and the master of this world"
Yan Qing looked at Xiao Chen with some concern, hesitated for a while, and still said: "Lord Wang, this jade seal is too strange, otherwise we will return it to the emperor."
Xiao Jue suddenly turned his head and glared at Yan Qing, hugged the jade seal in his hand, and said frantically: "Don't you think, since the jade seal has already arrived in my hands, don't think that someone will take it from my hands again, unless I lose my life."
Yan Qing couldn't help but sigh when he saw him so persistent, if he had worked hard to get this thing, he wouldn't feel anything, but such an important thing as the heirloom jade seal was so simple to obtain, he couldn't help but tremble.
I'm afraid, this thing is a curse rather than a blessing
