Chapter 625: Something Happened in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, Murong Xuanji and Xuanque Ma Bu
Murong Xuanji and Xuanque rushed to the Eastern Tang Kingdom non-stop, and after arriving at the capital of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, Murong Xuanji looked at the heavily guarded capital, which was completely different from the situation when she came before, which made Murong Xuanji, who originally planned to enter the palace directly to find Wei Yushu, hesitate, she and Xuanque came to a dilapidated house, planning not to enter the palace for the time being.
Finally waiting for dark, Murong Xuanji planned to quietly enter the palace after dark. But he was stopped by Xuanque.
"Master, you still don't know the situation in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, and you don't know what the situation in the palace is, so you better let me go." Xuanque looked at Murong Xuanji with a solemn face.
"No, I'm going to go myself." Murong Xuanji said very insistently: "I will personally enter the palace and hand over the letter to their monarch." ”
"But now I don't know the situation in the palace outside, it's too dangerous for you to go in." Xuanque said disapprovingly: "You promised the Nine Emperor Princes that they would go back safely, and I must let you go back safely." ”
Murong Xuanji knew that Xuanque was worried about his safety, so he said comfortingly, "I'll be fine." I have been to the Eastern Tang Kingdom with the Nine Emperor Princes before, and I also have some impressions of the terrain in the palace, so it is easier for me to find the emperor when I go in than you, you just need to wait for me outside the palace, and if I don't show up after an hour, you will enter the palace to find me again. ”
Seeing that Murong Xuanji seemed to have made a decision, Xuanque knew that no matter what she said, she couldn't change her decision, so she had to nod reluctantly. The two of them came to the palace together, and saw from a distance that the palace gate was heavily guarded, and it was difficult to enter directly, so the two of them went around to the other side, looking at the high wall, and did not know what kind of danger would be behind the wall.
"Master." Xuanque wanted to persuade Murong Xuanji to give up again, but she stopped her as soon as she spoke.
Murong Xuanji walked around the fence and whispered to Xuanque Xuanque: "You just wait for me here, if someone comes, there is a big tree over there, you can hide for a while." I wanted to go in. ”
Don't give Xuanque a chance to speak again, although the wall is very high, it is nothing to Murong Xuanji, he jumped lightly, and immediately used his light power to fly to the wall to take a look at the surrounding situation before jumping in.
Murong Xuanji relied on the memory of the last time he came to the palace of the Eastern Tang Kingdom to look for Wei Yushu's bedroom in the palace, and found that compared to the strict security outside the palace, the security in the palace was much looser, and after going to the wrong palace a few times, Murong Xuanji finally found Wei Yushu's bedroom.
Murong Xuanji walked briskly on the eaves, came to the roof above Wei Yushu's dormitory, lifted a few tiles and looked inside, and found that Wei Yushu was watching the folds in front of the desk, not only was there a few servants guarding and waiting, but even there were people guarding the door, Murong Xuanji looked at the situation, if he wanted to break in, he would definitely attract more people, just when Murong Xuanji hesitated to send these people so that he could go to see Wei Yushu alone, there was finally some movement inside.
"I want to watch the concert quietly, I don't need you to accompany me here, you all go down." Wei Yushu put down the fold and suddenly explained to those minions, those people did not dare to refuse, after leaving respectfully one by one, Wei Yushu's bedroom became an empty house, and it became much easier to enter at this time.
Murong Xuanji was just about to quietly go down from the eaves, and then go to find Wei Yushu, but heard Wei Yushu's voice speak again.
"Who is sneaking around on the rooftops. Since you came to my dormitory, why didn't you show up openly? Wei Yushu's tone carried a hint of sternness and vigilance. Just now when he was watching the recital, he felt some movement on the roof, so he quietly dismissed those minions.
"Uncle, it's me, Murong Xuanji!" Now that he had been discovered, Murong Xuanji no longer hid, and immediately quickly jumped into the house, closed the door and walked in front of Wei Yushu.
"Xuanji, how could it be you?" Wei Yushu never thought that the person who broke into his dormitory at night was Murong Xuanji, how could a person who should have been in the Beiming Kingdom be in the Eastern Tang Kingdom.
Murong Xuanji quickly glanced at Wei Yushu's room, took out the letter written by Xuanyuan Hao from his arms and handed it to Wei Yushu, and said with a serious face: "This time, I secretly came to the Eastern Tang Kingdom from Beiming Kingdom, and I asked my uncle for help with something important. ”
"What's the matter?" Wei Yushu glanced at Murong Xuanji suspiciously, took the letter and immediately opened it, quickly read the content of the letter, and asked with some surprise: "Hao'er hopes that I can send troops to attack the Western Qi Kingdom, why is this?" ”
"Actually, Fujun doesn't really want you to send troops to attack the Western Qi Kingdom, but hopes that you can force Emperor Chu to come forward through this method." Murong Xuanji explained to Wei Yushu, "Just as the husband said in his heart, now the Chu Emperor who has just ascended the throne is in our Beiming Kingdom, and we don't know what his purpose is, and we can't find out what his whereabouts are, so I hope that my uncle can send troops to attack the Western Qi Kingdom to scare them and force the Chu Emperor to come forward." ”
Wei Yushu just nodded slightly, put down the letter very calmly, and said helplessly: "I really want to help you, but I am afraid that my current situation is more than enough and not enough. ”
"Uncle, you are-" Murong Xuanji looked at Wei Yushu puzzled, suddenly thinking of what he saw when he came to the Eastern Tang Kingdom this time, and asked guessingly, "Is there something wrong with the Eastern Tang Kingdom?" When I came to the Eastern Tang Kingdom this time, I found that the atmosphere in the capital was very wrong, and the outside of the palace seemed to be more heavily guarded than in the palace. ”
Wei Yushu looked at Murong Xuanji approvingly, and said tiredly: "My eldest prince launched a mutiny to seize the palace, and I am now under house arrest by him in the palace. ”
Murong Xuanji's heart was shocked, but he quickly calmed down, this kind of thing will happen no matter which dynasty or generation, and the current situation in Beiming Kingdom is not much better, so he can understand Wei Yushu's current situation.
"Uncle, is there anything I can do to help you?" Although she was very anxious about the situation in Beiming Kingdom, but now that she saw that Wei Yushu was in difficulty, Murong Xuanji couldn't ignore it, she believed that if Xuanyuan Hao encountered the same situation, she would not hesitate to stay and help Wei Yushu.
"Now the palace is full of people from the eldest prince, not only I am under house arrest in the dormitory, but the queen and other concubines are also under house arrest in their respective palaces, and my people can't contact the outside of the palace, I hope you can help me contact the ministers outside the palace." Wei Yushu did not refuse Murong Xuanji's help, and the current situation Murong Xuanji was his only hope.
"Does my uncle have any trusted ministers? Since the eldest prince has the intention of seizing the throne, it is impossible for him to be the only one who plans these things, and I am afraid that he has already united some of the other ministers of the court. Murong Xuanji was more thoughtful, and asked Wei Yushu with a serious face.
Wei Yushu thought for a while, and finally thought of a person, turned around and took out a jade pendant from a box on the bookshelf and handed it to Murong Xuanji, "You take my jade pendant to the general of Zhenguo, he has always been unaccustomed to what the eldest prince does, and the most important thing is that he has a military medal in his hand, you tell him about my situation, and he will know what to do." ”
Murong Xuanji held the jade pendant tightly, nodded firmly at Wei Yushu, and said worriedly, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, you leave quickly, although I sent those minions back, but my dormitory is still watched, you must be careful when you leave the palace." Wei Yushu reminded Murong Xuanji.
"I see. You wait for my news in the palace, and I will get you out. Murong Xuanji nodded firmly at the guard Yushu, and then quietly left the palace.
Xuanque, who had been waiting anxiously for Murong Xuanji outside the palace, saw that she finally came out safely, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, are you okay?" ”
"Xuanque, you go and inquire about what kind of person the Great General of the Eastern Tang Kingdom is, and by the way, find out what the situation is here?" Murong Xuanji couldn't care about himself, and immediately ordered Xuanque.
"Yes!" Although Xuanque didn't know what Murong Xuanji's purpose was in doing this, he didn't care that it was already late, so he immediately went to do what Murong Xuanji explained.
Murong Xuanji didn't rest all night in the house, waiting for Xuanque to come back, and it wasn't until noon the next day that she saw her come back tiredly.
"How's it going, what's going on with your investigation?" Murong Xuanji couldn't wait to ask.
"The protector general of the Eastern Tang Kingdom is a very old-fashioned and stubborn person, and he is very self-assured, and he never disdains to form gangs, and he has offended many people, but he is loyal to the monarch here, because of a dispute with the eldest prince in the court, and then he did not see guests at home because of illness." Xuanque didn't dare to tell Murong Xuanji everything that was missing.
"So where is he now? Is it still in the capital? Murong Xuanji thought for a while, and felt that the Great General of the Protector should not be in the capital, if he was in the capital, it would be impossible for him not to know the current situation, and he would not be indifferent.
Sure enough, Xuanque shook his head and said, "No, he is now recuperating in a small village dozens of miles away from the capital." ”
Murong Xuanji thought for a moment, and explained to Xuanque with a solemn expression, "I have to go to him immediately, you stay in the capital to keep an eye on the situation here, once something happens here, and I can't rush back in time, you must rescue the emperor here, do you know?" ”
"Master." Hearing Murong Xuanji's explanation, Xuanque, who had been uneasy, looked at Murong Xuanji even more uneasily, knowing that things were even more serious than they had expected.
"We're pressed for time, I can't explain much to you, you remember my words." Murong Xuanji picked up his sword and wanted to go out as he spoke.
Although he was uneasy, although he was very worried, Xuanque did not persuade Murong Xuanji again, and after seeing her leave, he thought about it for a while, thought of what she had explained, and soon left the place where he lived.
Murong Xuanji rode a horse to the small village that Xuanque said, there are not many people here, and it can be seen from the expression and eyes that the people here are very simple. Murong Xuanji led the horse and walked around the village, looking around for the general of the Zhenguo Kingdom.
