Chapter 274 - Cangfeng Imperial Court

The cyan figure didn't stop for too long, just casually glanced at the scene in the passage, and continued to raise his feet and walk up the passage behind him that climbed up little by little.

They had seen eight passages along the way, and all of them were the same width in comparison, and all of them were silent.

There are many differences, such as the length of the passage, the bottom passage is dozens of zhang long at a glance, and this is just to see, you must know that this building is circular.

The eighth passage they saw now was only five zhang long. The figures standing are denser than those in any of the passages below, and can only be vividly described by the idiom rubbing shoulders with each other.

There is also the temperature, the temperature at the bottom is colder than the outside, and the longer you walk, it can also be said that the temperature rises rapidly when you reach the higher part of the building.

By this time, the backs of the three men were dark, and a thick white mist rose from them and disappeared into the passage.

The trio continued to walk upward, a stretch of road that took much longer than walking from the seventh passage to the eighth.

After turning a right angle that has not been encountered since entering the building, a dark yellow rope bridge appears, which does not fit in with the surrounding solid walls.

There were two men holding hands at the mouth of the rope bridge, and their swords were in their hands.

The two men finally did not look like stone sculptures of the people below, and when the three of them saw them, they stood in the middle of the passage, raised their heads and looked directly at the three of them: "No token, no see!"

The cyan figure pulled out a cyan token from his bosom and threw it at the man on his right.

The man caught the eye and threw it into the open space on either side of the rope bridge, then stood aside and closed his eyes.

The cyan figure must have been here, and it was not strange to raise his feet and walk inside.

The two people who crossed the passage stepped on the rope bridge, and a wave of heat rushed to the soles of their feet. My eyes couldn't help but open a little, because the rope bridge was dark all the way before, and there was an orange-red light.

Neither the cyan figure nor the two gray figures paid much attention to the fiery sight beneath their feet, their attention being hung from the cage in mid-air by an iron chain the thickness of an adult's waist.

The cage is one zhang in length, one zhang in width and one zhang in height, and there is an exit only in the direction of the rope bridge.

They didn't know what this cage was made of, but when they entered the cage, they only felt like they were hiding from the scorching sun under the shade of a tree blown by the summer breeze, and they couldn't help but stop to adjust their various senses.

After feeling that the body is back to normal, pass through the passage that is only two steps wide, and within the passage is a room with an unobstructed view of everything in the room.

On the top are chains, and on the east side is a black bed, the same color as the wall, not to mention the bedding, not even straw.

In the middle was a black table, one of the only things in the room, with a mountain of books piled up.

There's no one in the room?!

"How?"

The cyan figure suddenly spoke and walked towards the black bed.

"Not dead yet. ”

The mountains of classics shook off, and a figure sat up from the table, waiting for the light above to spill on his face, isn't this Huang Hexuan who is dominating in Liaodong?

The cyan man lifted his hat, and it was an unfamiliar face, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was somewhat similar to Miao. The sideburns are white, and there are many white strands of hair on the head.

"You really don't plan to join forces with me?"

He looked at Huang Hexuan with disappointment and regret in his eyes.

Huang Hexuan stepped on the ground and walked to the bed. The two gray figures only took a step, and the old man waved his hand at the two.

Huang Hexuan sat in the other corner of the bed and slowly looked up at the iron chain above: "Where is my sister?"

"Now that you can't protect yourself, are you still thinking about Queen Sakurong?"

"People like you will never understand, you just need to tell me where my sister is now, or-"

Huang Hexuan suddenly turned his head and stared at the old man's eyes: "Is she still alive now?"

The old man didn't react much to the eyes of the generals who could make the generals who led 100,000 troops tremble just by squinting slightly.

"I don't know. ”

"How could you not know? Do you think I didn't know you were involved in that incident?"

Huang Hexuan's eyes widened, and there was bitter hatred in his eyes. I hate the person in front of me, and I hate my own powerlessness.

In the eyes of many people, he is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, a brother and sister of the queen's half-father and mother, and a general who dominates the battlefield.

But in the eyes of some people, he is just a grasshopper jumping happily. And the person in front of him happens to be one of those people.

If you know the history of the Cangfeng Dynasty, you will know that many dynasties have been born in the territory that Cangfeng now controls.

Not much to say in the past, in the last four dynasties, including Cangfeng, the royal family arose in the place controlled by the ancient capital, that is, the nomadic area.

The first three dynasties not only rose similarly, but even the reasons for their demise were similar, all because of a rebellion under the rule of the ancient capital, and then the rebel thief set himself up as king, and then the south ruled Cangfeng.

It's not that there is no dynasty that doesn't want to solve the hidden dangers in that part of the ancient capital, but it is a minefield, and it has become a dangerous area that cannot be dropped, and whoever touches it will die.

The most recent imperial court was because it touched a minefield near the ancient capital, which led to the failure of the court.

"This king is just doing his own thing, and he is not directly involved in that matter, and this king has no reason to attack you at that time. ”

Huang Hexuan stopped talking and lay on his back on the bed. The old man got up and walked in front of him, looked at him decadently, and frowned: "Do you know that since this king told you about this, you only have two ways to go, one is to submit to me, and the other is when you get out of the prison of Gaitian, that is, when you die." ”

Huang Hexuan glanced at the two gray-clothed men at the door, and showed a weird smile: "Get out!"

The old man in Tsing Yi's face was blue and white for a while, and looking at Huang Hexuan's eyes, he kept flashing with murderous intent.

Huang Hexuan was not afraid, but laughed happily: "Hahaha-do you feel this feeling of grievance?Do you feel that you can't stand in front of you with a thousand cuts, but you can't move him in the slightest?"

The old man nodded vigorously, and suddenly flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Go!"

After speaking, the old man should leave the cage first.

Seeing the three of them disappear at that right angle, Huang Hexuan looked up at the sky, but the look in his eyes had disappeared from anger, only prayer and hope: "How is the plan going?"

......

In the Imperial Palace, a palace with an imposing layout, the first seat was seated, and below him there were several men sitting upright.

They are not wearing official uniforms, but eunuch uniforms!

"What do you think of the situation here?"

"Wei Chen thinks that he should find a way to release General Yufeng, no matter what, he used to be a royalist faction in the eyes of the civil and military officials in the two capitals. Although after the disappearance of Empress Sakurong, he began to disobey the emperor's orders very much. ”

"That's right, if he is beheaded under the emperor's nose, I am afraid that many hesitant officials will fall to the side of the ancient capital, and it will shake the confidence of the royalist faction!"

"Huang Hexuan has been fighting for many years, and he already has his own group of loyal generals, and most of his generals are in Liaodong, if he is killed at this time, Liaodong may have a shock. ”

He shook his head slightly: "I never thought of killing Huang Hexuan, but how to rescue him? ”

Before they could come up with a solution, a eunuch shouted loudly outside the door: "Your Majesty, 100,000 people from Liaodong are in a hurry." ”

Miao and several eunuchs were stunned for a moment, and then they were all a little excited, and they waved their hands at a few people, and several people kowtowed to Jian Wei a few times, and walked into the curtain behind Jian Wei.

After tidying up her appearance, she picked up a book and opened it before she spoke: "Present the letter." ”

"Yes. ”

The eunuch who delivered the message thought that he was very stealthy and looked up at everything in the room, but he did not know that all his actions were in the eyes of the miao.

A murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then vanished.

After receiving the letter and newspaper presented by the eunuch, after reading it, he couldn't help but be happy, and quickly hid his joy, with a gloomy face: "Order the hundred officials to go to the Gonglian Palace, and I will be there in a while." ”

"Yes. ”

......

Even after reproduction is repeated too many times, people will choose to escape, not to mention such a boring thing as going to court over and over again.

What makes hundreds of officials even more annoyed is that the last dynasty is boring, and it is very likely that if you go to this dynasty, your head will be gone.

But even if you don't want to go to court, you have to go to court, and the emperor is on call to go to court.

That's why not long after leaving, the hundred officials who haven't returned to their homes have gathered again with the Gonglian Palace.

When he entered the Gonglian Palace, the officials inside were still discussing in a low voice what had happened.

"The emperor has arrived. ”

The hundred officials immediately saluted: "See the emperor." ”

He sat down in his position, didn't go through those procedures, and directly said what he was going to say: "Last night, the Guangwu army of the Tianfu defense line poured out, and overnight, Liaodong was captured by more than half of them, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"What?!"

"The Guangwu army of the Tianfu defense line poured out?"

"Didn't you say they were in the midst of civil strife?"

"I can't believe it, but it's happened, and I'm going to ask you how to deal with it. ”

The people who spoke for Huang Hexuan before walked out of the queue again: "Weichen thinks that only Lord Huang can deal with this matter. ”

"All the contents of the impeachment of the ancient capital are nothing more than chasing after the wind and shadows, please Your Majesty will be clear! If Lord Huang really has the heart to do anything rebellious, how could he not stop when he received the edict and only rushed back with a thousand horses?"

"Please let Lord Huang rush to Liaodong immediately, and the lower official promises with his life, if Lord Huang does something sorry for Your Majesty and sorry for Cangfeng, the lower official will definitely cut himself!"

The hundred officials were all shocked, and then looked at the person who spoke, and it turned out to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites - Zhongsun Jun.

In other words, among the hundred officials, according to reason, the most unlikely to have anything to do with the generals should be the Ministry of Rites, and as far as they know, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu does not have any too much intersection with Huang Hexuan, what is going on?

The eyes of many officials suddenly lit up, and then they became entangled and looked at the black-clothed old man standing at the front of the civil officials.

The old man closed his eyes, as if blocking out the noise in the hall. That's right, this old man in black is the old man in Tsing Yi who appeared in Huang Hexuan's cage before.

Soon, however, more and more officials joined the crowd urging Mr. Huang to release him.

He looked at the old man who was still meditating with his eyes closed, and asked in a respectful tone, "Uncle Huang, what do you think should be done about this?"

The old man opened his eyes, his eyes were dim, and he shook his head: "Your Majesty thinks it should be as it should be, Weichen is old, so he won't mix it indiscriminately." After the dispersal of the dynasty, Weichen went back to the ancient capital. ”

Xuan Wei nodded: "Ordered Gaitian Prison to release Huang Hexuan, and when he stepped out of Gaitian Prison, all his positions before entering the prison were restored, and he was ordered to rush to Liaodong immediately." If we really can't hold Liaodong, we must not let Guangwu attack our homeland!"

"Yes!"
