"What are you all doing to eat, and you actually let the assassins rob the Queen Mother! Waste, all waste! ”

With the identity of the emperor's new celebrity, Li Mu came to the emperor's bedroom all the way unimpeded, and heard the emperor's roar from a distance before he entered the door.

Seeing Cao Zhengchun and the others kneeling on the ground trembling, Li Mu hurriedly came in to greet him and said, "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" ”

"Li Mu, are you back? How's your business going? ”

At night, the palace was actually assassinated, and his own mother was actually robbed, and such a poor defense system made the emperor furious. The assassin has the ability to rob the queen mother, so naturally he also has the ability to rob the emperor. I feel more and more that Li Mu is right, building up your own strength is the most important thing. When he saw Li Mu coming back, the emperor's face softened a little.

"Your Majesty! The matter of the elixir, Weichen already has eyebrows, and please rest assured that the emperor is assured. ”

Sensing Cao Zhengchun's surprised gaze, Li Mu continued: "Weichen heard about the assassins on the way here, and these assassins are really bold enough to rob the Queen Mother. But after all, the incident happened suddenly, and Gonggong Cao was dedicated to protecting the emperor, and his protection of the queen mother may be a little worse. Besides, Gonggong Cao has always been loyal, and I hope that the emperor will look at the old feelings, so he will spare Gonggong Cao this time! ”

Seeing that Li Mu tried his best to defend him under the emperor's anger, Cao Zhengchun's gaze at Li Mu changed from unexpected to much kinder.

Cao Zhengchun controls Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and his power is too great, and the emperor is just scolding. If you want to move seriously, the emperor actually doesn't dare, and now that he has Li Mu under the steps, he said to Cao Zhengchun: "Okay, you get up!" How the Queen Mother disappeared, you can tell me clearly. ”

With Li Mu's maintenance, the emperor's anger disappeared a lot, Cao Zhengchun thanked Li Mu with his eyes, and explained to the emperor: "The slave heard the secret call of the police post in the middle of the night, and knew that an assassin had broken into the palace, so he rushed out. Unexpectedly, he fell for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and although the slave killed seven assassins, five masters still broke into the Cining Palace and killed the eunuch and the palace maid. By the time the servants arrived, the Queen Mother was no longer in the palace. ”

Cao Zhengchun was full of nonsense, and the emperor was impatient to listen, so he interrupted and asked, "Have you caught it alive?" ”

"Three people were caught, but they all died from their bite and poison sacs."

Nonsense, or nonsense! Cao Zhengchun didn't have a useful sentence in his mouth, and the emperor was so angry that he didn't bother to pay attention to him at this time, so he could only sigh helplessly: "What person? Who in the end ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to rob the queen mother! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the capital, the palace robbed the queen mother. According to Li Mu's thoughts, this queen mother has no conflict with these forces in the palace, it is estimated that it was not Cao Zhengchun or Zhu Wuzhi who did it, and it should be an external force, so Li Mu asked: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Cao, Weichen is not in the palace during this time, can there be foreign forces in the capital?" ”

With Li Mu's reminder, the emperor and Cao Zhengchun seemed to have thought of something at this time, and they were shocked at the same time, and said in unison: "Princess of Izumo Kingdom? ”

"By the way, Karasuma next to the princess of Izumo is a first-class master, and her strength is no worse than that of a minion. It is estimated that the kung fu of those accompanying guards will not be much weaker. Your Majesty, if you want to talk about foreign forces, this Izumo country is the most suspicious. ”

"Then you immediately gather soldiers and horses for me, surround the post house for me, and save the Queen Mother safely." Hearing Li Mu and Cao Zhengchun's analysis, the emperor figured out all the joints at once, and it was suspicious that this Izumo Kingdom would have come to marry. Now that the queen mother was robbed, the emperor immediately pointed the finger at the other party.

Although he didn't know what it meant for Izumo Kingdom to kidnap the Queen Mother, seeing that the emperor was angry and causing chaos, Li Mu hurriedly persuaded him: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry." If the Queen Mother is really in the post house, our team of people and horses will rush over, and it is inevitable that the other party's dog will jump over the wall and hurt the Queen Mother's phoenix body. Your Majesty, according to Weichen, it is more appropriate for us to think about it in the long term and secretly send someone to rescue the Queen Mother. ”

can't let Li Mu be in the limelight alone, Cao Zhengchun on the side also comforted at this time: "Your Majesty, what Lord Li said is very true. According to Master Li's plan, you can also avoid leaking the rumors, if you let the world know that the Queen Mother was robbed, the royal face will be lost. ”

"You two have a point, just do what you say!"

After listening to Li Mu and Cao Zhengchun's advice, the emperor sat back on the dragon bed, untied a token from his waist and handed it to a eunuch waiting beside him, and ordered: "Come, take my dragon protection order, and summon the Iron Courage God Marquis to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

"Wait!"

Hearing that the emperor was going to summon his rival to Beijing, Cao Zhengchun immediately spoke out to stop him: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the palace are the responsibility of Dongchang. In the opinion of the servants, don't bother Lord Shenhou! ”

Cao Zhengchun thought carefully, the emperor didn't know anything, but the emperor smiled and said: "The god marquis is my imperial uncle, how can you not tell him about such a big thing as the queen mother being robbed?" Besides, this Dragon Guardian Villa was created by the first emperor, and it is a secret agency to protect the loyal ministers of the royal family, and I believe that their masters will not fall for any more tricks to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

There is competition to have motivation, and the purpose of summoning the Iron Courage God Marquis into the palace is to let Cao Zhengchun and Zhu ignore each other. The emperor had made up his mind, and after sending away Cao Zhengchun and other eunuchs and palace maids, he said to Li Mu: "This Cao Zhengchun is really becoming more and more presumptuous, and my decision will not allow him to refute it." Li Mu, now that there are no outsiders, you tell me about your achievements these days. ”

So, Li Mu reported to the emperor in detail how he contacted the Songshan faction and how he recruited Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang. When he heard that Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang were both first-class masters, and their strength was not much worse than Cao Zhengchun, the emperor was overjoyed, but he wanted to let these two enter the palace to meet immediately.

However, in the past few days, with the help of Jinyiwei, in Hengyang Fox fake tiger power, Li Mu clearly realized that the emperor's strength was still weak, so he persuaded him: "The emperor wants to see them, naturally it is their honor." But in Weichen's opinion, now is not the time to be exposed. Compared with Cao Zhengchun's factory guards and Zhu Ignorance's Dragon Guardian Villa, our strength is still very weak. Now you have to be careful in everything, otherwise it will not be good to startle the snake and arouse the vigilance of these two forces. ”

Li Mu's words do make sense, and now is not the time to get carried away. Stopping the urge to meet and adjusting his mentality, the emperor calmly ordered: "Li Mu, it was really inconvenient for you to pretend to be a Jinyiwei before. For the sake of your great merit this time, I will seal you a brocade cloth and a thousand households, an official of the fifth grade, not big or small, presumably Cao Zhengchun will not mind. Tomorrow morning, I and Cao Zhengchun Zhu ignored the countermeasures discussed in Ming, you are secretly investigating the Queen Mother, you can act cheaply. ”
