- Hearing Shi Jing ask about this, Concubine De's face suddenly became full of doubts, and she shook her head slightly and said: This is the strangest point. According to Qing Xia's reply, although this shadow man is not masked, he seems to be wearing a mask on one side of his face. The material of the mask looked real and fake on closer inspection, ugly than the disguise, but more conforming to the skin of the face than the mask.

Oh...... Shi Jing raised his head slightly, he really remembered, and said calmly: He is the person in the fifth group, in fact, you have seen it a long time ago, but you don't know his identity.

Concubine De was stunned: When have I ever seen such a person?

There seems to be a general mask planted on his face, such a strange person, Concubine De doesn't believe that she will not leave an impression if she sees it. And if you think about it from another angle, I'm afraid she really doesn't have the opportunity to see such an ugly and weird face in the palace.

Shi Jing did not elaborate on this issue, he quickly turned his head back to the topic, and said at a slower pace: In short, I came here today, and all I want to say to you is a few words. Stop immediately, if you still can't stop wanting to do it, then wait at least another six days, maybe a few days longer, the key to time is to see when Li Gai leaves Beijing.

Li Gai is also leaving? Judging from Concubine De's expression when she spoke, it seemed as if she had heard the news for the first time.

I didn't expect Your Majesty to hide it from you. Shi Jing's gaze at Concubine De changed so fast that it was difficult to find traces, and as soon as Li Gai left, it was very likely that two of the five groups in his hand would be returned to His Majesty, or replaced by someone to lead him. In any case, in the days before and after he left, the inherent pattern of the five groups will inevitably fluctuate, and that time is the best opportunity to skip the eyeliner of the five groups.

After a slight pause, he added: Even if you don't say whether the five groups will make a mistake in the inside, just say that Li Gai will leave, which will weaken the strength of the five groups the most, and even His Majesty's side may be affected.

Thinking of her husband's safety, Concubine De couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Forget it. This is the first time that Li Gai has been in Beijing with His Majesty for thirteen years, and he has made a mistake in his shoulders. After sighing, she looked at Shi Jing and asked: Is it Qingchuan that you are going?

It seems that you are not completely unaware. Regarding Concubine De's question, Shi Jing nodded slightly to express his certainty, and he quickly continued: When the war over there is together, what happens in Kyoto again, as long as it is not directly related to His Majesty, then it is impossible for Lin Shan or Li Gai to withdraw halfway at this juncture.

Are you sure? was repeatedly tricked by Shi Jing, and Concubine De no longer fully believed what he said to him.

Anything that involves the military. They are all irrevocable as soon as the order is issued. To manage tens of thousands of soldiers. It is necessary to be disciplined like an iron command. Once they have set out, it will be impossible to return halfway. Shi Jing said this slowly, and his tone gradually cleared up again, but when they were about to set off, they hadn't set off yet. The various hidden guards in the capital are in the most sensitive stage, and it is best not to touch them at this time, otherwise in order to cut off the troubles, during this period, His Majesty will attack a heretic even more ruthlessly.

You must know that you have waited for more than ten years for the opportunity to get rid of that person, but your Majesty's determination to fight Qingchuan has been in your heart since he was still in the north, and at this time, he is more urgent than you, so he must not allow the slightest interference.

Concubine De gradually truly realized that if she made a rash move today. When the matter is revealed, what a bleak ending he may get. She couldn't help but feel a chill grow on her back, and a cluster of tiny tentacles was growing upwards, scraping her spine and making her shiver.

Maybe Wang Chinian is in love with her Xiao Wanting husband and wife. She will not be punished, but the result of squatting in the cold palace is certain. And if once she is imprisoned, she loses her status, and the killers she raised lose control, then all the things she has done before will probably be understood by the members of the five groups soon.

At that point, she didn't know if she was qualified to live in the cold palace, but might be thrown into the prison to be next to the rats—but it would still be a little better than the death of the wine.

Thinking of this, Concubine De had already clenched her teeth unconsciously, and she could even hear the sound of two rows of silver-like teeth polishing in her mouth.

Shi Jing looked at her frightened appearance, knowing that she had finally listened to his persuasion, and a stone hanging in her heart finally fell.

After a slight hesitation, Shi Jing softened his tone for the first time after saying so many words in this hall, and comforted Concubine De: Don't worry too much, stopping at this time will not make Your Majesty suspicious of you.

Concubine De suddenly sighed and muttered: Speaking of which, I should be grateful to Qingxia, if she hadn't changed my order without authorization, my people would have sent it out now, and I wouldn't be able to collect it carefully.

When she said this, the meaning of listening to the persuasion to stop was very clear.

Shi Jing saw that Concubine De's affairs had been completed, and he had a heavy official business, so he didn't have time to stay here longer, so he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, he remembered something again, stopped his footsteps and turned back and said: The shadow man you mentioned, I will pay attention to it after I go back, there are my people in the Commander's Mansion, and you don't have to worry too much about this. But your girl named Qingxia, she has looked at the person head-on, so she hasn't been going out lately. For the five groups, sometimes there is no difference between masking and not masking, and the same can be found in the crowd.

After Shi Jing said this, he raised his hand and lifted the horned hat on the cloak, covered his head, covered half of his eyebrows, and walked out quickly with his head slightly lowered.

The four people who came with the ten generals on this trip saw that the master came out, and without any instructions, they immediately let go of the guards of Concubine De who were clamped in their hands, and the four people followed behind Shi Jing in two groups, and the backs of the five people quickly disappeared outside the door.

After they were all gone, Concubine De slowly walked out of the hall, looked at the direction of the five people leaving, and was faint for a while.

Watching the prime minister leave from afar, Qing Xia, the last maid who was waved away by Concubine De in the hall just now, was the first to approach at this time, and asked respectfully: Master, what do you need the maidservant to do?

No need. Concubine De opened her mouth lightly, her eyes swept over the guards who were standing a little crookedly in the front yard, and there were still two people who fainted on the ground and had not woken up, her heart became a little impatient, and said: What's the matter?

Qing Xia, who was standing on the side, hurriedly explained: They just suffered some contusions, and there was no big problem. Xiangye's attendants have already shown mercy to their subordinates, and their little bruises are not superficial and will not arouse suspicion.

Qingxia herself has good martial arts, and she is a confidant maid that Concubine De trusts very much, after listening to her explanation, of course Concubine De will not question it, and she also saves an unspoken worry in her heart.

If these guards were beaten and their noses were swollen, and they even saw blood, she really had a headache how to take them back to the palace.

Cease...... Concubine De let out a sigh of relief, ready to end today's unpleasant trip outside the palace, and slowly instructed the maid Qing Xia beside her: Call the head of the guard to invite Mrs. Mu and prepare to return to the palace. But as soon as you got the word, come over and follow me and leave nothing else.

Qing Xia immediately agreed, bowed to Concubine De again, and then turned around and looked for the chief guard guarding outside the courtyard. I don't know if the prime minister's attendant didn't show mercy when he met with the chief guard who was guarding at the front, and beat him down or what, from the time the prime minister came here to his departure, the chief guard who had good martial arts never saw anyone.

If you can't control it, you can only destroy it directly!

Qing Xia said silently in her heart: I only hope that the master's trip outside the palace will be smooth, so I hope he is fine.

Deyi Building, No. 3 private room.

When Folding Sword came back from the Qingfeng Pavilion, he saw that there was actually a banquet in Room C. 3.

What is a banquet? To put it simply, several delicate carved small tables in the room were put together to form a large table with a somewhat uneven height, and then more than 30 dishes of all kinds of delicate side dishes were placed on it, which were so full that there was no place to put the wine cup.

Yo, it seems that the Lord has given you a lot of money to go out this time! Fold the sword closed the door, walked straight to the table and sat down as he spoke, and subconsciously reached out to find wine, but he soon found that between the delicacies of this large table, it was not that there was no wine at all.

He waved his hand a little consciously and boringly, and then lowered his arm and rested his palm flat on his lap, this sitting posture unconsciously revealed some of the aura of a general.

Looking at the few young people sitting around the table, Folding Sword smiled and said, "Did one of the two of you steal the bounty?"

Sun Jin and Wu Qinan ignored him. The two of them were shaking a sharp dagger in their hands, looking at the plate of hibiscus chicken in front of them, as if they were considering which chicken leg to break first; Another man is holding a bamboo chopstick and is eating a steamed osmanthus fish with his younger sister Jin Ling. In this way, even Jin Ling has no time to fold the sword.

Look at your eating appearance, are you rushing to eat the guillotine feast? Folding Jian's gaze swept over the more than thirty delicate dishes on the table in front of him, and he saw that most of these dishes were greasy and fatty meat food, and he regretted eating so many bean cakes before.

Such a sumptuous meal, even the New Year's banquet hosted by the sect cannot meet this standard. Folding the sword is a little skeptical, will the words he is used to speaking without restraint really become a prophecy?

With this thought, Folding Sword couldn't help but be secretly a little frightened.

At this moment, Fu Jian, who was sitting next to him, stopped chewing, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then took out an envelope from his sleeve, handed it to the folding sword, and said: This is the order conveyed by the envoy of the sect just now, you can also take a look! -
