Zhong Bai wants to support Sheji, and it is reasonable to have such remarks.

At this time, Liang Yuan came up and said: "Childe, although the rebels have been destroyed, judging from the statistics after the war, the number of people is definitely more than this, presumably, there must be many thieves mixed into the people." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Bai thought for a while and said, "Wu Yuan's general trend has gone, these are expected, and it is not easy to investigate them at the moment." ”

As he spoke, he also looked at Xiao Yuan: "What does Brother Xiao think?" ”

"En......" Xiao Yuan pondered: "Let's block the four city gates first, the palace has been stolen in many places, these will be checked later, and in addition, notify Yuyang." ”

"Yes." Zhong Bai nodded submissively.

"Drive-"

On the official road leading from the imperial capital to Yuyang, a fast horse is galloping.

Inside Yuyang City.

Shang Rui, the Son of Heaven, was still holding a banquet and drinking, and he had already fled south from the palace, but he was really in the mood.

At the banquet, Prime Minister Dong Hua couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you really shouldn't lend the jade seal to Zhong Bai, if you don't succeed, the seal of the Son of Heaven will fall into the head of the thief, and when the time comes, how can it be good." ”

Hearing him say this, Shang Rui also regretted it a little, and couldn't help but say, "Oh, this is ...... When Zhong Bai said sincerely, I, I was also impulsive, so I agreed to him, what should I do now. ”

"Hey!" Dong Hua sighed.

It is not difficult to see how indecisive the emperor is, and he has no opinions of his own.

It's a shame that Zhong Bai asked to see him alone at the time, otherwise, if someone else is present and says something casually, I'm afraid Shang Rui will change his mind.

"Good news, good news~~~~~"

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in, then knelt on the ground and saluted, and said excitedly:

"Your Majesty, there is a battle report from the capital, General Xiao and Zhong Gongzi have successfully attacked the capital, not only exterminated the rebels, but also captured the thief leader Wu Yuan, Your Majesty!"

"What!?" When Shang Rui heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and after a while, in disbelief, he asked in a trembling voice: "Is this ...... Is that true!? ”

"Oh, Your Majesty, how dare the villain talk nonsense about such a military situation." The soldier said: "In addition, the two generals are also in the capital, welcoming His Majesty back to the capital. ”

"That's great!" After receiving the confirmation, Shang Rui first exclaimed in surprise, and then overjoyed: "I know, you can go down." ”

"No!" The soldiers saluted and retreated.

After he left, Shang Rui was so excited that he couldn't help but say to the ministers in the audience: "Did all the ministers hear it?" The traitor has been exterminated! ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty—" When the people heard this, they also shouted in unison.

"Okay, well, I can finally go back to the capital."

Shang Rui said a few words in a row, but after a while, his heart tightened again, and he couldn't help but say, "But...... Isn't there any deception here......"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Dong Hua smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is too worried, Zhong Bai and Xiao Yuan, sacrificed their lives to rescue the holy driver before, if the two of them have bad intentions, not to mention the rescue of the driver, in the situation at that time, they can cooperate with the traitors inside and outside, and there is no need to do anything more, let alone now." ”

Dong Hua, the old man, was smart once, and after hearing his explanation, Shang Rui immediately put his mind at ease, nodded again and again: "Yes, what the prime minister said is right, I thought about it a lot." ”

"It's just that what Ling Chen didn't expect was that Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai actually really exterminated the traitors, the two of them, they really dare to fight." Dong Hua couldn't help but sigh again.

"Haha." Shang Rui also smiled, and said with great joy: "It seems that it is a very correct decision for me to borrow the jade seal from them before." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise." Dong Hua hurriedly agreed.

Knowing that he was about to return to the capital, Shang Rui was excited, and he didn't pause for a moment, he immediately left Yuyang and began to lead a large group of people to the imperial capital.

There is a distance from Yuyang to the imperial capital, if it is a rapid march, it can be reached on the same day, but Shang Rui and his party, a tall and luxurious car, with civil and military officials, and harem beauties, how can they get up quickly, and when they arrive, it is already the next day.

At this time, at the city gate, Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing the emperor's car, the two took a few steps forward, and then Shi Li said:

"Welcome back to the capital—"

As he spoke, Zhong Bai held the imperial jade seal high with both hands and said, "The minister and Xiao Yuan, do not disgrace the mission, kill the traitor, and now return the jade seal to Your Majesty." ”

At this time, Shang Rui also picked up the curtain and walked out, looking at the two people in front of him, he was very happy in his heart, nodded again and again, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, two Aiqing, please get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two got up, and the attendant took the jade seal and handed it to Shang Rui.

Subsequently, Shang Rui led hundreds of officials into the city, and when he passed through the city gate, he also looked up and said with a slight sigh: "As soon as I saw this city gate, I remembered that I was forced to leave the capital, this traitor, it is really hateful, if there are no two Aiqing, the consequences will be unimaginable......

Xiao Yuan shook his head secretly, and Zhong Bai said: "Your Majesty, now the traitor has been destroyed, but Wu Yuan has stolen the palace and ransacked the palace. ”

"This dog thief Wu Yuan! It's so hateful! When Shang Rui heard this, he said angrily: "Where is this person now!" Dead or not? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, after being captured, Wu Yuan is now on death row, waiting for His Majesty to be released." Zhong Bai returned.

"How is he still alive!" Shang Rui glared: "This traitor will be so miserable, immediately pass on my will and divide his five horses into corpses!" Destroy the Nine Clans! ”

"Yes." Zhong Bai answered.

Subsequently, under the escort, Emperor Shang Rui finally returned to the palace, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, after seeing the situation inside, he couldn't help but jump to his feet and scold: "This, this, this dog thief, actually made my palace look like this!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry." Dong Hua bent down and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to clean up the palace, check the losses, and then Your Majesty will re-enter the throne and stabilize the country." ”

Without waiting for Shang Rui to speak, among the beauties of the harem, a beautiful woman began to say coquettishly: "Your Majesty, we are finally back again, but I don't know if the Golden Jade Hall has been destroyed by the traitor." ”

Hearing this, Shang Rui was suddenly nervous, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what Concubine Ai said is right, go with me to see ......"

Before the words fell, he had already walked away quickly with someone.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai couldn't help but glance at each other.

The expressions of the two were different.

Zhong Bai sighed faintly: "It is precisely because of the lack of unscrupulous ministers around the Son of Heaven that the imperial power gradually declines, if there are loyal ministers, the empire will not be like this." ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult......" Xiao Yuan said secretly in his heart.
