At this time, it was already a little dark, but Murong Qian still ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and he wanted to enter the palace.

When he walked to Jinyang Street to the palace, Murong Qian suddenly noticed that something was wrong, there was no one on this Jinyang Street! At this time, there were still some hours before the curfew, and it stands to reason that there would not be such a nobody, but there was really no one else except him.

Holding the reins, Murong Qian sat on the horse and waited for a while, and suddenly, people in black appeared from all over the alley, about a dozen or twenty people, and they surrounded Murong Qian.

Murong Qian looked at the people in black with an unkind face, "Who sent you?" ”

The man in black didn't speak, just raised his sword and rushed towards him, Murong Qian flew down from his horse, he came out in a hurry and didn't bring a sword, he could only fight the enemy with his bare hands. Fortunately, he was strong in martial arts, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of a man in black to snatch the sword in his hand, and with the sword in his hand, he also had a little more confidence.

But after all, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, so many people besiege him, even if he is strong in martial arts, he is still declining.

Without thinking much about it, Murong Qian took out a signal flare on his body, pulled out the fuse and threw it into the sky, and suddenly exploded a firework, and the group of people in black saw Murong Qian send a signal, their eyes flashed, and then the offensive became more and more fierce, wanting to deal with him as soon as possible.

Murong Qian saw that their attacks were becoming more and more intensive, and he also guessed their plans, he had already sent a signal, as long as he held on until Xin Ji and Xin Qi brought people to help.

It's just that King An's Mansion is some distance away from Jinyang Street, and his physical strength is getting weaker and weaker, a man in black found an opportunity to stab him in the chest with a sword, Murong Qian narrowly avoided it, but he still injured his left arm, and the bleeding continued.

Covering his arms, Murong Qian looked at them coldly, "It seems that you have to put this king to death." ”

The men in black still didn't speak, but slashed at him with their swords, answering him with actions.

Murong Qian was already injured in the arm, and it was a little difficult to fight the enemy at this time, he gritted his teeth, took a breath, and the offensive also accelerated, his move disrupted the offensive of the man in black, but he found a flaw, found the right direction and rushed over, stabbing a sword at a man in black, the man in black did not react for a while, he slashed through the neck, and fell to the ground and died.

Murong Qian rushed towards the gap where the man in black fell, ready to break through, and one of the remaining men in black who seemed to be the leader flew in after him, Murong Qian didn't turn around, just covered his arms and ran forward, the man in black stabbed Murong Qian in the back with a sword, and just when the tip of the sword was about to stab Murong Qian, a feather arrow shot from behind the man in black, and it went straight into the back of the man in black, and the man in black fell to the ground with an arrow, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

It was Xin Ji and Xin Qi who came with the secret guards of King An's Mansion, Xin Qi was holding a bow in his hand, and the life-saving arrow was shot by him, he put away the bow and arrow and rode to Murong Qian, turned over and dismounted.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Murong Qian's face was gloomy and he shook his head, "It's just a little bit of an injury to my arm, it's okay, let's solve the matter in front of me first." ”

Xin Qi nodded, "Your Highness will go back first, and just leave it to me and Xin Ji here." ”

"Stay alive!"

"Yes."

After Xin Qi helped Murong Qian get on the horse, he turned around and drew his sword, and joined Xin Ji and the others in the battle with the man in black, while Murong Qian rode back to King An's mansion, and when he got out like this, the matter of entering the palace was also delayed.

There is a special doctor in King An's Mansion, and after calling the doctor to treat the wound, Murong Qian pondered, first the mother concubine had an accident, and then him, it was obviously not a coincidence, but a premeditated plan.

Could it be Murong Zhan? Wrong. He had set off for the border half a month earlier, but it is possible that he had arranged all this in advance. Could it be Murong Fu? He always felt that he framed him and was deposed, and after thinking about it, Murong Qian felt that it was more likely that it was Murong Fu.

first targeted the mother concubine, and then targeted him, this is to catch them all, it seems that Murong Fu really did not give up.

At this time, Xinji Xinqi happened to come back, and there were blood stains on their clothes, but they were all the people in black, and they were not injured.

"Your Highness, the subordinates are derelict in their duties, there is no one alive, they have poison hidden under their tongues, and after being caught, they took poison and committed suicide, like dead soldiers."

……

"Got it, let's go down."

The people in black were all dead, but it didn't matter, Murong Qian had already guessed who it was. Murong Fu should not have the ability to cultivate the dead now, but ...... The Fang family has.

"Wait!" Murong Qian shouted again and stopped Xin Ji and Xin Qi, who were about to retreat.

"Xin Ji, you go to the General's Mansion and tell General Chu that this king has something important to discuss, and ask him to come over to the mansion to talk about it. Remember, be sure to say that there is something very important for him to come. ”

"Shall you go now?" Xin Ji asked, somewhat uncertain.

"Forget it, let's invite him again tomorrow." It's getting late today, and there's a curfew in the city, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

The next morning, Xin Ji came to the General's Mansion and asked Chu Yuntian to go to King An's Mansion.

"What can King An discuss with me?"

At this time, Chu Yichuan was about to go on a routine tour of the city, he shook his head and said that he didn't know, "But there should be something important, why don't you go for a trip?" ”

Chu Yuntian thought about it for a while, decided to go for a trip, and after returning to the room to change his clothes, he followed Xin Ji to King An's Mansion.

"I don't know what His Royal Highness King An is looking for a minister?"

"General Chu, please take a seat first."

After ordering someone to serve tea and retreating left and right, Murong Qian continued to speak.

"General Chu, this king invited you here this time to let you strengthen the patrol of the capital and the imperial city these days, especially the imperial city, it is best to strengthen the defense."

Chu Yuntian put down the tea in his hand and took a sip of it, and asked, "Is something wrong in Jingzhong?" ”

Murong Qian shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Not at the moment, but something may happen, so I asked the general to take precautions in advance." ”

Chu Yuntian's face also changed, "Do you have to have a big incident?" ”

"It's just my guess, but I can't let my guard down, Murong Fu and the Fang family are likely to take action."

"Fang family? Could it be that they are trying to rebel?! ”

Chu Yuntian was a little shocked, if it was really as he said, then this matter would be a big deal.

"No, it's a big matter, and it must be reported to Your Majesty."

"General, don't be impatient, everything is just my speculation, if you rashly report to your father, it may backfire, it is better to prepare first, and we will report to my father when the eighth and Fang family really take action."

Chu Yuntian took a sip of the teacup, calmed down his emotions, felt that Murong Qian was reasonable, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and asked Murong Qian: "How did His Royal Highness King An learn about this?" ”

"Yesterday, the queen was poisoned, I heard that it was my mother who instructed the palace maid Xin'er to poison her, I learned the news and wanted to enter the palace to ask my father about it, but I was attacked on the way into the palace, this is obviously someone targeting our mother and son, I think about it and think that it should be Murong Fu who did it, after all, he was deposed of the prince before, and he has always thought that the king framed him."

"The queen is poisoned? Or is it the poison of Concubine Xian's mother? It's impossible! We all know very well that she would never do such a thing. Can Your Highness be injured in an attack? ”

Seeing that Chu Yuntian said that it was impossible for the mother concubine to frame the queen, Murong Qian felt a little relieved in his heart.

"I'm just slightly injured, it doesn't matter, thank you for the general's concern."

After speaking, Murong Qian pondered again, even people like Chu Yuntian who didn't know the harem knew that the mother concubine was a person, how could the person next to the father's pillow not believe the mother concubine?

"If what His Highness said is true, then it is indeed necessary to prepare in advance, and I will arrange it."

After Chu Yuntian finished speaking, he was about to get up and say goodbye, but Murong Qian stopped him, "General, wait a minute, you have to find a suitable reason for this matter, otherwise strengthening the patrol for no reason will inevitably cause them to be vigilant." ”

Chu Yuntian arched his hand, "I understand, I will only tell that Princess Nanyuan and the embassy are coming soon, and in order to ensure the safety of the capital, I will strengthen my defense." ”

"The general is wise."

Murong Qian was a little glad that Princess Nanyuan had married at the right time, otherwise he didn't know what reason to use to prevent Murong Fu from finding out.

Back at the General's Mansion, Chu Yuntian sighed with some emotion, this His Royal Highness King An is really taking precautions, and he is also very witty and cautious, Murong Qian's impression in his heart is a little better.

When Chu Yichuan came back from his tour of the city, Chu Yuntian called him to the study.

"Father, what is the matter with His Royal Highness King An looking for you?"

"In the past few days, you have ordered the patrol battalion to strengthen the patrol of all parts of the capital, as well as the guards of the city gates, add more people, and guard them day and night, don't relax your vigilance."

Chu Yichuan saw his father's somewhat serious look and asked, "Is something going to happen?" ”

"The abolished prince may unite with the Fang family to take action, what we have to do is to prevent it from happening."

"What?! The crown prince ...... How come?! ”

Chu Yichuan couldn't believe it, how could the prince want to rebel?

"People are forced to be in a hurry, and they don't know what they will do!"

Hearing his father's words, Chu Yichuan suddenly thought of the fact that the prince had tied up Miss Lu and drugged him before. The prince is not a good person, and this time I am afraid that he will really do something stupid.

"If others ask, you only say that Princess Nanyuan is about to arrive in the capital, and the strengthening of patrols is just for the safety of the Nanyuan Mission, understand?"

Chu Yichuan nodded solemnly. Chu Yuntian nodded with satisfaction, his son was extremely relieved to do things.

"Adjustments will be made from tomorrow, and I will also make arrangements on the side of the forbidden army to ensure Your Majesty's safety."

Chu Yichuan is the commander of the patrol battalion and is responsible for the security of the capital, while Chu Yuntian is the commander of the forbidden army and is responsible for guarding the imperial city and protecting His Majesty.

After Murong Fu was deposed, he had almost no power in his hands, except for the Fang family......

The Fang family has had a great influence in the DPRK over the years, and there are countless officials large and small who have been implicated with them, and the Fang family has also cultivated many forces, including some forces on the rivers and lakes, and some merchants.

What's even more terrifying is that they secretly cultivated an army, which was stationed on Nangu Mountain in the southern suburbs of the capital, there are many wild beasts in Nangu Mountain, almost no one will go on weekdays, and the terrain is steep, which is the best place for the army to hide.

No one knows what the Fang family's intentions are in secretly cultivating the army, the Fang family has spent a lot of money in it over the years, but they have never used this army, and now, the time has come.

In Murong Fu's mansion, his uncle Fang Qingzhou is also there, and there are two others, namely Murong Fu's second uncle Fang Qingshan and younger uncle Fang Qinghai.

Fang Qingzhou's face was a little ugly, he slapped the table angrily, and said, "You guys are so bold! ”

"The eldest brother is angry, and at this time, the second brother and I decided after thinking about it for a long time. The queen mother is now powerless in the harem, Fu'er has been deposed again, and you have been suppressed in the court. In this case, why does the eldest brother still do things for the emperor, why don't you plan big things with us? ”

"Stupid! Your Majesty is not a paper tiger, you want to deal with Your Majesty and let Fu'er take the throne, it's just whimsical! ”

Fang Qingzhou was so angry, he couldn't have imagined that these two younger brothers and Murong Fu were so bold and wanted to rebel!

"Uncle, haven't you always taught me not to be too weak? Why are you so cowering when it comes to you now? ”

"Do you know you're rebelling! It's a big sin to lose your head! ”

"Why, haven't I already tried to rebel once? Since my father expects me to rebel so much, then I will show him the opposite! ”

Fang Qingzhou was so angry that he pointed at Murong Fu and was speechless for a long time, "You... You... You're confused! ”
