The 30,000 Baolong Army disappeared out of thin air, and Ming Heng was very angry. The entire Ming Clan's spies began to operate, and the atmosphere in Ningdu City began to become very depressing.

On the same day, Mingxiao led Minglou's spies to the direction of Zitong Pass to investigate, while Mingheng was preparing to send troops to reinforce Wu Kai.

However, before sending troops, he had to go and see the emperor.

The Baolong Army is loyal to the Xuanyuan clan, and the biggest thing he thinks of is that Xuanyuan Ding gave the Baolong Army a secret order, and after they arrived at Zitong Pass, they controlled all the Ma family's father and son, and then hid somewhere.

Therefore, he must go to the bottom of Xuanyuan's determination.

There are three gates in the palace, the main gate of which is the Golden Dragon Gate, which can only be entered and exited by winning battles or the children of the royal family, and the other is the Silver Dragon Gate, from which the ministers usually go to the palace to participate in the court meeting.

As for the name of this third city gate, it is the palace people who go out of the palace to purchase materials or the ordinary soldiers who are on duty in the palace enter and exit.

Ming Heng sat in the car of the five horses, coming from the palace to the palace, he had walked this road countless times, and he was very familiar with it.

"Go to the Golden Dragon Gate." Ming Heng said to the soldier riding the horse.

The Golden Dragon Gate and the Ping'an Gate are in the same direction, while the Silver Dragon Gate has to take a long detour to reach the main hall of Longming.

Why did you set the door for officials to enter the palace so far? In order to sharpen the officials of Great Xia and not slack off in political affairs, the founding emperor of the Xuanyuan clan ordered: civil officials above the seventh rank and military attachés above the third rank should participate in the court meeting every three days.

It's just that up to now, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting is basically once every ten days, and sometimes there is no Great Pilgrimage Meeting even for a month.

After all, after Ning was controlled by the Ming family, except for those families, they were all dominated by the Ming family, and if there was anything, they would personally go to the Zhongshan Mansion to report.

When Wuma Jinqi passed by the Ping'an Gate, Ming Heng saw a group of people wearing internal prison clothes coming out of the Ping'an Gate, who seemed to be people from the palace to purchase things.

"Stop!" Ming Heng ordered the soldiers to stop and stop the inner prisoners.

Those inner supervisors lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at Ming Heng.

The inner supervisor led by him walked to Jin Yu in small steps, knelt on the ground, and said nervously: "Guo Anmin, the villain's internal supervisor in charge, has seen the king of Zhongshan!" ”

In Ming Heng's impression, even if the internal division went out to purchase things, there were at most more than ten people, and now there are at least twenty of these internal supervisors, so they can't help but feel that something is abnormal, so they will stop.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Why are so many people out of the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty, the emperor wants to eat some vegetables, except for some people to purchase vegetables, the other internal supervisors are arranged by the emperor to learn how to grow vegetables in winter."

"How to grow vegetables in winter?" Ming Heng flashed a trace of doubt, after the arrival of the winter moon, there were very few vegetables, but this year he found that there was no shortage of vegetables on the dinner table. At that time, he didn't care, thinking that it was stored by the palace, but now that the internal supervisor said this, he understood a little, and now it seems that someone can grow vegetables in winter?

"Alright, let's go!" He waved his hand, the emperor wants to eat vegetables, this kind of thing, he naturally will not interfere.

The inner prisoner seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if relieved, hunched over, got up, and slowly retreated.

"Let's go!" He said to his attendant again.

After the five horses left, they didn't pay attention, and among those inner prisons, there was a pair of eyes staring at Jin Bao, and their eyes showed an angry gaze.

When I came to the Golden Dragon Gate, the gate of the Golden Dragon Gate was closed, and there were more than ten soldiers standing on the left and right sides, dressed very mightily, but the people were a little listless and lazy.

The man at the head was wearing a golden helmet and armor, and a long sword was carried at his waist, which looked majestic, but he seemed to have no spirit, and even yawned from time to time.

This army consisted of only three hundred men and was stationed at the Golden Dragon Gate, making it one of the few troops loyal to the Great Xia royal family.

The Great Xia royal family let the Ming clan enter Ningdu, which is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, Ningdu City was completely controlled by the Ming clan, not to mention, even the imperial dragon army in the palace was infiltrated, and the commander of the imperial dragon army also secretly took refuge in the Ming clan, it can be said that the entire palace is under the control of the Ming clan.

However, this golden dragon gate is not an exception.

The guard of the Golden Dragon Gate is named Chen Xuan, and his family also followed the Xuanyuan clan to raise troops back then, and also served as the bodyguard of the founding emperor of the Xuanyuan clan. After the founding of the Great Xia, it has been guarding the Golden Dragon Gate.

Chen Xuan is twenty-six this year, after the Ming family entered Ningdu, the entire Great Xia royal family was suppressed by the Ming family, and the Chen family was directly under the orders of the Great Xia royal family, and for this reason, the interests of the Chen family in Ningdu City were divided by other families, and the Great Xia royal family didn't even fart.

Over time, the Chen family also fell. Since the death of his father, he has taken over the responsibility of guarding the Golden Dragon Gate.

However, in modern terms, he belongs to the kind of stinking youth who can't write and can't do martial arts.

Even if he served as the guard of the Golden Dragon Gate, he couldn't change his lofty character, and he often thought that he could get ahead, make a splash, and shock Ningdu.

However, there are only 300 people under his hand, who are like him. Guarding this gate of glory is an errand that cannot be idle.

Xuanyuan lives in the deep palace all the year round, and only on the anniversary of the founding of Great Xia will he go out of the city to the Heluo Mountains to worship the heavens, and he will only go once a year.

Therefore, the defenders of the Three Hundred Golden Dragon Gate have no use at all.

Seeing Jin Xuan stopped in front of the Golden Dragon Gate, Chen Xuan suddenly came to his senses, strode towards Jin Xuan, hugged his fists, and said to Ming Heng without humility or arrogance: "The last general Chen Xuan has seen the King of Zhongshan!" I don't know what happened when Admiral Wang stopped Jin at the Golden Dragon Gate? ”

Ming Heng glanced at him, a small guard, not worth his high look at at all, and he also thought that the Golden Dragon Gate was a chicken rib, so he didn't do anything to the Chen family.

He said lightly: "Open the city gate, and this king will enter the palace to see Your Majesty." ”

Chen Xuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, did you go to the wrong door?" When you enter the palace to see Your Majesty, you should go through the Silver Dragon Gate. ”

After speaking, he pointed in the direction of the Silver Dragon Gate.

"Presumptuous! This king has an urgent matter to meet His Majesty, and it is too far to go around to the Silver Dragon Gate, so you can quickly open this city gate! ”

Although in the eyes of others, Chen Xuan is just an inconspicuous little person, he doesn't think so. His ancestor used to be the bodyguard of the founding emperor of Great Xia, and he had supreme glory, and he himself thought that he could make a difference, but now he didn't have the opportunity to show it.

was looked down upon by Ming Heng like this, and his stubborn temper came up.

"The Golden Dragon Gate was established by the founding emperor of Great Xia, not the royal family of Great Xia, and the triumphant general with outstanding merits, no one else is allowed to enter the palace through this gate!"

"You don't use the founding emperor to suppress this king! This king asks you a question, will you open this door or not? Ming Heng said coldly.

"Please forgive Chen Xuan for being difficult to obey!"

Ming Heng had been in a high position for many years, and no one had ever dared to disobey him like this, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he glanced at Chen Chong, one of the guard commanders beside him.

The guard commander Chen Chong understood what he meant, and with a long knife, he approached Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect the King of Zhongshan to enter the palace from here today, and he was also angry in his heart at the moment, Zhongshan Kingdom had almost completely ignored the Great Xia royal family in the past two years!

"King Zhongshan, what are you going to do? Are you going to break into the Golden Dragon Gate and rebel? ”

Ming Heng had a cold face, "Ask you one last time, can you open the door?" ”

"The King of Zhongshan wants to enter the palace, please enter through the Silver Dragon Gate!" Chen Xuan seemed to be on the same page as him.

"Chen Chong, kill." Ming Heng said without a trace of emotion.

Then, Chen Chong slowly pulled the long knife out of its scabbard.

"You ......" Chen Xuan saw Chen Chong approaching with a knife and was about to draw his sword to block it, but before his long sword was drawn, he saw a flash of cold light, and there was an extra blood mark on his neck.

The sword fell to the ground, and he clutched his neck, blood running down his hand, and for a moment he couldn't stop it, his eyes widened, and he fell in disbelief.

Until he was dying, he hadn't figured out that Ming Heng actually killed him without care.

"General!" His subordinates rushed over one after another, a few went to check on Chen Xuan's situation, and a few were holding large knives, staring at Chen Chong vigilantly.

At this time, they found that Chen Xuan had no movement and was completely dead.

"Those who dare to stop it will end up with Chen Xuan! Open the door to the king! Ming Heng said coldly.

These soldiers under Chen Xuan are basically here to mess around, and none of them will practice seriously, so their courage and fighting spirit have long been worn out.

Chen Xuan was killed with a knife, and he didn't even have time to resist, which scared the soldiers to the point that they didn't know what to do! Now that Ming Heng said this, how could anyone dare to resist and obediently open the city gate.

The golden bowl was lifted up again and headed towards the palace.

After entering from the Golden Dragon Gate, there is a huge square, where the soldiers of the Golden Dragon Gate usually practice. There were more than a thousand soldiers before, but now there is not one.

After this square is a large hall, this hall is the place where the Xuanyuan royal family receives meritorious generals, but for so many years, there has been no such thing as giving meritorious generals, and the hall seems a little deserted.

After the main hall, you can go down the corridor to the emperor's bedroom. If you go from the Silver Dragon Gate to the emperor's bedroom, you have to go through thirteen halls, which is much more troublesome than the Golden Dragon Gate, which is why Ming Heng has to go through the Golden Dragon Gate.

Before arriving at the emperor's bedroom, he naturally got off the golden bowl and walked directly inside.

The emperor still has a lot of people to serve, there are more than 30 internal supervisors who guard the door, and the supervisor eunuch surnamed Hu is the head of the supervisor, and everything in the emperor's bedroom is managed by him.

"King Zhongshan?" Eunuch Hu looked at Ming Heng in surprise, he didn't know why Ming Heng went straight to the emperor's bedroom quietly today.

Eunuch Hu has been in the palace for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions is naturally perfect, judging from Ming Heng's expression, there is a feeling of asking the teacher to ask for guilt.

"Supervisor Hu, take this king to see the emperor!" Ming Heng said in an unquestionable tone.

"King Zhongshan wait a while, and the villain will immediately go to the emperor to ask for instructions, whether to meet you!"

"No need! This king will go directly with you to see the emperor! Ming Heng said coldly.

Eunuch Hu was intimidated by his might and didn't dare to refute, so he had to say, "King Zhongshan, please!" ”

came to Xuanyuan Ding's bedroom, but found that Xuanyuan Ding was not in the palace at this time, and the two maids in his palace were trembling and kneeling in front of Ming Heng, with their heads bowed, very afraid.

"What about the emperor?" Ming Heng asked coldly.

"......" The two maids did not dare to speak, and their whole bodies trembled.

Seeing that the maid didn't speak, Ming Heng stared at Eunuch Hu expressionlessly and asked, "What about the emperor?" Such a big person suddenly disappeared? You'd better give Ben Wang a reasonable explanation! ”

Eunuch Hu, where did he know where Xuanyuan Ding went, and he was also very worried in his heart, such a big living person was gone, he didn't know at all, this supervisor was afraid that he had done it!

"What about the emperor?" He could only ask the two maids.

However, the maid still did not dare to speak, and kept her head very low.

"Someone! Call me! Beat them until they say so! Eunuch Hu was furious and yelled at his inner eunuch.

"Supervisor Hu! I say...... Don't hit me...... I say! One of the maids seemed to be very afraid of Eunuch Hu, and couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Your Majesty...... The emperor is out of the palace......"
