Chapter Twenty-Three: The Surge

"It's a bit strange to say that."

Song Qi came to his senses, with the current situation, it is impossible for Song Lin, the king of letters, to face the questioning of his father and emperor without making any excuses, and reprimanding is a small matter, and falling out of favor is a big matter.

"Could it be that what is he plotting?" Song Qi said with his hands on his chest.

Song Yu said: "I'm afraid that it will endanger the birthday of the queen mother." ”

"He dares! The queen mother is the queen of the main palace, Fengyi is the world, does he want to rebel against the sky? Song Qi frowned.

Song Yu said: "This is just the speculation of the palace, no matter what, this third brother is by no means simple, so the palace begged the father and the emperor, and we must participate in the birthday of the queen mother, if there is anything wrong, we should prepare early." ”

"Brother Huang is right." Song Qi agreed, and then he touched his chin and said, "Brother Huang, what kind of vicious medicine did you say he used to increase his physical strength in an instant?" ”

Song Yu shook his head: "It's not just the medicine he takes, but his martial arts are also something that this palace has never seen." Brother Eleven, you can recall the moves he used when he defeated us. ”

Song Qi lowered his head and thought for a while: "I just remember that his footwork is extremely fast, his fists are like a python out of a hole, his attack is strong and the number of roads is weird, he can wrap around the opponent's arms, and I was controlled by it unconsciously, I was controlled by him at that time, and then quickly freed his legs, and made a series of double kicks in my abdomen, and finally let go of me, and hit me with a palm on my chest, I flew out directly, vomited and bleed, and then became unconscious." ”

Song Yu said: "Yes, his path is peculiar, and the palace was also entangled by him all of a sudden, and he was defeated." Now that I think about it, if it is said that he is a snake fist, it is different in many places, but the two should have some origins, and I have to send someone to check him immediately. ”

Speaking of the excitement, the shock of the unhealed internal injury, the pain in the chest made Song Yu cough strongly.

"Brother Huang, are you alright?" Song Qi stepped forward to support Song Yudao.

Song Yu didn't speak, just waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, his eyes looked out of the door, looking at the location of Hui'an Palace, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.

Eastern Capital, East City, Jingkangfang, Tiwei Mansion, not early

Xiao Chongguang stood in the hall, looking at the courtyard outside, only four guards guarded the gate, and the cold wind swept by, making it even more empty.

"Alas, after the big event, I found out that we have fewer people in the Tiwei Mansion." He sighed and shook his head, Tiwei's usual duty is to inspect the east and west cities of the imperial capital, and many people must be sent to do this on this errand, plus the assassination case has not been solved so far, and many Tiwei guards are required to follow up, and the entire Tiwei Mansion, those who can do things have been sent out, and the government will be so deserted. In addition, it is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, although people are here, their hearts are all floating back to their hometown to prepare for the New Year, and they have no motivation to do things.

At this time, the white-haired Dr. Chen in the secret pavilion hurriedly went to the hall, he held two folds in both hands and said, "Chief Wei, all the documents related to King Xin that the old minister can retrieve are sorted out here, please take a look at them." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Old Chen." Xiao Chongguang took the fold, stared at Dr. Chen in a low voice, and said, "The matter of investigating King Xinwang is a secret, only you, me and Deputy Wei Lu know, you must not tell others, if others find out, you will lie that you are investigating Qingle Zhai, if this matter spreads before I announce it, I will ask you first." ”

Dr. Chen hurriedly knelt down with his hands crossed and said, "My subordinates guarantee their lives and will never reveal the slightest rumor." ”

"Old Chen, you don't have to be like this, please hurry up, you just need to know, I still trust you." Siu Chongguang picked Dr. Chan up and patted him on the shoulder.

"My subordinates have served in the Tiwei Mansion for more than 20 years, and they still know the rules." Dr. Chen said with his head down.

Xiao Chongguang said with a smile: "That's why I will entrust this important task to you, okay, nothing else, you go down." ”

"Whoa."

Dr. Chen bowed and crossed his hands, and slowly stepped back out of the hall, returning to the Secret Pavilion.

Xiao Chongguang sat on the main seat of the hall and flipped through these two books about King Xin.

However, Sogo will not look at all the big and small events of King Shin in the past 21 years, but only look at his main experiences in the last five years or so.

"In the twenty-eighth year of Longxing in the old calendar, the king of letters, who was still the grandson of the emperor, had to promise the first emperor to take a group of martial arts and strong soldiers, and went to Xuzhou to parade, about half a year, but only had to believe that the king returned, according to the king of faith, some of his companions were killed by wild beasts in the mountains, and some accidentally fell off the cliff and died, but the authenticity was not distinguished, doubtful. There are people in the inner palace who spread that since the trip to Xuzhou, the king of Xin's martial arts has made great progress, and often practices miraculous skills at night, the source is unknown and suspicious. ”

"In April of the first year of Chenghe, King Xin went to Fengming Pass in Liangzhou, and comforted the Liangzhou army who won the victory in the sand dunes for the saint, and returned after 20 days, and some shadow guards found that King Xin and the mysterious man would meet in Qingle Zhai, and the identity of the other party was unknown, and he was suspected of making up and sneaking into a private meeting, or a civilian without household registration, to be investigated."

Who could it be?

The people in the palace? A private meeting with friends? Or some other court officials who didn't dare to show their faces?

Xiao Chongguang's brain thought quickly, if it was a person in the palace, the shadow guard could see it at a glance, and there was no need to be so sneaky, if you had to go to a taboo place like Qingle Zhai, it was not necessary to put on makeup.

Although it is possible to have friends in the rivers and lakes, however, King Xin has only been out for half a year, and during this period, there is no news of dealing with people on the rivers and lakes.

Then there is only one last possibility, King Xin is very likely to interact with some officials of the court who dare not show up, at that time Liang Xiang has already made his position clear and wants to support King Xin, so if it is Liang Xiang's person, there is no need to secretly make up to meet, unless it is an official who does not belong to any of the forces, among such officials, I am afraid that now, only the Spiegel Division is the most suspicious.

There is another interesting place here, their private meeting was when King Xin had just returned from Liangzhou, could it be that the Liangzhou army was also involved?

Xiao Chongguang was taken aback by his own idea, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, the Liangzhou Army is the strongest army in Chu State, and any other army can compare with it, he himself has been in the Liangzhou Army, so he naturally knows them very well, if there is a problem with such a team, it is really scary.

"It seems that we have to find time to check the Liangzhou Army." Xiao Chongguang had this thought in his heart.

While he was carefully reading, a guard ran up to the hall quickly, this person was the communication guard on the lookout of the guard's mansion, kneeling down and saying, "Chief of the guard, there is a secret agent flying pigeon to pass on the book." ”

"Bring it up."

"Whoa."

Communication Wei took out a small bamboo tube with a length of an inch from his arms, Xiao Chongguang took it, waved his hand to order him to go down, he opened the bamboo tube, and took out a small note from it, only to see that it read: "At noon today, King Xin used medicine to assist him, and seriously injured the prince and King Huai, and was grounded in Hui'an Palace." ”

"They actually got into a fight."

Xiao Chongguang sighed, the most astonishing thing for him was that King Xin was able to defeat two princes with martial arts with the strength of one person, which was really unbelievable, although the letter also made it clear that King Xin had taken medicine, but Xiao Chongguang, who had practiced martial arts, knew that medicine was just an auxiliary to temporarily enhance his strength.

However, there is no record of King Shin's martial arts practice over the years, and where did he learn martial arts? How did you find it?

"It's a bit interesting."

Xiao Chongguang touched his chin, then hid the secret letter in his sleeve and continued to flip through the folds of the letter king.

Dongdu Dongshi Zhengtongfang Mingjing Division is not the end

At this time, in the inner hall of the Spiegel Division, He Qian gathered a group of his main subordinates, and in front of them were Hu Yingtang, the head of the army, Li Jin, the commander of the army, and the supervisor Jiang Shutong.

He Qian stood with his hands in his hands, and said with a straight face: "Tomorrow, this division will talk to His Royal Highness King Xin in Cuiting Zhai, when I am not there, there is Jiang Jian Zheng who is in charge of all matters of the Ming Spiegel Division's government, Hu Zhangshi assists, Li Duwei and Gao Senjun bring ten armor soldiers, disguise themselves as ordinary people and go with me, do you understand?" ”

"Whoa." Everyone replied in a deep voice.

"Si Cheng, if another government comes to check that night and asks where Si Cheng went, how should the lower officials answer?" Uncle Jiang asked.

Li Jin preemptively said on the side: "The prison is worried too much, tomorrow is the queen's birthday, and it is the time again, where will the government come from to have the leisure to come to check so late?" Besides, who would be so bold as to come and check on our Spiegel? ”

Jiang Shutong frowned and said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, I'm just worried that some people will take advantage of this gap to suddenly visit, especially those who are well-informed in the imperial capital." ”

"It's not unreasonable for Supervisor Jiang to be worried," He Qian nodded, "If someone really comes to investigate, you can say that this division has gone to investigate the case on the emperor's orders, and my Mingjing Division has the right to act cheaply, and there is no need to ask anyone other than the saint." ”

"Whoa."

He Qian turned his face to look at Gao Qing and said: "By the way, Gao joins the army, tomorrow, you just need to escort me to Cuiting Zhai, and leave the rest to Li Jin, you have more important tasks." ”

"Please give me orders." Gao Qing charate.

He Qian said, "After you send me to Cuiting Zhai, take this secret letter of mine to the Heavenly Prison," he said as he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Qing, "Give it to the Heavenly Prison Prisoner Wang Yan, and he will take you to meet someone, you just need to secretly bring him back to the Spiegel Division." ”

Gao Qing said: "Can Si Cheng inform his subordinates in advance who you want me to bring back?" ”

He Qian said: "You will naturally know when the time comes, so you don't need to ask more." ”

"Whoa."

He Qian waved his sleeves and said, "Go down and prepare in advance." ”

"Yes." Everyone replied with their hands and withdrew from the inner hall in turn.

Looking at the departing backs of these subordinates, the corners of He Qian's mouth hooked up a faint smile, for him, the show had just begun.
