Zhang Jun had a feeling that Qu Ping saw through it at a glance, and he also heard the banter from Qu Ping's words, and said embarrassedly: "As a courtier, isn't it to be loyal to the king?" ”

"The Queen Mother returned to her hometown from Jin Guorong, and she will definitely be very happy knowing your good intentions in these dishes!" Qu Ping nodded.

Zhang Jun was even more ashamed and embarrassed, and said: "Lord Wang, what Zhang Jun did wrong, please point it out!" ”

Qu Ping said: "Well done, no problem. The emperor and the queen mother have eaten well, which proves that the lives of the people in the world have also become well-off and expensive. ”

Seeing that there were still thorns in Qu Ping's words, Zhang Jun gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "The lower official knows that he is wrong!" ”

Qu Ping hurriedly helped Zhang Jun up: "General Zhang's words are serious, just a joke." I'm not King Xiang anymore, you don't have to be called a subordinate official. ”

Zhang Jun got up and said, "But you are still the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses!" ”

Qu Ping was stunned for a moment and asked, "Really?" ”

"The emperor just abolished your title of King Xiang, and did not say that you should be removed from the position of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses."

"I didn't pay attention to that. Interesting. Qu Ping said, "So, can I still walk outside in a grand manner?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "This ...... The emperor has the final say. ”

Qu Ping said: "Okay, I won't bother you to continue thinking about the recipe." I just came to ask, I heard that General Zhang was in Zhaozhou and helped me do something? ”

Zhang Jun was shocked, although Qu Ping was not there, he still controlled the world, it seemed that this time Qin Hui was a small witch, and he was about to fall under Qu Ping.

Zhang Jun said: "The lower officials are impartial and do things for the imperial court. ”

Qu Ping praised his answer, Zhang Jun did not stand in line easily, which was a little different from him in "The Biography of Yue Fei". In "The Biography of Yue Fei" and later official history, Zhang Junke was Qin Hui's accomplice, and he was cast into a bronze statue and knelt in front of Yue Fei's tomb forever.

"I don't know if my strength is too strong and affects the trend of some people's lives?" Qu Ping thought to himself.

Qu Ping asked, "Can you let me meet the person you brought back?" ”

"Absolutely." After Zhang Jun finished speaking, he found a brick on the wall behind him, he pressed it hard, and suddenly, the wall parted left and right, revealing a narrow passage that was more than a foot wide.

What a wonderful mechanism!

"Lord Wang, please come with me." After Zhang Jun finished speaking, he took the lead and squeezed in sideways.

Qu Ping followed Zhang Jun through the narrow aisle, and five meters later, a wide space appeared. Inside, the lights were a little dim, and a man was sitting inside.

That person was Liu Jiuniu, who had been taken by Zhang Jun's side, and when he saw Zhang Jun coming in with a person, he quickly stood up and shouted, "My lord." ”

"There's no cave here!" Qu Ping glanced around the space, and then looked at Liu Jiuniu, "You are the one that General Zhang brought back, right?" ”

Liu Jiuniu was a little frightened when he saw this stranger, and looked at Zhang Jun for help.

Zhang Jun said: "Don't be afraid, this is King Xiang!" ”

Liu Jiuniu was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, villain Liu Jiuniu, meet Lord Wang!" ”

"Get up and speak." Qu Ping said, "You tell me about all the things that happened in Qingyun's prison at that time. ”

Liu Jiuniu knew that only if King Xiang won, he would not have to continue to be trapped in the dark. He said: "At that time, Lord Qin Han was locked in prison and did not eat for two days. On the third day, Lord Qin Hui came to the prison for interrogation, asking if he had murdered the first emperor and whether someone had instigated it behind his back. Lord Qin Han didn't admit it, and Qin Hui brought in another Mongolian soldier to testify and asked him to point out Lord Qin Han. Lord Qin Han scolded Lord Qin Hui a few words, then pulled out the jailer's knife and committed suicide......"

Qu Ping listened to Liu Jiuniu's 1510 narration of the situation at that time, while recalling that he had confessed to Qin Han: "Pay attention to the whereabouts of the first emperor, and intercept the first emperor if necessary." ”

I don't know if Qin Han replied with the wrong intention, or if he made his own decision and killed the first emperor Zhao Huan?

Afterwards, Qin Han found out that the matter was exposed, and in order not to implicate Qu Ping, he committed suicide in order to bring the clues to Jiuquan, so that there was no proof of his death.

Qu Ping sighed in his heart, if he hadn't said that to Qin Han, he would definitely not have made those decisions. Qin and Han's death, he has to bear some responsibility, the death of the first emperor ...... It can only be counted as an unjust death.

After Qu Ping understood the situation, he went out of the dark room with Zhang Jun and said, "Thank you, Lord Lieguo." Please entertain the witnesses for me for a few more days, and when I use him, it will be the day when he will be free! ”

"What is the prince going to do next?" Zhang Jun asked.

"Please help me prepare a bundle of thorn sticks or something, and I will enter the palace to face the saint."

Zhang Jun was shocked: "You want to beat the emperor?" I can't help it! Even if the emperor is deceived by traitors for a while, you can't make such a move! It's a capital offense! ”

Qu Ping said: "Who said that I was going to fight the emperor? I'm going to be guilty, you know? ”

"Guilty of guilt? Emperor ...... Does it really have anything to do with you? ”

"Nothing to do! Bear the guilt of Jing pleading, that is to the emperor up and down the steps. You just wait to cooperate with me, tell me, where is the firewood room, I'll find it myself! Qu Ping said.

"You want to enter the palace now? It's closed. ”

Qu Ping raised his feet and walked outside: "I have no door in my heart!" ”

Zhang Jun estimated that Qu Ping was going to break into the palace at night, and he couldn't dissuade him, so he had to say in the back: "Be careful, sir!" Turn left in the firewood house, go straight, and turn right again. ”

"Thanks, I haven't been to you. There's a knife in the firewood room, right? By the way, shave your beard. After Qu Ping finished speaking, the person had disappeared around the corner.

Zhang Jun looked at the empty corridor and sighed, hoping that everything would go in the right direction.

The bustling street is basically closed at this moment, only the lanterns on both sides of the roadside still indicate the hustle and bustle of this street during the day.

After the real dragon bun shop was eaten by Zhao Gou back then, its popularity has been at its peak, and the store has become bigger and bigger.

The owner of the steamed bun shop, who had worked hard all day, was ready to close the door, and went back to the back room to count the money and hugged his wife to sleep.

The moment the door was about to close, one foot was between the left and right doors.

The boss couldn't close the door, so he opened a door slightly to see what was stuck.

He was a middle-aged man with a bundle of firewood on his back. Jiujiu Chinese

This person shaved his beard with a firewood knife in the firewood room by the way, and then came out of Qu Ping with a bundle of firewood on his back from Zhang Jun's mansion.

When the boss saw that it was a woodcutter, he said, "It's closed!" ”

"Do you still have buns in the store? Real dragon buns. Qu Ping said.

The boss is a good man, he saw Qu Ping carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, and it is estimated that he did not sell it during the day. At this time, the city gate was closed, and the shop was basically closed, and the woodcutter was too pitiful.

He said, "You haven't sold the firewood, have you?" It's so late, and the gates are closed, you won't be able to go back. So, I bought your firewood, and I just have the last two buns left......"

"I only need two buns, and I don't sell this firewood." After Qu Ping finished speaking, he took out the money worth two buns and handed it to the boss.

The boss took Qu Ping's money in a daze, turned around and took out two big buns from the drawer, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Qu Ping, and asked, "Do you really sell this firewood?" I won't lose you. Look at my plaque, the emperor personally wrote it, can I deceive you? ”

Qu Ping took the bun into his arms, turned to the side and said, "My firewood is still of great use!" ”

"Inexplicable!" The boss closed the door and said to himself, "What a strange person." This person...... It seems familiar. Who is it? ”

At this time, the palace gate was closed, and Qu Ping would definitely not go to the door to provoke suspicion. Qu Ping was well aware of the topography and defenses of the palace. He came to a corner of the palace wall, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and when he looked up, he didn't see anyone above, so he took a deep breath, performed light skills, stepped on the left and right walls of the horn to borrow strength, and rubbed the ground on the palace wall as high as ten meters.

Qu Ping lay on his stomach outside the wall, confirmed that there was no one around, and then turned over to the city wall. One rolled close to the ground, reached the corner of the opposite wall, looked under the wall of the palace, and there was no one, so he turned over, borrowed his feet on the wall in the middle, and the next moment he reached the ground and hid in the darkness.

Day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent thieves, it is Qu Ping, who made him familiar with the palace!

There is a post in fifty steps in the palace, a sentry in one hundred steps, and it is heavily guarded. Qu Ping didn't pass a single level, it was like a crossing of fire, and his heart was pounding.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and finally sneaked to the emperor's bedroom not far away.

Qu Ping climbed onto the roof of a palace opposite the dormitory, and lay on the back of the roof, revealing only one head. He wanted to confirm first whether the emperor was in the palace at this time and whether he was asleep.

The strange thing is that although the lights are on in the emperor's bedroom, there is no one on duty within 100 meters outside the palace, and the guards and chamberlains are waiting 100 meters away.

What's going on?

Qu Ping was equal for a while, only to see the emperor's bedroom open the door, and the four attendants hurriedly ran away with a sedan chair from a hundred meters away. A maid helped a lady out of the door, and then got into the sedan chair. The attendants carried the sedan chair and left.

"Have you seen enough?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Qu Ping.

Qu Ping had already discovered the other party, and Qu Ping didn't look back, saying, "Aren't you also watching." ”

"I'm the duty."

"Then you can feast your eyes."

The man walked over, sat down next to Qu Ping, leaned his back against the roof, looked at the starry night sky, and said, "The prince is finally back, we are all looking forward to you, everyone believes that you will be fine!" ”

Qu Ping also leaned on the ridge of the roof, looked at the crooked moon, and said, "Thank you." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at each other and looked at the night sky.

That person is the commander of the forbidden army-Chen Chong.

Qu Ping asked, "Who came out of the emperor's palace just now?" ”

"Nafei."

Qu Ping nodded, and asked again: "Why didn't the emperor go to Concubine Na's palace?" ”

"The emperor recently had a nightmare, someone wants to kill the emperor."

"No wonder the guards are so tight. Even such a wonderful thing as Lin Xing had to be completed in his own bedroom, and he would be sent back after he was finished. Isn't that a toss-up? Can you get pregnant like this? ”

Chen Chong glanced at Qu Ping: "How do I know, I don't have a wife yet!" ”

"Offended, offended. I am busy with official business every day, so I should think about it for myself! I'll introduce you to an object next year! ”

"Thanks!"

Qu Ping said curiously: "What terrible nightmare did the emperor have, to be so cautious and strict?" ”

"Someone wants to be unfavorable to the emperor."

"Who?"

"You!"

"Me?"

"You!"

Qu Ping said with a smile: "Didn't the emperor think that I had gone to the Western Heaven Elysium, why did I have a nightmare, so beware?" ”

"Maybe the emperor is afraid of ghosts." Chen Chong said with a smile.

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Hey hey ......"

"What are you laughing at? What are you doing with a bundle of firewood on your back? ”

"Beat the emperor, one by one, until the emperor admits his mistake!"

"Then I'll transfer the janissaries for you."

"Thank you!" Qu Ping was a little surprised, and Chen Chong didn't ask much, so he wanted to let himself go. Does he believe that he will not harm the emperor, or will he help himself?

After Chen Chong finished speaking, he really got off the roof. It didn't take long for half of the guards to be removed, and the guards outside the dormitory were thinning.

Qu Ping said to himself: "If I really plot against him, Chen Chong is a good knife!" ”
