The situation is such a coincidence, the two parties actually met halfway, and life is really full of surprises.

Meng Fusheng was also surprised when he saw Mu Shengyun, "Senior Brother Shengyun, why are you here?" ”

Mu Shengyun glanced at him and said viciously, "You kid still dare to ask!" I'll clean you up when I go back. ”

Meng Fusheng touched his nose in embarrassment, understanding that Senior Brother Shengyun must have left the matter of the villa and went down the mountain because he was worried about himself, and he felt guilty and moved in his heart.

In the end, they immediately decided to return to the imperial city together.

How do you know that this road is dangerous and dangerous, they actually encountered several batches of assassinations, and the assassins used the moves of the royal secret guards, and they also attacked Du Weizhen indiscriminately, this time Wu Jinyuan didn't believe it, and he had to believe it, Du Weizhen couldn't fool him with his own safety no matter what.

Seeing that there were more and more assassins encountered, they had more and more difficulty coping, so they simply divided their troops into two ways, Meng Fusheng and Li Qing all the way, Mu Shengyun and Du Weizhen all the way, Meng Fusheng and they also left the guards to Mu Shengyun to protect Du Weizhen's safety, as for Wu Jinyuan, he naturally followed Meng Fusheng.

After the separation, there were significantly fewer secret guards and attacks encountered, and Meng Fusheng was the first to reach the imperial city.

Meng Fusheng just entered the imperial city, and was not in a hurry to enter the palace, but came to a restaurant, the three of them first washed off the dust of their bodies, recovered their spirits, and then went downstairs to order the same food like ordinary people, eating leisurely, in fact, the ears have been supporting the movement of the restaurant, extracting useful information from it.

Throughout the ages, restaurants have been mixed, and they have always been the only place to find out the news.

In the evening, a few people inquired about the news they needed, and it turned out that two acquaintances of the imperial businessmen met in the restaurant, so they sat together and began to talk about their worries.

One person said: "Others think that we have become imperial merchants, so we don't need to worry about anything, who knows that we have to worry so much that we can hide." ”

Zero-one echoed with a sad face: "Who says it's not? As long as there is a little turmoil in the imperial court, the price of our things will begin to rise violently, up and down, and the game will be bigger than that of ordinary merchants. ”

The first speaker continued, "yes, I heard it......"

The man suddenly lowered his voice, leaned into the ear of his companion, and said in a very small voice: "The emperor died on the battlefield, otherwise the price given in the palace during this period of time would not be so low. But this is a royal business, even if you lose money, you can't help it, otherwise it will be a big crime to cut off your head. ”

"How is that possible!" The companion's face was full of shock, but his voice was deliberately lowered, "Who are you listening to, if this is not true, you spread rumors about the emperor, but it is a capital crime." ”

The man sneered: "I'm not sure about this, I heard a few fathers-in-law say it when I sent things into the palace this morning, and I don't know about the rest." ”

The companion looked apprehensive, "If you're not sure it's something, don't talk nonsense, it's going to be a shame." ”

The man nodded, and then pulled away from the conversation.

But all this was heard by Meng Fusheng, they were originally sitting at a table not far from the two of them, plus Meng Fusheng's ears were excellent, as long as they paid a little attention, it was not difficult to hear clearly.

He looked at the other two, their faces were the same heaviness, and they must have heard it, and the three of them went upstairs and entered the same room very tacitly.

Meng Fusheng took the lead in saying: "It seems that this matter is more tricky than we imagined, the mastermind behind the scenes can actually make up the news of Wei Zhen's death, aren't you afraid that he will come back?" ”

Wu Jinyuan snorted coldly, "If you do it, then they must keep their back, it's useless to keep Du Weizhen back, after all, he doesn't have any ability." The words were full of disdain and contempt, so it would be almost like saying that Du Weizhen was not worthy of being the emperor.

Meng Fusheng was very dissatisfied with his words, and slandered his friends in front of him, but Wu Jinyuan had no intention of continuing to be with them, leaving a sentence: "Let's separate here." He pushed the door open and left.

Meng Fusheng knew that Wu Jinyuan must have someone here, and it was very likely that he would go to find his own people when he left, and he didn't think about keeping them, so he discussed with Li Qing how to do it.

Now that Du Weizhen has not returned, it stands to reason that pushing the door should wait for them to arrive before going to act together, but Wu Jinyuan's words are like inserting a needle in Wu Jinyuan's heart, so that he can't let go.

Meng Fusheng frowned and said, "Why don't we go to the palace first to see what happened?" If I just wait for nothing, I don't feel at ease. ”

Li Qing had no objection to this, so the two planned to wait a little later to visit the palace at night.

In the dead of night, the two changed into night clothes and sneaked into the palace, which was not difficult for them, after all, the two of them had been in and out of the palace I don't know how many times, and they knew everything about the structure inside.

But this time the situation was very different, before the two of them could act, they were actually discovered, and several secret guards who didn't know where they came out surrounded them, and before Meng Fusheng could explain, they started to move without saying a word, and every move was a killing move.

Meng Fusheng and the others had no choice but to swallow back the explanation and start with them, but this is the palace, and if the movement is a little bigger, it will attract more people, for fear of startling the snake, Meng Fusheng and they had to choose to flee separately.

In the chaos, Meng Fusheng unintentionally broke into the Jinluan Palace, he didn't plan to stay for a long time, thinking about going out when the pursuers left, but suddenly found that the jade seal was gone. Meng Fusheng was shocked, and he also had a rough guess about everything that happened recently, maybe it was the mastermind behind the scenes who stole the jade seal, and then the fox faked the tiger and pretended to pass on the holy decree, wanting to kill Du Weizhen on the way back to the imperial city, so that as long as he used a little trick, he could confirm the news that Du Weizhen died on the battlefield.

Meng Fusheng stayed for about half an hour before leaving, didn't think about continuing to check anything in the palace, and left directly, just went out and met Meng Fusheng who didn't know when he was waiting outside, both of them were empty-handed.

He told Li Qing about the loss of the jade seal, and Li Qing was also shocked: "It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is not small, what should we do?" ”

Meng Fusheng thought for a while and said, "There's no way, it seems that we have to wait for Wei Zhen to come." ”

As soon as the two of them returned to the inn, they met Wu Jinyuan, who had a gloomy face, and the two sides said at the same time: "You."

What did you go for? ”

Meng Fusheng said succinctly: "The Imperial Palace." Then he looked at Wu Jinyuan and waited for him to speak.
