Tuoba Yuling soon took a carriage to the palace, and Tuoba Jun received her at Yong'an Palace.

"Chen Tuoba Yuling greets the emperor!" Tuoba Yuling walked into the hall and saluted Tuoba Jun with a fist.

Tuoba Jun got up and raised his hand with a smile: "Imperial sister doesn't need to be polite, there are so many brothers and sisters, you are already my only imperial sister!" ”

Tuoba Yuling straightened up and asked, "I don't know why His Majesty has recruited ministers?" ”

Tuoba Jun said: "I have sensed that Zhao Junsheng has come to Pingcheng, didn't your Egret Division find his traces?" ”

"Today, I found a caravan with suspicious traces, and the Egret Division also lost two spies who were watching, but we can't determine the true identity of that caravan!"

Tuoba Jun sighed: "Sister Huang, several brothers have left us, so far only the imperial sister can help me, several imperial sisters are still young, I can't count on others, I can only count on the imperial sister!" I know that the imperial sister has been pretending to be Zhao Junsheng in her heart all these years, and I don't want to kill him, as long as he hands over the military power, I can let him be a free prince in Pingcheng, and then I will marry the imperial sister and Zhao Junsheng! ”

Tuoba Yuling's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that Zhao Junsheng already has a wife."

"You said Mulan, this matter is easy to do, once Zhao Junsheng is caught, as long as the imperial sister still has Zhao Junsheng in her heart, Mulan's affairs will be easy to handle, I will give her an edict to death, and then give the imperial sister you and Zhao Junsheng a marriage! One thing, although the imperial sister is older than me, she doesn't know as much as me in this regard, and a pair of men and women who have been together for a long time will also change from ruthless to affectionate! ”

"Why does Your Majesty have to deal with Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan? You are the king of a kingdom, and it seems that to use such means against your courtiers is to damage the majesty of the king! Tuoba Yuling said lightly.

Tuoba Jun sighed: "Sister Huang thinks I am willing? I haven't watched the imperial sister miss her illness in the past few years, for the sake of the imperial sister's lifelong affairs, if I don't take away Zhao Junsheng's military power, if I don't break up him and Mulan, how can the imperial sister have a chance? ”

Tuoba Yuling didn't make a sound for a while, but finally hugged his fists and said, "The minister has gone out to do something!" ”

After Tuoba Yuling left, Tuoba Jun beckoned to a eunuch: "My feeling is definitely not wrong, Zhao Junsheng must have rushed to Pingcheng." Spread my will, secretly transfer Mulan, and find another place to detain her, you must be strictly guarded, and no flaws can be exposed! ”

In the prison, Hua Mulan's hair is scattered, the prison clothes on her body are stinking, she is sitting in the corner of the wall with her eyes closed, the food in the prison is limited, she must save her physical strength.

There was a sound of footsteps, and at least twenty people walked over.

Mulan opened her eyes and saw these people stop in front of her cell door, a jailer opened the cell door, and these draped soldiers walked in one by one, and one of the leading generals said, "General Hua, change a comfortable place for you!" Come on, take away! ”

The two armor soldiers stepped forward to drive Mulan away, but Mulan stood up and shouted, "Get out of the way, I'll go by myself!" ”

The general was not angry, and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is also acting on orders, and if you have any offense, please ask General Haihan!" It would be best for the general to go by himself, and it would save the general the embarrassment! ”

Hua Mulan stepped forward step by step with her heavy anklet chains, walking in the corridor of the prison, and the inmates in the various cells that passed along the way came over and grabbed the bars of the cell door and asked, "General Hua, where are they going to send you?" ”

"Who knows, maybe this will be the last time my Mulan will meet you!" Mulan said as she walked.

An inmate in one of the cells shouted, "That's impossible, even death row inmates have to eat a severed head meal before execution, right?" Have you eaten it? Didn't you? If you don't, you don't! ”

Hua Mulan smiled bitterly: "In these years, etiquette has collapsed, killing people is like killing pigs and dogs, where is there so much attention, stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, whether to eat the severed head meal is not important to me Hua Mulan anymore!" ”

Immediately, some prisoners scolded the world, and these people who killed a thousand knives were reluctant to even give a meal of severed heads, this is to be retributed!

Hua Mulan also thought that the emperor couldn't wait to execute her, but what she didn't expect was that this time she was not going to kill her, but to transfer her to a remote mansion with dozens of people to take care of her.

Hua Mulan seems to understand that Tuoba Jun transferred her position, just to prevent Zhao Junsheng from robbing the prison, could it be that Junsheng's brother has already arrived in Pingcheng? If so, then where is he at this moment?

At dawn, Zhao Junsheng had already woken up, and was about to beat someone to wash, when Lu Xuanbo suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

"Where have you been so early?" Zhao Junsheng asked while digging well water.

Lu Xuanbo stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Young Master, I lost my wife!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was so shocked that the towel fell into the basin, and asked with a serious expression: "What?" What the hell is the situation, don't worry, get up first and make it clear! ”

Lu Xuanbo stood up and said again: "When I sneaked into the prison, I wanted to tell my wife the news that the young master had arrived in Pingcheng and would be rescued at any time, but I didn't expect that when I sneaked into the prison, I quietly walked outside the cell where my wife was held and took a look, the cell was empty, and my wife was gone!" At that time, I was in a hurry, I didn't care about exposing Xingzang and arresting a jailer to extract a confession, but I didn't expect that the jailer only knew that Mrs. was taken away by a team of soldiers, and I didn't know the specific whereabouts. ”

Zhao Junsheng said after half a sound: "It seems that you killed the two spies of the White Egret Division who have aroused the suspicion of the imperial court, Tuoba Jun is afraid that he has already guessed that this king has arrived in Pingcheng, so he is in a hurry to order someone to transfer Mulan's position!" Don't feel guilty about this matter, Mulan shouldn't be in danger for the time being, your task is now to find Mulan's hiding place as soon as possible, preferably before the execution, and we can rescue it in time! ”

At this time, Li Bao, who came over, asked: "Lord Wang, Pingcheng is so big, it is not easy to find a person who is hidden!" What if we can't find our wife before the execution? ”

Zhao Junsheng was silent for a while and said, "If you really get to that point, this king can only rob the Dharma field!" ”

As if bad luck had come to the door, Zhao Junsheng not only asked Lu Xuanbo to find it, but also asked Guo Yi to send intelligence officers to collect information, but this was still a needle in a haystack.

Two days have passed, and Mulan's whereabouts have still not been found.

On the first day of August, a large number of convicts will be beheaded for public display, including Hua Mulan, most of whom are Zong Ai's comrades, and Hua Mulan is also classified by the imperial court as Zong Ai's comrades.

On the evening of July 30, in a house in the southeast of the city, the hall was brightly lit, and Zhao Junsheng kept pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back and his brows tightly locked.

At this time, Guo Yi walked in quickly, and Zhao Junsheng immediately asked, "How is it, have you found it?" ”

Guo Yi looked ashamed, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are ashamed to death, and they can't find the place where Mrs. is being held!" ”

Zhao Junsheng's expression became colder, his last hope was dashed, and now there is only one way left, and that is to rob the Law Field!

He slowly turned his head to look at Lu Xuanbo, "Have you found the location of the law field?" How many troops does the imperial court plan to deploy to maintain the security of the court? Which soldier is responsible for maintaining the safety and order of the court? ”

Lu Xuanbo clenched his fists and replied: "It has been investigated, the execution ground is located at the entrance of the vegetable market in the west of the city, and the court executes criminals there, and the area there is large enough, and there is a pagoda more than ten zhang high next to it, in the words of the local people, the pagoda can just suppress those unjust ghosts!" ”

"My subordinates inquired that it was the Right Guards who maintained order at the execution ground, and there were 1,000 people at the execution ground alone, and there were only two or three thousand people escorted and standing guard along the way!"

"Bring me the map!" Zhao Junsheng turned his head and shouted.

A personal guard brought a plan of the city, Zhao Junsheng hung it on the wall, and soon found the location of the entrance of the vegetable market in the west of the city, and he found that the location of the entrance of the vegetable market extends in all directions, and it is at the crossroads, there are four main roads that can lead to here, and there are many small roads extending to other places in the city.

But in the area of Caishikou, as long as there are enough troops, it is completely possible to trap anyone who wants to rob the execution ground and cannot escape.

Look at it again, fifty meters away from the entrance of the vegetable market is the pagoda that Lu Xuanbo said, about 16 zhang high, up and down 13 floors.

"Fu Zhan, let the brothers rest first!"

After Zhao Junsheng gave the order, he made a gesture to Lu Xuanbo, and the two walked out of the house and rushed to the vicinity of the vegetable market as fast as possible.

The two of them spent half an hour walking through the two adjacent streets and many small alleys in the vicinity.

When he returned to the house, Zhao Junsheng spread a blank piece of paper on the table, and immediately drew the entrance of the vegetable market and the surrounding terrain buildings with a brush in his hand.

Late at night, Zhao Junsheng called Fu Zhan up and handed him the drawings: "According to the deployment of troops drawn by the king on the drawings, how many people are arranged in which house and how many crossbowmen are arranged on the roofs of which buildings, there are marks on them one by one, wake up the brothers, let them bring food and water, and go to the location overnight to hide!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

At dawn, as soon as Zhao Junsheng woke up, Fu Zhan came back, and he reported: "Lord Wang, according to the marks on the drawings, all the deployments have been completed, and there are still one hundred and twenty people left!" ”

Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Let these people bring short weapons, crossbows, and arrows, so that they can hide in their clothes and baggage, tell everyone to change into the people's regular clothes, hang a sweat towel around their necks to distinguish between friend and foe, and finish eating and changing clothes within two moments!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Zhao Junsheng had breakfast with the guards, drank water, and asked everyone to check the equipment again after the assembly, and after the equipment inspection was completed, Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Open the front, back, and side doors, go out in turn to blend in with the pedestrians on the street, and gather in the direction of the vegetable market after going out!" The attack order is that once the flagpole in the middle of the execution ground falls, it is the order to attack, and the flagpole does not fall, even if something big happens, it is not allowed to move. If you hear the bells of a nearby pagoda, retreat quickly, scatter and return to this place, no matter what happens! ”
