Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 33 Return to Beijing

、、、、、、、

Although the capital was heavily guarded, the soldiers guarding the city gate glanced at the six people in front of them, and after verifying that the official document was correct, they let them into the city. "This is probably the last group of dukes to arrive in the capital." The man dressed as the squad leader sighed deeply.

In his position, he knows far more things than those pawns, so he also faintly feels the storm brewing in the capital. Nominally, only the west of the nine gates was accessible to people in and out, and it had to go through an extremely elaborate inventory. In fact, the queen mother who lives in the deep palace still controls this entrance of her own. And the people sent by Wang Feng of Anjun Wufang know exactly this secret way. I heard that the team returning to Beijing from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was only five days away from Beijing.

Feng Wuxian and the others changed their mounts at the city gate, and everyone's dusty clothes were all changed and changed into guards. Empress Xiao had already set up a reception here, so two young guards greeted her early and led the way without saying a word.

Among the six people, except for Feng Wuji and Immortal, they were all the henchmen and guards sent by Feng Wufang.

They are all seasoned elites, so Rao is a saddle horse, but he still has a resolute face. The four of them faintly protected the wind without a trace and the underworld, so they did not attract the attention of many people.

When he saw Kunning Palace from afar, Feng Wuji's heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous. As early as last night, he sent Zhanrong to contact Zhan Pohan in the Fengtai camp, so he had already found out about the mind of his mother, Xiao. Despite this, he still can't take it lightly, and now he is helpless to enter the palace alone.

After all, the inner palace guards belonged to him, and he didn't interfere, and Hai Guanyu, the minister of the guards, had already been restricted from entering and leaving. So to speak, the guards in the palace now. It can be said that it is all in the hands of the Xiao family.

The people of Zhan Po Cold have already begun to act as promised, as a final deterrent. Wind Without a Trace is not going to take it out easily. Even Bi Yunlun, the governor of Zhili, only got vague information, but I believe that with Bi Yunlun and his wife's shrewdness, they will never poke out any leaks.

Although the group of them all had official status, after all, they were all dressed as guards at this time.

Therefore, I couldn't walk through the main gate of Kunning Palace, but went around the boss before entering the main hall. Feng Wufang's henchman Yan Jing had met Xiao Shi once before, and this time he took the lead.

"Prince An's courage is really not small, presumably if the palace didn't manage to open a door for entry and exit, he would justifiably knock on the door with a fake good news?" Xiao's face was full of unhappiness, Feng Wufang's previous recital had caused an uproar in the capital, and Feng Wuxi frequently entered the palace, making her make a decision earlier, but Xiao never officially let go. She was about to ask something more when she felt a palpitation. Hurriedly glanced at the few people kneeling behind him, and his face immediately changed. After all, she has been in the back position for several years, and her qi cultivation kung fu is unusual. So I quickly calmed down.

The eunuch and palace maid beside her had already retreated, but Empress Xiao knew that the two shadow guards that the emperor had sent before his death had temporarily followed her, and on the right hand side was Rouping with a blank look. "I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Traceless. Xiao Shi suddenly smiled happily, "It's in vain that the palace has kept the news hidden, I'm afraid that someone will block your trip." ”

Feng stood up from his position without a trace, took a few steps forward and bowed down again: "Erchen knocks to see the queen mother!" He first bowed to the ground, and then solemnly raised his head, "Now that there are traitors rampant in the court, how can the ministers be at ease outside, so naturally they have to rush back day and night." I don't know what my father's condition is? ”

Without Xiao Shi's signal, the four guards who had entered Beijing without a trace from the wind quietly dispersed, just protecting the position at the door. The Absolute is still in place, with a pair of eyes blazing.

Xiao's face immediately sank, "It's a shame that you came back so quickly, otherwise things would be really tricky." Just three days ago, the emperor had returned to heaven. ”

The words shook the wind without a trace and could hardly hold himself, he never expected that things would come so quickly. Originally, I just thought that someone was taking advantage of my father's serious illness to rebel, but I didn't expect that the emperor who was far more majestic than his warmth was already dead. "The queen mother, the father, the father is really already a guest?" He asked again almost uncontrollably, his hands trembling slightly.

"It's a pity that your father couldn't see you again before he died." Xiao Shi's voice was also a little choked, and suddenly, she returned to her usual slightly indifferent tone, "Since you have returned, the palace is also relieved, the emperor handed over the edict to the palace long before he was seriously ill, so without further ado, the palace will summon the ministers and announce the succession of the new monarch." She chuckled, "I'm afraid many people will be disappointed that you were able to come back so quickly this time." ”

Feng Wuxian felt a chill in his heart, and immediately felt the chill in these words. Xiao Shi did not mention the unhesitating actions of the wind, and did not say anything about the countermeasures of Zhang Gan, the commander of the Nine Gates, but used "many people" to refer to it in general, which undoubtedly shows that she also knows that there are others secretly watching. No matter how she and Feng Wu struggled, it was her son on the throne after all, but if it fell into the hands of the person who killed it with a horizontal sword, it would be a big joke. Xiao Shi slowly stepped out from behind the screen, bent down and helped Feng Wuxian up. "No trace, long time no see, you have lost a few more weight." She carefully looked at her son's face, as if she was the most loving mother in the world, "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with returning to Beijing this time, otherwise Xin'er's girl will have to worry again." She glanced at her son meaningfully, and then said softly, "Do you know that this girl actually escaped from the heavily guarded East Palace, and entered the palace last night to question the palace for a while, and she is really dedicated!" ”

Xiao's previous rare gesture of warmth had already made Feng Wuxian stunned, but the words that followed surprised him even more. Although he was guided by the guards of Kunning Palace when he came, he had already noticed the tense situation in the capital. As his territory, the East Palace is naturally the focus of care, and the fact that Hai Ruoxin, a delicate young lady, can run out, undoubtedly means that everyone in the East Palace has the possibility of getting out.

He was thinking about the reason for the matter, but he saw Rouping leading a person out of the door of the apse, and then let out a forcibly suppressed exclamation. "Without a trace, you're back?" Hai Ruoxin couldn't believe her eyes, she had previously confirmed from Xiao's mouth that Feng Wufang of the Northwest Camp had sent someone to return to Beijing from Feng Wuxi, but it would take at least five or six days to arrive. Now that Feng Wuxian is actually wearing a guard costume and standing in front of her in a dignified manner, how can she not be surprised?

Seeing Hai Ruoxin rushing forward in a few steps, she kept looking up and down, and Feng Wuxian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but more moved. "Xin'er, don't worry, it's okay." He comforted his wife insincerely. Since Hai Ruoxin knew that she had entered the palace to ask for a meeting, and now she was staying in Kunning Palace safe and sound, then presumably the attitude of the Queen Mother Xiao was completely clear.

"Queen Mother, you have worked hard for this period of time, and it is really unfilial that your sons failed to serve their father before his death!" Feng Wuxian bowed deeply again, "Since the queen mother has already made arrangements, then summon the ministers tomorrow." He seemed to think of the military horse of Zhang Gan, the commander of the Nine Gates, and he couldn't help but have the idea of capturing the thief and the king in his heart.

"Queen Mother, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about Zhang Qian's side." calmed down the sorrow in her heart, and Hai Ruoxin also calmed down, "When I came out before, the people in the East Palace had already discussed it. Zhang Qian only borrowed the authority of his father and mother to do whatever he wanted, and once there were other orders from the imperial court, it was impossible for all his subordinate soldiers to obey them. Of course, it is not excluded that someone has bribed those generals and assistants of the infantry army commander Yamen. It's always not good to capture the thief and capture the king, and it's always not good to have a mutiny in Gyeonggi, so a few guards from the East Palace have secretly sneaked to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, to prepare, and they should be able to try to take down these people. ”

Although the words were said lightly, whether it was Feng Wuji or Xiao Shi, they all heard determination and murderous spirit from it. Feng Wuxi, who knew that his strength was fine, was already sure that Zhang Gan's actions this time must have angered the people in the mansion, so they had actually decided to use those people in the shadows. However, Zhang Gan withstood the emperor's many favors, and in the end, he actually had bad intentions, and he really should be dealt with well. He seemed to casually glance at his mother's face, and sure enough, Xiao's expression changed several times, but finally froze on indifference.

"It's okay, the important thing now is not a small Nine Gate Admiral, let him settle down, and the overall situation will be easy to arrange in the future." Xiao Shi obviously agreed to this approach, "Although Yu Geqi of the Ministry of War is mediocre, he is still a person who understands current affairs, this time you might as well let him lay out the post." Everyone knows that this person has no real power, and there is no soldier in his hands, and he is also impartial and not easy to attract suspicion. ”

"It depends on the mother's will." Feng Wuxian nodded, he knew that it was his mother who was showing his heart at this time. Xiao's move to make suggestions based on the actual situation was a kindness he had never received before, "As long as you can firmly hold the military power of the infantry army to lead the yamen, then tomorrow's court discussion will be easy." ”

Of course, the person who sent the interrogation was Chen Lingcheng, who was still under the identity of Shen Ruhai and was free to enter and exit the palace. Even Xiao Shi was completely deceived by him before, not to mention those others who were not familiar with the people in the Tai Hospital. In order to win the trust of others, Xiao's secret edict was stamped with the emperor's jade seal and the queen's small seal, so that no one could doubt it. Moreover, although Chen Lingcheng's skills have not been seen by anyone, because he can bring someone in the secret passage of the East Palace and come and go freely, everyone has infinite confidence in him.

The sun was about to set, and the wind was hurrying towards the palace at this moment. He was confident that he had completely controlled the situation in the capital, and even the three senators and important ministers were also announcing the news of the emperor's serious illness to other officials, and even revealed some rumors intentionally or unintentionally, which made him overjoyed. As long as there is the queen mother behind him, and the Xiao family is the big support, those who used to be around the wind without a trace still have to bow down at his feet? Sitting in the spacious eight-lift sedan chair, he finally smiled soothingly, what should belong to him, others don't want to take it!
