The capital city at night is not peaceful. The battle that spread from this corner of the city of King Wuling has affected all parts of the city. While the common people closed their doors, they were eager to nail the windows. And the dignitaries and dignitaries were all very vigilant, and all the guards and subordinates were all on guard to prevent disasters from affecting the family.

At this time, in the night when there were bursts of shouting and killing, when the two riders galloped into the sparsely populated side street in front of the Jin Wang's Mansion, they just startled the birds in the abandoned garden next door, and for a while they were full of the sound of flapping wings and ugly calls.

When the two of them came to the gate of the Jin Palace, the gray-clothed man wearing a hat at the back stopped his horse, raised his head to look at the high wall, and then glanced at Zhen Rong, who was stained with blood on his body.

"Young Master Zhen, His Royal Highness King Jin is not good at talking, so I'll send it here!"

Zhen Rong looked at Erjie wearing a hat, and thought to himself that there were guards sent by Xiao Changheng along the way just now, and now those guards were guarding the street, but now he had arrived in front of the Jin Palace, and he had no chance to talk to Erjie at all.

Therefore, in the face of this pun of farewell, he recalled the scene when Erjie saved him in the sinister tug-of-war in the Wuling Wang's Courtyard today, and the unwillingness that was pressed in his heart before gradually disappeared. He arched his hand solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Please thank the King of Lanling County on my behalf, thanks to him, the suspicion on the Great Wu Mission has been cleared." ”

"That's what he's supposed to do." When Erjie said this, he only felt that it was very natural. He didn't say any more, smiled at Zhen Rong, and then turned his horse and left. When he galloped to the corner of the street, Leng Buding glanced back, and saw that the young man was still riding a horse and standing in front of the door of the Jin Palace, standing alone, hanging from each other.

At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh, and he couldn't help but remember that Yunxiaozi invited martial arts celebrities all over the world to discuss how the infant child should be raised. For more than ten years, the former baby has grown up, although it once had a bad behavior, but at least there was no loss. However, these two words of life experience are afraid that they will always be the most difficult demon for Zhen Rong to get rid of.

Who is like Yue Qianqiu's little guy, who knows that his background is a mystery, but he doesn't care about no one. These days, Zhen Rong is also thanks to having such a heartless kid as his companion, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it for a long time!

Zhen Rong stood until Erjie and Qiu Hunting Division and those people converged, and then left the street, and then knocked on the door of the Jin Palace.

Originally, the door was only opened by a crack, but his head and face could be seen clearly through the faint light of the lantern, and the gatehouse immediately opened the door wide, and said with a smile on his face: "Zhen Gongzi is back, come in, I heard today that there is a mess in the capital, everyone is worried about death, Your Highness and Jiu Gongzi have asked you several times." ”

Although Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, was moody, several of the concierges in the Jin Palace's mansion were quite sleek people—at least in front of Zhen Rong. Zhen Rong bowed his head slightly to say hello, and when he entered the gate, several porters who surrounded him saw the blood stains all over his body, and they all came up to ask if he was injured. Zhen Rong couldn't stand this enthusiasm, so he ran away with a perfunctory sentence.

Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, did not have an inner family in the real sense, not even a favored maidservant, so naturally there was no inner courtyard and outer courtyard in the strict sense. Of course, Zhen Rong also knew that the relationship between men and women in Beiyan had always been casual, maybe Xiao Jingxian, who had no wife and concubine, just didn't care at all. He didn't go back to his side to change his clothes first, but went straight to Changyou Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard outside Changyou Pavilion, he saw a guard greet him. After talking for a few sentences, he learned that Xiao Jingxian had actually driven the two doctors away, even if he had known that people were obedient, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. As he walked straight inside, he naturally didn't notice the somewhat complicated and subtle look in the guard's eyes when he looked at his back.

When he arrived at the door of Changyou Pavilion, he saw that there was a lamp lit inside, and a figure could be vaguely seen in the window, so he knocked on the door. Hearing that there was no sound inside, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and immediately reached out and pushed the door. Sure enough, the door was only hidden, and it opened as soon as he pushed it, and after he stepped into the threshold, he habitually closed the door. When he came to Xiao Jingxian's bedroom, he was stunned.

The shadow I thought earlier was just a piece of clothing on a hanger, which had not been sorted out in the room, and there were still messy clothes left by people when they left in a hurry, as if there was still the breath of those two people.

Zhen Rong Muran stood there, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a wry smile.

Isn't this what people have already agreed with themselves? Now, what is there for him to be sad or depressed?

Looking around, his gaze finally fell on the small white corner peeking out of the dressing desk drawer. His heart moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward, and when he opened the drawer, he saw that it was a letter written by Ah Rong himself, lying quietly in the drawer.

He subconsciously wanted to open it, but then he calmed down and carefully checked the seal. After making sure that the seal was intact and had not been opened, he pulled out his self-defense dagger from his boot and carefully sliced open the envelope. When he took out the letterhead, he took the two thin pieces of letterhead, and he felt that it was so heavy that he opened it for a long time.

It was a very short letter, without any crepe words, all of them were like gossip in the vernacular, and the head was the same as Xiao Jingxian's name for him on the envelope, with the word Ah Rong with a hint of kindness, but it was completely different from Xiao Jingxian's attitude towards others with a smile in the past, but in fact, it was far away from a thousand miles.

"Ah Rong, when I saw this letter, Qianqiu had already coerced me away. The Jin Wangfu has always been the target of the public, and the capital is in chaos, and the soldiers and horses will come one after another, how to hold on, how to distribute, and listen to the convenience. The guards inside and outside the house, I have ordered you to be temperate, and life and death depend on the king's heart. If you want to be honest and loyal, you should leave a way for them for the rest of your life. ”

When he saw the five words left by Xiao Jing first at the end, Zhen Rong couldn't help but hold the letterhead tightly, eager to cinch it into a ball and throw it away, but in the end he put it down gently.

Xiao Jingxian's meaning, he already completely understood. Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu broke out of their shells, but left the Manfu guards to him, if the Jin Wangfu had to face the invasion of the chaotic army next, then, as long as he could lead people to resist, then in the case that the main master had already run away, he would naturally be able to win people's hearts.

With Xiao Jingxian's means, even if he leaves, he will definitely keep his henchmen among the guards, and they will help him at critical moments. And whether he can keep these guards under the emperor's wrath afterwards is the real key!

Otherwise, even if Xiao Changheng is really willing to continue the previous solicitation, he "recognizes the thief as his father", but there is no one under him, even if it is the son of the world, it is also an empty son, what is the use?

"I should say, do you really look down on me?" Zhen Rong sighed, stuffed the letterhead back into the envelope, and put it in the drawer as usual, then turned around and came to the door, opened the door and said in a deep voice, "Someone!" ”

Seeing that the guard he had seen when he came in before came in a hurry, bowed in front of him, Zhen Rong glanced at him, and then ordered lightly: "Watch the door, no one is allowed to enter the door without my permission!" ”

"Yes, Zhen Gongzi, please rest assured!"

In the face of such a clean answer, Zhen Rong still didn't know, this was definitely a rare person in the palace who knew at least part of the inside story. But he didn't ask anything, but went straight out of the yard.

When he went to the temporary quarters of the rest of the mission, and found that all the rooms were lit with lights, but there were no people left, he thought that his heart would sink a little bit, but when he confirmed the condition of the last room, he strangely felt that the whole person was extremely relaxed.

Originally...... It's really all gone. All but him were gone.

Did Elder Erjie know about this before sending him back to the Jin Palace? Will he stay?

These thoughts were turning in his heart, but when Zhen Rong returned to Changyou Pavilion, he put away all his distractions. Looking at the guard who was loyally guarding the door, he asked in a low voice, "How many others might know the inside story?" ”

"I don't know." Seeing Zhen Rong frowning, the guard hurriedly explained, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has always done things unfathomably, and our subordinates have never dared to speculate on what he means, so we really don't dare to be sure." His Royal Highness only said that if he was not there, he would be assigned by Prince Zhen in everything, and he would not disobey the order, and I believe that many other people had received the same instructions. ”

"Okay, let's keep things here a secret for the time being, you are responsible for the three meals a day sent in, and you are responsible for how to deal with it."

Speaking of this, Zhen Rong said word by word: "You go down now to give an order, and call all the people in charge of important functions to the main hall for discussion, and no one is allowed to be missing." After the herald, you will come here to take my place. ”

Seeing that the person left without saying a word, Zhen Rong looked up at the night sky full of dark clouds and couldn't see any stars, and suddenly sat down like a child on the steps in front of the house. Over and over again, he was thinking about what to do next, but his mind was so full of thoughts that he couldn't concentrate.

Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian...... Where is this time? Are they also looking up at the night sky, which is also starless?

However, when he and the guard who came back from the herald changed shifts with each other, still wearing the bloodstained clothes, and walked into the main hall of the Jin Palace, Zhen Rong was full of solemnity, and he couldn't see the slightest hesitation. Seeing that no one was sitting, all of them were standing like nails, and when he reached the center, he turned to look at the crowd.

"The courtyard of King Wuling was almost burned to the ground today, and the reason is that Xu Houcong's son was kidnapped there, and because His Royal Highness the King of Jin made it clear to the twelve princesses that the assassination was done by King Wuling. I went there with Xu Houcong's daughter Xu Wen, and after some fighting, I rescued Xu Houcong's son Xu Guang, but this grudge can be regarded as completely settled. ”

"For King Wuling, whether he admits to kidnapping Xu Guang or not, he is now in power, and he will never let go of such a shameful humiliation. According to the information report of the Akikashi Division, he detained the two Shenmu generals, held the Shenmu camp hostage, and planned to support the king of Xianning County. I'm afraid that tonight at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest, revenge will come. ”

He took a deep breath and suddenly raised his voice and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is injured, and the Ninth Prince is left to take care of him, so His Royal Highness the King of Jin ordered me to take over the defense." You are more familiar with the palace than I am, and I have nothing to command you. All I can do is to kill the enemy with you when someone comes to attack and keep this last home! ”

These last dozen words aroused a strong resonance among everyone for a while. In an instant, I only heard a group of people responding.

"If anyone dares to offend the Jin Palace, let them come and go!"
