Chapter 393: The People's Heart Is Panicking
Chapter 393: People are panicking
Chen Baichuan was the only one left in the courtyard, and Steward Lu got the order and also retreated to prepare. At this moment, the dusk recedes, and the bright moon gradually shows its corner in the sky, revealing the moon's yellow.
Chen Baichuan watched the bright moon gradually rise, and the fireworks in the world seemed to be slowly silent, quieting down on all sides. The voices of people coming and going in the house were also much quieter, and the darkness was like a big cover, so that people did not dare to speak loudly.
Many people in the city have slept, and many people in the city are still rejoicing. In a city, there are two kinds of people, two completely different lives.
It's not that Chen Baichuan has the heart of a philosopher, it's that he thought quietly here for an afternoon, and many things came out unconsciously. He thought about it all the time, but he really had to think of some.
He found a breaking point. Originally, in his opinion, the purpose of the person behind the scenes was the Chen family, and King Chen was just the party who was dragged into the water. In the whole conspiracy, their purpose in pulling King Chen was nothing more than trying to use King Chen's power to deal a devastating blow to the Chen family. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Chen Baichuan was wrong before.
The arrangement of the person behind the scenes still covers King Chen, or he is still unwilling to let go of King Chen.
At this point, King Chen made it clear that he would not do anything special to the Chen family, but the enemy's sword still pointed at King Chen and refused to let go. This shows that the enemy's target is not only a Chen family, but also a Chen Wang. Even combined with the Jiang family's recent anomaly, the enemy's target may also include the Jiang family.
When putting the three items of King Chen, the Jiang family, and the Chen family together, Chen Baichuan had only one thought in his mind, the enemy's target was actually only one, and that was Chen Guo!
If the enemy is coming at Chen Guo, then everything will be explained. Only those who target Chen Guo will take action against the three most powerful power groups in Chen Guo. Whether it was Chen Baichuan, Jiang Changyin, or Chen Wang, they were the enemy's primary targets in this incident.
Who will be Chen's enemy?
Chen Baichuan simply made a page list in his heart, Qingguo, Beiman, and a big heng.
Before, Chen Baichuan told King Chen in the palace that that person was most likely the minister of the court, which was not an unfounded speculation, and combined with the previous Qingguo spy, Chen Baichuan shuddered.
This time, I am afraid that it will be another good show staged by courtiers colluding with outsiders.
Last time, it was Wei Yingxiong, and the storm he set off was quickly suppressed by Chen Baichuan. Who is it this time? Concealed Chen Baichuan, concealed the old fox led by Jiang Chang, and concealed King Chen, who was taking power day by day.
"Prepare a sedan chair to enter the palace." Chen Baichuan suddenly remembered the Liu eunuch in Da Ling City for some reason, and he shouted to his side. Just listen to the sound of footsteps, and a servant will go and tell the palanquin driver.
Chen Baichuan couldn't wait long outside the door, and the sedan chair drivers came out with the sedan chair. By this time they should have just finished dinner with satisfaction on their faces. Chen Baichuan has been to a lot of places in the past two days, and the city is not suitable for riding horses and galloping, so there are these sedan chair drivers.
At night, there is no one on the street, and the sedan chair does not need to dodge left and right, but it is much faster than during the day. It didn't take long for the palace gate to be seen vaguely in the dark. In this night, the palace gate is a little solemn, looking at the past makes people awe-inspired, and they dare not approach arbitrarily.
Chen Baichuan, a frequent visitor in the palace, knows that this makes people feel awe-inspiring, and I am afraid that it is not only because of the palace gate. In the dark corners, there are axemen, there are archers, anyway, as long as a stranger approaches, the most likely consequence is a bow and arrow on his body, plus a pile of blood marks cut by the sharp blade.
"We belong to the Chen Mansion and the Great General's Mansion." There are many Chen mansions in the Chen capital, but there is only one general's mansion, and the palanquin man emphasized more, afraid that the guards guarding the door will treat the group as ordinary officials in the city.
The Chen family is naturally different from ordinary officials, Chen Baichuan and Chen Baili are able to enter the palace at will. When he wanted to meet King Chen, he just called the eunuch outside the palace to report, and it was not like that other people could not enter the palace without being summoned by King Chen. Of course, there is also an old man Jiang who is one level higher than the Chen brothers, and entering the palace is the same as returning to his own home, even if it is the palace where King Chen is located, he can enter without notification. The dormitory said that Old Man Jiang would not be so rude.
When the palace gate guards heard that it was someone from the General's Mansion, of course they didn't dare to intercept it, so they opened the city gate.
Out of sight of the guards, a group of people suddenly rushed out, wrapped in black clothes, and the whole person seemed to melt into the darkness. Chen Baichuan just opened the curtain, and secretly screamed in his heart.
Sure enough, the black-clothed people suddenly appeared, and they rushed into the palace. Originally, the palace would not be opened easily, and although the guards were strict, they did not expect that someone would break in. All of a sudden, the guards didn't react in time, and even if they left a few heads, more people in black rushed into the palace. There were more than 10 people. After entering the palace, these more than ten people ran away as if they were flying, leaving no chance for the guards to pursue, and scattered and dissolved into the darkness.
This is also to blame for the decree issued by His Majesty in the palace a few years ago, where there are not too many people moving around at night, no lights are allowed. Many roads not far from the palace gate are unlit.
Chen Baichuan was in a cold sweat, I was afraid that as soon as he left the city gate, someone would follow him. The people who followed behind released the news, and some of them were ambushed not far from the palace gate, and when Chen Baichuan's palanquin man was talking to the palace gate guards, they were ready to charge.
Chen Baichuan drove the palanquin man back to Chen's mansion, he himself walked into the palace gate, and shouted to the guards who were in disarray: "Close the city gate quickly, and the others are ready to defend." Send a man to inform you that Your Majesty's safety is of paramount importance and that you must arrest him in time. Who saw how many thieves had entered the palace just now? ”
With a backbone, the soldiers defending the city were well-trained soldiers, and they also calmed down at this time, and someone immediately replied: "I saw eleven people." ”
Chen Baichuan also saw eleven people. Then the light of the torch in the guard's hand saw this, and he couldn't believe his eyes, and if there was another person who also saw this number, it would be eight or nine and ten.
"There is no need to hide this matter, I will go to see Your Majesty. Don't worry, I, Chen Baichuan, will do my best to save your lives, but you can't let a second person in tonight. ”
After calming the floating hearts of the guards, he went to the palace where King Chen was always there. He knew that the guards were suspicious of him at this moment, after all, he was let in when he opened the city gate for Chen Baichuan.
I just hope that this incident does not cause too many bad consequences.
