Chapter 163: The Death of the Han
"Alright, alright. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that Da Qiao was so shy, Xu Qi was embarrassed to continue teasing, so he coughed lightly and changed the topic, "Ying'er, you have a good rest, I have something important to discuss with Gongjin, so I can't accompany you tonight." ”
"......" Xu Jue obviously saw the loss in Da Qiao's eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty, so he turned his mouth and said: "Hehe, it's still early, I'll accompany Ying'er first!" ”
"Hmm." As soon as Xu Qi said this, Da Qiao smiled, wrapped his hands around Xu Qi's neck, and muttered in Yanyu.
……
Soon, under Xu Jue's gentle voice, Da Qiao fell asleep with a smile, Xu Jue smiled slightly when he saw this, and turned to leave.
When they came to the inner room, Lin Chong, Zhou Yu, and Wu Dao didn't feel sleepy at all, and it was almost time at this time.
"My lord," Wu Dao spoke first, "the last general has been inquiring on the streets, and no news has come out. ”
"Oh?" Xu Qi was a little puzzled, thinking that this was very unreasonable, when the two went to the palace in the evening, the forbidden army guarding the door had disappeared, according to this abnormal behavior, it should be that the accident in the palace had been discovered, but they did not report it.
Lin Chong saw that Xu Jue was deep in thought, and said: "Lord, when the last general left the palace, those forbidden soldiers saw me covered in blood with their own eyes, although I didn't say a word, but they will definitely not tell this matter, according to the last general, most of them returned to the forbidden army garden and waited for instructions." ”
"......" The other three were speechless for a while, not only lamenting Lin Chong's strong reputation in the hearts of those forbidden troops, but more importantly, such a major event happened, but they hid it and did not report it, it seems that the reputation of the Han Emperor is really not good, at least for these forbidden troops, it is far from being comparable to Lin Chong.
"Well, that makes sense." Xu Jue nodded, although there were patrolling soldiers and eunuchs in the palace, they would not enter the palace, but only carried out tasks outside the palace, so it was reasonable that no corpses were found.
"In this case, I will go to the palace at dawn to announce the news of the death of Emperor Han, and attract the ministers of the court and the central government to directly read out His Majesty's 'edict' in person."
"Yes!" The three of them gave up their hands in unison.
"Well, it's still early, and there are still two or three hours before the sky is bright, so let's rest first."
"No!"
……
When the east was white, everyone had already woken up, and there was still some night, and the four of them had already set foot on the road to the palace.
Traveled all the way, about half an hour came to the palace, it has been nearly a day, the scene in the palace is as always, there is no change, it seems that no one has really come, Xu Jue is most concerned about the holy decree that he put on the desk yesterday, he stepped forward to take a look, and it was still there.
"Wu Dao, now that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has died, the forbidden army is scattered, and the news is difficult to report, you go directly to Situ Mansion to inform Lord Wang."
"Yes!" Wu Dao gave up his hand to receive the order, without the slightest delay, and turned around and left.
Because Wu Dao is strong in martial arts, agile in his hands, and strong in his feet, he will not feel tired when he does some errands.
Xu Qi and Zhou Yu ran outside the palace to wait, after all, they were in the same room with five corpses that had been dead for a day, and normal people were unwilling; As for Lin Chong, he went to the Forbidden Army Garden and met with the brothers.
……
Outside the Szeto Mansion.
"I'm sorry for you to inform Wang Situ, just say that Xu Jue's personal guard Wu Dao came to visit." Wu Dao faced the two family members with serious expressions.
"Lord Situ is still resting, please go to the hall and wait."
Wu Dao thought that it was indeed a little early, but without further ado, he said in a deep voice: "I have something important to report, if Lord Situ knows about this, it will definitely be difficult to sleep peacefully, please go and report it quickly, just say that I have a big matter, and I can't delay!" ”
“…… Well, you wait a moment. One of the family members was skeptical, and finally chose to go and report it.
"Is Master Situ up?" Outside Wang Yun's room, the guard asked a maid.
"Not yet."
"You quickly wake up Master Situ, and say that I have something important to report."
"Hmm." The maid did not twist, opened the door and went to the room.
"My lord......" came to Wang Yun's bed, the maid called softly, at this time Wang Yun was meeting with Zhou Gong, it may be that there was a problem in the process of communication, his brows were tightly locked, and his expression was a little painful.
Seeing that Wang Yun didn't react after shouting, the maid shouted again, and finally Wang Yun reacted slightly, and then opened her eyes.
"Whew......" Wang Yun exhaled a breath of turbidity, gently wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from his old forehead, and muttered: "It's really strange, I actually had such a dream." ”
Wang Yun woke up and didn't notice the maid beside him, but muttered to himself, looking at this look, it was definitely a nightmare.
"Your Excellency......" The maid shouted again, and Wang Yuncai turned her head and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"My lord's forgiveness, the slave and maid were entrusted by the gatekeeper Guo Hong to wake up the adult and say that there is something important to report."
"Could it be ......" Wang Yun's expression was grim when he heard this, his deep eyes stared closely at the hanger not far away, and he was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Serve me to change clothes." ”
"Yes."
About a cup of tea, Wang Yun finished dressing, went out of the room, saw Guo Hong, and said, "What do you have to do?" ”
"I don't know, Xu Qi's personal guard Wu Dao is waiting outside the door, and he said that there is something big to report."
"Oh?" Guo Hong obviously saw Wang Yun's body shocked, and then immediately spoke, his tone was unprecedentedly serious, "Go quickly!" ”
"No!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them stepped forward and went straight to the outside of the house.
Hurriedly came to the door, and sure enough, he saw the handsome Wu Dao waiting, and the latter saw Wang Yun and immediately saluted: "The last general Wu Dao pays a visit to Lord Situ." ”
"No need to be polite, what is the matter with you coming here at this moment?"
Wu Dao stepped forward, leaned close to Wang Yun's ear and whispered, "Lord Situ, Your Majesty has died. ”
"What!" Wang Yun was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time, and then the old tears were rampant, and he fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty! ”
There are many guards near Situ Mansion, there are not many pedestrians, and occasionally there are passers-by, and they are all shocked when they see Wang Yun crying suddenly, of course, because the distance is too far, they don't know what it is.
"Lord Situ mourns, my lord Xu Qi is in the palace at the moment, please go to the palace quickly." Wu Dao took a step back and arched his hand.
"Your Majesty......" Wang Yun was still immersed in grief, Wu Dao's ears were tipped, and he faintly heard Wang Yun muttering: "Sure enough, I met the dream of Ji!" ”
"My lord, please go to the palace quickly, my lord asks you to discuss."
"Hey, got it." Wang Yun got up slowly, his old face looked more and more decadent, and he walked slowly to the palace.
……
Due to Wang Yun's old age and slow walking, it took him an hour and a half to reach the palace, and it was already about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun in the distance exuded an incomparable vitality, and everything seemed so vibrant. And in this city, earth-shattering changes have taken place, especially in the palace, which is lifeless.
