Chapter 122: The dust settles and the storm rises

It's a pity that it's too late, and when Yan Qing and the others returned to the secret passage again, they found that there was no longer a figure in the secret passage, as for when Cao Sheng escaped from here, this is simply a mystery! Yan Qing sighed, he suddenly felt that he was really embarrassed to go to see the emperor!

But after all, what should come is still coming, Yan Qing ordered Jiang Xuan and others to run directly to Kaifeng Mansion with a group of prisoners, while he and Cao Xi rode a horse together with a dozen guards and went directly to the palace to report the situation!

At the same time, Zheng Afu commanded the soldiers to drive the carriage dragging Emperor Rongde directly towards the palace, and Emperor Rongde on the car was also in a coma of pain at this time!

At this time, it was already dawn, Zhao Ming was already dressed and standing in front of the window, he was actually sleepless all night, although Zheng Qingyun was also very sticky, but because Zhao Ming really had something in his heart, so in the end, it was Zheng Qingyun who fell asleep softly on Zhao Ming's chest!

Zhao Ming was pressed by Zheng Qingyun and slept all night, this night Zhao Ming has been listening to the movement outside, originally Zhao Ming thought that a qiē should be very smooth, but until the morning star rose above the night sky, there was no trace of information coming, Zhao Ming was a little anxious! Zhao Minggang wanted to wake up Zheng Qingyun, but unexpectedly, Zheng Qingyun said faintly: "I didn't expect that the emperor still couldn't rest assured about things outside His Palace!" ”

Zhao Ming smiled, he really didn't know how to answer Zheng Qingyun's words, but fortunately, Zheng Qingyun was obediently dressed for Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming patted Zheng Qingyun's well-behaved little face and smiled: "I really didn't know that you were so considerate, rest assured." I will take good care of you! ”

Zheng Qingyun said with a smile: "Your Majesty." State affairs are paramount. Although I don't know why you can't sleep all night, but the concubine knows that it must be a big thing, the concubine is really happy, and the emperor can do this, which means that there is still hope for the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Ming didn't say anything more, just silently paced to the side of the bed and looked at the night sky and secretly thought: "It's already dawn at this time, isn't Yan Qing unsuccessful?" Could it be that Chai Xing's martial arts are superior and even inferior to Yan Qing, or is there something wrong with Emperor Rongde? “

Just when Zhao Ming was suffering from gains and losses in his heart, a rapid sound of horses' hooves was remembered in the palace, in a small courtyard. Gonggong Qin stood in the courtyard like a dead tree, listening to the rapid sound of horses' hooves and lamented: "It seems that Chai Xing is really in danger this time!" “

The grimace sat in the chair in the hall and smiled disapprecitatively: "Actually, Chai Xing's life or death doesn't matter to us, but I hope that the next thing will go according to the ideas we designed!" “

Gonggong Qin turned around and walked back to the hall quickly, and said softly: "The old slaves who should be prepared are ready, I believe that today's ancestor worship ceremony will make Zhao Huan feel the taste of destiny!" “

The grimace man sneered: "In the current world, people are still relatively superstitious, as long as we can create signs of the return of destiny, it will be helpful to our great cause!" “

Father-in-law Qin nodded, but he never seemed to be able to lift his spirits, and the grimace smiled: "Why do you still feel sorry for Chai Xing?" “

Father-in-law Qin said as if he was being told the central matter by a grimace: "I'm just worried, after all, Chai Xing is in frequent contact with us. Once Chai Xing's lair is exterminated, I'm really worried that they will find something valuable! “

The grimace laughed, "No." You can rest assured! Chai Xing has spent his whole life in order to recover his great cause of the Later Zhou Dynasty, so I guess that at this moment, Chai Xing will definitely ignore a qiē for the sake of his son, and Cao Sheng will definitely take away the one that Chai Xing has mastered! “

Gonggong Qin was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the grimace and said: "So you should pass the order to pay attention to inquire about Cao Sheng's whereabouts, Cao Sheng's body will definitely have a qiē accumulated by Chai Xing!" “

Father-in-law Qin was shocked, he didn't expect the grimace man to do this, but Father-in-law Qin still leaned over and said, "Yes, don't worry, Lord!" “

The grimace man smiled and said, "Okay, you go, I hope the ancestor worship ceremony after dawn will surprise me!" “

At the same time, Zhao Ming had already learned the exact news from Yan Qing and Cao Xi's mouths, Zhao Ming did not react, he slowly walked a few steps in the room before speaking: "Yan Qing, let me ask you this time to encircle and suppress Cao Sheng's Mansion, can our Praetorian Guards be killed or injured?" “

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the Praetorian Guards attacked and killed ten people!" “

Zhao Ming glanced at Yan Qing and sneered, "When did you count?" “

Yan Qing said without concealment: "Before finding the secret passage!" “

Zhao Ming smiled: "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid there are only nine clothes left among the ten people who died now!" “

Yan Qing suddenly came to his senses, he looked at the smiling Zhao Ming and shouted, "Your Majesty, could it be that Cao Sheng is hiding in our Praetorian Guard!" “

Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "It's too late, I'm afraid Cao Sheng has already fled by this time!" "Yan Qing and Cao Xi knelt on the ground together and bowed: 'Your Majesty, if we are not doing our job effectively, please ask the emperor to punish you!'"

Zhao Ming let out a hearty laugh, pulled the two of them up and said, "What's wrong with you two? "Remember, think a lot about everything in the future!" Saying that, Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "Once Cao Sheng escapes the encirclement and suppression, where will he flee?" And how happened to Emperor Rongde? “

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming asked with a smile: "By the way, has Emperor Rongde rescued him?" “

Yan Qing said the matter as it was, Zhao Ming couldn't help but shake his head secretly, but he also had to say: "My sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and it seems that it is all us."

Habitual! “

As soon as Zhao Ming said this, Yan Qing and Cao Xi were a little speechless. The two of them knew that Zhao Ming didn't mean to be angry at all, and the two of them were at ease in their hearts!

Zhao Ming looked at Yan Qing and said with a smile: "It's almost time, you should each go back to your little nest and rest for a while!" “

Yan Qing's face turned red, and just as she wanted to explain, Zhao Mingyan said: "Okay, I can only give one hour of time, and after one hour, we will participate in the ancestor worship ceremony of the royal family together!" “

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Your Majesty, is it dangerous to hold an ancestor worship ceremony at this time?" “

Zhao Ming smiled when he heard this: "Cao Xi, since the Jin soldiers destroyed the Great Liao, in fact, my father and son have been in danger, do you think that the entire Great Song Dynasty knows more about the Emperor Taishang or more of me at this moment?" “

Cao Xi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question for a while. Zhao Ming suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, Cao Xi, you sent a decree to Wu Ge on my behalf, ordering Wu Ge to tell all gates, and each gate secretly set up posts, especially if you see a sergeant going out of the city alone, you will be secretly captured!" “

When Yan Qing and Cao Xi heard this, they couldn't help but be a little excited, and the two of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, let's do this!" “

Zhao Ming's face turned cold: "You two are really not like words, such a big thing as the ancestor worship ceremony, you don't bring soldiers to the town for me, just one Cao Sheng, and I dare to assert that there must be someone to find Cao Sheng!" “

As soon as Zhao Ming wanted to say something, he saw the small mirror mysteriously running in and floating on Zhao Ming's ears and saying a few words.

Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said to Yan Qing and Cao Yu: "It seems that you can't rest!" “

Cao Yu and Yan Qing obviously felt that Zhao Ming's face was much colder, and before the two of them could say anything, they saw Zhao Ming striding out of the palace, the small mirror was playing with a lantern in front, Zheng Qingyun looked at Zhao Ming who was in a hurry, and suddenly felt a little more worried in his heart, I don't know why, Zheng Qingyun suddenly felt that after a night of lingering, he actually felt that the emperor didn't know when he became his backbone!

When the sky was bright, Zhao Ming and the others were also brought by the small mirror to the corpses of the Praetorian Guards who were tortured and killed by Gonggong Qin, and at this moment, the corpses were placed side by side. Looking at the wounds of those soldiers, Zhao Ming's face turned even more ugly!

Almost all of these soldiers had only one wound, that is, in their hearts, and they were all bloody holes. Zhao Ming didn't even think about it, under the stunned gaze of Cao Xi and Yan Qing

Almost all of these soldiers had only one wound, that is, in their hearts, and they were all bloody holes. Zhao Ming didn't even think about it, under the stunned gaze of Cao Xi and Yan Qing, he suddenly used his finger to reach into the bloody blood hole of one of the dead soldiers, and it didn't take much effort, a small stone with a diameter of about four or five centimeters was pulled out by Zhao Ming with his fingers, although the color of the small stone was already blood red, but Zhao Ming still felt that it was a stone for the first time!

The eyes of all the people present widened, and everyone looked at the stone in Zhao Ming's hand almost in disbelief, and everyone was shocked! The first thing everyone didn't expect was that today's Son of Heaven would have such courage to directly pull the flesh and blood hole with his hands, and he could dig out stones. The second surprise was that the weapons that killed these soldiers turned out to be these small stones that abound on the ground, what a terrible thing?

Cao Xi and Yan Qing also looked at each other at this time, they simply stared at their emperor with wide eyes, this emperor's hands are too skilled, in fact, how did the two of them know that Zhao Ming, as a special soldier, is simply too familiar with the structure of the human body, including human anatomy, so Zhao Ming will take out the stone so skillfully!

Zhao Ming observed the nearby palace with a grim face and said, "Cao Xi! Yan Qing! ”

Cao Xi and Yan Qing leaned over together and replied, "Official! ”

Zhao Mingtie said with a blushing face: "Before the ancestor worship ceremony, the two of you will carefully search the people in the palace near here, and all the eunuchs or palace maids who are found to have thick calluses on their ten fingers will be taken down!" """ (To be continued......)
