Funing Temple. ◎ Smart kids remember super fast hand play update  ◎
Night had fallen, and the hall was lit up with candles the thickness of thirty-six arms.
Ji Zhao was wearing a gown, and when the bad news came, he was discussing important matters with the military ministers such as the Tai Lieutenant and the Secretary of the Military Department, and he couldn't care about the gowns after the bad news came. The eunuchs and maidservants in the palace didn't dare to take a breath, let alone remind the King of Han to change his clothes, and still sat behind the antique bookcase that worked hard every day, and the bookcase was still full of folds, documents and scrolls sent from all over the country, but he didn't pick them up one by one as in the past and read them diligently and carefully.
His eyes looked at the vestibule blankly, and his bright hair appeared in the candlelight, like crystal, like silver.
The deep wrinkles on his forehead made him look so old, and the flesh-colored bags under his eyes made his whole body so brittle.
But Ji Zhao couldn't be strong, the crown prince who had been raised by himself for forty years and carefully cultivated for forty years was gone, and was taken away. How else can he be strong? In this case, the person who can still be strong is not him who is a king of the Han Dynasty, but the king of the ages.
In less than two quarters of an hour, twenty powerful guards of the East Palace, the chief and deputy chief of the guard, four personal attendants, and four masters of the entourage hall were all killed. The prince himself, there is no one alive or dead, no corpse is seen!
Ji Zhao's already white eyebrows turned into snow-white like crystal silk in one day, his straight waist bent down, Mu Chong's momentum shrank, and this heavy blow instantly made him age for more than ten years.
"My king......" Time passed little by little. At noon, in the afternoon, at dusk, at sunset, until dark, there was still no useful news. Ji Zhao's spirit was about to collapse, forty years of hard work was ruined, and his godless eyes at this moment saw all the memories of the crown prince's past, from babies, swaddling clothes, toddlers, children, children, chief horns, teenagers, weak crowns, to adulthood, marrying wives and having children......
The three Taifu taught with all their might. The progress of the daily East Palace Lang Lang book, the first chirping of the chicks in the court, the majesty of the prince between the court and the opposition, twenty years of growth has won him the unanimous support of the royal family of the court and the opposition, and he has seen the prince share the hardships for himself and sigh at night, but now...... Ji Zhao burst into tears again in the empty hall.
"Squeak ......"
The sound of the temple door pushing. The fact that the tall hall door can only make this slight sound shows how careful the person pushing the door is, but no matter how slight the sound is, it will become very clear in the empty space of the Funing Palace.
Ji Zhao came out of his grief. Looking at the yellow door that bowed in, he was not angry, but with endless expectations. "But with the news of the prince?"
Half a day has passed since the incident. Ji Zhao's heart is still full of endless hope. The fact that the crown prince was taken captive instead of killed on the spot means that there is a considerable chance that he will not be killed in the future.
The other party did not kill the prince but held it in his hands, there must be a plan. So what does the other party want to do and what does he want to get? Will you give a message at this time?
Also, the thirty members of the prince's entourage are all masters, and the lowest is also a first-class hard handle, two of the personal retinue, the chief and deputy chief of the guard, and two of the four worshippers. They are all famous masters, not to mention the other two worshippers. Even in the entire worship hall, he can be ranked in the top five, and he is also the most upper-class among the top masters in the rivers and lakes.
Kill them all in a quarter of an hour. And there is no trace of poisoning, and more than ten young talents of the Prince of the Five Immortal Peak Pavilion have also been killed, what a powerful force is this? How can there be no trace of it, have the six doors of the Criminal Department and the Tingwei Mansion discovered it?
Anyway, the moment he didn't see the dead body of the prince with his own eyes, Ji Zhao would not cut off hope.
His eyes changed from his previous godlessness, and he looked at the yellow door under the court with great expectations, how much Ji Zhao hoped to hear good news from him!
Huangmen lowered his waist a little lower, what a huge expectation Ji Zhao had at this time, what a great pressure it was for him. But fortunately, although this news has nothing to do with the prince himself, it is finally touched.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Qi Zhonglang will Zhu Biao ask to see. There is a secret to play, and ...... with the Five Immortal Peaks"
"Quick Xuan-" shouted like thunder, and Ji Zhao, who had closed his eyes in disappointment after hearing the first half of the sentence, stood up suddenly, and his eyes shot a light of surprise.
"Slave and maid obey—" Huangmen quickly withdrew, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"The king has a decree, Xuan Xiao will ride Zhonglang will Zhu Biao, and meet ......"
A long singing was passed from the harem to the front court. In front of the palace gate, Zhu Biao reflexively tidied up his clothes, turned his head and glanced at the guards surnamed Wu with knives beside him, and followed the little yellow gate that led the way into the palace.
In the aisle in front of the Funing Palace, a group of people from the 'national security' system led by Ji Guang, the court captain, and Yang Haode, the secretary of the criminal department, stood with a dull head in a low breath. The cold wind was blowing, blowing their faces with frost, and none of them dared to say a word.
Out of such a big basket, no matter what the final result is, their group is not good. However, there is also a big difference between 'not being good and falling', whether it is simply dismissed, or being directly thrown into prison like Zhan Deguang, the previous court captain, the difference is farther than heaven and earth.
Whether it is the Tingwei Mansion or the six doors of the Criminal Department, they are now running at full strength to look for traces like crazy, but there has not been a decent message back until now, and Ji Guang and Yang Haode's hearts are cold.
Whether things will turn around or not, this 'turnaround' is related to the fate of the rest of their lives!
The crown prince is really 'gone' like this, and the king of Han will definitely not mind using a group of criminal ministers to accompany him to the funeral. Although Ji Guang is a close relative of the royal family and Ji Zhao's nephew, his nephew is not as good as a good son who has been carefully cultivated for forty years.
"Xiao Riding Zhonglang General, Zhu Biao?" Yang Haode frowned slightly, his mind did not become sluggish because of the bad situation, the people who are officials are not necessarily talents, but those who are big officials must be 'talent'. If Yang Haode didn't even have the courage to face the predicament and despair, and he couldn't even hold up his due responsibility, he wouldn't be able to do the high position of the six Shangshu.
"Did he escape?"
As soon as he entered the lobby of the Criminal Department early this morning, he received an urgent report from the Ministry of War, and yesterday afternoon, he returned to the Bodaoling camp and was ambushed by assassins on Zhu Biaolu, and his personal guards suffered heavy casualties and escaped into the mountains and forests, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead.
That was a big shock. The royal capital of, at the foot of the dragon, there are people who are so bold and reckless, it is really lawless. Dare to set up an ambush to assassinate the general of the court now, so won't it be even more upside down in the future and assassinate the king?
However, wave after wave of unsettled waves, and the subsequent waves were still monstrous waves in the real sense, completely annihilating Zhu Biao's affairs.
All eyes were focused on the prince, and all the energy was focused on the prince. Zhu Biao, speaking of which is also a general, but he was thrown aside without being taken care of, and he didn't even say a word to the Elbe Houfu after knowing the news!
Now at this time, he suddenly came out ......?
Thousands of thoughts flashed in Yang Haode's mind, and the place where Zhu Biao had an accident was not far from the Five Immortal Peak Pavilion. One day and one day, although the possibility is slim, but, but ...... It's also a glimmer of hope.
"Huh? What's wrong with you, my lord? Yang Haode's body couldn't help but tremble under the excitement, and the two subordinate officials behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support, if his own Shangshu suffered a stroke or was paralyzed at this juncture, the face of his group of people would be completely lost.
"Spread out, bastard thing." Yang Haode scolded. How could he not see what was worried about the eyes of his subordinates at this time, and pushed away the subordinate officials who were supporting on both sides, but he didn't care about continuing to talk nonsense with them, so he quickly stepped forward and told Ji Guang to whisper, and muttered. Just a few words later, Ji Guang's cold face, which was like a cold ice sculpture, cracked open.
It's been three or four hours, and there's finally good news...... Even if this news was completely guessed by Yang Haode, it also encouraged their confidence.
So before entering the Funing Palace, Zhu Biao was surprised to find that the two green ribbons and jade officials in the passage in front of the hall signaled to him with a smile on their faces, so weird!
"The last general has seen the king-" Pushing the door in, Zhu Biao stepped forward and saluted. But his heart moved instantly, and now he didn't feel the feeling of being controlled by life and death when he met Ji Zhao for the first time in the Hanguang Hall last time, could it be that the person was not there?
"Aiqing, quickly ......come to the matter one by one" Ji Zhao couldn't sit still on the throne, and went directly to the court.
"Your Majesty, the last general had learned art in the Jiuqu Sword Sect in his early years, and he was quite different from Jiang Qingyan, the elder of the Dharma Protector in the faction. The cause and effect in this is not to be told, it is the last general to return to his teacher Yu Ming from Huaiyuan and collide with the Jiang family again. It was the Jiang family who wanted to get rid of the last general, so they set up an ambush on the way back to the barracks.
It was yesterday evening. The last general escaped with his life and escaped into the mountains and forests, and the Jiang family chased after him until he reached the depths of Nanshan.
Taking advantage of the night, the last general thought that he could get rid of the people of the Jiang family by going around in a few circles, but he didn't expect to suddenly encounter a thin and narrow man with a single knife at the top of a mountain, and not long after fighting with him, the people of the Jiang family had already arrived. But the other party also suddenly appeared six masters, including those who made two iron rods, some made iron fans, and there were also a shadow-clothed assassin and two secret weapon masters, all of whom were at the level of famous masters, and the purple-faced man who took the lead in the end, with a pair of red copper fists in both hands, and his skills were amazing. The last general can't parry a few rounds with all his might.
In the crisis, Song Yingzhu, the daughter of Song Yannan, the head of the Jiuqu Sword Sect, arrived and eased the situation. But the other party had no intention of leaving a living mouth, and all the Jiang family members who ambushed the last general were killed, and Song Yingzhu once said that everyone on the other side was a master of the Central Plains. ”
Zhu Biao described to Ji Zhao in detail the fist gloves of the purple-faced man, the jet-black thin cone of the assassin, the iron rod of the iron staff man and the iron fan of the iron fan man, as well as the thin and narrow single knife of the Mai man and the whirlpool knife technique. When he said this, Ji Zhao ordered Huangmen to summon Ji Guang, Yang Haode and others to come to the palace to listen, as well as a group of palace guards and worship hall masters who guarded outside the palace.
For the rivers and lakes, these people are more professional. RQ
