Chapter 157: Zhu Tiegu, who was caught off guard
There were dozens of people in the entire Izumo Kingdom Mission, except for Karasuma and Toshihide, everyone else was killed in the courtyard by the Brocade Guard.
"Chen Yun, you leave some people to clean up this place, and the rest of the people leave this place with the official."
After walking out of the door, Zhou Chen turned sideways and instructed Chen Yun, who was following closely behind.
"Subordinates obey!"
Chen Yun bowed in response.
Immediately afterwards, he lit out two small flags of brocade guards to stay, and he led the future affairs of the reason.
As for the remaining brocade-clothed guards, they followed behind Zhou Chen and Badao, and walked out of the courtyard with the two prisoners Karasuma and Rixiu.
However, when Zhou Chen and the others had just crossed the weeping flower gate and came to the outer courtyard, they bumped into the same pedestrian head-on.
In an instant, Zhou Chen didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, he even bowed down with a group of brocade guards and said, "Your Majesty!" ”
The existence at the forefront of the group of people on the opposite side is the Emperor Zi Zhengde today.
Behind Emperor Zhengde, there was also a group of elite forbidden troops in armor, but the number was not much, just a hundred people.
It can be seen from this that Emperor Zhengde came to the state guesthouse this time with light travel.
Although Zhou Chen was ostensibly saluting Emperor Zhengde, in fact, his attention was all on the four people who followed behind Emperor Zhengde.
Those four people are the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu Ignorance, and the three great inner agents of the Heaven and Earth Xuan of the Dragon Guardian Villa.
The moment he saw Zhu Ignorance, Zhou Chen understood why Emperor Zhengde came to the State Guesthouse late at night, and nine times out of ten he was guided by Zhu Ignorance.
Right now, the Izumo Kingdom's Harmony Mission was stationed in the Hongroji State Guesthouse, and it was absolutely impossible for Zhu to ignore the Dragon Protector Villa not to pay attention to this place.
Just now, when Jinyiwei and Dongchang's people gathered outside the state guesthouse, Zhu Wuzhi must have also received the news.
It's just that Zhou Chen can't figure out the situation that this Izumo Kingdom and the pro-embassy are originally a conspiracy designed by Zhu Wuzhi secretly.
It stands to reason that now that Jinyiwei and Dongchang have teamed up to enter the State Guesthouse, he Zhu ignored it and didn't want to avoid suspicion and stayed away, why did he still rush to work here? And also brought Emperor Zhengde over?
Looking at Zhou Chen and the other Jinyi guards, Emperor Zhengde's brows couldn't help frowning, and he opened his mouth to say something.
It's just that before Emperor Zhengde's words sounded, a very desolate cry came from the crowd of Jinyiwei: "But His Majesty the Ming Emperor in person? And please call the shots for Li Xiu?! ”
Hearing this sound in his ears, the expression on Emperor Zhengde's face couldn't help but change, he was still wondering why Zhou Chen led Jinyi Wei to this Izumo country mission late at night.
As a result, he didn't expect that the purpose of Zhou Chen and Jinyiwei coming here was to arrest Princess Lixiu, who was sent by Yunguo to make peace.
For a while, the look on Emperor Zhengde's face was also ugly, but he did not directly attack Zhou Chen.
After all, Zhou Chen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was personally selected by the first emperor Hongzhi and him, and there is still no lack of due trust.
Of course, if Zhou Chen can't give enough evidence and reason, then don't care if he's not polite.
Immediately, I saw Emperor Zhengde frowning and asked in a deep voice: "Zhou Chen, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation!" ”
Listening to the voice of Emperor Zhengde's hidden anger, Zhou Chen did not have the slightest worry and fear in his heart.
I saw that he unhurriedly handed over his hand to report: "Your Majesty, the minister has conclusive evidence to prove that this Karasuma and Rihide are impostors at the moment.
Both of these are ninjas of Toei, and the real Izumo Kuniku and the pro-mission and Princess Toshihide have already been killed! ”
At the same time, Zhou Chen was also very vaguely observing the change in the expression of the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu.
He took a look at each other, and when he found out the identities of the fake Karasuma and the fake Rixiu, Zhu ignored what kind of reaction he would make.
At this moment, Zhu ignored the extreme helplessness in his heart.
The fact that this fake Karasuma and fake Li Xiu entered Beijing was indeed planned by Zhu Wuzhi in secret.
And the assassin's invasion of the palace and the abduction of the Queen Mother was also instigated by Zhu Wuzhi behind his back.
The purpose is to make Cao Zhengchun lose face, and if he can be charged with dereliction of duty because of this, it will be even more perfect.
But what caught Zhu Wuzhi off guard was that the game he laid for Cao Zhengchun, a sworn enemy, was unexpectedly disturbed in just one day.
You must know that when he met Emperor Zhengde in the morning, Cao Zhengchun was still anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but just after the evening was over, Dongchang and Jinyiwei's men and horses actually found out about the state guesthouse together.
When the secret agents under his command sent the news back to the Dragon Guardian Villa, Zhu ignored it and even was stunned for a few breaths because of it.
Although he never had the luxury of expecting this fake Karasuma and fake Rixiu to be hidden for a long time, but it was directly exposed on the same day, which was too fast.
In this way, the follow-up means prepared by Zhu Wuzhi were not used at all, which made Zhu Wuzhi only able to guide Emperor Zhengde to the residence of the Izumo Kingdom Mission.
There are two reasons for this, one is that Zhu Ignores the plan to see the opportunity to see if he can get rid of this fake Karasuma and fake Rixiu.
Zhu ignored that he didn't plan to let these two chess pieces out alive from the beginning to the end, but the initial deployment was disrupted, so he had to go out to this state guesthouse in person to find an opportunity.
However, this fake Karasuma and fake Li Xiu don't know that Zhu Wuzhi is the main messenger behind it, and there are several layers of relationship between them.
Therefore, getting rid of the fake Karasuma and the fake Rixiu is not the most urgent thing in Zhu Ignorance's heart.
What made Zhu ignore a little anxious was the second reason, that is, Zhou Chen and Cao Zhengchun had already rushed to the State Guesthouse with Jinyiwei and Dongchang's people.
At present, this state guesthouse is the center of the anxious eyes of all forces, if Jinyiwei and Dongchang have already surrounded the state guesthouse, and he is indifferent to the Dragon Villa.
Either it shows that he has a ghost in his heart in the Dragon Guarding Villa, or that his ability to protect the Dragon Villa is not as good as Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
Of these two statements, Zhu ignored either and couldn't accept either one, so he could only hurry to the state guesthouse with the three secret agents of Heaven and Earth Xuan of the Dragon Guardian Villa.
