Chapter 44: Returning to the Palace; Audience
"Master, King Rui was killed, and the emperor is afraid that he will ......" Looking at the blood stains all over the ground, Jin Yi frowned. No matter how you say it, Yan Beiyun is also the prince of the Northern Desert, and now that he has been killed, the emperor has to use this matter to be a demon again!
Yan Beiting sneered coldly: "Heh, why do you think Yan Beiyun is here!" The entire Northern Desert knew that this king was at odds with Yan Beiyun, how could he not know! ”
Jin Yi was stunned when he heard this: "What does the prince mean...... But how does the emperor know that he will know our whereabouts?! Could it be ......" said that his face changed, his eyes involuntarily glanced at those who were cleaning up the battlefield, and his voice was very quiet, "Could it be that there are spies?!" ”
How else can you explain all this? The time and route of their departure were all decided by the master on a temporary basis, and no one knew.
Before leaving, the master went on a drunken trip to dream of death, and the spy took this opportunity to report to the emperor, and at the same time everyone knew that the master was going back to the Northern Desert. So later the King of Jin sent someone to assassinate him. After they had eliminated the killer and it was already dark, they went to their foothold outside Lingfeng City, and the Jin King's men and horses directly crossed them and blocked their way, which made them decide to go north along the Kru River. And it just so happened that King Rui was waiting for them there...... Jin Yi thought so.
Who knows, after hearing this, Yan Beiting shook his head directly: "No!" There are no spies. ”
"No spies!" Jin Yi was stunned.
"No spies!" Yan Beiting was categorical, "If there is a spy, catch a turtle in an urn, and we will be forced to die in that cave directly!" If they had known our whereabouts, they would not have passed up such a great opportunity! ”
That's right! However, Jin Yi still had some doubts. If there were no spies, how could King Rui lead people to ambush in the middle of the Crewe River? How did he know that the prince would definitely go there?
Yan Beiting saw that Jin Yi still couldn't figure it out, and sighed slightly: "Let's go, we must arrive at the imperial city before the time!" ”
"Yes!" Kim Yi smiled.
After putting the men in order, they left the place.
The rest of the journey was much easier, and the group did not encounter any assassinations or anything like that. It is estimated that the news of Yan Beiyun's death reached the imperial city.
Yan Beiting finally arrived at the Northern Desert Imperial City in a moment. As for the others, of course, they are in the shadows, after all, it is one thing to have secret guards, and it is another to expose them.
As soon as he walked to the street where the Zhan Wang's Mansion was located, he saw Hong Mingchun, the chief attendant of the palace, standing at the door of the palace from a distance.
Jin Yi rolled his eyes suddenly, and even Mu Yi, who had always had no expression, frowned slightly at this time.
Hong Mingchun heard the sound of horses' hooves, turned his head to look, and found that the person he was waiting for had arrived, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Slave Hong Mingchun knocks to see His Royal Highness the War King!" When Yan Beiting got off the horse, he got up and walked over, "Lord Wang, the emperor ordered the servants to wait here, and ordered the prince to enter the palace as soon as he returned to the palace!" Now please enter the palace with the minions to face the saint. ”
It's a terrifying thing to say! Your head will be lowered to the dust.
Yan Beiting glanced at him coldly, and walked into the palace. He was the only one left, standing there, messy in the wind.
Go into the house, let the subordinates prepare hot water, bathe and change clothes. After resting for a while, he asked someone to pass the meal, and slowly swallowed it, and then wiped his mouth calmly, and said lightly with his lips: "Enter the palace." ”
Hong Mingchun, who had been waiting outside the door for a whole hour, was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. Go into the house to urge, he doesn't dare, just leave, he doesn't dare, he is in a dilemma, he saw Yan Beiting walking towards him with a leisurely pace.
hurriedly greeted him, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Wang...... Lord, the emperor has ...... It's already ......" Before he could finish his urging words, Yan Beiting interrupted him.
"Let's go." After glancing at it, he got on the horse brought by his subordinates and rode away.
Hong Mingchun didn't know whether he was happy or sad, so he quickly chased after him.
One person arrived at the gate of the palace, and after waiting for a while, Hong Mingchun arrived panting. Under his leadership, Yan Beiting entered the palatial palace.
The emperor had been waiting for a long time, but he still had a faint smile on his face, and he looked up at the door from time to time.
Holding the zhu pen and was about to review the recital on the side, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then Hong Mingchun's voice of singing entered his ears: "Your Majesty, the prince of war is here." ”
With excitement on his face, he put down the pen in his hand, stood up directly, and said in a trembling voice: "Come in!" ”
Yan Beiting, who was outside the hall gate, walked in in response.
Seeing Yan Beiting, the emperor did not get angry, nor did he mention Yan Beiyun's death, but asked with concern: "How are you doing outside?" Are you all right? After walking for so long, I don't know if I came back to see my father, I see that you have lost weight, and people are a lot darker, and the outside is always not as good as in the house. ”
Yan Beiting's expression was a little dazed, but he quickly sobered up: "Thank you Weichen, thank you for your concern!" Then the voice was as cold as ever: "I don't know why the emperor sent a micro-minister?" ”
The emperor's face was still happy: "Hehe, you are also twenty years old this year, when are you going to bring me a daughter-in-law back?" ”
"Wechen is blessed, I'm afraid no one wants to follow Wechen." His tone was flat, without a hint of reaction.
"Hmph, I'll see who dares!" The old emperor's face changed when he heard this, "My son, whoever dares not to marry, I will cut her!" ”
Yan Beiting didn't speak again, just looked at him fixedly.
"What kind of eyes are you?" The emperor's face was a little unnatural, and then he said angrily, "Shouldn't I, as your father, take care of your marriage?!" ”
Yan Beiting still didn't make a sound, but took three steps back, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and made a big salute: "Thank you for your concern!" It's just that Weichen still remembers his mother in his heart, and he doesn't have the heart to think about that, so please ask the emperor to atone for his sins! ”
At this point, the emperor didn't say anything more.
It's just that the moment Yan Beiting talked about his mother, a trace of coldness crossed his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Yan Beiting felt that something was wrong, and secretly saw his reaction in his eyes.
As if sensing that Yan Beiting's gaze fell on him, he simply turned around and sat down, and then quickly changed the topic: "Since this is the case, you should pay more attention to yourself." By the way, I heard that the fifth child died at your hands, what the hell is going on? ”
Is it coming?
Yan Beiting didn't refute, and still knelt on the ground: "Please punish the emperor!" ”
Hearing what he said, the emperor's face finally changed completely! His eyes were full of anger, and he stood up angrily again: "It's true! Why are you going to do it to him?! ”
