Chapter 126: The Emperor's Mind (12)

The night is deep, the stars are falling, and everything is quiet.

"Woohoo!"

Suddenly, the twelve reconnaissance stations in the Imperial City sent out signals at the same time. The six-colored flares crossed and shuttled through the air, instantly illuminating the dark night of the Imperial City!

Within a moment, the Imperial City Palace was brightly lit. A dense gong sounded, and the guards in all parts of the palace heard the wind and quickly surrounded the entire imperial city.

Nam Rong Palace.

Nan Rongpuchu, who had just come out of the latrine, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched his waist, patted his mouth and was about to go back to his room to sleep, when he was startled by the signal flare in the sky!

Nan Rongpu looked in the direction of the palace hall and suddenly remembered the fireworks that had been laid out some time ago.

I don't know if Xun Qian will be full of joy when he sees such a brilliance?

Nan Rongpu blushed like a big girl when she thought about it at first. The more he thought about it, the more he squirmed, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet and twist his body against the corner of the wall. The shyness of the brain had just faded, and when I turned around, I saw a man coming from the garden.

Nan Rong Puchu immediately rubbed his face, straightened his neck, and looked at the man, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he immediately waved his hand and called: "Senior Wuxi, where are you going?" ”

"Stargazing."

Stargazing?

Nan Rongpu looked up at the night sky, which had already returned to calm, and it was already pitch black without the color of the signal flare. He trotted over, followed closely, and wondered, "Where are the stars?" How can I not see it? ”

Nan Rongpuchu's words really made Wu Xi helpless.

Wu Xi waved his hand and said casually, "Admire the moon." ”

Moon?

The night is low, the lonely moon is bleak, and it is really not a good night.

Nan Rongpu scratched his head and muttered suspiciously, "It's not a full moon night, what's there to see?" ”

Wu Xi didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, and stopped talking, quickened his pace, and walked towards his side room without looking back.

Nan Rong Puchu didn't seem to realize that Wu Xi intended to get rid of him, but stepped forward with a smile and didn't mind. When the corner of his eyes swept to the clothes on his back was a little dusty, he immediately trotted to follow, brushed his sleeves to help him clean up the remaining dust, and his mouth did not stop for a moment, "Senior, where are you getting dust?" ”

Wu Xi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Nan Rong Puchu, the corners of his mouth under the mask drooped slightly, as if he was thinking. He hesitated for a moment and asked lightly, "What does the fireworks over the Imperial City mean?" ”

"Huh? Flares, you say? Nan Rongpu said honestly: "If an unidentified person is found to have broken into the Imperial City Palace, the twelve reconnaissance stations will send a signal. The reconnaissance station supervises 12 directions, divided into six colors, and the direction of the intruder can be determined from a distance, which can be described as foolproof! ”

Hearing this, Wu Xi frowned.

Looking at Wuxi's demeanor, Nan Rongpu's confused head instantly flashed with inspiration, his heart trembled, and a thought that made him chill was born in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, Nan Rongpu was full of excitement, his body shook violently, and he patted the dusty hand on his body, and he didn't control it, and almost slapped it down.

I don't know what he was imagining in his mind, Wu Xi retreated slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Say!" ”

Nan Rongpu raised his eyes and glanced at Wuxi, then hung down weakly, and said hesitantly: "Senior, you ...... Are you the demon's eyeliner? ”

Wu Xi glanced at him straightly, and asked lightly, "What do you think?" ”

This time it was Nan Rongpuchu's turn to be stunned.

As if after thinking carefully for a moment, Nan Rongpu Chu took a deep breath and said firmly: "No! Nan Rongpuchu's face was sincere, and he was slightly moved.

He turned and pointed to his shoulder and motioned, "There's one here, give me a pat on the back." ”

"Yes! Predecessor! The boy smiled.

Following.

In the Qiancheng Palace, the courtiers were already in place, and Emperor Shunze slowly sat down.

At this special time, the ministers are cautious in their words and deeds, lest one accidentally anger the emperor and be killed as an example. Only Nangong Zhe hurriedly went up, "Ascend to the saint!" Last night, the reconnaissance station came to report that someone broke into the Qiancheng Hall at night! ”

Seeing that the guess was confirmed, a smile crossed Emperor Shunze's face, and it was fleeting. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who?" ”

Nangong Zhe bowed down and replied lightly, "This person has a high level of cultivation and patrols...... Didn't hold it! ”

"Ridiculous!"

Emperor Shunze was furious, brushed his sleeves and sprinkled them all over the ground, pointed at Nangong Zhe and reprimanded sharply: "How many Jingwei are in the imperial city, don't you know?!" I can't even catch a person! ”

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the whole hall was panicked.

Nangong Zhe pleaded guiltily, but his tone was not slow, "The Holy One is angry!" ”

In the main hall, a needle drop can be heard in an instant.

Suddenly, a word broke the silence in the hall, "Your lord, the minister is suspicious!" ”

Emperor Shunze saw Nan Rong Siye coming out, waved his sleeves, and sat upright on the chair.

"Say!"

"Yesterday, the high priest guessed that there was a demon eyeliner in the imperial city, and last night someone broke into the Qiancheng Hall at night. In the opinion of the ministers, it is not so much a speculation as someone deliberately disturbing the Holy Hearing! ”

Emperor Shunze was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

"If there is a demon eyeliner in the city, how can you act rashly at this juncture? Isn't it a scare to the snake! Nan Rong Si Ye spoke eloquently, with clear logic, "If there are people in the imperial city who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they hear that the general's mansion has been destroyed, lest the saint worry about the people of the imperial city and open the city to lead a war, what will they do?!" ”

"I will deliberately create an illusion, confirm yesterday's speculation, delay the lockdown time, and wait for the rescue of the four major families!" After Nan Rong Siye's guidance, Guo Wenchen then said Nan Rong Siye's conjecture.

Hearing this, Emperor Shunze was silent, and he must have felt that Nan Rong Siye had some truth in what he said.

"What if that demonic eyeliner sees that things are exposed, and there is no other way to act rashly when he is dying?" Nangong Zhe saw that the saint seemed to be moved, and the ministers in the hall seemed to be inclined to Nan Rong Siye's opinion, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked.

"If you want to understand the terrain of the imperial city, or even the deployment of troops, you don't have to break into the Qiancheng Palace at night!" Nan Rong Siye glanced at Nangong Zhe and said lightly.

Nangong Zhe was speechless to refute, bowed his head and said nothing, waiting for Emperor Shunze's opinion.

"The Qiancheng Hall is the main hall of our court's parliament." Emperor Shunze said lightly, "If that person is not surveying the terrain......

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, his face sank, and he suddenly said sharply, "Instead, are you looking for the Jiuhua Hall in this imperial city?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace were in an uproar!

He Cheng was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Nan Rong Siye seemed to be stunned in place.

Jiuhua Palace! The top secret place of the Imperial City in the north contains a hundred years of history of the Imperial City, and it is also the key to opening the Hook Chen Enchantment, which can be called the top secret of the Imperial City, and its location can only be known by the emperors of previous dynasties.

It is rumored that the Jiuhua Palace, which brings together many deadpools domesticated by the royal family in the past dynasties, is the mysterious source of power for the royal family to protect themselves.

Cold sweat broke out on He Cheng's back, thinking of the dilapidated order he had given to Xiangwu before, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave.

If Xiang Wu infiltrated the imperial city before the closure of the city, with the strength of the head of the Demon Venerable Protector, it would not be difficult to break into the Jiuhua Hall and close the collusion enchantment.

"If it is indeed as the Holy Lord said, now take the initiative to open the city to face the battle, even if that person finds the Jiuhua Palace, he will not be able to influence the situation of the battle!" While He Cheng was thinking about it left and right, Nan Rong Siye had already given up.

"The Jiuhua Palace has always been secretive, and it is the supreme existence of the Imperial City." Nangong Zhe snorted coldly, "As a royal nobleman, doesn't Prince Nanrong know that the imperial power of Tianwei cannot be violated by outsiders?" If outsiders are allowed to peek at its mysteries, what is the royal face? Where is the royal majesty?! ”

"Do you still care about this symbol of royal power? A symbol of royalty? Nan Rong Siye was worried about the people, and when he heard this, he laughed angrily, and sneered, "Besides, whether the matter of the demon's eyeliner is true or false, I'm afraid only the high priest knows it..."

"Brother Wang..."

Emperor Shunze interrupted Nan Rong Siye, turned his head to look at He Cheng, who seemed to be in a daze, and said lightly: "What do you think?" ”

Just now, He Cheng has already weighed left and right, and at this moment he already has a certain number in his heart. He bowed and said, "I think! You should first find out the person who broke into the temple at night. But there is a lot of danger outside the city, time is pressing, and I hope that the saint will give a few days, and the ministers will do their best to arrest this person! ”

"Ah Cheng! You ......"

Hearing this, Nan Rong Siye was shocked, looked at He Cheng for a long time, turned his head helplessly, and sighed, "Hey......"

A moment later, crisp applause rang out in the quiet hall.

Emperor Shunze clapped his hands with satisfaction, and concluded majestically, "Okay! Within three days, be sure to arrest those who break into the Qiancheng Temple at night! ”。

"Minister, take the order!"
