The carriage drove on the palace road for a long time, and the outside of the palace was a large wall, and inside it was the size of a town, and the palace where the court and the concubines lived were inside, and they had to pass through a gate before entering it.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate, and Yang Zhi got out of the car with a calm face, without looking at Xiao Feng from beginning to end.

When he had entered the door, one of the guards said, "I'll take you to the carriage and come with me." ”

Xiao Feng didn't answer, just nodded obediently, and then drove the carriage and slowly followed the guards.

He was very familiar with this palace, but it was all on the side of the inner palace, and it was the first time he had entered as an attendant, so he could only stay in the outer palace, so he saw the route all the way, including where there were guards, where there were often soldiers patrolling, etc., everything he remembered in his heart.

After about a stick of incense, the guards took him to the stable, next to it was a good horse in captivity, and there were many carriages parked around, most of them were luxuriously decorated, and at first glance it was an extraordinary carriage, but the horse tied in front was in the stable, and only Xiao Feng had a horse.

It's not the last dynasty now, and there is no palace banquet, so he looks very different by himself.

The guard glanced at him and said, "You just wait here, don't run around, if you break anywhere, be careful that your head hits the ground." ”

Xiao Feng hurriedly nodded, indicating that he understood.

When the guards saw that he knew, they didn't say much, and left directly, and muttered in a low voice when they left: "It's really strange, didn't General Yang ride directly into the palace in the past, unless he was injured, he would only enter the palace in a carriage, but today General Yang is obviously fine, why is he still riding in a carriage?" It's weird. ”

Since Yang Zhi rarely entered the palace in carriages, these guards were not very familiar with Yang Zhi's groom, and they also specially admonished him.

Xiao Feng watched the guards leave, and only after the surroundings were empty did he begin to look at the surrounding environment.

Opposite the carriage is the towering red wall, about ten meters, Xiao Feng turned around and got into the carriage, took out his night clothes from under the seat of the carriage, and after changing his clothes, he got off the carriage and walked to the corner of the palace wall.

He looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he used his toes to lift his breath, and went up to the red wall, flying straight up from the red wall like a nimble gecko.

After reaching the apex, he retracted his strength, poked out his head to see if there were any soldiers patrolling on the opposite side, and when he saw that there was no one, he turned over and went down the wall with confidence.

Chengqing Palace.

Xiao Dezi pushed open the door and said, "Your Majesty, General Yang asks to see your emperor." ”

"Why is he here? Let him in. Jun Huaiyu said, then sat up and waited for Yang Zhi to come in.

After Yang Zhi came in, he first saluted respectfully: "The minister has seen the emperor." ”

"Flat, what is the matter with asking to see me?" Jun Huaiyu asked.

Yang Zhi got up and said, "Back to the emperor, the minister was suddenly assassinated in the camp today. ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Jun Huaiyu say in surprise: "Assassination!" Aiqing, are you in trouble? ”

Yang Zhi replied: "Emperor Xie cares, the minister is fine, the minister has sent someone to find the assassin, but this assassin has strong martial arts, his whereabouts are secretive, the minister is incompetent, and the murderer has not been caught, the minister is worried about the emperor's comfort to you, so he hurried into the palace to inform the emperor of this matter, so that the emperor can strengthen the precautions in the palace." ”

"Aiqing really has a heart, I will send someone to strengthen the precautions in the palace, I wonder if the general knows the intention of those assassins and who they are?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister doesn't know for the time being, but the minister guesses that it may be Hu Xia people, Cheng Qi country, the minister has not seen a master who can shoot arrows hundreds of miles, so that the minister can't catch him, Hu Xia people are good at riding and shooting, this time I'm afraid that the master is coming, so the minister is worried about the emperor's safety, and I came to inform the emperor so that the emperor can take precautions!" Yang Zhidao.

As soon as he heard hundreds of miles, Jun Huaiyu's dark eyes seemed to have a memory, and he said softly: "His arrows can shoot hundreds of miles." ”

Yang Zhi chuckled in his heart, and reluctantly calmed down: "Yes, Xiao Aofeng's archery skills are also excellent, and he can shoot hundreds of miles away, and now Hu Xia also has such a powerful master, even if he has to be careful to guard against it, this palace is empty, there is no shelter, if the emperor is traveling, he has to take a sedan chair, so as not to let the thief get his hands on it." ”

Jun Huaiyu didn't think much about it, nodded and said: "Okay, I know, you risked your life to come here to run this trip, I am very relieved, I let you be a villain for me, and executed Old Madam Xiao, you still care about my safety, I am very pleased." ”

"You know, it's not that I can't tolerate an old woman in my heart, but now that the situation in Chengqi is critical, and my throne is even more precarious, keeping her will only give those rebellious ministers and thieves a rebellious mind, I can't let these people unite and fight against me again, do you understand?"

Yang Zhi lowered his head and replied: "The minister understands that the emperor is for the stability of Chengqi, the minister can understand, the minister will not resent Your Majesty, for the sake of Chengqi, the minister is willing to go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up." ”

"I never doubt your loyalty, I have always known that you are brave and loyal, defending your family and country, and I am willing to promote you to this position, and you have not disappointed me, but I have always had a doubt in my heart, is it more important to inherit the people or I am more important in your heart?" Jun Huaiyu's sharp eyes suddenly fell on Yang Zhi, giving people an invisible oppression.

Yang Zhi raised his head open-mindedly, looked straight at Jun Huaiyu, and said: "The emperor is the lord of the world, there is only the emperor in the world, if there is no emperor, the world will be in chaos, protect the emperor and be loyal to the emperor, that is to protect the family and defend the country!" ”

His answer is called a tact, indicating that he seems to be loyal to Jun Huaiyu, but in fact, he is only talking about the identity of the emperor, not Jun Huaiyu, that is to say, as long as he does not let Chengqi have no owner and does not let the world be in chaos, he can be loyal to whoever he is loyal to and who he can do things for.

Jun Huaiyu looked at his determined gaze, and the corners of his mouth raised a faint arc, as if he was sarcastic and seemed to be determined to win.

"I heard some people's opinions on me from one of my favorite concubines today, they think that I am a faint king, misjudged Xiao Aofeng, and think that I am incompetent, and the talented Chengqi is going to war again, what do you think?"

"Back to the emperor, this has nothing to do with the emperor, it is the ambition of the wolf son of other countries, and he has long coveted Chengqi, if it weren't for Xiao Aofeng's deterrence, I am afraid that he would have been unable to hold back his wolf ambition for a long time, it is useless to be a minister, far less powerful than Xiao Aofeng, and he can't share the emperor's worries, and the people who harm him misunderstand the emperor so much, and ask the emperor to punish him!" Yang Zhi knelt down without hesitation and confessed.
