Chapter 712: A Strange Decree
"It used to be ...... I don't know if it's a ......."
A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered the beautiful and gentle Bai Xiaohan like a butterfly.
Xu Rui nodded and continued to deal with the wound that was about to leave.
To be stunned: "Why, don't you ask me about the story of dark chess?" ”
Xu Rui shrugged: "I don't call your past, I only care if you have passed." ”
Yaoli thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head, and asked again: "Even if I am no longer a dark chess person, maybe I know a lot of secrets of dark chess, so you don't have anything to ask?" ”
Xu Rui bandaged the wound and said, "Of course I will ask what I should ask, but not now." ”
Yao Li wondered: "Then what are you going to do now?" ”
"Revenge!"
Two words popped out of Xu Rui's mouth firmly.
He frowned and said nervously, "Is something happening to the shadow maid?" ”
Xu Rui said calmly: "I was injured, but my life is safe, this is enough for that martial saint to pay for his life." ”
To leave seems to understand something: "Do you want to stand up?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "It's not a simple Liwei, it's my bottom line that I can't sin my family, I want to avenge the shadow maid, this is one of them, and the second is to know to the whole world, whoever dares to touch my bottom line, I will fight with whom, even the martial saint has to die!" ”
"Hmph, you said that the martial saint is like a chicken, and his tone is not small."
I want to leave laughing at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui sneered: "Ning Qian is dead, as I said, the gods can't save him!" ”
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Xu Rui had already treated all the wounds, clapped his hands and stood up, and asked, "Can I go?" ”
He shook his head helplessly.
Xu Rui grabbed the hand that was leaving, carried him on his back, and walked towards the outside of the broken temple.
Outside the broken temple, the Heavenly Apocalypse Guard had already been assembled, and Xu Rui was about to put him on a horse, so that Qin Fei, who had just arrived, and a few personal soldiers would take care of him.
"Dashuai, what should we do now?"
Zhang Zuofeng had been staying by Xu Rui's side, and when he saw that he was settling down and leaving, he hurriedly asked.
Xu Rui said coldly: "The rebellious party dares to openly murder people near Changxing City, if it is not enough to promote the prestige of my Great Wei State, it is natural to wipe it out, you will now order the whole army of the first brigade to be assembled, and go with this commander to arrest the rebellious party!" ”
Zhang Zuofeng was stunned: "Dashuai, we fought too quickly just now, and we didn't leave a living, where are we going to find those remnants of the chaotic party at this moment?" ”
Xu Rui sneered: "Why do you need to live? The official document of the Ministry of Rites made it clear that these rebellious parties, as envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty, would enter Changxing City as soon as dawn, where did you say that foreign envoys would be before entering Beijing? ”
Zhang Zuofeng said in a deep voice: "You mean they will be at the post station?" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "By the way, immediately order the whole army to surround Longquanyi, and the foreign envoys who are going to enter Beijing the next day will stay there, let's directly serve them tonight, lest they enter Beijing tomorrow, and Ben Shuai will have to lift Honglu Temple!" ”
Zhang Zuofeng's face changed when he heard this, knowing that since Xu Rui could say it, he would definitely be able to do it, and if he really opened the Honglu Temple, there would definitely be a lot of trouble, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to be assembled left and right to avoid the worst.
"Tweet ......"
Several signals shot up into the sky, exploding into clusters of brilliant flames, and the light spread far and wide in the night sky.
The battalion of the 1st Brigade more than ten miles away clearly saw the signal, and the adjutant, who had been on high alert, immediately issued an order for the whole army to assemble, and the silent battalion instantly boiled.
At the same time, Xu Rui withdrew from the broken temple with the rapid reaction team of the 1st Brigade and went straight to Longquanyi.
His plan was not to give the East China Sea Sword God any respite, and immediately launched a surprise attack on Longquanyi with his current strength, strangling his deity and all his disciples and grandchildren.
The remaining men and horses of the 1st Brigade that are being assembled will be used as reinforcements to block all directions of Longquan Station, and once the battle situation is slightly unfavorable, or the East China Sea Sword God intends to break through, he will directly blow it into powder with artillery and other heavy firepower.
However, Xu Rui's wishful thinking clanged, but the team had just turned back from the broken temple to the official road when they encountered a group of uninvited guests.
Xu Rui had to pull the reins of his horse and completely suspend his plan to raid Longquanyi.
Because although there are not many uninvited guests in this team, they are all forbidden troops in the palace, and the leader is Wang Shun!
Seeing Wang Shun wearing the stars and the moon, hurrying under the escort of a group of forbidden troops, and even the dead man's face had a rare trace of anxiety, Xu Rui immediately realized that things might not be so simple.
Sure enough, the moment he saw Xu Rui, Wang Shun was relieved, hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked quickly past the soldiers who were the forwards, and came to Xu Rui's side, and then took out a bright yellow holy decree from his arms and cleared his throat.
"Xu Rui takes the order!"
Xu Rui frowned when he heard this, and had to jump off the warhorse, knelt down and said, "Minister Xu Rui takes the order." ”
Wang Shun glanced at Xu Rui, and actually put away the holy decree again, and said loudly: "Spread the holy edict, and Xuan Champion Hou Xu Rui will enter the palace immediately!" ”
"What?"
Hearing Wang Shun's words, everyone was stunned, it was already the middle of the night, and Emperor Hongwei would announce Xu Rui's entry into the palace at this time?
This oracle is not only abnormal, but also violates the clan system, this moment is not a wartime, nor is it a national emergency, the locked palace door cannot be easily opened, how can Xu Rui enter the palace to face the saint?
If it weren't for Wang Shun, the chief housekeeper of the inner court who was loyal to Emperor Hongwei, everyone would probably think that someone had faked the decree and wanted to trick Xu Rui into the palace gate and get rid of him.
However, Xu Rui already had a plan in his heart.
Tonight's message was delivered by Wang Shun, who would not leave the palace easily, and Wang Shun was very nervous about this trip, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with his own footsteps, or that he would not listen to orders.
Obviously, all this was instructed by Emperor Hongwei, who didn't want to kill the East China Sea Sword God by himself, and gave a strict order.
The holy decree that Wang Shun took out earlier was probably the edict that he would immediately remove from all his positions after disobeying the order and be guarded by the forbidden army, and the reason why Wang Shun took it out in advance was to give himself a warning and vaguely remind himself that he was in danger.
Calculated from the point of view of time, he had just finished the battle of breaking the temple, and Wang Shun had already arrived with the holy decree, indicating that someone had sent the news to the palace since he left the princess's mansion, and Emperor Hongwei had already known what he wanted to do, so he gave the holy decree without a trace of hesitation.
Obviously, Emperor Hongwei not only knew about the existence of the East China Sea Sword God for a long time, but also knew the purpose of Xu Rui's coming to break the temple, but how did he know about it? And why do you want to protect that martial saint?
Could it be that this martial saint was recruited by Emperor Hongwei himself?
Probably not......
Xu Rui quickly denied his idea, because the energy of a martial saint is huge, and the variables brought by it are too huge, with the psychology of Emperor Hongwei controlling everything, he would never want such a huge variable.
But in this way, Emperor Hongwei's oracle became even more strange.
What happened in the palace?
Just thinking about it, Wang Shun slowly walked to Xu Rui's side and whispered in his ear: "Ning Qian can't be killed now, Hou Ye doesn't need to ask more, the Holy Lord still has a heavy task to hand over to Hou Ye." ”
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Wang Shun.
Wang Shun looked left and right and sighed: "Let's go, there will be more wind and rain in Changxing City." ”
Xu Rui frowned when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Is this matter related to the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Wang Shun shook his head: "I don't know, after entering the palace for a while, the Hou Ye just listens, don't ask more." ”
Xu Rui's face sank and nodded.
