Guo Mansion.

King Xin and Guo Shoufu stared at the bookstore for half an hour, and finally left with brisk steps.

The second family he visited was Liu's house.

Liu Cifu personally went out to greet him, with a smile and a little restraint.

"Today, I don't know what happened to the sudden visit of the prince? But what is Your Majesty's will? ”

King Shin nodded, "That's true. ”

Liu Cifu made a deferential appearance, and the next second he was frightened by the black-armored soldiers who poured out from behind King Xin.

"What is this doing? Xia Guan has been in the cabinet for ten years, and he has always been conscientious, serving the first emperor and working hard for the court, and he has never done anything wrong! I don't know what crime the lower officials have committed today, and they have to bother the prince to arrest him personally? ”

Liu Cifu was not frightened into the six gods, but was stunned for a while and then asked loudly.

The two happened to be standing at the gate of Liu's Mansion, and this dispute quickly attracted the attention of passers-by and other people at the gate of the mansion.

King Xin had a cold face, arched his hand to the west, and said in a deep voice: "This king is hereby ordered by His Majesty to arrest Liu Ying, who dares to question it?" Liu Ying, as an important minister of the cabinet, is obedient on the surface, but privately colludes with the ladies of the inner palace and gets involved in the Imperial Forest Army, intending to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, the evidence is conclusive, and he should be punished for his crimes! Come on, take it for this king! There are one hundred and seven people in the Liu Mansion, and none of them can be spared! ”

The black-armored soldiers rushed in, and the Liu Mansion quickly became chaotic, and the two servants who were originally guarding the door were also so frightened that they fell to their knees and didn't dare to say a word.

Liu Cifu's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything to stop those people.

"There must be a basis for believing in the prince's words! Xia Guan Qingliu was born, and now he is less than sixty years old, and he is now an official to the second assistant, not to mention that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, but it is also very important, why should he collude with someone to seek the usurpation of the throne? Moreover, there is no female dependant in the lower official's family who serves the king in the palace, so how can he collude with the female dependents of the inner palace? What evidence is conclusive, this is completely false and smeared! Who the hell is it? Who's hurting me? ”

His expression was full of power, and he really calmed down many onlookers for a while.

Liu Cifu shouted: "Believe in the prince, the lower officials have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me so much?" Is it what Guo Shoufu meant? ”

King Shin's face was helpless.

"Lord Cifu, although the Liu family has no female dependents in the palace as concubines, the older generation can ...... Oh, you and I know it well, why do you need to say it so clearly in front of everyone? Since His Majesty has made a will, he has naturally made a decision. You are a tiger, and the crimes you have committed over the years are too numerous to mention, manipulating the election of officials and buying official positions...... Even if you don't plot to usurp the throne, you won't end well. If you want this king to say, you should rest as soon as possible, save some effort to talk to Dali Temple! ”

King Xin waved his hand, and the soldiers around him rushed up, tied up Liu Cifu Wuhuanda, and escorted him into the palace.

King Xin turned his head and glanced at it, and the onlookers at the gate suddenly scattered.

At this time, Liu Cifu showed a hint of cruelty.

"The prince of Xin has arrested the lower officials, and he keeps saying that he has served His Majesty's will, but what if His Majesty can't return to the city today?"

King Xin's expression turned cold, "There is no need for Liu Cifu to worry." With this effort, let's think more about my family! ”

Liu Cifu snorted heavily, and said disapplausively: "The prince of Xin holds chicken feathers as an arrow, even if he captures the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?" At this moment, I am afraid that King Xiao'an has already entered the palace...... The little emperor was stubborn and self-serving, and his bloodline was suspicious, and he deserved to end up like this. King Xin is the heir of the first emperor, and the two disaster relief before and after are also quite talented, if you can get lost, the Queen Mother will not bury a talent like you. King Xiao An is still young, and he still needs a right-hand man in the clan......"

Shin Wang's face distorted, and he actually smiled slowly.

"Liu Cifu, Liu Cifu, you think it's quite beautiful, this will be a prisoner and want to rebel against this king! You don't want to think about it, if you don't control the most important chess piece of King Xiao'an, will this king come to catch you first? ”

King Shin shook his head, his tone a little disdainful.

"You are an ordinary civil official, you can't fight, you can't run fast, this king naturally came here when everything was ready. Otherwise, where did you get such a big face? ”

Liu Cifu's face stiffened, and he was still a little unconvinced.

The Queen Mother and he have been planning this matter for several years, and it happened to be a godsend, so that the little emperor was fascinated by the goddess of the palace, and ran out of the palace many times, and also took the woman to the incense to pray for blessings. Previously, the reason why he pressed those impeachments and made the little emperor more unscrupulous and free to leave the palace was for today's best opportunity!

Obviously, everything is arranged, how can the other party take the lead?

Shin King's mocking voice sounded again.

Although the queen mother is the queen mother of this king, this king still can't help but be curious. The Queen Mother has been in the palace for almost 30 years, except for the annual New Year's Festival and Wanshou Festival, you two should not have a chance to meet, right? Even if you have a little bit of childhood sweetheart, but just like this, you are a dignified cabinet minister, and you are willing to be a pawn of a harem woman and children? It's ridiculously tight! I heard that Liu Cifu and Mrs. Liu have a very close relationship, and I don't know what Mrs. Liu will think if she knows about this......"

Liu Cifu's face was completely white, and he had nothing to say.

Even the relationship between the Queen Mother and him before entering the palace was clear, and this was completely prepared!

Perhaps, today the little emperor deliberately drove out of the city lightly, just to let them relax their vigilance and lead them into the urn!

The people of Liu Mansion were panicked, men, women and children were tied together like a group of grasshoppers, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

At the same time, there was no peace in the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager He swept the teacup to the ground with a slap and asked sharply: "What do you mean that you can't find anyone?" The mourning family asked you to pick up people, and now you have come to tell the mourning family that the person is gone? You guys are so big! ”

A eunuch kneeling on the ground said with a bitter face: "The slave maid doesn't know what's going on, I originally picked up Prince An at the gate of the palace, and the slave maid came to Cining Palace." I didn't want to, but when I walked to the Imperial Garden, my eyes suddenly went dark, and I fainted......"

The other eunuch kowtowed and said, "The same is true of slaves and maids!" After waking up, Prince An was gone. The slave maid thought that King An was naughty and played in the imperial garden, so she searched for a while. The slave saw that she couldn't find anyone, so she hurriedly came back to tell her mother......"

"Two dog minions! Lack of success, more than failure! ”

Empress Dowager He waved her hand angrily, "Send everyone out to find it!" And these two dogs, dragged out to beat, beaten a hundred sticks! ”

The original foolproof plan was completely disrupted, and Ren is Queen Mother's forbearance couldn't help but be irritated at the moment.

Those two were originally strong eunuchs raised in her palace, not only with great strength, but also very fast. The reason why they were sent out was to prevent them from being stopped by the guards. Unexpectedly, all the things she prepared were useless!

The two suddenly fell into a bizarre coma at the same time, and the ghost believed that it would be a coincidence!

"It must be the hands and feet of the emperor or the second concubine Shuxian! It is impossible for them to guess the intention of the mourning family, why did they do this? ”

In a quiet palace not far from Cining Palace, the thin King An was also confused and asked the man in front of him a question.

"Why is this king staying here? Didn't the Queen Mother's grandmother summon the king to the palace for an audience? Your ruler is not as big as your grandmother, and you dare to rob this king, are you not afraid that your grandmother will cut off your head? ”

Seeing King Xiao'an's domineering demeanor, Commander Li only sighed slightly, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the plain crown on King An's head.

At that time, King An's Fengshen Yuxiu talked elegantly, which made most of the court's school-age palace ladies fall in love with it. But this Xiao An Wang only inherited his father's good looks, but his temperament was not similar at all. Sure enough, he has grown up in the hands of women for many years, and he has been raised to be tricky and cowardly!

The Queen Mother is already like this, and Princess An is ...... In the future, Your Majesty will have to worry a lot.

Thinking so, Commander Li looked at the void in the distance, and muttered, "According to the plan, Your Majesty should also come back, right?" If you don't return for a long time, isn't something wrong? ”

His Majesty the Emperor also wanted to come back, but he was still on the mountain behind the Qingjue Temple at the moment.

After Deputy Commander Zhang found out that he had been deceived, he gave an order and chased after him angrily with three men in black. But after chasing for a while, I didn't see half a figure, and I knew that I had been fooled for the second time, and I was so angry that I almost exploded on the spot.

"They didn't come down from here, they must have gone back the way they came!"

Deputy Commander Zhang was so majestic that he had to divide his troops into two ways to block Huo Yanzhi and them, one of which went back along the original road, and the other went straight to Meilin.

Thinking of the embarrassment of getting lost in Merlin, his subordinates hesitated, especially the one who was the first to waver and prepare to surrender.

"Commander, if what His Majesty said just now is true, even if we catch him, it will be useless. Why don't you take advantage of the chaos and run away? ”

He weakly raised his hand to propose, but was spat by Deputy Commander Zhang.

"Idiot! If the emperor had the bottom in his heart, what did he just run? If you can't understand this thing, you know that you sell your teammates! You follow me, the other two all the way, go search immediately! ”

The other two immediately clasped their fists to show their loyalty: "Rest assured, the two of us will never be treacherous!" That dog emperor is full of lies, his bloodline is not correct, and everyone will be punished! ”

Deputy Commander Zhang nodded in satisfaction and glared at the third person with a threatening gaze.

The four men split into two lines and soon disappeared into the middle or outskirts of the woods.

The two black-clothed men who were going to Merlin swore a good word, but they beat a small drum in their hearts, especially when they found themselves starting to go around in circles again.

One of them said, "Don't be afraid, the Commander told us the secret." As long as you stand on a high place, you can see through the clouds. Come, hold on to this tree, and I'll climb up and see. ”

The other readily agreed.

After doing this and this, the man who went up the tree just poked his head out, and felt that his eyes were dark and his forehead was cold.

A palm-sized stone flew from nowhere, smashing a shallow mark on the man's head, and blood snaked down. Then, as soon as his eyes closed, he collapsed and fell directly to the ground.

"What's going on? Where did the blood come from? What's wrong with you—"

Behind a few bushes of flowers and trees, two figures loomed, but found a new hiding place before the man in black could find out.

Not long after, another stone attack came more violently than Fang Cai, hitting the second man in black in the back of the head.

The man in black shook, as if he wanted to look back, but rolled his eyes and fainted.

Huo Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly rushed over, picked up the swords of the two, made up for each of the two lying on the ground, and threw another one to Jiang Xue.

He said step by step: "The first throw you made just now was good, but the strength was not enough." Fortunately, the stone was sharp enough, otherwise the effect would not be so good. Your master is injured and can't run fast, if you bump into the surnamed Zhang in a while, you have to protect her. ”

"Where am I so delicate? It's not those guards......"

Zhi Wei limped out from behind the flower tree, still holding Fang Cai's dagger in her hand, with a slightly disgusted expression.

Jiang Xue smiled and said: "Fortunately, the girl and Your Majesty have a good heart, and they retreated to the corner of the original road in time, and hid in Merlin, so that the three of us were able to escape, and we also rescued the two guard brothers, which is really good." It's a pity that they are seriously injured and can not move for a while. Shall we take the initiative to deal with the coward, surnamed Zhang, or will we wait for the rabbit? ”

"It's too passive to wait for the rabbit, and it's naturally not advisable!" Huo Yanzhi said without hesitation.

Zhi Wei frowned suddenly, listened attentively for a moment, and said solemnly: "Someone is here again, just outside the forest, there are at least seven or eight." ”

"Could it be that the traitors came to their aid?" Jiang Xue was startled, and held the blood-stained long knife in her hand tightly.

Huo Yanzhi said: "Not necessarily. If it was a raccoon dog with the surname Zhang, it should have come from the beginning. Maybe it's one of us, let's go, go and meet directly! ”

"This is too risky...... Zhi Wei hesitated.

Huo Yanzhi's voice was very gentle when he faced her, but his tone was unquestionable.

"It's okay, just gamble! It's a big deal to recite Fang Cai's rhetoric again, the surname Zhang swayed when he heard it, and those pawns under him were better fooled. Moreover, if the injuries of those two people dragged on, I was afraid that they would freeze to death in the forest. Come with me to them and see what is sacred! ”
