In the palace of the king of Rencheng, Xianyang Wang Yuanxi and Taishi Feng Xi hurriedly entered.

The two of them were chased back by Yuan Cheng's close attendants, and at this time, they saw Yuan Cheng's face solemn, and Fang Cai Yu Linlang came to report the news, Yuan Xi and Feng Xi were both worried in their hearts.

Without waiting for Yuan Cheng to speak, Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang, you ordered Gu and Taishi to return, but what is the urgent matter for Your Majesty?" ”

Yuan Cheng was already pacing indoors, and at this time, he didn't care about the two of them giving up their seats, so he said: "It's about Your Majesty, and it's only appropriate to discuss with the two of you." ”

The two of them were shocked when they heard this, and Feng Xihu wondered: "King Ren Cheng has always acted on the spot, what made King Ren Cheng hesitate?" ”

Yuan Cheng looked at Feng Xi and said heavily: "Your Majesty suffered an accident on the outskirts of Changyi City, and now his life and death are uncertain!" ”

The honor and disgrace of the Feng family are all tied to the emperor, and when he saw that Yuan Cheng's words were about to fall, Feng Xi's face was already pale, and his voice trembled, and said: "King Rencheng, you said Your Majesty, Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain... Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty encounter an accident..."

Yuan Cheng sighed, and told the two of them all about what Fang Cai Yulin Lang Wei Hua said about the emperor's ambush.

After listening to what Yuan Cheng said, Feng Xi felt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and instantly burst into tears.

Seeing Feng Xi's appearance, Yuan Xi hurriedly approached and helped him to the side of the couch, and while helping him to sit down, he said to Yuan Cheng: "Yu Linwei has captured those ambushes?" ”

Yuan Cheng shook his head and said, "Jiang Yinqi has already sent someone to investigate, and there was no news when Wei Hua came to report the news." ”

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs, who governs benevolently and benefits the people, and my people of Dawei are loved by everyone, where did this assassin come from?" ”

At this time, Feng Xi had gradually eased his mind and hesitated: "The words of the King of Xianyang are like an enlightenment, even if my people of Great Wei will not do this act of killing the king, is it not the work of the Qi people?" ”

Lowering his head and locking his eyebrows, Feng Xi said again: "However, Your Majesty took Zhaoyi to the valley, and only Sanbao and Jiang Yinqi and a few others were close to the side, even the people in the palace did not know, if the person who ambushed him was indeed a Qi person, how did they know His Majesty's whereabouts?" ”

Walking to the side of the couch and sitting opposite Feng Xi, Yuan Cheng said: "The words of the Taishi are not unreasonable, but Your Majesty has moved the palace all the way, and he has given the person with ulterior motives the opportunity to kill the king." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and slowly sat down, and when he sat down, he spoke: "Your Majesty is experiencing an accident now, even if the dragon body is unharmed and needs to recuperate, you can't worry about state affairs anymore." However, if this country has no owner, it will be a government with many doors, so it is better to let the prince supervise the regent of the country to solve the urgent need. ”

Feng Xi frowned tightly and said, "The King of Xianyang is very worried, but the prince has not yet opened the mansion, if he rashly regents, I am afraid that His Majesty will be blamed in the future." ”

Yuan Xi retorted: "The prince is the prince of the country, although he has not yet opened the mansion, but this time he has performed the spring sacrifice ceremony on behalf of the king, and besides, His Majesty has wanted to perform the ceremony of the resignation sacrifice for the prince to open the mansion to marry the left and right sons, and now that something happened suddenly, how can Your Majesty blame!" ”

Feng Xi shook his head and said: "If the crown prince is regent at this time, it will undoubtedly inform the world that Your Majesty has encountered an accident. If this matter is really done by Qi people, wouldn't it be a national disaster? ”

Yuan Xi was conceited: "Those who win the Central Plains win the world, such as Kyushu today, my Great Wei has its eight states, the so-called Baoding becomes a hegemony, my Great Wei soldiers are brave and good at fighting, can you still be afraid of the Nanren?" ”

Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing, Yuan Cheng coughed lightly and said unhappily: "Now that Your Majesty is in danger, we need to settle our minds and conspire with expedient measures, instead of speaking quickly here!" ”

Glancing at the two of them, Yuan Cheng said: "What the Taishi said is not unreasonable, Lone has already rushed to Changyi with someone to hurry up, and he will know His Majesty's current situation by tomorrow night at the latest." The prince is the ruler of the country, and he teaches ***, so there is a master Lao who will inform the prince of this matter in case of emergency. ”

After a pause, Yuan Cheng looked at Yuan Xi again and said: "The King of Xianyang is His Majesty's closest relative, and he has blessed the hussar general, starting from tonight, this Gyeonggi important place should be strengthened in defense to prevent accidents." ”

Yuan Xi fell silent when he heard this, and said no more.

There was silence all around, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard outside the window.

The Yulin guards followed the horse trail all the way to the city of Changyi, and there was no trace to follow.

This Changyi city has been a place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fei Ting Hou Cao Mengde was appointed as Yanzhou Mu here, and this city was divided into one hundred and twenty squares, which were criss-crossed and criss-crossed, and the squares were connected. From the Warring States period to the present dynasty, the area around Changyi was a traffic fortress, so there was a lot of traffic in the city, and it was not easy to find someone here.

Jiang Yinqi got the report from Yulin Lang, so he discussed with Sanbao and said: "Eunuch, this Changyi City extends in all directions, even if the Yulin guards search from house to house, I am afraid that they will not be able to find them, and this move will definitely make the people panic." ”

Seeing that Sanbao nodded, Jiang Yinqi continued: "I think about it, it is better to inform Liu Wanqing, the assassin of Yanzhou, about this." He is the head of Yanzhou, and he is familiar with the terrain of Changyi, and if he helps him, it can be convenient to find those who killed the monarch in Changyi City. ”

Sanbao pondered for a moment and said, "This Liu Wanqing can also be regarded as a loyal person, so he will act according to Lord Jiang's wishes." ”

Liu Wanqing was originally from Changyi, although he is now moved to Fangqiu in Lizhou, but he is very familiar with this Changyi City.

After getting the news of the emperor's attack, he was really shocked, and after a moment of relaxation, Liu Wanqingfang opened his mouth and said to Sanbao and Jiang Yinqi: "Eunuch, Lord Jiang, this Changyi City takes Shengming Street as the central axis, and there are sixty squares in the north and south. The north side is where the former dynasty government is located, and most of them are inhabited by people from the family, and each family is clear; When the market opens in the south, it is crowded with people living in the market, so it is more chaotic. If they are really hiding in the city, they should go to the south to search for it..."

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Wanqing said: "There are two cities in the east and west in the south square, and there were several inns in the west market in the early years. ”

When Jiang Yinqi heard this, he hurriedly said, "Oh? Lord Liu, can these abandoned inns have entrances and exits in recent weeks? ”

Liu Wanqing nodded and said: "Changyi City is a transportation fortress, and in order to facilitate the exchange of merchants from all over the world, there is a direct entrance to the official road. ”

Before Liu Wanqing could speak, Jiang Yinqi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, this kind of place is the best place for thieves to take refuge." ”

After that, Jiang Yinqi summoned Yu Linlang into the room and said, "Pass the order and act immediately." Zhang Ye led 50 people to fence off the abandoned inn in Xishi, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and then Cao Siyang and Zheng Yongqing each led 30 people into the search. ”

After a slight pause, Jiang Yinqi said again: "Remember not to startle the snake, if you find any traces of them, surround them first and then fight, and be sure to leave them alive!" ”
