Chapter 44: True and False Information
Ye Qing was a little stunned when he saw the emperor standing here for a while, and he didn't know how to react.
The emperor was also slightly surprised when he saw Ye Qing and the others.
"Why did you slip through the back door? And Wang Ren, didn't I punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors?" asked the Emperor.
These words made Ye Qing a little confused. Could it be that His Majesty was seriously ill, and Lord Zuo Si took the opportunity to join forces with important ministers of the imperial court to block the inner courtyard of the palace?
Although Ye Qing thought so in his heart, he didn't say it.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Qing called and knelt down, and Li Xi and Wang Ren behind him also knelt down.
"The minister heard that something had happened in the palace, so he came to investigate. ”
"Change?" The emperor looked at Ye Qing, as if he didn't know what Ye Qing was talking about.
"You calm down first, and then tell me in detail. ”
With that, the Emperor turned around and found a chair and sat down.
Why? Why did the emperor act as if nothing had happened? Could it be that everything he saw and heard along the way was false?
Ye Qing followed up and put the imperial capital under martial law until he infiltrated the imperial city and found that several commanders of the Imperial Forest Army had told everything.
But all this seemed like a joke in the eyes of the emperor.
"Seriously ill? Do you think I look like I'm seriously ill now?"
"Not really. Ye Qing looked at the emperor and responded.
"What else did I send Gonggong Liu to deliver the decree, those things that all the elders were ambushed are simply ridiculous. A few days ago, my father-in-law's mother was critically ill, so I allowed him to go back, and I personally sent someone to send him back. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qing looked at Wang Ren behind him in disbelief.
At this time, Wang Ren's face was also full of suspicion, obviously all this was such a serious matter, why didn't His Majesty seem to know at all?
"Your Majesty!" Wang Ren knelt down with a thud.
"The minister saw it with his own eyes, and at that time, Gonggong Liu came to the Imperial Forest Army with a secret decree and said that the palace was in trouble!"
The emperor looked coldly at Wang Ren who was kneeling on the ground, and the displeasure on his face became more and more obvious.
"You Wang Ren was drunk and made trouble, I didn't want to care, but who is you here to spread rumors and make trouble now, or do you need to be sober and sober because you haven't drunk until now?" the emperor scolded.
In the face of the emperor's reprimand, Wang Ren's face was even more anxious, and he wanted to continue talking, but was directly interrupted by the emperor.
"That's enough! It seems that it is right to remove your position as the chief, you can go back and think about it behind closed doors in the next few days!"
After saying that, the emperor was going to send someone to drive Wang Ren out.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Ye Qing also knelt down.
"The minister also noticed it on the way back, and recently the imperial capital was under martial law, and the imperial city was blocked, and the minister also felt strange to find Lord Wang, and the truth is exactly like this, please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”
"Facts?"
The emperor walked up to Ye Qing and glanced at Ye Qing.
"I thought you were a smart boy, why are you so confused now!
Ye Qing was speechless, but the imperial city was blocked, and the emperor's martial law was seen with his own eyes, there could be no fake, how could the emperor not know about such a big thing!
I can't figure it out, not only Ye Qing, but everyone can't figure it out.
"Alright, don't say any more, go back. With that, the emperor left the Heart Cultivation Hall by himself.
"What's going on, why is it really as if nothing happened? Obviously, the emperor's martial law is real, and the blockade of the palace is also true, what the hell is going on?"
Ye Qing asked Wang Ren, but where did Wang Ren know, strictly speaking, Wang Ren now knows less than Ye Qing, because he still doesn't know what happened outside the palace, King Dingxing, and he doesn't know anything about Xie Huaizhen, the first master of the Shenji Camp.
Now everyone is like a headless fly, not scratching their heads at all, although the inside of the imperial city now looks the same as usual, but it must not be relaxed because of this.
"Let's find out about the other elders and the Grand Commander first, and see what the situation is on their side. ”
The three of them left the Heart Cultivation Hall and decided to find a place to discuss it first.
After walking quickly for a long time, several people finally found a remote place, where no one usually comes, which is quite suitable for them to discuss now.
"Why do you think this is, why doesn't Your Majesty seem to know anything about what's going on outside?" Ye Qing asked first.
"I don't know, but what I have experienced is certain, Gonggong Liu did find us to deliver the decree that day, there can be no fake!" Wang Ren replied with some anxiety in his tone.
"I have some opinions. ”
On the side, Li Xi suddenly spoke.
"There are only three possibilities that Your Majesty does not know these things when they really happened, one is that he really does not know, and the other is that he knows, but we must pretend not to know. ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted Ye Qing's attention.
"Let's start with the first case. If Your Majesty really doesn't know, it can only mean that someone has a lot of hands and eyes and has hidden such a big news, but I don't think it's possible at this time. After all, we have all found His Majesty to explain the matter, and His Majesty has no suspicion at all. ”
"In the second case, Your Majesty must pretend not to know before us. In this case, the situation may be more critical. In other words, there is a force that His Majesty is very jealous of, watching his every move and controlling him, just imagine, in this case, Your Majesty can only be at the mercy of a puppet. Li Xi said.
"But if that's the case, it's impossible for someone to control all the people in the inner courtyard of the palace at once, and there is no trace of any fighting or other palace changes here, so this explanation doesn't make sense. Ye Qing asked.
"Yes, that's what I'm curious about, and I'm puzzled. These people, who are these guards obeying, and do they know their purpose?"
As he spoke, Li Xian's eyes suddenly stared at Ye Qing tightly.
"There's another possibility. ”
"What is possible?"
"This emperor is fake. Then everything makes sense, why he acted in front of us that he didn't know anything, why the guards were unaware of these things. ”
Listening to Li Xian's words, Ye Qing pondered, if this is the case......
"In either case, we are in a very dangerous situation now!" As soon as Li Xian's words fell, the gate behind him was suddenly rushed open, and a large group of guards from the Imperial Forest Army rushed in, and He Tianyuan bore the brunt.
"Yo, we'll meet again, Lord Ye!"
He Tianyuan looked at Ye Qing, with a smile on his face, and he seemed to have some idea brewing in his heart.
"Who the hell are you? Ye Qing asked with a cold face.
"What person? I am He Tianyuan, the commander of the seventh battalion of the Imperial Forest Army, and you are just a rebel who has committed rebellion!"
After speaking, He Tianyuan waved his hand, and those guards surrounded Ye Qing and the three of them one after another.
The battle was about to break out, and the Chengying Sword was unsheathed almost instantly, and Ye Qing's goal was very clear, that was He Tianyuan.
In the final analysis, these miscellaneous fish are just acting according to orders, and it is difficult to pose a threat to people of their own level, as long as they kill He Tianyuan, it is still very easy to leave. Moreover, Ye Qing had also seen the scene of Gao Lie and He Tianyuan fighting before, and he also had a certain understanding of He Tianyuan's strength, if he was in one go, killing He Tianyuan would only be a matter of moments.
Li Shi and Wang Ren were the queen of Ye Qing's palace, and Ye Qing directly rushed towards He Tianyuan with the Chengying Sword.
However, He Tianyuan watched Ye Qing rush over and kill, but he didn't even take the weapon.
The Chengying Sword slashed over, and He Tianyuan actually hid directly behind a Royal Forest Army, using his body as a shield.
However, this did not stop Ye Qing's offensive.
The Chengying Sword slashed, and the guard was split in half by Ye Qing's sword, revealing He Tianyuan behind him.
"Lord Ye is really a ruthless person. He Tianyuan sneered and continued to dodge.
Walking in the crowd, the number of Imperial Forest Soldiers who died under Ye Qing's hands had reached as many as ten, but the damage caused to He Tianyuan was indeed minimal.
"Hey, Lord Ye, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that the people of the Royal Forest Army will not be killed by you!"
He Tianyuan sneered, this taunt did not make Ye Qing angry, but made Ye Qing calm down.
We can't delay it any longer, because if we continue like this, there will only be more and more enemies, and it will be more and more difficult to end up in the future.
