Chapter 43: The Strange of Peace
In front of the palace gate, two cowering figures sneaked in, these two people were Ye Qing and Li Xian.
Sneaking into the palace, Ye Qing first planned to go to investigate the situation of the Royal Forest Army, after all, most of the people in the Royal Forest Army were people he trusted, and his strength was also trustworthy.
The information outside the palace is too scarce, Ye Qing really can't imagine what the situation is inside the palace, there are still six commanders and a great commander in the Imperial Forest Army, as well as those old monsters who maintain the great array of protecting the country in the depths of the palace......
Ye Qing really couldn't imagine what kind of strength could control such an imperial city.
The two of them walked all the way towards the dormitory of the Imperial Forest Army, fortunately, Ye Qing was more familiar with this place, and only picked those hidden paths along the way, although it was a little slower, but it was safe.
After a while, the two of them first passed by the training ground of the Royal Forest Army, which seemed to be nothing strange from the outside, but there were fewer people.
Ye Qing looked at it, there was not a single official above the rank of chief, and the highest official position was a few chiefs who presided over the drill there.
Ye Qing took Li Xian and quietly walked around to the back door of the Royal Forest Army dormitory, but fortunately, there was no one here at the back door.
Gently pushing the door open, the courtyard of the dormitory was silent, and there was a lot of dust scattered there.
This yard is where the elders live, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Could it be that no one has come in here for a long time? Shouldn't it, I have only been away from the imperial capital for a few days, and everything was fine before leaving, could it be that as soon as I left those elders, they all suddenly disappeared?
There was no trace of a fight in the courtyard, and Ye Qing began to move towards the inner room along the corner.
The first room was originally a high spirit, and there would be no one to come. However, for the sake of safety, Ye Qing still gently pushed the door open a crack. There was nothing in the room, so Ye Qing closed the door and continued to move towards the other rooms.
Ye Qing kept pushing open the doors of the nine rooms without seeing anyone, and this last one was his own room.
As soon as he stood at the door, a strange smell wafted out from between the cracks in the door, and Ye Qing smelled the smell and only felt that his legs and feet suddenly became weak.
Ye Qing immediately realized that there was something wrong with this thing, so he mobilized his spiritual power to seal his nose and mouth, and Li Xian did the same.
After getting ready, Ye Qing gently pushed the door open.
As soon as the door was opened, the scene made Ye Qing a little surprised, only to see a bunch of people lying on the ground in the room, Ye Qing looked closely, these people turned out to be officials above the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and after counting, there were as many as seven people!
How could it be! The Imperial Forest Army was the force responsible for the security of the imperial capital, and each of the ten thousand commanders was one in a thousand good skills, how could they be thrown here so easily!
Ye Qing squatted down and took a look, these people had no scars on their bodies, although their breathing was very weak, but their middle qi was very sufficient, and they should have been controlled by this strange gas.
Helping one person up, Ye Qing transported his spiritual power from behind him, this is nothing, as soon as he was transported in, Ye Qing found that the meridians around this person were all blocked by some cold spiritual power that did not know the details.
No wonder they're all half-dead now, is it this thing that made the hell?
Ye Qing used spiritual power to block this person's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and then infused more spiritual power into this person's body, wanting to open up his meridians.
......
After a long while, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and put the person against the wall.
"Lord Li, their meridians have been blocked, but they can be opened by relying on external forces, we try to open their meridians as quickly as possible, and after they recover, they are also a combat power that cannot be underestimated. Ye Qing proposed.
Li Xi nodded, and then the two of them began to rescue the ground chiefs separately, and after about a stick of incense, all the people were finally rescued.
After everyone was rescued, one person woke up first. This person Ye Qing is also quite impressed, Wang Ren of the Seventh Battalion, one of the elders that His Majesty is more interested in.
"Lord Ye, you...... You're back!" Wang Ren seemed a little excited when he saw Ye Qing, and then his eyes fell on Li Shi's body, but he found that he didn't know him.
"This is ......"
"The criminal minister of the Liberated City, Li Shi. Li Shi replied.
"Sinner......" Wang Ren's eyes flashed with this strange emotion: "Those who are here are already sinners." ”
"Wang Ren, what's going on?Why did such a big thing happen in the imperial capital in just a few days, and people outside the imperial city didn't know anything about the situation?" Ye Qing asked very anxiously.
"I didn't know that after you left that day, there was a sudden disturbance of assassins in the palace, and it lasted for a whole day. All the generals of the Imperial Forest Army were sent out to search for the assassins, but no clues were found. ”
"Then that night, Gonggong Liu suddenly came to the Imperial Forest Army with a secret decree and summoned all the commanders and commanders, saying that Your Majesty was suddenly seriously ill, and let us bring two thousand men and horses to protect Your Majesty's dormitory. Who knew that as soon as the decree was announced, I suddenly felt a period of weakness in my body and then lost consciousness. ”
According to Wang Ren's words, it is certain that there are people in the palace who are making trouble, but what is the purpose of their rebellion, and since Your Majesty asked your personal Gonggong Liu to bring a secret decree to gather people and horses to protect yourself, does it mean that Your Majesty actually knows what happened?
Ye Qing felt that the most important thing now was to be able to meet the emperor and figure out what the real situation was, but it was not so simple to meet the emperor, after all, he didn't know who the enemy was except for a Zuo Si.
However, judging from the previous situation of the emperor's deployment of troops to protect himself, the number of enemies should not be much, after all, only a thousand people were transferred at that time, but the number was not many at that time, so what about now?
There is so little information that it seems that there are no tactics in place right now.
Ye Qing was thinking about it, and the other five people also woke up one after another. They all know about the same, nothing special. And now Gonggong Liu doesn't know where to go, so he can only find a way to find information by himself.
Ye Qing took a look, and now there are a total of nine people.
Nine people, and the Grand Commander is not there.
The strength of the Great Commander has always been Ye Qing's goal, if he is there, it will definitely be of great help......
Nine people gathered around to discuss what to do next. Except for Ye Qing and Li Xian, the other seven are all Qianchang, and no one is convinced by anyone, even if Ye Qing has the blessing of the identity of the little marquis, he can't control the scene.
If you continue to argue like this, it is estimated that it will soon be discovered by the enemy. So in desperation, the nine decided to divide themselves into groups and act on their own.
This is also a way to do no way, there are too many people to act together, it is very eye-catching, and the reason for dispersing action cannot quickly formulate a plan that makes everyone full, after all, in the final analysis, in addition to the relationship between colleagues, ten thousand leaders are still competitive.
There will always be a day when the Grand Commander will retire, and the next Grand Commander will definitely be selected from among the ten commanders, so everyone wants to command others, and no one will say anything.
After deciding to form a team to disperse the action, Ye Qing must first give priority to a group with Li Xian, Ye Qing was originally just with Li Xian, but at this time, Wang Ren took the initiative to act with Ye Qing.
Fortunately, Wang Ren's strength Ye Qing is clear, and the main Wang Ren's loyalty Ye Qing is also very recognized.
Ye Qing, Li Shi, and Wang Ren left on their own after forming a team.
The three of them still left through the back door and walked along the way they came, but this time, the purpose was to try to sneak into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and if it really didn't work, at least find out their garrison.
Ye Qing originally thought that this would be an unusually protracted battle, since the inner courtyard of the palace was all blocked, presumably the sentry troops inside were also very dense, but who knew that there were almost not many people guarding this road.
About every time you cross the palace wall, there will be four or five people to look at it, as if there are no special circumstances in normal times.
Ye Qing and the three of them didn't dare to be careless, and quietly moved towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After about two pillars of incense, the three of them finally came to the vicinity of the Heart Cultivation Palace. There are a little more guards here, but it's still not as dense as the blockade.
"What should I do, do you want to go in?" asked Wang Ren.
Ye Qing frowned and did not speak.
Everything was too calm and ordinary. It looks like martial law on the outside, but on the inside it's the same as usual.
"In that case, let's go to the back door. Ye Qing said.
There are usually no guards at the back door of the Yangxin Palace, and because there is a small courtyard with potted plants at the back, there are usually no people there, so the emperor did not set up guards, but I don't know how it is now.
The three of them followed the hidden corner towards the back door of the Heart Cultivation Temple, and after a while, they came to the back door.
There was no one at the door, and even the door was ajar.
Ye Qing took the lead, Li Xi and Wang Ren followed, and the three of them walked towards the back door.
Quietly push open the door, and a breeze greets you. Standing behind the door turned out to be the emperor himself!
