In the south, the official road was dusty, and a group of cavalry rushed in the direction of Fengcheng, Jingbei Prefecture.

"Your Highness, Fengcheng is ahead, are we going to enter the city?"

A partial general quickly whipped up, and soon came to Yan Qingcheng's side to ask, if it was still early, he would not ask, but he had been on the road for three days in a row, and the soldiers were also a little tired.

This partial general is named Liu Yi, Liu Xuance's youngest son, who has reached the early stage of the True Yuan Realm, and his current identity is the temporary commander of the three thousand elites behind him.

Yan Qingxuan let out a "hmm", with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said after a long time: "You speed up and let the Fengcheng City Lord arrange it." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Yi responded, the horse in his hand whipped the horse a few times, and soon he was discharged from the army, and he rode quickly towards Fengcheng alone.

About half an hour later, Yan Qingcheng came to the south gate of Fengcheng with three thousand elites, and Liu Yi and Yang Chongxun, the city lord of Fengcheng, were already waiting outside the city gate.

Seeing Yan Qingcheng coming, Yang Chongxun hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Minister Yang Chongxun has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qingcheng. ”

Liu Yi also saluted: "Your Highness." ”

"Excuse me. Yan Qingxuan waved his hand, with a casual expression, and said, "Can you do the things you arranged?"

"The minister has already made arrangements. Yang Chongxun didn't mind, but relaxed a little, and said, "Please come with your highness." ”

As he spoke, he had already led the way, and Yan Qingcheng, Liu Yi and the others followed behind him.

The place that Yang Chongxun arranged for the 3,000 soldiers was not elsewhere, it was the station of the Fengcheng patrol camp, and he had already ordered people to prepare hot water and food.

Although other places can also be used for hospitality, but Yan Qingcheng and the others only stay for one night, since they have a suitable place to arrange, he will naturally not ask for trouble.

For Yang Chongxun's arrangement, Yan Qingcheng is still very satisfied, after taking a hot bath, Yan Qingcheng only feels comfortable, after having dinner with the soldiers, he does not practice, and goes back to the room to rest, and after a while, he falls asleep.

Ten miles outside the imperial city of Yanguo, Wu'an Hall on Wu'an Mountain.

Yan Qingxuan led a person into the hall and said respectfully: "Father, Gonggong Zhao has arrived." Yan Furan nodded lightly, "Hmm".

"The old slave visits the Emperor. ”

Seeing Yan Furan, Zhao Wuyang's face was excited, to be honest, he was worried about it these days, especially the military reports from the north, which made him even more worried, and sometimes he didn't dare to open it to see it, for fear of seeing the bad news when he opened it.

"Get up. ”

Yan Furan said that he made a gesture to Yan Qingxuan and motioned for him to leave: "You go and rest." ”

"Yes, the retainers retired. ”

Yan Qingxuan responded, and slowly withdrew from the main hall, it was almost a busy day, and he only applied when he returned to Yandu from Daliang City using the Divine Talisman.

He disguised himself into the city to inquire about the news, and knew that the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Xuanji Sect had not yet arrived, so he secretly summoned several auxiliary ministers and told them to prepare for the crisis.

Yan Qingxuan and Yuan Huaji and the others discussed for several hours before leaving Yandu, and before leaving, he found Zhao Wuyang and called him to Wu'an Mountain.

"You can do a few things for me......"

After Yan Qingxuan left, Yan Furan whispered to Zhao Wuyang, as Yan Furan said Zhao Wuyang's face became more and more solemn, and after a while, Yan Furan gently patted Zhao Wuyang's shoulder and said, "You have to do these things as soon as possible." ”

"The Emperor can rest assured, even if the old slave dies, he will get things done for you. ”

Zhao Wuyang's face was firm, the things that Yan Furan handed over to him were not things that could be done simply, but he would not hesitate.

"It's not that serious. Yan Furan smiled, "I will let Emperor Qing help you secretly, don't have any pressure, go ahead." ”

"Yes, the old slave is retired. ”

After speaking, Zhao Wuyang withdrew from the main hall, and after leaving the main hall, he quickly left Wu'an Mountain.

At night, Yan Furan changed into black clothes, and after leaving the hall, he disappeared into the night.

In Yandu, the East Pole Hall of the Imperial City, a black shadow flashed, but the patrol of the Great Internal Forbidden Army did not find anything unusual.

Not long after, a sound came from the East Pole Hall, which immediately attracted the attention of the patrol and forbidden army.

"There is movement in the East Pole Palace, quickly!"

The commander of the forbidden army who happened to be patrolling the East Pole Hall shouted, and with his shout, everyone quickly rushed towards the East Pole Hall.

His Majesty the Emperor is not here, and on this big night, there is movement in the East Pole Palace, and there is nothing possible except for the thief.

However, they only surrounded the East Pole Palace, but they did not dare to break in without permission, and soon, Meng Chen, the commander of the forbidden army, was alarmed. After getting the news, Meng Chen immediately ordered to block the palace gate, especially near the East Pole Palace, and focus on blockade.

"Come in with me. ”

After coming to the East Pole Hall, Meng Chen said to the other deputy commanders, the other deputy commanders nodded, and one of them carried a lantern and pushed open the door of the East Pole Hall.

"Enter!"

Meng Chen beckoned the forbidden soldiers to enter, and after a while of searching, they did not find any figures.

"Commander, not a single one has been found. ”

"Exit ......" Meng Chen said, his eyes glanced at His Majesty the Emperor's imperial case, the word "go" in his mouth seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't say it anymore, his expression became panicked, and he shouted in horror: "Jade seal, jade seal is gone!"

"What ......"

Meng Chen's words shocked everyone, and their eyes couldn't help but put their eyes on the imperial case, but they found that there was nothing on it.

"Could it be that His Majesty took it away?"

A deputy commander of the forbidden army said weakly, but the tone of his voice was not the slightest bit confident.

"Impossible ......"

At this time, the chief administrator of Ouchi also arrived, and he denied the words of the deputy commander of the forbidden army with a positive face, because he clearly remembered that His Majesty the Emperor did not take the jade seal away when he left Yandu, and the jade seal was placed on this imperial case.

When I came to the routine inspection in the evening, the jade seal was still there, and now that the jade seal is gone, there is only one possibility, that is, someone stole the jade seal.

"Commander Meng, immediately seal off the palace, don't let me out a single mosquito, and I must catch the thief who stole the jade seal. At the same time, all the soldiers of the forbidden army were ordered to start searching the palace. ”

"The last will do it. ”

Meng Chen's face was ugly, he lost the jade seal, he had a great responsibility, if he couldn't find it, his head would definitely not be able to be saved, even if he found the jade seal and caught the thief, he would not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of responsibility.

Zhao Sishun is the same, the palace has lost something, and as the head of the palace, he is also unable to escape responsibility.

The two of them each led people to search the palace, whether it was the concubine's palace or the cold palace, both of them searched carefully.

At this time, they were not afraid of offending people, but what made them desperate was that they had to find it until dawn, but they couldn't find a trace, and the thief who stole the jade seal seemed to come out of thin air and then disappeared out of thin air.
