366. Chapter 367
"There is a woman among the people who came to report from the court, thirteen or fourteen years old. β
The disciple guarding the mountain gate recalled for a moment and said: "I don't have any impression, there are a few people, wearing the official uniform of the imperial court and wearing waist tags, but because they are secret envoys, they all wear hoods." β
"Then did they say why they let the head of the capital go to the capital?"
"It's a secret order, only the head of the sect knows," the disciple who guarded the door saw that Chen Yin was so anxious, and he guessed the urgency of the matter somewhat, "Senior Brother Chen, the head of Shangguan is on the mountain, if there is something important, you can explain it to her." β
"Okay!" Chen Yin bowed to his junior brother, and pondered all the way up the mountain: Although Si Yu's body style is not as good as mine, it is indeed not slow just by hurrying, but if you leave the capital and even Dinghua Mountain and take the head of the house, you must set off before me, and it should be earlier-is it that time?
Chen Yin thought of 'that time', it was the person in the 'Winter Cicada' who transmitted the information into the palace, but in this case, the time was actually not long enough, Si Yu should not have such the ability to take a few officers and soldiers to Dinghua Mountain and then turn back to the capital, but Chen Yin knew everything and it was just a guess, he was too anxious at that time and did not feel the breath, otherwise at that time, he might be able to know whether the head of the house was there or not.
Anyway, there were enough reasonable motives for this series of actions after the imperial court, and Chen faintly felt that the Dinghua faction was likely to repeat the mistakes of the Tianchi and Bifeng factions.
If it was really as he deduced, he didn't know what to do next, and he had to let Shangguan Ruoxin know about this matter immediately, so as not to delay and have no room to return.
Chen Yin hurried a few steps and rushed up the mountain.
Shangguan Ruoxin was quite surprised when he saw Chen Yin, one was because he didn't expect him to come back, and the other was because Chen Yin broke in directly from outside the study without reporting it.
Chen Yin saw that she was already with one hand on the hilt of the sword next to the table, but fortunately he quickly recognized him, otherwise, this sword would have stabbed him.
"Please forgive the head of the Shangguan family," Chen Yin hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "The disciple rushed back from the capital because he was in a hurry, and he didn't report it in timeββ"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yinyan concisely told Shangguan Ruoxin the ins and outs.
Shangguan Ruoxin closed the door of the study, there was a moment of experience, but after thinking about it for a while, she digested it, she looked at Chen Yin, and said, "The wind entering Beijing should be able to suppress this matter, the emperor's matter...... Don't mention it again, the more people I send to know, the harder it will be to get things back. β
Chen Yin nodded, and instead asked, "Then what should we do now?"
"I'll be prepared for the worst here, since the capital is full of the ears and eyes of Xufeng Chenhui, then you must not be able to hide from their eyes when you leave Beijing," Shangguan Ruoxin paused, and then said, "But fortunately, you are fast, they will not be able to keep up, and they will not know where you have gone, so no matter what, don't stay in Dinghua Mountain, go back to Beijing quickly, and don't let them know that you have returned to the mountain to pass the wind." β
"Understood. β
"By the way, also," Shangguan Ruoxin called Chen Yin, "find a way to meet with the head of the moon and let him know that we are ready." β
"Yes. β
Although there is no substantive way to deal with it, at least Chen Yin now knows what he needs to do. But just as he was about to leave the study, a disciple said outside the door: "Qi Yu is in charge, and there are officials from the capital outside the mountain gate who asked the head of Yue to go down the mountain to receive the order." β
When Shangguan Ruoxin and Chen Yin saw each other, their faces were full of confusion.
"Didn't the head of the moon already follow them to Beijing, and what else did the head of the moon come to see?" Shangguan Ruoxin asked coldly.
"The disciples told them the same, but they didn't believe it, saying that if they couldn't wait for the head of the sect to receive the order for half an hour, they would all be deceived by the Dinghua faction!"
Shangguan Ruoxin stood up and took out a holy decree from the drawer: "I'll go see them." β
Shangguan Ruoxin glanced at Chen Yin meaningfully as he left, and then closed the door after going out.
Chen Yin went out from the skylight and did not leave the side mountain, but cautiously followed to the gate of the mountain.
Si Yu and the officials were waiting outside the mountain gate with an unhappy face, and they were even more dissatisfied when they saw Shangguan Ruoxin coming out.
"A few adults," Shangguan Ruoxin did the courtesy first, "I don't know if there is any misunderstanding, the head of the moon has already gone to Beijing with the officials from the capital earlier today. β
"Shangguan is in charge, we have received the emperor's will, and we are here to announce the decree to let the head of the moon go to Beijing," Si Yu was already a little bored, "It's now, why did you come earlier." β
Shangguan Ruoxin was not in a hurry, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Is this lord sure that it is the emperor's message?"
Si Yu didn't answer, but his face turned dark, looked at Shangguan Ruoxin, and said angrily: "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything else, it's just that the few imperial envoys who came here earlier came with a holy decree," Shangguan Ruoxin took out the holy decree, "It's just a secret decree, I can't look at it." β
Si Yu's whole person was at a loss all of a sudden, she looked at the holy decree in Shangguan Ruoxin's hand, and knew that what they said was not false, because she didn't dare, but she did receive the emperor's will.
Shangguan Ruoxin looked at Si Yu and the others intently, and she tried to clean up the context of this matter in her mind. She wanted to see whether the people in front of her were real or fake, if they were fake, things would be easy to do, but looking at the appearance of these people, it didn't look like a fake holy oracle, and except for this little girl, Shangguan Ruoxin, who had never seen it, several officials who came with her had crossed paths with her in the capital.
