325. Chapter 326
Chanyu thought for a while, and analyzed: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the current situation is relatively clear, since Soul Jade is indeed here with the Third Prince, then he can't get out of the matter of tying me up with Yingli, and the reason why he is looking for us to find the cold weather now is either to test us, or to think that we still don't know about it." β
"It is very likely that it is the latter," Chen Yin nodded, "The third prince is not suspicious, he can put these two jades in Puxu, so he naturally believes that Han Hou is doing things safely and has not revealed his identity." β
"Anyway, it's a good thing for us. β
"Yes. β
Halfway through the night, the two went to sleep. Early the next morning, the two went to the big tent to bid farewell to Xufeng Chenhui.
At that time, he was dealing with things on the battlefield, so he didn't say anything to the two of them. This is exactly what they wanted, which means that they didn't find out that the soul jade was missing yesterday.
Xufeng Chenhui's camp was already on the border of the Central Plains, and as soon as Chen Yin left with his front foot and agreed, he took Chanyu and ran towards the capital at full speed.
Although Xufeng Chenhui had not yet discovered that the soul jade had been taken away, Chen Yin and Chanyu both understood that their time was tight and could not be delayed any longer.

And the other side.
The people of Xuanyuemen had already lived in the capital last night, and according to the arrangements agreed in advance, Tan Yongjing and Wang Yan entered the palace to meet the emperor this morning, and the rest of the people stayed in the inn.
After the two entered the palace, the guards in the palace were very respectful to them, and the chief eunuch respectfully led the two to the imperial garden.
After listening to Tan Yongjing's statement, the emperor did not mean to refute, but took a remark that was not related.
"Tan Yongjing is the new head of Xuanyue Sect, and I have no time to congratulate him. The Emperor said.
This also forced Tan Yongjing to say some roundabout words, and replied: "The emperor has every opportunity, and the small things of the sect should be personally faced, but now the reputation and foundation of the sect have suffered changes, and the emperor needs to come forward to uphold justice and return the reputation and justice of my faction." β
The emperor raised his head slightly, and replied quietly: "What you said before about Yan Ying, I have found out, it is indeed him who is the obstruction, although he is an important minister of the court, I have lost supervision, but I also hope that the head of Tan and the people of the Xuanyue faction will not hold a grudge against the court." β
The emperor put his figure so low, which Tan Yongjing never expected.
"The emperor is benevolent, we naturally will not involve what this person has done with the imperial court," Tan Yongjing was almost flattered, "but Tan still dared to ask the emperor to issue an edict to clarify for our faction that what he did was bewitched by the eagle, and even the head of Qiu Yi and the whole building were also victimized by him." β
The emperor was noncommittal, but slowly stood up: "You two are also flat and go to a place with me." β
The two didn't dare to ask more, so they nodded and obeyed, and followed the emperor out of the imperial garden.
"Does the emperor want to prepare a sedan chair?" the eunuch in charge of the affairs asked when he saw them leaving the garden, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"No, you don't have to follow a few steps. β
"Yes!"
The emperor walked forward along the corridor in the palace without hurrying with his hands behind his back.
Although Tan Yongjing and the others were beating drums in their hearts, they could only follow the emperor without saying a word.
Wang Yan pressed his elbow against Tan Yongjing's waist, his brows were furrowed, and he almost merged into one.
Tan Yongjing saw his junior brother's worry, he just shook his head slightly, telling the other party to calm down.
The emperor didn't say anything all the way, and led the two into a house with a dark red faΓ§ade.
There were a lot of partitions about an inch and a half above the ground, neatly placed in two rows, a row of nine, and only a few were covered with straw mats, and the others were empty.
"Your Majesty?!The slave should die! I didn't hear the report! I didn't come out to greet the emperor! How could the emperor's dragon body enter this filthy place!"
Several people in the room suddenly caught a glimpse of the emperor, and they all stopped their work and quickly knelt on the ground.
"You all go out. The Emperor did not care what they said, nor did he reproach them for it.
"Compliance...... Yes!"
A few people buried their heads and hurried past Xu Tianjing and Wang Yan. Although Wang Yan had never been to the Imperial Palace in the capital much, he knew the different positions and different costumes in this palace, but he really couldn't think of what position it was because of the clothes worn by these people in front of him.
"The grass people dared to ask the emperor, what kind of place is this?" Wang Yan couldn't help but ask.
The emperor looked at the two of them and asked rhetorically, "Master Tan, Wang Daxia, have you seen Yan Ying?"
"Yes. β
After hearing this, the emperor pointed to the innermost partition: "You go and uncover it first, and then I will tell you what is done here." β
When Xu Tianjing and Wang Yan came in, they had already seen what was covered under the straw mat, and the emperor asked them to reveal the innermost one, and naturally Yan Ying was the one below.
However, even though both of them had guessed and were mentally prepared, they were still scared enough at the moment they opened the cover.
"Corpses, you Jianghu people must have seen more than me, what is there to be afraid of," the emperor smiled coldly and asked, "Is he Yan Ying?"
Tan Yongjing and Wang Yan glanced at each other, then opened the cover again, frowned and looked down carefully for a while, and invariably confirmed: "It's him, but why is he like this?"
The reason why the two of them were surprised by Yan Ying's 'such appearance' was because the rest of his entire body, except for the head, was like an eggplant that had been drained of general water, which made people shudder.
