Chapter 387: Entering the Imperial City in the middle of the night, he was ordered to stir up the storm
Xiao Zhongmou said, and everyone's faces changed suddenly.
The Ministry of Industry is not only in charge of engineering, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, transportation, ordnance smelting, but also the construction of the royal family...
And the marshal of the Xiao Cavalry Army is busy with a major matter, tens of thousands of auxiliaries have all been transferred, and he can't even take care of repairing the old camp...
A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Zhongmou's forehead: "My lord, I'm afraid that something big is going to happen, and I must notify the prince as soon as possible!" ”
Don't complain that he is nervous, the sealing technique has been leaked, and the world knows that the royal mausoleum is an important part of it.
If it is really as he thinks, I am afraid that the Southern Jin Dynasty has a big plan!
"I'll go now!"
Wang Xuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Guo Lao, Qin Zhutou, the matter is very important, and you must not leak the news." ”
said, his eyes moved slightly, "Just in case of accidents, Ah Fu left it to you, if I haven't sent back the news for half an hour, you will immediately go to find someone, don't let the Luo family do anything wrong." ”
"Please also ask Guo Lao to let the seniors of the Yin Gate sit in charge, if the Luo family dares to make trouble, he will be killed directly, and I will bear all the consequences!"
"Yes, sir!"
After bidding farewell to everyone, Wang Xuan's figure flashed out of the door and rose into the air, retracted his breath, and turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the night sky.
At this time, there was already a curfew, and originally to go to the imperial city, it was necessary to send a message from Fang Zheng and report it to the patrol cavalry, and it would take several hours for all parties to check, even if there was a warrant from the prince, the procedure could not be saved.
The Southern Jin Dynasty assassins suddenly launched, although they don't know the reason behind it, but something big definitely happened.
If it really destroys the foundation of the Divine Sealing Technique, not to mention that Zhao Shibo's family has no life, even the entire Dayan will be completely chaotic.
This move of the Southern Jin Dynasty is really ruthless!
……
At this time, it was midnight, and everything was silent in Mingshanfang, and the teahouses and restaurants were closed, only the dim lanterns at the door reflected the flying snow.
In the pavilion, several Wuhou used iron rods to pull the charcoal fire in the copper basin, and unconsciously a black shadow swept over the sky.
On the street, the golden armor of the cavalry rode through the horses, holding torches, galloping past, and their eyes scanned in all directions.
In the dark alley, Wang Xuan appeared, looked around, and then walked quickly along the dark alley.
The gods are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, even if he cultivates, if the royal qi is volleyed, he can't hide it from anyone who cares.
Moreover, there are high-rise sentry posts between the various cities, and there are crossbow arrows of the Xiao cavalry army, and he doesn't want to be a target.
In the snowy night, a black shadow shuttled between the walls, getting closer and closer to the imperial city.
Because of Qucheng, Wang Xuan's relationship with Pai Sect and the Assassin Gate is not bad, and he also invited the Assassin Sect elder to teach the Sou Shan Army the method of hiding Qi Breath.
Wang Xuan has also learned, although he is not as good as those masters who are good at this way, but it is enough to deal with these cavalry sergeants patrolling the streets.
When he came to a dark alley, Wang Xuan suddenly stopped.
I saw that the wind was suddenly rising in front of me, the wind and snow were howling, the sound of rustling sounded from all directions, and three tall figures appeared in the wind.
Wang Xuan sighed and arched his hand slightly: "Please also return to Hongyuan Zhenren, Wang has something important to meet the prince, and then come to the door to talk about the past." ”
Man is easy to deceiver, but God is hard to deceiver.
The divine capital is where the ancestral temple of the royal family is located, and the divine power is shrouded everywhere, and the city god patrols the streets at night, there is no special method, and it is really impossible to hide.
At this moment, Wang Xuan's eyes flashed with golden light.
The candle dragon looked at the soul, and the three figures in front of him were two covered in gold armor, one was dressed in Confucian robes, and the surroundings were densely packed with Yin soldiers.
With the blessing of the divine power of incense, Taiyi Shijiao Altar monitors, once attacked, not only will it immediately attract masters, but the cavalry army will also gather from all directions.
This is the night defense system of the divine capital, which is very troublesome.
On the towering wall, several Taiyi Sect Taoist priests suddenly appeared, with a slight surprise in their eyes: "Wang Duwei, you have the prince's warrant, why do you need to do this." ”
Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "The matter is urgent, I don't dare to delay for a moment, and I hope you will let me go." ”
The Taoist priests of the Taiyi Sect were also a little embarrassed, and the old man's eyes at the head moved slightly, "Wang Duwei, please go yourself, I didn't see anything I was waiting for." ”
Wang Xuan arched his hand, and his figure quickly disappeared.
Looking at the back that disappeared into the night, several Taoist priests looked at each other.
"Could it be that something happened?"
"Don't worry about it, Hongyuan Zhenren has sent news, let me wait and don't stop it, someone is carrying it, what are you afraid of!"
"Besides, those rivers and lakes have dug a lot of secret passages under the Shendu, and there are many things that can't be controlled..."
"I heard that several more bodies were found in Nancheng this morning..."
……
Without the Yin soldiers blocking the way, Wang Xuan sped up, and after a while, he came to the Inner City Vermilion Bird Gate.
"Who?!"
Before he could show his figure, the snare drum and magic weapon on the city gate rumbled, and immediately several figures of the imperial sword fell, and the city wall was also like a forest of spears and crossbows.
Wang Xuan stopped, raised the token and said in a deep voice: "Wang Xuan of Bingzhou, I have something urgent to see the prince!" ”
"And Wang Xuan?"
In the darkness of the city gate, a man covered in gold armor slowly appeared, his eyes were indifferent and said in a deep voice: "The gods are not merging states, they are talking about rules, sneaking in the dark, and there will be a copy of the Imperial History Observatory for you tomorrow morning!" ”
His golden armor is different from the style of the Xiao Cavalry, it is more powerful and heavy, and there are long feathers on the helmet.
The Guards?
How can this guy be hostile...
Although Wang Xuan was strange, his face still did not change, "This general, if it weren't for the urgency, how could Wang enter the city late at night, and look at the East Palace." ”
The Royal Forest Army's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to hesitate, but he still snorted coldly: "If there is an urgent matter, you must make it clear, otherwise everyone will say that there is an urgent matter, what is the use of this palace gate!" ”
Wang Xuan was happy, "Since the general insists on asking, if anything happens, you will be responsible, and it is a matter of sealing the gods..."
"Shut up!"
The Imperial Forest Army's complexion changed greatly, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, "Lord Wang, wait a minute, I will send someone to deliver a message to the East Palace." ”
So saying, he stood there like a door god, not squinting, as if he had heard nothing just now.
Although Wang Xuan thought it was ridiculous, he didn't pay attention to it.
Soon, the crown prince Zhan Shi Qiu Shiyuan came in a hurry with people and led Wang Xuan to the East Palace.
On the way, Qiu Shiyuan said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, but what happened?" ”
This guy is also a clever ghost, seeing Wang Xuan's hesitation, he immediately changed the topic: "The prince has woken up, and Master Li is also there, let's talk about it when we arrive." ”
Then he said in a low voice: "I already know what happened just now, the right middle man of the royal forest who guards the door is Dugu Ming, and his uncle is a family of three princes, and he was demoted to a commoner because of corruption..."
Saying this, Wang Xuan suddenly understood.
No wonder that guy is obviously dissatisfied, but he is extremely timid, and he probably knows that his official position will not last long, guarding the important position of the imperial city, and the prince will inevitably be replaced after he takes the throne.
Soon, they came to the East Palace.
Unlike last time, Prince Duguxi has changed into a brocade robe, wears a jade crown, and his face is much more serious.
Li Fuzi was dressed in a Confucian robe, smiling and nodding beside him.
The crown prince Duguxi said in a deep voice: "Wang Duwei came in a hurry, I don't know what is important?" ”
Wang Xuan arched his hand and said: "It's because of the murder of the waiter of the Ministry of Works..."
When the crown prince Duguxi heard this, his eyes were slightly disappointed.
He also thought that Wang Xuan was in a hurry to save people.
It's nothing to rely on your own strength, after all, the whole god knows that Wang Xuan is the general he fancies, but for such a trivial matter, he was still in a panic and entered the imperial city late at night...
Could it be that I have seen the wrong person?
Wang Xuan didn't care either, and continued: "This case is a bit strange, I don't dare to call the shots, Li Xuan is a person from the Ministry of Industry, but the Southern Jin Dynasty assassin also killed a cavalry guard before..."
When he said that he doubted himself, the faces of the prince and Li Fuzi changed greatly at the same time.
"What a thief from the Southern Jin Dynasty!"
The prince's eyes were uncertain, and he turned to Li Fuzi and said in a deep voice: "Master, please inform Guangyuan Zhenjun and Uncle Yihuang, tell them to be careful, and stop the project inspection immediately!" ”
Li Fuzi's face was solemn, and without saying a word, his figure flashed and went to the backyard.
Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He knew that Xiao Zhongmou's guess with himself was correct, there was a secret method in the royal family, and no matter what project was going on over there, it was estimated that it would stop immediately.
Prince Duguxi took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Fortunately, Wang Duwei sent the message in time, otherwise there will be a big disaster." ”
"Now that you have guessed, Lone will no longer hide it, my father has been sick for a long time, and I am afraid that the deadline will come, but at this time, it is at a critical juncture, so I use the secret method of the royal family to continue my life for another year. It's a lot of money, but it's worth it. ”
"When this secret technique is performed, the ancestral temple of the royal family, the altar of the Humane Society, and even the imperial mausoleum of Longshou Mountain in Tiandu will be opened, if the Southern Jin Dynasty does something..."
When Wang Xuan heard this, he was also secretly frightened.
He didn't expect that such a cause and effect would be involved behind it.
The crown prince Zhan Shi Qiu Shiyuan, who was following him, also stood with his hands down, cold sweat on his forehead.
Although he is a close confidant of the crown prince, he is also frightened to hear this kind of thing.
The crown prince Duguxi clenched his fists fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Although I am the prince, I am also a son of man, and my father is ambitious, but it's a pity..."
"In any case, the gluttonous army will also be formed next year, and it is best to Chen Bing Jiuqu Tianhe, and no one can stop it!"
I see...
No wonder the prince's style has changed greatly, and he even does not hesitate to quarrel with the prince.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the prince, his subordinates will do their best in this matter, but for now, we still have to smash the Southern Jin Dynasty plot first." ”
The crown prince Duguxi nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "There is the overall situation of the Guangyuan Sect Master and the abbot of Emperor Yihuang over there, and if you are on guard, you will not let the thieves of the Southern Jin Dynasty succeed." ”
"But this matter is a little strange, even if there are people in the royal family, there are very few people who know, why did it leak the news, this matter must be investigated!"
Wang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, "The two assassinations were a bit hasty, which shows that the Southern Jin Dynasty also just learned about this matter, and hurriedly arranged it, as long as you find that assassin, you can find out." ”
Prince Duguxi nodded slightly, pondering for a while, "Don't publicize this matter for the time being, so as not to cause trouble, presumably the person who leaked the secret will also be heard..."
"In this case, in the name of saving the world, Wang Duwei searched for the assassin with a lone warrant, searched all over the Shendu, and also arrested him."
After that, he snorted coldly: "Remember, be arrogant, it's best to make the leaker negligent, thinking that you are just taking advantage of my position to be arrogant." ”
"You are a bright chess, attract all the eyes of the city, and the lonely will make Li Fuzi secretly investigate one by one, and play a two-pronged approach, don't let this person get through the trick!"
Wang Xuan bowed his hand in a deep voice, "Don't worry, the prince will do it, but I still have to ask Lord Qiu to accompany me, after all, I am not very familiar with the gods." ”
Prince Duguxi's eyes were gloomy, "Okay! ”
Soon, Wang Xuan and the crown prince Zhan Shi Qiu Shiyuan hurriedly left the East Palace.
Out of the imperial city, Qiu Shiyuan smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, I am just a housekeeper, how can I know how to investigate cases, in case I mess up my errand..."
Wang Xuan glanced lightly, "Don't pretend to be garlic, Lord Qiu is very smart, you need to know not to leak out, although you can protect yourself, but you will also miss the opportunity." ”
Qiu Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, was silent for a while, and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Wang for your advice, this god has been staying for a long time, and his courage will always be smaller, but how should we find out?" ”
Wang Xuan looked at the night sky, "Now that the gods are stagnant, when Wang stirs it first, any snakes, insects, rats and scorpions will pop up!" ”
