Chapter 225: The Peak of the Great Xuan (I)
Late at night.
The holy capital returned to tranquility, the fires were extinguished, the sound of cannons was gone, and everything was silent.
If it weren't for seeing the heavy armored soldiers before, Xu Zun would have the illusion that nothing had happened.
Ah Xiu Tsai has been gone for two hours, but he still hasn't returned.
couldn't wait for the exact news, and Xu Zun and the others didn't dare to go out of Cao Ding's house rashly.
At this moment, Tie Jing had already found a guest room to sleep in;
Although the Oriental Enchantress is still there, she is also leaning on the Taishi chair to close her eyes and recuperate.
Chen Taiji paced at the door of the hall, looking more and more anxious.
Xu Zun knew that Chen Taiji was different from himself, his family members were all in the Holy Capital, even if he didn't think about Jiangshan Sheji, he would definitely be thinking about his family.
However, Xu Zun didn't have the energy to comfort him.
Because he was still thinking about these seventeen bizarre assassination cases.
At this moment, he used a brush to draw two marks on the paper, which was two strokes on the stone pillar of the winning family, but three points and one stroke on the furniture of Cao Ding's house.
Looking at these two marks, Xu Zun wanted more and more to know if there were also marks left at the scene of the other victims?
What is this mark for?
If we could know what it meant, would we be able to catch those Assassins?
For some reason, Xu Zun had a faint instinct that those assassins had not left the Holy Capital, and it seemed that they had more important tasks.
I don't know, is this mutiny done by them?
In addition, through the current investigation, Xu Zun realized that this unprecedented scale of assassination was extremely complex and not as simple as it seemed.
Behind it, there must be a lot of intelligence, a lot of personnel arrangements, and a fast and accurate information transmission, just these few points are enough to make Xu Zun's back cold.
He had already realized that the reason why Xuanmen set the "Heavenly Tribulation" plan must be relied on behind it.
So...... Will it be like in the TV series, behind the Xuanmen, there will be a high-powered, high-profile undercover agent?
Of course, perhaps as Dongfang Enchanting said, he worked hard to investigate the case in vain, but in the end it was just a useless work.
No one knows who won the mutiny just now.
Maybe at this moment, Daxuan's regime is changing, and after dawn, I don't know what the situation will be?
"My lord, ......"
At this time, Ani handed Xu Zun a piece of paper with five or six strange symbols drawn on it.
"These are the signs we use for simple communication, like this ......," Ani said, pointing to one of them, "this means that there are people here; This refers to running away; This indicates the direction ......"
"Oh......" Xu Zun nodded, "so in the Win Jean, you can notice that mark!" ”
"Yes," Ani said, "because Xuanmen disciples are arrested every year, so these contact marks often change.
"I have a feeling ......," Ani said, "the Yuanzhou Daozun who adopted me back then should be here!" I ......"
Seeing Ani's worried face, Xu Zun persuaded: "Don't worry! We have a bitter mother, and we will protect you. ”
"I ...... I'm not worried about this ......," Ani said, "I'm worried about ......."
As a result, before Ani finished speaking, Zhao Yu had already run into the hall and shouted loudly: "My lord, Ah Xiu Zai is back!" ”
After that, he saw Ah Xiu running in panting.
Chen Taiji was the first to greet him and asked, "How is it, what happened?" ”
The enchanting of the East also opened her eyes and came closer.
"Big ...... Your Excellency......" Ah Xiu Zai reported to Xu Zun, "Gong Peng, the general of the hussars, united several commanders of the forbidden army, as well as the Fengyang Gate garrison and others, committed a rebellion, and tried to storm the palace under the banner of the Qing monarch's side!" ”
"What?" Dongfang Enchanted was stunned for a moment, "When you enter Fengyang Gate, you will be in Wanfu Palace, this is ...... This is going for the Queen Mother! ”
"This ......," Chen Taiji clenched his fists and said, "General Gong is an important figure in the imperial power faction, and he has always wanted the emperor to govern himself, and now he has finally found an excuse." ”
"Then ......," asked the Oriental Enchantress hurriedly, "and then?" Did they succeed or failed? ”
Who knows, before Ah Xiu Zai could answer, Xu Zun took the lead and said: "Needless to say, it must have failed!" ”
"You ......," Dongfang Enchanted's eyes widened, "how do you know?" ”
"Yes, my lord," asked Ah Xiuzai, "how do you know?" ”
"Pay attention to your words," Xu Zun laughed dryly and said, "You just said that he made a mess, didn't he just fail?" If it succeeds, are you not allowed to change the word? ”
"Oh......" Ah Xiu Zai blushed for a while and said, "This matter may have been revealed a long time ago, the Queen Mother had already prepared, and the rebellion was suppressed as soon as it started."
"Gong Peng and a group of rebels are all captured, and they are ...... at this moment The Queen Mother has summoned the ministers to the palace, and Cai Geling has also been summoned to ......"
"Oh......" Xu Zun nodded, "In other words, we have to continue to investigate this case?" ”
"Huh?" Everyone was collectively surprised, "Still check!? ”
……
At dawn, Xu Zun and the others returned to the Neiwei Mansion.
Although Xu Zun really wanted to continue to investigate the case, after all, such a big thing happened, so he had to stabilize it first and figure out the ins and outs.
Besides, Tie Jing, Dongfang Enchanting and Chen Taiji and others will also return to their own units to take up their duties, presumably when the dynasty is dispersed, there will inevitably be a will.
Xu Zun also couldn't imagine that the first night he came to Xuanmiao City was a sleepless night.
After staying up all night, after breakfast, he found a bedroom and wanted to chat with Ku Niang for a while, and take a nap by the way.
Unexpectedly, he entered the house with his front foot, and was called back by Zhao Yu with his back foot, and it turned out that Cai Kun was back.
Xu Zun had no choice but to wash his face briefly and go to the hall to meet Cai Kun.
Boy!
When Xu Zun saw Cai Kun, he found that Cai Kun seemed to be a different person, his face was pale, wrinkled, and he seemed to be greatly frightened.
"Lord Cai," Xu Zun hurriedly let Cai Kun to the upper seat and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Is there something big going on again? ”
At this time, a guard brought Cai Kun freshly brewed tea.
Cai Kun took the teacup, and the lid and teacup clicked, obviously indicating that Cai Kun was trembling.
He took a hard sip of tea, which was a little shocking.
After a few more sips, he finally said to Xu Zun tremblingly: "Xu Zun, Da Xuan...... It's been a change! ”
"Ah!!?h
Xu Zun was shocked, and Zhao Yu was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.
"What?" Xu Zun stood up and asked, "It's changed...... Finally...... What happened? ”
"Yesterday......" Cai Kun said in horror, "after the chaos was quelled, the Queen Mother summoned the ministers into the palace.
"It's above the main hall," Cai Kun put down his teacup and pressed his temple hard, "The Queen Mother has deposed the current emperor!"
"After ten years, the Queen Mother returned to the Jinluan Treasure Hall and climbed to the top of my great mystery!!"
