At the same time that Zhao Shiyun left the Concierge Post in the car, Cai Jiu's people had already reported the matter to Cai Jiu.

"Why did Zhao Shiyun leave the post house in the middle of the night, did she already know that I would send someone to kill her tonight?" Cai Jiu glanced at Qian Zhixuan beside him, "Could it be that you reported to her?" ”

Qian Zhixuan hurriedly denied: "How could I do such a thing!" I'm a grasshopper on the same rope as you, and if she dies, it will do me a great good. ”

Cai Jiu thought about it, and said to his henchman: "Zhao Shiyun suddenly left the post house in the middle of the night, it is likely that she left the city and wanted to go back to Tokyo, you immediately rushed to the city gate, and asked the city gate guards to stop her and not allow her to go out of the city." ”

The henchman asked, "But my lord, what excuse do you use to reject her?" She's the Emperor after all. ”

"Aren't you going to send that Lin Chong to the court tomorrow, just say that it is to prevent Lin Chong's accomplices from sneaking into the city in the middle of the night."

"Yes." The henchman was about to retreat, but was stopped by Cai Jiu again.

"Also, keep an eye on the whereabouts of the emperor."

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of his henchman leaving, Cai Jiu's voice was flat, but the words he said were terrifying: "Tonight, Zhao Shiyun must die." ”

……

"Who?!"

When Zhao Shiyun's carriage came to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city immediately asked loudly and led people to surround it.

"It's the Falling Moon Emperor sitting in the car, and we're going out of the city." Mo Gan said expressionlessly.

"How do you prove that she is the Emperor of the Falling Moon?" The soldier asked.

Xia He, the palace maid, handed the token that could prove Zhao Shiyun's identity from the car to Mo Gan, and Mo Gan handed it to the soldiers.

The soldier took it over and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed the token of the Falling Moon Emperor.

"Please wait a moment, I'll report to the guard." The soldier spoke with much more respect, and took the token to the gate guard.

After a while, the city gate guard hurried over, and said in a respectful voice in front of the carriage: "Just now, my subordinates failed to recognize the emperor's carriage, and they dared to stop the emperor, hoping that the emperor will forgive the sin." ”

"Excuse me, open the city gate quickly, I will go out of the city." Inside the car, Zhao Shiyun said in a cold voice.

"Yes." The guard was about to tell the soldiers to open the gates, when a fast horse came running in the distance.

The fast horse soon came to the guard, Cai Jiu's henchman sat on the horse, threw the token of the Jiangzhou prefect to the guard, and said loudly: "The prefect has an order, in order to prevent Lin Chong's thieves and accomplices from sneaking into the city in the middle of the night, no one is allowed to open the city gate to enter or exit." ”

The guard general said to Cai Jiu's henchman with a look of embarrassment: "But the person in this carriage is the Falling Moon Emperor, and she is going out of the city now......"

Cai Jiu's henchman interrupted the guard's words: "Didn't you hear me clearly just now?" The prefect said that no one should leave the city at this time. ”

"Cai Zhifu is so majestic!" Mo Gan couldn't help but said angrily, "He even dared to stop Emperor Ji's car, did he really think that this Jiangzhou was his territory!" ”

"Heh, I'm just here to deliver instructions, if you have any complaints, you can go and tell the prefect." Cai Jiu's confidant said disdainfully.

At this time, Zhao Shiyun spoke up, and her voice was cold: "Just open the city gate and let me out, if you can all let the thieves' accomplices sneak into the city for a short period of time, then I have to wonder how poor the strength of the officers and soldiers in Jiangzhou is?" Where is the military expenditure allocated by the imperial court to Jiangzhou every year used? ”

The guard was so frightened by Zhao Shiyun's words that cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

But Cai Jiu's henchman still said the same thing: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to the prefect to say." ”

"Presumptuous! How dare you be so rude when talking to the emperor! Mo Kun couldn't help it, and flew up directly from the carriage, kicking Cai Jiu's henchmen off the horse's back and hitting the ground.

Cai Jiu's henchmen just wanted to get up from the ground to fight back, but Mo Kun's sword was already across his neck.

Even so, Cai Jiu's henchman still had no color on his face, and his tone was still disdainful: "I am the prefect's right-hand man's right-hand man, do you dare to kill me here?" ”

Mo Kun turned his head to look at the carriage, and saw Xia He lift the curtain of the carriage and make a gesture to wipe his neck.

Seeing this gesture, Cai Jiu's henchman, who had always been fearless, finally had fear on his face at this moment: "I, I'm the prefect's henchman, you, you can't kill ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Kun slashed his long sword, and a stream of blood spurted out of Cai Jiu's henchman's throat like a fountain.

Until the time of his death, Cai Jiu's henchman still had an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. This palace kills you a small person, do you need so many scruples. Zhao Shiyun's cold voice came from the carriage.

The guards and soldiers on the side could only open their mouths wide and watch, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop them.

"Don't you want to open the gates and continue to hold back the emperor?" Mo Kun looked at the guard with an expressionless face.

The guard looked at the sword in Mo Kun's hand, which was dripping blood, and shivered involuntarily, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to open the city gate.

Out of the city gate, Xia He asked Zhao Shiyun puzzled: "Emperor Ji, why did you kill that Cai Zhifu's henchman just now?" ”

Since following Zhao Shiyun, she has never seen Zhao Shiyun order the guards to kill, and although Cai Jiu's henchman's attitude was very rude just now, he was not guilty of death, which did not conform to Zhao Shiyun's usual personality, so she was very puzzled.

"Do you remember what the note was?" Zhao Shiyun asked Xia He rhetorically.

Xia He nodded.

"The person who is going to kill me tonight is most likely Cai Jiu."

Xia He's eyes widened: "He's crazy?!" You are the emperor's favorite emperor! And it's the first time he's known to you, how could he do this kind of thing for no reason? ”

Zhao Shiyun closed her eyes, and the picture of Cai Jiu and Qian Zhixuan in the back garden irrepressibly appeared in her mind, which made her feel disgusted and betrayed.

"Because tonight I discovered a secret from him." Zhao Shiyun closed her eyes and said, tears slowly flowing down again.

Xia He panicked, and quickly took out a handkerchief to gently wipe away Zhao Shiyun's tears: "What kind of secret does it have to make him so crazy?" ”

Zhao Shiyun shook her head and said that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, and then asked Xia He: "And don't you think there are a lot of unreasonable things tonight?" ”

"You say that...... Xia He said with his index finger staring at his lower lip, "There are indeed a lot of unreasonable things, such as if it was really to prevent Lin Chong's accomplices from entering the city in the middle of the night, the order should have been issued a long time ago, instead of sending someone to hurry over like just now, and there was not even a notice, it was just an oral transmission, which was obviously prepared by Cai Jiu temporarily;

It's also a coincidence at another time, as soon as your front foot arrived, Cai Jiu's people chased after you...... If you add to God's guess, then all of this makes sense. ”
