Chapter VII: The people's hearts are scattered

"Once martial law is lifted, they will definitely think that I will escape from the city as soon as possible, and the royal family will definitely relax their vigilance, and then it will be the time when Nangong Jiang will die." Li Feibai continued.

"Childe, there's another question." Fang Shengshou touched his face and smiled bitterly.

"Speak."

"All this is just speculation on the part of the two of us, if the facts don't develop as we expected, wouldn't it be impossible to kill Nangong Jiang?"

"Nangong Jiang's life, I am going to decide, the facts are not far from ten, wait and see." Li Feibai smiled confidently.

The next day, as Li Feibai said, on Jinglin Long Street, the people finally broke out.

They gathered in groups outside the Jinglin City Lord's mansion and shouted loudly.

"Kaesong, Kaesong, Kaesong......"

Helpless, Shen Tianhe, the lord of Jinglin City, could only come out to appease people's hearts.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, Your Majesty has his own arrangements, and the stakes are really high, so bear with me for a few more days." Shen Tianhe frowned, but he had a smile on his face, but he was really bitter in his heart.

Your closure of the city is a matter of an order, but this mess is thrown to me to clean up, and if you don't handle it well, you have to take the blame, alas, it's too difficult. He was secretly worried.

"City Lord, it's been six or seven days, my elderly parents are living outside the city, and now I don't know whether they are dead or alive, please open the city gate and let us go out." A young man shouted anxiously.

"Yes, if my butcher shop is no longer in operation, the whole family will starve to death."

"What kind of secret spy can be locked down for seven days, please give us an explanation."

The crowd is up and down, and it is the voice of the masses at the bottom.

The law does not blame the public, Nangong Jiang listened to the shouts in the mansion, and he was really aggrieved in his heart, he couldn't order the Black Dragon Guard to arrest and kill this group of people.

But "White Tiger" still doesn't have any clues, how can he explain to Nangong Qing?

"Smack"

Grabbing the teacup in his hand, Nangong Jiang slammed it to the ground with a depressed expression.

"Your Highness, is martial law still going on?" The leader of the Black Dragon Guard asked inappropriately.

"Check, keep checking for me, this group of Diao people, let your people drive them away, but there are resistors, kill chickens and monkeys!" Nangong Jiang gritted his teeth.

"Yes!"

The number of people is not large, and when they encounter the black dragon guard who was killed on the battlefield, their momentum immediately became shorter, how dare they resist, and gradually dispersed in the shadow of the sword and sword.

But on the second day, nearly one-third of the people in the city blocked Jinglin Long Street, and the procession was hundreds of zhang long, and they still shouted in unison: Open the city!

"Your Highness, how is this good?" The leader of the Black Dragon Guard asked.

Sighing heavily, Nangong Jiang was helpless and said, "Go see your father." ”

Qingyun Palace, Nangong Qing was restless and wantonly smeared on the paper.

Seeing him like this, Feng Songfei, the personal eunuch, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Crumpled the paper on the case into a ball and threw it aside, Nangong Qing spoke: "It's the eighth day, and there is still no news?" ”

"Your Majesty, aren't there two more days?" Feng Songfei consoled.

"Do you think the prince can find out the 'White Tiger'?" Although he didn't believe that Nangong Jiang could find Li Feibai, Nangong Qing still wanted to get a positive answer from others.

He was really scared, and began to regret that he shouldn't have done anything to Li Feibai.

Feng Songfei can be the chief eunuch, the personal eunuch of the Son of Heaven, how shrewd his mind is, he immediately understood the meaning of Nangong Qing, and replied: "God bless me David, the prince is shrewd and capable, I believe that he will be able to find the 'White Tiger'." ”

Shaking his head, Nangong Qing sighed: "I hope so." ”

While speaking, the imperial guards entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking to see you outside." ”

"The prince is here?" Nangong Qing's face was filled with hope.

"Your Majesty, things must have progressed." Feng Songfei hurriedly said.

"Xuan!"

Nangong Jiang lowered his head and walked in, and then prostrate on the ground, sweating slightly on his forehead: "Father! ”

"How?" Nangong Qing asked directly.

"Erchen is incompetent, and the 'White Tiger' has not yet been found." Nangong Jiang mustered up the courage and finally replied.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Nangong Qing sighed lightly and sat back in the chair: "I should have known that there would be no accidents." ”

"Your Majesty is a little better, the prince is here, I think there is something to report." Feng Songfei comforted.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Nangong Qing glanced at him impatiently.

"Father, on the eighth day of martial law in Jinglin, the people were restless, and in the past two days, a large number of Diao people have marched on the streets, demanding the opening of the city, and the sons and daughters ...... Erchen came to ask for the emperor's order! Nangong Jiang said tremblingly.

"Hmph, I didn't find anyone, but I made a fuss." Nangong Qing was very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, at an extraordinary moment, you have to take extraordinary measures, the 'White Tiger' is cunning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has imposed martial law on the imperial city, which can be regarded as a proper handling, but it will take a little longer." Feng Songfei said with a smile.

That smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, as if no matter how big the matter is, when it comes out of his mouth, it can lift weight.

"Don't speak for him, I'm my age, I killed the enemy on the battlefield early, he's good, he can't even catch a secret spy." Nangong Qing continued to vent her frustration.

Nangong Jiang lay on the ground, not to mention replying, he didn't even dare to move.

After a long time, Nangong Qing sighed again, and said helplessly: "Don't worry about the 'White Tiger', let's clean up your mess first." ”

Nangong Jiang was like an amnesty, and respectfully withdrew from the Qingyun Palace.

He regretted it very much, why did he volunteer to take over the matter of the "White Tiger", but now it is good, he didn't even see the shadow of the other party, but left an incompetent impression in Nangong Qing's heart.

The only thing that can be done now is to calm Jinglin's hearts.

"Your Majesty, just let the 'White Tiger' go?" Feng Songfei asked softly after Nangong Jiang left.

"Of course not, since you can't catch him in private, let the people of the entire Shenzhou help."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Feng Songfei was puzzled.

"Decree the Criminal Department, issue a wanted warrant to Shenzhou, whoever obtains the head of the 'White Tiger', our royal family is willing to cede ten cities and reward the marquis." Nangong Qing squinted her eyes and said through gritted teeth.

"Hiss" Feng Songfei gasped when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, ten...... Ten cities? His eyes widened, suspecting he had misheard.

"Yes, Jiang Guo has offered a reward of five cities, and I have a reward of ten for defending the country, these fifteen cities are enough to dominate one side, I don't believe it, there is no brave man under the heavy reward."

"Won't this cost be too great?"

"Ten cities, if you lose them, you can get them back, if my royal family is gone, it will be completely over." Nangong Qing said in her mouth, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Feng Songfei didn't think so, just a secret spy, how could he confront the royal family with an army of millions?

He didn't believe it!

"Order, make the portrait of the 'White Tiger' public!"

"Yes!"
