Chapter 51: Clues

Apocalypse City.

The Imperial Study.

After Lin Xuan received the battle report from Baichuan and Canglang, the whole person was shocked, she knew that Tang Fei had mobilized the Shenwu Forbidden Army, but she didn't expect such a result.

Before the Shenwu Forbidden Army was under the management of Niu Ben, its combat effectiveness dropped by several grades.

After Niu Ben's death, the Shenwu Forbidden Army was more like mud that couldn't support the wall.

Otherwise, Lin Xuan would not have asked for help from Thousand Machine City.

"Whose decision was it this time?" Lin Xuan asked Song Xiu, the president of the Privy Council.

"The subordinates don't know,"

Song Xiu buried his head. "According to the investigation, all the operations were commanded by the Great General."

"Song Xiu, you are an old minister who has followed my father for many years, how long has the general been in the apocalypse, can you complete this plan?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Your Majesty, the general has always acted mysteriously, and those people under the minister have no way to approach it."

Song Xiu buried his head lower.

"Get up."

Song Xiudu is already in his sixties, and if he is really scared, Lin Xuan will feel that the gains outweigh the losses. "How is the relationship between Concubine Liu and Tang Fei?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the two have no intersection at all." Song Xiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke slowly. "The origin of the general is not at all, or rather, it seems to have appeared out of thin air."

"King-level cultivators, it's really difficult to check, I've always suspected that Tang Fei is a disciple of a certain sect, and he came to the human world to practice." Lin Xuan expressed her conjecture.

"It's also possible." Song Xiu also thought of this problem, it has always been that the practitioners of these cultivation sects will not reveal their identities, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"That's right." Song Xiu also thought of one thing. "Your Majesty, Zhao Gao and His Highness are very close."

"Zhao Gao?" Lin Xuan thought about it for a while, Zhao Gao was just a director of the Ministry of Rites, and at that time, Ye Xiong was going to be the secretary, and Zhao Gao should be his top boss.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yong and Liu Yun were also in the guild hall at that time, and it was during the period of His Highness's tenure that the two changed their original plans..."Song Xiu analyzed, whether this matter would be Ye Xiong's mastermind, but after thinking about it, how could Ye Xiong have such a great ability to command the general.

Also, Wang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites is quite loyal to His Majesty, if Zhao Gao and Ye Xiong have any secret actions, then Wang Zhong will definitely not hide it.

"Call Wang Zhong over."

"Now?" Song Xiu asked.

"Yes, right away." Lin Xuan sensed the abnormality from Song Xiu's words. "Also, call Zhao Gao over."

"Yes."

It didn't take long.

Wang Zhong and Zhao Gao hurriedly came to the imperial study.

"See Your Majesty."

"Zhao Gao." Lin Xuan asked with a smile. "Have you been anywhere lately?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Gao's face changed. "Back to Your Majesty, I've been to Heavenly Wind City."

"Did Wang Zhong send you?" Lin Xuan then asked.

At this time, Wang Zhong's head was covered with cold sweat, he had never made such a decision. "When did you go to Celestial Wind City? Didn't you ask for leave? ”

"Ahem." Zhao Gao had a complicated expression. "It's complicated."

"What are you two muttering?" Song Xiu asked sharply. "Now Your Majesty is questioning, and he is not honest."

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhong was about to explain, but Zhao Gao said first. "Your Majesty, Wechen begs for a separate explanation."

"You all go down."

When Wang Zhong heard this, he hurriedly stood up and retreated, and Song Xiu also left.

Now there are only Lin Xuan and Zhao Gao left in the imperial study.

"Is it related to Ye Xiong?"

"It's not." Zhao Gao clenched his fists, Ye Xiong must not be explained in this matter, otherwise he will die. "It's the minister's own idea."

"Your idea?"

Lin Xuan didn't believe it. "Zhao Gao, you have been doing nothing in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and now tell me, you went to Tianfeng City alone to demonstrate, did you want to bully the monarch?"

"Wechen doesn't dare."

Zhao Gao kowtowed heavily, and after a while, a pool of blood appeared on the ground.

"Wechen didn't deceive the king, what Wechen said was the truth." Zhao Gao's voice is getting smaller and smaller...

"Alright, let's stop." Lin Xuan didn't expect Zhao Gao to be able to do this in order to hide the truth of the matter.

"Your Majesty..."

Zhao Gao fell to the ground with blood on his face. "Tianfeng City is too deceitful, and I, Tianqi Erlang, will never compromise."

"Someone."

Hearing Lin Xuan's shout, Traceless, Song Xiu, and Wang Zhong rushed in together.

"Take Zhao Gao down to rest."

"Yes."

Song Xiu and Wang Zhong picked up Zhao Gao and walked out, while Wuxian held the sword and stood aside.

"Without a trace."

"The minister is here." Without a trace, he turned his head suspiciously to look at the empress in front of him, who was two or three years older than himself.

"Your sword looks familiar."

"Familiar?" Traceless's expression became even more puzzled. "Your Majesty, my sword is just an ordinary sword, not a precious sword."

"Were you recruited by the Great General?" Lin Xuan then asked.

"Yes."

Without a trace, he didn't have any scheming, Lin Xuan asked, he answered, these words, Liu Ruyu had been specially trained before.

"Where is your hometown?"

"I don't have a home, I'm an orphan."

"Orphans?" Lin Xuan saw that she couldn't ask anything, so she continued to bury her head in sorting out the music.

Small courtyard.

Mo Yu had already sorted out the prime minister's official uniform and put it on the table.

"Master, aren't you resting yet?"

"I'm waiting for someone." Ye Xiong lay on the bench and looked at the sky in the distance. "It should be almost there."

As soon as he finished saying this, the leaves above his head rose automatically without wind.

"Coming back?"

"Yes."

Qingfeng slowly showed his figure. "Boss, I have completed the task you assigned."

"This time it's done well, how is the performance of the Shenwu Forbidden Army?"

Ye Xiong got up and patted Qingfeng on the shoulder.

"In this actual battle, everyone's performance is not bad, but the casualties are also serious." Qingfeng briefly summed it up. "It's time to expand the army."

"Let Tang Fei deal with this matter tomorrow."

Ye Xiong sighed. "Starting tomorrow, I will be the prime minister."

"A big guy." Qingfeng looked at Ye Xiong unexpectedly. "Boss, does Lin Xuan know your identity?"

"I don't know, but I'm starting to suspect it." Ye Xiong looked at Qingfeng helplessly. "I didn't expect Wen Yan's eyes to be so vicious, since I came to the Apocalypse, he has been secretly observing everything about me."

"Wen Yan is a third-generation old minister, how can he do it if he doesn't have any skills?" Qingfeng said as a matter of course. "That's not right, then you are the prime minister, what about Wenyan?"

"It's dead, Tianfeng City and the Hidden Sword Sect attacked the palace together, and Wen Yan was stabbed with a poisonous needle..."When Ye Xiong thought of this, his heart still fluctuated a little.

"Celestial Wind City is really shameless, Boss, let me deal with them." Qingfeng clenched his fists.

"No, Tang Fei and I have already been there." Ye Xiong grinned. "If that Li Wenzheng can get out of bed in this life, I will change my name to his surname."

At this time.

Windy City.

Palace.

Li Wenzheng was wrapped like a mummy, and Zhang Liang stood beside the bed with a sad look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Raymond is dead in battle."
