Strongbows and arrows are also firearms, which are not taken out in wartime, and are generally stored in arsenals, and the identity of the person who can obtain this weapon is certainly not ordinary. Therefore, Tang Chen speculated that Sister Hong still had accomplices in the imperial court, but he didn't know what kind of yamen these accomplices were, how high their official positions were, and what connections they had with people in the imperial court.

Therefore, even if he could catch up at that time, he would not chase it.

Tang Xiaohao smiled helplessly: "There is another reason why you didn't continue to investigate, and that is because you found the armor under the Twelve Squares." Because the appearance of the Guijia is exactly the same as the one in the Four Seas Inn, the Guijia case of the Four Seas Inn can be closed so quickly, just because you found out that there is a connection with the Nan Rong family, I don't need to use my brain to think of this, if it is not related to the Nan Rong family, whether it is you or the great strategist, you will definitely investigate to the end. ”

Tang Chen did not deny it: "Now is not the time to tear up your face with the Nanrong family." ”

Tang Xiaohao walked slowly towards the little bell: "Dad, I know, you have your reasons for doing things, if you don't take charge of the army, if you don't be ruthless, you won't be able to have today's status, but I thought of other ways to let the arrest yamen go to investigate the twelve squares, you don't need to kill people." ”

When Tang Xiaohao walked past Tang Chen, Tang Chen subconsciously glanced at his wound, and the wound recovered quickly, that's right, sure enough, this kid will be fine. Because only a completely deformed person can heal his wound so quickly.

Tang Xiaohao's thinking is very clear now, not like a mutant person.

Tang Chen just said: "When Emperor Shunhe was alive, he once told me that if I want to go up, then I have to give up that soft heart, because soft-heartedness is the biggest stumbling block. ”

Tang Xiaohao slowly sat next to the little bell and looked at Tang Chen: "So, the little bell must also die, right?" ”

Tang Chen looked at the two: "She is Sister Hong's accomplice, and she is close to Princess Baomeng, you know very well that once Princess Baomeng has an accident, she will give Rouyuan Tuo Sibu an excuse to send troops, not to mention, these people are even ready to use the armor." ”

Tang Xiaohao tried to persuade Tang Chen: "Dad, she has amnesia, she was used by Sister Hong, I guess she was not originally from that organization, now that Sister Hong is dead, the person who controls her is gone, she is free, and she doesn't need to be forced to do those things, I vouch for her." ”

Tang Chen stepped forward slowly, and the killing intent had already risen: "You will be a colt immediately, and you can't make the slightest mistake." ”

"It seems that I can't convince you," Tang Xiaohao smiled bitterly, "I was also injured by the armor, and there is a high chance of mutation, and sooner or later I will die, since this is the case, then the child only asks for one thing." ”

After that, Tang Xiaohao hugged the little bell beside him: "After we die, Troublesome Dad will bury us together." ”

Tang Chen was puzzled: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Tang Xiaohao said solemnly: "This is my wife, we have worshiped and bowed, although there is no media, but for me it is also a marriage, I swore and promised to live and die with her." Dad, don't forget, you said that a man can't make an oath easily, and once he makes an oath, he must keep it no matter what. ”

Tang Chen knew Tang Xiaohao's temperament very well, what this kid decided would be done no matter what, even if he insisted on killing Xiao Bell now, Tang Xiaohao would fight with his life.

Tang Chen finally said: "I will also stay in the side courtyard until tomorrow night, I hope you will not change before sunset tomorrow." ”

After Tang Chen left, Tang Xiaohao, who could no longer support him, fainted, he was actually very weak.

It's just that Tang Xiaohao didn't know that tears flowed from the corners of the eyes of the little bell snuggled up to him.

She remembered that night, Tang Xiaohao pretended to make a serious oath to the sky: "I, Tang Xiaohao, am willing to marry Tang Ling, and I won't repeat the vows after that, anyway, I said the same thing to her, then I won't bother God here, I wish you a happy life, goodbye!" ”

Perhaps, this is the undying death.

——

Tang Chen walked into the courtyard and looked up to the sky and sighed. He has been painstaking these days, and he was helpless to do that last night, because he didn't know who was standing behind that Sister Hong, and if he arrested people with great fanfare, it would cause unknown and unpredictable results.

It's just that he always thinks that Tang Xiaohao is still too soft-hearted, and soft-hearted people can't achieve great things.

However, he was still worried that the situation would change, although for now, Tang Xiaohao was fine, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Even if Tang Xiaohao will not change, will Little Bell, Tang Dun and himself be infected for some reason?

Tang Chen walked to the gate of the side courtyard and said to the left and right blind people guarding there: "From now on, until sunset tomorrow, I, the young master, the little bell and Tang Dun will not be able to leave the side courtyard, during this period, no matter who among the three of them changes, I will deal with it with my own hands." ”

After speaking, Tang Chen paused, and said: "If I can't stop it or say that I am also mutated, then trouble the two of you to work hard, if we are infected, the monster that has changed into a monster should be able to deal with it with stardust." ”

Left deaf and right blind just knelt there and didn't say a word.

Tang Chen turned to look at the big house in the side courtyard, if he could survive this crisis smoothly, would he really want to leave the little bell?

——

Imperial City, Supreme Palace.

Ji Chengying sat cross-legged on the huge dragon chair and took a nap, and in a few hours it would be the morning time, and it would be full of civil and military officials again.

At this time, there was no one else here except Ji Chengying, and even the people outside the hall were called by Ji Chengying to be fifty steps away from the Supreme Palace, because he needed to think quietly, and he also had to listen to the information that the Xuan Department regularly came to report and probed.

Ji Chengying can't always hide in the imperial study, after all, there are also the eyes and ears of those powerful ministers in the palace, and he even suspects that the inner servants around him are all from the Nanrong family.

A figure quietly fell from the beam of the main hall, directly in front of the dragon chair, and the man knelt down after landing on the ground: "Your Majesty." ”

Ji Chengying opened his eyes and asked, "Say." ”

Xuanbu said: "The murder that happened last night has been investigated, and the murderer framed Tang Chen's son Tang Xiaohao for the murder, but it was actually Oiran Hanshuang who was hiding in the Red Card Twelve Squares, but neither the arresting yamen nor the iron guards caught her on the spot, so that the woman jumped into the river and ran away." ”

Ji Chengying asked, "The ironclad guards are all dispatched?" ”

Xuanbu commanded: "And it's a dragon and leopard ride." ”

Ji Chengying smiled: "Interesting, what does Tang Chen want to do?" actually sent all the dragon and leopard riders, it seems that this matter is not so simple. ”

Xuanbu said: "According to the report of the secret chess we planted in the Tang Mansion, in the evening, Tang Xiaohao's personal maid died, and she was killed by a fierce arrow that attacked from outside the Tang Mansion, but before that, Tang Chen and the two guards guarding the side courtyard of the Tang Mansion had already stopped the girl, but they didn't know the inside story. ”

Ji Chengying stretched: "This matter can be recorded, at least for now, Tang Chen is loyal to me, he must have his reasons for doing so, but this matter must be found out, and once it is found out, it will be reported immediately." ”

The commander of the Xuan Department replied: "Yes! ”

Ji Chengying asked again: "What about the situation in Mingshu Palace?" ”

Xuanbu commanded: "The people around Tang Guifei did not have contact with people outside the palace, and she did not send people out of the palace, she just read books and stroked the piano every day. ”

Ji Chengying nodded slightly: "How about the Qinghe Hunting Ground?" ”

"The Rouyuan Palace is already arranging the preparations for the wedding, and Princess Baomeng is still riding a horse and archery and herding sheep every day, and she has not seen the Great Strategist approach," the commander of the Xuan Department replied, "The people of the Rouyuan Palace have not had any contact with the people outside, and the people from the Ministry of Rites are responsible for the procurement and purchase, and who is sent by the Ministry of Rites, and when and when they have contact with the people of the Rouyuan Palace, all of them are recorded." ”

Ji Chengying leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and said, "Very good, all peaceful, what about the Iron Armor Guard and the Shendu Army?" ”

The commander of the Xuan Department replied: "As always, there is no change. ”

Ji Chengying sighed: "So, how is the matter of installing dark chess in Nanrong Mansion?" ”

The commander of the Xuan Department hesitated and said, "It's really difficult to penetrate, but Weichen is still trying to figure out a way." ”

Ji Chengying said: "I must find a way to insert the dark chess into it, even if it is one person, I originally wanted to make the dark chess all over the world, but the cost is too great and the confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, so I only hope to master every move in the Divine Capital City." ”

The commander of the Xuanbu said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that you can find a way to contact the Evil Dao side, because the Twelve Sects of the Evil Dao are extremely well-informed. ”

Ji Chengying shook his head and said: "The alien is unwilling to cooperate with the imperial court, even if the people we sent do not admit their identities, but the news of the investigation will be detected by them, maybe they will find out the news, and then the gains will outweigh the losses, so there is no need to ask me about this matter." ”

The commander of the Xuan Department had to say: "Yes, Weichen understands, there is one more thing." ”

Ji Chengying asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The commander of the Xuan Department said: "A slain armor was found in the secret passage dungeon of the Twelve Fangs, and the news was told by the dark chess in the Dragon Leopard Ride. ”

Ji Chengying immediately asked: "There is another caricature?" ”

"That armor is the same as the one in the Four Seas Inn, the skin is cracked," Xuanbu Commander frowned, "The strange thing is that half of the armor's head was knocked off by something, and his chest was also blasted out of a hole by something similar to a firecracker, and there were traces of other people's blood at the scene, and the people of the dragon and leopard riders judged that although someone killed the armor, they were also injured by the armor, and the most important thing is ......"

Ji Chengying immediately asked, "What is it?" Say it! ”

The commander of the Xuan Department raised his head slightly: "After tracking the traces left by that person, the people of the Dragon and Leopard Rider finally found that the place where that person fled was the Tang Mansion. ”

Ji Chengying was stunned when he heard this: "What? Tang House? Tang Chen's mansion? ”

Xuanbu said: "Yes, according to the iron armor guard at the gate of the Tang Mansion, Tang Gongzi seemed to have been injured when he came back, and he tried his best to cover it up, so Wei Chen suspected that the person who killed the armor but was bitten was Tang Xiaohao." ”

Ji Chengying pondered for a moment and said: "Last time, Tang Xiaohao was also involved in the case of the Four Seas Inn, and this time there is him, in your opinion, is this a coincidence?" ”

The commander of the Xuan Department replied: "Wei Chen thinks that it is no coincidence, the last time Tang Chen investigated the Guijia case, although he executed a guard of the Shendu Army, but those people should be substitutes for the dead, although the secret chess placed in the Shendu Army did not find valuable news, but Mu Yinghao, the commander of the Shendu Army, is a retainer of the Nanrong family. ”

Naturally, the commander of the Xuan Department did not dare to say that the Shendu Army actually belonged to the private soldiers of the Nanrong family, which would directly anger Ji Chengying.

Ji Chengying was silent, and the commander of the Xuan Department had been lying there and didn't dare to say anything.

Ji Chengying said after a long time: "Let the dark chess of the Tang Mansion keep an eye on it, if anything happens, you must tell us, even if nothing happens, after Tang Xiaohao becomes a concubine and stays in the Rouyuan Palace, he must also send someone to keep an eye on him, the marriage will has been made, and it cannot be taken back, so I can only try my best to protect the safety of the princess, in addition, have you found a stand-in candidate?" ”

Xuanbu said: "Although I have found a woman who looks similar to Princess Baomeng, I really can't find a woman of the same size and height in Huayuan. ”

Ji Chengying sighed: "That's also possible, you must find a stand-in in case you need it." Go down. ”

The commander of the Xuan Department said: "Weichen retreats. ”

Ji Chengying suddenly asked again: "These days, has the prince been out of the house?" ”

The commander of the Xuan Department knelt down again: "No, I always stayed in the Xiwang Mansion and did not take half a step." ”

Ji Chengying deliberately asked, "Really?" Then how did I hear that King Xi went to the Qinghe Hunting Ground to meet Princess Baomeng a few days ago? ”

The Xuanbu commander's heart trembled, and he didn't know how to answer, because Prince Xi did not leave King Xi's Mansion for half a step, but he did see Prince Xi appear in the Qinghe Hunting Ground with his own eyes, so the only possibility is that the one who appeared in the Qinghe Hunting Ground was not Prince Xi, but the emperor in front of him.

The emperor and the prince are twins, they look exactly the same, except for the different clothes, the biggest difference is the beard on the mouth, as long as the emperor puts on a fake beard and changes his outfit, he can pretend to be the prince.

However, even if the commander of the Xuan Department knew, he didn't dare to say it openly, so he could only remain silent.

Ji Chengying said with a smile: "So, even if I can hide it from others, I can't hide it from my own Xuan Department, which shows that you are still attentive." ”

The commander of the Xuan Department buried his head: "Emperor Xie!" ”

After the commander of the Xuan Department retreated and disappeared into the darkness, Ji Chengying changed his face to be anxious, for him, every day not only has to deal with the affairs of the court, but also thinks about everything that happens around him, and everything is connected in every detail. Although it is said to be for the entire Dachang Dynasty, it is actually just to keep the throne of the Ji family, and also to ensure the lives of himself, his younger brother and his mother.

Fortunately, the Ji family has no close relatives to threaten them, and their relatives have no real power, and they were sent to remote areas as early as the Shunhe Emperor period, and the only remaining threat is those powerful ministers led by Nanrong Qufeng.

However, even if the Nanrong family is destroyed one day, it is still not an easy thing to sit firmly in the world.

Ji Chengying looked at the dragon head on the armrest of the dragon chair, and then looked at the golden dragons surrounding the pillars of the main hall, but he felt endless fatigue.

They say that the world is not the world of one man, and the world of the world is also. Since the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people of the world, why should there be a son of heaven? Why let the Son of Heaven bear all this? Why did I become the Son of Heaven? Why was I born in an imperial family?

The kings of the last world are all the same, and everything is different, the urgency of the world, the interests of the people, and the harm of the people.

Since the Kunlun Dynasty, people who have unified the world abound, and the things encountered by these people are not the same, but the same thing is that they must bear the responsibility of the world, the interests of the people, and the elimination of the scourge of the people.

Ji Chengying clutched the dragon head on the armrest, eager to unscrew the dragon head, because this dragon chair was a cage for him.
