Chapter 176: Palace Heavenly Fire
Gonggong Cao didn't say a word, and immediately arranged the horses.
In just ten breaths, two fast horses were pulled out.
Xu Jing and Father-in-law Cao each rode a horse out of the city, chasing Xiao Daoling's figure.
"I just hope nothing big happens."
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites experienced this dangerous scene, and his heart palpitated.
Whether it is Xiao Daoling or Xu Jing, it is too simple to pinch him, a small four-grade petty official, to death.
In the face of these two people, if he says a wrong word, it can cause a fatal disaster.
Even if Xu Jing was already far away, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites still trembled in his legs, and he was extremely reluctant to stand up.
"Get out of the way! I am the prime minister! β
Xiao Daoling's carriage was extremely fast, and after all, he still rushed to the front of Huangjue Temple before Xu Jing.
It's just that Xiao Daoling's carriage can only stop at five hundred steps away from Huangjue Temple, and it is not allowed to go deep into it at all.
Xiao Daoling walked out of the carriage and coldly warned these pawns who stopped the carriage.
Where did these pawns have the opportunity to meet Xiao Daoling, the head of the Great Qianwen Ministers?
Now that they saw it, they were all frightened, took a few steps back, and said cautiously: "Please wait for a while, and the little one will go to report to the general." β
"No, get out of here! The old man wants to enter the Huangjue Temple! β
Xiao Daoling waved his hand and refused coldly, then stepped out of the carriage and strode towards Huangjue Temple.
This group of pawns only dared to surround Xiao Daoling, and did not dare to step forward to obstruct them at all, so they could only watch Xiao Daoling gradually approach Huangjue Temple.
γ
"What's going on? Don't let Jean Er and others look at the place, without His Majesty's will, no one is allowed to enter and leave the Huangjue Temple at will? β
Seeing that the military formation not far away was scattered, You Xian frowned slightly, and invited his subordinates to scold.
"The last general will find out the situation."
The adjutant was very aggrieved but not easy to attack, so he could only nod obediently and said.
"Go quickly, if there is a next time, the violator will be killed!"
You Xian waved his hand to signal the adjutant to go down, but his face was full of depression.
You Xian spent a lot of time and energy, and it was not easy to get so much trust from Xu Jing.
Now is the most critical time, if you do it wrong, I am afraid that all the previous efforts will be in vain.
But if it is done well enough, it is not a fantasy to be knighted in the future!
Seeing that the military formation in the distance was still disturbed, You Xian's irritability became more and more obvious: "What's the matter? Why hasn't you heard back for so long? β
You Hyun asked the pawn beside him to vent his dissatisfaction.
The pawn replied tremblingly: "Presumably it is only temporary, the deputy general has already gone to inquire, and I believe that there is news within the half-burnt incense."
Listening to what the pawn said, You Xian could only barely suppress the anger in his heart.
Not long after, the adjutant came to You Xian with a look of uneasiness and said, "General, I'm afraid that you will have to go to this matter in person."
"Who? Dare to trespass into the military formation and ask General Ben to meet him? β
You Xian was already angry, and when he heard what the adjutant said, the anger could not be suppressed.
"General, that is the prime minister of Daqian!"
The adjutant reminded You Xian in a low voice.
"Who?"
You Xian was also like being struck by lightning, so he stabilized his mind and asked again.
"Xiao Daoling, Prime Minister Xiao!"
The adjutant repeated.
"Watch here, General Ben will go back as soon as he goes."
You Xian immediately rode on a fast horse to the chaos of the military formation.
It didn't take long for You Xian to see Xiao Daoling, who was walking towards Huangjue Temple step by step surrounded by countless soldiers.
At this time, Xiao Daoling was only less than fifty steps away from Huangjue Temple.
"The last general will see Prime Minister Xiao!"
You Xian gave up his horse, walked quickly to Xiao Daoling and bowed.
"You Xian, General You. Didn't you also come to stop the old man from entering the Huangjue Temple? β
Xiao Daoling sneered and looked at You Xian and asked lightly.
"It's not that the last general wants to stop Xiangye, it's just that there is a military order and I have to obey. Please be considerate. β
You Xian was neither humble nor arrogant, and got up to look at Xiao Daoling.
"Military orders?" Xiao Daoling looked at You Xian and sneered, and then asked, "Presumably, the military order also said that if anyone dares to trespass, they will be killed, right?"
"What? General You, is this going to execute the old man on the spot? β
Xiao Daoling's cold words forced You Xian to take half a step back, his face changed slightly, and he shook his head and replied: "Don't dare, the last general naturally won't dare to use the knife against Xiangye, but please be considerate of me and others."
"If Xiangye really wants to enter Huangjue Temple, please also ask Xiangye to bring His Majesty's handwriting. At that time, he will personally send Xiangye into Huangjue Temple. β
"Good, good! Xu Jing can raise a dog like you, it is his ability. β
"However, today, the old man of Huangjue Temple must enter! If you have the guts, you will do it to the old man. β
"If not, just get out of the way!"
Xiao Daoling sneered, unceremoniously regarded You Xian as a dog, and even more coldly ridiculed.
"Please stop it!"
At this moment, there was a little more killing intent in You Xian's eyes.
He can tolerate Xiao Daoling to make inches again and again, but he can't tolerate such humiliation by the head of a civil official.
These military attachΓ©s shed blood for the country, but they can't compete with the civilian officials, and they move their mouths above the high hall.
You Xian already didn't have much of a good impression of civil officials, but now Xiao Daoling's actions made You Xian even more disgusted.
As Xiao Daoling took a step forward, You Xian had already snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of the soldier on his side and aimed it at Xiao Daoling.
"Heh, kill the prime minister of the dynasty, the old man wants to see if General You has this kind of courage?"
Xiao Daoling sneered, not taking You Xian seriously at all, and still sneering.
"Xiao Daoling, this general will give you a face to call Xiangye, if you take another step, this general will shoot him immediately!"
You Xian's anger was completely ignited, and he warned loudly.
For a while, the two of them drew their crossbows almost to the point of seeing blood.
"Drop your bow and arrows!"
Just as the bowstring was about to be full, Xu Jing hurried over and interrupted the confrontation between the two in a loud voice.
"The last general will see Your Majesty!"
When You Xian saw Xu Jing appear, he immediately put down his bow and arrows and knelt on one knee.
"Get up."
Xu Jing nodded and motioned for You Xian to stand up.
At the same time, he walked quickly towards Xiao Daoling.
"The old man is weak, so he will not salute His Majesty."
Xiao Daoling looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and looked at Xu Jing with a sneer and said.
"Presumptuous! This is the emperor of the dynasty! Even if you are the prime minister, you have to kneel! β
You Xian warned Xiao Daoling viciously.
"If Prime Minister Xiao is here to see the queen, please go back early."
Xu Jing looked at Xiao Daoling calmly and said.
"What? His Majesty secretly sent the queen to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb, and the old man couldn't even see each other as his father? β
Xiao Daoling sneered, looked at Xu Jing and asked.
And the anger in his eyes could not be suppressed.
"The Queen's visit to the Imperial Tomb was voluntary. There was no compulsion in the main palace. β
Xu Jing looked at Xiao Daoling calmly and said slowly.
"Xu Jing, you keep these words for these doglegs, do you think the old man will believe it?"
Xiao Daoling's silver teeth were about to be crushed, and he glared at Xu Jing viciously and shouted angrily.
"Believe it or not, it's only you. Today, I will not let you meet the Queen. β
Xu Jing said calmly, leaving no room for the slightest.
"Excellent! The old man wants to see if His Majesty really has the courage to kill the old man! β
Xiao Daoling sneered and walked towards Huangjue Temple again.
"Don't challenge my bottom line, I'll only give you one last chance!"
