Eighty-one, the female official Rong Zhen
"Where did Lord Wang's information come from, so sure that something happened tonight?"
"Two female historians, do you still need information for this matter, isn't it obvious?
"Xunyang Wangfu teamed up with Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan to harbor Wang Junzhi, a fellow rebel and thief.
"And tomorrow morning, the mission sent by His Majesty will arrive in Xunyang to thoroughly and strictly investigate the affairs before and after Li Zhengyan's rebellion......
"Xunyang Wangfu and Ouyang Lianghan are thieves, but they can't jump off the wall in a hurry, how dare they wait for the Luoyang delegation to arrive? I didn't run away the night before, I didn't run away last night, but I can't escape tonight?
"This is the last chance, you don't have to guess, so the two female historians, you have to focus on guarding tonight!"
Xiushuifang, an ordinary mansion on the same street as Xunyang Wangfu,
At this moment, it is late at night, but it is overcrowded.
As far as the eye can see, there are roughly three groups of people.
Wang Ran, who was dressed in a crimson official uniform and wearing a black gauze hat, stood coldly with his hands behind his back, looking at the quiet Xunyang Mansion in the distance, and talking eloquently.
Standing side by side with him, on the promenade, were two female officials in colorful clothes.
One stand and one sit.
Sitting was a dignified and solemn palace woman, who was Miao Zhen who had a gap with Ouyang Rong and the Xunyang King family.
Standing was a cold palace girl, who seemed to be called Rong Zhen.
In addition to their age and appearance, the two daughters have exactly the same makeup and palace costumes, and they are both female officials in colorful clothes in front of the saint's palace, and their status is respected.
Wang Lengran treated them with a respectful and respectful attitude, and did not dare to go beyond them.
In addition to them, there are also teams of armored soldiers standing inside and outside the corridor, the number of which is about 300, ready to go, lined up in a line, strict discipline, and do not squint.
If it weren't for the occasional night breeze blowing the dark red scarves around their necks, they would have really given people the feeling of stone statues.
At this time, there were no lanterns on the promenade, and there were no lights in the whole house.
Under the cold moonlight, the chain armor and metal weapons on the soldiers' bodies were cold, and at this moment, about five watches, the metal armor condensed the early morning dewdrops, reflecting this solemn atmosphere.
If you look closely, you can see that they still have wooden pieces around their necks that are used to attack the city at night, which are used to silence and sneak around.
These three hundred soldiers in armor lined up in the Zhichong Mansion were like giant beasts waiting for their prey in the dark, waiting quietly, and they didn't know what they were told today, waiting for their prey with great fanfare.
Standing in front and leading the team tonight are Shi Sunyu, the governor of Zhichong Prefecture, and Qin Heng, the commander of Guoyi, two senior generals of Jiangzhou's third Zhichong Mansion.
The two stood silently behind Rong Zhen, Miaozhen, and Wang Lengran, without saying a word.
The one who just opened her mouth to talk to Wang Lengran was the colorful ribbon female official Miaozhen, her face was pale, and after listening to Wang Lengran's confident explanation, she looked at him:
"Lord Wang is worthy of the loyalty of the country, and he will do his best to share the worries of His Majesty."
"The female historian is overrated."
Wang smiled coldly, and glanced at the cold palace girl.
The lady in the dress named Rong Zhen did not participate in the conversation between the two.
Wang Lengran even found that since he came, this woman and Miaozhen, who is also a female official in colorful clothes, have very few words, and her temperament is the same, cold, like a piece of hard ice.
However, compared with the female official Miaozhen, Rong Zhen gave him a more unfathomable feeling and a lot of pressure.
In fact, before taking the initiative to call the female official in colorful clothes tonight and report the Xunyang Palace, Wang Lengran didn't even know the existence of this girl in cold palace clothes.
She also appeared quietly tonight.
He always thought that in the eyes of His Majesty in Xunyang City, only the group of female palace officials led by Miao Zhen also dealt with Miao Zhen a little more, after all, he often sued Ouyang Rong.
But who would have thought that at some point, there was an extra walking presence in the city at the level of a female official in colorful clothes, secretly supervising Xunyang City.
This female official named Rong Zhen in colorful clothes must have been more than just supervising Xunyang Wangfu and Ouyang Lianghan before.
Wang Lengran said in his heart...... The people who are supervised may include Miaozhen and him, and even the recent movement of Wei's Keqing Boss Li and others in Xunyang City is under her nose.
And his intuition told Wang Lengran that this cold palace girl might be higher than Miao Zhen's Qi cultivation.
That kind of unspeakable coercion, you can't be wrong.
I can't say it, it's the rumored six-grade yin and yang family,
Just like the golden boy and jade girl in Taoist mythology, it can reduce the traces of its own years and make its face permanent.
Therefore, the specific age of this cold palace girl cannot refer to girls of the same age.
However, the permanent appearance is not completely frozen and unchanged, but because the Yin and Yang family qi practitioners are proficient in Tibetan style and qi, resulting in the aging speed of appearance, which is several times slower.
Either way, one thing is certain.
Even with the vast resources of the palace, this woman is still a cultivator seed of the innate demon level, otherwise how could she enter the sixth rank at a young age, and her face is permanent.
It is important to know that the sixth to fifth grade is an important watershed.
The ninth-grade and eighth-rank qi practitioners are the lower grade qi practitioners of the blue aura.
The seventh-grade and sixth-grade qi practitioners are the middle-grade qi practitioners of vermilion aura.
The fifth and fourth grades are noble purple qi and high-grade qi practitioners.
And then there is the legendary Shenzhou celestial.
In this era when myths have been lost, the competition has been suspended, and the gods and men have disappeared.
The high-grade qi practitioner who can resist the wind is already the top combat power in the world, all of them are leaders in one side, well-known great masters in the rivers and lakes, and the pillars of the upper sect in the manifest and hidden worlds.
For example, in the Yunmeng Sword Ze Female Monarch Palace, the great female monarch who is the leader of the world's sword path.
Even the arrogant and domineering Wei family, who has been in charge of half of the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years, has only befriended a few high-grade grandmasters.
Except for the military master Qiu Shenji, who poured all his resources into worship, almost all of the rest are accustomed to practicing in seclusion, or are attached to the sect and far away from the existence of the Hongchen Imperial Power.
The secular red dust, especially the supreme imperial power that mortals compete for, seems to be a taboo and cumbersome for high-grade qi practitioners.
In addition to the Dao schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Bingjia, Yin and Yang Family, etc., the high-grade qi practitioners are all dragons who see the beginning but not the end.
Therefore, under the top-grade qi practitioners, the six-grade qi practitioners who can leap a hundred feet, as the apex of the middle-grade qi practitioners, are already first-class top masters.
Wang Lengran thought of this, looked at the Xunyang Mansion in the night in the distance, and sneered in his heart, there is a female official of this level, what are you going to run?
He looked around at the elite ambush soldiers inside and outside the corridor, and smiled:
"Thank you to the two female historians for their skills of hiding qi and muffling their voices, otherwise they may have to startle the snake."
Miao Zhen was silent.
Rong Zhen didn't look back, his sleeves looked up, and he looked at the night sky and stars above the Xunyang Palace.
Wang Lengran almost said:
"Just now, Ouyang Lianghan quietly sneaked into the palace, and the two female historians also saw it, this son is really not honest."
Miao Zhen whispered: "This is the only one, there is no legal crime." ”
Wang Lengran was not in a hurry: "Wait a little longer, there will be a conspiracy tonight." ”
After a while, Rong Zhen and Miao Zhen turned their heads together and looked at a certain place in Xunyang Palace.
Seems to be aware of some movement.
At this moment, a messenger came in at a trot, Wang Lengran glanced at it, it was Boss Li's person, after listening to the whispered message, his face pretended to be surprised, and he said with a righteous face:
"Two strange messengers who entered the city overnight? Oh, two female historians, and two more thieves have infiltrated, it seems that the Xunyang Mansion is really tired tonight. ”
He is righteous and righteous.
Miao Zhen and Rong Zhen glanced at each other, without words, and the tacit understanding didn't care.
If there are no conclusive signs and evidence of rebellion, they will not take the initiative to do anything, and what happened tonight can only be recorded truthfully with a red pen.
Listen less, talk less, guess less, this is the way to survive in the Great Zhou court.
Therefore, whether it was Ouyang Rong, who had just entered the house overnight, or the two hurried figures that seemed to be reporting the news, the two daughters turned a deaf ear.
After most of the hour, Miao Zhen and Rong Zhen moved slightly again, looking at the night in the distance.
After listening to this, Wang Lengran sneered and said to the two female officials in colorful clothes:
"This Xie woman is also in the same party, and when she went out over the wall this time, she must have secretly connected and reported to her accomplices."
Miao Zhen looked at Rong Zhen.
The cold girl didn't speak, jumped up lightly, stood on the roof under the moon, and looked coldly at the night of Xunyang City.
Miaozhen glanced at Wang Lengran: "Don't worry, you can't run away." ”
Wang smiled coldly and narrowed his eyes.
Tonight, as long as Ouyang Lianghan and the Xunyang Wang family dare to leave Xunyang City, they will abscond to join the enemy, the evidence is conclusive, and the two female officials in colorful clothes will definitely take action, as for some details and the truth of the reason, who knows?
Wang Lengran was happy in his heart, this time Li Zhengyan raised the flag to rebel, making Jiangzhou the front line of all people's attention, but Wang Lengran's power was strengthened in disguise.
Not only did the court delegate power to support, but the Wei family also contributed to the effort, and various internal voices were temporarily integrated, and Boss Li, who presided over the intelligence work on the Jiangnan side of the province, had to cooperate with Wang Lengran.
That's why tonight was so smooth.
Half an hour later, a red shadow in the distance went and returned, returning to the palace.
Rong Zhen glanced in the direction of the West City Gate, and the figure suddenly disappeared.
Wang Lengran didn't ask much, his eyes stared at the quiet Xunyang Palace, as if he was waiting for something.
Soon, close to dawn, another subordinate sent by Boss Li came down to report.
After listening to the whisper, Wang Lengran suppressed the corners of his upturned mouth, smiled at Miaozhen, who closed his eyes and waited for the dawn, and said:
"Caught an anti-thief accomplice who wanted to abscond, this person has already made all the moves, and told Xunyang Wang Lixian, Changshi Ouyang Lianghan and anti-thief Wang Junzhi that they are discussing the matter of fleeing west tonight......
"Lord Nushi, the analysis of the lower officials is correct."
"Hmm."
The woman in the palace costume did not open her eyes, gently bowed her head, and at a certain moment, seemed to sigh slightly.
Obviously the weather was cold in the early morning, but Wang Lengran was a little hot and unbearable, his face was full of red tide, he raised his hand and ripped off the collar of his neck, he wandered in place, turned his head, looked at Qin Heng and Sun Yu, and ordered them to start the whole team and prepare to arrest the traitor.
Qin Heng glanced at Wang Lengran, and saw that this old face with deep nasolabial folds in Jiangzhou Thorn History had a faint joy that could not be suppressed.
At this moment, in the direction of Xunyang Palace, a fire suddenly broke out.
This firelight was incomparably obvious in the dark night, reflected in the eyes of everyone in gear inside and outside the corridor, like a flame in the darkness.
When there was movement, Wang Lengran's face was happy at first, and then he was stunned, and after reacting, he said to himself in confusion: "This is ...... How it caught fire. ”
The Xunyang Palace, which had been quiet in the night before, suddenly became noisy, the lights were bright, the door of the house was open, the slaves and maids were running around, carrying buckets to draw water, and at the same time some people shouted, the assassins attacked at night, guarding the king of Xunyang and the prince...... In the quiet water workshop in the early morning, the shouts shook the sky.
Miao Zhen suddenly opened her eyes and frowned.
Wang Lengran was shocked, shouldn't he run away quietly, what's going on, want to fish in troubled waters?
Someone came to report in a hurry: "Oh no, the slave and maid of the Xunyang Palace's palace said that there were thieves who sneaked in and set fire to assassinate him, and the King of Xunyang had fainted, and the prince was also seriously injured......
Miao Zhen suddenly said: "Hurry up, go in and save people." ”
"This ...... This must be fake, and the female historian should not be gullible...... How could there be an assassination of a thief, it was obviously them who were in tandem with the thief and wanted to escape at night. ”
The unexpected situation made Wang Leng anxious:
"Maybe...... Maybe they're trying to lure us out so we can run away. ”
Miao Zhen glanced at Wang Lengran:
"Rong Zhen is here, if they dare to escape, they can't get out of the city. Come in quickly, it's useless to wait here, don't delay the opportunity to save people.
"Lord Wang, if the King of Xunyang is really assassinated, but we are waiting outside, if Your Majesty and the court know, you and I can't afford this responsibility, so we will quickly enter the palace to help."
Wang Lengran's face was ugly.
"Hmph, it's just nonsense tonight, think about it, how to explain it to Your Majesty, I will report it truthfully tonight......" Miaozhen's patience ran out, ignored him anymore, turned his head and ordered the armor to rush to save people and put out the fire.
Wang Lengran had no choice but to keep up.
After a while, Miaozhen rushed into the Xunyang Palace, followed the direction of the smoke of the fire, and came to Juxian Garden.
They immediately saw that outside the burning house, in the open space, Ouyang Rong, Xie Lingjiang, Libao'er, and Wei Mei were tightly surrounding the two figures sitting and lying down.
I saw that the king of Xunyang fainted and did not wake up, and the prince was bleeding from Fusu's arm, dyed red and white, and his face was pale.
The princess Wei Mei and the little princess were hugging her husband and father and brother and crying bitterly.
Ouyang Lianghan and the noble daughter of the Xie family were standing aside, directing the extinguishing of the fire.
Not far from the crowd, there were scattered corpses.
When he saw Miao Zhen and Wang Lengran rushing in with the armor soldiers to "escort" for the first time, Ouyang Rong's expression was not surprised, ignoring Qin Heng's figure, he ridiculed and reproached instead:
"Why did Lord Wang come now, the prince is going to die, you just came, what are you eating, it's just a dereliction of duty, this official wants to join you!"
Everyone saw Ouyang Rong's bloodstained face, and he was awe-inspiring.
"Hey, this is ...... Why is the female history here too? Oh, too, it must be to obey His Majesty's will, wait by the side day and night, and keep a low profile to defend the palace. ”
After a pause, he frowned and criticized:
"But how did these anti-thief assassins get in? Why didn't you save the driver in the first place? How slow to react......
"You, you, you are careless and leave your post without permission, you are really not as smart as your subordinates, you are worried about the safety of the prince, you can't sleep tossing and turning, and you come to guard in the middle of the night."
Ouyang Rong looked distressed.
"......" Xie Lingjiang, Libao'er, and Wei Mei looked sideways.
“……??” Miao Zhen, Wang Lengran and others.
The corners of the woman's mouth twitched.
Wang Lengran leaned back slightly, looking at Ouyang Rong, who was arrogant and scolding him, his right eyelid jumped wildly......
