"What did you say?!"

Ziji City, Ziwei Palace.

Jiang Chengwan, who had just rested for a short time, suddenly jumped up from the dragon bed, her little face full of anger.

"Xingping County was attacked by thieves, and Lu Qing almost died?!"

"Hmm."

At this time, Jiang Chengdao, who was presiding over the overall situation in Xingping County, answered in a deep voice while handling official business.

"At present, the thief and the traitor in the DPRK and China have colluded, the purpose of the thief is the thousand-year-old spirit of Xingping County, and he is willing to act as a blade for this, and the purpose of those traitors is Lu Chen himself, if it weren't for Lu Chen and Gu Simiao just going here to play, the current Xingping County is probably already a purgatory on earth."

He reported to the empress what had happened in Xingping County and some of the results of the investigation he had just investigated, as well as the corresponding speculations.

However, before he could say that the thieves had slaughtered all the people in Lu Chen's fiefdom, the empress interrupted him impatiently.

"Brother Huang, how is Lu Qing now?"

Now she has no time to entangle Lu Chen and Gu Simiao's world, and if something so big happens, nothing is more important than Lu Chen's safety.

Jiang Chengdao glanced at Gu Simiao, who was waiting beside Lu Chen, who was unconscious not far away, obviously covered in blood, but still insisted on healing Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen is fine, it's just that his body is a little overdrawn, and although his spiritual veins are damaged, he stopped the injury in time, and he can recover after half a month of recuperation, but Gu Simiao's situation is a little bad."

At this point, he paused slightly.

"Not only did she single-handedly stop the ancient murderous array launched by the thieves, but she also fought to the death against the thieves while protecting the people of the county, and then used the forbidden power to protect Lu Chen at a huge cost."

"Now she is seriously injured, and the spiritual veins in her body are disordered, if she doesn't adjust her body as soon as possible, I'm afraid she will fall ill."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan first breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell silent inexplicably.

Although she didn't come in person, just listening to Jiang Chengdao's description, she could judge how dangerous the situation was at that time.

The government is suspended, the Great Soul Protector Array is ineffective, and the enemy is fully prepared, even if it is a strong person in the Guiyi Realm, in the face of such a grim situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it, not to mention the burden of the people of the whole city.

After doing this, she still refused to recuperate with peace of mind, and left Lu Chen's matter to others, and she must personally heal him to rest assured.

And she, a cultivator of martial arts, has done this for the people of the city, Jiang Chengwan doesn't have to guess to know the reason.

It was because she knew that she would be silent at this time.

After a moment, she sighed softly, and then said indifferently, "I know." ”

After cutting off the sound transmission, Jiang Chengwan got out of bed directly and shouted outside:

"Someone!"

Even though it was late at night, there was an instant sound of footsteps outside.

It didn't take long for a group of palace maids led by Ye Wan'er, the female official in charge of the inner palace, to rush in, and they all bowed to Jiang Chengwan in high spirits.

"Slaves and maids see Your Majesty."

Jiang Chengwan waved her hand, and then instructed Ye Wan'er: "Wan'er, you immediately take my hand to the Communication Division, and summon Xiao Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fu Huan, the commander of Xuanjiwei, the imperial history of the Zuodu, Liu Dongyang, the commander of the Ministry of War, Su Shuang, the commander of Yulinwei, Zhang Shiping, the commander of Tianxinwei, and Zhu Yong, the commander of Xuanwuwei, enter the palace immediately." ”

"Yes, slave and maid are going!"

Without a word of nonsense, Ye Wan'er responded directly, and then faced the empress, and slowly retreated towards the door.

The whole one is crisp and neat.

After Ye Wan'er left, Jiang Chengwan said again: "Change my clothes." ”

"Yes!"

There will be no eunuchs in the Ziwei Palace at night.

Since Jiang Chengwan took power, only the palace maids and female officials served her closely, the eunuchs basically worked in the side hall, and the professionally trained palace maids moved quickly, and it didn't take long for the empress to put on the red dragon robe.

Smack

The gilded boots stepped on the floor paved with high-grade spirit stones, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Chengwan waved her sleeves and walked towards Zichen Hall with a somewhat gloomy expression.

About three quarters of an hour, everyone who was called by Jiang Chengwan in the middle of the night came to the Zichen Hall one after another.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy."

Jiang Chengwan waved her hand impatiently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone got up, Liu Dongyang asked straight to the point: "I don't know why His Majesty summoned me to the palace late at night?" ”

The others also looked at Jiang Chengwan with inquiring eyes.

They don't have the instant communication capabilities of the empress and the holy king, so naturally they don't know what happened in Xingping County, but they vaguely guess that something terrible should have happened.

Otherwise, with the empress's temperament, she would definitely not summon them into the palace in the middle of the night.

Jiang Chengwan didn't sell Guanzi, and directly told everyone about the attack on Xingping County and Lu Chen's almost death.

Hearing the news, especially hearing that Lu Chen had an accident, almost everyone's faces changed drastically.

Especially Chai Hongyu and Fu Huan, the latter even clenched his fists, looking like he couldn't wait to fly to Xingping County on the spot.

After Jiang Chengwan explained the matter briefly, she didn't give everyone time to digest it, and directly ordered: "Fu Huan, you immediately take all the Xuanji guards in Beijing to monitor every move of all the princes and nobles in the capital, strictly investigate this matter, and not let go of any clues, if necessary."

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly turned cold.

"I'll let you do it cheaply."

Hearing this, Fu Huan's lips squirmed a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back again, and finally arched her hand to Jiang Chengwan expressionlessly.

"Wechen obeys."

Jiang Chengwan looked at Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and Zhu Yong, who were in charge of the three major battalions in Beijing at this time.

"The capital will be under martial law from today, strengthen the security everywhere, and strictly investigate all those who enter and leave the capital, no matter who it is, whether it is the royal family or the people, everyone must unconditionally accept the investigation and confirm that there is nothing suspicious before they can be released."

"If someone doesn't cooperate by virtue of his identity, he can take it on the spot, if he resists"

In his bright eyes, a touch of murderous intent flashed.

"Kill or kill!"

Hearing this, the three people who were watching by her suddenly turned pale.

"Obey the order!"

Liu Dongyang and Fang Ping subconsciously glanced at each other, and their scalps were numb.

This battle. Isn't that an exaggeration?

The people of a county were almost buried, although this is a great event, but it should not be so aggressive.

Xuanjiwei and the three major battalions. This is the most elite armed force in Gyeonggi, just pouring out of the nest, controlling the capital, and controlling all the officials, nobles, families, and wealthy families in the capital

If you're not careful, it's a big mess.

After all, Xingping County was not destroyed, although the loss was not small, but it was not much under the efforts of Lu Chen and Gu Simiao

While thinking about it, Jiang Chengwan suddenly took out an extremely delicate jade talisman from her arms, and then threw it away with a flick of her hand.

"Fu Huan, you hold my talisman, and I will be responsible for this matter."

Once again, she showed her vigorous side.

"If you find anything, even if there is no direct evidence, you can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Beijing and take down all the suspicious people."

The military power of the forbidden army in Beijing, this great power, was handed over to Fu Huan, the executioner of officialdom.

Such a shocking scene made Fang Ping and Liu Dongyang's eyes straighten in surprise.

It's not Your Majesty, this is the military power, the military power of the Praetorian Guard, which is related to the lives of all the people in Beijing! That's what you give?

Could it be that in your eyes, the affairs of Xingping County are more important than the stability of Luojing and the overall situation of the court?

"Your Majesty, no"

Fang Ping still couldn't hold back after all, and stood up to speak.

However, Jiang Chengwan glanced at him expressionlessly.

"I don't have time to give advice now, Fang Aiqing, and all the secretaries, you have to make it clear, I am now ordering you to do things, not discussing with you, I don't want to hear a word of nonsense again, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with anyone."

Fang Ping: "."

As a party, Fu Huan's face did not change in the slightest, but silently took Jiang Chengwan's talisman and retreated.

Jiang Chengwan looked at Xiao Yun again.

"Elder Xiao Ge, the Xingping County government has been completely paralyzed, and now it needs a weighty talent to preside over the overall situation."

Xiao Yun simply replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go." ”

There is no trace of mud and water, and there is even a faint sense of impatience.

Jiang Chengwan's little hand under the dragon robe tightened, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Chai Qianhu."

"Wechen is here."

Jiang Chengwan took a deep breath.

"Gu Aiqing is seriously injured, and Lu Qing can't be without a strong person by his side, you can go for a trip."

"No!"

The moment the words fell, Chai Hongyu turned directly into a ball of flames, shooting towards Xingping County at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared into the distant sky in a few breaths, completely disappearing.

After Chai Hongyu left, Jiang Chengwan finally sat down.

"Fang Aiqing, Liu Aiqing, you are responsible for investigating this matter on the surface."

Liu Dongyang and Fang Ping sighed helplessly.

What else can they say now?

Don't look at the empress who often humbly admonishes in the court, just think that she is very good at talking, in fact, admonishment also depends on people.

More than eighty percent of her admonitions were put forward by Lu Chen, or as long as it was Lu Chen's suggestions, she almost never objected.

Don't ask, ask is quasi-playing.

Now that the empress has expressed her position and set the tone, it makes no sense for them to go up even if they are desperate and reckless.

Not everyone is like Lu Chen, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers, since the empress has made up her mind, no matter how much they don't understand, they can only try to do things well.

After the two of them got down, they thought that this matter was over here.

However, Jiang Chengwan suddenly spoke again.

"In addition, I will personally go to Xingping County tomorrow, and during my absence in Beijing, my Nine Emperor Sisters, Princess Linqing, will supervise the country, and the two Aiqing will bother to assist the Nine Emperor Sisters in handling the government affairs."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly stunned, and looked at the empress who had already prepared the holy decree with a look of disbelief. (End of chapter)
