Huai'an, Fengcheng.

King Chen, under the heavy guard, has returned to Fengcheng.

And Lord Zhao was behind him, and his old face was as plain as water, but his eyes were slightly complicated.

Just two hours ago, Lord Zhao had issued a decree to seal down the shops and warehouses of the Zhuang Firm in the city, and to seize the personnel of the Zhuang Firm.

The last time it was just a seizure, this time it was an arrest.

Last time it was sealed, he could maintain it a little, and ordered his subordinates to secretly slow down everything and give convenience to Zhuang's firm, but this time...... He didn't dare to show favoritism, but with the momentum of thunder, he completed King Chen's order.

After this incident, once the capital is convicted, most of the people in Zhuang's trading house will probably fall to the ground.

Although Lord Zhao is more inclined to Zhuang Ming.

But the rebellion is an irrefutable fact.

Although I don't know why Zhuang Ming's scheming has become so reckless and impulsive.

But it was impossible for him to accompany Zhuang Ming to the funeral.

"Lord Wang, the Great Commander has news. ”

"Read. ”

"The commander personally led more than 20,000 elites of the Zhennan Army, which has formed a situation of encirclement in Zhongwang Mountain. ”

"The Zhennan Army deserves to be the elite. King Chen nodded slightly, slightly satisfied, and said: "The order is forbidden, it is not moving like a mountain, it is as fast as a strong wind, and the action is fast." ”

"Also. The man in black continued: "In the message, the Great Commander asks you for your order to slaughter the traitors in Zhongwangshan. ”

"The Decree of the King ......"

King Chen paused and said, "Hold off and continue to encircle." ”

When the man in black heard this, he saluted and said, "Yes." ”

King Chen said calmly: "I ordered you to check before, Zhuang Ming's two strong men under his command have been ambushed, and he himself grabbed a fast horse and escaped from Yaocheng, where did he go?"

The man in black hurriedly responded: "Just as Zhuang Ming escaped from Yaocheng, his subordinates ordered the masters around him who were good at tracking traces to check his whereabouts, but he did not report it for the time being. ”

King Chen said slowly: "Although Zhuang Ming's wisdom is high, and although the city government is heavy, but if he loses two strong martial arts powers, he is only a sick and weak body, and he is a crippled body, and he can't escape far." ”

The man in black replied: "As the prince said, he definitely can't escape." ”

Chen Wang nodded slightly.

Lord Zhao's expression was complicated, but he didn't speak.

It's just that his gaze fell on the few people who were kneeling on the ground in front of King Chen.

These people were the former managers of Zhuang's firm, and they were later rebelled by Song Tianyuan, and they were even instigated by Song Tianyuan to enter Zhuang's firm.

Later, he was found out by Zhuang's firm, verified the evidence, and sent to the government.

Lord Zhao originally wanted to punish these people heavily, but he didn't know that King Chen came to Huai'an to take office in a few days and transferred these people.

And now these people have been transferred out by King Chen, and they have a lot of courtesy.

Because these people are too familiar with the Zhuang firm, whether they want to investigate the Zhuang firm or forge the evidence in it, it will be of great use.

This time, in order to be more secure, King Chen also had to create evidence of Zhuang Ming's rebellion in the Zhuang firm.

"You have been in Zhuang's firm for many years, and you are quite familiar with Zhuang Ming, do you have any ideas and guess where he goes?"

King Chen's expression was cold, and he looked at the few people in charge.

The steward glanced at each other, only to see Steward Sun take a step forward.

"Lord Wang, Zhuang Ming is a resourceful and ruthless person, he destroyed the sacred object dedicated to the emperor this time, and assassinated you, and ordered his subordinates to openly resist the law and kill the court soldiers, knowing that he would definitely die. ”

And not long ago, the villa where he stayed in Zhongwang Mountain is also well known. ”

With his intelligence, he must have thought that the government would not only seize his business bank, but also send troops to encircle and suppress Zhongwangshan. ”

Speaking of this, Steward Sun hesitated, and Fang is continued: "According to the villain's speculation, this Zhuang Ming may not return to Zhongwang Mountain, but find another way and flee for his life. ”

Chen Wang nodded slightly, feeling reasonable.

Lord Zhao also thinks the same way.

The property of Chuang's firm is of course important.

But now for Zhuang's firm, this is a certain death.

Zhuang Ming is not a stupid person, he knows that he has no power to return to heaven, so it is impossible to accompany the funeral of Zhuang's firm.

As a superior, presumably Zhuang Ming will choose to give up his family business and save his life.

"The so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, with Zhuang Ming's city, must have more than one nest. ”

King Chen secretly said in his heart: "The Qianlong Villa in Zhongwang Mountain is only on the surface, but it may not be impossible to start from Zhongwang Mountain and find clues. ”

It was precisely because he considered that Zhuang Ming did not know where to go and wanted to look for clues from Zhongwang Mountain, so he only sent troops to surround him, and did not order the slaughter for the time being.

Besieged but not attacked, the people were panicked.

After a few moments, the hearts of the people were shattered.

There will be internal turmoil, and there will be people who want to sacrifice the villa to survive, and if they want to do many things, they will have no effort.

In addition to this, there is one more point, which is crucial.

Because in his eyes, the villa in Zhongwang Mountain has already belonged to him King Chen.

Therefore, it is better for the lodge to be unbreakable and intact.

——

Chungdingfu.

Outside of Yaocheng.

The scholar rubbed his eyebrows, looking distressed.

"Teacher ......"

“......”

"That Mr. Thirteen, he robbed the Divine Stone one step earlier, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? Let's chase it and see what happens. ”

"Aren't you always able to calculate the general trend?" the scholar was quite speechless, and said, "Why haven't you calculated such a variable?"

"The reason why a variable is a variable is because it can't see through it...... As a teacher, he couldn't see through this person, who knew that he could be so decisive and made up his mind to snatch it on the spot?"

Originally, the master and apprentice were already in ambush outside Yaocheng.

King Chen ordered people to escort the Divine Stone, and strictly protected them all the way, and when he arrived at Zhongding Mansion, he was considered to be a little relaxed.

Therefore, the master and apprentice, outside Yaocheng, have been arranged for more than two days, and there are many traps and traps, ready to create chaos when the divine stone is sent out of Yaocheng, and use the power of the bronze mirror to steal the divine stone while it is chaotic.

This opportunity is rare, the opportunity cannot be missed, and it will not come again.

King Chen has 50,000 Zhennan troops in his hands, and he has sent additional men to meet the Shenshi.

When the two armies converge, there is no hope of taking it.

How do you know that Zhuang Ming was killed in the sky?

"This man must have seen something different from the Divine Stone. ”

The voice in the bronze mirror was full of complexity, and said: "Speaking of which, it is rumored in Huai'an that this person is extremely deep in the city, and he plans and then acts, is cautious, and never gets involved in danger...... I never thought that when the opportunity came, he could really make a decision on the spot, without hesitation, if he didn't have such courage, the divine stone would belong to us. ”

The scholar hesitated: "Now go and see, if he is killed by King Chen, we may be able to take advantage of the chaos...... Finding Opportunity ......"

——

"Report! Lord Wang, I have found Zhuang Ming's whereabouts. ”

"Where is he?"

"Huai'an Fengcheng, Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa. ”

"What?"

In the audience, whether it was King Chen, Lord Zhao, or those in charge, they all felt stunned.

This Zhuang Ming, knowing that the imperial court would definitely send troops to Zhongwang Mountain, or did he return to Zhongwang Mountain?

Could it be that he knew that he had no life, and he was disheartened, so he simply gave up absconding and returned to Zhongwang Mountain to wait for death?

But this is not like Zhuang Ming's style of acting.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"Absolutely!"

"Good!"

King Chen's face showed murderous intent.

He didn't care what Zhuang Ming was for, and returned to the villa in Zhongwang Mountain to die.

But this time, he will definitely cut Zhuang Ming with a thousand knives!

"This king doesn't care why you want to destroy the gods, and it doesn't matter why you want to die. ”

"But since you are bent on death, this king will send you on your way. ”

——

Huai'an, Fengcheng.

Zhongwang Mountain, Qianlong Villa.

At sunset, Zhuang Ming returned here alone.

When everyone saw this, they felt incredible.

The son, who is usually dressed in white like snow and spotless, is dressed in messy clothes this time, covered in dust, and quite embarrassed.

Moreover, the two adults, Qianyang and Yin Ming, who had always followed Gongzi's side, did not follow.

Childe's face was extremely pale, but he just ordered to close the villa, and hurriedly ordered someone to help him back to the room, and ordered everyone not to disturb him, so far he has not appeared.

However, just one hour after Childe returned, an army began to gather at the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands, all of them elite soldiers.

"Under the mountain is the Zhennan Army. ”

Bai Qing's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "After the most elite army of the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an appeared at the foot of the mountain, it only took a quarter of an hour to surround the Qianlong Villa, and it has been nearly an hour, but there has been no movement. ”

There was a person next to him, and he said in a low voice: "Seeing this, Steward Zhou went down the mountain to explore the situation, and wanted to talk to the commander of the Zhennan Army and ask for clarification...... Less than thirty steps into the door, he was killed by an arrow, and the body was still there, unable to be retrieved. ”

Bai Qing's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "The person who came is not good." ”

The man next to him hesitated: "When Childe came back this time, he was not as calm as before, and he looked quite embarrassed, so he hurriedly returned to the room, and he has not come out so far." In addition, the two adults, Qianyang and Yin Ming, did not return with their son......"

Bai Qing took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "After the return of the son, within an hour, the Zhennan army surrounded the mountain, and the comers were not good. ”

Everyone around looked at each other.

They were all the people who were ordered by Zhuang Ming to intercept and kill the people of the government, loot the things of the government, burn the armory, and poison the war horses.

These days, they have all been recuperating in Qianlong Villa, apparently to meditate and recuperate.

In fact, there is inevitably a bit of a taste of grounding here in order to avoid news leaks.

"Judging from the current situation, could it be that it was the day that happened, and it has already happened?"

The young man hesitated just now: "The government has obtained evidence and sent troops to encircle and suppress us?"

With this sentence, he suddenly stopped talking.

The others around him also fell silent.

The atmosphere became extremely silent for a moment.

Bai Qing frowned, among the people present, he had the highest martial arts and the highest status.

He knew in his heart that the previous time he was ordered to do something rebellious, it showed that these people were all dead soldiers loyal to the Zhuang firm.

It's just that the last time I acted, after all, I did it secretly, and I had a son's plan, and I was ready to finish it, although I died for a lifetime, it was not without a way out.

And this time, the government army is pressing.

It's a lifeless situation.

Even if it is a dead man, it is not a dead man.

Between life and death, people's hearts are in turmoil.

At this moment, they are trapped in a certain death situation, and it is inevitable that they still have complicated thoughts in their hearts.
