Chapter 478: Sudden realization
Han Bing explained the situation of the two bloody cases in the Loyalty League one after another today, as well as the results of his and Luo'er's investigation, to his uncle and Song Qingfeng.
After listening to his words, Song Qingfeng's opinion was not as optimistic as he was at all.
The commander of the forbidden army frowned slightly and said, "Zheng Yong has really been planning for a long time, and as soon as Fang made a move, he had already gained the upper hand!"
Due to Han Bing's deliberate concealment all along, Hua Fengshan did not fully understand what was happening outside. Therefore, he didn't understand for a while what kind of terrible consequences the two bloody cases that Han Bing was talking about.
Hearing Song Qingfeng's solemn tone when he spoke at this moment, this flower doctor naturally realized the seriousness of the situation, so he hurriedly asked, "How can Commander Song say this?"
"Uncle, in fact, there is nothing new about Zheng Yong's hand, let alone how powerful-"
Han Bing suddenly grabbed the words, wanting to explain to Hua Fengshan euphemistically to dispel his worries.
Who knew that Song Qingfeng didn't understand Han Bing's intentions at all, and thought that this kid would inevitably have a heart of despising the enemy by relying on his strong martial arts.
So, he immediately frowned, and unceremoniously snatched the words over.
In my opinion, Zheng Yong's creation of these two bloody cases at this time can really be described as killing three birds with one stone.
First, through these two bloody cases, he has successfully provoked contradictions within the Loyalty and Righteousness League, thus intensifying the confrontation between those henchmen who were originally loyal to Zuo Yusong and the leader of the Snow Alliance.
Second, these two bloody cases will also involve Han Bing, and even lead the spearhead of the Loyalty Alliance to Han Bing in the end.
Thirdly, Zheng Yong should also intend to use this incident to cause chaos in the capital, and direct people's attention, mainly the Loyalty Alliance and Han Bing, to these two bloody cases. He could then take the opportunity to collude with the northerners to lure the assassins into the palace and assassinate His Majesty the Emperor.
However, fortunately, Liao Jingdong found Wu Yuan's body in time and covered up this matter well, so that Zheng Yong's goal of creating chaos was not achieved. β
"But in any case, the two goals in front of him have been achieved!"
Hua Fengshan immediately took Song Qingfeng's words, and his eyebrows were unconsciously wrinkled together, "Now not only is the situation of the Snow Alliance Lord more difficult, but even the situation of the cold ice is more dangerous. Once the truth that the cold ice is the parting arrow is revealed, it will be an unimaginably complicated situation!"
Taking advantage of Hua Fengshan's words, Han Bing secretly glared at Song Qingfeng, and then smiled lightly: "Uncle, please rest assured." Zheng Yong, no matter how cunning he is, he can't force me to cast a parting arrow in public. As long as I can't prove this, no matter how much doubt I have, I can't help it!"
was glared at by the cold ice, and Song Qingfeng realized his mistake.
In addition to regretting it, he hurriedly echoed Han Bing's words on the side: "This statement is indeed reasonable! With Han Bing's current skills, I am afraid that no one in this world can match him, and there is no need to worry about being forced to reveal the identity of his parting arrow." β
Speaking of this, Song Qingfeng's gaze inadvertently swept over the vase on the table beside him.
Seeing the few blooming red plums in the bottle, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and continued: "Even if that Beirong's Chiyang Sect Master is smiling alone, with a few simple plum folding hands, the cold ice is enough to send him away." β
Hua Fengshan didn't know why, and when the two of them sang and harmonized like this, he thought that the problem was not so serious that it could not be solved, at least it was not out of the control of the cold ice.
He finally nodded reassuringly, and then turned his gaze to the bottle of plum branches, but his face couldn't help but sink slightly, and said, "Han Bing, don't pick the plum blossoms in this dark fragrance garden in the future." As soon as I saw them, I couldn't help but think of that vicious woman!"
The cold starry eyes blinked, and suddenly showed a sudden look, and said, "Uncle, are you saying that the plum blossoms in the Dark Fragrance Garden were planted by the Empress Yan back then?"
Hua Fengshan nodded silently.
Han Bing stared thoughtfully at the plum blossoms, and the thought that had flashed in the Dark Fragrance Garden couldn't help but pop up again......
At this moment, there was a sudden report outside the door, the abbot of Jishi Temple Huinian sent someone to send a message, the guest who was in the temple to cultivate the condition has recurred, please ask the flower doctor to go to the clinic tomorrow again.
When Hua Fengshan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh silently, and at the same time, a trace of sadness faintly flashed on his face.
Han Bing immediately noticed this and asked softly, "Uncle, is there anything wrong with that guest's condition?"
Hua Fengshan said with a gloomy expression: "Everything in the world is impermanent, it is all determined by heaven! That Empress Yan's last fatal blow has really completely crushed him, and now he is just lingering." β
Song Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh and said, "I also heard my father talk about it. At that time, Empress Yan and her henchmen had been secretly detained, but I really couldn't imagine that she still had the means to pass on the order to poison the prince to Feng Yan, the Tianxiang Sect Leader hidden in the palaceββ"
"Empress Yan...... Tianxiang Sect Leader Feng Yan ......"
Han Bing suddenly muttered a sentence, and then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I know where that secret passage is!
When Song Qingfeng heard this, he suddenly realized, and said, "That's right! Tianxiang Sect Leader Feng Yan was originally King Ji's person, and she was probably the liaison between Empress Yan in the palace and King Ji outside the palace before.
And the way she used to transmit the message should be a secret passage between Shoukang Palace and Jiwang Mansion.
Now that the Shoukang Palace and the Jiwang Mansion have been closed, this is just convenient for her to enter and exit at will without worrying about being discovered. β
Hua Fengshan couldn't help but ask: "If this secret passage really exists, when King Ji rebelled, why didn't those Yan soldiers directly enter the palace through the secret passage, but they had to attack the palace gate guarded by heavy troops outside?"
Song Qingfeng immediately explained: "The number of people who can enter the palace through the secret passage is very limited. And if those Yan soldiers were allowed in during the day, they would definitely be discovered quickly. Whether in terms of numbers or combat power, they could never be the opponent of the five thousand guards in the palace.
Therefore, Empress Yan should have planned to let some highly skilled people sneak into the palace through the secret passage at night, and take advantage of the cover of night to sneak attack the guards guarding the palace gate. Then open the palace gate and let the Yan soldiers outside in.
It's just that what Queen Yan didn't expect was that as soon as the news of King Ji's rebellion reached the palace, her father immediately ordered someone to take down all her and her henchmen, so that they had no chance to open the secret passage and let people in. β
Hua Fengshan nodded, feeling that Song Qingfeng's explanation sounded reasonable, and it would not be too different from the situation at that time.
At this time, Han Bing continued: "It turns out that I was wrong from the beginning, and I always thought that there was a secret passage leading directly from outside the city to the palace. In reality, there are two secret passages.
One is used to connect the outside of the castle with the inside of the castle, and the other is used to connect the castle with the palace. In this way, it was possible to connect the outside of the castle with the inside of the palace completely.
And all along, Feng Yan and Zheng Yong have been communicating through this secret passage connecting the palace and the outside of the palace. β
Song Qingfeng hurriedly stood up, and said in a slightly hurried tone: "I'll take someone to the Jiwang Mansion to search for the exit of that secret passage, maybe I can catch Zheng Yong hiding there!"
"No, Brother Song doesn't have to rush to action first!"
Han Bing immediately stopped him with words, "With Zheng Yong's caution, he won't hide in that kind of place where we might guess." After all, he had colluded with King Ji, so King Ji's Mansion was not a real safe place for him.
And the biggest possibility is that he will send someone to monitor the Jiwang Mansion at all times to ensure that the secret passage has not been discovered, and at the same time, he can exchange news with Feng Yan from there.
If we go to search the Jiwang Mansion at this time, we will definitely startle the snake and make Zheng Yong give up this secret passage. However, we cannot guarantee that he will have no other way to send the Beijon Assassin into the palace. β
Hearing what Han Bing said reasonably, Song Qingfeng sat down slowly, frowned and said, "Since you can't startle the snake, in addition to the exit of the Jiwang Mansion, the exit in the Shoukang Palace naturally can't be alarmed." Because at present, no one knows whether there are other Zheng Yong's henchmen in the palace besides Feng Yan. β
And so it is. β
Han Bing's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and a touch of worry flashed on his face, "And I always have a feeling that Feng Yan probably didn't escape, but has been hiding in the palace." β
When Song Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, thought about it, and then said, "Maybe your feelings are not wrong." After the Yan family was completely eradicated, Feng Yan still risked staying in the palace, her purpose must not be simple, and she will not give up easily. β
Han Bing said helplessly: "But now that the situation is tense, I don't have time to search for this mysterious Tianxiang Sect Master." However, I have already reminded Zhu Mo that during this extraordinary period, not a single palace person in the Funing Palace can be left at night. β
"That's a good idea!"
Song Qingfeng immediately nodded approvingly, "Even if Feng Yan is still in the palace, there shouldn't be any chance to start." If we send someone to monitor Shoukang Palace, maybe we can still find traces of this Tianxiang Sect Master. β
"It's a possibility. In addition, we can also make good use of this secret passage, change the passive to the active, and catch the opponent off guard.
According to my estimate, Duxiao Qiong should have already arrived in Jingyang, and no matter what, he would not give up the so-called 'stabbing cold' plan.
Therefore, even if the secret passage they used to enter the palace is discovered and closed by us, Zheng Yong will definitely find another way and continue to create trouble to disrupt our vision and find a better opportunity for his final action.
For us, instead of passively blocking everywhere and seeing the moves, it is better to respond to all changes with the same, wait for the rabbit, and let the opponent throw himself into the net. β
"What do you already have in mind?"
As soon as he saw the familiar treacherous look on the face of this kid Han Bing, Song Qingfeng knew that he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.
Sure enough, at his question, the cold starry eyes flashed, and a sly smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "The plan is there, but it still needs the cooperation of you, the commander." β
Song Qingfeng couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head with a smile, knowing that this time, he would inevitably be calculated by this cunning stinky boy.
