Chapter 470: But it's true
"The most important thing at the moment is not to find Feng Yan, but to find out if there is another secret passage. Otherwise, whether it is Feng Yan or the Beirong Assassin, they can enter the palace through the secret passage at any time. ”
The icy and bright eyes were still staring at the temples that seemed unusually silent in the cold winter night, and there was a little more solemnity in his voice.
Zhu Mo immediately said quite approvingly: "What the eldest prince said is indeed reasonable! It's just that there are thousands of palace rooms in this palace, and if you want to find a secret passage that is deliberately hidden, I'm afraid it will take at least ten days." ”
"Not bad. Therefore, the most feasible way is to take the Funing Hall where His Majesty the Emperor lives as the center and search outward one by one. ”
After thinking about it, Han Bing added in a deep voice: "In addition, it is more appropriate to search for the secret passage during the day. Because Assassins are more likely to appear at night, it is important to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos. ”
Zhu Mo's thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he said with some hesitation: "If the secret passage is in the Funing Palace, then tonight-"
"No, it won't!"
Han Bing smiled and shook his head, "I have searched carefully for this Funing Hall and the Yuxiu Palace next to it, except for the one leading to Jishi Temple, there is absolutely no other secret passage." ”
Zhu Mo was silent for a moment, then laughed sharply and said, "With the eldest prince sitting here, we really don't need to bother so much!"
Han Bing didn't look at the look on his face, he just sighed lightly and said, "The one that Commander Zhu is guarding is His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu. And the people I am guarding are my loved ones!"
Hearing him say this, the awkward feeling in Zhu Mo's heart that he was being overstepped disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"The eldest prince, Zhu-"
Han Bing waved his hand slightly, interrupting Zhu Mo's words, "Commander Zhu still uses his previous name, call me Han Bing." ”
Immediately, he changed the topic and said: "Although Yuxiu Palace is adjacent to Funing Palace, after all, there are several palace walls and a laneway in the middle. Once the Assassins attacked, the guards would have to be split apart, fearing that one would be at the expense of the other. I wonder what Commander Zhu can do?"
Zhu Mo naturally understood what Han Bing meant, but he shook his head a little helplessly and sighed, and said, "Zhu Mou did suggest to His Majesty the Emperor that the little prince should temporarily move to the Funing Palace.
However, after consulting with the Empress, His Majesty the Emperor thought that the target of those Beirong assassins was only His Majesty the Emperor, so it would be relatively safe to let the little prince continue to stay in Yuxiu Palace. ”
Han Bing was silent for a while and did not speak.
Of course, he could understand the thoughts of the father and his wife.
Parents, of course, instinctively keep their children under their wings.
However, when they realize that the danger is only coming to them, they certainly want their children to stay in a place away from the danger so that they will not be affected.
In fact, even Han Bing is currently uncertain whether Seyu will be the target of the enemy's attack. Therefore, he didn't know which one was safer for Shiyu, Yuxiu Palace or Funing Palace.
Now that Shiyu's parents have made a choice about this, then he, the so-called half-brother, seems to have no position to put a beak.
He smiled a little self-deprecatingly, but his eyes turned to the direction of Yuxiu Palace, and he remembered Shiyu's big black eyes again, and asked himself with a serious face-
Brother, didn't you say that you will always be my brother, but why don't you think of yourself as my family?
Family——
Yes, Shiyu will always be his family. So no matter what, he won't let Shiyu get hurt in any way.
"Boy Han Bing, are you sure that Duxiao Dome is also here this time?" Zhu Mo suddenly asked in a muffled voice.
Han Bing glanced at him, nodded affirmatively, and said, "He's coming!" because he had to.
This so-called 'stinging plan' is not a willful move that Yu Wengang came up with on a whim. It can be said that both His Majesty the Emperor of Beirong and the Empress Dowager Yin are determined to succeed in this assassination.
And to ensure the success of this plan, Duxiaoqiong, the first master of Beirong, must participate in it.
Moreover, this Chiyang Sect Master has a lot of respect for Gongyu Sarong, and he definitely doesn't want to let his beloved disciple come to Dayu to die in vain, and at the same time, it is also to make the Chiyang Sect lose the most ideal heir from now on. ”
When Zhu Mo heard this, his thick eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Seeing this, Han Bing's mind immediately changed, and he suddenly remembered something that his uncle Haoxing Mingrui had mentioned.
More than 20 years ago, Duxiaoqiong led dozens of Beirong masters to assassinate His Majesty Haoxing Xiaoqi, the emperor of Dayu at that time.
As a result, the assassination attempt ended in failure. With the exception of the Laughing Dome, all the Assassins were ambushed.
But in this battle, Zhu Mo's father, the commander of the Ouchi guard at the time, was seriously injured and almost died at the hands of Duxiaoqiong.
"I've fought Duxiao Qiong a few times. And every time he fights, his martial arts are much better than the last time. This is most likely related to the wedding dress he practiced. ”
Han Bing said as he looked at Zhu Mo with deep meaning, "The Wedding Dress Skill is an evil skill, and it is specialized in absorbing the internal strength of other practitioners to improve one's cultivation. Therefore, Duxiao Dome can increase his power for decades at any time.
This time, if I had to fight him, I wouldn't have been able to take care of anything else. When the time comes, it is still necessary for Commander Zhu to control the overall situation and protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor's family!"
Zhu Mo was shocked when he heard this, and immediately realized that Han Bing should have seen that he wanted to fight with Duxiaoqiong, so he reminded himself not to forget the responsibility he shouldered as the commander of the Ouchi guard.
He stared at the cold ice for a long time, and finally nodded silently.
Then he stood up and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he walked out two steps, he suddenly turned around, looked at Han Bing with blazing eyes, and asked, "That rumor...... But really?"
Han Bing knew that this was the real reason why Zhu Mo found him tonight.
At the beginning, the three cups of poisonous wine mixed with the Heavenly Poison were personally sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion by the Lord in front of him, and he personally accompanied Han Bing to drink them.
If Han Bing was really a hermit, drinking three cups of poisoned wine would be enough to kill.
Zhu Mo must have been convinced of this in the past. However, those rumors still caused a trace of doubt in his heart, and it caused great trouble.
Although he didn't want to believe it, he couldn't help but want to know the truth.
Seeing the look of entanglement and contradiction on Zhu Mo's face, Han Bing couldn't help but smile, and asked indifferently: "Aren't I still sitting in front of you, the Commander, at this moment?"
Zhu Mo was silent for a long time, and then couldn't help asking, "Then what is the purpose of Zheng Yong deliberately spreading this rumor?"
"The traitor's purpose is only one, that is, to provoke a contradiction between the Loyal Alliance and me. Once the contradictions between us intensify, or even conflict, then no one has time to think about other things. In this way, Zheng Yong can fish in troubled waters, and the Beirong assassins will also take advantage of the chaos to break into the palace and assassinate His Majesty the Emperor. ”
When Zhu Mo heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a rare smile appeared on his face that had been tense, "It's a pity that no matter how good that traitor is, he is definitely not the opponent of the cold ice prince!"
Han Binglang laughed and said, "When did the traitorous eunuch beat Commander Zhu?"
Zhu Mo couldn't help laughing, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the Kui Wei who disappeared into the darkness, the smile on Han Bing's face slowly condensed on his lips.
Although he knew what the purpose of Zheng Yong's move was, he had not yet figured out what the next step of this traitorous eunuch would be, so that he could achieve his ultimate goal step by step - to force him into a dead end.
