Chapter 422: Seeking Far Away
In the Wenshi Xuan of Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Yin sat on the comfortable phoenix chair, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at Zheng Yong, who was kneeling in front of her at the moment, the former head of the inner house from Yuguo.
After a while, she slowly asked, "Do you have any evidence for what you just said?"
When Zheng Yong heard this, he immediately took out a palm-sized bag from his arms, raised it above his head with both hands, and said, "In this bag, there are all the detailed records of the villain's investigation of this matter. It included the time, the number of people, the names of the leaders and a sketch showing the general direction of the gorge. Please take a look at the Queen Mother!"
"Bring it in!"
Hearing the order, Zheng Yong hurriedly stood up, took a few steps forward, and carefully presented the bag in his hand to the Empress Dowager Yin.
The Empress Dowager Yin stretched out her hand to take it, but did not immediately open it to check the contents, but casually put it on the table next to her.
Seeing that Zheng Yong automatically retreated to his original place very obediently, and knelt down again, the Queen Mother's lips couldn't help but pass a slightly contemptuous smile.
After coughing lightly, she said in a casual voice: "Although Chief Zheng is still a native of Yuguo, as far as this palace knows, you have already had the heart to take refuge in my Darong."
The news you have brought today is not only very wide-ranging, but also related to my Emperor Majesty. And you deliberately bypassed the emperor and interviewed the palace alone. Could it be that you just want to use such a peculiar way to show your allegiance to this palace?"
"The Queen Mother Shengming! The villain is indeed loyal to the Queen Mother!"
Zheng Yong fell to the ground and kowtowed several times in a row.
The Empress Dowager Yin smiled noncommittally and said, "I'm afraid this is not the real purpose of your coming to see me." It doesn't matter to you, whoever you are loyal to. The only important thing is to be able to help you avenge the murder of your son!"
Zheng Yong knelt there and was speechless for a long time.
Then, he suddenly raised his head, looked directly at the Empress Dowager Yin, and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is right! The villain's only wish in this life is to kill the Leng father and son and avenge my child Zhao Zhan!"
This private wish of the villain is incomparable with the Queen Mother's grand ambition to dominate the world, but it is not contrary. As long as the Queen Mother can help the villain achieve this wish, the villain will obey the Queen Mother's dispatch and repay the great kindness!"
"If it comes to wanting to kill the Leng family's father and son, I'm afraid the emperor should be more urgent than this palace. And you are the father-in-law of the Gongyu General Division, so you are closer to him, the confidant of His Majesty the Emperorβ"
Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Yin's eyes were firmly fixed on Zheng Yong's face, and a pair of seemingly dim old eyes flashed with an unpredictable light, "But why do you have to go near and far, and do not hesitate to betray the emperor's secret to the palace in order to ask for so-called help?"
Zheng Yong couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Queen Mother's words have already been said to the point! That Gongyu Sassa Yan is a capricious and gutless rat." And His Majesty the Emperor of your country would actually lead a useless person like him as a confidant.
Forgive the villain for daring to say a big disrespectful word, which is enough to show that His Majesty the Emperor is really a little ignorant and short-sighted.
Although the villain has fallen so far, he can also see it clearly, and he knows who is in charge of this Darong court!"
Although the Empress Dowager Yin did not speak, there was already a faint smile on her lips.
With Zheng Yong's ability to observe faces and emotions and figure out his intentions, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly went straight to the point, and deliberately raised his voice a little and said: "What's more, such a major event like this to capture the prince of Yuguo, without the approval of the Queen Mother, it will be difficult to succeed!"
"Capture Ice?"
Empress Dowager Yin's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, and she immediately asked in a deep voice: "Is Manager Zheng saying that Han Bing is still in Darong?"
And I suspect that he is not only in Darong, but also in this new capital!"
Although he was not completely convinced, Zheng Yong's tone had revealed an unquestionable confidence.
Empress Dowager Yin unconsciously leaned forward slightly, obviously very interested in his words.
"Oh, tell me, why are you so sure?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, in the battle of Changjie in the south of the city yesterday, Gu Ning, the deputy leader of the Loyal and Righteous League, was hit by the two red sun palms of the sole sect leader, and was seriously injured, and was rescued by Han Bing, who arrived later. However, with Gu Ning's injury, it is difficult to support him until he returns to Yuguo.
Therefore, according to the villain's speculation, Han Bing is likely to leave Gu Ning in the city and find someone to heal him. But even if there is a good wound medicine, it is impossible to receive the effect of resurrection in a short period of time.
Therefore, the most feasible way to cure it is to have an internal master who uses internal force to protect Gu Ning's heart and keep him breathing. And the master of the inner family with such skills is by no means easy to find, and he should only be able to save his cold ice. β
Hearing Zheng Yong say this, the Empress Dowager Yin couldn't help but nod slowly, and said, "What Manager Zheng said is indeed not unreasonable. Since Han Bing took the risk to save Gu Ning, he must not turn his head and abandon him who was seriously injured. β
Zheng Yong hurriedly echoed: "The Queen Mother is wise! And as far as the villain knows, Han Bing came to Darong this time because he was sent by his father Leng Yiqing, specifically to create chaos in the new capital, provoke trouble, and intend to interfere with the situation of the Darong Dynasty in order to stop the pace of Darong's iron cavalry southward.
And Han Bing's helpers are the hidden people and the secret spies of the Loyal Alliance hidden in the new capital.
It is for this reason that he will spare no effort to rescue the captured spies of the Loyal Alliance. Of course, he wouldn't let him die to see Gu Ning, the deputy leader of the Loyal Alliance. β
"Well, it seems that the ice is still in the city. β
Empress Dowager Yin nodded slowly again, and after a pause, she suddenly asked again, "Manager Zheng, in your opinion, will Gongyu Sayan also be Han Bing's accomplice?"
When Zheng Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, his little eyes blinked for a long time, and he didn't understand where the old ancestor of the Queen Mother came from to get such an almost ridiculous opinion.
But with his shrewdness and cunning, he naturally would not deny it directly, which made this Yin Queen Mother, who was extremely important to him, feel any unhappiness.
So, after a pause, he said very tactfully: "If it hadn't been mentioned by the Queen Mother, the villain would never have thought about it." It's just that when he was in Yuguo, Gongyu Sayan was indeed an enemy of Han Bing, and the two were already on the same footing.
But as the villain said before, Gongyu Sayan is a capricious gutless rat, short-sighted, and eager for quick success.
With his cunning and resourcefulness, he would not regard a trustworthy and unrighteous person like him as an accomplice, but he would not hesitate to play with him and use it to do things for himself.
And yesterday's battle of Tianqiao should have been a huge chaos created by Han Bing taking advantage of Gongyu Yan's stupidity and ambition.
In this regard, even if Gongyu Sayan himself does not have any heart to help Han Bing, in fact, he has become a pawn in Han Bing's hands, and he has undoubtedly played an accomplice!"
"Hmm-"
Although the Empress Dowager Yin didn't say anything more, the expression on her face had already revealed that her old man was quite satisfied with Zheng Yong's explanation.
"Get up and talk!"
"Empress Dowager Xie!"
Zheng Yong stood up from the ground, but still hung his head slightly, making a cautious and extremely deferential appearance.
Seeing that he knew how to advance and retreat, the Empress Dowager Yin couldn't help but become more and more satisfied, and her tone was much more relaxed.
"This palace knows that Manager Zheng is extremely concerned about that cold ice, and naturally knows his style of acting quite well. In your opinion, what should be done to ensure that this prince of Yuguo is caught, or that he is simply killed?"
Hearing this question from the Empress Dowager Yin, Zheng Yongdang realized that the Empress Dowager's ancestor had obviously expressed a certain degree of trust in himself.
As long as you have the trust of the Queen Mother, it can be said that it will be easy to capture Han Bing!
Thinking that his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, an extremely terrifying chrysanthemum suddenly bloomed on the old eunuch's shriveled and thin face.
