Zhao Heng saw the forbidden army surrounded by the forbidden army upstairs, and although the martial arts masters who pretended to be ordinary people had light skills, they couldn't jump out of the shield wall formed by the forbidden army.

Zhao Heng knew that the overall situation had been decided, so he hurriedly went downstairs. Duan Gang didn't dare to slack off, so he had to pinch Yun Lu's shoulder with one hand, grab Chen Ao's collar with the other, and follow behind Zhao Heng with the two of them.

Chen Ao was pulled like this, and his dislocated arm was extremely painful. He couldn't help but snort loudly. Duan Gang's heart was as strong as iron, and he ignored it completely. Yun Lu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she couldn't help but glance at Chen Ao, and saw that Chen Ao was covered with blood on one side, dislocated on the other, and his arm was hanging softly, looking very pitiful.

Yunlu wanted to die with Zhao Heng upstairs, but was stopped by Chen Ao. At that moment, she gave up, knowing that her revenge could no longer be avenged. Murong Ao's people are just suspicious soldiers, if they are in Qunfang Courtyard, they may be able to kill Zhao Heng. But in the Imperial City, it is simply impossible. Yun Lu knew that if she couldn't kill Zhao Heng, it meant that the whole operation was a complete failure. The revenge can no longer be avenged, and he will soon face death.

By this time, Yunlu had calmed down. She looked at Chen Ao without a trace of resentment in her heart. She knew that Chen Ao hadn't actually done anything wrong. On the contrary, Chen Ao is really pitiful. It was obviously a meritorious rescue, but Duan Gang regarded him as an assassin and removed his arm. And he, the real assassin, is intact. In fact, he blamed himself for being stupid, just humming and chirping, but he didn't know how to explain to Zhao Heng quickly. As long as he told him what he had just done, wouldn't Zhao Heng let him go immediately?

Yun Lu thought so in her heart and couldn't help but sigh. She seemed to vaguely guess the reason why Chen Ao kept silent, but she couldn't believe that Chen Ao, who was "cowardly and incompetent", would still want to protect her at this time.

Yunlu whispered, "I'm sorry......"

Chen Ao heard it in his ears, but he didn't have the heart to respond, he just snorted twice in pain. Zhao Heng seemed to be a little impatient when he heard his moaning, and turned around and said, "Throw the two of them to the Chengde Palace!"

Duan Gang had no choice but to obey the order and escorted the two of them to the Chengde Palace. Zhao Heng went straight to the encirclement of the forbidden army.

After a brief period of commotion in Miyagi, it had subsided at the moment. When the emperor appeared, a little eunuch immediately started a guard of honor. The commander of the forbidden army in charge of the command in the open space was a deputy general, and when he saw the emperor's honor guard, he hurriedly knelt down.

Zhao Heng waved his hand and said, "Let's move slowly, leave a living mouth!"

The forbidden army pressed forward step by step, besieging those dozens of masters in a group. When a round of crossbow arrows came down, they had no way to dodge, and more than a dozen people were killed in an instant. The rest hid behind the corpses of their companions, fearing that a second round of crossbow arrows would kill them.

Zhao Heng gave an order, and the deputy general did not dare to disobey, so he hurriedly ordered to stop shooting arrows, and the shield array stepped forward. The forbidden army continued to move forward with a strong shield, pressing the encirclement smaller and smaller. Those killers had no martial arts, but they couldn't help the shield array, they were squeezed on all sides, and they didn't even have room to flicker and move. Suddenly a series of rope buckles were thrown from behind the steel shield, effortlessly lassosing the immobile assassins, and quickly tying the gang up tightly.

Zhao Heng saw that the situation had been decided, and said to the little eunuch beside him: "Go and call me Huo Wantong, the commander of the palace guard forbidden army, and Fang Baishi, the Imperial City Division!

The little eunuch saw that Zhao Heng's face was gloomy and pale, how could he dare to slack off?

Zhao Heng stood in place and pondered for a moment, his eyes saw the dead bodies all over the ground, he was deeply disgusted, and walked towards the Chengde Hall without saying a word.

The Chengde Hall was the palace where he rested in the next dynasty, and sometimes he would meet with ministers here to discuss state affairs. Yun Lu and Chen Ao had already been brought here beforehand. Duan Gang still has the same attitude, he is not worried about Yunlu, a weak woman, but he is very jealous of Chen Ao. He first connected Chen Ao's arm, but then found a rope to tie Chen Ao's hands behind his back.

Several people waited in the empty palace. After a while, I saw Zhao Heng walking into the palace door with a gloomy face. He stood at the door and said to the eunuch and palace maid who followed him: "You are waiting at the door!"

These people couldn't wait to stay away from the angry Zhao Heng, and when they heard this, they all retreated to the porch and stood. Zhao Heng entered the door at this time, and when he saw Yun Lu and Chen Ao at a glance, the expression on his face changed several times. I thought he was going to say something, but Zhao Heng didn't say a word to them, and directly said to Duan Gang: "Let them go to the back first!"

As he spoke, he pointed behind the curtain of the pillar. Although Duan Gang was puzzled, he didn't say much, and escorted Yun Lu and Chen Ao behind the curtain. In this way, they are not visible from the center of the palace.

Originally, I was worried that the two would shout and say something. Who knew that both of them were very quiet. Yunlu is heart like a tree and doesn't want to speak. And Chen Ao didn't know what to say. He couldn't admit his plan to break into the palace to save Zhao Ling, and he didn't want to explain to Zhao Heng that it was Yunlu who wanted to kill him, and it had nothing to do with him. Wouldn't that be too spineless? Even I would dislike myself.

After a short time, I only heard the sound of heavy footsteps and stepped into the Chengde Palace. Then a thick voice sounded: "Minister Huo Wantong knocks to see Your Majesty!"

Huo Wantong was the commander of the forbidden army guarding the palace, and he arrived first. Zhao Heng scolded Huo Wantong with his head and face. This Huo Wantong also heard about today's incident, and knew that the forbidden army under his command was actually slow to react, and let a group of martial arts masters in. Such a great crime, even if he is cut down, it is not too much. Therefore, in the face of Zhao Heng's scolding, he didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only bear it resignedly.

Zhao Heng scolded for a while, and finally sighed, and even comforted him with gentle words, and instructed Huo Wantong to clean up the forbidden army and strengthen training. When Huo Wantong heard this, he saw that the emperor had no intention of killing him, not only did he not kill him, but he didn't even punish him. Huo Wantong couldn't help but be grateful, knocked his head a few times, and went with a thousand thanks.

Not long after Huo Wantong left, Fang Baishi of the Imperial City Division came. As soon as Zhao Heng saw him, his face became even more gloomy. Fang Baishi had also heard about what happened today, and he was uneasy in his heart, and when he saw Zhao Heng's face, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhao Heng slapped the table and said angrily: "Fang Baishi, I handed over the Imperial City Division to you, that's how you did it?"

Fang Baishi responded again and again. He is also an old minister of the former dynasty, and Zhao Heng has never rebuked him so harshly.

Just as he was scolding, Kou Zhun and the privy envoy Lu Qin rushed together. Seeing that Zhao Heng was getting angry, the two stood aside and remained silent.

Zhao Heng said again: "Fang Baishi, who is the person who set fire to the city today?"

Fang Baishi naturally knew nothing. Chen Ao's actions, although they have long been detected by Liu Dongquan. But Liu Dongquan had ulterior motives, so naturally he did not report to Fang Baishi. And Murong Ao's actions were even more secretive, and Fang Baishi was even more unlikely to know.

He was dripping in a cold sweat and silent. Zhao Heng asked again: "What is the origin of the bandits who attacked the imperial city, do you know?"

Fang Baishi still shook his head. Zhao Heng was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted, "I really don't know what your Imperial City Division does all day long!"

Kou Zhun stood aside and couldn't help but wonder a little. He knew from Liu Dongquan that Chen Ao planned to break into the palace today to save Zhao Ling. So today's turmoil, the main instigator is naturally Chen Ao. I heard that Chen Ao had entered the palace, so he naturally wanted to be inside and out. If Chen Ao took action, it would never be possible to hide it from the eyes of the Ouchi guards, but why didn't the official family mention Chen Ao?

Kou Zhun was a little unsure whether he should report it bluntly, so he saw that Zhao Heng's gaze had already looked over. 21010
