Chapter 15 Outside the Palace and Inside the Palace
When Master Xinwu, Master Xinyuan, Daoist Chongxiao and Lu Mingya rushed outside the post house, Yu Zhaoxin, Zhong Wuregret, Chang Chunhe, Jiao Chunxi, Zhu Fuliu and Du Wenwu had already arrived.
In addition to Yu Zhaoxin, Zhong Wuregret, Chang Chunhe, Jiao Chunxi, Zhu Fuliu and Du Wenwu, there are also many people from the Six Gates, the Forbidden Army, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Division and the Shuntianfu people of the brigade.
No one dared to storm the inn.
The post house has become a sea of fire.
Standing a hundred steps away from the post house, you can still feel the heat wave. Heat waves brought by fire. A heat wave like fire.
Buckets of water were poured into the fire, and the fire not only did not weaken in the slightest, but turned the water into steam and returned to the air, making the surrounding air even hotter.
Under such a fire, as long as the people who remain in the post house, there is no reason to survive.
Count the fast horses and gallop to the end. Before the horse stopped, the man on horseback rolled off the horse. The first person is the crown prince of the dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the Prince!" Yu Zhaoxin and the others stepped forward together and fell to the ground. Shuntianfu Yin, who was kneeling in the crowd, trembled, and didn't know whether he was scared or anxious.
"How many are there?" asked the prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I can't be sure for the time being. But there should be no less. Yu Zhaoxin said stiffly.
"What about the guards on duty here?" the prince's voice sounded calm, but there was a faint smell of trembling.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when Xia Guan and the others arrived here, all the guards had already been killed. Yu Zhaoxin replied.
"Has the head of the envoys of the three lands escaped?" the prince asked. There was already a palpable tension in his voice.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the envoy of Dongying, has been killed. "There is no master of the heart.
"Has the master ever seen the murderer?" the prince's body shook slightly, stabilized his body, and asked urgently. Behind the prince, Yan Ruhai took a step forward, wanting to support the prince, but stopped again.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, when the two brothers rushed halfway, they only saw the body of the Dongying envoy. "Master Xinyuan said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the two poor Daoist brothers and the two masters rushed to the body of the Dongying envoy almost at the same time, and the murderer was not seen. Chong Xiao said long.
"The whole city is under martial law, and every effort is made to find the whereabouts of the other envoys and arrest the murderers. The prince took a deep breath and said calmly. At the time of chaos, he, the master of the East Palace, must not give people the slightest feeling of panic.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, all five cities have been under martial law. The officers and soldiers of the city and the masters of various departments are making every effort to find other envoys and arrest suspicious people. In the crowd, a man who looked like a military general said loudly. He is the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. His face had been blackened by the smoke and fire. He knew that after the catastrophe tonight, his official position would never be saved. He didn't even expect to save his head. He only hoped that the crown prince and his colleagues present would see that for the sake of his full command of firefighting and quelling the chaos, they would intercede for him in front of the Son of Heaven in the coming day, so that his family would not be implicated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must do your best to protect the safety of all the critical places in the capital and maintain the stability of the capital division. The murderers must not be allowed to take advantage of the situation. The prince continued.
"Weichen (the last general) takes the order!" replied the man kneeling in front of the prince.
"Yan Ruhai, quickly send someone to inform the princess, enter the palace with me, and meet my father. The prince said.
"Slave and maid take orders!" Yan Ruhai bowed, and immediately two people turned over and got on their horses and galloped towards the distance.
"Two masters, two Taoist masters, please ......," the prince said.
Before the prince's words fell, a long howl of extremely clear Yue sounded among the Beijing divisions. In the long whistle, it was all murder.
The faces of Master Wu Xin, Master of Wish, Daoist Chongxiao, and Lu Mingya changed at the same time.
"But Ouchi's direction?!Quick!" the prince's face also changed.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take a step to speak. "Lu Mingya can't care so much. He hurriedly walked to the prince's side, and with a wave of his sleeves, pushed the people around the prince away. Behind the crown prince, several people dressed in guard clothes resisted slightly, and Master Xinwu, Master Xinyuan, and Daoist Chongxiao had already stepped forward at the same time, each waving their sleeves and pushing everyone away.
After Lu Mingya whispered a few words beside the prince, the prince's face changed again.
"Quick, quick, master, master, quick, you go!" the prince said urgently.
As soon as the prince's voice fell, Master Xinwu and the other four people floated onto the roof at the same time, and swept away in the same direction.
"Amitabha!"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
As soon as Master Xinwu and the other four floated onto the roof, among the Jingshi, there was an extremely majestic and heavy sound of Buddha horns and Taoist trumpets. The sound of the Buddha's horn and the sound of the Tao are full of the wrath of the Buddha and the power of the Heavenly Venerable.
The Buddha name and the Tao number point to the same direction as the four people such as Master Xinwu.
In that direction, there is a place where the famous Jingshi is located, called Tianxiang Building.
On the ground, outside the fire in the post house, the prince had already turned over and mounted his horse, galloping in the direction of the palace.
......
In the middle of the Imperial Palace.
When the long whistle of Qingyue sounded, the Son of Heaven was slowly drinking a small bowl of white jade soup. In late autumn, when you are woken up in the middle of the night, a bowl of white jade soup can keep the dragon spirit of the Son of Heaven.
In front of the Son of Heaven, stood Zhou Huaili. Behind the Son of Heaven, an old eunuch stood. An old eunuch who is older than Dou Huaien. An old eunuch who was rotten and cold all over his body.
Hearing a long whistle, the Son of Heaven gently stirred the bowl twice with a spoon and stopped.
"Zhou Huaili, from now on, no one is allowed to enter the palace without being called, nor can he be invited to enter the palace. Go and preach the message. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Weichen takes orders!" Zhou Huaili replied with a bow, but did not move his steps.
"Let her go. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Weichen takes the order!" Zhou Huaili bowed again, then turned to leave.
"Are you sure it's her?" asked the Son of Heaven.
"Go back to Long Live Lord, the slave is sure. Behind the Son of Heaven, the old eunuch bowed and replied.
"How do you compare yourself to her?" said the Son of Heaven.
"Back to Long Live Lord, if it is a skill, the slave is not as good as her. The old eunuch said.
"What if it's a life-and-death fight?" said the Son of Heaven.
"Back to Long Live Lord, the life of the slave and maid is long live Lord's. The old eunuch said.
"You old dog, Dou Huaien was all brought by you. The Son of Heaven smiled.
"Long live the lord, the slave is guilty!" the old eunuch turned to the Son of Heaven and knelt on the ground.
"Get up. You are loyal, how can I not know?" said the Son of Heaven.
"Long live you!" the old eunuch stood up.
"Know the place?" asked the Son of Heaven.
"Hui Banzai, I know. The old eunuch said.
"My palace, my home. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Long live the slave, the slave is guilty!" the old eunuch knelt down again.
"Get up. With her methods, how can you find out if she has endured for so many years?" said the Son of Heaven.
"Long live the lord, do you want to be a slave or a maid...... the old eunuch knelt on the ground and said.
"No, I don't. Get up. Intended purpose. "The Son of Heaven said.
"The order is to the nine sides, from now on, to guard the country and enter a state of combat readiness. If provoked by a foreign enemy, fight back with all your might. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"Let Du Wenyuan send this will. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"The order of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Forbidden Army and the Shuntian Mansion will be under martial law and the whole city will be curfew. Martial law cannot be lifted until I will do so. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"This will be the middle of the will. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"Where is Yan Zhengyi?" asked the Son of Heaven.
"Back to Long Live Lord, Yan Zhengyi has passed the northwest and is coming to Beijing. If there is no accident, Yan Zhengyi should be able to reach the capital within ten days. The old eunuch said.
"What about the people of Kamui?" asked the Son of Heaven.
"Back to Long Live Lord, Shenwei has always been followed by someone in secret. The old eunuch said.
"What about Han Xuexin and Zhang Qinghou?" asked the Son of Heaven.
"Back to Long Live Lord, no trace of Han Xuexin and Zhang Qinghou has been found for the time being. However, it is speculated by the slave maid that according to the personalities of these two people, they should not be too far apart. The old eunuch said.
"Indeed, these two men are faithful and righteous. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Long live the slave, the slave should die!" the old eunuch pounced and fell to his knees again.
"Loyalty is loyalty, so why not say it?" said the Son of Heaven.
"Long live the slave, slave maid ......," the old eunuch said.
"Alright, get up. I have something for you to do. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yan Zhengyi can't enter the Beijing Division. "Wait until the old eunuch gets up, the Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"Han Xuexin and Zhang Qinghou need to be left to the prince. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Long live the lord, the slave is worried about ......," the old eunuch said.
"Aren't the people of Shenwei Castle just going to admit my mistake?" said the Son of Heaven.
"Hooray, lord......!" the old eunuch knelt down again.
"In this matter, you personally passed on the secret decree to Dou Huaien. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"How is Dugu Feiyun's injury?" the Son of Heaven asked.
"Back to Long Live Lord, according to Imperial Physician Chen's judgment, it will take at least a few days for Dugu Feiyun to wake up. The old eunuch said.
"Dugu's face, I left him some. This person, it is better not to wake up than to wake up. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"Tianxianglou is there, there is no need to stare at it in the future. Tell Zhou Huaili and let him withdraw the people. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said. His appearance stopped talking.
"Say it. "The Son of Heaven said.
"Back to Long Live Lord, the slave is worried that if something happens to Tianxianglou tonight, will she ......?" said the old eunuch.
"A few masters and Dao Masters are coming, what are you afraid of?" said the Son of Heaven with a smile.
"Back to Long Live Lord, the slave maid is worried about ......," the old eunuch said.
"No more talk. She can even come and go freely in my palace, can't she keep a Tianxiang Tower?" said the Son of Heaven.
"Yes, Hooray. The old eunuch said.
"Sure, how many are there now?" asked the Son of Heaven.
"Back to Long Live Lord, the slaves and maids are incompetent, there are only two. The old eunuch said.
"There's no hurry. They're not in a hurry, so what are you anxious about? The Son of Heaven smiled.
