Chi Zhongtian smiled faintly and said, "I recognized a person, that person is a person from the palace, it is Xu Huoyang."

"Huoyang?" Jin Chi muttered in surprise, as if he was a little reluctant to believe it.

"Master Chi Zhuang, are you mistaken?" Guo Heyang asked.

"No, I've seen him several times in the palace, and I can't be mistaken. Chi Zhongtian replied affirmatively.

"If it's really Huoyang, then things are really a little bad, it looks like the emperor has set his sights on me. Jin Chi's tone, I don't know what it felt, didn't seem to be very worried.

"Master, it is inevitable that the emperor will target us, in this place in the capital, if we can organize so many people who know martial arts, then we must be the most suspicious. Guo Heyang replied.

"It's okay, don't care about him, just act as if nothing happened, besides, you can't stay with me, nephew, if you are discovered, you will be in trouble. ”

After Jin Chi finished speaking, Chi Zhongtian immediately nodded and said, "What do I think, I'll leave quietly after a while, and I won't let them find out." ”

"Okay, Heyang, after dawn, you will immediately find Fan Darthead. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Chi Zhongtian also knew that he couldn't stay in this place for long, so after dawn, he left quietly without anyone noticing.

It was almost time after breakfast, Xu Huoyang and Long Yun returned to the palace at the same time.

The two of them didn't make an appointment with Haode in advance, they just happened to meet, and the two thought that it was the same thing anyway, so they went to meet the emperor together.

The emperor is not in the imperial study now, he was woken up at night, he is now in the palace, but he is not sleeping, just half leaning on the dragon couch, closing his eyes and recuperating, there are two palace maids standing beside him, and there are some things in their hands.

"Your Majesty, Commander Long and Commander Xu ask to see you. At this time, a eunuch walked in and gave a report.

The Emperor slowly opened his eyes, and then said, "Let them both come in, and you all stand down." ”

"Yes. ”

Soon, the emperor was the only one left in the palace.

"Ministers see the emperor"

Without waiting for Long Yun and Xu Huoyang to finish saluting, the emperor said, "Excuse me, say it." ”

Xu Huoyang heard the emperor's voice a little low, and after a closer look, he found that the emperor's face was very bad, so he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't rested all night, or you can sleep for a while, don't get tired of the dragon body." ”

The emperor smiled faintly, waved his palm lightly and said, "It's okay, people are old, it's like this, it's not in the way, Long Yun, you say it first." ”

Long Yun knew that although the emperor didn't show much on the surface now, he must be very anxious in his heart, so he replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers have inquired about the defenders of the four city gates in a row, and according to them, there are not a large number of unknown people entering the city, and there are not many people who entered the city last night. ”

"Oh, what did you find over there?" the Emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor, there is no movement in Yanyuntang, and the minister has been staring at it until now. Xu Huoyang replied.

"That's strange, there is no movement in Yanyuntang, and there are no large numbers of people entering the city, so where did those people come from? Could it be that Zhao Weixian secretly cultivated Shili?" the emperor said suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, it's inconvenient for this minister to guess. Long Yun said lightly.

"There is one more thing, I still can't figure it out, how did this Zhao Weixian notify the people outside to save him? Long Yun, after I sent you, did anyone in Zhao Weixian's mansion come out?" the emperor asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, no one came out, only the minister reported to the emperor that he heard the woman's scream, which was a little strange. Long Yun replied.

"I may be in a hurry to do this, I shouldn't let the Praetorian Guards go, otherwise Zhao Weixian wouldn't have run away. The Emperor said with some remorse.

Speaking of this topic, Long Yun and Xu Huoyang did not speak with interest.

"However, it seems that the woman's voice you heard is probably the crux of the matter. The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, then what's next"

"Secret investigation, in addition, I immediately issued an order to arrest Zhao Weixian, Long Yun, this generation of me went to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to pass on the decree, let them do this together, remember, widely distribute the arrest documents, offer a large reward, provide Zhao Weixian's whereabouts, a reward of 50,000 taels of silver, capture Zhao Weixian alive, reward 200,000 taels of silver and serve as a five-grade official, go. ”

Listening to the emperor's words, Long Yun and Xu Huoyang couldn't help but secretly speak, and said in their hearts that the amount of this reward is really a lot, and it seems that Zhao Weixian is going to be in trouble.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, so much reward, I am not afraid that no one will go.

"By the way, the martial arts sect on the rivers and lakes will also send someone to announce it, I have always heard that Zhao Weixian has something to do with the people in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes do such things, they have their own methods, maybe they will be more effective than us. The Emperor said.

As soon as he heard this, Long Yun immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's better to go directly to General Chi to do this." ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, General Chi has a very high status in the martial arts, and he must be very well-connected, so it's better for the emperor to directly order General Chi. Long Yun followed.

When the emperor heard the words of these two people, his mind moved, and then he said: "The two Aiqing are reasonable, but after he came back from southern Xinjiang, I promised him that he would never arrange an errand for him during this time.

Long Yun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are too worried, General Chi is a hero among the people, he will not be so careful, besides, you are not arranging an errand for him, you can say that you are asking him for help, so it seems that he has face, people in the martial arts have always been very arrogant, but they attach great importance to this face, and the minister thinks that as long as he gives enough face, he is not afraid that General Chi will not work hard." ”

"Okay! That's it, I'll send someone to Shezhou City. The Emperor said with a smile.

The world is so big, who knows where Zhao Weixian will hide, if Chi Zhongtian uses the rivers and lakes shili to help find it, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Your Majesty, let's go in person. Long Yun said suddenly.

"Oh, would you like to take a run?"

"Your Majesty, the minister and General Chi also have some friendship, and they have also been to him, besides, going as the commander of the Praetorian Guard can be regarded as giving General Chi enough face. Long Yun replied.

The emperor nodded with a smile and said, "Well, if Long Aiqing is willing to go in person, then it would be great, I will draw up the decree immediately, and after it is issued, you will set off immediately." ”
