Chapter 44: Like a Shot

The moon peeked out of the dense clouds for half of its face, and it was about half past two in the morning, and the hidden eyebrows glanced around, which was probably the opposite of the previous entrance, and the narrow hole they had climbed out of had been blocked. It was a rather remote crossing, with a few low-rise buildings of two or three stories scattered around the intersection, crawling with vines and clematis, and no pedestrians passing by or tavern frolicking.

The cold command made the two of them immediately turn their heads to look. Five heavily armed guards on horseback appeared on the right side of the intersection, led by lanterns, all dressed in red-gold uniforms and black cloaks, looking at them condescendingly.

"The curfew has passed, Lord Keeper of the Coop," the soldier at the head sneered with a disgusting horse face, "It is clearly written in the law that all soldiers who do not return to the camp after ten o'clock will be brought before a military court to face prosecution, have you all forgotten Your Majesty's orders?

This was clearly said to Yin Xinmei, these five people are all guards of the Sang Rank, and it is their turn to be on duty tonight, responsible for patrolling the main streets of the inner city.

"Don't make me repeat the words again, guard!" the horse-faced guard was furious when he saw that his eyebrows were motionless, "and you, sir.

"The law stipulates that soldiers who violate discipline are to be handed over to the Police Division, when did the guards of the Mulberry Order start to call themselves the judicial department?" Sesser's stern rebuke carried irresistible authority.

Yin Xinmei didn't listen much to their bickering over there, but when she thought that the person was called Mr. Pretty Emperor, she couldn't hold back her laughter and trembled.

However, the five men on the other side couldn't laugh, and Sether's questioning shook the brains like whips on their heads, and the horse-faced guard immediately panicked, and he looked back at the four people behind him with his eyes, and they looked at each other with no arrogance.

"Now it's my turn to order you, do it obediently, or I promise you'll regret it!"

Impressed by Sether's orders, the Prime Minister's guards became more and more convinced that the other party's position of power was far above them, and they hung their heads like a flock of plucked roosters.

"Now all of them will dismount and form a horizontal team in front of me according to their military age!"

One by one, they dismounted, and walked heavily to Sether to stand up. At this moment, all the dense clouds dispersed, and the bright moonlight shrouded Seiser's face, and the horse-faced soldier raised the lantern in disbelief to make sure, and the light focused on the white diamond ring of the lion snake in the emperor's hand, which no one could mistake, and reflected back into the panicked pupils of the frightened horse-faced soldier at this moment.

"Your Majesty!!Why are you?!" The five of them were so frightened that they saluted Sether with their brushes, the tip of their noses almost embedded in the mud, and they didn't dare to look up.

"It seems that my efforts to inspect your guards were not completely in vain, and you still recognize me. ”

No one dares to risk death.

"Lift up your heads and give your names. ”

The guards obediently obeyed.

"Did you spot anything unusual when you were on patrol?"

"Report to Your Majesty, we have found the body of a coachman and a smashed carriage two miles from here, and the identity of the deceased is tentatively assumed to be that of a civilian who was pulling goods. No suspicious items have been recovered from him and we have informed the Police Division. Two of our brothers were standing there, and the police officers were on their way. ”

"Good. Sether mounted one of the horses, motioned for Hidden Eyebrows to do the same, and gestured for one of the guards to help her up, "Now you go and inform the nearby outposts, and immediately send additional troops to inspect all the streets of the inner city and the main roads within a radius of seventy miles from the outer city, and make raids at suspicious locations and checkpoint searches." In addition to firing flares, several people should be sent to verbally inform all sentry posts and passes to ensure that the blockade order is enforced as soon as possible. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we promise to complete the mission!"

After explaining, Sether and Hidden Heart Eyebrow galloped all the way. She fought hard to keep herself from falling off the violently bumpy horse.

"Sit tight, don't break your neck!" Sether's voice blew in front of him with the wind.

Along the way, flashbangs were constantly fired into the air from different positions, and they arrived at the Impatiens Garden without encountering any obstacles. The meadow, which used to be silent and silent at midnight, was now full of ministers, princesses, and concubines waiting with their necks stretched, and the corridor was completely filled with two new shifts of guards. The huge brass-handled torches were lit, and everyone was chattering and anxiously waiting, for the midnight of the palace had never been so noisy.

"Your Majesty is back!" someone shouted.

The crowd immediately swarmed the two of them, and they all shouted thanks to God for allowing the emperor to return safely. The women were wiping tears with excitement.

"Where's the baby?" the Emperor asked the Minister of Justice in a loud voice through the crowd.

"Your Majesty, we can't find him anywhere. Mag replied loudly, everyone was listening, and the noise gradually decreased, "At one o'clock, Captain Infant was supposed to change shifts with Deputy Captain Lu at the headquarters of the Police Division, but they didn't show up for a long time! We were ready to report to you when we couldn't find him, but we couldn't find you! Where the hell have you gone? Are you hurt? What happened to Baby?"

"Emperor, I'm going crazy for you! I thought you were missing," a chubby, round-faced woman cried with makeup and her hair in a crooked bun, "The Empress fainted when she saw •••••the flare, and still hasn't woken up."

"Don't get excited, I'm fine, everything is already arranged. The emperor stretched out his hand to silence everyone, "Wei Nan, what about Wei Nan?" Okay, you are here, •••••• everyone, you are all leaving the palace in turn according to Wei Nan's arrangement, keeping your mood stable and keeping your order. The current situation is a bit complicated, but it will be resolved, so before that, I hope you don't speculate for no reason, don't talk about it, all rumors can't come from the mouths of everyone on the scene, understand? Now follow Wei Nan's gestures, it's very good••••••"

Sether's words played a big role, perhaps because it was reassuring, or maybe it was because people didn't dare to disobey the order, but in short, the crowd finally dispersed.

"Your Majesty," Sang Jie, knowing that the emperor would definitely leave him, so he never left, and at this moment he approached the emperor, "The guard behind you seems to have fainted, do you want to send it to the infirmary?"

Seser turned his head to look at her, and did not answer, but called Lu Wande, the deputy captain of the pigeon cage designated to be on standby, and asked him to take her away, and whispered a few more words, and left with Sang Jie.

At this moment, the reins of the horse with hidden eyebrows were led by Deputy Captain Lu, and she lay on the horse's back like a sack, thinking groggily, "Can you take the bullet without taking off your coat••••••
