Chapter 279 The knife does not recognize people, and the soldiers do not know the general
In the darkness, Zeng Yanliang only felt that his whole body was sore and unbearable. He is now tied several times by the thick rope of his thumb, and the drug spirit on his body does not seem to have passed. Although he reluctantly wants to open his eyes to see his current situation, he has tried several times but can only make himself more and more dizzy.
Where is this place? Why did you come here? What happened?
I don't know where the cold wind blew in, which made Zeng Yanliang a little sober. He calmed his mind and gradually recalled what had happened before.
By the way, Xuanrong was kidnapped, and I went out of the imperial city to look for it with Wang's brothers... Later... I was eager to find people and separated from the guards brothers, and then someone shot a cold arrow at me. There was also a note on the arrow, asking me to go to the land temple outside the imperial city to find Xuanrong... After I went...
There is no miracle of the land temple, so usually only passers-by go inside to shelter from the rain when it rains, and no one goes to worship. The ancient temple is in disrepair and looks very dilapidation. Although Zeng Yanliang knew that it would be dangerous to be led by the nose like this, when he thought of Leng Xuanrong in danger, he didn't want to think much and ran there alone. When he entered the land temple and looked for a circle, he didn't see anyone. When he wanted to leave, a waxy smoke rose in front of him. This smoke was a common Jianghu trick. Although Zeng Yanliang knew it, it was too late to prevent it. So he fainted and didn't know anything after that.
Xuanrong... I don't know what's going on...
Zeng Yanliang struggled hard, and a dull pain came, and he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air. At this time, Zeng Yanliang felt that there was probably something on the top of his head and stuffed something in his mouth, so now his breathing was not very smooth. It seemed that the other party not only didn't want him to escape, but also afraid that others would find him. Zeng Yan thought to himself, in this way, they are not in any secret place now?
With the recovery of his feelings, Zeng Yanliang could feel the bumps around him. He speculated that they might be on their way in a carriage.
Where are you going?
Zeng Yan had a little expectation in her conscience. Maybe she can see Xuanrong when she arrives at the place. Although he can't save her in this situation now, if they meet, they will always feel much more at ease. After that, no matter what happens, the two of them can figure it out together.
But just as Zeng Yanliang was thinking like this, the carriage suddenly stopped. After a burst of noise, Zeng Yanliang suddenly heard a man's heavy voice roaring anxiously, "What does it have to do with your fucking money? I can fucking tell you! If anyone dares to block my way, I won't recognize this knife in my hand!"
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew, and the thing covering Zeng Yanliang's head was suddenly lifted up.
"Is that the fucking boy? He is quite strong, but his mother doesn't look rich and noble!"
Zeng Yanliang listened to the man's harsh voice and tried to open his eyelids. The blurred figure in front of him kept shaking, but he could not distinguish the other party's face.
"Isn't that the person? Must be right? OK! Then I'm going to get the cashier!"
After the man said this, Zeng Yanliang saw him raise his hand, and there was something shining in his hand.
In an instant, a chill came, and an idea flashed from Zeng Yanliang's mind. He secretly shouted in his heart, not good...
The court council was specially selected in Zhaoming Palace, and all the people present knew what it was for.
The whole Zhaoming Palace is heavily guarded, with heavy armored guards guarding several palace doors, golden armored guards with knives, and many close attendants wearing black-topped red hairpins lined up several floors outside the Zhaoming Palace. At this time, it may not be too much to say that someone deliberately surrounded this place.
Du Yilin, the king of Xiaohan, sat there with a cold face and gently tapped the celadon tea bowl with his fingertips. The hot tea in the tea bowl did not seem to move at all, and a few pieces of tea leaves floated in the steaming white air, trembling with slight vibration.
Sitting opposite King Xiaohan, there is a calm and majestic man. Although he is almost the age of Huajia, it can be seen that he is well maintained and there are no folds on his face, except that his hair has turned gray, but it is said that his hair was like this as early as he was young.
This person is An Longyi, the first assistant prime minister. When everyone is restless, it seems that only he can suppress the current scene, making this irritable atmosphere a little more stable.
An Longyi lifted his eyelids and glanced at Du Yilin. His eyes were so deep that no one could guess what he was thinking.
At this time, someone next to him couldn't calm down. He stood up and asked Du Yilin angrily, "What does it mean that King Xiaohan has transferred so many close attendants here?"
Du Yilin seemed to be stunned by this question. He raised his head and stared at the speaker, looked up and down, and said coldly, "Why did General Chi have this question? The cinnabar attendants were originally to protect the emperor's safety. Where the emperor is, they are naturally there. What's more... General Chi, why don't you even know the rules of the palace? The cinnabar attendants, like all the guards in this palace, are directly dispatched by the emperor. If these cinnabar attendants were transferred by the king, then who brought those heavy armored guards and gold armored guards?
After saying that, Du Yilin looked at An Longyi coldly and snorted coldly.
When General Chi heard Du Yilin say this, he immediately knew that he had said something wrong. His great general is not worthy of his name. Huanghuang has not had a war with neighboring countries for many years. General Chi's ancestors were all tough generals galloping on the battlefield, but only his eldest son was cowardly and incompetent. Fortunately, his peers still have a lot of generals, so he can continue to inherit the position of general with his family power. Such a person with no eyesight and strength rarely comes up in front of the emperor. This time, he was forced to come to this point after being coerced by the family.
General Chi felt unlucky. He had tried his best to avoid the fight between King Xiaohan and the An family, but he was involved in the poisoning of a little girl. This kind of bad luck that can't be hit by eight poles can fall on him, and General Chi also understands that this must be because the two sides fought fiercely.
At this time, he can only choose to do what is beneficial to him, and he can only choose to say what is beneficial to him. It is the most basic to save his life and family status. Therefore, when An Longyi personally handed over the memorial to him, he could only choose the "correct" way to deal with it and appeal to the emperor with An Longyi.
However, King Xiaohan appeared without any suspense and took the cinnabar guards he didn't know when he had accumulated. This group of people seems to emerge out of thin air. Not only can they compete with the heavy armored guards and golden armored guards planted by An Longyi for many years, but they can also see that those people are not temporarily pulled out to make up the number, but have been carefully trained.
General Chi was very surprised by the preparation of King Xiaohan, and all the people, including him who came to see the emperor with An Longyi, had to face such a dilemma at this time. Originally, they all relied on the power of An Longyi and his men, thinking that this matter was foolproof. Who knew that there was a sudden fork in the fork, and they could take them all down with one word. Moreover, well-informed people also learned that not only the cinnabar servant was mobilized, but also the king's driver and guard of King Xiaohan were waiting outside the palace.
It is human to be greedy and afraid of death. No one wants to see an unexpected crisis, and even the emperor who is sitting high now thinks so.
The emperor looked at An Longyi and his brother who would cause trouble. He thought to himself, is it just today? Could it be that my brother can't wait any longer? Are you going to do it today? Can it succeed? I haven't had time to say goodbye to my concubine...
Just when the emperor frowned and thought of these things, Du Yilin said loudly, "I heard that Prime Minister An came to the Ming Palace with anything important today? In my opinion, it's better to discuss the matter quickly and disperse early after the next judgment. It's really hard to endure in this hot summer.
His words seem to remind everyone how things will develop in the future should actually be influenced by the things they are going to discuss. If we can come up with a solution for the best of both things, then they will no longer have any risk of life. The battle between the first assistant prime minister and King Xiaohan has now become foggy, and it's almost time to clear the fog, and everyone is waiting for it.
When the emperor heard Du Yilin's words, he also hurriedly calmed down and said to An Longyi, " Prime Minister An, all the nobles have arrived. Let's discuss it."
An Longyi nodded slightly to the emperor, and then took out a letter and a memorial from his sleeve. Without him talking, a little eunuch came to take two things and send them to the emperor.
While the emperor was reading letters and memorials, An Longyi slowly opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Presumably everyone here has heard that something unfortunate has happened in the old family. Inu Ziping suffered from the disease of Xiangyue and has not been cured for a long time. Although he had a marriage contract with He Ruiping, the daughter of He Lijing, the governor of Wuming County, he has not been able to promote the happy event for a long time. A month ago, He's house wrote a letter urging her. When the dog's condition stabilized, he went to Wuming County to take the Miss He back to the house to prepare for marriage. Unexpectedly, this great joy turned out to be a disaster in the end. Miss He's life was so short that she couldn't enter our family..."
Speaking of this, An Longyi sighed and shook his head and said, "Your atonement for your sins. This was originally a private matter of the old minister's family, but he didn't expect that it has become an excuse for the sy minister to harm the country."
