Seeing Wang Zhuo's stunned expression, Xuan Tianming snorted and said, "He's not dreaming, and he's not eating. It looks like he's singing." After saying this, he reached out to push open the door and walked in.
Wang Zhuo also followed in. He had only walked a few steps when he heard Tianwu singing with his broken voice — — "Big brother plucks a willow for little sister, little sister weaves a basket for mushrooms; big brother catches fish for little sister, little sister raises them by the stream."
Wang Zhuo was confused. What was going on? There was chaos outside, there were people drinking pigeon soup in the palace, and there were people singing opera. Were they all crazy?
Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud. Looking at Xuan Tianming again, this Ninth Prince didn't have any special reaction, as if everything that was happening in front of him was very normal. He stopped and turned his head to say to him, "Since the palace is fine, you take the people outside to meet Bu Cong and his heavy armored soldiers. If you can catch one, that's one. If you can't catch one, just directly kill them. Order Bai Ze to immediately send a message to the capital's outskirts. Have Qian Li lead people to surround and kill the remnants of the north. Don't leave a single one alive. "
Wang Zhuo finally let out a sigh of relief. He would rather go out of the palace to fight than feel this strange atmosphere in the palace! Thus, he quickly replied loudly, "This subordinate obeys!"
This shout was a little too loud, as it directly startled the Emperor. The song came to an abrupt stop, as he angrily shouted: "Who is making such a ruckus over there?"
Wang Zhuo trembled and knelt down with a plop, "This subject, Admiral Wang Zhuo, kowtows in salute to the emperor!"
Tianwu angrily walked out of Zhao He Hall, clearly a bit impatient. He didn't ask why Xuan Tianming and Wang Zhuo had entered the palace in the middle of the night. He directly discussed with Xuan Tianming, "Can't you go to the Heavenly Hall? There's a dragon throne in the Heavenly Palace. You can just sit there and command however you want. Give out whatever orders you want. We will let Xiao Yuan Zhi bring the imperial jade seal over to you as well. If you feel that you don't have enough power, you can get someone to draft the edict. When you're done, you can stamp the seal on it. Alright? Don't make a fuss here, this emperor is busy. "
Wang Zhuo was on the verge of collapsing upon hearing this, but Xuan Tian Ming had already become accustomed to it, but this time, he was truly angry. Even a golden mask could not hide his anger, and the anger in his entire body surged forth, forcing the Emperor to take a couple steps back.
"Ming … Ming 'er." The Emperor was a little guilty, "Who offended you? Speak! Imperial father will give you justice. Is it old three? Old three or old four? Or is old three and old four's? Why don't you go and arrest them, or ask your wife to go and beat them both to death! Aiya, last time when your wife beat old three, this emperor said it was too light. Actually, there's no need to give this emperor any face. This emperor doesn't want that vile spawn anymore. She …. "
"She's outside the city!" Xuan Tianming suddenly raised his voice and shouted at Emperor Tianwu, "Heng Heng and Seventh Brother were tricked by Duanmu Qing to leave the city. They still haven't returned!" He was so angry that he clenched his fists. Although he knew that Feng Yu Heng had the Universe Space to hide in, what if she couldn't hide in time? What if she was injured? What if there was a problem with the Universe Space at a critical moment? He didn't dare to risk Feng Yu Heng's life. Tianwu and the imperial palace's carelessness had truly angered him.
Tianwu was also stunned. Feng Yu Heng left the city? Duanmu Qing tricked her? Old seven also went out? He was startled. Cold sweat instantly appeared on his back.
"This emperor … I, I didn't think that they would leave the city." Tianwu was very annoyed. Originally, he thought that he was quite calm and even the imperial palace was quite calm. Even though the sound of the door being slammed was so loud that it spread to every corner of the imperial palace, he still calmly had Zhang Yuan send a message to the various palaces. He said that there was no need to be afraid. The Ninth Prince's army had already captured the bandits outside. The people in the palace really listened to him. When he said it was fine, it was fine. They ate and slept. It was even said that the empress who wasn't afraid of things getting out of hand even pulled a few concubines to the theater to watch the play. But he never thought that Feng Yu Heng would be tricked.
What should he do? Even the ruler of a country became anxious because he knew what Feng Yu Heng meant to Xuan Tianming. He also knew what Feng Yu Heng meant to Dashun. That girl was a national treasure. No matter who was in trouble, nothing could happen to her. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Seeing that Tianwu was anxious and his expression was not good, Zhang Yuan quickly went forward to support him. Then he advised, "Your Majesty, you must not be anxious. Your health is more important. County princess Ji An has her own heaven's favor. Even if she doesn't have heaven's favor, doesn't she still have His Ninth Highness' favor? Also, His Highness the Seventh Prince has also left the city. With His Highness the Seventh Prince's martial arts, he will definitely be able to protect county princess. "
Tianwu stomped his foot, "What if there are more people in the North?"
"There is no what if." Zhang Yuan decisively said, "The two highnesses will definitely be able to handle this!" After saying this, he looked at Xuan Tianming, "Your Highness, don't you think so?"
Xuan Tianming helplessly sighed. What could he say? Tianwu being calm was a good thing. Believing in him was also a good thing. Feng Yu Heng being tricked out of the city was something that nobody could have predicted. It could not be blamed on anyone.
"Right." He nodded to Tianwu to ease his worries, "With the Seventh Brother present, nothing will happen to Heng Heng, but …" He furrowed his brow once more and recalled that Wang Zhuo was still present. He quickly kicked Wang Zhuo, "Go out and take care of things." Without another word, Wang Zhuo disappeared without a trace.
Tianwu watched the person with an injury on his leg run away like a rabbit. He could not help but ask: "His injury is fake, right?"
Xuan Tianming was not in the mood to joke with him, coldly saying: "It's real." He then gave a simple explanation of what had happened outside. He also mentioned that Xuan Tian Ye had already been thrown into the mountain prison. Only then did he continue: "Although the situation is under control, can you be a little more careful? Your method of calming down is to sing? Even if you sing, in any case, sing a military song. What older brother and younger sister, what sort of thing is that? "
Tianwu lost it: "Isn't this all for the sake of making your imperial concubine mother happy? Back then, she sang this sort of thing to hook your old man's heart. Ah! After hooking it, she doesn't care anymore and just lets it go? She's beautiful! This great one will definitely sing it back for her! "
Xuan Tianming felt that his father, the emperor, was truly unreasonable and waved his hand: "Continue singing! I'm going to Heavenly Hall. "
Tianwu became anxious: "Hah! Why don't you just stay here? I can't sleep anyway. Don't go! Then … I'll give you the imperial jade seal! "
Xuan Tianming's nose became crooked from anger. Was the imperial jade seal something that could be given out so casually? In the end, could his father be reliable for once? Helplessly waving his hand behind him: "No!"
"Then you need to send someone out to look for Heng Heng! How about you go on your own! There's nothing going on in the palace! "
Xuan Tianming coldly said: "I'm leaving? What if something happens after I leave? If the palace becomes chaotic, none of us will be able to survive! "
Tianwu still wanted to say something, but Zhang Yuan pulled him back: "Alright, Your Highness has already left. Don't pretend anymore."
The Emperor looked out for a while then asked with uncertainty: "Has he really gone far?"
"Really."
"Alright, then let's continue singing. Where were we just now?"
When Xuan Tianming walked out of the range of Zhao He Hall, the last sound he heard was Tianwu's broken voice singing again. It made him so angry that he rolled his eyes. He really wondered how the magnificent Dashun had managed to prosper under the hands of this unlucky emperor. His vitality was truly tenacious!
That night, Xuan Tianming oversaw the palace with twenty thousand soldiers under his command. In addition, all of the Imperial Guard in the palace, as well as the guards of the Imperial Palace Yu, Chun Wang Fu, and Ji An County Princess Fu were all dispatched by him. In less than two hours, all of the heavily armored soldiers in the capital were captured. However, Bu Cong was not found.
Bai Ze hurriedly brought a soldier guarding the city gates into the palace. When the soldier saw Xuan Tianming, he dropped to his knees and said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, about an hour ago, County Princess Ji An and General Bu Cong left the city together. They went through the east gate. This subordinate saw them head east, but I don't know why. "
"Did you see them clearly?"
"It's absolutely true!" The soldier continued: "This subordinate also spoke with the county princess. I am certain that it was the county princess herself."
Xuan Tianming made a few guesses in his heart, but he still could not guess why Feng Yu Heng followed Bu Cong out of the city and headed east. Didn't they say that she went north to chase after Duanmu Qing?
His heart jumped and an idea came to him. He immediately ordered Bai Ze: "Go call someone guarding the city gates over."
Bai Ze nodded and left. Not long after, he came back with a person who was heavily injured. "Master." He said to Xuan Tianming: "The north gate has been replaced by Bu Cong's people. This is the only one alive."
Xuan Tianming nodded and said to that person: "Don't be afraid. Although your injuries are heavy, they are not fatal. Tonight, all of the injured soldiers will be treated by military doctors."
The soldier gratefully kowtowed to him. He then heard Xuan Tianming ask: "I want to ask you, before you were attacked, did you see county princess Ji An and his Highness the seventh prince leave the city?"
The person nodded and said with certainty: "I saw them. Not only was it the county princess and his Highness the seventh prince, but there were also two servant girls." At that time, Ban Zou was hidden in the shadows, so he did not notice.
Once these words were said, the soldier guarding the east gate was stunned. He urgently asked: "When did you see them? Did the county princess come back after that? "
The person thought for a bit, "When the county princess left the city, it was just nighttime. The capital was not in chaos, and there were still people coming and going on the streets. As for whether or not she came back … … "He looked at Xuan Tianming and said with a guilty expression:" The city gates were lost. As for what happened after that, this subordinate does not know. "
Xuan Tianming nodded his head. He already had an idea in his heart. Feng Yu Heng and his Seventh Brother had left through the north gate. It was impossible for them to come back in a short period of time. Therefore, the person who left the city with Bu Cong at the east gate should not be Feng Yu Heng. If it was not Feng Yu Heng, then who could it be?
His brows slightly furrowed, but he had already opened his mouth to order Bai Ze — — "Continue to send people to the north to receive county princess and Prince Chun. Also, send people to the east to pursue them. Regardless of whether it is Bu Cong or that so-called county princess, capture them both alive!"
