At midnight, there was a lot of traffic in front of Prince Qin's palace.
It's just that the directions of these carriages and horses are facing the gate of the palace.
People in black robes wearing armor and covering their faces held oil-soaked torches and lanterns and formed two long queues in front of the gate. Li Zhanchun, the censor of the capital, Tu Xifeng, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Fu Zizhan, the commander of the Tianbian guards, and Qi Dan, the fifth prince of Zhao.
...Every single person who walked up the steps from the corridor surrounded by black robes was enough to shake the capital. Even the Northern Military Academy Lieutenant Xia Ze led his troops to clear the area around the palace. They all mobilized this time,
The seriousness of the situation can be imagined.
Of course, these scheming guys were very cautious. In order to avoid being exposed, they chose to visit the Prince of Qin's Mansion late at night and politely invite today's "protagonist" out.
The chiefs of the three law divisions have already settled in front of the palace, and their assistants are following behind with solemn expressions. In this strange atmosphere, no one dares to lie, and can only rely on a little eye contact.
"Commander Fu, please." Although Tu Xifeng has no knowledge of any martial arts at all, his appearance looks like the kind of ruthless character who can drive you into the wall with one slap. He is standing side by side with Fu Zizhan.
They are like two Vajra Arhats, really scary.
Among the people present, Li Zhanchun had the highest status, and Tu Xifeng was the second, so the matter of "delivering the message" was naturally left to him, and Fu Zizhan had no choice but to be responsible for the execution. But seeing that this was wrapped up tightly, there was no secret.
The conductor, who looked like a black moth in the air, stepped forward, pulled up the door knocker and knocked, and then the whole person blocked the door.
There were servants keeping watch in the palace at midnight. After hearing the knocker, they hurried to open the door. However, this poor young man was obviously frightened by the scene outside the door. He stood at the door helplessly and did not dare to speak.
.
"Your Majesty's special decree, the gold medal clears the way. Please inform the Third Prince that he will come with us to Shanhe Mansion." Seeing that Fu Zizhan had already shown the gold medal given by the emperor at the first moment, Li Zhanchun also stepped forward and said with a quite
The gentle tone soothed the young man's emotions.
The young man was just a servant in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. He didn't recognize any imperial gold medals, let alone high-ranking officials like Li Zhanchun, but he recognized the fifth prince among these people - the last time Qi Dan came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he was the one who gave him the gift.
The welcoming door.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince..." The young man turned his eyes to Qi Dan for help and knowledge.
"Don't say anything, don't ask anything. Either you invite my third brother out, or we go in and invite him." Qi Dan shook his head and looked at the Tianbian guard closest to him, which was Tiger Leopard Bear.
The tiger in the midst of the crisis is Hu Yuming, the most powerful of the four general managers.
Qi Dan was not winking at Hu Yuming, but at the servant of the palace, because Hu Yuming's hand was pressing on the knife and was even trembling slightly.
Completely different from his "petite" and "weak" appearance, Hu Yuming is famous for being addicted to drinking and is used to killing people. To sum up, he only has two hobbies in life, good drinking and killing, even to the point of addiction.
There is no doubt that this is a personality defect, very extreme. Such a person should not hold such an important responsibility, but the only reason why Fu Zizhan risked his life and had to speak kindly to the emperor to keep him is
One - his martial arts is very high, so high that even the two Chi brothers couldn't go through fifty rounds together.
Although the presiding officer of this case is Li Mastiff, Qi Changgeng handed the gold medal to Fu Zizhan tonight, which means that Fu Zizhan will be fully responsible for the arrest, including the time, location, personnel composition, etc.
Everything, and the reason why Fu Zizhan released this tiger specifically was to suppress the situation.
God knows if there are other unknown and hidden masters in Prince Qin's palace, so Fu Zizhan thought over and over again and asked Hu Yuming to follow him - no matter how many masters the opponent has, as long as they are not the best, Hu Yuming will take action.
Hu Yuming himself is undoubtedly a little crazy, or due to the sequelae of long-term drinking, which may cause him to draw a knife and kill someone if he disagrees. Qi Dan doesn't want this boy to die innocently by Hu Yuming's knife.
down, so when he noticed Hu Yuming's slightly trembling knife handle, he immediately gave a warning.
"Young...I'm going to invite His Highness now!" The servant understood, turned around and walked away, and opened the door to allow everyone to pass through.
「
Mr. Censor, do you think His Highness will sit still and wait for death?" Tu Xifeng lowered his body.
Li Zhanchun did not answer immediately because he was also thinking.
Qi Jun may be the leading businessman in the world today. His consistent style is "profit-only". Whichever option is more beneficial to him, he will definitely choose which one.
In today's situation, Qi Jun's ambition has been clearly revealed, but several parties have joined forces to attack the city - even if Qi Jun wants to fight to the death, can he really fly out?
Li Zhanchun is not the kind of person who makes judgments easily, but he is 100% sure now. With today's lineup, unless there are two top masters around Qi Jun and more than a hundred warriors to protect him, there will be no possibility of escape.
.
Judging from various signs, Qi Jun will definitely be captured without hesitation, but the question is...why did he choose to return to the capital?
Qi Jun is not the kind of obedient baby, and certainly not the kind of person who will break down after a slight setback. This kind of behavior without any struggle is really not like the Qi family's style... Thinking of this, Li Zhanchun couldn't help but feel
He turned his head and glanced at the calm and composed Fifth Prince, whose eyes happened to meet his own, as if he was also waiting for his answer.
"Yes... no?" Li Zhanchun felt that Qi Jun would definitely follow them, and maybe even be quite cooperative. But the more this situation becomes, the more uneasy it is, because it means that Qi Jun will still stay.
He made other moves.
But Li Zhanchun still had no hesitation to carry out this matter. This had nothing to do with the struggle between several princes for succession, but that he had to eradicate those harmful things from this soil. In the face of this matter,
No matter what kind of maneuvers and interests, concessions must be made without room for negotiation.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting for the reply, Qi Jun had already walked along the road. Unlike the panic and embarrassment when the village in Lining County was raided by Lao Wu, the third prince tonight was still so meticulous and organized.
, even when rushing to the execution ground, he was extremely calm.
"Everyone...are you waiting for me?" Qi Jun still smiled despite seeing such a battle.
Fu Zizhan "showed off" the gold medal in his hand in front of His Majesty the Third Highness. In order to prevent Qi Jun from making excuses, he even handed the pure gold token to Qi Jun: "His Majesty authorized the three divisions to jointly handle the case.
, please also ask Your Highness to go to Shanhe Mansion to talk about it."
"Don't worry... I'm here alone, and I can't run away." Qi Jun pretended to fiddle with the gold medal twice, but in fact he didn't even glance up. Is it okay to break into the palace with such a big fanfare to catch him?
Is this gold medal very important? Rather than saying it is a gold medal, it is better to say that this thing is a walking portrait of Qi Changgeng, which means that the emperor is here in person.
"What does His Highness think of us? It's just because His Majesty wants to get a result quickly. Otherwise, I can just sit here with you and chat until dawn!" Li Zhanchun also laughed twice and moved the emperor directly.
Come out as a shield.
Qi Jun put his hands behind his back, turned around twice, and finally returned to Li Mastiff: "Master Yushi, I have a question that I shouldn't ask..."
If you shouldn't ask, then don't ask! This is the voice of everyone present, but the purpose of Qi Jun's words is just to "emphasize that what he says next is the key point."
"Does it mean that my father wants to get a result quickly, or that my elder brother is impatient?" In the night, Qi Jun's eyes seemed to be shining with a faint blue light.
He doesn't care about anything now - he knows that his father will not let him die, so he has no scruples, damn the great cause, damn the ambition, damn the world! He wants to tear it apart now
Take off the hypocritical masks of these people and let them know that even if they take care of themselves, they are still not standing on the same rope!
Everyone knew that the prince was Li Mastiff Chun's disciple, so Tu Xifeng and Fu Zizhan unanimously chose to let Li Mastiff Chun answer this question, and the old man just shook his head, breaking Qi Jun's trap and Qi Jun in one sentence.
Jun's defense: "The Crown Prince and His Majesty are on the same page. Does His Majesty have any dissatisfaction with this matter?"
Yes, Qi Ji and Qi Changgeng have very good reasons to stand on the same side, but you, Qi Jun, don't. Maybe it's because you were born late!
At this moment, Qi Jun suddenly pulled out a bright dagger from his arms. No one expected that this prince with no martial arts would actually want to fight back in this situation, and everyone's first reaction was that he
They wanted to kidnap or assassinate Li Mastiff Chun. Fu Zizhan, who was standing in front, blocked him immediately, but Qi Jun's knife tip was aimed at his chest.
A ray of silver light rushed toward Qi Jun. Qi Dan knocked Qi Jun down at this moment, and pressed his right hand holding the short knife to the ground: "Everyone, don't move! Be careful around you!"
Qi Dan's words still made some sense. Everyone was alert at the same time, but nothing happened around them - except for a few dumbfounded maids and servants in the distance.
When no one had time to pay attention to the entangled brothers, Qi Jun quietly said in the ear of the fifth brother in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Although you cheated the third brother, fifth brother, the third brother repays evil with kindness.
..."
"Third brother has treated you with utmost benevolence and righteousness. You should consider what you should do!"
