When Tan Ge heard what Emperor Mingzhen said, he hurriedly bowed his head, clasped his fists and said in a voice: "I am just following the emperor's instructions!"

Emperor Mingzhen smiled slightly and felt relieved. Fortunately, there were still ministers around him to trust, so he said, "What are Cao Ji doing now? Do you know?"

"This..." Tan Ge shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I don't know!"

Emperor Mingzhen looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. He stood up and walked a few steps, came to Tan Ge, held his breath and whispered slightly, and said with his ears: "You released the news in the mansion, and you said the assassin, and you took a few elite guards to search up and down! The most important thing is to focus on searching Cao Ji's residence on this ground!"

"I understand, I'm going to receive the order!" Tan Ge said that, and even withdrew and followed the sage order.

Emperor Mingzhen watched Tan Ge leave, and then snorted coldly and murmured to himself: "The Tatars are coming back, I want to see, what are you doing!"

Driven by Berlin Sishen, the Tatars army launched several battles and attacks against the Qingcheng Emperor Chi Army Guards several times. Although Yue Zhenggang set up layers of ambush nearby, the other party rode a war horse and held conflicts, and was invincible and could not be captured alive!

Yue Zhenggang stood on the top of Fang Qing's city tower, looking down at the battle between the enemy and us from a high place. His eyebrows and beards fluttered in the wind, his eyes were deep, and his mind was as thoughtful as a tide: "They did not talk about formations, and they rushed up and retreated in an instant. What was the matter?"

······

Let’s talk about the fact that Yue Zhenggang was leading the heavy army to resist the attacking Tartars at this time, and Tan Ge had already released the news of the assassin visiting in the mansion, and is now leading the troops to search everywhere in the mansion!

Tan Ge came to Cao Ji's residence and searched around, and found that there was no one inside!

Tan Ge felt very strange and thought to himself: "Since Cao Ji is not here, where will he go?" Tan Ge recalled the worry of Emperor Mingzhen last night, and his mind suddenly became overturned!

Tan Ge's eyes wide open, his whole body was shocked, his face was shocked and suspicious, and he muttered to himself: "Cao Ji really..."

"grown ups?"

"Don't say too much, follow me to go back to find the emperor!" Tan Ge realized something in a dark state, so he stopped delaying and hurriedly walked towards the main hall where the emperor lived.

Let’s talk about this at this time Emperor Mingzhen was still arrogant at the seat, holding a cup in one hand and holding a Qingshui sword in the other, with a heavy face as deep as water!

Suddenly, an extremely slight sound of footsteps sounded beside him. If it weren't for the quiet night, Emperor Mingzhen himself had also practiced light body skills, he would probably have really not noticed it!

Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were slightly condensed, and his hand holding the Qingshui Sword became tighter. He looked up and saw a man wearing night clothes walking slowly not far away!

Emperor Mingzhen seemed to have expected that something might happen tonight, so he was not too panicked and said in a narrow mind: "Who are you? I guess he came here with ulterior motives, right?"

The man remained silent and raised his hand, two golden darts of swallows flew towards him, with a very fast speed!

Because the two were close together, and Emperor Mingzhen was originally in a state of caution, waved his hand and raised his sword. A sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and two swallow golden darts were blocked by the Qingshui sword and fell to the ground!

Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were slightly condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Your martial arts is pretty good. Since you can walk in the mansion at will, you must be my close friend?" A little smile suddenly appeared in his words!

Emperor Mingzhen recalled Tan Ge's last report and talked about Cao Ji as a master with great skills. Based on the recent situation, Emperor Mingzhen already suspected that the man in black was Cao Ji!

Emperor Mingzhen smiled indifferently and said, "Since you are here for assassination at night, let me guess who you are!"

"Now the military guards around me are all screened and arranged by Yue Aiqing layer by layer, and there is not a high possibility of making mistakes. But there is only one person who knows that I have every move except them and Yue Tan's family!"

Emperor Mingzhen pondered for a moment, and suddenly said coldly: "Little Caozi, is it you?" A sharp light flashed through his eyes.

The man in black was also slightly stunned when he heard this. Emperor Mingzhen stared at his only two cold eyes that were exposed, and thought to himself: "Hmph, as I expected, Xiao Caozi, you can't hold back!"

The man in black pondered for a moment, and suddenly pulled off the black scarf on his face. Under the dim lights and candles, who else would it be if it weren't Cao Ji?

An extremely strange smile appeared on Cao Ji's lips, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, our family pays you a blessing!"

"Okay!" Emperor Mingzhen smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, "Cao Ji, since I ascended the throne, I have treated you well. Why have you betrayed me and the court so much?"

Emperor Mingzhen's words were firm. He might have expected that Cao Ji would be there for the person behind the scenes, but at this time the truth was exposed to him, and he was still helpless and helpless! Emperor Mingzhen said in a deep voice:

"Hmph, it's not just after I ascended the throne. Since the late emperor was in power, you have been in charge of all matters in the palace. When the late emperor was dying, you told me that it was Cao Ji that you were loyal to the royal family and that you were able to manage everything!"

"As soon as I ascended the throne, I will promote you to the chief of the internal affairs. Which eunuchs in the palace must not obey your orders?" Emperor Mingzhen shook his head, sighed, and continued, "I miss you for your loyalty, and later handed over the position of East and West Factory to you. Do you know that since the beginning of our dynasty, no one has ever held such a heavy position!"

"I will tell you today that I am extremely honored and favored to you!" Emperor Mingzhen snorted coldly, with a look of loss on his face, and said, "But I just don't know why you have reached this point today?"

"Emperor!" Cao Ji smiled slightly after hearing Emperor Mingzhen's romance, and said calmly, "Last Emperor and Long Live Master, you treat our family as much as a mountain and have great favor. Our family will remember and remember it in their hearts! But the old saying goes well, 'People go to high places, water flows to low places!' Our family devotes their whole life to the palace. Now that this year, our family has worked hard and made great contributions, and has the ability to overcome the world. Why can't we become the lord of the world?"

"You..." Emperor Mingzhen was even more angry after hearing Cao Ji's fallacy, and snorted coldly, saying, "You are doing things recklessly, with overwhelming ambitions and ulterior motives!"

Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were slightly closed, he pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes again, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Ji, as you said, I miss you for your hard work and great contributions, and have served the ancestors and me for most of my life. Once upon a time, I was still loyal! If you stop at this time, I can no longer hold you accountable today!"

"Oh?" Cao Ji felt strange after hearing Emperor Mingzhen's words!
