The order sent to them by the temple is also very simple:
He only obeyed General Bai's instructions without any distractions and didn't talk to anyone.
Let go of everything and move forward bravely!
Unknowingly, Bai Tan's army was completely replaced. So he ordered the rest of the army to continue to suppress the refugee riots, and he took the newly formed team to "return to the aid" of Miyagi!
As long as you rush through the palace gate, everything will be fine!
…
While King Yao was resting, Bai Hengbo, like other officials, took the opportunity to release water.
When the monarch is in a meeting, whoever dares to leave in the middle of the meeting has to hold back all three urgent needs. People like You Rongzhi, who has been accompanying King Yao to meetings for a long time, always have to find a doctor to prescribe some medicine to heal the bladder.
After draining the water, he walked out and grabbed a handful of snow from a cypress branch in the forest to wipe his hands with.
The new snow is very clean.
Even in winter, the needles of these big cypress trees are still very dense, and two or three of them can completely block the view.
Bai Hengbo was wiping his hands when a voice sounded from behind the tree: "What's new?"
He was not frightened, because the man behind the tree was Yuan Xuan, the guard of Qingyang Supervisor.
Of course, he would not dare to talk to Qingyang face to face in a place like this.
"Zhao Song returned to the palace and just entered the Frost Immortal Queen's Hall."
King Yao had already gone to the back hall to rest, and Zhao Song went to see him.
Yuan Xuan immediately asked: "How many people did he bring back? Where is He Xiao?"
"Three hundred, but I didn't see He Xiao."
Yuan Xuan knew that after the attack on the Qingyang Supervisor and the special envoy Bejia came to the palace to complain, King Yao had to summon all the people in charge of the Tianshui eastward expansion project to the palace. Now He Xiao was the only one missing.
Where has this person gone? Why did Zhao Song go to see King Yao himself?
"Where are Zhao Song's three hundred people now?"
"It's in the Frost Fairy's rear hall."
Yuan Xuan knew that this was a bit difficult to handle. Tonight, a refugee riot broke out in the north of the city. Suddenly, a large number of palace guards were assigned to leave the palace to suppress the riot.
The guard force in the palace is actually limited, and Qingyang and Bai Tan's uncle and nephew have made plans.
He Xiao usually travels with great pomp, but when he enters the palace, he is usually accompanied by only three or two palace guards - this palace is in charge of King Yao, and only King Yao can pretend to be 13.
But Zhao Song suddenly came back and brought 300 people into the palace. This move was unusual!
With the addition of these three hundred elite palace guards, the protective power around King Yao will increase, which may affect Qingyang and Bai Hengbo's next actions.
Yuan Xuan immediately asked: "Can these three hundred people be dispersed?"
"No." King Yao was suspicious. He would not send away his most trusted guards at this time. "They are stationed in the back hall as the Imperial Guards, and they are under the command of the Langzhong."
He is in charge of the security of the palace, while Lang Zhongling is responsible for the personal security of King Yao.
He didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he turned around and walked towards the Frost Immortal Palace.
Fortunately, he was alert, because he could not take more than a few steps when someone from the palace came towards him and said hurriedly:
"Master Bai, the king calls you to go quickly!"
King Yao wants to see him? Bai Hengbo felt a little dazed in his heart, and said without any expression on his face: "Just come."
He waved his hand, and more than a dozen palace guards gathered him in the middle, and they all headed towards the Shuangxian rear hall.
At this time, the Shuangxian apse was no different from usual. There were guards guarding every corner of the square courtyard outside the palace. In the long corridor leading to the apse, there were two palace guards standing every thirty steps.
Outside the palace gate, there were four palace servants and eight imperial guards with swords standing guard, divided into two rows, front and back.
As soon as Bai Hengbo arrived, someone from the palace came in to report.
So the small door opened, and Bai Hengbo knelt on the outside of the threshold. He saw King Yao sitting in the palace with a bad look on his face, and Zhao Song also knelt in front of him.
This is the difference between inside and outside.
"Zhao Song!" King Yao called his name, his voice full of anger, "Tell him what mistake you made!"
"Yes." Zhao Song glanced sideways at Bai Hengbo, "His Majesty He Xiaomeng summoned him, and I accompanied him into the palace. When we got to the Yin Dou Pavilion, he said he was in a hurry and went to the nearby Gongfang. As a result, he——"
Zhao Song paused for a moment: "He never came out. I went in to look for him, but there was no one inside."
"He lost He Xiao!" King Yao said angrily, "This man must still be in the palace, Bai Hengbo, find him for me!"
Bai Hengbo could only respond with "yes".
He is the Chief of the Imperial Palace, and he is originally responsible for the security within the palace. Of course, it is his duty to hunt down He Xiao, and there is no excuse for it.
Of course, Bai Hengbo was reluctant to have such an unexpected incident happen, but he still had to wait for his uncle's signal.
If the signal doesn't come, he can't do anything.
So the best way for him now is to hold his troops for the time being so as not to make King Yao suspicious.
When he and Zhao Song walked out of the palace together, he asked:
"Brother Zhao, do you know why He Xiao ran away?"
Zhao Song said sternly: "When the explosion near Youhu Lake was heard, He Xiao and I both heard it. At that time, he sighed and said that he was in a big disaster and there was nothing he could do about it. Later, the king indeed sent someone to summon him.
Palace, He Xiao looked gloomy and taciturn along the way."
He concluded: "I think he has had other ideas for a long time."
Bai Hengbo asked curiously: "If he wanted to escape, he would have escaped on the way. How could he wait until he entered the palace?"
Escape techniques are prohibited in the palace with high walls. Whoever enters here will have the difficulty of escaping several times higher. He Xiao is a smart man, why would he want to escape in the palace?
Zhao Song's face was serious: "Who said he wanted to escape?"
Bai Hengbo was stunned: "What does he want to do?"
Zhao Song lowered his voice: "Your Majesty has found out that he is Emperor Jiuyou!"
Bai Hengbo lost his voice: "Nine..."
Emperor Jiuyou? He Xiao?
A foreign island businessman has won the king's favor and has presided over several major projects in Tianshui City. Now King Yao believes that he is the Emperor of Jiuyou?
What is the logic behind this?
Even though Bai Hengbo was preoccupied, he was seriously surprised at this time.
"Hush -" Zhao Song put a finger in front of his lips, "He Xiao has been in and out of the palace countless times and is very familiar with this place. The king has confirmed that he is the Great Emperor of Jiuyou. Maybe he has realized it himself. He jumped out of the palace midway.
He harbors evil intentions and wants to do harm to the king or the prison country, especially the prison country!"
Bai Hengbo was surprised: "He wants to harm the prison country?"
"Who in Tianshui City doesn't know that the Supervisory State sees him as a thorn in his side. If something like this happened tonight, he knew he wouldn't be able to finish his meal, so he would take advantage of it before he knew it?" Zhao Song said seriously, "Say
Maybe he has a way to leave the palace, but once he succeeds and flees thousands of miles away, he will pass the blame on the king and leave Bejia's anger to the Yao Kingdom!"
He Xiao never came to the palace at all. These are all nonsense that King Yao told Zhao Song.
But if the title of Emperor Jiuyou is not placed on He Xiao, the reason for "He Xiao disappeared after entering the palace" is not sufficient, and Bai Hengbo cannot be trusted.
As expected, Bai Hengbo was so shocked by the name of Emperor Jiuyou that he didn't say a word for a while.
Both Xue Zongwu and General Xue died in the hands of Emperor Jiuyou. There are endless dangers for such a prominent figure wandering around Yao Palace. Bai Hengbo, as the Chief of the Imperial Palace, has the responsibility to find him.
