Anyone who has met Gu Xun knows that his face is very recognizable.
Some of the imperial officials present had direct contact with Gu Xun, and some had no contact but had seen Gu Xun's true appearance. After all, Gu Xun had spent most of his time in Songhai City in recent months, and he often traveled around.
stroll.
Therefore, everyone immediately recognized that the person driving the car was Gu Xun, the Imperial Grandmaster who was inferior to one person but surpassed ten thousand people.
Naturally, there is no other person who can let the Imperial Master drive for him personally. Of course, this is just the opinion of these Songhai officials. In fact, there are quite a few people who can let Gu Xun drive for him.
Songhai officials hurried forward to greet them and bowed in unison:
"My ministers, I respectfully welcome His Majesty the Emperor."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything, just hummed in the carriage in response.
This group of imperial officials didn't understand what the emperor meant, so they could only maintain a salute posture, with sweat stains on their faces - not from exhaustion, but from fear.
The emperor did not allow them to be freed, and his attitude seemed to be very dissatisfied with them...
Gu Xun knew Ying Zheng well and knew that he was either irritating these Songhai officials or he just didn't want to talk to them at the moment.
Ying Zheng had no rest at all that night, and was almost assassinated several times. He also suffered from migraine attacks, and his whole body was tortured to the point of confusion.
Although Gu Xun could help him relieve his physical discomfort, it could not completely eliminate Ying Zheng's fatigue... not to mention the factor of mental fatigue.
Now Ying Zheng just wants to rush into the city and find a safe place to rest. He really has no interest in dealing with these local bureaucrats who have their own agenda.
Of course, this does not mean that he will not deal with these Songhai officials.
When he regains his composure, he will not let anyone go and deal with everyone involved in tonight's turmoil, whether they are his own people within the imperial court or rebels who are hostile to the imperial court!
"Everyone knows that the emperor was attacked last night. Everything has not calmed down yet. The situation is special, so please keep it simple."
"Stop all the fancy scenes and lead the way into the city immediately."
"Yes yes yes!"
Songhai officials heard Gu Xun's words and responded hurriedly. They quickly arranged for the soldiers they brought to line up to lead the way and at the same time protected the carriage.
Gu Xun didn't care about this, and allowed these bureaucrats to arrange it, and continued to drive the carriage leisurely on his own.
The reason he ran so slowly was not because he was lazy, it was mainly because of Ying Zheng's consideration.
Ying Zheng was already feeling uncomfortable enough at this time. The carriage would bump when it ran fast, which would make him even more uncomfortable.
Gu Xun also had no solution to the problem of bumps, unless he used his true energy to pave a completely flat 'road' on the ground throughout the entire journey.
But this consumption is too great.
Gu Xun could do it, but felt it was unnecessary.
At this point, the originally lonely carriage became a team again.
Although the scale is far less than that of the Eastern Patrol Team, at least it doesn't look like ordinary people are on their way.
Because they really couldn't let go of the emperor's attitude, several of Songhai's most important officials did not ride in the carriage. They each rode their horses close to the carriage in order to keep abreast of the situation at any time.
Gu Xun drove lazily and asked lightly, "How is the situation in Songhai City?"
"If we return to the Imperial Guard, we immediately put the troops on guard and guarded them to death last night. So far, everything is as usual." The leading official quickly replied.
"Are you sure there's no problem?" Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"this……"
Gu Xun's attitude made the other party afraid to tell the truth, otherwise the responsibility would be his if something went wrong.
The most critical thing is that they have no confidence at all whether Songhai is safe enough.
They did not tell lies or big words, and indeed made their best efforts to arrange Songhai's defense - at this time, facing the emperor, none of them dared to play tricks.
The problem is that they are very confident about their abilities and know that even if they try their best, they will not be able to completely eliminate the rebels with evil intentions in the city.
For people, Songhai's martial law is just a change from their own back garden to their neighbor's back garden. Although it takes some effort, they can still come and go freely.
Seeing that they didn't dare to respond, Gu Xun showed an immoral evil smile:
"If you are not sure, just pray more in your heart."
"As the saying goes, one can only do it once, but it can never happen again. Since the emperor came to this land of Qilu, he has already encountered two well-planned assassinations. If it happens again, and there is such a long gap between the second time, you may not be able to explain it.
"
"Ah this..."
Gu Xun's words made all Songhai officials panic, with grim expressions on their faces but unable to say anything.
They could not guarantee that an assassination would not occur, and they could not excuse themselves, because incompetence was also a sin, and causing the emperor to be assassinated because of his own incompetence was an even greater sin.
Seeing the embarrassment of this group of officials who were in charge of the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the Songhai area, sweat was pouring from their foreheads. Gu Xunshi smiled and said nothing.
This group of people did not do things when they should, and even secretly colluded with those anti-Qin forces. Now that they are in trouble, it is too late to make amends.
In a word - deserve it!
………………
On the outskirts of Songhai, in another hidden stronghold of the Mo family.
At this time, the stronghold was already empty, except for the five people, Gai Nie Xiaoyao, Xue Nu, Shao Yu Tianming, who had taken refuge temporarily.
Chen He and Tian Heng had already parted ways with them to avoid the coming storm.
Wei Zhuang has also left. He was extremely benevolent in collecting money to do things, and he helped all the people he should and could help.
Gao Jianli then went to meet Master Ban and Tuozhi and the others. On the one hand, he asked about the situation of Qinglong, the organization. On the other hand, he also wanted to direct the remaining Mohist disciples in the Songhai area to evacuate completely as quickly as possible.
If Tianming's current situation wasn't unclear, the snow girl would also have left.
In the room, Xiaoyaozi put one hand on Tianming's wrist and stroked his beard regularly with the other. After a while, he took back his hand to check the pulse.
"How is Tianming?" Shaoyu, whose left hand had been reprocessed, asked quickly.
The injuries Tianming suffered before were not important, they could only be considered minor injuries anyway, but his inexplicable explosion later made people very worried.
That god can block the power of the killing god. Even Guigu Zongheng and his team can't stop him. It's really outrageous.
This kind of inexplicable explosion makes it difficult for people not to worry about whether his body will be affected.
"Little friend Tianming has no physical problems, and some of the minor injuries he suffered before have also recovered." Xiaoyaozi replied in a deep voice.
"Then why doesn't he wake up?" Snow Girl asked with a frown.
"I don't know why, but according to my guess, it seems to be a kind of protection." Xiaoyaozi said slowly, "The Mohist Zhenqi and Zongheng Zhenqi in his body are in a highly active state at this time, even the seals of the Yinyang family
The aura of the Sleeping Curse Seal and the Six Souls Terror Curse also appeared."
"That doesn't sound like a good situation." Shao Yu gritted his teeth after hearing this.
It's okay if the Qi is active, but it's not a good thing if the Yin Yang family's forbidden spells are also active.
"That's not necessarily the case." Xiaoyaozi replied with a smile, "Little friend Tianming's true energy has reached a balance with the Yin Yang family's spells. When they are strong, they are both strong, and when they are declining, they are declining. I can detect that the true energy has begun to decline."
"I think if I wait a little longer, it will become silent again."
"Then how long will he be in coma?" Shao Yu scratched his head and asked subconsciously.
Xiaoyaozi pondered for a moment, and then gave an estimated answer, "It may take a few hours at a short time, or a day or two at a long time."
"That's good." Shao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay to be in a coma for a day and a half, or even ten and a half months. It can be as short as three to five years, or as long as it's uncountable.
Gai Nie said, "Since the morning is clear, let's leave."
The snow girl nodded, "I'll ask Mr. Gai to take care of it tomorrow. I want to go ahead and meet up with Master Ben and the others."
"Please." Gai Nie nodded slightly and replied calmly.
Snow Girl clasped her fists and saluted the others, then left first.
Xiaoyaozi followed up and said, "I'm also going to make arrangements for the disciples of the Renzong, so I won't leave for now."
After saying that, he raised his hand and bowed before leaving.
Gai Nie looked at the last remaining Shao Yu, "Are you going to continue to follow me, or go back and join General Xiang Liang and the others?"
Shaoyu thought for a moment and decided to stay:
"I'll follow you first so that I can help carry Tianming on my back, so that you don't have to hold on to my hand."
Genie did not refuse.
He is much stronger than Shao Yu, but Shao Yu is much stronger than him. Even if one hand is injured, it is easy to carry Tian Ming on his back.
"Let's go." Ganie said calmly, and then walked out of the house.
Seeing this, Shao Yu brought his own things, then followed Tian Ming on his back.
According to the plan, Gai Nie will take Tian Ming back to the stronghold on the seaside, and then hide directly in the Xuanwu.
For a period of time after the Qinglong Project, the Mohist family will only retain the most basic manpower in the Songhai area.
Among them, the ordinary disciples lurk in the most remote places to protect themselves, while the top leaders hide in the body of the agency Xuanwu and act according to the opportunity.
………………
Inside Songhai City.
The sun still rises as usual, and its bright yellow light shines on the wide streets of Songhai.
However, in the past, the streets would have been bustling early in the morning, but today there was not a single pedestrian in sight, only the occasional heavily armed soldiers passing by.
In order to ensure safety, Songhai officials directly implemented the most thorough ban on movement. All Songhai people were forcibly restrained in their homes, and homeless wanderers were also driven to remote corners, ensuring that there were only patrols on the street.
The soldier could no longer see anyone.
Of course, this still cannot guarantee safety, because there is no guarantee that there will not be rebels lurking among these soldiers.
And there may be people hiding in every hidden corner around.
They can arrange for people to patrol back and forth, but it is impossible to keep an eye on them all the time.
In this regard, Songhai officials were desperate, but that was all they could do.
In the dead silence, Gu Xun drove the carriage into this very different Songhai City.
Seeing the local officials' tough-minded actions, Gu Xun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This kind of operation cannot prevent anyone who is interested, and it is meaningless except disturbing the people.
As Gu Xun drove the carriage towards the general's mansion, he asked the official leading the way:
"Songhai today is too deserted."
The other party quickly replied with an apologetic smile, "I am doing this to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor as much as possible. It will only take half a day at most, so the people can bear with it."
"Ha!" Gu Xun laughed, shook his head and commented, "You guys can do it."
"The inferior officials are incompetent, which makes the Imperial Master laugh." Faced with Gu Xun's implicit accusation, the other party could only bow his head and apologize, showing weakness and begging for mercy.
Gu Xun didn't bother to argue with him, since Ying Zheng would deal with them when he got back.
He calmly ordered, "You don't need to accompany me anymore. Please remove all the people around you."
"I understand."
The Songhai officials had some contradictory thoughts. They did not want to stay with the emperor's imperial advisors all the time, but they were also worried that leaving these two would cause them to lose their opportunities.
But it doesn't matter what they think. Anyway, they don't have the right to say no, so they can only retreat.
Gu Xun finally added, "Remember to send someone to the Xixiang Valley Road to pick up the convoy."
He brought Ying Zheng directly to Songhai, but a large number of people were left behind in the convoy, including many important officials of the empire and princes and nobles.
There is nothing to say about this kind of routine task. Local officials have already arranged people for it.
Then Gu Xun drove the carriage and quickly arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.
The defense of the General's Mansion has always been taken over by the Shadow Secret Guards. Zhang Han transferred most of his personnel last night, leaving only a few to maintain open sentries.
Seeing Gu Xun driving the carriage back, the members of the Shadow Guard on duty at the door were very confused. However, people who could enter the Shadow Guard generally had good minds, and they quickly vaguely guessed the possible answer.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, there are too few people who can let Gu Xun drive himself.
After hesitating for a while, they did not come forward to talk nonsense, but directly opened the door of the general's mansion to welcome the carriage.
Gu Xun was very satisfied with this. The people of Xindao Shadow Secret Guard have bright minds.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the carriage drove into the general's mansion, Ying Zheng was quickly settled.
It would be a troublesome thing for someone else to do it. All aspects of the matter must be taken into consideration to avoid neglecting His Majesty the Emperor, but Gu Xun is not so particular.
The residence where Ying Zheng settled was the place where Fu Su lived when he was in Songhai. It was also the best place in the General's Mansion.
The people who serve Ying Zheng are also the same people who served Fusu before - I don't know if these servants are the best Gu Xun.
But it doesn't matter.
Zhao Gao will not linger outside for too long. At most, he will arrive in the afternoon with the most suitable team of servants to take over taking care of Ying Zheng.
The people arranged by Gu Xun were just makeshift work, and Ying Zheng was exhausted at the moment and was focused on cultivation, so he had nothing to serve.
Before Ying Zheng took a break, he asked Gu Xun to take over the subsequent handling of the team on his behalf.
Gu Xun agreed immediately. Zhang Han would definitely be the one doing the work anyway, and he didn't have to put in much effort, so there was no need to refuse.
And as Ying Zheng entered the city to recuperate, the assassination last night began to spread to all corners of the world at an explosive speed.
There are too many people paying attention to the turmoil last night, too many people seeing the turmoil last night, and more importantly, too many people hoping that this turmoil will spread to the whole world... Even the Mohists are taking the initiative to promote the news.
Whether it's Ying Zheng's nearly assassination or the shocking appearance of Qinglong, it's the most eye-catching explosive news.
For the anti-Qin forces, this turmoil is not only wonderful, exciting, and extremely eye-catching, but it also has far-reaching and more significant significance.
In fact, the core issue of this turmoil - that is, Ying Zheng's situation is still a secret to most people. Even the Mohist family, the force that personally implemented the plan, does not know it.
