Concubine Li looked at Hong'er in astonishment and asked, "Isn't Liu Feng a eunuch?"
Hong'er nodded, and Concubine Li asked: "Then what are you seducing?"
Hong'er stretched out two fingers and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Liu Feng is lustful. Everyone knows that the queen even gave Shui Yun to him."
Of course Long Chen and Hong'er had more than just their fingers, Hong'er was lying.
Concubine Li said with contempt: "A eunuch, hey, thinks he is Long Chengen, disgusting!"
Contempt is nothing but contempt. Since the news is reliable and the messenger may arrive in the royal city tonight or tomorrow, then the matter is serious.
"Go and report to the governor and tell him the news."
Concubine Li ordered, Hong'er gritted her teeth and immediately reported the news to Jingzhao Mansion.
While Hong'er was talking in the bedroom, a palace maid squatted in the corner outside the window and eavesdropped.
She didn't hear it very clearly. She only vaguely heard the messenger...night...a few key words.
After Hong'er left, the palace maid immediately sent the news out of the palace.
Forbidden Army Yamen.
Zhou Hao walked into the room and said anxiously: "Your Highness, there is news from Concubine Li's palace that the Queen has indeed sent a letter, and the messenger may come back tonight or tomorrow."
Shi Yuncheng stood up and asked, "Where did you get the news about Concubine Li?"
Zhou Hao said: "Hong'er in Concubine Li's palace hooked up with Liu Feng and exchanged her body for information."
Zhou Hao said: "Hong'er in Concubine Li's palace hooked up with Liu Feng and exchanged her body for information."
Shi Yuncheng was stunned for a moment and found it funny for no reason: "Hooking up a eunuch?"
Zhou Hao didn't want to worry about whether he was a eunuch or not, and said: "Your Highness, if the king knows..."
Shi Yuncheng immediately said: "That was also Concubine Li's assassination. Furong was killed by Murong Hua! It has nothing to do with us!"
Zhou Hao nodded silently.
Shi Yuncheng wants to shirk the responsibility, which is a good idea, but will Shi Le believe it?
Especially the queen and the crown prince, what will they say?
"There is another way."
Shi Yuncheng looked at Zhou Hao and said: "There are rebels around, and the messenger was killed by the rebels..."
Shi Yuncheng's intention was very clear, which was to kill the messenger and frame him as a frame for the rebels.
Zhou Hao thought for a while and said: "It's feasible!"
Shi Yuncheng nodded, and Zhou Hao left the Forbidden Army Yamen...
Night falls.
The braziers on the walls surrounding Xingqing City were burning dry firewood, and Marquis Wu and the Forbidden Army were patrolling, looking a little strange.
There were also many soldiers patrolling the main streets in the city, especially around the palace, and the atmosphere was very tense.
Liu Mansion.
Long Chen came out of Hanxiang's room and entered the pharmacy. The manservant asked: "Are you going out now?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Guard the door of the pharmacy and don't let anyone in."
Long Chen entered the pharmacy, went out through the secret passage, and arrived at the old house.
Zhe Er is already waiting.
"grown ups."
Long Chen patted the dirt on his body. This secret passage was too crude and he would get covered in dirt every time.
"Where are the people?"
Long Chen put on the clothes of a Xixia soldier, wore thin armor underneath, and brought a waist knife and a crossbow.
In fact, killing Zhou Hao doesn't have to be so troublesome, but Long Chen is used to being cautious, so he still has a lot of armor and weapons.

"At the post station twenty miles east of the city, Zhou Hao led twelve people, all of whom were good people."
Feng He inquired very clearly and his intelligence ability was very good.
Long Chen nodded and said: "You can take action."
Zhe'er bowed and said, "Yes!"
Long Chen and Zhe'er left the old house at the same time.
Coming out of the old house, Long Chen passed over the roof and reached the edge of the east gate.
Taking advantage of the patrol break of the soldiers, Long Chen jumped over the city wall and landed outside the city.
According to the location mentioned by Zhe'er, Long Chen found a horse.
The moon is not clear in the sky, and stars are scattered in the black night sky. It is difficult to see the road clearly at night.
Fortunately, Xixia is arid and there are not many trees, so horse racing at night is no problem.
Long Chen rode his horse and quietly left the royal city, heading for the post station twenty miles east.
The distance of twenty miles is not far, because at night, Long Chen's speed is not very fast.
When arriving at the inn, Long Chen deliberately went around to the east of the inn, pretending to be coming from the east.
"Xu..."
Long Chen stopped at the inn and hurriedly dismounted and entered.
There was a man in official uniform inside, who should be Yi Cheng.
Yi Cheng is the person in charge of the post station, equivalent to the station master.
Long Chen entered the post house and shouted: "Change horses, water!"
Yi Cheng saw that Long Chen was wearing a military uniform with a messenger's badge hanging on his waist, and concluded that Long Chen was the messenger returning from Guancheng.
"Sir, are you from Guancheng?"
Yi Cheng immediately came up enthusiastically, but he did not call the servants to change Long Chen's horse, nor did he bring tea.
Long Chen said displeasedly: "If I want to drink water, I have to change my horse!"
After being scolded, Yi Cheng turned to the inspector and said, "Water!"
After being scolded, Yi Cheng turned to the inspector and said, "Water!"
The inspector immediately brought water over. Yi Cheng poured a bowl of water for Long Chen and said with a smile, "Sir, please drink some water."
Long Chen grabbed the water bowl and was about to drink it when he put the water bowl down again and ordered: "Drink!"
Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sir, this is water for you."
Long Chen said angrily: "If you don't drink, is it possible that the water is poisonous?"
Yi Cheng was stunned and said: "Sir, I am Yi Cheng, how could I poison you?"
Long Chen snorted coldly: "I heard that someone in the royal city is going to rebel. Isn't it normal for you to poison me?"
After hearing this, Yi Cheng showed joy on his face, straightened up and said with a smile: "You are indeed from Guancheng. Do you have the King's decree on you?"
When Long Chen saw Yi Cheng acting like this, he became even more angry and said, "You know I have a holy decree and you still dare to do this! Believe it or not, I will sue you in front of the king!"
Yi Cheng chuckled and said, "I'm afraid, so I want to kill you!"
Three forbidden soldiers suddenly appeared outside the door, with long knives in their hands and sarcastic smiles on their faces.
"The queen indeed sent the letter."
Zhou Hao walked in from the backyard, smiling and sitting next to Long Chen, with seven forbidden soldiers standing behind him.
Yi Cheng, patrolling, there are three outside the door and seven behind him, a total of twelve people, everyone is here.
"Are you... Commander Zhou?"
Long Chen pretended to be frightened and stood up slightly...
Zhou Hao put a hand on Long Chen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, sit down and talk, don't be so polite."
Seeing that Long Chen was afraid, Zhou Hao felt a little proud.
As the commander of the Imperial Army, he has some authority.
Long Chen sat down in horror and looked around at the Imperial Guards around him. A large layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Why is Commander Zhou here?"
Long Chen asked with a trembling voice, his hands trembling on the table.
