Chapter 1750 East Palace, the eldest princess is sick
Jinling City, Imperial Palace.
The cold winter wind blows into the palace, and the corridors and courtyards are quiet, a scene of silence.
Although the usual management of the palace is very strict, everyone is not like this.
Since the arrival of the ghost fetus, the entire palace has been like a ghost land.
Everyone was working with their heads down, and no one spoke. It was not that they were not allowed to speak, but that no one wanted to speak.
Everyone is worried that they may die at any time.
Yan Xi, the commander of the imperial army, hurried into the palace and quickly reached the imperial garden, where Guitai was admiring the snow.
Standing next to him were a group of scribes, including Yu Shinan, a great scribe from Nanliang who once competed with Long Chen in poetry.
A eunuch held a piece of paper and carefully recited a poem.
After listening to it, Gui Fei slowly tasted it, and the scribe who composed the poem shivered.
There were several human heads floating in the pond in the imperial garden. They were scribes who had just composed poems. Their poems were not to the devil's liking, so they were beheaded and their heads were thrown into the pond.
Before the ghost fetus could finish tasting it, Yan Xi hurried in.
The current inner court is different from the past.
In the past, the inner court was the emperor's harem. Only the emperor could enter, and no other men were allowed to enter.
It's different now, anyone can come in as long as the ghost fetus allows it.
"Holy Son, Long Chen was discovered in Longxing Valley!"
After hearing this, Guitai immediately stood up, turned to look at Yan Xi, and asked in surprise: "It's true!"
Yan Xi bowed and said: "The smoke is rising!"
Guitai said happily: "I knew this guy would go, it's really good!"
"Take the elite knights and set off immediately!"
Yan Xi originally thought that he would just let the elite hunt him down, but he didn't expect that Gui Fei would take action himself.
"I will obey your orders!"
Yan Xi immediately prepared, and Guitai took Long Ye and the five people out of the palace immediately.
When Yu Shinan and others saw the ghost fetus leaving, they were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground and cried.
"I almost died here today."
"Brother Shiheng, I'm sorry that your head is missing."
Yu Shinan immediately consoled him: "Everyone, we are still under a dangerous wall. This is not the time to cry. Let's go quickly."
The scribes then got up and stumbled out to go home.
When Yu Shinan returned home, his wife Jia came out to greet him and asked, "How about entering the palace today?"
Yu Shinan immediately whispered: "Take only Xinrou, take the two girls, and leave immediately!"
Jia asked in confusion: "Master just came out of prison, why did he leave?"
After Yu Shinan came back from Dou Shi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he thought about it and felt that Long Chen's literary talent was indeed superior to his own.
He wanted to go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and worship Long Chen as his teacher.
Naturally, Li Chengdao would not allow it. The most dignified scholar in Daliang actually worshiped Long Chen as his teacher. Where was Daliang's face?
Therefore, Yu Shinan has been detained under house arrest.
It was not until the past few days that the ghost boy suddenly wanted the scribe to recite poetry, so he was released.
Yu Shinan said in a low voice: "If we don't leave here, we will definitely be dead. Fifty-three of the scribes who have been reciting poems in the palace these days have died!"
Jia was so frightened that her face turned pale and she exclaimed: "How could this happen?"
Yu Shinan hissed: "Stop talking and deal with it immediately!"
Soon, Mrs. Jia packed up her things, and Yu Shinan prepared a carriage, took his two daughters with him, asked a trustworthy servant to drive the carriage, and immediately left the city and crossed the river, heading for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Guitai left the palace, and Yan Xi led the way. After leaving the south gate, Guitai suddenly said: "Go west, toward Linjiang City!"
Yan Xi was a little confused and said: "Holy Son, Longxing Valley is in the south."
Guitai sneered and said: "This guy is causing trouble in Longxing Valley. When we rushed over, this guy had already run away."
"If you want to intercept this guy, you must head toward Linjiang City to intercept him."
It takes time to get from Jinling City to Longxing Valley. If you rush from Jinling City to Longxing Valley and then pursue them, you will be at least a day and a half late and you will never be able to catch up.
Therefore, Guite's strategy is to head directly from Jinling City to Linjiang City.
The distance between Jinling and Linjiang City is shorter, and both are highways, so horse racing is faster.
Long Chen started from Longxing Valley and took all the mountain roads. Even though he had a time advantage, his speed was not as good as Gui Ti's.
Therefore, the ghost fetus can probably catch up.
Yan Xi suddenly said: "Holy Son, Holy Ming!"
Guitai and Yan Xi immediately turned their heads to the west, heading towards Linjiang City to intercept and kill.
...
Yu Fuguo took Wang Liang and others back to Longxing Valley. It was already night and the place was in a mess.
Entering the meeting hall, Yu Fuguo sat down, and Wang Liang called for Chen Lian.
At the same time, let your subordinates count the casualties and available people in the valley.
Chen Lian was carried in, covered in blood.
"Father-in-law..."
When he saw Yu Fuguo, Chen Lian burst into tears.
Yu Fuguo asked: "What on earth is going on! Our family just left, why is it over?"
Longxing Valley is the hard work of Guitei, and it is also the training ground for future generals of Daliang.
It's all over now!
Chen Lian cried loudly: "It's all Long Chen. He sent people to sneak into the valley to assassinate him. Countless people in the valley spontaneously combusted and are gone..."
Yu Fuguo asked: "Where are the Longchen people?"
Chen Lian shook his head and said: "This guy is cunning and my subordinates failed to catch him."
Yu Fuguo was shocked and asked: "Have you seen Long Chen?"
Chen Lian shook his head and said: "I didn't see it, but I found a few Eastern Zhou assassins."
Yu Fuguo asked: "Where are the people?"
Chen Lian cried: "They are dead. They committed suicide out of fear of crime. They all died of spontaneous combustion."
this...
Yu Fuguo was so angry that he yelled: "Trash!"
Chen Lian was upset at this time and kept crying.
He had been handling internal affairs within the Imperial City Division for a long time, and had never experienced such a brutal battle, and he showed signs of mental breakdown.
"Where's Liu An?"
Yu Fuguo suddenly thought of Long Chen and came here just to find Long Chen.
Chen Lian shook his head and said: "When the melee started, Liu An disappeared."
Yu Fuguo stood up and said angrily: "This guy is indeed a spy! Find it for me! If you want to see him alive, you want to see his body if you die!"
The surrounding imperial troops did not move, and Yu Fuguo felt that Long Chen should still be in the valley.
Wang Liang immediately asked people to search.
Yu Fuguo asked: "How is the situation in the valley?"
Wang Liang shook his head and said: "Everyone who participated in the training, from the court, from the Jianghu, died, and no one survived."
"The strange thing is that most of them died of spontaneous combustion, and the rest were either killed or poisoned."
Yu Fuguo asked in surprise: "Poisoned? What kind of poison was poisoned?"
Wang Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know, those people have red spots on their skin, as if they have been burned."
Hearing the word burning, Yu Fuguo guessed that this was probably the poison of the magic stone.
He knew some from the ghost fetus and some from rumors.
"Bring the body here."
Yu Fuguo ordered Wang Liang to immediately carry the body in and place it on the ground.
Yu Fuguo put on his gloves and carefully opened his clothes with a dagger. The skin and flesh inside were covered with dark red spots.
Moreover, these spots all showed signs of peeling, which looked like they had been burned by fire.
The strange thing is that this kind of burning by fire seems to be from the inside out.
Sure enough it is!
Yufuguo concluded that this was caused by the magic stone.
"Where's Liu An!"
Yu Fuguo had a vague suspicion in his mind.
Liu An and Long Chen may be the same person!
If it's the same person...
Yu Fuguo shivered all over.
If Liu An... Long Chen was still in the valley... Yu Fuguo's hands began to tremble.
No, he must have left, there is no way he could stay until now.
Yu Fuguo kept comforting himself, hoping that Long Chen had left.
After a while, Wang Liang came in and reported: "Father, Liu An ran away, and he also kidnapped the two female slaves in the room."
Hearing that Long Chen was not in the valley and had left, Yu Fuguo breathed a sigh of relief, as the threat of death was eliminated.
However, he began to worry about another thing.
Longxing Valley is heavily defended, and it is almost impossible for Long Chen to sneak in.
However, it was him who accidentally sent Long Chen into Longxing Valley, causing the current tragic situation.
How should I explain to the ghost fetus?
If Guitai knows that he was the one who recruited Long Chen into the Imperial City Division, and that he was the one who personally sent Long Chen in... he will die!
