Shen Wanjin and the others rode outside the city and saw the Forbidden Army wearing armor and holding swords and guns inspecting and patrolling. There were many bloody heads hanging on the city walls, including men and women, old and young.
"The Qiuzitang incident has come to a head, and Xixia actually attacked one of its own people."
Black Wind said slightly surprised.
Although they were assassins and were used to killing people and setting fires, these heads were nothing.
But the imperial guards of the Western Xia Royal City killed their own people and hung their heads on the city. This was outrageous.
"How do we get in?"
Heifeng turned around and asked Gan Xin.
Gan Xin was not in a hurry and said to Shen Wanjin: "Master, please come with me."
The three of them dismounted outside the city, and a team of carriages came over.
Xingqing City is the capital of the Xixia Kingdom, so of course Gan Xin has his subordinates here.
After changing their clothes, the three of them followed the convoy and successfully passed the inspection and entered the city.
Almost only the Forbidden Army and Jingzhao Mansion policemen could be seen on the streets in the city. The sound of horse hooves passed quickly as the policemen searched from house to house.
You can see notices posted on the road that Jingzhao Mansion is still looking for Long Chen and Zhu Er.
Heifeng glanced at the notice and whispered: "Why does the person with this reward notice look like Long Chengen?"
Shen Wanjin sneered and said: "I think it's him, sneaking into the palace, pretending to be a eunuch, and kidnapping the maids. Isn't this his old job!"
Heifeng laughed softly and said: "Long Chengen sneaked into the palace and only kidnapped a palace maid? I don't believe it."
Shen Wanjin smiled and said, "Only he knows what he did in the palace."
The three of them entered Gan Xin's stronghold. After changing their clothes, the three of them sneaked into Zhaoti Temple and waited for Kong Ji to return.
The interior of Zhaoti Temple was in a mess, many temples were burned down, Qiuzi Hall was burned to the ground, and charred corpses were placed in the yard.
There are believers and there are monks.
The weather was hot, and the corpse attracted a swarm of flies, making a buzzing sound. The stench filled the entire temple, and even the sandalwood incense could not suppress it.
There is a coffin placed in the Demon-Conquering Hall, and the monk is delivering the coffin. It is the dismembered monk Hong Zhi.
In the absence of Kongji, Puxuan went to Us as an envoy, Hongzhi died, and the temple was leaderless. Queen Lu ordered the imperial army to take over Zhaoti Temple.
Shen Wanjin and the others lurked in the abbot's room until dark and then the next morning.
Monk Kongji never appeared.
Gan Xin said: "Master, is it possible that Kongji returned to Yangcheng and did not come to Xingqing City?"
The words awakened the dreamer, and Shen Wanjin fell into a dead end in his thinking. He felt that Kongji must return to Zhaoti Temple to take charge of the overall situation.
But I never thought that Kongji could go back to Yangcheng, which would be safer.
"Yes, if this bald donkey returns to Zhaoti Temple, he should be there anyway."
"If he didn't show up, it means he returned to Yangcheng."
Shen Wanjin felt very unhappy and made a serious mistake in judgment this time.
Black Wind asked: "Shall we go back?"
Shen Wanjin felt unhappy and said: "Gan Xin, set a fire and burn it down."
Gan Xin nodded, and Shen Wanjin and Heifeng left Zhaoti Temple first.
Not long after leaving, a fire broke out in the abbot's room, which quickly spread to other temples, making a crackling sound, and the flames suddenly shot up to the sky.
The monks in the temple were frightened and scattered in panic, and the imperial army rushed to put out the fire.
After coming out of Zhaoti Temple, Shen Wanjin and the others immediately changed their clothes and rode back to Yangcheng on their fast horses.
This time, Shen Wanjin ran away in vain.
...
Xixia Palace.
Hong'er hurriedly entered Concubine Li's courtyard. Several palace maids were working hard to cook the dough, but the result was always wrong.
Entering the bedroom, Hong'er saw Concubine Li sitting there with a gloomy face enjoying the cool air, with two palace maids kneeling behind her.
Concubine Li was in a bad mood, and the palace maids also suffered.
"My dear, Master Li said he still can't find it."
Hong'er said carefully.
Concubine Li stared at Hong'er with sharp eyes. Hong'er was so frightened that she knelt down and didn't dare to look up.
Others don't know, but Hong'er has a clear conscience. Long Chen did that kind of thing to Li Guifei. It's normal for Li Guifei to want to kill Long Chen.
"How's it going at Zhaoti Temple?"
Concubine Li suddenly changed the subject, and Hong'er immediately replied: "I don't know what happened just now, but there was another fire. The Imperial Army is still putting out the fire."
Concubine Li tapped her fingers on the railing. The sound was very soft, but Hong'er felt that her heart was beating along with the tapping sound.
"That's all, tell the governor, she's just a eunuch and a maid, I'm not looking for her anymore."
"In the critical moment of the imperial court, it doesn't matter if two people are lost in the palace. The most important thing is to be optimistic about the royal city."
Concubine Li suddenly understood that as long as Long Chen never showed up, it would not have happened.
As for herself, she had asked her brother Li Siliang to prepare medicine and secretly drank the medicine to prevent dark knots in the bead.
No one knows about this anymore.
If we continue to mobilize troops to pursue him, it will appear that there is no silver in this place.
Hong'er didn't expect Concubine Li to say this. Although she was confused, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He quickly bowed and said, "I will go and inform Master Li right away."
Concubine Li waved her hand, and her gloomy mood became cheerful.
She even missed that night in the bathroom. Xiao Lizi's body was so good, a hundred times better than Shi Le's.
If you keep Little Plum by your side, playing songs every night will not be a dream.
Hong'er immediately left the palace and went to Jingzhao Mansion to report.
Hong'er was very scared every time she went to Jingzhao Mansion. She never saw Xue'er again.
Everyone else said that Xue'er was killed by the rioters in the city. Only Hong'er knew that the person who killed Xue'er must be Li Siliang.
Because Xueer knew something she shouldn't know.
Hong'er was so scared that she even thought about blending in with the mob and escaping.
But she stayed in the end, thinking that as long as she kept her mouth shut, she would be safe.
After entering Jingzhao Mansion and meeting Li Siliang, Hong'er conveyed Concubine Li's wishes.
Li Siliang thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Yes, the national crisis is at the forefront, how can we do it for our own selfish interests?"
"Tell Concubine Li that I know."
Hong'er immediately resigned, left Jingzhao Mansion, and returned to the palace.
When Hong'er entered the palace, a maid hurried back to Queen Lu's palace.
Entering the bedroom, I found that Queen Lu was not in the palace.
"Where's the queen?"
"I went to the East Palace to see the crown prince."
The palace maid nodded. She heard that Shi Haoran wanted to go to Yangcheng to fight again, and Queen Lu went to persuade him.
After so long, Shi Haoran's injuries have improved a lot. The wounds have healed, but his body is thin and looks very haggard.
The feather arrow pierced the chin, which affected his ability to eat and made him lose weight. It is normal.
Queen Lu felt that if Shi Haoran went to the front line in this state, whether he could come back alive was a question.
She didn't want her precious prince to die at the hands of Long Chen.
"The queen returns to the palace."
As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Lu came in from outside, followed by a group of eunuchs and maids.
"Empress."
Everyone bowed down together.
The queen glanced at the palace maid and continued walking inside. The palace lady immediately understood and got up and followed Queen Lu into the room.
After closing the door, Queen Lu sat down, and the maid brought two basins of ice over.
"How about it?"
Queen Lu asked coldly, and the palace maid immediately replied: "To answer the question, Queen, Hong'er from the imperial concubine's courtyard has just gone to Jingzhao Mansion."
"The detectives from Jingzhao Mansion have stopped arresting Xiao Lizi and Zhu'er. They are doing their best to maintain order in the city."
After hearing this, Queen Lu frowned slightly and said in deep thought: "No more arrests? That means this matter is not important. Could it be that I am overthinking it?"
Compared to the war in Yangcheng and the rebellion in Zhaoti Temple, the abduction of a palace maid by a eunuch was really not a big deal.
Queen Lu suspected that she was thinking too much.
