After a burst of sweet laughter, Jinniang's figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhang Kui was unwilling to give up, but he was unable to pursue it.
Yue Lingbo looked at the two people around him, didn't want to say more, turned around and headed towards the palace.
By this time, the rain had slowed down, and only the water on the ground confirmed the weather.
Small teams began to be dispatched from the most gloomy yamen in the capital.
In the darkness, a force that does not belong to Dahua is ready to move.
Because Jinniang's interception mission failed, more and more people seemed to be taking action in the capital.
The police officers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, no matter what their purpose is, as long as they find their whereabouts sneaky in the capital, they will eventually take action to arrest them.
But the current situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a bit special. There is no chief coordinator, and the whereabouts of Chunjiao, who was temporarily in charge, are unknown. In such an emergency, someone must step forward.
After some discussion in the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the tasks of each of the twelve divisions have been assigned. All personnel will follow the orders of Tianyu Division No. 2 and must clean up all foreigners who try to fish in the troubled waters of this heavy rain.
This Tianyu Division No. 2 is Long Er, who has had several encounters with Xia Shang.
Ever since Long Er was crippled after his first encounter with Xia Shang, the Grandmaster's strong physique has kept him alive, and he has not continued to languish after years of recovery.
He even saved his own life on Xiantao Mountain.
Not long ago, Xia Shang was dismissed from his post. Taking advantage of the return of a large number of members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Long Er also returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and continued to hold the position of No. 2 of the Tianyu Department.
In terms of seniority, Long Er can be said to be the oldest person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In terms of strength, even if he becomes disabled, not everyone can have the confidence of a veteran grandmaster.
The Key Tianyu Department has a special status and can even be superior to other departments.
Therefore, when the Metropolitan Procuratorate was leaderless, the appearance of Long Er could convince everyone.
In the current Metropolitan Procuratorate, the direct lineages cultivated by Xia and Shang are the most powerful, while Long Er is an external force.
But now the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in urgent need of a figure who can bring everyone together. Among Xia Shang's direct descendants, no one has this ability without Chunjiao.
Therefore, the Xia and Shang dynasties chose to compromise at this time.
, which is also a helpless move.
Seeing that more and more people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have begun secret operations, several of Xia Shang's subordinates are a little worried. They wonder if the division of power in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will change after this incident.
However, maintaining the stability of the capital is more important, and we cannot allow external forces to cause panic and thus affect the lives of the people.
In just a quarter of an hour, small-scale battles broke out inside and outside the capital. Although it was still raining, the entire capital became lively.
At this time, Xia Shang and Xue Lengxiang had arrived at the square outside the Jinluan Hall of the imperial palace.
In the huge square there were only a few eunuchs doing nothing in the rain, and a general in golden armor who was escorted in by two guards.
The two groups of people, all the way out, all the way in, soon got closer.
Xia Shang glanced at the golden-armored general and felt that there was a strong sense of hostility coming from him, as well as a bloody aura that was integrated into the bone marrow, giving people a gloomy feeling.
"Master, that person's aura is very strong..." Xue Lengxiang whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party's ears trembled slightly, as if he heard Xue Lengxiang's words, and turned his head to look at Xia Shang.
But the other party didn't take Xia and Shang seriously, and quickly strode forward with their eyes straight ahead.
The two guards following General Jinjia showed respect when they saw Xia Shang. They nodded to Xia Shang and called out: "Master Xia."
Xia Shang looked at the two people and thought about the six guards who had brought them in before. He would naturally consider whether the two of them were normal or not, and whether he should tell what happened in the palace just now.
Who should I tell? Who can check?
Xia Shang really has a lot of things to do now, but the most important thing now is to find Chunjiao, and he doesn't care about so many things anymore. If he doesn't answer, he will leave.
When the two groups of people passed each other, the golden-armored general suddenly raised his hand and put it on Xia Shang's shoulder.
Upon seeing this, Xue Lengxiang immediately pressed his sword against the joint of the general's wrist.
For most people, the joints under their wrists would be weak due to being pushed like this, but this general did not react at all. No matter how hard Xue Lengxiang applied, he remained unmoved.
At the same time, General Jin Jia gradually began to exert force on Xia Shang's hand, just as Xue
Just as Leng Xiang was using secret power on him, he was also secretly exerting power on Xia Shang.
The same thing happened again, and General Jin Jia was surprised to find that no matter how hard he tried, this weak-looking little man remained motionless as if nothing had happened.
In terms of strength alone, Xia Shang has never been afraid of anyone.
As long as it was not stabbed by a sword, it was not easy to cause damage to Xia Shang's body based on the power of physical contact alone.
General Jinjia seemed to have noticed this problem, and his hand relaxed.
Xue Lengxiang saw the other party release his strength and relaxed a little.
At this time, General Jin Jia glanced at the sword in Xue Lengxiang's hand and whispered: "You dare to hold a sword in the palace, you are really brave."
The guard beside him said: "General Qin, this is the queen's permission."
"Special..." General Qin frowned slightly, "The rules have changed a lot in the past few years when I have been away from the capital. After the queen took charge of the government, she actually dared to break the rules of our ancestors?"
Hearing this, the guards did not dare to say anything and lowered their heads, pretending that they had not heard anything.
After a few seconds of silence, General Jinjia withdrew his hand, and Xue Lengxiang also sheathed his sword.
But General Jin Jia walked directly to Xia Shang: "They just called you Mr. Xia. Could it be that you are the most favored Xia Shang in the capital in recent years?"
Xia Shang looked at the general again and said calmly: "It is true that he is Xia Shang, but he is not a favored person. If he is really favored, he will not be just a small boss now."
"It turns out it's really you! Do you know who this general is?"
"He should be one of the more capable generals in the New Taipei Army."
General Qin's brows jumped: "You still have some self-awareness. Since you know what this general is here to do, you should quickly show your true skills. I will tell you directly, this woman behind you is not me at all."
The general's rival."
After speaking, General Qin glared at the two guards around him: "You two, get out of the way!"
"General Qin, this is the imperial palace..."
The other party didn't care at all and glared at them again.
Now the two guards did not dare to say anything more and ran away.
