Seeing this, Ma Shunde smiled and ordered: "Go knock on the door!"
He also followed a few armored soldiers. This kind of thing was naturally their business. Immediately, the armored soldiers came forward. One of them raised his hand and slapped on the gate of the palace.
"Open the door, open the door quickly!"
Because he came with the imperial envoy to do this kind of thing, Jia Bing also didn't care at all that this was the Prince's Palace.
After all, what is a prince compared to imperial power?
The palace concierge had actually been alerted for a long time, but a qualified concierge had to delay a little longer to give the owner time to react.
Therefore, the door was not opened immediately. Instead, he walked closer in the rain and asked: "Who is calling the door? May I ask which yamen you are from? What are you doing here late at night?"
Hearing this, Ma Shunde did not answer. There was a light at the door, and his entourage brought a light, which shone on his stern face, showing his indifference and expression.
Soldier Jia's voice was louder: "The imperial envoy is here to carry out errands for the prince's palace. Open the door quickly!"
Imperial envoy?
The porter only took a look through the crack in the door and knew that what he said was true. If someone from the palace came and smashed the door of the palace in such a late night, something serious had happened!
Not daring to delay any longer, the concierge inside immediately replied: "Please wait a moment, the door will be opened right now!"
Then I heard the sound of the door opening coming from inside. As the door was pushed open with a creak, people from outside rushed in.
As soon as the concierge opened the door, he was shocked when he saw the battle outside.
"Everyone, everyone, it is already late at night, and the king has fallen asleep. Since the imperial envoy has arrived, I will go and send a message to wake up the king and let him come to welcome him!"
"No need!" Ma Shunde stepped forward, and the little eunuch hurriedly trotted to catch up, holding his umbrella high, and heard a sharp voice saying: "Our family has been ordered to capture the thief, so we didn't wait for the report and surrounded him first!"
"Yes!" The soldiers poured into the palace from Zhaobi. Upon hearing the order, the dark armored soldiers immediately poured in along the road. They took three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, standing with their swords pressed and their eyes fixed.
Late at night in the rain, this situation is twice as frightening.
The concierge knew that something big had happened, and was immediately shocked by this scene. Ma Shunde gave a cold look, sneered, and ignored him. He felt that such a person was as timid as a mouse and had nothing to pay attention to.
I kind of believe it when Shi Zheng fell asleep.
"That's good." Ma Shunde thought to himself: "This shows that our family came quickly and did not alert the snake."
After all, he said he was looking for big thieves, but in fact he was just using this name to search Prince Dai's palace!
If Dai Wangfu had made preparations in advance, what else would he be searching for?
But I also know that if the incident happened suddenly, even if King Dai was aware of it, he would not be able to think of a way to deal with it. If there is a problem, it will definitely be dug out!
There is no enmity between him and King Dai, but Eunuch Zhao, whom he suppressed, has contacts with King Dai. The enemy of his enemy is his friend. In the same way, the friend of his enemy is naturally his enemy!
Normally, I would forget about it. If I was given a chance now, I would naturally want to press the King of Dai down. Not only would I be able to relax and sit back and relax, but it would also satisfy my secret desires.
"Hey, don't look at us as slaves of the royal family, but on behalf of the king, your life and death are all in our hands."
"The only hateful thing is that even if we obey the order, our family still doesn't know what we are searching for, and we have to find a bandit not far away to do it."
Thinking of this, Ma Shunde couldn't help but frown, and strode straight in.
Huo Wuyong followed closely behind the little eunuch. Seeing this, he could only shake his head gently again.
What can be done?
The matter fell into his own hands, and even if he had a grudge against Dai Wang, he had no way to stop it, and he could only keep up.
Otherwise, if you are given a big label by this villain, even if the emperor has his own place and there will be no major punishment, it will be really troublesome.
"The imperial envoy is here."
When there was such a big movement, Prince Dai's palace was naturally in chaos. There were people making noises, and lights were turned on in batches. In a short time, it went from pitch black to brightly lit, with the sounds of children crying among the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs.
A short half street away, there is a wine shop. It seems to have been newly built. The three-story restaurant is very spectacular. This is also the highest floor allowed for ordinary shops in the capital.
At this time, the highest floor of the restaurant was paved with red boards, with partitions and carved pillars. It was very elegant. What was strange at this time was that there was no light. A window was slightly opened, and the room was dark. Someone had come to the window and looked at
Climb up and take a look.
Ordinary people can probably only see a few lights in the distance, but the person standing here is actually Liu Zhan, whom Huo Wuyong and Ma Shunde just mentioned before.
With his eyes, he can naturally see farther and more clearly.
Outside the palace, a half-ring-shaped torch was slowly pressed down. There were thousands of them. Although they were silent, they gave off a murderous atmosphere.
He stood upstairs and looked at this familiar scene. His body trembled, and he suddenly looked back and asked the person behind him: "You are also working in the imperial alchemy room. The emperor is collecting medicine. Is there a clear eight-leaf clover in it?"
The middle-aged Taoist replied: "Yes."
Because this middle-aged Taoist was one of the people involved in alchemy, but neither the emperor nor Huo Wuyong knew that this Taoist was actually Liu Zhan's.
Liu Zhan heard this and stood looking out for a while, looking at the fire in silence.
Twenty years ago, the scene outside the Prince's Mansion seemed exactly the same as this.
No, it's more serious, after all, he is the prince.
It is said that there are three Beijing armies in the capital that are vaguely related to the prince. Wouldn't the emperor be more attentive?
The current generation of kings is far from this level.
But even if there are some differences, the situation is similar. Even if it is not certain, it can be guessed based on the emperor's age and recent actions.
"Repay... Qiqiao Exquisite Heart..." Liu Zhan shook his head and sighed, and suddenly he had a clear understanding: "So that's how it is."
After hearing this, the Taoist beside him didn't dare to reply. He hesitated for a while and asked, "Master, is it bad if you don't agree to go with me?"
"The Emperor has no decree for me to go, but the two of them want me to cooperate." Liu Zhan said calmly without looking back, "You will die a good death if you get involved in this kind of thing."
"Don't look at the few people below. They are all successful in cultivation, but all of them have the appearance of dying."
The people he mentioned were not only Huo Wuyong, but also several people with different expressions from the others beside Huo Wuyong and Ma Shunde.
These are all Taoist masters who came in casual clothes!
In fact, with Liu Zhan's eyesight, he couldn't see their faces, let alone their faces clearly, but he still concluded that they must be dead!
"Those who cooperated to force the prince to be killed back then would end badly. This is a lesson learned from the past."
Although this is not permanent, Liu Zhan naturally intends to avoid this kind of cause and effect that may lead to death.
Huo Wuyong and others are in the game, so naturally they can't tell, but with Huo Wuyong's character, he might not go too far.
Whether we can escape and how many people can survive this time depends on God's will.
Just as he was speaking, Liu Zhan was startled, turned his head, frowned, and looked in another direction, his expression even more solemn.
The middle-aged Taoist was surprised and wanted to ask, but he already heard Liu Zhan murmuring: "Why did King Qi leave the palace at this time?"
