After Huo Wuyong failed to detect the thief, he immediately apologized to the king and concubine, and compared with Ma Shunde who was still standing aside and sneered, it was like the sky and the earth.
Su Ziji's gaze at this time, when it glanced at Huo Wuyong, was obviously gentler. It was no longer as cold as before. I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, but his attitude on the surface did soften. He just waved his hand: "Master Huo
Just kidding, you are acting according to orders, what crime do you have?"
"Thanks to Mr. Huo for being loyal and faithful to his duties, the capital can be stable and peaceful."
Although he was a little bit weird, he was finally given a step... Huo Wuyong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As the king participated in the fight for the heir, there would be many enemies. As long as he did not form a deadly feud and was not among the top, things would be easy to handle.
He felt better, but Ma Shunde was even worse.
Discovering that Huo Wuyong actually gave in to the king, Ma Shunde secretly cursed "trash". Even now, he was still a little unwilling, so he went back to resume his duties. After this job was done like this, how could he show up in the emperor's presence in the future?
?
There is no way he will be suppressed by Zhao Thief again!
He finally managed to get ahead. If he continues to be suppressed, he will not be willing to die!
"Although Huo Wuyong is useless, he may not give up after bringing these people. If he doesn't dare to do it, then I will find someone else!"
Ma Shunde rolled his eyes and targeted the Taoists who had gathered together.
Although these people were following him and Huo Wuyong, they were another group of people. This time they were ordered to follow them and search everywhere. Although they did not mention the specific mission, judging from their expressions just now, it was certain that the mission had failed.
Be unlucky.
Compared to Ma Shunde who was just worried about losing face and losing power to the emperor, these people were probably worried more and in greater trouble, so they could encourage them...
Ma Shunde was pondering over how to think of a solution when suddenly he heard a noise coming from outside the gate of Prince Dai's Mansion.
The voices were noisy, each one louder than the other. At this moment, it was extremely harsh.
All the thoughts that had just occurred to him were interrupted by this interruption. Ma Shunde's face changed and he yelled in a sharp voice: "What's the matter?! Are there no rules anymore? Who is it! Get kicked out of our house!"
The faces of others also changed slightly. The errand tonight was already a disaster, why are there still people so indifferent?
At this moment, the door opened, and a man in black came in from the outside. He was obviously from the Imperial City Department. He looked embarrassed. Because he ran too fast, his clothes were disheveled and his hat was tilted. When he pounced in, he saw several Imperial City officials.
The hundred households of the Si were present with their armored soldiers, and the eunuch Ma Shunde was also present. Without caring about others, this man immediately rushed up and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good! King Qi has been assassinated!"
"What?" Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. King Qi was assassinated?
This is a big deal. To put it bluntly, it is even more serious than when the first king was assassinated in the capital!
After all, this was the first time that King Dai was assassinated, and he could be said to be unprepared. After what happened to King Dai, King Qi was actually assassinated in the capital, and many people were in danger if they had their heads on him.
Furthermore, although King Dai is now a prince, his foundation was unstable when he was assassinated. He only had a name, which was not as deep-rooted in the capital as King Qi. This was the emperor's own son! He was still a son whom he relied on very much!
When the King of Qi is assassinated, the whole capital will be in turmoil, and great changes are imminent.
Even Ma Shunde knew the seriousness of this matter. Without hesitation, he immediately shouted: "Why is King Qi assassinated? Hurry! Come with us!"
He didn't even bother to say goodbye to the king, so he immediately led the people and ran outside. Others followed him one after another. Suddenly, armored soldiers poured out like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, a large group of people disappeared.
Everyone in Dai Wangfu was stunned by this rapid development.
What type of situation is this?
First, someone led armored soldiers to surround the palace of Prince Dai, just to hunt down a big thief? As a result, after checking it all over, not even a hair on the thief was found? Now, news suddenly came that King Qi was assassinated?
It was a stormy night in the middle of the night. King Qi was staying in the palace. How could he be assassinated?
Each of these developments is really jaw-dropping.
But no matter how shocking it is, this matter has little to do with the Prince's Palace after all. No problems were found tonight. It seems that the serious crisis has dissipated, which makes people feel tired and tired, but also adds some other worries.
Some people looked at each other in confusion, especially at the critical moment. The soldiers who did not rush to the inner courtyard with their loyalists all felt a little guilty. At this moment, they were standing there, feeling a little at a loss.
Seeing this, Sun Ping looked at each other and shouted at these people: "What are you still standing here for? Everyone goes about their own errands!"
"It's gone, it's all gone!"
Even if there is a need for liquidation, it is not now. Sun Ping bowed and said, "It's raining cold outside, so please come in and rest."
Su Ziji was silent for a while after hearing this. He first helped Ye Buhui inside, served tea, wiped it with a towel, and then stood on the corridor and looked outside.
It was almost dawn, but it was very dark. In the pattering rain, some leaves were floating on the water in the small pit, sinking and floating, just thinking.
The wild Taoist stood on one side and asked, "Should we send someone to ask what happened?"
The investigation by Ma Shunde and others made Prince Dai's house get rid of the relationship. Everyone thought of this and felt awe in their hearts. He has been following Prince Dai for a long time and he has seen many such things. Is it God's will or a human conspiracy? This is really true.
Can't tell the difference.
"Well, I want to ask what happened." Su Ziji said, with a dark look in his eyes, he asked the little fox to manipulate King Qi, using the method of "transformation substitute wood" to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix, making Qi
The king's aura seemed to be his own, and he encouraged the King of Qi to leave the palace, and ordered people to kill Gui Junxi, which angered the ghosts and gods. The ghosts and gods took revenge, and naturally fell on the King of Qi who seemed to be the acting king.
What King Qi will encounter, whether he dies or not, is not something he can control. He can only wait for the follow-up news.
"[Transformed Yogi] looks really good. I don't know if the hidden chess piece that was used to trick Cao Yiyan worked. Also, I'm afraid it was rushed. I'm afraid there are still mistakes."
Just thinking about it, he turned around and saw that all the retainers were deep in thought, especially Wen Xunpeng, who looked thoughtful and didn't take it seriously. Seeing Huidao's face pale, Su Ziji frowned slightly and said with some concern: "
Master, are you afraid that you got caught in the rain or caught a cold? You'd better go back and rest quickly."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Huidao didn't refuse. After speaking, he turned around and left. As a result, when he stepped out of the door, he missed the step and almost fell to the ground.
"Zhenren!" The Taoist boy was nearby and hurriedly supported him.
Jian Qu, who was not far away, happened to see this scene. He frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "Why is the Taoist so unintimidated? Is he a liar?"
Hui Dao listened but said to Tao Tong in a low voice: "Go back quickly."
The Taoist boy didn't know what happened to his master and was very anxious. But since the master said it, he could only support him and walk back.
As soon as they arrived at their own yard, Hui Dao's throat felt itchy and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Master, are you okay!" The Taoist boy shouted in fright.
"Don't panic, go get the basin quickly!" Huidao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and ordered weakly.
"Zhenren!" How could he still go get water and take care of him after it was already so long? The Taoist boy was speechless, but with such insistence, he had no choice but to turn around and go get water.
Because I was in a hurry, I didn't take the basin and just filled a plate.
"Real person, take a look..."
When the Taoist boy came back with the water dish and looked at it, Hui Dao had a complicated expression on his face. After a long time, he sighed: "Oh, Mengxi, my disciple. It seems that we will never get off the boat again."
