After changing into the costume, Nangong Xiuqi swaggered and retreated to the conference hall along the same road with Xia'er. However, in order to be recognized by the queen and Princess Baoyue, Nangong Xiuqi lowered his head tightly and looked at his feet. He looked very strange. However, the servants entering and leaving here all lowered their heads, so in the eyes of others, there was no difference in his like this.
After entering the conference hall, Nangong Xiuqi quietly glanced at the surrounding situation. It was very large, with a radius of nearly a hundred feet. Four stone pillars thick in adult arms stood at the four corners of the hall, supporting this stone roof that weighed thousands of pounds. The underground was paved with stone bricks. Although it lacked luxury and comfort, it exuded a sense of atmosphere and stability, and was very suitable as a serious conference place.
The queen and Princess Baoyue sat on two large animal leather chairs on the level 6 in front of the hall, looking down at the bottom.
Fu Yuniang and his group sat on both sides of the lower head. Each of them respectfully stood one or two maids from behind to serve tea and add water at any time. In addition, many servants stood around with their hands hanging down, maintaining a state of obedience at any time.
In this situation, let alone Nangong Xiuqi lowered his head, even if he raised his head and chest, he would not be discovered, because no one would look at this group of low-key servants, especially Princess Baoyue, staring at Fu Yuniang and her group directly below, and then spoke in her crisp but not tender voice: Madam, are all the generals and officials of Guichou City here?
Except for the generals who were on duty at Guichou Pass, the rest were already present.
OK, Eunuch Li, then I will announce the edict.
The servant obeys the order!An eunuch standing at the lower head bowed to Baoyue and turned to face everyone, opened the scroll of the imperial edict, and said in his sharp voice: In line with the will of heaven, Emperor Zhaori: I heard that He Sifang, the general of Guichou City, died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country. The whole country was very sad. I am grateful to his loyalty for the country, and I specially posthumously named the Marquis of Zhongguo and gave his family a thousand gold to show his merits!However, Guichou City is an important border town and cannot be without a leader. Therefore, Princess Baoyue was specially sent to take over the position of general and gave Shangfang a sword to order the entire army. If anyone is not controlled, he will be executed immediately!I’m so proud of this!
Thank you for your kindness!Fu Yuniang was not surprised by this result and calmly accepted the imperial edict.
Baoyue raised a smug smile on the corner of her mouth and said softly: Madam knows the general and has great righteousness. She is truly a hero among women.After this palace returns to Jing'an City, it is decided to ask for me for me.
Fu Yuniang smiled softly, and when she was about to say something, Baoyue turned her tone: Where are General Zimao and General Zhang Meng?
Zimao and Zhang Meng looked at each other, then stood up and bowed: The last one is here!
Do you know your guilt?Baoyue said in a cold tone.
Zimao and Zhang Mengjun were shocked. The two looked at each other and then said in unison: I don’t know.
Baoyue snorted coldly and said: Zichi, as the commander of the personal guards, it is your responsibility to protect General He, but what about now?General He died tragically on the battlefield, but you sat here intact, and you dare to say that you are not guilty?
I... Zimao didn't know how to defend himself for a moment.
Indeed, the reason why the personal guards are called the personal guards is to protect the safety of the head coach personally. Now that the head coach is dead, at first glance, he, the commander of the personal guards, does bear an unshirkable responsibility; however, in fact, there is some subtle difference from this, that is, the head coach dies on the battlefield rather than on the battlefield, and there is an essential difference between the two.
However, how can you think of the difference between the two with a clumsy mouth?
Baoyue didn't allow him to have time to defend himself, so he shouted sternly at Zhang Meng: And you, Zhang Meng, as the commander of the city defender, have failed to resist the enemy and improper methods, which has caused us to suffer heavy losses. What should you blame?
Zhang Meng was both surprised and angry. He thought he was trying hard to defend Guichou Pass. Even if he had no credit, he would have worked hard. No matter how bad he was, he would not be guilty. Naturally, he was very dissatisfied. However, before he could say something, Baoyue shouted again: Come, push them out and behead them!
Everyone present, including Nangong Xiuqi, was surprised. Unexpectedly, Baoyue would use such fierce means. Zichi and Zhang Meng's expression changed drastically. They looked at Fu Yuniang together. Fu Yuniang naturally could not sit idly by. She quickly stood up and said: Empress, Princess, this matter must not be done. Now that the enemy is in front of you, you must not be distracted!
The queen was expressionless from beginning to end, and she didn't say a word. At this time, even the stupidest man could see that the queen was just a foil. The real master was Princess Baoyue, but she had to do her face. So Fu Yuniang was asking the queen and the princess on the surface, but she only looked at Baoyue.
Madam, what you mean is that this palace is not doing well.Baoyue smiled sinisterly.
Fu Yuniang was stunned and then said: I don’t have this intention, I just...
Just don't!Baoyue interrupted her, why are she still standing there?Push it out and kill it!
Hearing this, the iron-armored soldiers on both sides rushed up and rushed towards Zi Qiao and Zhang Meng respectively. Fu Yuniang saw that she was anxious. She didn't expect that things would turn so quickly. She thought that as long as she was perfunctory on the surface, she could just do it, but Princess Baoyue actually started to eliminate dissidents and seize military power. You must know that Zi Qiao and Zhang Meng were both generals holding heavy troops. Taking over the military power in their hands was basically equivalent to controlling Guichou City.
Bah, if you want to add a crime, why don’t you have any words?Zimao shouted loudly.
He had long been determined to rebel, so he almost didn't make it clear. Now that his life is in danger, he naturally broke up and resisted.
Zhang Mengben was still hesitant, but seeing that Zijiu was like this, he felt that he could not just sit and wait for death, so both of them waved their palms and fought with the iron armored guards who were pounced on them.
Suddenly, the huge convention hall was in chaos, and there were shouts, shouts, the sounds of tables and chairs falling over, the sounds of bowls and cups falling to the ground, and the screams of maids.
Zichi and Zhang Meng are both military generals, and their martial arts are not weak. However, the iron-armed guards are all elites selected by Princess Baoyue from the Imperial Guards. Both of them are impeccable in their personal abilities and group cooperation abilities. So without ten moves, they were attacked by a group of iron-armed guards without any ability to fight back.
Fu Yuniang was very anxious, but she was helpless. She was just a weak woman, and she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to help. She was surrounded by iron armored guards brought by Bao Yue. All of their own trusted guards were outside the mansion and could not know the situation here.
Nangong Xiuqi on the other hand was also hesitating whether to take action?
However, at this moment, a clear roar shocked everyone's eardrums in the hall. Nangong Xiuqi was shocked and looked up. Baoyue, who was sitting on a large chair with a six-story stairs, waved her hands, and two cold lights shot out. Then he heard two screams. A ball of faint fire broke out from Ziji and Zhang Meng's body. The dark blue flames instantly swallowed them. The miserable and creepy howling sounded throughout the hall, but soon silently, and the two living people turned into ashes.
This scene happened so quickly and suddenly that it was too late for Nangong Xiuqi to rescue him, so he suppressed his impulse and hid in the corner with other panicked servants to continue to watch the changes. At the same time, he was also secretly surprised. He knew that Baoyue's hand was the unique skill of the ghost mother in the Mingshan...the ghost fire in the underworld, and looking at that posture, it was quite hot.
Fu Yuniang's face was extremely ugly at this time, and the others looked even more like earth. Baoyue saw it and snorted coldly: Who else dares to disobey?These two are your end.
No one in the hall dared to respond again, and the silence was a little scary. Baoyue felt proud. She knew that she had killed someone and established her authority as the right way.
Before she came, she had already thought of a countermeasure, that is, to be able to show goodwill to some insignificant people at will, but the vital military power must be in her own hands. She had already found out that after He Sifang's death, only the commander of the city guards Zhang Meng and the commander of the personal guards Zijiu, who knew nothing about these two people, let alone had any friendship. Therefore, she felt that it was very difficult to win over them, and she could not keep her loyalty. So she decided to just do it and kill them, and end it all.
In fact, this is a dangerous move, and if it is not done well, it will cause a mutiny among the soldiers. Therefore, Baoyue took the opportunity of reading the imperial edict to gather the main soldiers and civil servants, and then surrounded them with the imperial guards he brought to cut off their connection with the outside world.
Although Princess Baoyue is very young, she is very smart and means. Her killing and seizing power was very successful, and she immediately shocked the civil servants and generals present, including Fu Yuniang, and were stunned for a moment.
Lu Dutong, I ordered you to take over Zichi and Zhang Meng's positions and lead the city defense army and the personal guards.Princess Baoyue said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in military uniform, wearing black iron armor and a helmet and hat came out of the crowd. He bowed to Baoyue and said: Follow the order!
This Lu Dutong was originally just a small leader in the Imperial Guard. He had mediocre skills, but he had always been in charge of the safety of Baoyue's bedroom, so Baoyue was familiar with him. This time, she was ordered to go to Guichou City to entrust him with a void position as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, making him the leader of nearly a thousand iron-armored guards. Lu Dutong was naturally grateful. Now he even commanded the army and became a general once. He became more loyal to Baoyue, and this was exactly what Baoyue liked him.
Zimao and several deputy generals under Zhang Meng looked at each other, exchanged glances with each other, and said together: Please see Commander Lu.
Hi... Baoyue let out a smug smile. That's right. Those who know the times are heroes. You are much smarter than those two guys.After saying that, she slightly raised her voice and said: Come, give each of them a hundred gold coins, and get promoted to one level.
Hearing this, these deputy generals were both surprised and happy. They thought they were the emperor and the ministers of the emperor and their boss was killed. Even if they could avoid the same fate, they were demoted. Unexpectedly, not only did they not expect, but they would have to be promoted. How could they not be surprised? At the same time, they all said loudly: Princess Xie, Princess Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng!
Fu Yuniang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. If the killing of Ziji and Zhang Meng just now did not mean that Bao Yue had completely grasped the military power, then her side was basically defeated now because the other party won over a group of lower-level generals, and these people had never been in his eyes and had always had a shallow relationship with him. Now that the other party promised a lot of money, it was unlikely that his side would win back. This made her admire Bao Yue's methods, and both kindness and power, and she was indeed a master of power.
Madam, I see that you are not very good-looking, are you worried?Baoyue said with deep meaning.
Ah…No, no.Fu Yuniang tried hard to pretend to be nothing.
Just don't!Baoyue chuckled and said: By the way, the name of Jiyan Palace founded by Mrs. Wen has long been. When will I take this palace to visit?
As long as the princess wants, it is OK at any time!
Well, let's go now.As he said that, Baoyue stood up from the chair.
Ah…now?Fu Yuniang thought Nangong Xiuqi was in the vicious palace at this time, and if she went there, she would definitely run into him. Although Fu Yuniang didn't know the grudge between Nangong Xiuqi and Princess Baoyue, she still keenly discovered from Nangong Xiuqi's previous attitude that he did not want to contact Princess Baoyue head-on.
how?inconvenient?Baoyue seems to have a deep meaning.
Fu Yuniang's heart was thrilled, afraid that Baoyue would see something, so she forced a smile and said: Why?Since Your Highness is so interested in Jiyan Palace, I am naturally more respectful than obedient.
very good!Baoyue walked straight down the six steps, passed everyone as if no one was around and walked out the door, completely forgot that there was a queen behind her who was nominally more noble than her.
Faced with such disrespectful behavior, the queen did not look displeased at all. Instead, she stood up in fear and fear like a child who had done something wrong, took a few steps, followed Baoyue, and other maids and guards stepped forward one after another, surrounded them with their backs and left the conference hall.
Soon, the eunuchs, maids and civil servants and generals left cleanly, and only the servants and maids in the general's mansion were left in the hall, and Nangong Xiuqi was naturally among them. At this time, he was quite regretful, regretting that he was too careless and underestimated the enemy, so that Baoyue easily controlled the military power of Guichou City.
He wanted to take action to severely damage Baoyue just now, but in the end he held it back, because in addition to Baoyue's own skills, there were several masters around her, and there were nearly a thousand iron-armored guards. Nangong Xiuqi was not sure of winning.
Young Master... A gentle voice sounded in Nangong Xiuqi's ears. Where should we go now?
Forget it, if you lose Guichou City, you should lose it. Anyway, I am not very interested in this.He Sifang Ah, don’t blame me for being underground... Thinking of this, Nangong Xiuqi felt that it was no big deal. His face changed from his original frown to relaxing and relaxed. Just as he was about to tease Xia'er for a few words, he suddenly remembered something and shouted: Oh, it’s not good!
Xia'er was startled and looked around. Fortunately, the maids of the servants and maids were almost exposed at this time. No one noticed them. Xia'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to ask, she saw that Nangong Xiuqi had already walked out of the door, so she didn't care about anything and quickly shouted: Oh, young master, wait for me...
It turned out that Nangong Xiuqi remembered that Clin was still in the Qiyan Palace at this time. If Princess Baoyue was caught, wouldn’t it be bad?
I was suddenly anxious and hurriedly walked out, trying to arrive at Jiyan Palace before Princess Baoyue.
Nangong Xiuqi came to the secluded back garden in two steps and summoned the Red Tiger. Xia'er, who followed, saw the Red Tiger with her bloody mouth appearing out of thin air, and was immediately frightened and her legs were weak, almost falling to the ground.
However, just as the Red Tiger spread its wings and soared into the air, Xia'er still plucked up the courage and shouted loudly: Mr., Mrs., Mrs., have... I have a life, I want me to follow you all the time. I dare not disobey my orders, please bring me with me...
Xia'er was anxious and afraid, afraid that Nangong Xiuqi would leave him alone and run away. If that were the case, she would definitely be punished by Fu Yuniang. However, just as she was shouting incoherently, a red light flashed in front of her eyes, and then her waist tightened, and her whole person flew up like a cloud of fog.
Ah!Xia'er was so scared that she screamed repeatedly, her eyes closed tightly, and the whistling wind blowing through her ears made her frightened.
After a while, Xia'er felt as if she had landed on something. She opened her eyes tremblingly, but she saw that she was behind Nangong Xiuqi, and was also sitting on the Red Tiger. She glanced down and saw that the house was as big as a palm, and the pedestrians were more like ants.
Seeing this, Xia'er couldn't help but scream again, and her hands couldn't help but hug Nangong Xiuqi's waist.
It is easy to be discovered by people on the ground when riding a red tiger in the sky in broad daylight. In order to avoid it, Nangong Xiuqi could only urge the red tiger to fly very high and quickly fly towards Jiyan Palace under the cover of white clouds.
Soon, the magnificent Jiyan Palace was already at her feet. Looking down in the air, Princess Baoyue and her party were still halfway. Nangong Xiuqi breathed a sigh of relief and found a secluded corner to slowly land.
After the settlement, Nangong Xiuqi was about to step in, but he found that his body was extremely heavy. When he looked back, he found that Xia'er was still holding his waist tightly and not letting go, and his whole body was close to his back, so that he could feel the hard buds pressing on the two soft flesh on his back.
Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but feel angry and amused, and shrugged and said: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Ah… Arrived, to the ground… Xia'er opened her eyes and looked around blankly, and found that it was indeed on the ground. The nervous heart slowly sootheed. At the same time, she realized something, and she let go of her hands in panic, her face turned red.
Ha ha!Nangong Xiuqi turned around with a smile, slapped Xia'er's tender buttocks vigorously, and said, "What are you still standing there?"Hurry up and lead me and find my female slaves.
Xia'er's head was so embarrassed that she almost lowered her chest, and her voice sounded like a mosquito and said: Yes, young master, please come with me!
The two giant men were still guarding the gate of Jiyan Palace. When they saw Nangong Xiuqi, they looked embarrassed, but soon they changed into a flattering expression and said: Young Master, please, please, please, please!While speaking, he opened the heavy door for him.
how?Don't throw me out?Nangong Xiuqi was still a little resentful about being thrown out of the door that night by these two giant men as if they were thrown out of the door like garbage.
The two giant men's faces were even more embarrassing, and they stuttered: The villain has eyes... the eyes are gone... the master... the master is not careful... the villain is gone...
Haha...Nangong Xiuqi laughed and walked in without waiting for them to finish speaking.
The two giant men stopped embarrassedly, then grabbed Xia'er who was following behind, and begged: Miss Xia'er, please, let me say good things to both of us brothers in front of the young master.
The situation in front of him was really funny. The two giants were tall and long legs, just like two small hills, while Xia'er was petite and like a weak willow. She was less than the thighs of the two giants. Her fair forehead was barely on the same level as their knees, but the two giants kept bowing to her and smiling with her.
Xia'er snickered secretly and gave them a blank look and said: I'm too lazy to care about your business.After saying that, he followed two steps and caught up with Nangong Xiuqi. The two giant men scratched their heads helplessly and looked at each other.
After passing through the gorgeous hall, following the arc-shaped staircase to the second floor, then passing through a winding corridor, and coming to a light yellow carved pear wood door, Xia'er stopped and said softly: Young Master, that's it.
Nangong Xiuqi immediately pushed the door and let out a wretched smile: Hehe, I am back...hehe, where is the person?
The room was empty and there was no one. The scene where Yingying YànYàn that Nangong Xiuqi expected pounced on him and hugged him left and right did not appear at all. This made him feel sank and looked back: Where is the person?
Xia'er, who followed closely, was also stunned, then retreated to the door and shouted: Come on!
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid hurried over and said: What's the matter?Xia'er.
Where did the three ladies in this room go?
They went out.
Going out?Nangong Xiuqi was shocked and hurriedly asked: Who took her out?How can you let them out...
Faced with a series of fierce questions from Nangong Xiuqi, the maid was both afraid and aggrieved, and said stutteringly: Husband... The lady told me, saying that they are your men, you must serve us well and not neglect us, so how dare we stop them when they are trying to go out?
Oh, they were going out by themselves?Nangong Xiuqi was suspicious.
Yes.The maid paused and said: One of the ladies felt that they were bored here and clamored to go out for a walk. The other two ladies had no choice but to go out with her. However, they said that they would only come back after walking for half an hour. Now it should be back.
Hearing this, Nangong Xiuqi not only couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more nervous, because according to his calculations, Baoyue and his party should have arrived at Jiyan Palace at this time. If Clin also came back at this time, wouldn't it be right to run into it? So he cried in his heart: No!Turn around and leave immediately.
However, it was too late. Before Nangong Xiuqi could step down the stairs, he heard the sound of cars and horses outside, which was extremely noisy. Needless to say, Baoyue and his party had already arrived at Jiyan Palace.
Under such circumstances, Nangong Xiuqi could no longer go out. There was no way, so he had to break away and bump into Xia'er who was rushing to catch up with him.
Mr....Young Master, what...what happened?Xia'er looked panicked and confused.
Hurry, take me to the basement.Nangong Xiuqi said in a low voice.
Seeing him like this, Xia'er didn't dare to ask anything more, so she lowered her head and responded and took him to the basement.
The entrance to the basement is in an inconspicuous corner of the first floor lobby. The milky white stone door is exactly the same as the color of the surrounding walls. If you don’t pay attention, you can’t find a door here.
Xia'er gently pressed a mechanism next to her, and heard a light sound of rolling and the stone gate slowly opened, and Nangong Xiuqi and Xia'er quickly penetrated into the stone gate.
There was a downward stone step here. I followed it down dozens of steps and came to the spacious basement. When I arrived here, Nangong Xiuqi was not unfamiliar. He came to a place with a familiarity and pressed the hidden mechanism. There was another slight sound, and the stone wall that was originally integrated cracked a door.
Xia'er was stunned. She had been here for several years and thought she was very familiar with every corner of Jiyan Palace. However, she unexpectedly had a secret door here that she had never known, and she couldn't help but stammer: This... This is...
Nangong Xiuqi was too lazy to explain to her, so he went in by himself. Xia'er didn't dare to ask anymore, and obediently entered the secret door with him, and walked up the spiral stairs for dozens of steps into a small stone chamber.
This is the stone room peeking into the hall on the first floor. Nangong Xiuqi put his eyes in front of the peeping hole. Suddenly, the huge hall was presented to him in full view, but the scene in front of him surprised him.
In addition to the expected Baoyue, Queen, Fu Yuniang and others, there were three more people in the hall. These three people were the three people Nangong Xiuqi wanted to see before, and at this time, Clin and others were most afraid of seeing.
It's broken, I finally brought the bitch Clin from Jing'an City to this place. It was about to be out of Huatang, but at this moment it failed. Could this bitch also flew the cooked duck like the bitch of Sakura Pity?Nangong Xiuqi was really upset.
He was extremely depressed, but Nangong Xiuqi's eyes still did not leave the peeping hole. After his close observation, he soon discovered a trace of unusualness.
If it were common sense, Clinton had escaped from her palm this time, she would have been ecstatic and even cried, but Clinton in front of her was not the case; on the contrary, at this moment she looked panicked and confused, like a little girl who was lost and didn't know where to go.
In addition, what surprised Nangong Xiuqi even more was that Clin seemed to be very afraid of Baoyue, her niece, and kept throwing eyes to Xiaoqing and Xia He next to her for help. They were obviously controlled by the guards next to them, and they did not dare to respond to the eyes that Clin had cast.
Looking at Baoyue again, she saw her holding Clin's hand intimately, and the queen, who had been expressionless, also smiled at this moment, stood beside Clin, patting her shoulder lightly, as if comforting her.
Madam, how about lending a few rooms here for you?Baoyue Road.
Of course no problem.Fu Yuniang said as she personally led them to the second floor.
Watching them go up the arc stairs, Nangong Xiuqi also exited the stone room and followed the spiral stairs to the second floor. There are many rooms here. After he searched one by one, Nangong Xiuqi finally found Clin in one of the rooms.
In addition to Clin, there was also Princess Baoyue among them, and the others were confused. Nangong Xiuqi was still surprised by their expressions. Clin looked panicked and curled up in a corner with his hands crossed his chest, murmured: I want to go out... Let me go out, I, I want to find Xiaoqing...
Princess Baoyue didn't say anything, but stared at Clint without blinking, looking her from head to head, and then from foot to head. Her sharp eyes were completely inconsistent with her slightly naive face. Clint became more and more afraid of being looked at by her, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
Aunt, do you really don’t know me anymore?I am Baoyue Ah... Princess Baoyue suddenly said: Don’t worry, there is only me and you here. Just say anything.
On the way to Jiyan Palace, she accidentally met Clin who had been missing for a long time. Baoyue and the queen were both surprised and happy, especially Baoyue. At this time, she was already deeply trusted by her old emperor, and thus learned that Clin's real purpose of marrying Nangong Lingkong was naturally respectful and admired this aunt who was willing to sacrifice for the Li family.
Baoyue instinctively felt that it must be related to the Nangong family for a long time to investigate, but she had no results. She was naturally very happy to find it by accident this time. However, what they did not expect was that Clin seemed to not know them, and her attitude was strange and directly trained Baoyue and the queen who thought they had recognized the wrong person.
However, this thought flashed in Baoyue's mind, because she didn't believe that there would be such an identical person in the world, so she doubted whether Clin was threatened by someone or because Xia He and others were around, so she did not dare to admit her identity. So she asked Fu Yuniang for several rooms and separated them separately.
Aunt, aunt?What...what aunt?Clin said with a confused look on his face: You... Have you recognized the wrong person? I am not you, your aunt, please let me go...
Not only Baoyue was really confused, but even Nangong Xiuqi in the dark room was shocked, because anyone could see that Clin's expression was real, especially her eyes, which were panic, confused, and fearful, and all kinds of eyes were mixed together, which was absolutely impossible to disguise.
After entering the conference hall, Nangong Xiuqi quietly glanced at the surrounding situation. It was very large, with a radius of nearly a hundred feet. Four stone pillars thick in adult arms stood at the four corners of the hall, supporting this stone roof that weighed thousands of pounds. The underground was paved with stone bricks. Although it lacked luxury and comfort, it exuded a sense of atmosphere and stability, and was very suitable as a serious conference place.
The queen and Princess Baoyue sat on two large animal leather chairs on the level 6 in front of the hall, looking down at the bottom.
Fu Yuniang and his group sat on both sides of the lower head. Each of them respectfully stood one or two maids from behind to serve tea and add water at any time. In addition, many servants stood around with their hands hanging down, maintaining a state of obedience at any time.
In this situation, let alone Nangong Xiuqi lowered his head, even if he raised his head and chest, he would not be discovered, because no one would look at this group of low-key servants, especially Princess Baoyue, staring at Fu Yuniang and her group directly below, and then spoke in her crisp but not tender voice: Madam, are all the generals and officials of Guichou City here?
Except for the generals who were on duty at Guichou Pass, the rest were already present.
OK, Eunuch Li, then I will announce the edict.
The servant obeys the order!An eunuch standing at the lower head bowed to Baoyue and turned to face everyone, opened the scroll of the imperial edict, and said in his sharp voice: In line with the will of heaven, Emperor Zhaori: I heard that He Sifang, the general of Guichou City, died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country. The whole country was very sad. I am grateful to his loyalty for the country, and I specially posthumously named the Marquis of Zhongguo and gave his family a thousand gold to show his merits!However, Guichou City is an important border town and cannot be without a leader. Therefore, Princess Baoyue was specially sent to take over the position of general and gave Shangfang a sword to order the entire army. If anyone is not controlled, he will be executed immediately!I’m so proud of this!
Thank you for your kindness!Fu Yuniang was not surprised by this result and calmly accepted the imperial edict.
Baoyue raised a smug smile on the corner of her mouth and said softly: Madam knows the general and has great righteousness. She is truly a hero among women.After this palace returns to Jing'an City, it is decided to ask for me for me.
Fu Yuniang smiled softly, and when she was about to say something, Baoyue turned her tone: Where are General Zimao and General Zhang Meng?
Zimao and Zhang Meng looked at each other, then stood up and bowed: The last one is here!
Do you know your guilt?Baoyue said in a cold tone.
Zimao and Zhang Mengjun were shocked. The two looked at each other and then said in unison: I don’t know.
Baoyue snorted coldly and said: Zichi, as the commander of the personal guards, it is your responsibility to protect General He, but what about now?General He died tragically on the battlefield, but you sat here intact, and you dare to say that you are not guilty?
I... Zimao didn't know how to defend himself for a moment.
Indeed, the reason why the personal guards are called the personal guards is to protect the safety of the head coach personally. Now that the head coach is dead, at first glance, he, the commander of the personal guards, does bear an unshirkable responsibility; however, in fact, there is some subtle difference from this, that is, the head coach dies on the battlefield rather than on the battlefield, and there is an essential difference between the two.
However, how can you think of the difference between the two with a clumsy mouth?
Baoyue didn't allow him to have time to defend himself, so he shouted sternly at Zhang Meng: And you, Zhang Meng, as the commander of the city defender, have failed to resist the enemy and improper methods, which has caused us to suffer heavy losses. What should you blame?
Zhang Meng was both surprised and angry. He thought he was trying hard to defend Guichou Pass. Even if he had no credit, he would have worked hard. No matter how bad he was, he would not be guilty. Naturally, he was very dissatisfied. However, before he could say something, Baoyue shouted again: Come, push them out and behead them!
Everyone present, including Nangong Xiuqi, was surprised. Unexpectedly, Baoyue would use such fierce means. Zichi and Zhang Meng's expression changed drastically. They looked at Fu Yuniang together. Fu Yuniang naturally could not sit idly by. She quickly stood up and said: Empress, Princess, this matter must not be done. Now that the enemy is in front of you, you must not be distracted!
The queen was expressionless from beginning to end, and she didn't say a word. At this time, even the stupidest man could see that the queen was just a foil. The real master was Princess Baoyue, but she had to do her face. So Fu Yuniang was asking the queen and the princess on the surface, but she only looked at Baoyue.
Madam, what you mean is that this palace is not doing well.Baoyue smiled sinisterly.
Fu Yuniang was stunned and then said: I don’t have this intention, I just...
Just don't!Baoyue interrupted her, why are she still standing there?Push it out and kill it!
Hearing this, the iron-armored soldiers on both sides rushed up and rushed towards Zi Qiao and Zhang Meng respectively. Fu Yuniang saw that she was anxious. She didn't expect that things would turn so quickly. She thought that as long as she was perfunctory on the surface, she could just do it, but Princess Baoyue actually started to eliminate dissidents and seize military power. You must know that Zi Qiao and Zhang Meng were both generals holding heavy troops. Taking over the military power in their hands was basically equivalent to controlling Guichou City.
Bah, if you want to add a crime, why don’t you have any words?Zimao shouted loudly.
He had long been determined to rebel, so he almost didn't make it clear. Now that his life is in danger, he naturally broke up and resisted.
Zhang Mengben was still hesitant, but seeing that Zijiu was like this, he felt that he could not just sit and wait for death, so both of them waved their palms and fought with the iron armored guards who were pounced on them.
Suddenly, the huge convention hall was in chaos, and there were shouts, shouts, the sounds of tables and chairs falling over, the sounds of bowls and cups falling to the ground, and the screams of maids.
Zichi and Zhang Meng are both military generals, and their martial arts are not weak. However, the iron-armed guards are all elites selected by Princess Baoyue from the Imperial Guards. Both of them are impeccable in their personal abilities and group cooperation abilities. So without ten moves, they were attacked by a group of iron-armed guards without any ability to fight back.
Fu Yuniang was very anxious, but she was helpless. She was just a weak woman, and she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to help. She was surrounded by iron armored guards brought by Bao Yue. All of their own trusted guards were outside the mansion and could not know the situation here.
Nangong Xiuqi on the other hand was also hesitating whether to take action?
However, at this moment, a clear roar shocked everyone's eardrums in the hall. Nangong Xiuqi was shocked and looked up. Baoyue, who was sitting on a large chair with a six-story stairs, waved her hands, and two cold lights shot out. Then he heard two screams. A ball of faint fire broke out from Ziji and Zhang Meng's body. The dark blue flames instantly swallowed them. The miserable and creepy howling sounded throughout the hall, but soon silently, and the two living people turned into ashes.
This scene happened so quickly and suddenly that it was too late for Nangong Xiuqi to rescue him, so he suppressed his impulse and hid in the corner with other panicked servants to continue to watch the changes. At the same time, he was also secretly surprised. He knew that Baoyue's hand was the unique skill of the ghost mother in the Mingshan...the ghost fire in the underworld, and looking at that posture, it was quite hot.
Fu Yuniang's face was extremely ugly at this time, and the others looked even more like earth. Baoyue saw it and snorted coldly: Who else dares to disobey?These two are your end.
No one in the hall dared to respond again, and the silence was a little scary. Baoyue felt proud. She knew that she had killed someone and established her authority as the right way.
Before she came, she had already thought of a countermeasure, that is, to be able to show goodwill to some insignificant people at will, but the vital military power must be in her own hands. She had already found out that after He Sifang's death, only the commander of the city guards Zhang Meng and the commander of the personal guards Zijiu, who knew nothing about these two people, let alone had any friendship. Therefore, she felt that it was very difficult to win over them, and she could not keep her loyalty. So she decided to just do it and kill them, and end it all.
In fact, this is a dangerous move, and if it is not done well, it will cause a mutiny among the soldiers. Therefore, Baoyue took the opportunity of reading the imperial edict to gather the main soldiers and civil servants, and then surrounded them with the imperial guards he brought to cut off their connection with the outside world.
Although Princess Baoyue is very young, she is very smart and means. Her killing and seizing power was very successful, and she immediately shocked the civil servants and generals present, including Fu Yuniang, and were stunned for a moment.
Lu Dutong, I ordered you to take over Zichi and Zhang Meng's positions and lead the city defense army and the personal guards.Princess Baoyue said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in military uniform, wearing black iron armor and a helmet and hat came out of the crowd. He bowed to Baoyue and said: Follow the order!
This Lu Dutong was originally just a small leader in the Imperial Guard. He had mediocre skills, but he had always been in charge of the safety of Baoyue's bedroom, so Baoyue was familiar with him. This time, she was ordered to go to Guichou City to entrust him with a void position as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, making him the leader of nearly a thousand iron-armored guards. Lu Dutong was naturally grateful. Now he even commanded the army and became a general once. He became more loyal to Baoyue, and this was exactly what Baoyue liked him.
Zimao and several deputy generals under Zhang Meng looked at each other, exchanged glances with each other, and said together: Please see Commander Lu.
Hi... Baoyue let out a smug smile. That's right. Those who know the times are heroes. You are much smarter than those two guys.After saying that, she slightly raised her voice and said: Come, give each of them a hundred gold coins, and get promoted to one level.
Hearing this, these deputy generals were both surprised and happy. They thought they were the emperor and the ministers of the emperor and their boss was killed. Even if they could avoid the same fate, they were demoted. Unexpectedly, not only did they not expect, but they would have to be promoted. How could they not be surprised? At the same time, they all said loudly: Princess Xie, Princess Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng Qiansheng!
Fu Yuniang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. If the killing of Ziji and Zhang Meng just now did not mean that Bao Yue had completely grasped the military power, then her side was basically defeated now because the other party won over a group of lower-level generals, and these people had never been in his eyes and had always had a shallow relationship with him. Now that the other party promised a lot of money, it was unlikely that his side would win back. This made her admire Bao Yue's methods, and both kindness and power, and she was indeed a master of power.
Madam, I see that you are not very good-looking, are you worried?Baoyue said with deep meaning.
Ah…No, no.Fu Yuniang tried hard to pretend to be nothing.
Just don't!Baoyue chuckled and said: By the way, the name of Jiyan Palace founded by Mrs. Wen has long been. When will I take this palace to visit?
As long as the princess wants, it is OK at any time!
Well, let's go now.As he said that, Baoyue stood up from the chair.
Ah…now?Fu Yuniang thought Nangong Xiuqi was in the vicious palace at this time, and if she went there, she would definitely run into him. Although Fu Yuniang didn't know the grudge between Nangong Xiuqi and Princess Baoyue, she still keenly discovered from Nangong Xiuqi's previous attitude that he did not want to contact Princess Baoyue head-on.
how?inconvenient?Baoyue seems to have a deep meaning.
Fu Yuniang's heart was thrilled, afraid that Baoyue would see something, so she forced a smile and said: Why?Since Your Highness is so interested in Jiyan Palace, I am naturally more respectful than obedient.
very good!Baoyue walked straight down the six steps, passed everyone as if no one was around and walked out the door, completely forgot that there was a queen behind her who was nominally more noble than her.
Faced with such disrespectful behavior, the queen did not look displeased at all. Instead, she stood up in fear and fear like a child who had done something wrong, took a few steps, followed Baoyue, and other maids and guards stepped forward one after another, surrounded them with their backs and left the conference hall.
Soon, the eunuchs, maids and civil servants and generals left cleanly, and only the servants and maids in the general's mansion were left in the hall, and Nangong Xiuqi was naturally among them. At this time, he was quite regretful, regretting that he was too careless and underestimated the enemy, so that Baoyue easily controlled the military power of Guichou City.
He wanted to take action to severely damage Baoyue just now, but in the end he held it back, because in addition to Baoyue's own skills, there were several masters around her, and there were nearly a thousand iron-armored guards. Nangong Xiuqi was not sure of winning.
Young Master... A gentle voice sounded in Nangong Xiuqi's ears. Where should we go now?
Forget it, if you lose Guichou City, you should lose it. Anyway, I am not very interested in this.He Sifang Ah, don’t blame me for being underground... Thinking of this, Nangong Xiuqi felt that it was no big deal. His face changed from his original frown to relaxing and relaxed. Just as he was about to tease Xia'er for a few words, he suddenly remembered something and shouted: Oh, it’s not good!
Xia'er was startled and looked around. Fortunately, the maids of the servants and maids were almost exposed at this time. No one noticed them. Xia'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to ask, she saw that Nangong Xiuqi had already walked out of the door, so she didn't care about anything and quickly shouted: Oh, young master, wait for me...
It turned out that Nangong Xiuqi remembered that Clin was still in the Qiyan Palace at this time. If Princess Baoyue was caught, wouldn’t it be bad?
I was suddenly anxious and hurriedly walked out, trying to arrive at Jiyan Palace before Princess Baoyue.
Nangong Xiuqi came to the secluded back garden in two steps and summoned the Red Tiger. Xia'er, who followed, saw the Red Tiger with her bloody mouth appearing out of thin air, and was immediately frightened and her legs were weak, almost falling to the ground.
However, just as the Red Tiger spread its wings and soared into the air, Xia'er still plucked up the courage and shouted loudly: Mr., Mrs., Mrs., have... I have a life, I want me to follow you all the time. I dare not disobey my orders, please bring me with me...
Xia'er was anxious and afraid, afraid that Nangong Xiuqi would leave him alone and run away. If that were the case, she would definitely be punished by Fu Yuniang. However, just as she was shouting incoherently, a red light flashed in front of her eyes, and then her waist tightened, and her whole person flew up like a cloud of fog.
Ah!Xia'er was so scared that she screamed repeatedly, her eyes closed tightly, and the whistling wind blowing through her ears made her frightened.
After a while, Xia'er felt as if she had landed on something. She opened her eyes tremblingly, but she saw that she was behind Nangong Xiuqi, and was also sitting on the Red Tiger. She glanced down and saw that the house was as big as a palm, and the pedestrians were more like ants.
Seeing this, Xia'er couldn't help but scream again, and her hands couldn't help but hug Nangong Xiuqi's waist.
It is easy to be discovered by people on the ground when riding a red tiger in the sky in broad daylight. In order to avoid it, Nangong Xiuqi could only urge the red tiger to fly very high and quickly fly towards Jiyan Palace under the cover of white clouds.
Soon, the magnificent Jiyan Palace was already at her feet. Looking down in the air, Princess Baoyue and her party were still halfway. Nangong Xiuqi breathed a sigh of relief and found a secluded corner to slowly land.
After the settlement, Nangong Xiuqi was about to step in, but he found that his body was extremely heavy. When he looked back, he found that Xia'er was still holding his waist tightly and not letting go, and his whole body was close to his back, so that he could feel the hard buds pressing on the two soft flesh on his back.
Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but feel angry and amused, and shrugged and said: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Ah… Arrived, to the ground… Xia'er opened her eyes and looked around blankly, and found that it was indeed on the ground. The nervous heart slowly sootheed. At the same time, she realized something, and she let go of her hands in panic, her face turned red.
Ha ha!Nangong Xiuqi turned around with a smile, slapped Xia'er's tender buttocks vigorously, and said, "What are you still standing there?"Hurry up and lead me and find my female slaves.
Xia'er's head was so embarrassed that she almost lowered her chest, and her voice sounded like a mosquito and said: Yes, young master, please come with me!
The two giant men were still guarding the gate of Jiyan Palace. When they saw Nangong Xiuqi, they looked embarrassed, but soon they changed into a flattering expression and said: Young Master, please, please, please, please!While speaking, he opened the heavy door for him.
how?Don't throw me out?Nangong Xiuqi was still a little resentful about being thrown out of the door that night by these two giant men as if they were thrown out of the door like garbage.
The two giant men's faces were even more embarrassing, and they stuttered: The villain has eyes... the eyes are gone... the master... the master is not careful... the villain is gone...
Haha...Nangong Xiuqi laughed and walked in without waiting for them to finish speaking.
The two giant men stopped embarrassedly, then grabbed Xia'er who was following behind, and begged: Miss Xia'er, please, let me say good things to both of us brothers in front of the young master.
The situation in front of him was really funny. The two giants were tall and long legs, just like two small hills, while Xia'er was petite and like a weak willow. She was less than the thighs of the two giants. Her fair forehead was barely on the same level as their knees, but the two giants kept bowing to her and smiling with her.
Xia'er snickered secretly and gave them a blank look and said: I'm too lazy to care about your business.After saying that, he followed two steps and caught up with Nangong Xiuqi. The two giant men scratched their heads helplessly and looked at each other.
After passing through the gorgeous hall, following the arc-shaped staircase to the second floor, then passing through a winding corridor, and coming to a light yellow carved pear wood door, Xia'er stopped and said softly: Young Master, that's it.
Nangong Xiuqi immediately pushed the door and let out a wretched smile: Hehe, I am back...hehe, where is the person?
The room was empty and there was no one. The scene where Yingying YànYàn that Nangong Xiuqi expected pounced on him and hugged him left and right did not appear at all. This made him feel sank and looked back: Where is the person?
Xia'er, who followed closely, was also stunned, then retreated to the door and shouted: Come on!
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid hurried over and said: What's the matter?Xia'er.
Where did the three ladies in this room go?
They went out.
Going out?Nangong Xiuqi was shocked and hurriedly asked: Who took her out?How can you let them out...
Faced with a series of fierce questions from Nangong Xiuqi, the maid was both afraid and aggrieved, and said stutteringly: Husband... The lady told me, saying that they are your men, you must serve us well and not neglect us, so how dare we stop them when they are trying to go out?
Oh, they were going out by themselves?Nangong Xiuqi was suspicious.
Yes.The maid paused and said: One of the ladies felt that they were bored here and clamored to go out for a walk. The other two ladies had no choice but to go out with her. However, they said that they would only come back after walking for half an hour. Now it should be back.
Hearing this, Nangong Xiuqi not only couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more nervous, because according to his calculations, Baoyue and his party should have arrived at Jiyan Palace at this time. If Clin also came back at this time, wouldn't it be right to run into it? So he cried in his heart: No!Turn around and leave immediately.
However, it was too late. Before Nangong Xiuqi could step down the stairs, he heard the sound of cars and horses outside, which was extremely noisy. Needless to say, Baoyue and his party had already arrived at Jiyan Palace.
Under such circumstances, Nangong Xiuqi could no longer go out. There was no way, so he had to break away and bump into Xia'er who was rushing to catch up with him.
Mr....Young Master, what...what happened?Xia'er looked panicked and confused.
Hurry, take me to the basement.Nangong Xiuqi said in a low voice.
Seeing him like this, Xia'er didn't dare to ask anything more, so she lowered her head and responded and took him to the basement.
The entrance to the basement is in an inconspicuous corner of the first floor lobby. The milky white stone door is exactly the same as the color of the surrounding walls. If you don’t pay attention, you can’t find a door here.
Xia'er gently pressed a mechanism next to her, and heard a light sound of rolling and the stone gate slowly opened, and Nangong Xiuqi and Xia'er quickly penetrated into the stone gate.
There was a downward stone step here. I followed it down dozens of steps and came to the spacious basement. When I arrived here, Nangong Xiuqi was not unfamiliar. He came to a place with a familiarity and pressed the hidden mechanism. There was another slight sound, and the stone wall that was originally integrated cracked a door.
Xia'er was stunned. She had been here for several years and thought she was very familiar with every corner of Jiyan Palace. However, she unexpectedly had a secret door here that she had never known, and she couldn't help but stammer: This... This is...
Nangong Xiuqi was too lazy to explain to her, so he went in by himself. Xia'er didn't dare to ask anymore, and obediently entered the secret door with him, and walked up the spiral stairs for dozens of steps into a small stone chamber.
This is the stone room peeking into the hall on the first floor. Nangong Xiuqi put his eyes in front of the peeping hole. Suddenly, the huge hall was presented to him in full view, but the scene in front of him surprised him.
In addition to the expected Baoyue, Queen, Fu Yuniang and others, there were three more people in the hall. These three people were the three people Nangong Xiuqi wanted to see before, and at this time, Clin and others were most afraid of seeing.
It's broken, I finally brought the bitch Clin from Jing'an City to this place. It was about to be out of Huatang, but at this moment it failed. Could this bitch also flew the cooked duck like the bitch of Sakura Pity?Nangong Xiuqi was really upset.
He was extremely depressed, but Nangong Xiuqi's eyes still did not leave the peeping hole. After his close observation, he soon discovered a trace of unusualness.
If it were common sense, Clinton had escaped from her palm this time, she would have been ecstatic and even cried, but Clinton in front of her was not the case; on the contrary, at this moment she looked panicked and confused, like a little girl who was lost and didn't know where to go.
In addition, what surprised Nangong Xiuqi even more was that Clin seemed to be very afraid of Baoyue, her niece, and kept throwing eyes to Xiaoqing and Xia He next to her for help. They were obviously controlled by the guards next to them, and they did not dare to respond to the eyes that Clin had cast.
Looking at Baoyue again, she saw her holding Clin's hand intimately, and the queen, who had been expressionless, also smiled at this moment, stood beside Clin, patting her shoulder lightly, as if comforting her.
Madam, how about lending a few rooms here for you?Baoyue Road.
Of course no problem.Fu Yuniang said as she personally led them to the second floor.
Watching them go up the arc stairs, Nangong Xiuqi also exited the stone room and followed the spiral stairs to the second floor. There are many rooms here. After he searched one by one, Nangong Xiuqi finally found Clin in one of the rooms.
In addition to Clin, there was also Princess Baoyue among them, and the others were confused. Nangong Xiuqi was still surprised by their expressions. Clin looked panicked and curled up in a corner with his hands crossed his chest, murmured: I want to go out... Let me go out, I, I want to find Xiaoqing...
Princess Baoyue didn't say anything, but stared at Clint without blinking, looking her from head to head, and then from foot to head. Her sharp eyes were completely inconsistent with her slightly naive face. Clint became more and more afraid of being looked at by her, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
Aunt, do you really don’t know me anymore?I am Baoyue Ah... Princess Baoyue suddenly said: Don’t worry, there is only me and you here. Just say anything.
On the way to Jiyan Palace, she accidentally met Clin who had been missing for a long time. Baoyue and the queen were both surprised and happy, especially Baoyue. At this time, she was already deeply trusted by her old emperor, and thus learned that Clin's real purpose of marrying Nangong Lingkong was naturally respectful and admired this aunt who was willing to sacrifice for the Li family.
Baoyue instinctively felt that it must be related to the Nangong family for a long time to investigate, but she had no results. She was naturally very happy to find it by accident this time. However, what they did not expect was that Clin seemed to not know them, and her attitude was strange and directly trained Baoyue and the queen who thought they had recognized the wrong person.
However, this thought flashed in Baoyue's mind, because she didn't believe that there would be such an identical person in the world, so she doubted whether Clin was threatened by someone or because Xia He and others were around, so she did not dare to admit her identity. So she asked Fu Yuniang for several rooms and separated them separately.
Aunt, aunt?What...what aunt?Clin said with a confused look on his face: You... Have you recognized the wrong person? I am not you, your aunt, please let me go...
Not only Baoyue was really confused, but even Nangong Xiuqi in the dark room was shocked, because anyone could see that Clin's expression was real, especially her eyes, which were panic, confused, and fearful, and all kinds of eyes were mixed together, which was absolutely impossible to disguise.
