Seeing this, Ma Shunde smiled and ordered: "Go knock on the door!"
He also followed a few armored soldiers, and this kind of thing was naturally their business. Immediately, the armored soldiers came forward, and 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 and did this kind of thing, Jia Bing also didn't care at all that this was the Prince Dai'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 master time to react.
Therefore, the door was not opened immediately. Instead, he approached in the rain and asked loudly: "Who is calling the door? May I ask which yamen you are from? What are you doing here late at night?"
After hearing this, Ma Shunde did not answer. There was a light at the door, and the attendant brought a light, which shone on his stern face, indifferent and expressionless.
Soldier Jia's voice was louder: "The imperial envoy is here to handle errands for the palace, please 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. 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 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 you!"
"No need!" Ma Shunde stepped forward, and the little eunuch hurriedly trotted to catch up, holding the umbrella high, and heard a sharp voice saying: "Our family has been ordered to capture the thief, so we didn't wait to 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. They stood with their swords pressed and their eyes fixed.
Late at night in the rain, the situation was 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 means 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 Prince Dai 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 was no enmity between him and King Dai, but Eunuch Zhao, whom he had suppressed, had contact with King Dai. The enemy of his enemy was his friend, and in the same way, the friend of his enemy was 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. This would not only allow me to relax and sit back and relax, but 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 slightly again.
What can be done?
The matter fell into his own hands. Even if this trip would create a grudge against Dai Wang, he had no way to stop it, and he could only keep up.
Otherwise, being labeled a big label by this villain will be really troublesome even if the emperor uses his own place and will not be severely punished.
"The imperial envoy is here."
When there was such a big movement, Prince Dai's Mansion 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 crow of chickens and the barking of dogs interspersed with the sounds of children crying.
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 towards the window. Climb high and take a look.
Ordinary people can probably only see some 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, half-ring-shaped torches were slowly pressing 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 elixir 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, outside the Prince's Mansion, it seemed exactly like this.
No, 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. Isn't the emperor more attentive?
The current acting king is far from this height.
But even if there are some differences, the situation is similar. Even if it is not certain, it is already guessed based on the emperor's age and recent actions.
"Repay... Qiqiao Exquisite Heart..." Liu Zhan shook his head and sighed, and suddenly 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 are 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 was talking about were not only Huo Wuyong, but also a few people with different looks from the others beside Huo Wuyong and Ma Shunde.
These are all Taoist masters who came wearing 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 in forcing the prince to be killed did not end well. 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, they may not go too far.
Whether they can escape and how many people can survive this time depends on God's will.
Just as he was talking, Liu Zhan was startled, turned his head and 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?"
