The rain was much lighter. The middle-aged Taoist priest on the left looked at Liu Zhan with a blank face. He wanted to ask but did not dare to ask, why did King Qi leave the palace at night?
After a while, seeing Liu Zhan changing his expression and looking in another direction, the middle-aged Taoist finally couldn't help it and asked: "Master Master, what's wrong?"
"The formation at Wei Qiaofang has also moved." The muscles on Liu Zhan's left cheek trembled unnoticeably: "Why are things all getting together?"
It's just that there is some movement in Prince Dai's Mansion. Wei Qiaofang is also a key location to watch, and the formation was set up, or he participated in it, but it changed tonight. How can the two have nothing to do with each other?
With Liu Zhan's eyesight, he could naturally see the black energy rising to the sky in Kaiqiaofang, and then he was suppressed.
The purpose of that great formation was to suppress the ghosts and gods who demolished the temple so that they could not move rashly. In the future, they would either be appeased or destroyed according to the decree of the imperial court. The king of Gudai had the intention, and he also contributed, but something happened tonight. No small thing!
Liu Zhan's expression was gloomy, and he felt an ominous omen.
"Master, but something has changed again?" the middle-aged Taoist asked. Liu Zhan frowned and was about to nod, but stopped.
Tonight's situation is no longer as simple as an accident.
"The King's Qi...is also approaching?" Liu Zhan pinched a spell with his right hand and touched it on his eyelids. Two points of spiritual light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in his pupils, and he saw him on a street not far from the Prince's Palace. Above, there is a dragon moving neither fast nor slow.
And outside, there is the red light emerging from the armor, and there is the sound of weapons clashing from time to time. Anyone who comes close with the Yin Qi of the wronged soul will be strangled and suppressed.
As he spied on, the dragon's roar sounded, shattering his vision.
"It's King Qi, why is he here?"
Liu Zhan blinked hard, sour tears flowed out, and he couldn't help frowning. He was very suspicious that King Qi was leaving the palace at this time. He thought to himself: "The King Dai was investigated, the Weiqiaofang formation was moved, and King Qi moved here. Is all this true?" What a coincidence?"
Although this world is about "karma and chance", and coincidences are not unheard of, Liu Zhan still couldn't believe the extent of coincidence.
Liu Zhan wanted to calculate, but stopped. He had a hunch in his heart that if he calculated at this time, regardless of whether he could derive the results, the price he would pay would definitely not be what he was willing to bear.
"Is there another change in the secret of heaven?"
Liu Zhan's eyes fell on Dai Wang's Mansion again. Dai Wang's Mansion was already lit up. He could clearly see that not only the front yard was brightly lit, but also candlelight was lighting up in the backyard, and there were people shouting.
Liu Zhan stared at it and suddenly frowned: "No, something is very wrong..."
He didn't say what exactly was wrong. The middle-aged Taoist beside him looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Daiwangfu
In the gray and gloomy rainy night, lamps were gradually lit, and the guards of the Imperial City Division had already poured in. They stood on both sides, each holding their swords motionless, and there was a sudden killing.
Seeing Ma Shunde coming in along the main road under the big umbrella, all the people in the palace in front knelt down together, and a steward strode forward and knelt down: "I want to say hello to the imperial envoy!"
"That's what it feels like." A smile flashed across Ma Shunde's lips, then he straightened his face and asked, "Where is your prince?"
"Your Majesty has fallen asleep, and now he wakes up."
Ma Shunde sneered: "The King is generous."
After saying that, he went straight in. The guards followed suit and came in along the corridor of the palace. At a glance, they saw that the wing room inside was in chaos. Some were kneeling on both sides, some were hiding in the room, and some were retreating. All kinds of shapes.
Also, a large number of armored soldiers surrounded the palace. Let alone people, even a pigeon could be shot down when it flew out.
It was really scary to see this in the middle of the night.
On a stormy night, it is easy for people to feel sad. At this time, when soldiers are surrounding the mansion, and then think about what happened in Prince Lu's mansion before, it is difficult not to think about the worst situation.
Everyone in the mansion was awakened, and some people in the distance didn't know the specific situation.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?" A deputy steward came out of his room with his boots on and asked others.
The person in question looked pale and hesitated: "It's... the father-in-law from the palace. They... they led troops to surround the palace!"
"What!" The deputy steward wanted to say who was so bold and dared to lead troops to surround the palace. When he heard that it was the eunuch of the palace, he immediately withered.
These days, regardless of the question of whether to dare or not, other officials may have other reasons, but the eunuch leading troops to surround the palace can only be the emperor's order!
"This, what should we do? The former Lu Prince's Mansion was suddenly surrounded, and many people died. Could it be that we here... no, no! No... what should we do now..."
Thinking of how Prince Lu's Mansion was besieged not long ago, Prince Lu himself was only turned into a county prince, but most of Prince Lu's Mansion was "emptied", and hundreds of dead bodies were carried out from Prince Lu's Mansion afterwards...
The deputy steward trembled when he thought of this.
When encountering such a thing, the master may not die immediately, but the servant may become a fish in the pond of disaster!
The person who spoke to him also looked sad: "What should we do? What else can we do? Just let fate happen!"
Yes, in this situation, they may have to leave it to fate.
In addition to these servants in the outer court, the soldiers and servants in the inner court were as panicked as headless flies after receiving the news.
Among them, there were soldiers from the government who turned around and ran to a remote area, as if they were looking for a place to hide.
"Zhao Ba, you are so naive!"
"The soldiers are surrounding the house outside, not even a bird can fly out! It's really stupid to want to hide at this time. Not to mention the family law of the house, if people outside see it, they will definitely think of it as a bandit, intending to escape or resist. Maybe the swords will come down and kill him immediately."
The others were also moved when they saw it. There was a deputy captain in his forties who sneered. Seeing Zhao Ba San stop his feet, the deputy captain said with a cold face: "Besides, if you have the right to humiliate your ministers to death, you are the king's." Are the soldiers in the government just as panic-stricken as flies, forgetting even the word "death"?"
With that said, the deputy team turned around and headed towards the inner courtyard.
Several people looked at each other and then looked away.
In the past, when encountering trouble, even if it was life-threatening, it was their duty to serve as soldiers in the palace, and they were willing to defend the king from the sword. However, this was a eunuch leading troops to surround the palace, and the person who issued the order could only be the emperor!
How can they, as subjects, rebel against the party?
It doesn't matter if you die, eight generations of your ancestors have been regarded as rebels. After death, you won't have the shame to see your ancestors!
Besides, they were willing to follow Dai Wang because of the reputation of Dai Wang’s great-grandson. If Dai Wang is no longer his grandson, they will naturally not follow him again!
Thinking like this, they turned pale and peeped, intending to see what was going on.
Zhao Ba couldn't escape, his face was gloomy, and he suddenly said: "Brothers, you can't escape, but you can make meritorious service..."
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately covered his mouth: "You don't want your life? No one can spare anyone who betrays the Lord."
