In the dark corner of the wall, there were a few faint red sparks, and a faint green smoke lingered in the air, blocking out the mosquitoes outside.
Although the clouds were thick and the wind and rain were blowing, you could vaguely see things through the doors and windows.
The three of them couldn't help but look awe-inspiring, looked hesitant, and looked at each other a few times.
"It's a very important matter. We can't be sure. It's just a guess."
But I saw this man smiling in a charming way, with a gentle smile.
"Don't worry, you guys. I was ordered to come here just to find out the inside story."
"If I were a member of King Qi, I wouldn't need to go to such trouble. I could take you to task based on the words I just heard."
"The King of Qi actually did this. Naturally, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. Why bother?"
As he spoke, there was a snap, and the fire was lit. He took a half step forward, letting the light shine on his face, which was white and beardless.
Several people suddenly understood.
"Are you...from the Imperial City Division?"
The man nodded slightly and responded: "I also came from the palace."
"Several of you, time is of the essence. The Imperial City Division has sent three people before... But even if there were internal agents, they all disappeared after coming in."
The eunuch's tone sounded serious.
"The palace is pressing urgently, so we have to come in person. Someone always has to report things here."
"Only when we have accurate confidence can we take action."
"Everyone, write...write down everything you know. It doesn't matter if you make guesses. Write as much as you can."
"After we finish writing...then we can do business...only then can we, the gentlemen, have a way to survive."
The eunuch seemed to be talking to himself, muttering softly. There were not many fluctuations in his tone, but it made several people feel a slight pressure.
This eunuch is so powerful in martial arts!
Several people believed the eunuch's identity.
This kind of martial arts and this kind of temperament are indeed like the eunuchs of the Imperial City Division.
As a person from the capital, especially a martial artist from Prince Qi's palace, you don't have to know anything else when it comes to important relationships, but you must always be able to distinguish martial arts.
All martial arts, after being immersed in them for a long time, have a unique temperament that is difficult for outsiders to imitate.
Not to mention the so clearly identifiable... palace martial arts.
Besides, can you not write now?
Indeed, if King Qi found out, there would be no need for evidence at all. Even King Qi Fu, who had the status of teacher and student, would not kill him at the slightest thought.
"As you said, we will write it now."
There were pens and ink prepared in the room, but I didn't dare to light candles. I only lit an oil lamp, which was not high enough to make the lamp flame as bright as a bean. I also specially placed a fan nearby to prevent the light from leaking out.
Several people wrote what they knew in turn and dried the ink.
"Father-in-law, I have finished writing."
The eunuch who was waiting quietly, who was sitting quietly like a wooden figure, watching the left and right, coughed slightly and looked away.
"Is it really finished? No need to check again? You know, you can't take it back after you send it in." The eunuch reminded.
I have to say that this is goodwill. The three of them took a deep breath. Xia Peiqiong was more suspicious. In fact, the three of them didn't know that King Qi was planning a big chaos. The iron barrels they were guarding must be the same. The three of them were also considered The team leaders and guest guests rarely have the opportunity to leave the house.
But, Qi Wangfu is really not afraid of death?
It's just that once he plots rebellion, at least three tribes will be killed, and the nine tribes will also be able to do it easily.
The reason for his death was simply to sacrifice his life for the country. Not only would he not be charged with treason, but he might have been granted a favor by the court - a posthumous title and a pension - which would have saved his family.
I am waiting for others, but I don’t want to die.
Since ancient times, the only difficulty is death. How many people can overcome it?
Not wanting to die, but also wanting to preserve the family, it was natural that he would break into the lower house even if he knew all the odds were against him.
Now, there are actually eunuchs, but it is exactly what they want.
Xia Peiqiong nodded solemnly: "It's settled to return to father-in-law."
The things to be handed over may even be seen by the emperor. Naturally, they have been checked repeatedly, and they have long been irreversible.
"Yes." Nodding slightly, the eunuch pulled out a stack of talismans from his sleeve.
"This is a demon detection talisman. It has no great use on its own, but it is extremely sensitive to demonic energy. Once activated, it will be burned as soon as it encounters the demonic wind."
"Originally it was used to detect demons, but the demonic atmosphere here is so hot that it doesn't seem to be of use at all."
I saw a slight touch of his fingertips, and the center of the talisman paper shone slightly, and then it burned on the ground, like paper soaked in oil, and burned out in an instant.
"We have practiced a little bit of Taoism."
"With the permission of the Emperor, I am allowed to use it in the capital!"
Seeing several people dumbfounded, the eunuch just said it.
"Everything has gone wrong, but this demon detection talisman is too simple, so it hasn't gone wrong so far."
"As long as it's burning, there must be evil spirits."
"If you have a demonic aura, I can take care of things here... I really don't want to get involved in this kind of thing."
The eunuch sighed slightly again, picked up the paper roll on the table, and dropped a thin black rope between the index finger of his right hand, with a small bamboo tube wrapped around the end of the black rope.
In front of several people, he rolled the paper carefully, stuffed it into the hollow compartment of the bamboo tube, and then sealed it.
"Due to the good moves in the past few times, not even the slightest news was spread, so when we came here, we never thought about leaving intact."
"This letter delivery does not depend on us."
Just listen to his explanation, and then the bamboo tube emits a faint white light, which lasts for a moment.
Just disappear.
"It's done. I don't want to break out, so I'll take a chance with you all and wait until King Qi leaves the house. Then I'll find a way to get out."
Xia Peiqiong and the other three were stunned.
As a leader of the team, he naturally knew that the law was forbidden in the capital. Now that this move proved to be indeed related to the Holy Lord, his suspicions were almost all gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"God, we finally have a way to survive!"
royal palace
When the wind and rain subsided, I leaned on the railing at night and looked out, blowing the smell of rain. I could vaguely see the spread of many mansions. The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, a secret message has arrived." The personal eunuch crept in and knelt on the ground.
"Read it." The emperor ordered casually without opening his eyes.
"I don't dare." The little eunuch kowtowed heavily.
In recent days, the emperor has been in a bad mood and has replaced two batches of young eunuchs.
"That's all...bring it to me."
The old emperor's voice was a little weak. He turned around and took his seat. He saw that it was windy and rainy outside, but neither cold nor hot inside. There were eight eunuchs standing on both sides, all holding fly whisks in their hands and not squinting.
The secret envelope was encased in a bamboo tube. The emperor opened it with great effort. When he unfolded it and took a look, his chest suddenly heaved violently.
"Asshole, this evil beast!"
Although he had been prepared, when he actually saw what was written on the paper, the old emperor still felt a rush of blood rushing into his brain, and his body was shaking with anger.
There was a sudden dizziness in front of my eyes, and countless gold stars appeared. Fortunately, I lay down on the soft bed and calmed down. Then I came back to my senses, and my heart was already cold.
"This treacherous son! This treacherous son! He actually ignored Taizu's holy instructions and led demons into the house..."
For a moment, the emperor actually felt sad, "King Qi, do you know that just this has cut off your slim possibility of inheriting the throne?"
