With the army drawn out, Takeyoda took a breath, his heart getting colder and colder. A gust of wind came over and made his whole body tremble slightly. He shivered for a while and then went back to his tent.
I felt a little regretful. This questioning was indeed in compliance with the procedures, but it had greatly offended my grandson.
It's not that Takeyoda doesn't know, or even doesn't want to go further, but he has already reached the limit of his doubts. No matter how many households there are, it's simply impossible to do it for just one thousand households.
"I hope it is really sent by the emperor!"
Just thinking about it, he stepped into the tent. Suddenly Takeyoda paused and looked over.
In the tent, Gao Ze was sitting upright, sneering, but he was surrounded by strange guards, all of them pressing their swords and calmly surrounding him.
"It's not good!" Takeyoda's hair stood on end. The chill not only hit his body, but also rushed to Tianling Gai.
"Kneel down!" Gao Ze shouted: "Do you know your guilt?"
Takeyoda didn't dare not listen. He was heartbroken, his legs were weak, and he knelt down: "Father-in-law, the general is just following the court procedures and checking the decree. He is not intentionally rude!"
"Didn't you mean to be rude?" Gao Ze smiled half-smilingly, with a strange look on his face, and suddenly slapped the case: "Then how can you respond to the Imperial City's mission?"
"Right, a third-class salary holder from the Imperial City Division!"
Through the Imperial City Department, people who were placed in the military and official residences had no power, but they had an extra salary. The third-class salary was a very high salary.
"I...I..." This was supposed to be a secret, and the only ones who could have known it were our own people, but instead of being overjoyed, Takeyoda was trembling all over. He knelt down again with a "poof" and shouted: "Father-in-law, I...I am sent by destiny, and I can't help myself..."
"Father, I am willing to make meritorious service and serve my great grandson!" As he said this, Wu Toyota crawled a few steps and burst into tears.
"Stop!" a guard shouted.
Before he finished speaking, Takeyoda suddenly took out a dagger, threw it at his face, and shouted: "Do it!"
But with just a "clang" sound, Takeyoda's daggers were shocked and broke, but Takeyoda still rushed forward, rushing towards Gao Ze, trying to capture him.
Gao Ze was furious and snorted: "That bitch deserves to die."
Lifting his right foot slightly, he flicked the toe of his boot. The speed was so fast that Takeyoda couldn't avoid it. He fell to the ground with a bang. A guard came forward and put his foot on his abdomen. This foot was extremely heavy. Takeyoda immediately fell to the ground. He screamed like a slaughtered pig, and in an instant his face turned blue and he was about to faint.
Gao Ze sneered, looked outside the tent, and said, "It's time."
"Ah..." Just after he finished speaking, there were noises and screams outside.
Someone shouted: "The imperial court punishes rebels, but those who kneel down and raise their hands will not be killed!"
Someone else shouted: "They are the rebels, let's fight together"
But the shouting did not last long, only a popping sound was heard. Everyone in the army knew it was the sound of bowstrings, followed by screams.
After opening the tent a little, I saw that most of the people had retreated to the side. There were twenty or thirty people in a mess. Some resisted, some begged for mercy, and some wanted to escape. Half of them were dead, and their bodies were scattered on the scene. It was too horrible to see.
Although Takeyoda was lying on the ground, at first glance, he was already in despair. These were all his own people, and no one seemed to be missing.
"Rebel, rebel!" Takeyoda roared angrily. If he killed one of himself, it could be said that he had offended the grandson. But the people on the list to be killed - these people were all the emperor's people - must be because the grandson wanted to rebel. .
He just roared and struggled hard, and saw the guard casually pull out the knife and touch his neck. The blade passed by and cut his neck in half. Blood splattered. His throat suddenly rattled and his body twitched.
Gao Ze breathed a sigh of relief, stepped out slowly, stretched out his arms, and coldly ordered: "Kill everyone according to the list, leaving no one behind!"
"My grandson is still waiting for us!"
After just a moment, the camp calmed down. After leaving the guards behind, 20 guards, all wearing raincoats, ran with Gao Ze in their arms.
The horses were hurriedly moving, gusts of wind blew in their faces, and fine rain hit their faces. From a distance, they saw a team like black snakes.
When they arrived at a certain place, the eunuch got off his horse and whispered a report. Someone bowed to the curtain again and reported it, and then rolled up the yellow curtain.
Several bright pearls were inlaid on the top of the carriage, emitting a soft shimmer, and there was a person inside.
"My servant pays homage to His Majesty the Grand Sun!" Eunuch Gao Ze said that he was staying at the camp, but he rushed over after a while. He was still clean, but there was a bit more murderous look between his eyebrows.
"Come in and talk!" Su Ziji didn't seem surprised. He sat upright with a calm expression. This calmness also infected the people around him.
"Don't panic when faced with danger, don't be alarmed by changes. Your Highness is truly a famous general."
However, many things still have to be arranged and dealt with.
The carriage was not too small, and there were several people arriving one after another.
Su Ziji asked them to come in batches and report one by one.
The military situation was urgent. Gao Ze did not dare to delay. As soon as he came in, he reported directly: "Your Highness, everyone has been dealt with. According to your order, Wu Toyota, Xu Wuqi and others have all been executed."
When he said this, Gao Ze seemed to be killing an ant: "Now, no one can connect with Yulinwei camp, at least there will be no problem in a few days."
The trouble was cleared.
Su Ziji nodded and asked, "You did a good job. Where are you from?"
"Servant Gao Ze, originally belonged to Eunuch Zhao. He is working as a replacement in the Royal Horse Prison and keeps in touch with Eunuch Yu."
"Someone was keeping vigil a few nights ago, and something went wrong. Eunuch Zhao ordered the slaves to make up for the shift, and he just got the imperial edict tonight!"
Afraid that Su Ziji might not be able to figure it out, Gao Ze added a few more words.
"Eunuch Yu is the old man in front of the empress, and the servants also followed the order of the empress to serve His Highness the Grand Sun."
Su Ziji listened to the report quietly and understood.
The eunuch on duty was not necessarily Gao Ze's turn originally, but he tampered with others and caused things to go wrong, so he naturally took his place and got the job.
"Before leaving the palace, I passed by the Pingqing Hall and saw flames burning outside. King Qi's army was already close to the palace wall."
This is a smart eunuch.
Su Ziji nodded again and took an appreciative look: "Is there anything else?"
"My servant was originally arranged to handle Concubine Mei's affairs, but she died of illness last month, so the palace was closed, and my servant was placed opposite the Imperial Medical Office."
"I heard the medical ladies from the Imperial Medical Office chatting, saying that there are not enough medicinal materials recently."
"Oh? What medicine are you lacking?" Su Ziji's heart moved.
"There are Curculigo, Zhu Ying, Yinrong, Cynomorium, Dipsacus Dipsacus, Angelica sinensis, Dendrobium soaked in wine, Ophiopogon japonicus stir-fried with the heart removed, white chrysanthemum, Eucommia ulmoides with salt, Cistanche deserticola washed with wine, Xiliang Mountain Cornus, Nanshan Gold Wolfberry flowers, Tsinghua Garden salt, Seven-inch White Poria..."
"There are also vaguely ginseng, alchemy, schisandra, and demon exquisite."
"Ashamed, this slave only heard so much."
If others heard it, even a doctor might not understand it yet, but Su Ziji heard it and understood it with the help of alchemy skills, and he understood it instantly.
The emperor has been taking it for a long time, and the Xiaohuan Dan is no longer effective.
Even if there is any, it will be minimal and unsatisfactory.
The emperor is trying other remedies.
Schisandra chinensis, ginseng...it seems to be Shengmai Drink? The so-called decoction for dying?
But Shengmai Yin actually has no miraculous effect, and it is definitely not as good as Xiao Huan Dan.
The demon is exquisite, and he doesn’t know what it is, but he has a vague guess... Xiao Huan Dan is a medicine that uses the heart core of the monster as a medicine, and takes its life essence as a medicine.
But it's not enough now.
So, it's the big demon's turn.
Kill the big demon and take the life essence compound medicine.
Su Ziji fell silent.
The emperor kills the demon like this, but the demon doesn’t want to die!
