"Your Majesty, Lord Chu, according to the information we have spied on, Liu Xiu, the highest authority in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Zheng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Bai Zhen, the commander, and some Jin Yiwei went to a certain sea area. He hasn’t returned either!”
Mingcheng said slowly.
"Didn't come back?"
When Tang Chen and Chu Zheng heard the news, they were stunned at first, and then Tang Chen said: "Mingcheng, what do you mean, Liu Xiu, Han Zheng, Bai Zhen and others have disappeared?"
"That's how it should be."
"Today, the palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty has become a mess. They have sent people to search the sea area, but nothing has been found so far."
Mingcheng handed over the specific content of the intelligence to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen flipped through the pages for a while, then looked up at Chu Zheng and said, "Chu Zheng, do you think the disappearance of Liu Xiu and others has anything to do with Elder Chu?"
"Your Majesty, this is unlikely. Whether Liu Xiu, Han Zheng, or Bai Zhen, they have no contact with Elder Chu."
"Elder Chu should not take action against them. After all, he is an honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect and has clear grievances. His friction with the Yunlong Sect will not be directed at Liu Xiu and others."
Chu Zheng replied after thinking for a long time.
In his opinion, Chu Feng was upright and a principled person who would not vent his anger on irrelevant people, so he believed that the disappearance of Liu Xiu and others had nothing to do with Chu Feng.
"That's true. Then how come Liu Xiu and others disappeared without incident?"
"Did they offend some powerful person? Or did they meet overseas monks, and then they had a conflict and were killed?"
Tang Chen guessed as he held his chin with his hand.
Although the Eastern Han Dynasty was also in turmoil, Liu Xiu himself was very powerful, and with the first and second leaders of the Jinyi Guards around him, it was almost impossible for those forces who secretly rebelled against him to intercept Liu Xiu and others. .
Since it was not done by people within the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was done by people outside the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, what you said is not impossible, but there is also a possibility that they encountered evil spirits."
"Although the evil spirits in the world are now huddled together because of the appearance of the Wine Sword Immortal, it does not mean that they will not cause harm to the world."
"So, I think the disappearance of Liu Xiu and others may also be related to evil spirits."
Chu Zheng added under Tang Chen's analysis.
"It is indeed possible."
"But you can ask Elder Chu about this after he comes back to see if he knows anything."
Tang Chen pondered.
"Your Majesty, I think if Liu Xiu and others are really killed, can we take the opportunity to send troops to bring down the Eastern Han Dynasty?"
"It's a good idea, but we can wait and see for a while. If Liu Xiu and others really don't return, the Eastern Han Dynasty will definitely be in civil strife. By then, we will wait until the Eastern Han Dynasty is almost in civil strife, and then give them a fatal blow. hit!"
A cold light flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.
Before, the Eastern Han Dynasty wanted to wait until both of them would lose in a fight with Tang Yong and then come and take advantage.
Now it’s time to repay him with his own way!
"Your Majesty has a good idea. I'll go down and talk to the general first and ask him to station some troops in Yancheng, which is adjacent to the Eastern Han Dynasty. If the time comes, we can attack directly."
"Um."
…
And at this time.
Eastern Han Dynasty, a certain sea area.
Around this sea area, there are many guards wearing yellow armor who are constantly searching.
They were all Imperial Guards of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu had been missing for many days. Guan Hu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and quickly brought people over to search for him.
Guan Hu knew the situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If Liu Xiu could not be found, there would definitely be civil strife in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Once there was civil strife in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his position as the leader of the Forbidden Army would most likely not be guaranteed, so he had to find Liu Xiu as soon as possible to keep his position.
"How's the search going? Is there any sign of the king, Han Zheng, and Bai Zhen?"
Guan Hu asked quickly after seeing the team returning from searching the east side of the sea area.
"My lord, there is no trace of the king and his companions."
The Imperial Guard team searching the sea to the east lowered their heads and replied.
"waste!"
"What a bunch of losers. You usually go to the brothel with me. All the "Hua Hua Cao Cao" are very good. Some of them want to find two or three in one night. Now I ask you to look for the king and the others, but you can't find them?!"
"roll!"
"Go and look for me again. If you can't find it, you'll never want to go to the brothel "Hua Hua Cao Cao" again!"
Guan Hu looked at the Forbidden Army team in front of him and cursed loudly.
"yes."
The Imperial Guards nodded quickly, and then quickly returned to the eastern sea area to continue looking for Liu Xiu and others.
You can eat less rice.
You can also drink less wine.
Even, you don’t have to go back home.
However, "flowers and flowers" are absolutely indispensable when going to a brothel.
After the people searching the eastern sea area left, the imperial army team searching the southern sea area also returned to Guan Hu.
"How's it going? Have you found any trace of the king and the others? Or have you discovered anything?"
Guan Hu stared at the search team in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
"No...no."
The search team looked at Guan Hu's eyes that were about to burst out with anger and hesitated.
"roll!"
"Get out of here you losers and continue searching!"
"If we can't find the king and others, or if we can't find any clues, I will tell your wives about you stealing the woman next door!"
Guan Hu roared loudly at the search team in front of him.
Guan Hu knew better than them about the bad things done by his men. Guan Hu even knew what posture they used to climb over the wall when they went to steal the woman next door.
"Yes, yes, sir, let's go take a look again immediately."
The search team quickly returned to the southern waters.
You can't let the tigress in your home know about stealing the woman next door.
If they knew about it and didn't cause uproar in the city, they would be "celebrities" by then.
When the team searching the western sea area not far away saw this scene, without saying a word, they turned back to the western sea area to continue searching.
"These bastards didn't even scold me!"
"See if they want to borrow money from me in the future, will I still lend it to them?!"
Looking at the team searching the western sea area, Guan Hu also cursed.
"Why haven't the people searching the northern sea come over yet? Let me scold you...oh no, you haven't reported the news yet? Are you being lazy?"
Guan Hu waited for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't see the team searching the northern sea coming, and he was a little puzzled.
And just when Guan Hu was about to go to the northern sea area, there was a forbidden army coming over from the northern sea area.
"How's it going? Is there any result?"
Guan Hu asked in a deep voice.
"Back to my lord, although we did not find the king and the two masters of Jinyiwei, we found a person not far away. Maybe this person knows the whereabouts of the king and the others."
After hearing the first half of his subordinate's report, Guan Hu was about to curse, but after hearing the second half of his subordinate's report, Guan Hu suppressed the curse words.
"Quick, take me to see it."
Although Guan Hu was not sure whether the person who appeared in this sea area knew the whereabouts of Liu Xiu and others, he at least found a clue.
"yes!"
The subordinate quickly took Guan Hu to the northern sea area.
After a while, Guan Hu saw other forbidden troops searching the northern sea gathered around a reef.
I saw a figure standing on the mossy reef with hands behind his back.
The man had a slender figure, a face as white as jade, and gleams of light in his narrow eyes.
The white Taoist robe he wore was also quite peculiar. There was a scorching sun embroidered on the front of the robe, and a crescent moon embroidered on the back...
