After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Emperor Xianlong began to display his imperial power.
Jiedushi was a serious concern of the imperial court. Taking this opportunity to weaken the power of Jiedushi was the most important thing. Now that Wang Yan had already offered his advice, Emperor Xianlong directly used the advice given by Wang Yan.
The majesty of the emperor is fully demonstrated at this moment.
Those Jiedu envoys who killed without blinking an eye on the battlefield were as docile as sheep in front of Emperor Xianlong.
Seize power?
Military power, financial power, and the power to appoint and remove subordinate officials, no matter what kind of loss, the Jiedushi would feel sad.
But what can be done?
When the order of favor comes from the mouth of the emperor, can they still jump out and refuse?
What's more, they are in Chang'an City now, and the city's soldiers are only a few dozen people.
If the emperor really wants to deal with them, all he needs to do is issue an imperial edict.
Then there will be an influx of Imperial Guards to capture them and throw them into prison.
Even if they feel aggrieved at this moment, they can only break their teeth and swallow it.
...
...
Zhao Xun obviously doesn't care about these things. All he can think about now is how to deal with Princess Xuanhuai.
But Princess Xuanhuai seemed to be aware of the danger and had no intention of taking action, at least not yet.
Is this guy waiting for an opportunity?
As expected of an old woman who has lived for seventy years, she has rich experience.
However, Zhao Xun did not dare to take it lightly.
Because he was in the light and the enemy was in the dark, even if Princess Xuanhuai took action, he would still have time to react, so he must not be careless.
Of course there is another possibility...
...
...
The imperial city, the yamen for bad people, and the dungeon.
In a spacious and clean single room, a man in his thirties sat cross-legged.
This man is Nanfeng, or Guyer.
Princess Xuanhuai of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the male favorite, her face, and her lover.
Since he was sealed in the gourd by Zhao Xun with the help of the mountain chief and brought back to the imperial city, he was imprisoned in the bad guys' yamen.
Because it involves Princess Xuanhuai and other past events from the previous dynasty, the bad guys are very cautious about Nanfeng's trial and do not dare to be careless in the slightest.
If Wan Nanfeng made any mistake, they would not be able to report it to the emperor.
Although they knew that this man had committed a heinous crime, but the emperor did not issue an imperial decree to kill him, they could only provide him with good food and drink.
Nanfeng seemed to feel the fear of bad people, and he was eating and drinking when he should.
But today is different.
Nanfeng has been meditating, and no one knows what he is thinking.
Even Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's mind-observation skills are not good, because Nanfeng's cultivation realm has three levels.
The mind-observation technique happens to be ineffective for practitioners above the third level.
"Brother Wei, tell me, is Nan Feng really over ten years old?"
"According to the inferences recorded in history books, he is really over ten years old."
"This is really strange. This guy looks to be in his thirties at most."
"Ah, let's not talk about this anymore, drink, drink."
"Brother Wei, Mr. Feng has an order not to drink while in custody. Drinking will cause trouble."
"I asked you why you are so stubborn. There are only you and me here. If you don't tell me and I don't tell, who will know?"
"That's true..."
"Two drinks then?"
"Well, drink two drinks. Let's just drink two drinks. There's nothing wrong with drinking too much and causing trouble, but we're not greedy."
The two of them filled their glasses with wine and drank it happily.
"Haha, this is so fucking enjoyable. This wine is very soft in the mouth, and then becomes stronger. It's so refreshing."
The two of them were drinking happily when they suddenly felt a demonic wind blowing up, and then their spines went cold, as if they were being sucked by something and they were thrown towards the wall.
They instinctively waved their arms and kicked their legs to resist, but with little success.
Soon they were stuck to the wall, unable to move at all.
The two of them could clearly feel their souls floating out of their bodies, and they were stunned.
Soon their souls were completely sucked out by a huge force, leaving only two empty shells, as terrifying as mummies.
Nanfeng suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, quickly stood up and walked towards the cell door.
Sure enough, the face of Princess Xuanhuai that captivated the country and the city appeared in front of him.
"You shouldn't have come."
Nanfeng shook his head and said: "This place is full of traps. They deliberately relaxed their defenses and only asked two jailers to guard me, just to lure you into the bait."
"I know, I know everything you said, but I just can't sit idly by and watch you suffer in prison."
Princess Xuanhuai's delicate, wrinkle-free face was now distorted by pain.
"I will come regardless of whether it is a trap or not. Today is the best opportunity. The emperor held a banquet in the Furong Garden of Qujiang Pond, and all the major governors were there. In order to protect the emperor's safety, the Chang'an City Forbidden Army and the soldiers and horses of various yamen basically Everyone is concentrated in Nancheng. I am taking action in Beicheng now, where I have the greatest chance of success."
Nanfeng nodded when he heard this and said, "You weren't stared at when you came here, right?"
"How could it be? I used air escape to enter the prison. No one saw me except these two jailers. Now both of them have turned into mummies."
After seventy years of erosion, Princess Xuanhuai is now extremely cold and devoid of any emotions.
If there is such a silk, it is also to the south wind.
"I'll get you out."
Princess Xuanhuai channeled her inner strength, and the powerful Gang Qi instantly shattered the prison door.
Nanfeng immediately walked out of the cell and hugged Princess Xuanhuai tightly.
"Let's go out first. This is not the place to talk. It's too dangerous."
Although she deeply loves Nanfeng, Princess Xuanhuai still remains very rational.
She knew very well that the risks of continuing to stay were very high.
There was only an hour left for her, and she had to get out of danger as soon as possible.
"Is your cultivation still there?"
Princess Xuanhuai asked.
Nanfeng shook his head and said: "No more, no more drops. All my cultivation strength was destroyed by the mountain chief."
Nanfeng looked very helpless when he said this.
Princess Xuanhuai's chest rose and fell sharply, and she clenched her fists in anger.
"Why would the mountain chief do this? This is our royal family matter. Why would he, a cultivator and an outsider, get involved."
"Maybe it's because of Zhao Xun."
"Zhao Xun? Is that the bad guy in the scarlet robe?"
"Why, you know him too?"
"I once met him at Yuzhen Temple in Zhongnan Mountain. At that time, he was ordered to investigate the case and found Yuzhen Temple. I had no choice but to kill him and wanted to get rid of him, but a stinky Taoist priest showed up halfway..."
Princess Xuanhuai was very unhappy when she recalled this experience: "Why does this guy have so many backers, either Taoism or Confucianism?"
"That's all, let's go out first and then find a chance to take revenge."
Princess Xuanhuai grabbed Nanfeng's hand, recited the mantra, and activated the Buddhist air escape technique.
