The news was shocking enough, and it was enough to make even a calm person like Pang Ban lose his composure.
Because if he was just a Jin king, Pang Ban wouldn't be too worried about anything. Now that the emperor has ruled the empire for decades, his power is unparalleled. It is simply impossible for King Jin to regain the throne. No one will be so stupid to jump out and respond. At most, it will be some commotion, which is harmless.
But Yang Yansi appeared with King Jin extremely unexpectedly. Things are different.
What is Yang Yansi's identity? Even though he is now hidden by the emperor, he is still the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is also the general of the country. His prestige in the army and among the people is one of the best.
Even though there is no direct evidence that Yang Yansi was responsible for the self-respect of the bandits last time, Yang Yansi definitely played an important role in it, otherwise he would not be disgusted by the emperor. The reason why he didn't die should be that the emperor was considering the war that had not yet started, and wanted to save some face for the generals in the army, otherwise he would not have allowed Yang Yansi to live until now with the title of minister.
Looking at it alone, neither Yang Yansi nor King Jin, to be honest, looked down upon Pang Ban very much. Although both of them were monks in the Xuanhai realm, so what? There are so many monks in the Xuanhai realm, but I have never seen anyone who dares to come to the imperial city to show off their power? Not afraid of death or something?
But if Yang Yansi and King Jin come together, the situation will be different. If Yang Yansi ascends to the throne and makes a call, coupled with his status as King of Jin, there might really be some waves here. The key is that Pang Ban knows that the emperor at this moment is already dying. In addition, the country is currently facing internal and external difficulties, and the variables are not small.
"Where's King Ling?" Pang Ban couldn't help but feel worried. At the same time, he was also wondering about Yang Yansi and King Jin. What was the situation with King Ling Shu? Why did you get involved in this matter?
"Unclear. According to our information, the teahouse that King Jin went to belongs to King Ling, and the violinist he met is also a frequent visitor to King Ling's palace. But currently, King Ling is not directly involved."
That piano player is Ji Ji. But before, the people under Shen Hao's care did not report the news about Ji Ji being Yueying Tower, so Jiang Cheng didn't know. Pang Ban also seemed to have no grasp of the situation.
"Check! It's impossible for Prince Jin to go alone to listen to piano music for two hours. He must have another purpose."
"It's my lord!"
"Go down. If this matter can't be delayed, I have to go to the palace overnight." Pang Ban did not leave Jiang Cheng to continue the discussion. He stood up in front of Jiang Cheng, put on his coat, summoned the guards, and hurried out the door. .
Just like Jiang Cheng looked at the problem before, this news was even more nervous in Pang Ban's eyes because of the difference in information.
Separating from Jiang Cheng, Pang Ban went to the palace all the way. He waited outside the palace gate for more than half an hour before someone came out with the emperor's warrant to take him in. This is not the end yet. After entering the palace gate, there are five checkpoints along the way. Only after all are correct can Pang Ban move forward in the palace. During this process, Pang Ban could clearly feel that there were countless auras locked on his body. He was definitely a master with similar cultivation level to him.
In Fu'an Palace, they saw a tired-looking emperor and a dull-looking Yang Xiu-sheng.
"Your Majesty, I have met with Master Yang."
The emperor leaned forward, sat down, waved his hands, and closed his eyes. Yang Xiu Sheng, on the other hand, nodded to Pang Spot as a greeting.
"Tell me something." The emperor was really tired. He could only sleep for a short time every night. This was a rare time for him to relax and ignore the pain. But he was disturbed by Pang Ban and was in a bad mood, but he also understood that Pang Ban came there late at night for something important.
"Your Majesty, Heishui has found out the whereabouts of Prince Jin."
In one sentence, not only did the emperor sit up straight and open his eyes, but Yang Xiu Sheng next to him also looked over with the same serious expression.
"Found it? Where is it?" The emperor was a little surprised. He had previously had a "give it a try" attitude, and had not thought that the intelligence system that Xuan Qingwei had just created could help in this regard, but he got an unexpected surprise. How many days has it been? The so-called Black Water seems to have some ability.
Pang Ban told the news reported by Jiang Cheng in detail before, without adding any exaggeration or adding his own opinions, just a simple retelling.
Pang Ban knew that it was absolutely unacceptable for him to think about this kind of thing. The emperor will make his own judgment. If he needs to hear your opinion, he will ask again. If you didn’t ask, then don’t talk too much.
"Wuzhuang? Yang Yansi?!" The emperor raised his brows, turned to look at Yang Xiu Sheng next to him, and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"
Yang Xiu Sheng was silent for a while and then shook his head and said: "Impossible. I personally cut Yang Yansi's pulse. He is at the first level of Xuanhai. It is impossible to break the pulse cut method. And I sent a Golden Sword monk to personally Monitor his every move, if someone comes into contact with him, there is no way I won’t receive the message.”
Although Yang Xiu Sheng didn't say it directly, his words were clearly full of doubts, and he was also clearly questioning the information Pang Ban told.
The emperor had another opinion, frowning and said: "There are no absolutes in the world. Uncle, can the method of cutting off the pulse you mentioned really guarantee that there is no magic method to break it? In addition, when did the Golden Sword monk you arranged contact you recently? ?”
"We are in contact every day. This is the task I gave him. Every move Yang Yansi makes every day needs to be reported, and there is never any delay or omission." It is precisely because of this that Yang Xiu Sheng finds it incredible, and at the same time he has to doubt Pang Ban. bring news.
The emperor glanced at Pang Ban in front of him, but did not ask. Instead, he continued to say to Yang Xiu Sheng, "Uncle, can you still contact that person now?"
"Okay, Qianli Yin can be contacted at any time. Then I'll ask him right now."
"Wait a minute!" Pang Ban had to interrupt at this time. Seeing that the emperor and Yang Xiu Sheng turned to look at him, he explained: "Your Majesty, Master Yang, you can contact the Golden Sword monk next to Yang Yansi, but please think of your words and reasons first. If things over there have changed, you can go there rashly. It’s very easy to alert someone.”
The emperor nodded in agreement. Yang Xiu Sheng thought for a while to show that he understood what Pang Ban meant. After thinking clearly, he took out a Thousand Miles Note and started to contact the golden sword he had arranged next to Yang Yansi.
The emperor and Pang Ban didn't know what Yang Xiu Sheng said to the other party, but it didn't take long for Yang Xiu Sheng's sudden change in expression to indicate that something was wrong.
"Something happened." Yang Xiu Sheng's face turned pale as he handed the Thousand Miles of Musical Notes in his hand to the emperor.
"I said that the situation in the imperial city has been tense recently. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Yansi will inevitably become the target of various forces. I asked him if he needed me to ask Li Ming to assist him. He replied that no. But there is no way in Fenghong Villa. There is no monk named Li Ming."
