The two came outside the study room and asked to see Kangxi. Kangxi said: "Come in." After the two went in and saluted, Kangxi cursed: "Wei Xiaobao, I asked you to go to the Shaolin Temple to do something, but who told you to meddle in your own business? Listen to the nonsense of the villain. Eight ways, falsely accusing the hero, and doing this nonsense, won't it chill the hero? Those messy words are not allowed to be mentioned again from now on. If a word or a half is leaked, please bring it up and see us."
Xiang Yan felt cold in his heart. Kangxi trusted Wu Sangui so much, how could I provoke him to kill Wu Sangui? But doesn’t the history book say that he had long wanted to withdraw from the vassal?
Wei Xiaobao said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Xiaoyan has something important to report to the Emperor in secret." Kangxi ordered the young eunuch serving in the study to step back and said seriously: "Speak!"
Xiang Yan said: "The emperor ordered Xiaobao and his slaves to go to Wutai Mountain to find out the news about the old emperor. Because the journey was far away, Xiaobao hired a carriage to travel. Not long after we set out, three guards caught up with the two slaves and wanted to attack us. A vicious move. Fortunately, the coachman Xiaobao found was a master of concealment and captured the three guards. After interrogation, the three guards said that they were sent by the Queen Mother to kill the slaves. Not long after, another one A master from the Dragon Cult named Deng Bingchun came to capture the slave..."
To explain clearly the reason why Xiang Yan was captured by the Shenlong Cult, we cannot avoid the haunted house and Xu Tianchuan, the Queen Mother, Liu Yan and others. However, neither Wei Xiaobao nor Xiang Yan wanted Kangxi to know the existence of Fang Yi and the little princess, and neither did Wei Xiaobao. Leak the news about Xu Tianchuan, Grandma Zhuang and Tao Hongying to Kangxi.
In the end, Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yanyi discussed and decided to cover up the news about Fang Yi, the little princess, and Grandma Zhuang, and said that Xu Tianchuan was the coachman Wei Xiaobao accidentally hired. He also concealed the news that Liu Yan had kidnapped Wei Xiaobao, and said that it was Deng Bingchun who directly Catch Xiang Yan to the Dragon Sect.
Later, Xiang Yan described in detail how Master Hong ordered himself, Lu Gaoxuan, and Fat Toutuo to snatch food from Kangxi's hands and rob Chen Yuanyuan. On his way back to Beijing, he happened to meet Wei Xiaobao and discovered how the Wangwu faction assassinated Wei Xiaobao.
Kangxi was furious after hearing this and shouted: "How dare you Wei Xiaobao, how dare you Xiang Yan, how dare you slander me for wanting to seize Princess Pingxi!" Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan were so frightened that their knees went weak and they fell to the ground. Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. The slaves slandered the Emperor only when they were facing a life-or-death situation. But Leader Hong knew that the Emperor had thoughts about Chen Yuanyuan..."
Kangxi shouted angrily: "Nonsense, when have I ever had any thoughts about Chen Yuanyuan? Am I such a lustful person?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes! Leader Hong wanted to use the emperor's hand to snatch Chen Yuanyuan, but he clearly didn't do it. The emperor takes it seriously. And the queen mother seems to have some connection with the Dragon Sect." Kangxi shouted again: "Nonsense. How could the queen mother's golden branches and jade leaves have anything to do with the world?"
Wei Xiaobao said again: "Yes, yes! Your Majesty, when we told Deng Bingchun that the Emperor ordered people from Mongolia and Tibet to arrest Chen Yuanyuan, Deng Bingchun said that the people from Mongolia and Tibet were friends with Wu Sangui and would never go to arrest Chen Yuanyuan. It looks like Mongolia There seems to be a connection between , Tibet, Wu Sangui and the Shenlong Sect." Kangxi pondered for a while and said: "This is none of your business, just do your thing well, and you don't need to worry about the Shenlong Sect's affairs. Just step back. Go and do your thing!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes!" He kowtowed and resigned.
After Wei Xiaobao left, Xiang Yan was so frightened that his heart beat wildly and he didn't dare to speak, waiting for Kangxi to show his resignation. Kangxi was silent, and Xiang Yan couldn't help but start thinking: "Now there are only Kangxi and me in the study room. Can I kidnap Kangxi and escape? But Kangxi is not a soft persimmon, and I may not be able to do it to him. Besides, Even if I take him hostage, where can I escape? But if I don't do anything, I just wait to die?"
When Xiang Yan was in trouble, Kangxi suddenly asked Xiang Yan: "You came to Beijing with Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo. Do you know where Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo are now?" Xiang Yan said: "I don't know. They didn't follow the slaves yesterday. The two of them returned to the military camp, but they agreed to find a place to live in Beijing first and then contact the slaves. The two slaves went back to the palace directly today and haven't heard from them yet." Kangxi asked again: "How many people does the Shenlong Sect have?" Xiang Yan Said: "There are thousands of people on Shenlong Island, and I heard they said there are tens of thousands more on the shore."
Kangxi clapped his hands and ordered the eunuch waiting outside the upper study, saying: "Call Duolong to come in." After a while, Duolong entered the upper study, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "This slave is here to greet the emperor." Kangxi said: "Duolong "Have you ever heard of the Shenlong Cult?" Duolong said, "Back to the Emperor: I have never heard of the Shenlong Cult." Kangxi said, "Step back!" Duolong withdrew.
Kangxi said again: "Xiang Yan, if Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo contact you, you will report to me immediately." Xiang Yan said: "Yes!" Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Okay, you should step down too!" Yan felt relieved and retreated.
Xiang Yan estimated that Kangxi was anxious to know the whereabouts of Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo, so he didn't dare to delay any longer. After exiting the study, he left the palace and wandered around. Suddenly someone behind him shouted: "Eunuch Xiang." Xiang Yan turned around and saw Lu Gaoxuan waving not far away. Xiang Yan followed Lu Gaoxuan to a secluded place.
Lu Gao Under consideration." Lu Gaoxuan said: "So you are not sure? What if he doesn't agree? You'd better take us to see the Queen Mother!"
How dare Xiang Yan take them to see the Queen Mother? He shied away: "It's not easy to see the Queen Mother. It's not something you can do if you want to. Well, you wait patiently for a few days and I'll try my best to arrange it." Lu Gaoxuan said suspiciously: "You don't know how. Are you deliberately trying to shirk it, don't you want to do things for the headmaster?" Xiang Yan was startled and said hurriedly: "How could it be possible? I can't do anything if I can't get the antidote." Lu Gaoxuan said: "It's good that you know." Xiang Yan secretly said Hate, said: "How should I inform you if I have news?"
Lu Gaoxuan took Xiang Yan to the courtyard they rented. It was very quiet in Xuanwumen Fafa Alley. As soon as Xiang Yan returned to the palace, he immediately went to find Kang Xi: "Your Majesty, I have found out where Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo stayed." Kang Xi nodded and said, "Yes. Summon Duo Long in quickly." Xiang Yan agreed, and Duo Long will be there soon. Long Chuan came into the study room.
After Duolong came in, Kangxi said: "Xiang Yan, tell Manager Duo about the situation of Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Tou Tuo." Xiang Yan immediately told Duo Long the names, appearances and addresses of Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Tou Tuo. Kangxi said: "Duolong, send someone to try their skills. Also, keep it secret and don't reveal your identity. If a fourth person knows about this, you two should come to see him."
