The Wang Huan in front of him suddenly changed his usual flattery, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly:
"Sage, doesn't this soup taste good? You often praise the five-color soup made by the empress as the most delicious soup in the world. In order to eliminate your suspicion, I hired the best cook in the capital to make it."
The Human Emperor's face became increasingly pale, he waved his sleeves and said
"The five-color soup made by the Empress is not good, but it is the best just because she made it."
Wang Huan nodded
"I see, but that's not important anymore. Now that things have come to this, please ask the saint to follow the old slave for a while."
The Human Emperor suddenly felt sleepy all over his body, his whole body was weak, but his heart was extremely anxious. Looking at Wang Huan in front of him, he did not dare to show his timidity, he forced himself to stand up, and shouted fiercely:
"Somebody come!"
But no one responded for a while.
He looked outside the door and was horrified to find that the Imperial Guards who were originally guarding the door were nowhere to be seen!
"Saint, save your energy. I have served you for most of my life. Everything in this palace is in my eyes. I have thought of everything you think of."
Hearing this, the Human Emperor became more and more frightened and angry. He never thought that the person in front of him who had been with him for countless years would dare to attack him in the end.
"Why."
The human emperor's forehead was covered with sweat, and his upper eyelids kept closing downwards. Even if he would quickly open his eyes again, how long could he hold on with the sleepiness sweeping over his body.
In the corridor outside the door, rustling footsteps kept coming, and a group of masked men in black rushed in.
When Wang Huan saw the reinforcements arriving, he became more confident. He came to the Human Emperor early, bowed respectfully, and said
"It's nothing, I just want to ask the saint to accompany the old slave out of the palace for a walk."
………………
June 9th, early morning.
A forbidden soldier wearing armor suddenly rode a horse on Taiyang Road and passed by the Prime Minister's mansion. Seeing that the door of the Prime Minister's mansion was open, he rode his horse straight into the mansion, causing the housekeeper and servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion to curse.
But he didn't care. He directly pulled out the sword from his waist and scolded him coldly.
"Where is the Prime Minister!"
When the servants saw how ferocious the Forbidden Army was, they immediately lost their temper and looked towards the garden in the distance.
"drive!"
The forbidden soldier raised his whip, and a neighing sound suddenly echoed throughout the palace.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves outside the garden alerted the Prime Minister who was feeding the fish in the morning. He was angry and wanted to curse, but he heard the forbidden soldier outside the garden say:
"Prince Xiang, something happened in the palace. The saint was kidnapped by gangsters in his study last night and is missing. The emperor and empress orders you to come to the palace to meet him as soon as possible!"
After saying that, without waiting for the Prime Minister's reaction, he heard another "drive", and the imperial army rushed out of the Prime Minister's Mansion on horseback and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Kunlun.
The wind and snow were like every day in the past, mercilessly raging in this cold place.
Mo Bei, dressed in an old tiger skin, trudged forward on the snowy field. The flying snow kept eroding his sight in front of him. The cold wind in his ears almost blocked all his hearing. It seemed that no matter how loud the sound between heaven and earth was, it could not cover him. Can't stop the howling wind.
There were two rows of extremely deep footprints behind him, one row of larger footprints and the other row of smaller footprints, like a woman's footprints.
For a moment, a very disharmonious artistic conception appeared among the falling snow in the sky. Mobei's sight, hearing, and smell were completely blocked by the snowstorm on Kunlun. However, he still noticed the slightest trace of the falling snow in the sky. Disharmonious.
He shook his head slightly and said to himself
"If you break Feng Xue's artistic conception, Feng Xue will not take advantage of you."
Then, he slowly stretched out his hand, raised it in front of his face, and shook it gently. But at this moment, a sharp arrow came through the snow and shot directly between his eyebrows, but was firmly grasped by the hand he just held. .
Not long after, a woman’s shout came from the front
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Zhuang Xiuyu, who was also dressed in tiger skin, stepped awkwardly on the snow prints and hurried over in a hurry.
Mo Bei shook his head indifferently.
"If you want to shoot me, you're still far away."
Zhuang Xiuyu's delicate face was flushed red from the cold in the wind and snow. She was wearing another old tiger skin, and her hands were already turning purple at this moment.
She raised her hand and slowly let it go, only to see that the red bow in her hand was already stuck to her hand.
A pair of big watery eyes looked at Mo Bei pitifully.
"Uncle Master, I'm so cold. Let's finish training here today."
Looking at Zhuang Xiuyu's red face, Mo Bei was silent for a while and nodded slowly.
"Okay, Chang An has received a letter. Let's go back to the village and have a look."
"Did you get a letter from sir?"
Zhuang Xiuyu's already red face turned even redder. She excitedly opened her legs and ran towards the village.
…………
Northern border, Huangye Village.
Chang An is saying goodbye to everyone
"Everyone, now that the case in Zhoujia Village has been investigated, I will take my leave."
The village chief held Chang An's hand with tears in his eyes, and the villagers behind him also looked at Chang An gratefully.
"I didn't expect that this fat man turned out to be the murderous devil."
The village chief recalled that the day before yesterday, Chang An told him what happened when Zhang Yuguan killed more than 300 people in Zhoujia Village, and his mood was still agitated.
"No wonder Fatty Zhang couldn't find out the real murderer after searching for so long. It turns out that he himself is the murderer."
The villagers clenched their fists with indignation, wishing to dig Zhang Yuguan out from the ground and slap him severely.
"Daxia Chang!"
But at this moment, a child ran over and emerged from the crowd with a small hand, holding a package in his hand.
"The Lord of the City sent a package, saying it was sent to you by the number one scholar in the capital."
The child said in a milky voice.
When Chang An heard this, his face darkened. He took the package and opened it. Inside was a letter and half a silk book.
I saw the envelope written on it, "Brother Chang An opens it personally."
The signature below reads, Bu Qingwen.
On this day, except Chang Sheng, the lord of Honghua City in Taiyang City, all the city lords in the world received letters from Taiyang City at almost the same time, all of which were written by Bu Qingwen.
Outside the city lord's palace in Liangzhou City, the carriage was ready in a hurry. Zhao Qingming looked in a hurry. After receiving the letter from the imperial capital, he hurriedly ordered people to pack the carriage.
In about less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Qingming's carriage had left Liangzhou and headed quickly towards Qingzhou City.
The mayor of Xuzhou City directly drove a BMW and left the city lightly packed.
Not only these two states, within a few days, news spread wildly in the Jianghu, and the city lords of Mocheng, Ningchuan Prefecture, Jiangzhou, Xiangxi Prefecture and other mainland states left their territories one after another.
For a moment, the people in the world were panicked. City lords from all over the world unexpectedly left their territories at the same time. This naturally heralded that a big storm was about to hit.
At almost the same time, the news that the Human Emperor was robbed in the palace spread like wildfire, but within three days, it had spread throughout the world.
And under the current surging undercurrent, the only thing that seems to be as calm as before is the mysterious Youzhou.
In Youzhou City, twelve tall buildings stand majestically above the earth, like twelve gods standing on earth, overlooking the earth.
Even though it is a hot summer day, there seems to be an endless and depressing coolness in this weird Youzhou City, making people feel inexplicably cold from head to toe.
Inside one of the tall buildings, the floor and stone pillars made of white marble always exude a bone-chilling coolness.
"Da da da!"
Crisp footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and a man in casual clothes slowly walked into the hall.
A young man sat in the center of the hall, looking indifferently at the man who entered in front of him.
The man came closer and bowed his head
"Building owner, the Human Emperor has been robbed."
The building owner frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, slowly opened his mouth, and let out a breath of cold air
"Interesting, this turn of events is quite unexpected."
he asked again
"Chang An has already obtained the entire Penglai map?"
The man nodded
"The spies from the north came to report that the orphan of the Gu family had handed over the remaining half of the Penglai picture to Chang An, but the owner Zhang..."
In the desolate hall, the owner of the building exhaled heavily.
"Two years of planning in the Northern Territory created a great master. I thought that in today's martial arts world where the three major sects are weak, he would be able to achieve great things. Unexpectedly, he also broke the situation with his own hands. The situation in the Northern Territory was destroyed in one day. Chang An really second to none."
"Continue to act as planned. Although the situation in the north has been solved by Chang An, it is only a small detail and does not affect the overall situation."
The man bowed and said
"yes!"
June 9th, Taiyang City, Royal Palace
Inside the Emperor's Hall
The prime minister and Chang Sheng were on both sides, and the emperor and empress in plain clothes sat in the center with a cold face.
Although he is over forty years old, even though he is dressed in plain clothes, his graceful and noble aura is still awe-inspiring.
This is probably the temperament of a person who has been in a high position for a long time and cannot hide it, Chang Sheng thought as he looked at the emperor and empress.
"I have no choice but to invite you two into the palace in a hurry."
To Chang Sheng's expectation, the empress's voice was completely inconsistent with her temperament and appearance. It was a bit rough and sounded a lot like the quacking of ducks by Changming Lake in the early morning.
If you don't look at the appearance of the emperor and the empress, it is easy to mistakenly think that the village woman in the countryside is talking.
Chang Sheng secretly glanced at the Prime Minister opposite and found that the Prime Minister's face was calm. Perhaps he was already used to the unique voice of the Empress.
The Empress of the Xiang Dynasty bowed slightly and said
"Empress, I have heard about the matter, and now there is news about the saint."
The emperor shook his head slightly and said
"No, Pang Chong led the imperial army to search in the palace all night, and the Taiyang Mansion people searched in the city all night. So far, there is no news at all."
She glanced at Chang Sheng's prime minister and continued:
"I still haven't figured out why Wang Huan did that."
Chang Sheng said doubtfully
"Before the incident, did Mr. Wang do anything unusual?"
The emperor's eyes turned to Chang Sheng
"No, as usual."
King Xiang said
"The key is what is their purpose of kidnapping the saint."
The way of emperors and empresses
"What kind of advice does King Xiang have?"
The Prime Minister continued
"They only rob but don't kill. Naturally, they have an agenda. There may be many kinds. But if that group of thieves really has an agenda, they will always contact us."
The emperor frowned and said
"Then you can't just sit here and wait, right?"
She looked at Chang Sheng
"What do you think, Lord Honghua City?"
Chang Sheng thought for a while and said
"It would be a fantasy to let so many robbers into this heavily guarded palace, even if Wang Huan is familiar with the palace. So how did he quietly introduce these people into the palace."
The way of emperors and empresses
"Some eunuchs in the palace disappeared with Wang Huan."
Chang Shengdao
"It's still not enough. From the palace gate to the saint's study, there is at least dozens of miles in between. There are several layers of checkpoints in between, and there are heavy fortifications by the imperial army. Unless you are a master-level expert, how can you remain calm just by relying on eunuchs to lead the way? Then he invaded the sage’s study.”
The Prime Minister said hesitantly
"Then it was probably a master-level expert who took action?"
Chang Sheng shook his head
"Impossible, if a master-level master takes action, why would Wang Huan's help be needed? After Commander Qu's death, the palace will be like a treasure hunt for a master-level master. What's more, there are only a few masters in the world today. Who can have the same skills? Are you so leisurely that you come to the capital to kidnap the saint?"
