Tonight, strong winds burned the city, and the sound of cracking and explosive sounds resounded.
The bright firelight reflected the tall and erect figure of the man under the dark cloak. The heat wave lifted the hem of his clothes, making a hunting sound in the wind.
Under the mask, his eyes were burning with fire. He turned back and asked, "Someone saw it with their own eyes. She inserted a dagger into her heart, turned around and jumped into the lake."
"Yes, that's what the person who was burned to a disgrace said when he came out. Moreover, the body of Princess Jinfu has been recovered, and she is dressed the same as tonight. Master, do you want to take a look at the body?"
Huo Shenzhi stared at the soaring flames not far away, his eyes were deep and dark, and his voice was light and vague: "Just a scapegoat."
This fire is just like five years ago.
Soon, he withdrew his gaze and commanded in a deep voice: "Go, secretly inform the officials below to confirm Princess Jinfu's suicide."
The secret guard was stunned.
In this case, the battle between Dazhou and Xizhou is bound to happen.
Under the bright red night, Huo Shen got on his horse.
His indifferent eyes passed over the boundless sea of fire, and there was a bit of coldness in his words: "The guests from Xizhou have come to Dazhou, but they have not shown up yet. Dazhou must fulfill the friendship of the landlord. To dispatch the news about Duan, these days, the guests It’s time to find out where he’s staying.”
"yes!"
Just as the secret guard was about to turn around, he heard the man on the horse speak calmly: "Let me also inform the officials below that the loss caused by the fire will be compensated by the betrothal gift given to Princess Jinfu by the prince and the palace. This king Do not disclose life or death."
No matter whether the regent is alive or dead, as long as their people come forward, no matter whether they are alive or dead, if the order is given, they will obey it.
But at the moment when the news of his death was announced, the important officials below and the most important counselors of the Duan Family Villa were thrown out.
What you see is no longer the face of his regent, but Huo Yingdi behind him.
While Ying Di is still here, those people have hope and a master who can help them. They will not disobey or dare not disobey orders.
This move can also be seen in the ministers and counselors he has personally helped to achieve success in the past five years.
Is it loyalty or traitor?
The fire did not slow down even a little bit, engulfing houses one after another.
In the end, the people no longer fought. They only thought that it was enough for them to survive and that their families could survive.
One by one, they can only watch from a distance, quietly watching their family property disappear into ashes.
The disasters caused by water, fire and natural disasters cannot be rectified by manpower.
The roaring fire, accompanied by the cries of the people, resounded throughout the capital.
At that time, the secret guards came and went very quickly.
In three months from the discovery of the clues to now, Duan's Villa, under the previous instructions and clues given by Master Jiu, has traced the beginning and end of the foreigners.
Now, compared to the dead Huo Shenzhi.
He is a distinguished guest from Xizhou in the dark, but he has become a man in the light.
Who can hide it more deeply than whom?
only--
"Master, there are too many hiding places behind the Xizhou people. Even searching for the real destination in so many places will take time. We can't even finish the search at dawn."
Huo Shenzhi continued to look at it, threw the map to the secret guard, and looked up at the sky.
It's the second watch of the day, and it's been less than an hour since the incident happened.
Time is short and we cannot go far.
There was a vague coldness in the man's eyes, and the cold blood light gradually condensed: "In this way, those distinguished guests can voluntarily enter the capital."
Many people will take a chance and think that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Everyone thought that Master Jiu was dead and the prince was missing. With such a "big victory", they would relax their vigilance even more.
But someone who can patiently plan for five years is not a person who takes chances.
This is true for both the noble man and the counselors behind him.
But there is no way to go, so we can only take risks.
Huo Shenzhi's expression darkened in the gloom: "Send someone to remind the young minister and ask him to go to the palace immediately to ask for orders. He will dispatch the soldiers in my hands in the imperial city and the outskirts of Beijing. From the picture in your hand, Starting from the farthest place and ending in the capital, we will search for the prince's whereabouts. If he finds it, he will not know anything about it. If there is any difference, ask Duan's people to keep an eye on it. Hold the distinguished guests in Xizhou where they are, Rush to the city."
The secret guard's eyes lit up: "The soldiers under the master are the most reliable, and we are not afraid that they will be negligent. This matter should be treated as if it were not done to alert the enemy!"
Not to mention the person who was hiding, it just happened.
Not to mention that all the people at the top level were required to search for Huo Linye's whereabouts. In order not to be caught, those in Xizhou had no choice but to stay put.
But they have "Princess Jinfu" in their hands. The capital has already searched her once and will not search her again. They can only come to the capital.
Huo Shenzhi's eyes were as deep as ink, and he almost followed Tianshu's last words and said: "Instruct Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, according to the marks on the map, from the capital to Start looking for me. As for you, follow me."
"Tianshu got the order!"
-
The flames set off a heat wave. When Emperor Wu Zong was in the palace, he heard the news that "Princess Jinfu committed suicide by self-immolation", and his heart completely went cold.
There is no chance, there is no room for redemption.
Ordinary women who are abandoned by their husband's family on their wedding day cannot bear such an insult.
Not to mention, she is a princess of a country.
He was lying on the dragon bed, and no matter how many doctors called him, he didn't respond.
After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Wu Zong closed his eyes and almost fainted again.
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible." Chen Qi hurriedly supported Emperor Wu Zong and said, "Master Jiang is already waiting outside. As long as Your Majesty orders it, he will lead the soldiers out to search for him immediately."
"Send out the imperial guards and all the soldiers in the palace. If you catch the traitor, bring him back. If he is alive, take the people with you. If he is dead, take the body. I...will destroy him...destroy him. he!"
Emperor Wu Zong's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "I wasted my wise life and spared him thousands of times, but he actually broke my heart at this time. He is unfilial as a son, unkind for democracy, and unjust as a husband. He is indecisive, Love comes first. As a prince, he does as he pleases and abandons his family and country. He cannot understand the importance of it. He is not worthy of being a prince!"
No matter how capable he is, this kind of temper is enough to ruin the great Zhou Dynasty!
"Prince running away from marriage" would be a catastrophic disaster in any country, and would be stabbed in the spine by future generations.
At this time, someone announced outside.
After Chen Qi heard about it, he hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the guard said that it was Xiao Ziyi, the envoy from Xizhou, who wanted to see him. But then he went to look for him, but he was nowhere to be found."
Emperor Wu Zong's eyes froze for a moment, and he took a deep breath: "Get out."
At this moment, Huo Linye, who was about to return home from abroad, also received the news that "Jin Fu" could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide.
He was shocked for a moment and was speechless for a long time before he spoke: "How could she commit suicide? She didn't want her child? I didn't see her body and didn't confirm that it was her, so it's impossible to believe it. Go and find out. Then tell her that if you want a child, come and see the orphan!"
He could only believe that this was Jin Fu's plan to escape from his shell!
