The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 685
(Everyone, Happy New Year's Day! This is a normal chapter, you can subscribe!)
Twenty minutes after Concubine Duan and her party left, the Baihu Office in charge of guarding Wudingfang discovered an abnormality.

Three of the patrol teams that had come back hadn't come back yet, and the hundred households on duty immediately sent people to look for them.

More than 30 soldiers were lost, which is nearly one-third of the troops, which is a great event for Baihusuo.

But now the night is dark, and the soldiers who were killed have been hidden again. It is not easy to find them.

It took half an hour before someone discovered the bodies of the first batch of soldiers killed under the wall.

There were a total of ten corpses. This was a huge event. The duty officer immediately reported the situation and sent everyone under his command to patrol and search for it.

Soon, the Qianhu Office in charge of this area sent more people into Wuding Fang to help it inspect the murderer.

Of course, as more corpses of soldiers were found, the news quickly spread to Masi, the patrolling soldier.

The patrolling of the streets of the capital is in charge of the city patrolling soldiers and horses, which accommodate ten thousand households, each led by two city patrolling commanders.

The person in charge of the North City is the Commander Li Jinglong.

At midnight, Li Jinglong was sleeping, but was awakened by the housekeeper's knock on the door.

"What are you knocking at night?" Li Jinglong scolded angrily, very angry in his heart.

Beside him was his ninth concubine, who stood up and lit the lamp at this moment.

"My lord, someone from the yamen came to send a message, making you feel like going there... saying that something big happened!"

Hearing this, Li Jinglong couldn't help cursing: "What a big deal!"

Under the service of his concubine, Li Jinglong quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out after a few minutes.

"My lord, it's Wang Qianhu who's here, and I'm waiting in the front hall now!"

Li Jinglong didn't ask any more questions, and walked straight to the front hall.

Arriving at the front yard, before Li Jinglong stepped into the hall, he saw a man approaching under the light.

"My lord... something is wrong!"

"What's the matter?"

"The thieves in Wudingfang committed crimes, and more than 30 soldiers were killed. The subordinates have ordered a strict investigation!"

Li Jinglong, who had just sat down, jumped up from his chair when he heard this, and shouted, "What?"

"Thirty sergeants killed? Are you drunk?"

Seeing that his boss didn't believe him, Wang Qianhu smiled wryly and said, "My lord... How dare you make jokes in such a lowly position!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Bastard bastard, what the hell do you all eat?"

After cursing this, Li Jinglong picked up the cup at the side and threw it at Qianhu Wang.

Seeing the cup flying towards him, Qianhu surnamed Wang didn't dare to dodge at all, and let the teacup hit his head in a daze.

If the boss is not calmed down now, his life will only be more difficult in the future.

"His grandma knows how to gamble and play with women all day long. Is this the soldier you lead? You bastard is a thousand households!"

"Dereliction of duty, my lord, calm down!"

Just as Li Jinglong was about to continue scolding, he saw a maid come outside the hall.

"Second master, what is the master asking?"

"Let the master rest for the matter in the yamen, don't worry about it!"

"Yes!"

After the maid left, Li Jinglong's anger was suppressed a lot.

He only listened to his instructions: "Listen to me, suppress this matter first, don't make a fuss...let me investigate strictly!"

"Yes!"

Wudingfang was close to the imperial city. Thirty soldiers were killed. This incident got out. Wang Qianhu couldn't bear the responsibility, and Li Jinglong had to be dragged into the water.

Therefore, Li Jinglong's first reaction was to suppress this matter.

"Also, order Zhang Qian and Hu Jinbiao to send someone to assist you and find out the murderer for me as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

When Qianhu, surnamed Wang, left, Li Jinglong had no intention of continuing to sleep, but rushed to Wudingfang with a few personal guards.

When a person died, he had to go to the scene to see for himself.

Half an hour later, Li Jinglong came to the Baihusuo in Wudingfang.

"My lord, they were all strangled to death!"

Kneeling down and looking at the corpses on the ground, Li Jinglong thoughtfully said: "The patrols walked together, but one group was strangled to death, which means...they were probably killed together!"

"There are a lot of thieves, at least 40 or [-]!"

In Li Jinglong's view, only three or four times the number of soldiers can have an absolute advantage in force and can kill the soldiers in one go.

"The order goes on, each patrol team has at least 30 people, and the team is led by the general flag!"

"Yes!"

"My lord, do you want to notify Nan Si?"

Facing the question of Wang Qianhu, Li Jinglong only gave him a look, but did not answer his question.

If the news was reported to Nan Si, he would not be able to keep the news that happened on his side, not to mention that if Nan Si had some problems, he could also share Li Jinglong's pressure.

Turning his head, looking at the corpse on the ground, Li Jinglong frowned and muttered: "But...why do these thieves want to kill people?"

"Seeking revenge? Impossible, seeking money? This is even more impossible!"

While Li Jinglong was thinking, Concubine Duan and her party on the other side had returned to Nancheng safely.

After leaving Wudingfang, although there are patrols along the way, it is much easier to avoid the spacious outside.

The most important thing is that there are more routes for them to choose back, and they can choose remote roads in such a college in the capital.

With a "creak", the courtyard door was opened, and Su Chuyun bowed and said, "Your Majesty...please come in!"

In the courtyard, the lights had already been lit at this moment, Concubine Duan glanced ahead, then walked in.

When Concubine Duan entered, the guards all followed her in.

At this moment, a shout came from the room: "Auntie!"

This person was Cao Yunhui, and he walked quickly to Concubine Duan, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in extreme fear.

For this aunt, Cao Yunhui was afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Looking down at her own nephew, Concubine Duan said slowly, "This time...you did a good job!"

This was the first time that he was praised face to face by his own aunt, which made Cao Yunhui overjoyed.

Strange to say, Cao Yunhui has always been resentful towards Concubine Duan's control over the Cao family's affairs, which caused the Cao family to be ransacked.

But now Concubine Duan's light praise made him feel like he was being treated with great courtesy, and the previous resentment was swept away.

At this time, Concubine Duan also turned around and said to the guards under the steps: "Thank you for helping me tonight!"

Concubine Duan is the birth mother of King Yong, and she exists like a holy mother in the eyes of everyone. Hearing her thank you personally at this moment, Su Chuyun and others all knelt down.

"How dare you be thanked by your mother for such a position as a minister!"

Concubine Duan nodded slightly, and then said: "You are all loyal ministers!"

"Auntie, please sit in the room, I will send a message to His Highness immediately!"

"Messaging?"

"That's right, you can communicate with His Highness directly!"

"What nonsense are you kidding?"

After introducing Concubine Duan into the house, Cao Yunhui pointed to the "telephone" and said, "Auntie, it's true, this is it!"

"This thing can send messages across thousands of miles?"

"Exactly!"

After saying that, Cao Yunhui dialed the number directly, and now he has learned to use this thing.

After a few beeps, the phone was connected, but it was not Zhao Yanxun's voice on the other side.

"Who?"

"I'm Cao Yunhui, tell Your Highness quickly, Your Majesty has been rescued, and Your Majesty wants to talk to Your Highness!"

After Cao Yunhui finished speaking, a voice came from the opposite side: "His Royal Highness has gone on inspection, and the humble official will report immediately!"

"can!"

Then the phone was hung up, and the miraculous scene she saw in front of her left Concubine Duan stunned in place. This was a phenomenon she could not understand.

"How did this thing come about? How can there be a sound?"

"Auntie, Your Highness upholds the destiny, this thing is naturally a gift from God!"

Speaking of this, Cao Yunhui couldn't help admiring: "Thousands of miles of sound transmission is just a part of His Highness's magic. He can also ask God to grant weapons, armor and food, and he can also make ordinary people extra powerful..."

Next, Cao Yunhui told Concubine Duan all about what he saw in Longyou.

When he spoke dryly, Concubine Duan also learned seven or eight out of ten things about the situation of Prince Yong's Mansion.

In the end, Concubine Duan said with firm eyes, "My son...be the emperor!"
