I just like the Prime Minister

As soon as the two sides met each other, His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed, and all the worries were handed over to the prime minister.

Jiang Xizhu didn't answer Li Chengzuo's words of ridiculing Daoist Zixu, and turned to ask the shadow guard beside him: "Has the letter from Beijing returned? How long will General Pei arrive in Yecheng?"

The shadow guard clasped his hands and replied: "My lord, my subordinates have received a letter from Master Song, saying that General Pei is ready to leave from Jizhou, and if there are no accidents, he will arrive in seven to ten days."

Jiang Xizhu silently counted the time in his heart, and he still remembered the time of the summer solstice.

Those officials are obviously not the confidantes of King Qi. It is one thing to turn a blind eye to what King Qi has done, but another thing to have a half-knowledge. In other words, King Qi will never reveal the details of these things Give this group of trash who take money and do nothing serious, just gag their mouths and make the world peaceful.

However, this city of Ye is not peaceful in the first place, and it is useless to whitewash it.

Just as Jiang Xizhu was thinking, a shadow guard rushed in behind him.

"Master, my lord." The shadow guard said, "The troops from outside the city are approaching. In half an hour, we will enter the city. Our people have already controlled the defense of the city gate. Do you want to close the city gate?"

Jiang Xizhu stood in place for a moment without saying a word, glanced at the entrance of the secret passage unintentionally, then looked back at His Majesty the emperor who was still calm and calm, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't close it, let them come back!"

The shadow guard was stunned for a moment, not daring to speak.

Taoist Master Zixu, who had been panting on the ground for a long time, heard this, dragged his old arms and legs and jumped up, as if he could run another three hundred miles with his body, but the fact that he was strong on the outside but on the inside was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What?!" Daoist Zixu panted heavily, "We finally got rid of them, and now that we let them back, isn't this just showing up?"

Only then was busy laughing at Master's traitor—His Majesty the Emperor, showing a smile of "heroes see the same thing".

"Tsk, what did Master say? It's too ugly. Are you a thousand-year-old turtle who has become a spirit or something? What is appearance?" Li Chengzuo laughed, "If we don't let them in, how can we say 'strike first to be strong? 'Woolen cloth?"

It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor, the real dragon emperor, even has a different understanding of language than ordinary people.

Daoist Zixu never expected that what His Majesty said to be the first to act first, turned out to be like this——

Standing under the bright sun of Ye City, Taoist Master Zixu re-interpreted His Majesty's "strike first is the best", and felt that this word should be replaced with "the villain sues first".

Let's say that Chen Cheng, Liu Zhi, He Jingzhi and others lost their lord, and the people they sent to track them went to one place, but there was no trace.

Compared with the inside of the city, the outside of Yecheng can be called a desolate area. The village with an acre of land was turned upside down by the "Eight King Kong" with their vicious guards, and even the mud pool in the village was not left behind. , And these few big living people really disappeared without a trace.

In desperation, Liu Zhi wanted to expand his search of the outer city, but was stopped by He Jingzhi with a gloomy face.

Apart from the city of Ye, there is no place to hide except in the villages. Even a hole in a tree nearby where people can hide has been searched, and the clothes of those people are very eye-catching. Now it seems that not only are there no clues, but also There was no sign of them changing their appearance and fleeing.

They can't escape this far.

That being the case, is it possible that they felt that "the most dangerous place is the safest place" and instead took the risk and fled into the inner city?

At this point, He Jingzhi suddenly calmed down. The timing of the kidnappers' arrival was too coincidental. He Jingzhi didn't think much about it when he first encountered him. He didn't think much about it until he went through the search and explained the situation in the inner city with Chen Cheng. His vigilance suddenly rose-could this be a conspiracy that came out of the inside and outside?

Thinking of this, He Jingzhi immediately gave up scrambling around like headless flies, and led people back to the city aggressively, preparing for a while for this "imperial envoy" who appeared out of nowhere. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city gate, he saw him The "imperial envoy" blocking the gate of the city.

The "imperial envoy" is gentle and unsmiling, and can be seen as upright, but after all, he is a little young, and at first glance he looks like a sour scholar who can be easily dismissed-to put it nicely, it is called honesty, but to put it badly, it has to be It is called "Lengtouqing".

Especially the personal guard brought by the imperial envoy, he opened his mouth to speak, and the "Eight King Kongs" felt that they had found the feeling they had when they were young on the eve of "fighting for righteousness" in the arena-don't give him a hard time.

However, what the personal guard said made them tense up in unison.

"I heard that the prince is returning to the city today, and Lord Jiang is here to greet you." Li Chengzuo's personal guards dragged two to five to eighty thousand people, clearly not paying attention to "the prince", "My lord was ordered by the emperor to inspect government affairs. On the way, I met the second prince of Khitan, and he disappeared all the way to Yecheng, my lord wants to ask the prince face to face, what is going on?"

Li Chengzuo's words are too straightforward. If the big hat of "collaborating with the enemy" is off, King Qi will not be able to wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River. People, I'm afraid it really is the second Khitan prince that this population said.

The relationship between the King of Qi and Khitan is subtle, and although the "choir" with close contacts has always claimed to be a Jianghu organization, there is no doubt that the leader Yin Jian is a Khitan.What are the twists and turns in the process, why do you want to cooperate with them, and who is the one who is helping the King of Qi. Among them, only the King of Qi can figure out the account.

He Jingzhi was thinking about how powerful it was, but someone behind him couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Liu Zhi yelled angrily on the spot.

"Bloody mouth." Liu Zhi said angrily, "What evidence do you have that the prince is related to the Khitan people?! You..."

Liu Zhi roared angrily and stood up, looked at Li Chengfu and the others, and swallowed all the words he hadn't finished speaking.

"It's you?!" Liu Zhi said in shock, "You...you lied about joining the prince and took the opportunity to sneak into Yecheng. What is your intention?"

The frivolous and mocking smile on Li Chengzuo's face narrowed, and he walked down from Jiang Xizhu's side very calmly, stood beside Liu Zhi, and reached out his hand to press Liu Zhi's shoulder as if casually.

Li Chengzuo looks like a suave young man, no one would take his simple press seriously, but Liu Zhi felt that he was breaking out in cold sweat under this press, and after holding on for a while, he felt His shoulders were about to be shattered, so he gritted his teeth and fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop".

"Wouldn't it be better if you talked about the rules earlier?" Li Chengzuo leaned into his ear and smiled with a very chill, his voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough for these people to hear clearly, "What your prince wants This thing... yes, it is the seal you were thinking of, and the current owner is Yeluzhen, the second prince of Khitan... Don't pretend to be ignorant, if it wasn't so, why would your lords hear about the person related to this seal? How about such a courtesy?"

His majesty's miraculous skill of running around with his mouth and tongue was finally used in a serious place.

Hearing this, Liu Zhiwen was stunned on the spot. All kinds of orders from the King of Qi came up before him, and the connection between far and near Khitan was so silently intertwined by him.

Not only Liu Zhi, but also Chen Cheng and He Jingzhi were completely surprised by what he said.

It was He Jingzhi who endured his own speculations, squeezed out some rationality from his mind, and said coldly: "The imperial envoy handles the case, and we naturally dare not stop him, but the prince was in danger outside Ye City just now, and his whereabouts are unknown now."

Of course, He Jingzhi did not dare to say that Yeluzhen was the one who kidnapped King Qi at this juncture, he could only vaguely explain the result, and only wanted to divert their attention to the whereabouts of King Qi.

Li Chengzuo's surprised expression was not fake at all, his eyebrows were wrinkled and his eyes were erect.

"What?! The prince was taken away? When? Where was he taken away? Why didn't you go back to the city to report such a big thing? What are you doing here? Why don't you look for it?" Li Chengzuo looked around with different expressions. The people in the group found that their faces were so ugly that it was hard to describe, and they immediately showed a suspicious look, "The prince was really taken away? Was it really not a bitter trick you did together? If it is true, look at the prince. For the sake of being brothers and sisters with the emperor, the imperial envoy let the past go, and the prince reined in the precipice, there is still time."

He Jingzhi: "..."

The Eight Diamond Hearts said that this is really an imperial envoy with rich imagination. If King Qi returns to the city safely, the first thing he will do is to smash your imaginative brain. On your unrestricted mouth.

But now they don't have King Qi to rely on, they are just a few people who can't compete with officials, so they can only temporarily suppress their impulses-if they rebel outrageously at this time, they are simply helping King Qi. The charge of guessing has been confirmed, no matter how stupid he is, he dare not act rashly at this time.

This silent obedience sealed their fate that they could no longer resist.

Li Chengzuo had calculated these people's thoughts long ago, put on his big hat, played a full role, and arranged "search" for King Qi's whereabouts without hesitation, while vigorously controlling King Qi's cronies. The "imperial envoys" did not do their jobs well, and the "Eight King Kongs" were not all taken down, and one person was actually missed.

King Qi was still in a coma, and the situation in Ye City had quietly changed.

Since this day, the imperial envoys who have been making noise all over the city seem to have been silent. Apart from the usual arrangement of searching for King Qi and tracking down King Qi's cronies, there seems to be no surprising actions.

Three days later at night, before Li Chengzuo and Jiang Xizhu rested, the shadow guard outside the door came to report and found the whereabouts of one of the eight King Kongs under King Qi, "Poison Langzhong".

The author has something to say: there is probably one more chapter tonight, so go out for dinner first.
