King's Landing [Rebirth]

There are indeed many guards guarding the most secret place of the shogunate, but the number is not too many. No one dares to trespass on weekdays. This place is naturally safe, but the situation is urgent now. If the emperor wants to send more troops to search, no one will stop it. Can't help it, even if the prime minister is powerful, it is impossible to fight against the emperor openly, unless he really wants to rebel.

Sima Rong followed Zhao Changshi in and asked him to light a lamp to pick from the shelves, while he quickly looked through the documents he took out. Some were thrown into the brazier and burned, while others were wrapped in kraft paper and kicked in front of his chest.

The so-called confidential elements are not necessarily related to treason, what's more, he also knows that Wang Shuzhi has no such intentions, at least not before tonight, but if these elements fall into the hands of others, they can be used to make a big fuss, especially There are still many rosters, which are very involved. Even if the turmoil can be calmed down this time, the Wang family will not be settled well.

There was a bang in the brazier, and a heat wave rose up, and the flickering flames reflected in Sima Rong's quiet eyes, which also scorched the tip of his heart.

He was clearly just worried that Wang's accident would make it easier for the prince, and even now he is still trying to convince himself that this is just taking advantage of the fire, but when he thinks that Wang Shuzhi may have an accident, the Zhilan Yushu turns into dead wood and weeds in an instant. His fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Zhao Changshi turned around and glanced at his flickering side face, inexplicably feeling that there was an aura deliberately concealed on his body, and the word "male favorite" seemed extremely inappropriate on him, like a sudden blow on a tall pine tree. A delicate flower bloomed, abrupt and incomprehensible.

"Is there anything else?" Sima Rong raised his eyes to look at him, and returned to his usual cold appearance.

Zhao Changshi was stunned for a moment: "No more."

Sima Rong nodded: "Burn everything that can be burned. I can't really burn it. I'll take it out and hide it."

Having reached this point, Zhao Changshi had to believe him if he didn't believe it, so he naturally had no objection, and was about to give some more instructions when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

"Surround them all, go in and search! No one is allowed to leave!" The slightly rough voice was extremely piercing in the dark night.

Sima Rong's eyes sank, and he walked quickly to the door. Taking advantage of the slightly higher ground, he looked towards the front yard, and saw a large number of people rushing in, and the guards of the shogunate also rushed out from all corners to confront them. Unexpectedly, the shogunate has hidden a lot of troops secretly.

"This is the emperor's order! Are you going to resist the order?" The immediate commander held a white tiger banner in his hand, and his face showed a bit of arrogance under the light of the torch.

The guards of the shogunate looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to step forward to stop people at will.

The person holding the white tiger banner is like the emperor coming in person, and can command the armies. Now it is only used to suppress the guards of the shogunate, and even the white tiger banner that commands thousands of troops has been invited out. The emperor is probably determined to take the opportunity this time. Wang completely suppressed it.

It's just that once the Wang family fell, the check and balance of the imperial court also tilted. All kinds of ghosts and snake gods lost their suppression, and it may be chaotic. Overthrow, I don't know how well the court will end up in the end.

Sima Rong thought of the father in the palace who was manipulated by a woman, hated and was angry, finally sighed softly, turned around and left quickly under the cover of Pei Liang, the shogunate was built on the mountain, there must be a retreat if you go up.

The people rushing in had already started to encircle in all directions, and they were about to rush to the back soon. They made a lot of noise and made people panic. Zhao Changshi felt fearful, and turned around to follow the pace of his boss, Sima Rong.

Sima Rong only glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

The leader turned his gaze and saw Ding Wenshi, who was bound in a big way, stepped forward and took out the cloth from his mouth, and looked at him: "Who are you? Why are you tied up?"

Those who were in the shogunate in the middle of the night were either their own people or thieves. Ding Wenshi was dressed decently, so naturally he couldn't be a thief. The man laughed before he could answer: "The prime minister's aide?"

Ding Wenshi snorted coldly.

The man looked around, but he was very clever, guessed the current situation, and said with a smile: "Have you been oppressed? Well, tell me, where are the secrets of the shogunate? I will release them immediately." you go."

Ding Wenshi snorted coldly again, obviously not going to pay attention to it.

The man rolled his eyes: "Who tied you up?"

Ding Wenshi's complexion changed, and the resentment could not be concealed in his eyes.

The people next to him were secretly startled, but they didn't dare to show any emotion. An aide standing behind him secretly tugged at his sleeve, coughed, and signaled him to be cautious in his words and actions.

Ding Wenshi didn't realize it, and said coldly: "Not long after I came down to the shogunate, I don't know where there are secrets. I only know that there is a young man who is not weak enough. He is very important to the prime minister, and he should hide it in the backyard at this time."

The man's eyes lit up when he heard it, and from the corner of the eye he saw the expressions of the people around him change, and he immediately became happy: "It must be the guest who was born as a servant next to the Prime Minister? I have heard about it all the time, but I have never had the chance to see it. "Said with a sneer, waved to the people beside him, "Go to the back and search!"

The shogunate was already in chaos. Some people rushed to the back and finally found the secret road leading to the top of the mountain. They hurriedly chased it out. It didn't take long to find the footprints of someone who had just walked on the narrow path, and they were excited: "It's right in front! go up!"

Zhao Changshi's foot strength was weak, and gradually he couldn't catch up with Pei Liang and Sima Rong. He soon fell behind, looked up, and didn't know what they were doing going straight to the top of the mountain. Go into the nearby woods, branch off and go a little farther, hiding in the dark until the group of people leave.

When Sima Rong reached the top of the mountain, he was so tired that he couldn't breathe, but he didn't care to rest. He hurriedly found the small pavilion that Wang Shuzhi had taken him to, and pointed to a corner at the bottom: "Quickly dig this place!"

Pei Liang drew out his knife and acted according to his words, wondering: "I'm afraid the gazebo is too conspicuous, why don't you hide in the nearby woods?"

"The terrain here is high and sheltered." Sima Rong looked down the mountain, "The weather is not right, I'm afraid it will rain tomorrow."

Suddenly, Pei Liang nodded and quickly dug a hole. Seeing that Sima Rong took out the things in his arms and put them in, he quickly filled the hole and moved two stones on it.

The two left the gazebo and fled to the other side of the mountain, and were quickly chased by people halfway up the mountain.

"Ahead! Catch 'em!"

The fire was so close at hand, Pei Liang looked back, his complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly dragged Sima Rong into the depths of the dense forest, but in this way, he couldn't see the path under his feet clearly in the dark, stumbling, and there was a lot of movement.

"You go down the mountain from here, and I'll cover it!" Pei Liang pushed him forward.

Sima Rong paused, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, if you are no match, it's fine to just capture them. Right now they don't have evidence, so they dare not make things difficult for the Prime Minister's people."

Pei Liangliang nodded: "Yes."

Sima Rong turned around, brushed aside the branches and leaves, and groped towards the downhill. He broke a branch and beat it left and right in front of him. Fortunately, he was wearing boots, so he was not afraid of insects, ants, snakes and mice. The voice added a bit of respect to Pei Liang, who was loyal to his master.

This side of the mountain faces the river, and the further you go down, the harder it is to walk. Although Sima Rong stumbles and stumbles, he is not in any danger. pale.

It was not easy to get out of the city, and it was not easy to enter the city. At this time, it was still dark, and a group of people who went to the market had gathered at the foot of the city wall.

Sima Rong stared at the dark place for a while, took off his long gown and threw it in the grass, wiped some mud on his face, wrapped the token with leaves and stuffed it around his waist, when he heard the sound of the city gate opening, he hurried up Walking into the crowd, he turned his head and smiled at the old man beside him: "Old man, I will push the scooter for you."

Seeing his kind face, the old man thanked him repeatedly.

Sima Rong said: "I came to seek refuge with my relatives, but I was caught by a thief on the way, and all the paperwork issued by the government was lost. Can the old man help me and say that I am your family? Otherwise, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will arrest me as a refugee. "

The old man is simple and honest, and seeing his haggard look, he didn't doubt him, so he agreed.

The two chatted, and soon walked to the side of the guard. Sima Rong lowered his head slightly. Although he was wearing a middle coat, but the sky was dark at this time, he looked about the same as the short brown, so it was easy to pass. After passing through the gate, just a few steps away, I suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Wait! The person pushing the scooter in front, stop!"

Sima Rong's shoulders sank, and being held down, he had no choice but to turn around and respectfully said, "I don't know what orders the officer has?"

The guard sneered, and patted his leg with a knife: "Can a farmer wear such good boots?" He said and wanted to search him.

Sima Rong quickly glanced around, and was about to run away when he heard a familiar voice from the side: "Slow down!"

A middle-aged general came over, took a deep look at Sima Rong, and patted the guard on the shoulder: "Old man Zhang goes to the city every day, I recognize him, let him go."

"This..." The guard pointed to the silver boots on Sima Rong's feet, "This man doesn't look like..."

"You don't trust me?" The general glared at him and waved his hand.

The guard looked at Sima Rong again, saw that he was very depressed, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave, muttering: "Could it be that he was picked?"

Sima Rong looked at the general, folded his hands and smiled, "Thank you, my lord, for making the rescue."

The general nodded, and said in a low voice: "The prime minister's mansion has been surrounded, Mr. Yan Qing, please be careful." He waved at him impatiently, and said loudly, "What are you delaying? Let's go!"

Sima Rong nodded, left quickly, thanked the old man, staggered through the crowd and walked south, and finally stopped at the gate of Lu Zixiu's mansion.

Now that all the forces of the prime minister's mansion and the shogunate have been controlled, if they act rashly, they will definitely be charged with treason, and the Xie family has no close friendship with the Wang family, so he probably doesn't want to get involved in trouble. The only thing he can find is Lu Zixiu.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, Sima Rong went up the steps and knocked on the door, and cupped his hands to the person who answered, "Yuan Sheng has something important to discuss with Mr. Lu, please pass it on for me."

The man was yawning, he was a little impatient at first, but when he looked up and saw that he was actually the one who was tied up here, he woke up in a jerk, said "wait a minute" and hurried in, and came back soon , raised his hand and said: "My lord, please come in with me."
