King's Landing [Rebirth]

After several consecutive days and nights without closing his eyes, Wang Shuzhi was already exhausted, and when he heard the bad news suddenly, his blood surged up, and he fell asleep all of a sudden.

Pei Liang had been following him for a long time, and this was the first time he saw him go to the end of his strength, he panicked, and hurriedly helped him to the nearest palace, and sent the palace attendant to invite the imperial physician.

King Jing had just seen it from afar, so he got off his horse and hurried over, and at the same time ordered people to look for the emperor.

After waiting for a while, the imperial doctor came in a hurry.

Pei Liang looked at him nervously and asked, "How is the Prime Minister?"

"It's nothing serious." The imperial physician withdrew his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "The prime minister is just overtired and in a hurry, he will wake up on his own after a while, no medicine is needed, and he will be fully recovered after two days of rest."

King Jing also heaved a sigh of relief, looked left and right, and frowned: "Have you found your father yet?"

At this time, the rebels had been besieged by King Jing's men, and those who died and those who surrendered, King Jing's duty was over, so many men and horses could not stay here for long, and they would leave the city and return to the fiefdom as soon as they found the emperor.

King Jing couldn't wait for the emperor's news, and he was anxious, so he had to visit the queen mother first.

The Empress Dowager was obviously also very frightened. Although she heard that the rebellion outside had subsided, she still had lingering fears.

King Jing felt relieved, and hurried out again. Seeing that Wang Shuzhi was already awake, he finally let go of half of his heart, and just a few steps closer, he heard him order in a deep voice: "Search along the way, and don't let go of any clues! "

King Jing looked surprised, wondering if he should ask.

Wang Shuzhi looked up at him, took a few steps closer, and said in a low voice, "The crown prince was assassinated, and his whereabouts are unknown now..."

"What?!" There was a buzzing in King Jing's head, and his face changed drastically, almost jumping up in a hurry.

Regardless of his identity, Wang Shuzhi pressed his shoulder directly, and then finished his sentence: "The lower officials have searched closely, and King Jing will send people to act after he leaves the city. Be careful."

Since he intends to take Sima Rong's life, it is definitely not what the other party wants if his whereabouts are unknown, and there must be a group of people looking for him at this time.

Although King Jing looked carefree, in fact he was thick and thin, and soon understood what Wang Shuzhi meant: he must find the person before the other party.

The palace walls had returned to silence, except for the lingering smell of blood. Wang Shuzhi walked towards the besieged rebels, and there were still many things for him to deal with.

At this time, in an inconspicuous side hall in the palace, the emperor was tremblingly hiding in the dark corner of the corner. He heard that the shouts of killing outside had subsided, but he didn't know whether the rebels were repelled or the rebels succeeded. The breath is exhausted, and I dare not go out for a long time.

"The traitor has been executed, the emperor must be found!" A familiar voice came from the entrance of the hall.

The emperor lifted his spirits, and walked out cautiously. Seeing a figure approaching from the gate of the hall, he straightened his waist, straightened his face, and instantly returned to his usual demeanor.

"Your Majesty!" When the visitor saw him walking out of the shadows, he couldn't help but recognize him carefully. Just looking at the luxurious imperial clothes, he immediately recognized him. He hurriedly stepped forward two steps in surprise, knelt down and clasped his fists in salute.

The emperor suddenly felt more at ease, and laughed: "Commander Zhou is exempt, what's going on outside?"

"Back to the emperor, the rebel army has surrendered, and the rebel committed suicide in fear of crime. I will escort the emperor back!"

"En." The emperor nodded, finally heaving a sigh of relief.

Commander Zhou followed him and walked out, winking to the side, and the scattered Imperial Army immediately saluted silently, and then guarded the emperor indistinctly.

Just as the emperor was about to turn left, he saw several imperial guards blocking his way, and his expression sank.

"Your Majesty, please go from here." Commander Zhou gestured to the right with a respectful expression.

The emperor suddenly sensed something was wrong, and stared at him calmly: "What does Commander Zhou mean?"

Commander Zhou looked calm: "That road is not safe, the emperor should go another road."

"Presumptuous!" The emperor thumped in his heart, and then he was furious, "Who borrowed your courage?!"

Commander Zhou didn't move like a mountain, and the surrounding imperial army seemed to have blocked the way out, leaving only the road on the right.

The emperor looked around and saw that they looked like they might be ordered to set him up at any time, trembling with anger, turning around like trapped animals for a few times, finally shaking his sleeves fiercely, and striding away towards the only road. go.

But at this time, King Jing and Wang Shuzhi could not wait for the whereabouts of the emperor, and their hearts became more and more anxious. They were not only worried about the safety of the emperor, but also worried about Sima Rong who did not know where he was.

It is not easy for King Jing's men to search the palace wantonly, so they can only pin their hopes on the imperial guards. When they were uneasy, when they looked up, they saw Commander Fang frowning and striding forward.

"Prime Minister, the situation is not good." Commander Fang looked stern, "The people of Commander Zhou seem to be deliberately obstructing the subordinates, and the subordinates suspect... what happened to this."

Wang Shuzhi listened to his detailed report on the situation that he was blocked by the people led by Zhou just now intentionally or unintentionally, his expression became more and more dignified, he pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Go find the truth yourself!"

"The emperor has a decree!" Just as he was about to lift his foot, the voice of the palace attendant came from afar.

Wang Shuzhi narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that the palace attendant looked unfamiliar.

The palace attendant hurried up to him, holding the imperial decree in his hand, and didn't unfold it, he just raised his voice and said: "The emperor has a decree, ordering King Jing to bring the army back to the fief immediately."

Wang Shuzhi's brows twitched: King Jing had meritorious service in rescuing him, not to mention rewards for meritorious deeds, there is no reason why he should be driven back in such a hurry.

The palace attendant said again: "The prime minister and King Jing have made great achievements, and there will be rewards in the future. The emperor ordered the prime minister to return to the mansion first to rest, and the remnants of the rebel army will be dealt with by Commander Zhou."

Wang Shuzhi and King Jing had been suspicious for a long time. After receiving the imperial decree, they immediately opened it and looked at it. Seeing that it was clearly stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven, they had no choice but to suppress their doubts.

"Your Majesty, please see the Emperor." Wang Shuzhi looked indifferent, as if he didn't see anything wrong.

"The emperor has been frightened and needs rest." The palace attendant smiled flatteringly.

Wang Shuzhi and King Jing looked at each other, knowing that this was not the time to force their way in, so they had to leave with the imperial decree.

Not long after they walked out of the palace gate, a figure turned from the shadows, looking at the direction they were leaving, with a vague smile on his lips.

This person is the King Yi who sneaked into the palace, Sima Kuo.

The capital was suddenly under siege, Xie Zhuo was extremely anxious when he received the urgent report, and left a group of people to continue searching for Sima Rong's whereabouts, while he hurried back with the army, but fortunately he heard the news that the rebels had fallen. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but what he didn't expect was that there was already a turmoil in Beijing.

In a forest somewhere in Wu County, an ox cart drove slowly and stopped at the gate of a dilapidated courtyard.

A plainly dressed middle-aged scribe got off the cart, brushed off his wide sleeves, turned his head to look at the ox cart, and said one after another: "Pick up people, be careful."
