Must be mistaken!

In fact, Dongjun hasn't arrived yet, right?

I heard from the group of bastards in the Hall of Martial Heroes that the little boy seems to have gone on a business trip during this period of time, and he must have just returned...

The imperial guards of Suzhangmen put their stared eyeballs back into their sockets with difficulty. You look at me and I look at you, seeking confirmation from each other. We made a mistake just now, right?

A group of people were so shocked that they lost their ability to think, completely forgetting that they were at the Suzhang Gate—if Chu Heng was only able to ride a horse here, he would not be qualified enough to serve as imperial servant.The emperor's shadow guards are the emperor's swordsmen, and they go in and out to follow the holy will, which is inherently honorable.The rest of the people who can have such privileges without a decree are all the Masters of the Big Dipper, which can be called rare.Normally, the guards of the Hall of Martial Arts should have rolled their saddles and stationed sedan chairs at the Xing'an Gate on the outskirts of the palace, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

The Suzhang Gate is close to the Emperor Garden, and unless there is a special order from His Majesty, everyone must dismount and walk.The last time Dongjun came to the palace, the shadow guard was ordered to make a special trip to invite him, and the car drove directly to Jingzhang Palace and arrived in front of the Jingcheng Hall.

This time he said to "pay the decree", as soon as he entered the palace, Jingzhang Palace got the news, and quickly sent someone to Suzhangmen to welcome him.

As a result, a group of imperial guards had just confirmed the "mistake" with each other, and before they had time to pick up their chin that fell on the ground and put it back in place, they saw two shadow guards on duty walking towards the end of the palace road, and came to Chu Heng. He stopped in front of him, bowed slightly, and said with a slight smile: "You have worked hard on the road to Dongjun, and His Majesty is waiting for you in the Hall of Jingcheng."

The clear voice of the shadow guard spread through the Suzhang gate along the night wind.

"...!!!"

The guards of the imperial city around them dropped their jaws when they had just recovered, and they were stunned. They couldn't pick it up this time.

It was them who were wrong, it was always them...

Little boy... Dong Jun...

Dongjun's mood at the moment is also very complicated.

The two imperial shadow guards were clearly sent by Ling Ye to arrest him.

The fact that Fang Hongzhen was forced to kill Fang Hongzhen for refusing to listen to his instructions is obviously not revealed yet... Didn’t you already ask for safety in advance? I feel like things are not going well...

Chu Heng couldn't help but feel a little guilty. While walking towards the Hall of Jingcheng, he tentatively asked the shadow guard who had sent the message: "What is Your Majesty doing? Is he angry today?"

The shadow guard slightly bent his lips when he heard the words: "Dong Jun was joking, how could His Majesty be angry with you, and now he is waiting for your order to be delivered in the Hall of Respect and Sincerity."

No wonder!

Chu Heng's heart trembled, he was asking him to wash his neck and send him to "death".

Listen to him handing in the decree. He cut it first and then played it. Where did the decree come from?It's almost the same if you don't listen to the order and resist the order!It's just written in the memorial, so as to frighten those aristocratic families with impure minds and make them tighten their skins.

But right now, this has become a hole he dug for himself.

Chu Heng couldn't think of a way to delay the "death" for a while, Dong Jun couldn't just turn his head and run away halfway, there were so many people watching along the road, it was inevitable that some restless aristocratic families were quietly inquiring.They didn't travel in secret, they went straight to the palace after entering the gate of the imperial capital, and they didn't avoid it all the way, letting those people with different thoughts see them.If he ran out of the palace before the battle, wouldn't it be a waste of all his previous efforts.

Chu Heng had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Jingcheng Hall.

After Suzhang Gate, there is Guangshun Gate, and then there is Chongji Gate, which is going to Jingzhang Palace.Chu Heng was always worrying about how to explain to Ling Ye, and he didn't pay attention to the ghost-like shocked expressions of the servants of the imperial army who met along the way.

After the Great Court Meeting, Cangwu Martial Venerable Fang Hongzhen was captured alive, and the news that Lishan Dongjun Ji Wuyue went to Beijing to pay the decree has spread throughout the court and the public. The entire imperial capital, from princes and generals to traffickers and pawns, is talking about it. There was a lot of buzz.Almost everyone in the imperial city knew that Dongjun was going to the palace to face the saint this afternoon.

It was already evening, and Chu Heng was surrounded by the shadow guards of the Son of Heaven. The two leading the way were still wearing the costumes of the emperor on duty. It was clear at a glance that they were there to greet him. Who is this honored person for? You can think of it with your toes.

Ji Wuyue is the most mysterious person in the Kyushu Mahayana realm. The world knows very little about him, but being able to take down Fang Hongzhen, who has dominated Yunzhou for decades, is enough to see his martial arts peak.Now knowing that in a place where no one is around, Lishan Dongjun has already pledged his allegiance to His Majesty, which makes people even more curious, and they all want to see this enigmatic Dongjun.

However, this kind of curiosity, Qiqi turned into astonishment and even horror after seeing Dongjun who took off the gauze hat and showed a face that everyone knew!Dongjun, or the Imperial Attendant Mo, walked through every palace gate, leaving behind people with their eyes wide open.

All the way to the Jingzhang Palace, Chu Heng was still worried, the closer he got to the Jingcheng Palace, the more guilty he felt, the original good reason was lost, his pace gradually slowed down, and he stopped in front of the palace gate.

The shadow guard who came to greet him turned sideways and asked, "What's wrong with Dong Jun? Is there anything wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Heng hadn't responded yet, and the guards almost lost their grip on the tasseled spear in their hands in shock.

They both work in the Jingzhang Palace, and they usually don't look up and down with the imperial servant Mo, the more familiar they are, the harder it is to think in that direction, and they subconsciously regard him as the "Chu Heng" who knows everything.Now that the shadow guard said this, he reacted suddenly.

Chu Heng also came back to his senses. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the Forbidden Army who was so shocked that their eyes were glazed over. So many people were watching...

"It's nothing." Chu Heng said, and walked in with the shadow guard.

I really can't think of a reason to slip away. When I came to the Hall of Jingcheng, Chu Heng was already ready to be interrogated.It was a coincidence that he just went up the steps of the palace and came out of the palace in the face of Lu Ji.

Lu Ji's eyes lit up when he saw the brothers who had always been friends with him. Everyone in the Hall of Martial Arts knew that Chu Heng had gone on a business trip again, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he stepped forward with a smile on his face and whispered call.

Chu Heng nodded and smiled: "Should you be on duty today?"

Lu Ji nodded: "Your Majesty just told me to leave." He patted Chu Heng on the shoulder, and said casually, "Is the mission going well? Come to ask An to come back? It's just right to go now, Commander Xie is also inside."

"Commander Xie is here?" Chu Heng's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of an excuse to run away.After Xie Chu found out that he was Ji Wuyue, he was so angry that he almost wanted to beat him up. The guilty Dong Jun was so frightened that he almost hid from Commander Xie.Ling Ye was also aware of this, and even made fun of him.

He didn't think of a reason to explain, of course he didn't dare to see Commander Xie.Hearing that Commander Xie was in the Jingcheng Hall, he hastily avoided it.

——Very reasonable, Ling Ye definitely couldn't find any reason to give him a higher level of guilt.

Ever since he accidentally got injured in the Lushui Cemetery, Ling Ye never let him put himself in danger.Before returning to Changzhou, he was repeatedly ordered not to kill Fang Hongzhen by force, so as not to injure himself.But this old thief is really hateful, whether he can bear it or not, he must be cut.He agreed at that time, and when he arrived in Changzhou, he would kill the old thief first and then play it. He tied up the old thief and brought him to the imperial capital to discuss his crime.

This tone is smooth, but Chu Heng has not forgotten how His Majesty dealt with the imperial servant Mo who had not returned for a long time in the study.Right now, he has no doubt that Ling Ye will deal with his rebellion while listening to him pay the decree in the Hall of Devotion—absolutely. ①

Since they are going to suffer, it is of course much better to be in Ming Cheng Palace, at least they can beg for mercy unscrupulously.Anyway, the people in front of the imperial court are strict with their mouths, even those aristocratic families can't find out the news, so they are not afraid that all previous efforts along the way will be wasted.

Chu Heng sorted out his thoughts, and immediately threw a sentence to the shadow guard, "Tell Your Majesty, Commander Xie is here, and I will go back first."

As soon as the words fell, before the shadow guard could respond, Dong Jun turned around and headed towards the Mingcheng Hall, and even used his internal strength as he slipped away, and he reached the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Before Lu Ji could react, he heard the shadow guard calling urgently: "Hey, Dong Jun—"

Chu Heng had already turned the corner and disappeared from sight.

Lu Ji stared straight at this teleportation movement, and opened his mouth slightly. How could he not know that Chu Heng's lightness kung fu is so good... The word "Dongjun" came to his ears clearly and suddenly, Lu Ji said Xia was completely stunned, belatedly remembering who the two imperial shadow guards were going to meet.

Then this "Dongjun"...

Lu Ji stared dumbfounded at the direction where his good brother, who used to hang shoulders and shoulders, left. After a long while, he turned around inch by inch with a stiff neck, pointed to the corridor, and asked the shadow guard with his mouth open: "He... Chu Heng, Dong, Dong... ...?"

The shadow guard nodded and said firmly, "Dongjun."

Lu Ji's expression was completely frozen, dumbstruck.

……

It was bound to be a sleepless night.

Dongjun, Yuqian Shimo, and Chu Heng, the three words spread throughout the inner city of the imperial capital.

And the protagonist of the matter has no time to take care of these now.

The summer was so hot that it was inevitable to sweat on the road. Chu Heng went back to Mingcheng Palace to take a bath and changed his clothes.

Of course, Dong Jun's news also spread to Ming Chengdian, and everyone was shocked and curious.As soon as Chu Heng came back, the people below couldn't help but stare at him. Although they didn't dare to look directly at him for a long time, even the little eunuch who was on duty at the door secretly glanced here from time to time.

Chu Heng was playing with a piece of ice jade to cool off the heat, raised his eyelids and looked at the big court lady who was playing the fan, and said amusedly: "What's the matter? It's just that I haven't been in the palace for more than a month, so you don't know me when you come back?" Looking around sideways, he continued to laugh and said, "Being Dong Jun didn't have a nose and eyes, so you can just look at it if you want to. You can look up and look straight at it. What's the matter if you sneak a glance and think I don't know?"

Empress Chu is a good-natured master, she doesn't care much about the rules of servants, as long as it is not related to the health of her majesty, in the past two years, even if she gets angry, she will rarely blame the servants, let alone open like this It's a joke.

As soon as the words fell, all the palace people in the palace showed their colors.The big court lady playing the fan looked at him and said with a smile: "Master's reform is really unexpected."

Chu Heng smiled: "If people think of it earlier, how can they catch fish in Changzhou. Now it's just right, fishing is scary and not wrong, but let's see who dares to mess with their minds."

He glanced at the inscription on the corner of the wall, "Your Majesty should be back soon, prepare to deliver the food. Go to the Imperial Hospital personally, and let the imperial doctor come to Mingcheng Palace in half an hour."

"Are you feeling unwell?" The palace maid immediately became nervous, put down her fan and walked to the front.

"I'm fine." Chu Heng waved his hand, his hair was almost dry, he stood up and went to the mirror to tie his hair, sighed and said: "It's just that your majesty is sad, alas, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get well tonight. "

……

When Xushi was approaching, Ling Ye returned to Mingcheng Hall.

Chu Heng was obediently sitting at the dining table waiting for him.

Ling Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and cleaned his hands in the folding basin brought by the servant. Chu Heng stood up, took the handkerchief from the maid's tray, and came to dry Ling Ye's fingers, and asked for a kiss by the way.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, we haven't seen each other for more than a month, how can we not miss it?Ling Ye smiled, wrapped his arms around Chu Heng's neck, and lowered his head to press his lips.

The two parted with a breath, Chu Heng was satisfied, and at the same time secretly looked at Ling Ye's expression, and felt that it was not as bad as he imagined.

Ling Ye sat down and poured a bowl of soup for Chu Heng, and said casually, "I'm afraid I didn't eat a few meals on the way to Changzhou this time, and I lost some weight."

The matter of committing a personal risk has not yet been clarified. How dare Chu Heng ask Ling Ye to correct other things? Hearing this, he quickly shook his head: "Where is it? I was in a hurry to go to Huai Ze, and the road was indeed over, but There are no other places in Changzhou. Not to mention, I have tasted all the famous dishes in Changbei and Changnan. Didn’t I go to Yichong, Xiaohou personally entertained me, why did I lose weight? Just like you Said, I came back from Lishan at the beginning of the year, and you said the same thing."

Ling Ye was noncommittal, just smiled lightly, "Okay, let's eat."

He was smiling, and he was so handsome under the halo of the palace lanterns, while Chu Heng relaxed, feeling that he was too concerned. Ling Ye was in a good mood tonight, presumably because he had asked the shadow guard in the Palace of Jingcheng, and now he Seeing that he was safe and sound with his own eyes, most of the worry and anger in his heart naturally disappeared.

If he splashes water again later, the embers of the fire will definitely be completely extinguished.

With the burden in my heart gone, even eating tastes better.The dishes for dinner today were extraordinarily rich. Bazhen Jade Food was set up on the table. Chu Heng tasted it and gave Ling Ye a piece of chopsticks, "This is delicious, very delicious."

The fish in the dish was as red and bright as a peony. Ling Ye slightly moved his brows and looked at Chu Heng. The latter took another sip, looked up to meet Ling Ye's gaze, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? Is it not delicious? I think it's delicious. It tastes good, fragrant but not fishy."

Ling Ye pulled his lips, "It's nothing." He lowered his head and ate Chu Hengbu's exquisite peony bream, nodded and said, "It's really good."

"Really." Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and gave him another chopstick. Ling Ye smiled but kept eating, but he was grinding his teeth in his heart.

——I also said that I have tasted Changzhou famous dishes all over again. What a coincidence, this exquisite peony bream that he has eaten several mouthfuls without tasting is an authentic Changbei famous dish.The fish used in the bream is raised in Huangzhuang, a hot spring. Compared with the river fish that grows naturally in Changzhou, the taste should be inferior.If he had heard that he had eaten well in Changzhou, he wouldn't have said those words just now.

Chu Heng is neither particular nor particular about food.In fact, he has no particular preference or dislike of meat and vegetables. He is not picky about ingredients, but he is very picky about food.When they first got together, Ling Ye hadn't noticed this yet. In his impression, Chu Heng liked to eat shrimps, stir-fried and boiled, cucumber and asparagus with anything, as if he never got tired of eating them.But then a few times, when the imperial dining room changed to a different taste, Chu Heng didn't necessarily buy shrimps all the time, and he wouldn't even think about not eating them for a few months.

There is no bad dish in the palace, and the most important thing in the imperial dining room is the chefs with exquisite craftsmanship. Chu Heng's picky tongue was also cultivated by Ling Ye.He is a person who is not very good at making ends meet, his mouth is difficult to serve, and the more delicate the dishes are, the more particular they are, and if they don't meet the taste he wants, he would rather not order them.

But at the same time, he is a man who can make ends meet. Unless he is traveling, he is too lazy to bother. Most of the time, he has no time to tell the chef that this dish should be sour and sweet, and that dish should be salty. It's a bit spicy.So whenever he has business to go out, he will only choose some simple and uninspiring dishes - the rich flavor of Shengjin 24 gas wontons and ordinary white flour cooking cakes, he will only order the latter, and a normal chef can cook Well, it won't lose its flavor easily.

This kind of ordering usually gives people a false impression that he is well-fed, but every time he comes back, Ling Ye can feel that his waistline is narrow when he hugs him.So whenever he went out, he had to tell him to "eat well", but whether he listened or not, Chu Heng always thought that Ling Ye didn't know.

After a peaceful dinner, after rinsing his mouth and drinking a cup of tea, the imperial doctor called by Chu Heng arrived.

"I'm here to ask for a pulse." He offered to say.

The intention is self-evident.

Ling Ye didn't speak, but with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, he raised his chin to signal the imperial doctor to come forward.

Since Chu Heng dared to declare, he must know that the internal injuries he suffered earlier are almost healed.The imperial doctor cut the pulse and did not find anything wrong, he insisted on saying something wrong, it was just a little spleen deficiency, you can use some warm and nourishing food to nourish the middle and Qi, there is no serious problem.

While listening to the doctor's order, Chu Heng stared at Ling Ye's expression. After the imperial doctor was sent away, he felt that everything was ready and he couldn't make a mistake, so he took the initiative to bring up the matter of capturing Fang Hongzhen alive in Changzhou.Let me first talk about how this thief deserves to die for his crimes, and he deserves to be killed for both emotion and reason.The most important thing: "I'm fine, the imperial doctor said I'm fine."

"It's not injured either, if you don't believe me touch it." He took Ling Ye's hand and put it inside his shirt.

"Really?" Ling Ye said slowly.

Just now in the Hall of Respect and Sincerity, he had asked the shadow guards accompanying him in Changzhou. What Chu Heng said could not be completely false, at least he seemed to be fine the night Fang Hongzhen was captured alive.

But if it was true as what Chu Heng said, he wouldn't have gone back to the palace without seeing him first, and instead ran to the Mingcheng Hall—didn't think of a reason to explain to Xie Chu?I haven't figured out how to tell myself.

Ye Jianwei, the lord of the Eastern Capital, bypassed the letter that Chu Heng handed over to the Shadow Guard, knowing what he would say without opening it.

Forcibly killing the Mahayana realm, even Dong Jun, who is alone in the world, will inevitably be injured, the difference is only the severity.

Of course Ling Ye knew that Fang Hongzhen respected the king and rebelled against the party, and he was like a military flag with peace of mind.Even if he didn't respect the king, it would be difficult for Fang Hongzhen to live in peace for a long time in Yunzhou, where the sky is high and the earth is far away. Sooner or later, evil ways will cause disaster.To deal with him, Ling Ye certainly thought of many ways, either to restrain or suppress him, but he had to admit that killing him was the most effective once and for all.

Fang Hongzhen is not an upright Mahayana realm, he took the "shortcut" of sorcery, and although he eventually became famous, it also made him a little different from the real great masters such as Ji Wuyue and Jing Xueli.

Chu Heng did have the ability to kill him with one sword.

Lishan Dongjun is the most powerful person standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, of course Ling Ye does not want to restrain Chu Heng, let alone hide him under his wings - that would be contempt and humiliation to him.

Chu Heng can do whatever he wants, but Ling Ye will not agree to the forcible killing of Mahayana, even if Fang Hongzhen is far inferior to him.

In the Lushui Cemetery, the seriously injured and fragile Chu Heng taught Ling Ye a lesson, and he couldn't afford a second time.That thin piece of letter paper made Quanyu Kyushu's Jiangshan master know for the first time that fear can penetrate the soul.

——Chu Heng is Ling Ye's "dare not".

Once King Jing fell, the Cangwu Fang clan would have to keep their tails between their legs for at least the next ten years.When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Kyushu is so big, the undercurrents under the sea will not be the only ones that surfaced with King Jing. He can tolerate others, and he can also tolerate the subdued Cangwu City.

But if Chu Heng wanted to take risks, Ling Ye couldn't bear it.

No matter how bad Fang Hongzhen was, he was in the Mahayana realm. At the critical moment of life and death, even if he had only three points in strength, he could still achieve six points.Chu Heng must be injured.

Ling Ye was afraid that he would kill him first, so he deliberately asked Yingshou to go to the border of Ningchang to watch Chu Heng after finishing the Yinghai Gu epidemic.On the way, they happened to meet Ye Jianwei who also knew his apprentice well. Although they were half a step behind, they still caught up and helped Chu Heng who was already killing him.

The end result is good, but disobedience is disobedience, and not just one.

Ling Ye moved his fingertips over Chu Heng's waist and grabbed his hand.

"Come here, I will interrogate you."
