Just as Emperor Jingping was filled with relief and silently staring at Zhu Ying, a young eunuch hurriedly ran in.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lu is looking for a meeting outside the hall."

Emperor Jingping frowned. It was late at night now. If there was no urgent matter, Lu Bing would not have entered the palace rashly.

Could it be that something happened in Yaowu Camp?

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingping's heart skipped a beat and said anxiously:

"Hurry up!"

Soon, Lu Bing and his two hurriedly walked in under the guidance of the little eunuch and fell to the ground in a few steps:

"I, Lu Bing, commander of the Jinyiwei, please call the Holy One."

"My memory, Wei Ran, please ask the Holy An."

Emperor Jingping was anxious and waved his hand lightly:

"Well, I."

When he saw Wei Ran kneeling behind Lu Bing, he even believed that something must have happened in Yaowu Camp!

"But there is news about Shanchengzi?"

Emperor Jingping did not show any expression, glanced at Lu Bing and the others indifferently, and said softly.

"Your Majesty clearly understands that Shanchengzi led a unit of Yaowu Camp in Changping County, beheading 1,500 people and capturing Hu Rui, the Black Flag Army general."

This matter is very important, but Lu Bing did not explain the situation directly, but changed his speech.

When everyone in the warm pavilion heard this, their faces changed. Changping County was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so how could they encounter the Black Flag Army?

"Black Flag Army!"

After Emperor Jingping heard the three words "Black Flag Army", his face suddenly became gloomy.

A knife-like gaze was turned to Lu Bing, saying word by word:

"Talk about it!!"

Lu Bing did not dare to neglect and repeated what Wei Ran said before.

For a moment, the needles fell in the warm cabinet and the few people in the cabinet couldn't stop using their eyes to communicate.

"Is it possible that the Eastern Front has been lost?"

"No way? More than 100,000 people under the command of the General Wangu Tower of Zhendong are under the command of more than 100,000 people. It is snowing heavily in the sky, not in wartime..."

"Or, Wangulou has surrendered to Zheng?"

The more Zhang Hong and the other two thought about it, the more frightened they became. If the eastern front was lost, Kyoto would be completely exposed to Zheng Guo’s eyelids.

By then, don’t prepare to go to war with Chen State. Why not think about how to strengthen Kyoto’s defense...

Emperor Jingping's mind flashed countless thoughts. The third prince went to the Eastern Front to work hard and had not returned. However, such a big mistake was made on the Eastern Front. Is it a coincidence or something...

"Wei Ran, come with me."

After saying that, Emperor Jingping walked towards the ear room.

As he was thinking, Emperor Jingping remembered what Lu Bing said just now that Xiao Zicheng also captured a black flag army general. Since he sent Wei Ran back, there must be other news to report.

As soon as Emperor Jingping took Wei Ran and left, Zhu Ying and Zhang Hong and others surrounded Lu Bing in the middle.

"Lu Bing, what's going on?"

"Master Lu, has the Eastern Front been lost? How is the situation falling to the ground?"

"Commander Lu, you are talking, I'm so anxious!"

“What is the situation?”

Lu Bing was surrounded in the middle with laughter and tears, but when facing these cabinet ministers, he was really helpless.

"Your Highness, everyone, I have reported to Your Majesty the truth just now, and the rest are not clear..."

Seeing that Lu Bing was asking questions, everyone did not continue to ask questions, but just looked in the direction of the ear room with an anxious expression.

In the ear room.

Emperor Jingping carried his hands on his back, and his face was dark and hard to see under the reflection of candlelight.

"Tell me, Xiao Zicheng asked you to bring some news."

Wei Ran was obviously shocked by the momentum emitted by Emperor Jingping, and stuttered:

"Return... Go to Your Majesty... The Lord tortured the General of the Governor for a long time, but he had never received any news from the General of the Governor.

In desperation, the Lord trapped the ganja in the dark room and was punished by drops of water. After two days, the ganja could not stand it and he already wanted to speak."

Speaking of this, Wei Ran looked at Emperor Jingping with some anxiety:

"I never thought... I never thought..."

Emperor Jingping looked cold and said coldly:

"speak!"

Wei Ran couldn't help but tremble and swallowed:

"I never thought that when the Lord Sir brought the general to the dark room and was preparing for interrogation, an assassin pretended to be a soldier and suddenly attacked him and stabbed the general to death with one sword...

The Lord immediately ordered the arrest, but he never thought that the assassin was a dead soldier. After the assassin was successful, he immediately bit the poison sac and died of blood from his seven orifices.

In order to prevent the people behind the scenes from knowing the success of the assassination, the Lord blocked the news and gathered the soldiers of the Yaowu Camp scattered everywhere.

General Wei Che will select reliable people and temporarily detain all the jailers present, and have been asked for inquiries on His Day.”

Emperor Jingping nodded. Xiao Zicheng's handling method was quite safe.

But there was only one thing that surprised Emperor Jingping.

Wei Che has been running the Yaowu Camp for many years and has many close friends in the army. Those who can be chosen as personal soldiers and be responsible for Xiao Zicheng's safety must be the old man who knows the truth.

Under this premise, the assassin can still get involved.

In other words, this dead man has been in the Yaowu Camp for many years, and such a long-standing layout is really incredible.

"The Lord asked the villain to tell His Majesty that the Eastern Front has not been lost.

But when he returns to the capital, the Lord will find someone to pretend to be the general of the gang to show the illusion that the general of the gang is still alive.

At that time, His Majesty will need to cooperate and directly summon him to the palace."

After Wei Ran said that, he lowered his face and quietly waited for Emperor Jingping to reply.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was not until Wei Ran felt a little pain in his knee that Emperor Jingping spoke quietly:

"I am tired, please kneel down and rest."

Wei Ranru received a general amnesty, bowed deeply, and then quietly left the ear room.

When Zhu Ying saw Wei Ran walk out of his ear room, he could not see Emperor Jingping, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​going forward to ask.

This matter must have been involved in a wide range.

......

As the end of the year approaches, the weather becomes colder and colder, and another heavy snow falls, causing the originally noisy Kyoto to fall into tranquility.

Xiao Zicheng sat on the horse and walked forward with difficulty in facing the wind and snow. Looking at the dark black city walls that faintly appeared in the wind and snow, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

After rushing for more than ten days in a row, I finally returned to Kyoto...

Your grandfather’s, there is no good ending to show off. If you want to ride a horse in winter, your surname will not be Xiao!!

"Deng Hua, Deng Hua? Where did you go?"

Xiao Zicheng looked around for a week but couldn't see Deng Hua's shadow, and couldn't help but shout.

"This is...the Lord here..."

Deng Hua rode his horse to Xiao Zicheng in the wind and snow.

"General Wei asked you to protect my safety with your own eyes. Do you want to fool me a little more? Just let the assassin kill me..."

Deng Hua scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled honestly:

"Don't worry, Sir, I have been paying attention to the movements around me. I am not bragging to you. If there is any movement, I will definitely not escape my eyes."
