The man's voice came from the sky again: "Then tell me, what is our common goal?"
A trace of suspicion appeared in Hu Jinbao's eyes: "Our common goal? We know it well, so why bother to say it. Although it's already night, if people listen to it, it will be very bad."
"Hmph!" shouted the voice in the air, "You are playing tricks! It is because you have forgotten our common goal that the king asked us to kill you. A guy like you who has a beginning and an end may kill us. Secret confession, so the king is right to ask me to kill you."
There were only a few dang-dang-dang sounds in the air, and four darts brushed past Hu Jinbao's head against the Futou, and tied them on the sedan chair.
Hu Jinbao's face was ashen, and his soul was gone.
"Your Excellency, don't get angry. Your Majesty and I are like brothers. Why did you betray him! My Majesty and I have agreed a long time ago that we will kill Rong Chang'an, destroy Yan Li, and seize the country of Dajing. A certain person wished. I, Hu Jinbao, am willing to be heartbroken for the king, and I will not hesitate to do so. Please let me go back and say a few kind words to the king for me, Hu is very grateful!"
After finishing speaking, Hu Jinbao got off the sedan chair tremblingly, knelt down on the road, and didn't know which direction to face, but kowtowed to the east, west, north, south, and wept profusely while kowtow.
"I beg your Majesty to take pity on me, Lao Hu! I still have a seventy-year-old mother, seven concubines, a wife, fifteen children, and a lot of servants to support. I am dead, what will they do? I, Hu, swear to the heavens, if the king's affairs are leaked out, I will be killed by a thunderbolt!"
The miserable cry sounded in the quiet night, and was blown by the gentle evening wind, making it even more eerie.
After a while, the voice in the air just said: "Okay, I will let you go this time, and I will go back and intercede for you in front of the king. If you really break your oath, the king and I will never forgive you !"
Hu Jinbao cried and laughed, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for your mercy, your kindness will never be forgotten! By the way, haven't you asked your honorable name yet?"
Qingyue laughed loudly in the air: "You don't need to know my name, you just need to know that I am someone close to the king. Alright, go home now!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Jinbao escaped from danger, and now he can't wait to grow two more legs and fly home.
The servant helped him up, staggered into the sedan chair, and hurriedly shouted: "Go!"
The bearer lifted Hu Jinbao, and ran back to Hu's private house with his feet flying. Jia Ding didn't dare to light the lantern, and went back all the way to slander.
Hu Jinbao's team turned around the intersection, and raised two figures on the roof of a house.
Ha ha ha ha!
The two laughed so hard that their stomachs ached.
"Hu Jinbao is so greedy for life and afraid of death, it would be strange if he didn't invite Taoist priests to come back tonight!" Xiong Yanchao said.
Lin Hai curled his lips and said contemptuously: "This kind of person deserves it even if he is scared to death in bed!"
After Xiong Yanchao smiled, he frowned thickly: "I didn't expect Hu Jinbao to be greedy for life and fear of death, but secretly plotting such an earth-shattering conspiracy. It's really shocking!"
Lin Hai realized that the matter was very important, so he had to go back and tell Rong Changan immediately: "It's not too late now, let's go back to Chen's house."
Two figures, one tall and one short and thin, jumped down from the roof silently, landed lightly on the road, turned their legs, and ran like flying, walking in the opposite direction to Hu Jinbao.
Not long after, I returned to Chen's house.
Chen Jun was locked in Chen's room and cried bitterly. He didn't want to see either Yan Li or Rong Changan.
Zi Yan was also waiting outside the house, it was already late at night, and she couldn't sleep yet, Zi Yan was angry.
"Your majesty, he really regards himself as a nobleman! If the emperor did not think highly of him and swore to him, he would still be a poor scholar. The emperor begged to see him outside the door, but he didn't answer? Don't say it's my mother's death, it's my mother and my wife. There is no such reason for the father to die together. Since he is shameless, the emperor will convict him of disrespect, cut off his title, and let him guard his old mother's spiritual throne in this broken house for the rest of his life. .”
Eunuch Lu also disliked him very much: "Concubine Ziyan is right. It is painful to lose his parents, but as the king of a country and the parents of all people, isn't the emperor more important than his mother? He is so presumptuous that he refuses to come out to see a Seeing the emperor and empress leaving the noble concubine and others behind, it's really outrageous!"
Yan Lidao: "Chen Jun and his mother depended on each other. Now that the good times have come, his mother has passed away. I can understand the pain in his heart. Let's not disturb him and let him be quiet. Eunuch Lu, you send two The little eunuch is waiting outside the door in case Yudi needs anything."
Eunuch Lu looked very reluctant: "Your Majesty..."
Yan Li's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Why, you want to resist the order?"
Eunuch Lu hurriedly bowed his body: "This servant dare not resist the order even if he has a hundred guts!"
Yan Li: "Then hurry up!"
"Follow the order!"
Eunuch Lu was sweating, and he came out and ordered the two eunuchs to stay outside the house for a moment.
Yan Li said to Rong Chang'an and the others: "You have been tired all day today, it's getting late, you all go to rest!"
Ziyan couldn't wait to hear these words, and took Zixuan's hand: "Sister, let's go back!"
Deliberately touching Rong Chang'an's shoulder when passing by, Zi Yan hooked the corner of his mouth, "Oh, I'm sorry Queen!" A provocative look flicked across Rong Chang'an's face.
Rong Changan didn't want Zixuan and Ziyan to get too close: "Why, you two are going to sleep together tonight?"
Ziyan looked at her disdainfully: "Why, won't the queen allow it? Zixuan sleeps with me, which is much safer than sleeping with you. At least there will be no assassins!"
After speaking, he dragged Zixuan away.
The Chen family had limited space, so Ma Guang temporarily expropriated the neighbor's house, bought brand new and expensive furniture and put it in, temporarily using it as the emperor's residence.
Ziyan and Zixuan slept at the neighbor's place, Rong Changan and Yan Li were going to stay at Chen's house, but the old lady had just passed away and her body was parked in the main hall, it was unlucky, so Yan Li and Rong Changan had to rest at another neighbor's house . The other palace maids and eunuchs all slept in temporary colored sheds.
Just as Rong Chang'an and Yan Li were walking out of the Chen family, Lin Hai and Xiong Yanchao also arrived. Seeing how excited they are, you can tell that they have found good news.
"Lin Hai, Xiong Yanchao, you have found gold, you are smiling."
Although there were smiles on their faces, there was a hint of sternness in the depths of their eyes. What is it that makes their expressions so contradictory, you have to listen to them to know.
Xiong Yanchao and Lin Hai made a big gift to Yan Lirong Chang'an.
Xiong Yanchao was impatient, so he rushed in front of Lin Hai and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, your subordinates have important information to report..."
