Xiao Qinzi grinded his teeth and had to admit that what the old man said made sense.
"Then what should we do? The emperor must have sent people to block the streets, and then asked the Imperial Guard to search, right?"
The old man shook his head and said: "How can we ordinary people guess the emperor's thoughts? The emperor still didn't speak. The leader of the Royal Forest Army couldn't bear the pressure. He walked to the emperor and said something in a low voice. It happened that my old man was standing close. After hearing this, it turned out that the leader of the Royal Forest Army was just like you, and was going to block the streets, and then send the Royal Forest Army to search door to door to find that person. When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly. The question is: 'What if I can't find it?'"
"Yes, why can't we find it?" Xiao Qinzi said.
"The leader of the Royal Forest Army was dumbfounded. After a while, he replied: 'I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. We must give Northern Qi an explanation.' His voice was not low when he said this, and most of the people standing nearby Everyone heard it, and they all shuddered in unison. This clearly meant that if we couldn't find that person, we would arrest or kill everyone on the street. In short, we must not provoke anyone. The third princess of the Northern Qi Kingdom! This makes everyone tremble with fear and chill. Are the lives of the common people of Xichu not as good as the face of the third princess of the Northern Qi Kingdom? , but also to protect the face of the third princess, this is simply heart-breaking!"
When the old man said this, he couldn't help coughing hard several times, but he still looked angry.
Xiao Qinzi nodded vigorously and said: "Who is the leader of the Royal Forest Army? He is really nothing. How dare he come up with such a bad idea to the emperor? The emperor will definitely not agree with his method. The emperor is a sensible person and will never care about human life. of."
"Yes, yes, the emperor is wise and wise, and of course he will not do such stupid things. Just when everyone was looking at the emperor in fear, the emperor spoke again. He said: 'Come on, take it!' That's it! These four words made everyone's hearts sink to the ground. Everyone felt cold in their hearts, and their eyes were full of despair. The emperor ordered the arrest, which means he listened to the opinion of the leader of the Royal Forest Army. He would rather kill by mistake than let go. If we don’t manage to save everyone’s lives, we all have to answer here.”
"You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! The emperor is not this kind of person, and he would not issue such a stupid order!" Xiao Qinzi shouted unbearably.
The old man wasn't angry, he just glanced at Xiao Qinzi and clicked his tongue twice when he saw the veins on his forehead popping out.
"Young man, what are you in a hurry for? Listen to my old man speak slowly. Didn't my old man say that the emperor is wise and wise? How could he give such a stupid order? As soon as the emperor spoke, the leader of the Imperial Guards immediately turned around and faced the Imperial Guards around him. He said: "The emperor has an order, go in and get someone immediately!" Before the Imperial Guards could take action, the Emperor had already spoken again: "The person I want to capture is you!" When everyone saw that the Emperor was pointing at the leader of the Imperial Guards, they all couldn't help but sigh. stunned."
Xiao Qinzi also opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time. It took a while before he came back to his senses.
"What did you just say, sir, that the person the Emperor wants to capture is the leader of the Royal Forest Army?"
