Dragon Warrior

Chapter 185
The strong smell of blood in the courtyard lingered for a long time, but Zhao Min and Xiao Jing seemed to be unable to perceive it at all, and only had each other in their eyes.

After a long time, when the twenty or so eunuchs who had been frightened to death came back to their senses and were about to sneak away, they were not alarmed again.

Zhao Min pulled away from Xiao Jing's arms, and said, "Ah Da, kill them."

Ah Da stretched out his long sword, and charged towards the remaining twenty or so eunuchs, Ah Er and Ah San also stepped forward to help with their injured bodies.Those twenty or so eunuchs are all people with extraordinary martial arts, and they couldn't beat them.

Xiao Jing frowned slightly, took Wu Yaohong's long whip, and whipped it casually. Amid the crackling sound, more than twenty eunuchs fell to the ground, breathless, and everyone's throats were crushed by the whip. , died unexpectedly.

Zhao Min said with sadness in his eyes: "Now that the father and elder brother have fallen into the hands of the emperor, the emperor will definitely attack the palace next time. It seems that we can only avoid the limelight first."

Xiao Jing said: "I got the news that your father was indeed imprisoned by the emperor for treason, but because Wang Baobao led a large army to open the way in front, after learning the news from the rear, he directly fled with tens of thousands of elite soldiers loyal to your family. Yes, it seems that the route is going to the Mongolian grassland."

Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Brother escaped unexpectedly, thank God, he was not caught by the emperor."

Xiao Jing said: "I suggest that you dismiss all the people in the mansion first, so that they won't ruin the emperor's hands."

Zhao Min nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. Anyway, these people have no blood relationship with my family. After they are dismissed, the imperial court will not make great efforts to catch them. As long as they are careful, they can save their lives." Zhao Min summoned all the people in the mansion, including the concubines of Prince Ruyang and his son, as well as servants.

Zhao Min took out some money and distributed it to everyone, and let them go their separate ways.

Afterwards, she hid all the valuables at home in the secret room where Xiao Jing was previously imprisoned, and then they left the Ruyang Prince's Mansion and found an inn to stay.

Although Emperor Zhizheng would definitely search for Zhao Min missing, but Xiao Jing didn't take it to heart at all. Since the person has arrived by his side, it must be the safest.

That night, although Xiao Jing and Zhao Min each booked a room, neither of them had the intention of separating. After this almost life-and-death parting, they cherished every moment of being together more and more.

Zhao Min was worried about King Ruyang, and didn't want to sleep at all, but during this period of time, she kept going back and forth, and experienced several great joys and sorrows, her spirit and body were too much for her, and she finally fell asleep in Xiao Jing's arms.

This sleep lasted from just after dark until the dawn of the next day.Zhao Min was woken up by a commotion, opened his eyes and saw that it was supposed to be the darkest hour before dawn, but at this time, fires were flickering, turned his head and looked around, but saw Xiao Jing standing Looking out from the window.

Xiao Jing heard the movement, turned her head to Zhao Min and said, "There was too much movement outside, it woke you up."

Zhao Min said: "What's going on outside?"

Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "There is a fire in your house. It seems that your house caught fire. It should be caused by the emperor."

Zhao Min's face turned pale, and he tightly closed his eyes, trying not to let the tears flow down.Xiao Jing walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, hugged her in her arms, and said: "Cry if you want to cry, this time is really difficult for you."

Zhao Min put his chin on Xiao Jing's shoulder, although he forcibly suppressed it, he still couldn't stop shedding two lines of tears, and finally fell into Xiao Jing's arms and wept loudly.

Xiao Jing let her vent the sadness in her heart, she understood Zhao Min's mood very well at this time, no matter whether it was King Ruyang whose life or death was uncertain, or the destruction of the house where she lived since she was a child, it was extremely important to her hit.

Xiao Jing didn't care about the life and death of King Ruyang. This old man imprisoned himself for a year and didn't take revenge on him. It was already the result of trying his best for the sake of King Ruyang's daughter. He still cared about Ruyang Wang's life and death is really a joke.

And even though he didn't admit it, Xiao Jing was very happy that King Ruyang was unlucky. King Ruyang imprisoned him for the great cause of Yuan Ting, but the irony is that this old man himself was imprisoned by Yuan Ting in turn.

With such an emperor on the table, no matter how capable King Ruyang is, it would be useless, not to mention him, even Yue Wumu's resurrection would still be useless.

However, Zhizheng Emperor's series of actions still made him very unhappy, and judging from the recent situation, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to quickly disintegrate the Yuan Court.

It was not only out of a thunderous blow to the Mongolian court, but also out of a strong fight back against Emperor Zhizheng's coveting of Zhao Min. At this moment, Xiao Jing had made up his mind to make a big commotion and teach Emperor Zhizheng a good lesson.

When Zhao Min was almost done venting, the sky had already brightened, and the fire in Ruyang Palace gradually weakened.Shan'er quickly fetched clean hot water to help Zhao Min wash up, and then they started eating downstairs again.

Halfway through the meal, a smiling middle-aged man with three long beards fluttering in the wind came to the inn.The middle-aged man went straight to Xiao Jing's side, bowed and said, "See the leader."

Xiao Jing waved his hand and said, "Elder Xiu doesn't need to be too polite. If you haven't eaten, let's have some together!"

Zhao Min knew all the high-ranking members of the Beggar Gang, so he was no stranger to this middle-aged man.

It turned out that after Xiao Jing escaped from the secret room, he wandered around the capital city for a while, and soon found traces of the activities of the Beggar Clan. After a secret follow-up investigation, he found out that it was the brothers who were in charge of the leader and the rudder of the great wisdom. Sneak back into the metropolis, looking for his whereabouts.

Xiu Zifu smiled and said: "I haven't eaten the meal yet, so my subordinates will be impolite." He exchanged greetings with Zhao Min and the others, sat down and began to eat.

After eating, they returned to the guest room, Xiao Jing said: "I asked you to investigate, how is your inquiry?"

Xiu Zifu said: "My subordinates have roughly inquired about some news. First, Emperor Zhizheng officially issued an edict announcing the ten crimes committed by King Ruyang. Among them, the first one is colluding with rebels and intending to usurp the throne."

Although Zhao Min had vaguely guessed that this would be the result, when the emperor really announced it to the world, her heart still sank.

Xiao Jing glanced at her and said, "What else?"

Xiu Zifu said: "Emperor Zhizheng also ordered to arrest Wang Baobao and Miss Zhao and bring them to justice, saying that as long as Miss Zhao is willing to plead guilty, he will let the net go and save Miss Zhao's life so that she will not be implicated in the crime of implicating the nine clans. "

Xiao Jing snorted coldly, and said: "The emperor is a demon, and he is still dreaming of whimsical dreams, I don't know what it means."

Xiu Zifu went on to say: "Thirdly, the little prince born to Qi Chengniang will be full moon in two days, the emperor did issue a lot of edicts to hold a birthday banquet for the little prince in order to deceive King Ruyang, and now Although King Ruyang has been moved, but after all, you are not joking, this blessing and longevity banquet will continue to be held."

Xiao Jing nodded and said: "Emperor Zhizheng has a bad relationship with Qi Chengniang, how sincere can he be to this so-called little prince? Besides, I always feel that there is something wrong with this child."

Xiu Zifu said: "Could it be that the leader suspects that this child is not the Emperor Zhizheng's? But the emperor is the only man in the palace, if it is not the emperor's, who should it be?"

Xiao Jing shook his head and smiled, "It's just a guess. You'll know if it's the emperor's seed when you see it. And the emperor may not be the only man in the palace."

Xiu Zifu and the others showed surprise and asked again, but Xiao Jing waved his hand and said, "What else did you find?"

Xiu Zifu suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said: "The Zhongshu Pingzhang Shi Polo Timur has already entered Beijing. I heard that he will take over the post of Taiwei of King Ruyang, and then lead Yuan soldiers to suppress rebels everywhere. The emperor said The second time I dared to attack King Ruyang, I got the support of this person."

Xiao Jing thought for a moment, and said: "Polo Timur and King Ruyang are both rare commanders, but this person is a wolf with ambition, and Emperor Zhizheng really wants to lure wolves into the house this time."

Xiu Zifu said with emotion: "There is no way to do this. Emperor Zhizheng has already determined that King Ruyang is going to rebel. Even if he knows that Polo Timur is not trustworthy, he can only drink poison to quench his thirst. Otherwise, he is afraid that he will die soon. Not sure."

Xiao Jing said: "This is all thanks to Boyan, the powerful minister back then. If he hadn't bullied Emperor Zhizheng so hard and left him with a psychological shadow, he wouldn't be so obsessed with conflicting opinions. Suppression is a threat. To be honest, Tuotuo back then was indeed a rare chancellor, and he made some achievements during his reign, but because he was Boyan's nephew, he was never trusted by the emperor, and eventually died, unlike today's Ru How similar is Yang Wang?"

Xiu Zifu laughed and said, "Emperors like Emperor Zhizheng are the gospel for our Han people. If it weren't for his inaction, it would not be as easy for us to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty."

Xiao Jing nodded, as if he agreed with Xiu Zifu's point of view, he turned around and said, "I learned from the mouth of Baili Renren that something happened in the Beggar Clan, Cheng Kun's master and apprentice are trying to occupy the magpie's nest and control the Clan Fight the world for them. After you take a short rest, immediately return to Junshan, and you must not let the elders of the gang be harmed by their masters and apprentices."

Xiu Zifu solemnly said: "Don't worry, the leader, since you have seen their tricks, you will naturally not let them succeed."

Xiao Jing said: "After you go back, gather a few elders first, and find a way to rescue Master Shi and Elder Cao, so as not to cause them to suffer from Chen Youliang's evil hands."

Xiu Zifu said: "This subordinate will definitely live up to the sect leader's entrustment."

Xiao Jing said again: "I am very relieved when you do things. However, if the enemy is powerful, you can temporarily bear it and wait for me to go back to deal with it. I still have some things to do in Dadu, and I will go back after I am done."
