Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 61 Martial Law in the City
Feng Qi didn't answer Ling Xiao's question.

Jing'an City was only one city away from the imperial capital, and the imperial guards led by Ling Xiao personally escorted them, and returned to the imperial capital in the evening of the next day.

The night had not yet fallen, but the gates of the city were closed.

The imperial guards stopped neatly without saying a word.

Feng Wuhen, who was sitting on the horse, frowned, and drove the horse forward. Seeing that there were suddenly several times more defenders, he asked coldly, "What happened? Why did you close the city gate so early?"

These city guards were all unfamiliar faces, and they didn't know Feng Wuhen. However, they knew the guard robes worn by these imposing men in front of them.

Hearing this, he said in a hesitant tone: "Who are you? We have followed the order from above. The city is not safe tonight, so the whole city is under martial law."

The gates of the city were closed tightly, and the whole city was under martial law.

A sharp cold light flashed in Feng Wuhen's eyes, "Whose order?"

"This..." The city guards looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Because they don't know whose order it is.

Feng Wuhen frowned, "Who is your boss?"

"It's me." At the same time as a voice sounded, a tall man in an armor and cloak walked over from behind. He was about 30 years old, with his sword hanging diagonally by his side, looking at Feng Wuhen expressionlessly, "Who are you?"

While speaking, his hand clenched the hilt of the sword subconsciously.

Feng Wuhen noticed his movements, but kept his expression on his face. He sat on the horse and looked down at him, and said indifferently: "What's your name? Whose order did you follow? The imperial decree of the emperor, or yours?" Is there a boss up there?"

A series of three questions caused the man's expression to change slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "This is Li Yi, the deputy commander of the city guard army, and I am serving the Queen Mother's order."

"Empress Dowager's order?" Feng Wuhen sneered, "When can a woman in the harem give orders to the city guard?"

Li Yi's complexion changed suddenly, and he suddenly shouted coldly: "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude to the empress dowager!"

After the voice fell, he suddenly felt a biting chill hit his face, and Li Yi couldn't help but look at the two rows of imperial guards in front of him.

Janissaries?
Li Yi's heart trembled, and his eyes moved uncontrollably to the carriage guarded by the imperial guards. After a moment of silence, he raised his eyes to look at Feng Wuhen who was on the horse, and a feeling of something bad slowly rose in his heart. a feeling of.

Although he didn't know this man on horseback, he had a stern aura and called the Empress Dowager "a woman in the harem" in a cold and contemptuous tone. Do ordinary people have the guts?

Behind him were guards, guards that only the emperor had the right to mobilize...

"Who is sitting in the carriage?" Li Yi felt a little more cautious, and the tone of the question could not help being a little scruples.

Feng Wuhen's expression was cold, although he was not angry at his rude "presumptuousness" just now, his expression was not good-looking: "What do you think?"

he thinks?
Hearing these words, Li Yi subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the carriage. For a moment, he felt a sudden chill on his back, and bursts of cold sweat came out of his skin. Suddenly, what someone said once appeared in his heart——

The current emperor, because of his resentment towards the Supreme Emperor, has no intention of governing the country after taking over the throne.

There are still many rumors in the imperial city. The person who was expected to become the crown prince should be the eldest son of the Empress Dowager, King Yu. Later, the Supreme Emperor got into trouble, completely disregarding the courtiers' opposition, and insisted on passing the country to the fourth prince...

Therefore, the queen mother and the emperor should be deadly enemies.

The person in front of him who can mobilize the imperial guards, when he heard the word Queen Mother, had such an indifferent and disdainful attitude, obviously he didn't take the Queen Mother seriously at all.

So, he is the emperor's man?

The Ouchi imperial guards are the highest among all the troops in the imperial city. They have always only guarded the emperor and listened to the emperor's orders. At this time, the posture of these people is clearly someone who has just returned from the outside and can transfer the imperial guards out of the imperial city. , besides the emperor and the head of the imperial guards, who else could there be?

The escort in the carriage was obviously about to leave.

Li Yi's expression changed several times, and many emotions flashed in his eyes, but when he thought of the order he received in the morning, his heart suddenly felt hot and cold again.

The empress dowager's decree is not just to stop the emperor's car, is it?
So is their current behavior no different from conspiracy to commit treason?
"Open the city gate." Feng Wuhen repeated coldly, "I don't care who gave you the order, open the city gate immediately, and the imperial guards will guarantee your innocence. Otherwise, you'd better think about it , Is your future rich and honor important, or the life of your nine clans is more important!"

The future is rich and honorable, and the lives of the nine races.

Li Yi's heart sank, and his face turned pale again.

Feng Wuhen obviously didn't have that much patience to deal with him, so he raised his voice and shouted coldly: "The imperial guards obey the order! Anyone who resists and does not obey the order will be regarded as resisting the order and will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

The imposing manner was awe-inspiring, and the air of chilling and killing immediately filled the air.

Li Yi's face changed drastically, and the city guards behind him were also instantly shocked by the momentum of the imperial guards, and Qi Qi took a step back.

Feng Wuhen looked directly at Li Yi coldly and stopped talking, but the sharp murderous look in his eyes was enough to scare the city guards who had never been on the battlefield to their wits.

Li Yi couldn't bear the pressure, let alone the consequences of not obeying the order.

But he knew that he couldn't let this person be misunderstood, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"General." Not knowing the other party, Li Yi could only call him that, and his tone became more respectful in an instant, "Close and guard the city gate, following the Queen Mother's order, but the villain is just a small hundred households in the city guards. Chief, in addition to obeying the Queen Mother's order, there is also the order of the King of Side-by-Shoulders, the villain is only following orders, not being bribed..."

Shoulder to shoulder king?
When Feng Wuhen heard the words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, which disappeared for a moment, and then he glanced at him lightly, "Your name is Li Yi?"

"Uh, yes, the villain's name is Li Yi."

"I remember you, don't worry, no one will punish you." Feng Wuhen gave him a promise lightly, "Open the city gate."

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed in response, "Yes."

What Li Yi said is true. He is just a small head of a hundred households. He is not in the position of being rich and powerful, and he can't afford to bet on the lives of his whole family. As for why he was assigned to guard the city today, even he himself is a little dizzy .

The words passed down from above only said that the city is not safe and the whole city is under martial law.

The queen mother's edict must be obeyed, and the king's orders must be obeyed, but when the two are involved in bad things at the same time - for example, committing a crime...

Li Yi was so excited that he didn't dare to think about it any more.

It is enough for him to know that the biggest person in the world is the emperor.

Thinking of this, he turned around and ordered, "Open the city gate!"

The heavy city gate slowly opened, Feng Wuhen glanced at Li Yi, who was frightened, and rode his horse into the city.

However, at this moment, none of these guards, including Feng Wuhen, knew that the carriage they escorted was already empty...
