My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Chapter 139: Rescue in the Palace

The shopkeeper was so happy that he was smiling from ear to ear when he received the money.

In return, he asked the chef in the kitchen to prepare a delicious dinner for them.

When Ye Xingxin was about to go to bed after eating and drinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" she asked warily.

Zhang Liang was a little anxious: "Da Ya, it's me, I have something urgent to talk to you about."

Ye Xingxin got out of bed and opened the door: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Liang held in his hand the only notice that Rong Ping had just posted:

"Da Ya, Lord Xu, who was sent by the court, was abducted by the bandits to the Fanzhou Mountain Palace. More than 5,000 craftsmen who built the palace were also kidnapped by them. Now they have spread the word that Lord Rong and his daughter must commit suicide before midnight tonight to apologize, otherwise they will burn down the palace."

Zhang Liang said anxiously, "Da Ya, there are nearly 10,000 civilians in the palace. If it burns, the fire will spread to the village, and more than 10,000 people will die."

"The mountains and forests are damaged, and the sky is filled with dust and smoke. This will cause huge damage to Jianghe City for decades to come."

After hearing the news, Ye Xingxin was shocked by the brutality of those bandits. There are animals in the forest. Their actions not only killed people but also destroyed the environment. They must have been brainwashed by the Huang family.

but--

Ye Xingxin looked at Zhang Liang, whose beard was curling up with anxiety, and said in confusion: "This matter is indeed quite big, but why are you looking for me?"

Zhang Liang paused, and then continued, "The notice said that whoever could help Lord Rong to deal with those rioters would be given a thousand taels of gold by the emperor."

"I just thought that our dignified fighting ability is unmatched."

"So I want to discuss with you about letting Duanzhuang go to rescue people."

He pretended to be curious and tried to arouse Ye Xingxin's curiosity: "I have never seen the imperial palace, and I would like to take this opportunity to take a look at it and see what the emperor's residence looks like."

“Is there more priceless treasures inside?”

After Zhang Liang said this, Ye Shengxin remembered what Emperor Jingming had told her, that Huang Youwei had kept the treasures he had secretly exchanged from the palace in his residence.

I became interested at once.

"We have accepted the notice, but our dignity is our secret and cannot be exposed to the court officials. Who knows if they will get jealous and come to snatch it away."

"Those politicians are ruthless and have evil hearts!"

Ministers...

Xu Zhonghu looked at the ministers with a stern face and said, "Lord Ye has no confidence in us. When you go back later, you must reflect on your past actions and make corrections if necessary. Otherwise, if I find out, I will not hide it for you."

Ministers:…

Xu Zhong held a high official position, and many ministers bowed in response.

Prime Minister Shangguan was worried about the rebels, but he was even more worried that the emperor next door would follow suit after seeing this.

I just hope that Zhang Liang will finish his words and leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid being encountered and being dragged into trouble by Ye Shengxintulu.

On the sky screen, Zhang Liang nodded: "You are right, then..."

He pretended to think: "How about this, I'll take the notice to find Lord Rong, and you take Duanzhuang to the palace to rescue people."

"If you can knock out those bandits, you can just wait for us to come. If not, you can hide yourself when necessary and let Duanzhuang cooperate with us in the attack."

Ye Xingxin clapped his hands: "Deal."

The deal was done, and Zhang Liang hurried away with the notice.

Ye Shengxin went to the end of the room to find Cui Luoshan.

There was still a candle on in Cui Luoshan's room. He was studying military tactics under the guidance of Hao Duanzhuang. When he heard the knock on the door, he turned around and opened it.

Ye Xingxin went inside and told Zhang Liang about what she had just discussed, and finally looked at Hao Duanzhuang:

"Let's go there together."

Seeing Ye Shengxin turned around and left without any intention of taking him with him, Cui Luoshan became anxious: "Da Ya, you left me behind."

Ye Xingxin exclaimed, "Ah!" and patted his head to explain, "You and Xiaoya wait at the inn. I'll be back soon."

Cui Luoshan: "My second brother is in the palace, Dayu, I have to go for this matter."

"And are you sure that seesaw won't be comfortable for you to sit on alone?"

At first, everyone was not used to sitting on the high-altitude seesaw, and they were so excited by this thrilling game that their heads went numb.

Later, I found some fun in it and didn't let Hao Duanzhuang replace it.

Ye Shengxin thought about it and felt it was a bit strange that he was the only one holding down the seesaw for a long time without moving, so he agreed to take Cui Luoshan with him.

However, for the sake of a better experience, Emperor Jingming was directly blocked from going.

So when the two took off in the backyard in front of the big and small donkeys and the two ducks, the three little animals were stunned.

"Ah-uh."

"quack."

They cried out subconsciously.

Afterwards, fearing that Ye Shengxin and the others would abandon them again, they stepped on their hooves and paws, and chased after them with a clatter and a flutter.

When passing through the city gate, the three of them bumped into Zhang Liang and Rong Ping who were preparing to leave the city.

Rong Ping was stunned, then waved his hand in front of ten thousand soldiers and asked the guards to let them pass.

Watching their swaying backs as they walked away, Rong Ping said with emotion, "These days, ducks can ride on donkeys. They are indeed the animals raised by Lord Ye and His Majesty."

Zhang Liang:......

-

When Ye Xingxin and Cui Luoshan arrived at the palace on the Hao Duanzhuang version of the seesaw, they landed accurately on the roof of the largest courtyard, which was the only place with a few candles still on.

As soon as Hao Duanzhuang landed, leaving behind a little black mist, he went straight back into the mirror as if he had met his natural enemy.

Ye Xingxin felt strange and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Hao Duanzhuang: "This place makes me dizzy and nauseous. I feel like my ghost is going to disperse."

Ye Shengxin's expression became serious: "What's going on?"

Cui Luoshan was also worried about his teacher's condition and held the mirror tightly in his arms.

Hao Duanzhuang: "There is a formation here to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits. I can't stay here forever."

"You may be needed to help Lord Rong."

Ye Xingxin:!!!

Ye Xingxin was very self-aware and was shocked when he heard this:

"How can I do this? I am powerless, and for those well-trained secret guards, I would be a piece of cake."

"Besides, your black fog will soon dissipate. We are standing so conspicuously that we will be exposed sooner or later."

Ye Shengxin lived up to his reputation as a crow's mouth. Three seconds after he finished speaking, the black fog disappeared completely.

Hao Duanzhuang: ...

It could clearly hold on for another quarter of an hour, so how come it died?

When did his yin energy become so useless?

Ye Xingxin took a breath: "Does it have to be so sudden?"

"Chief, there's someone on the roof."

As soon as the black fog dissipated, the secret guards hiding in the dark immediately discovered Ye Shengxin and the other person and reported it immediately.

While Ye Shengxin was still confused, more than a dozen secret guards holding knives flew onto the roof in unison.

When the big knife was placed on her and Cui Luoshan's necks, Ye Shengxin was frightened and inexplicably thought of a sentence.

[——The big knife chopped at the devils’ heads.]

The ministers watching: …

Not to mention, the tone of these words is quite inspiring.

Who is this devil? Is he a ghost?

"Tell me, who sent you here? Was it the Marquis of Rongping?"

"This place is heavily guarded. How did you get in?"

Ye Shengxin and Cui Luoshan were tied to pillars in the house, next to them was a brazier with a red-hot iron on top.

The leader of the secret guards threateningly placed the branding iron a foot away from Ye Shengxin. The scorching heat from the iron reached Ye Shengxin's cheek, and she tried to shrink her neck back.

"Well, brother, let me answer the first question first."

"No one sent me here, nor was I the Marquis of Rongping. My brother and I came here on our own initiative because we are all tomb robbers."

"It was him and I who robbed the Zhang family's tomb before. The white mist in the tomb was also the masterpiece of me and my friend."

"The reason I came here is because the Huang family fell, and I know that there are many treasures in the palace built by the Huang family, so I want to make a fortune before Lord Rong comes."

"If you have doubts about our identities, I can tell you the details of the robbery of the Zhang family tomb."

"For example, Zhang Hongye's first wife's coffin was not placed in the reserved spot. My brother and I couldn't stand what Zhang Hongye did, so we found another place to bury her coffin."

"To ensure that what I said is true, I can tell you the new grave of his first wife. You can go and dig it up to verify it."

"The second question is, since we are tomb robbers, we must have some unorthodox methods to be on the safe side, so that we can sneak in."

After Ye Xingxin finished speaking, he did not forget to judge the attitude of the secret guard leader by observing his eyes.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see anything, so I had to give up.

The leader of the secret guards did not say whether he believed Ye Xingxin's words or not. He looked at the masked man in white next to him.

"Everything she said is true." The masked man in white fiddled with the array plate engraved with complex patterns in his hand, his voice hoarse and old.

Ye Xingxin:!!!

Cui Luoshan:!!!

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:! ! !

There are actually people who can judge the truth of other people’s words. This Huang family... Fortunately, they were sent away with a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Otherwise, if Your Majesty were to face the enemy head-on, there's no telling how many soldiers would be killed.

Ye Shengxin looked at the ancient version of the lie detector with lingering fear, screaming in her heart.

[Aaaaaaaah…Who said that the ancients lived a backward life? This damn thing they used is better than a modern lie detector.]

[Wuwuwu... Fortunately, I didn't lie just now, otherwise my life would be over. 】

They were not from the enemy forces. The leader of the secret guards was hesitating about how to deal with Ye Shengxin and the other two when he suddenly received news that there was movement outside.

His expression changed, he dropped the branding iron, picked up the knife and jumped out.

Many secret guards left his side at once, and Ye Shengxin relaxed. Only then did he have time to look around.

But when she raised her eyes, she saw the elegant young man tied to the pillar opposite.

The young man had a gentle and elegant face. Even though he had several ropes wrapped around his body, he did not look embarrassed at all. At this moment, he was looking at her with a complicated expression.

Ye Shengxin felt embarrassed being stared at, and inexplicably thought of an inappropriate question.

[This guy has been tied up for such a long time, wouldn't he feel suffocated if he didn't go to the toilet? ]

Xu Changyu: ...

It's Ye Shengxin as expected. She will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't speak ill of others.

Enduring the faint feeling in his abdomen, Xu Changyu inhaled and exhaled twice. Finally, with a smile on his face, he asked decisively and guidingly:

"Sir, these bandits are holding the people hostage. Do you think God will punish them with thunder or stab them to death?"

Ye Xingxin: ???

[No, this young man is so young, how can he be so vicious and unrealistic? ]

Xu Changyu: ...

Ministers:...

They were so anxious that they wondered if Ye Shengxin could stop imagining and answer the question quickly. Didn’t he know that this was a life-saving question?

Cui Luoshan stared at Xu Changyu, whose forehead was throbbing with veins, and frowned as he asked, "Da Ya, why don't you answer the question first?"

He is not stupid. After spending so much time together, he has a vague feeling from Daya's own mouth and the attitude of others that Daya is always right when it comes to bad things.

The attitude of the young man opposite was very straightforward. Thinking of Big Duck's amnesia, he understood that the young man in white must know her and Little Duck.

Otherwise he wouldn't know her so well, so he chose to help her out.

Under the sky, Zhao Zhentian's expression changed, and then he laughed out loud.

"This kid seems to be quiet, but isn't he stupid?"

The prince raised his lips slightly: "Luo Shan is extremely talented in military tactics, and he is naturally intelligent."

Zhao Zhentian was overjoyed when his apprentice was praised.

On the sky curtain, Xu Changyu glanced at this boy who was very sensible at the critical moment. He thought that he must have some brains to be chosen by General Zhao.

With his friends’ advice, Ye Xingxin naturally focused his attention on the problem.

She thought for a second, but since the guards who were responsible for guarding them had gone out like carrots, she answered without hesitation:

"Of course, it is thunder that punishes. This is the only way to show that God is determined to punish evildoers and eliminate evil."

"boom!"

Someone walked in. It was the masked man in white who was holding the ancient version of the lie detector.

As soon as he came in, his sinister eyes were fixed on Ye Shengxin.

A weird guy like him has some skills and premonition.

As soon as Ye Shengxin said this, he felt a sense of being locked from top to bottom.

The shadow of death loomed over him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, while the culprit was actually looking at him like an outsider.

The masked man in white was furious. Before the thunder came down, he formed his five fingers into claws and was about to reach Ye Shengxin's throat.

At the critical moment, a fluttering figure interrupted his attack.

The second duck, which had fought a fierce battle with the big and small donkeys outside, flew in from the door.

The powerful big fat wings flapped on the masked man's face, and the short yellow beak pecked at his eyes. The masked man in white was not prepared for this outrageous attack.

During the resistance, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

In this short period of time, thunder roared in the sky.

After confirming his guess, Cui Luoshan's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Erya, come here."

The second duck obeyed and flapped its wings to fly towards Cui Luoshan.

At the same time, hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky.

There were constant screams coming from inside and outside the palace.

There was a blinding flash of lightning, and when Ye Shengxin opened his eyes again, everything inside and outside was quiet.

The big and small donkeys walked in with powerful steps, looking at Ye Shengxin and the others with a pair of clear and stupid eyes, not understanding what was happening inside.

Cui Luoshan moved his body and said, "Big donkey, do us a favor and come over to help us bite the rope off. When we get back, I will buy you some good fodder."
