Chapter 1440 In Control
Although Cao Jixiang has been alienated by Zhu Qiyu, he still has the status of an admiral of the East Factory, and there are still some cronies in the imperial city.When Master Xi, Situ Hansong, and Liu Shengwujian pretended to be his followers and came outside the imperial city with him, they entered the imperial city with little effort.

In fact, with the skills of Master Xi, Situ Hansong, and Liu Shengwujian, without Cao Jixiang leading the way, they could sneak into the imperial city without anyone noticing.It's just that in the past two months, many masters have come to Ouchi, not to mention that Miyagi's security has reached the point of watertightness, and even the imperial city is full of checkpoints, and it is unknown how many masters are lurking in the dark.Therefore, they chose to be cautious.

The place where the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen lives is called Nangong. Nangong is located in the imperial city, outside the palace city, and is located in the southeast corner of the palace city. It is probably located at the current Pudu Temple in BJ.

Cao Jixiang was very familiar with the imperial city. When he approached Nangong with Master Xi, Situ Hansong, and Liu Shengwujian, he had already discovered that there were more than 30 people hidden in the vicinity of Nangong.There were many big trees inside and outside Nangong, but Zhu Qiyu was afraid that a group of old ministers in Zhu Qizhen would invite people from the martial arts to come to Nangong to conspire with Zhu Qizhen, so he pulled out some of these big trees long ago, and cut down the short ones. , with an unobstructed view of the surrounding environment.

The reason why Cao Jixiang didn't dare to come to see Zhu Qizhen alone was for this reason. He didn't know what kind of master Zhu Qiyu had sent to lurk outside the Nangong Palace. After seeing the signs, I am afraid that Zhu Qiyu will be alert to the area of ​​Nangong, and the number of lurking masters will increase several times. It will be even more difficult to get into Nangong.

After Master Xi gave the three of them a few instructions using the technique of transmitting sound into secrets, the four of them dispersed like ghosts. In an instant, the sleepy acupuncture points of more than 30 people were tapped.

Master Xi restrained ten people, Situ Hansong restrained nine people, and Liu Sheng Wujian also restrained nine people.As for Cao Jixiang, because Master Xi didn't know how high his martial arts were, he only allowed him to restrain five. In fact, Cao Jixiang thought he could restrain at least eight.

As soon as the lurking person was restrained, Cao Jixiang was completely relieved. He came outside the Nangong Palace, turned around and entered the palace.A few years ago, Cao Jixiang accompanied Zhu Qiyu to Nangong to visit Zhu Qizhen, so he knew where Zhu Qizhen's dormitory was.

There were a few maids and eunuchs serving in the Nangong, but they all lived in the other corner of the Nangong, and they had already slept like dead pigs. Not to mention that Cao Jixiang came in with lightness kung fu, even if the footsteps were a little louder, They can't hear either.

When he arrived outside Zhu Qizhen's dormitory, Cao Jixiang took a deep breath and went up to knock on the door.

"who is it?"

The person who spoke was not Zhu Qizhen, because it was a woman's voice.Cao Jixiang was too familiar with this woman's voice, because she was Empress Qian, his former master.

"Old slave Cao Jixiang, come to kowtow to the Emperor Taishang and Empress Dowager Qian."

The room was silent for a while, and suddenly a man's voice was heard saying calmly: "Cao Jixiang, what's the matter for you to come here late at night to see me?"

Cao Jixiang listened to the voice, how could he fail to hear Zhu Qizhen's indifference towards him.It's no wonder that since Zhu Qizhen was placed under house arrest here, his life has been very difficult, and how many of the former ministers of the past have come to visit him?No matter who it is, they will feel the coldness of the world and see through everything.

Cao Jixiang knelt down with a "plop", and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, this old servant is late."

Now Zhu Qizhen has matured a lot. The panic after being captured, the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and the cold reception of the capital, these kinds of encounters are enough to give anyone the conditions for maturity.

"Bold, I am the Supreme Emperor now, why do you call me the Emperor?" Zhu Qizhen shouted in the room.

Of course Cao Jixiang understood why Zhu Qizhen asked such a question, he was worried that he was sent by Zhu Qiyu to test him.

Back then, Zhu Qizhen accidentally gave a golden knife to an old eunuch who was waiting for him.This matter was discovered by a deputy commander of Jin Yiwei named Lu Zhong, who informed Zhu Qiyu.Zhu Qiyu wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhu Qizhen's future troubles, so he secretly instructed Lu Zhong to be in charge of torturing the old eunuch, asking him to slander Zhu Qizhen for plotting restoration. Fortunately, the old eunuch was very loyal to Zhu Qizhen. It was very hard, and he didn't even say that his head was beheaded.Zhu Qizhen still had lingering fears about this false alarm.

"Your Majesty, although you are currently the Supreme Emperor, in the heart of this old slave, you have always been the Emperor, the Son of Heaven who has always favored this old slave. This old slave has pretended to submit to the current emperor all these years. It is that one day the emperor will be able to take the emperor out from here and regain control of the world. Now the opportunity has come, I hope the emperor will let the old slave face it for the sake of the old slave's loyalty." Cao Jixiang's words were sincere , very moving.

After a while, the door was opened with a "squeak", and Zhu Qizhen appeared in Cao Jixiang's sight wearing a yellow coat.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Jixiang called out, and kowtowed three times to Zhu Qizhen respectfully.

……

After a bowl of tea, Cao Jixiang retreated from the bedroom and closed the door behind his back.With a stretch of his figure, he flew over the palace, over the high wall, and landed outside the Nangong Palace.

After meeting Master Xi, Situ Hansong, and Liu Sheng Wujian, Cao Jixiang didn't speak, but just nodded his head, indicating that Zhu Qizhen had agreed.

Cao Jixiang thought that the matter was over, so he asked the three of them and himself to untie the sleeping points of the 30 people, and then left quietly.

Master Xi said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, Eunuch Cao, please go in again."

Cao Jixiang was stunned and said, "Why?"

Situ Hansong smiled and said, "This time, Eunuch Cao is not going in alone, but I and Guardian Wujian will accompany you in."

Cao Jixiang thought about it, and if he realized something, he immediately went in with Situ Hansong and Liu Shengwujian.Not long after, Cao Jixiang came out alone.

Master Xi asked, "Has everything been arranged?"

Cao Jixiang said: "It's all arranged."

Master Xi smiled and said, "Well, Eunuch Cao, you can go, and leave the rest to me alone."

Cao Jixiang was secretly surprised, he didn't know how he could deal with those 30 people by himself, but since he possessed secret techniques and presumably had unique techniques, he didn't have to be polite and turned around to him.

……

After half a bowl of tea, Master Xi left the imperial city without anyone noticing.Two hours later, Master Xi returned to the main altar of Zhengtian Sect.In a secret room in the main altar, Dugu Jiutian is waiting for him.

"Master Xi, is everything going well?"

"Leader, everything is under your control."

"That's fine."

"Leader, if you hand over the power of action this time to that scribe Xu Youzhen, aren't you afraid that he will suddenly become frightened and spoil the plan?"

"Master Xi, you have to know that not all people with good brains are our martial arts practitioners. Xu Youzhen suggested moving south, but you probably don't know that he is not the only one who suggested moving south, but he was too young at the time. If you want to be successful, you will be the first to stand up. If it wasn't for Yu Qian's weird temper and reprimanded him, I'm afraid he would have really moved south at that time. Xu Youzhen is a capable person. With the lessons learned from the past, I believe he will definitely I will be cautious at every step."

"Leader, do we really only send some of our people to infiltrate the guard camp, and leave the rest on hold? Wouldn't this be a bit underestimating the enemy?"

"Hehe, with so many of us, once we take action, Zhu Qiyu will definitely be aware of it. Only a part of us are sent out to keep the action more secret. Besides, I have already arranged the third move, and even the fourth move. The chess has also been arranged. Zhu Qiyu wants to fight against the leader of the alliance, but he is still a little tender."
