Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 622 Dai Quan broke into the imperial study at night, Emperor Mingkang wanted to find out the truth

“Dai Quan, what’s going on??”

A full moon hung high in the sky, and in the slightly cold Daming Palace, Dai Quan looked a little panicked. He pushed open the door of the imperial study, came to a bed and called out to the emperor in a low voice.

Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty woke up after hearing Dai Quan's words.

Under the dim candlelight, Emperor Mingkang's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. It was rare for him to have time to rest during this period. Whether it was the vassal king making trouble or the careless princes, he could not calm down and sleep comfortably. .

"Your Majesty, the news just came from the secret guard, the Taoist priest is back..."

As the largest force in the capital, the secret guards are far more informed than imagined.

After Emperor Mingkang heard the news, he said nothing and closed his eyes again.

The room fell into silence, and Dai Quan stood there, taking a deep breath, motionless, like a clay sculpture.

As the emperor's personal eunuch, he naturally knew his master very well.

The previous emperor had a fiery personality, and when faced with such a thing, he might immediately become angry and angry, but this was not the case with Emperor Mingkang. The calmer he was, the more furious he became.

Beneath the calm, deep pool is a stormy wave that can destroy everything.

"I remember that he was among the two people who showed up when Jia Qi left Beijing, right??"

Suddenly, Emperor Mingkang spoke.

Dai Quan cupped his hand and quickly replied: "Back to the emperor, when the champion disappeared, it was a monk who came, but this time, it is only the Taoist priest."

Emperor Mingkang was lying on the couch, lying on his side. He said "um" and said nothing more.

Even Dai Quan could feel that Jia Qi's disappearance must be related to this mysterious Taoist priest, not to mention the thoughtful Emperor Mingkang.

"Is there any movement in the Hou Mansion recently?"

Just when Dai Quan was a little drowsy, Emperor Mingkang's words rang out again, making Dai Quan involuntarily shudder.

After all, it is already late at night, which is when a person is sleepy, and the room in the imperial study is neither cold nor hot, so it is easy to fall asleep~

"Going back to the emperor, there hasn't been much movement in the Hou Mansion recently. It's the same as before."

During the period when Jia Qi left, the Hou Mansion basically remained unchanged. The most lively time was only when Yuanchun was conferred the title of concubine. The Hou Mansion provided some help, and most of the time it was at night, so most people didn't. have witnessed.

“Where’s the Jia Mansion??”

In the capital, there are not many places related to Jia Qi. There is one Marquis Mansion where he lives, and the other one is Jia Mansion.

Dai Quan frowned, feeling suddenly confused. At this time, why did Emperor Mingkang ask these questions? ?

What's going on in the Hou's and Jia's houses, and what does it have to do with this old Taoist priest? ?

The place where this old Taoist appeared was the residence of the fifth prince, and if this old Taoist was really related to Jia Qi's disappearance, wouldn't it mean that the fifth prince was the real culprit behind Jia Qi's disappearance.

Although he started to think wildly in his mind, Dai Quan's reaction was still not slow. He spoke out again: "Since the incident with the imperial concubine happened in Jia's house, the old lady in the house fell ill. She must have been frightened. "The imperial doctor from the imperial hospital has gone to see him twice." "Then, County Master Jia seems to have been infected with the cold and has not recovered. He was also frightened by the assassination of the imperial concubine, so the imperial doctor also went to see him."

Emperor Mingkang didn't know if he heard Dai Quan's words, but he didn't say a word.

The imperial study became calm again, and only the sound of Emperor Mingkang's unhurried breathing was left. After about a cup of tea, Emperor Mingkang suddenly said: "Xu Yuantu~~"

A man walked out of the darkness, it was the leader of the secret guards. In fact, when Dai Quan pushed the door open and walked in, the leader of the secret guards had already woken up.

As people who practice martial arts, their five senses are very sharp and they will wake up at the slightest disturbance. That was already a big move just now.

"Wei Chen is here!"

"Send someone to check out the Taoist priest. If he can be captured alive, he will be captured alive. If he cannot be captured alive, he will be killed without mercy."

Emperor Mingkang's words did not bring much fluctuation. After he investigated Jia Qi's identity, he had always had high hopes for him and even had some other ideas. But now that something like this happened, speaking of it, he It's not that it's not sentimental at all.

At least he is not a cold-blooded person, but because of his position, he cannot expose his emotions.

As a king, once your thoughts are known to your ministers, it is a very dangerous thing. Some people may do what they want, and some may beat the snake and follow the stick. It will cause irreparable impact on the country.

"Your Majesty, the Taoist Wei Chen has heard from his subordinates that this person may not be an ordinary person. The strength of Wei Chen and the secret guards in the capital alone may not be enough. If possible, Wei Chen would like to borrow two hundred divine fire guards. "

Xu Yuantu did not accept the order immediately. He had also heard about the old trick Dai Quan mentioned. That kind of method was beyond the scope of ordinary people. Even a master like him would not have a good chance of winning once they faced each other. big.

Although he couldn't confirm whether it was true or false at the moment, he didn't want to gamble. After all, he was receiving an imperial edict. If things went wrong, he would be the one to face Thunder's wrath in the end.

So he planned to borrow some people from Emperor Mingkang.

The Divine Fire Guards, to put it bluntly, are actually a group of guards equipped with thunderbolts. Their original combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of the Royal Forest Army in the palace. Compared with the secret guards, they are actually a little behind. But a very important point is that these people are equipped with thunderbolts. Thunderball.

He had seen the power of those things before. The five hundred divine fire guards had at least two hundred thunderbolts. Such firepower was enough to burn the entire prince's palace to the ground.

"How can the person who can make the champion disappear be an ordinary person? I naturally understand this. I can agree to your request, but I also warn you that the noise caused by the Thunderbolt bomb is too great. Unless it is absolutely necessary, remember not to do it. Use it.”

"The capital has just calmed down, I don't want to cause more trouble."

Xu Yuantu nodded slightly when he heard Emperor Mingkang's words. He could guess some of his master's thoughts. The other party was right. The capital had just quieted down, and some people were still panicking. If there was any commotion at this time, Too many, and I'm afraid people's hearts will get out of control. When there is a riot in the capital, the biggest victim will be the entire court.

"Wei Chen understands, Wei Chen accepts the order."

Xu Yuantu followed the order and retreated. After a while, Emperor Mingkang raised his arm and waved twice.

"Dai Quan, go down first!"

"By the way, when it gets dark, go to Kunning Palace and tell the queen to sit with Concubine Jia."

"According to the order."
