Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 703: Response, Appearance

"Miss!"

Outside the Guanjun Marquis's mansion, the lights were on. Hearing some noise behind the door, the gatekeeper turned around and saw Cailuan and Miaoyu coming together.

This was the name they used in the Nine Frontiers. These men were terrified from the bottom of their hearts about this poisonous woman who could kill people thousands of miles away with one strike.

After all, no one knows whether the food they eat has been tampered with by others.

It was at that time that Cai Luan, the poison master, was given the title of Miss by those rough men. Because calling her Madam was inappropriate, they did not dare to call her that before Jia Hong spoke, and this habit has continued to this day.

In a secret room in the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion, Taoist Miaomiao curled his lips and looked a little cold, as if he was watching a farce.

"Someone from the palace is here?"

When Prince Dongping saw the Taoist's expression, he narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Ah."

Taoist Miaomiao nodded. He expected that the palace would send someone over. He had been playing around in the secular world for many years and saw clearly the poison of power. No matter how much a person in power trusts his subjects, this kind of rebellious behavior is a red line, a red line that cannot be crossed.

"Old Immortal, there is something I have always been very curious about. Logically speaking, for someone like you, the worldly power should not look down upon you, right?"

He had already witnessed the magical powers of Taoist Miaomiao. He didn't understand why such an accomplished Taoist would want to get involved in worldly disputes.

"Hehe, you guessed right. I really don't care about your worldly power."

Miaomiao chuckled, her voice a little hoarse, and her throat sounded like the friction of tree bark, extremely harsh, but from the content of her words, it seemed that the other party was not worried about exposing his thoughts at all.

"It's just that there are some things that I can't do!"

After saying this, Taoist Miaomiao raised his head again and looked towards the direction of the gate of Marquis Guanjun's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, King Dongping's eyes moved slightly. He was not sure what the old Taoist priest in front of him wanted, but it did not prevent him from suppressing another thought that arose in his mind.

If he could get the other party's help, he might have a chance to make a comeback, or even ascend to the throne and become the emperor of the world.

For others, assassinating the emperor might be difficult, but for the other party, such a thing is just a piece of cake.

"Old Immortal."

Prince Dongping opened his mouth again and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Miaomiao.

"Don't be wishful thinking. The opportunity has been given to you before, but now that things have come to this, it means that destiny is not in your hands. It is useless to force it."

Taoist Miaomiao glanced at King Dongping. To him, King Dongping at this moment was no different from those mortals outside. If he did not think that the other party's identity was still useful, he would have let the other party fend for himself long ago.

When King Dongping heard this, he clenched his hands. Destiny, since ancient times, has not been determined by the final winner. If he breaks into the capital today, does that mean the destiny is still with him?

Looking at the not very tall figure beside him, King Dongping hesitated again and again but finally did not speak again. He had already experienced the methods of this extremely sloppy-looking old Taoist priest when they first met. The soldiers who rushed into the big tent to guard that day were directly beaten into a bloody mist. In the eyes of the other party, human life was cheap and even worse than that of an ant.

Seeing that the other party had stopped talking, Taoist Miaomiao sneered in his heart. The other party's life was in his hands. If the other party did not intend to cooperate, he did not mind telling him to shut up. Anyway, for him, all he wanted was a result. "Greetings, General. I wonder what the general is here for in the middle of the night?"

Wu Kuang was a little surprised to see that the visitors were two girls. After Jia Hong's disappearance, the Marquis' Mansion had been very low-key. In addition, during this special period, the imperial court did not want to cause any more trouble, so they turned a blind eye to the Marquis' Mansion and everything was peaceful.

"Can you make the decision?"

Wu Kuang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Cai Luan smiled softly when she heard this.

"Are you joking, General?"

Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes. The woman in front of him was not afraid at all in the face of such a scene. She was even able to chat and laugh. She was much better than those ministers.

"My lady, I respect this place as the Marquis' Mansion, which is why I have been patient until now. Today, I have the emperor's order. If the Marquis' Mansion continues to hinder me without reason, don't blame me for being rude."

Cai Luan stood there, her expression calm, not angry. When she came out, she had already discussed with Miaoyu to delay as long as possible. Jia Hong was in the Duke's Mansion and should be able to sense the situation here.

As for this accident, whether to advance or retreat, we still have to listen to Jia Hong's opinion.

"The general also knows that this is the Guanjun Marquis's residence. I thought the general didn't know it?"

"It's only been two hours since the battle of Prince Dongping ended. Who won this battle? The common people outside don't know, and the general doesn't know either? The battlefield hasn't been cleaned up yet, right? You sent troops to surround the Marquis's mansion. Do you think this is the palace's intention?"

Miaoyu stood aside and nodded slightly.

Cailuan has a fiery temper, but she did not lose her composure and start swearing. Instead, she spoke reasonably and hit the nail on the head, which was quite good.

Wu Kuang sat on the horse, speechless for a moment.

Cai Luan was right. The Marquis of Guanjun contributed the most to the defeat of Prince Dongping. It was still night and the news of the victory had not yet spread. The big families in the capital might not know about it yet, but as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, he knew these things.

When he first received the secret decree, he was also confused. The Prince of Dongping was with the Marquis of Guanjun? The Marquis of Guanjun was in collusion with the Prince of Dongping?

If the Marquis of Guanjun really had collusion with that vassal king, why would the Marquis of Guanjun send out the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to fight the other side? Why not wait for the other side to enter the capital, and then reap the benefits.

There is another suspicious point. The Prince of Dongping died at the hands of Marquis Guanjun Jia Hong. No matter what, it is impossible for the Prince of Dongping to form an alliance with his enemy.

"I don't know what happened. I only have respect for the Marquis, but today I will act according to the order. I have no choice. The emperor has ordered that the Marquis's mansion be searched. I hope the young lady will forgive me."

"If you insist on stopping me, I will not force the door open, but if you disobey my order, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"

Cai Luan was shocked when she heard this.

  What does Emperor Kang of Ming mean? What does this old emperor want to do?

Just as Cai Luan was hesitating, a breath of air rose quietly outside the capital. Taoist Miaomiao, who was waiting in the Marquis' Mansion, suddenly opened his eyes. He licked the corners of his dry mouth and grinned.

"Got you."
