Chapter 781 The whole family is a rebel (65)

"General Shi, have you caught the person?"

The emperor's attendant arrived later than Shi Ming. He looked around and did not see Jin Yan and his brother, so he began to question Shi Ming.

Shi Ming was surprised when he heard this, "Catch?"

The attendant held his neck high, squinting at Shi Ming, who was two or three times taller than him. After feeling the inexplicable pressure, he slightly restrained his superior aura and said in a pinched voice, "What else? The North has rebelled. Do we still need to ask them to please?"

Shi Ming immediately scolded: "The Northland rebelled? What evidence do you have?"

The attendant snorted coldly and looked in the direction of the rising smoke in the distance. "General, do you know that the rebels in the north attacked your majesty's guards last night, causing half of the guards to die in the sea of ​​fire. How dare the north do this under the feet of the emperor? If this is not rebellion, what is it?"

Shi Ming's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart.

It only said that your Majesty's guards were attacked by rebels, but did not mention at all how the guards, who were supposed to be guarding your Majesty, appeared in the abandoned palace in the middle of the night, or what unspeakable deeds they had done. Do you really think that everyone in the world is blind and deaf?

The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and things harm its kind.

This time it’s the King of the North, who will it be next time?

him?

His achievements are not even half of those of the King of the North and the general. What will be his end?
Before Shi Ming could sigh, the attendant urged him again, "Don't delay any longer, His Majesty is still waiting. The general has so many people, it's impossible that he can't even catch two sick children, right?"

Shi Ming ignored his sarcasm and arranged the staff slowly. After everyone was in place, he said to the woman next to him: "You go in with my personal guards. Remember, you must invite the princess out properly!"

The attendants began to shout again, "What do you mean by 'please'? The North has rebelled, there is no princess anymore!"

After that, he suggested to Shi Ming: "I heard that the daughter of the Xiao family is kind and generous, and often gives food to the neighbors to win their hearts and use it to do illegal things. General, listen to me, we should quickly arrest everyone on this street and hand them over to the court for interrogation one by one. Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of some traitors!"

Without waiting for Shi Ming to refute, he continued: "As long as we torture those unruly people severely, we will definitely be able to find useful information... However, when Your Majesty rewards people for their contributions, I hope the general will not forget my contribution!"

He was already fantasizing about the great wealth and glory in the future, but he didn't notice that Shi Ming's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

These people deserve to die!

This situation also reminded Shi Ming of another thing.

Princess Jinyang had a strong character and decisive methods, which was known to everyone in the court. Therefore, when the emperor's attendants disappeared in the north and then heard the news that they had been killed by Princess Jinyang, no one in the court was surprised at all.

That's Princess Jinyang.

When she was provoked, she even scolded the emperor to his face. What's wrong with beating and killing a close attendant?
Now, looking at the disgusting and ugly face of the emperor's attendant beside him, Shi Ming almost couldn't help but want to draw his sword.

They were wrong.

It's not that Princess Jinyang is cruel and bloodthirsty, it's just that these servants are taking advantage of the power of their masters and do not behave like human beings. They truly deserve to be put to death!

Pity.

Shi Ming was filled with regret. He couldn't do it in front of everyone today.

Just then, his ears twitched and his brows furrowed.

what sound?
Before he turned around, he heard someone screaming and falling down.

Looking at the emperor's attendant with an arrow in his forehead, Shi Ming, who had not been to a battle for a long time, finally remembered. This was the sound he was most familiar with, the sound of a sharp arrow cutting through the air.

murderous look.

At this moment, Shi Ming seemed to have returned to his battlefield.

However, the sudden accident did not give him much time to reminisce about the past, as a barrage of arrows were already shot at them.

When the sharp crossbow arrow hit his shoulder, a thought flashed through Shi Ming's mind. Did the North really rebel?
……

When the news that "Shi Ming was seriously injured" and "the two sons of the Xiao family were missing" reached the palace, the emperor was waiting for the sorcerer's divination.

What are you fortune-telling about?

Naturally, it is the whereabouts of the King of the North.

In order to kill Xiao Sui, he carefully planned a siege. Although half of the elite Langwei Army paid their lives for this, fortunately, Xiao Sui's body was found in the end.

A corpse that was pierced by thousands of arrows during life and then burned beyond recognition after death.

Judging from the characteristics of the corpse and the relics, the owner of the body was Xiao Sui, the King of Beidi. Xiao Sui's former personal guards also personally checked and confirmed this, but the emperor was somewhat skeptical.

He hoped that Xiao Sui was dead, but what if?
Therefore, after the confirmation of Lang Wei who participated in the siege, the affirmation of Xiao Sui's personal guards and the examination of the coroner, the emperor still did not believe that Xiao Sui was really dead, so he summoned the sorcerer and asked him to tell fortunes for him.

If the sorcerer said that Xiao Sui was still alive, he would find Xiao Sui even if he had to search the entire world.

The body was torn into pieces by five horses and the bones were ground into dust.

The sorcerer was still skipping rope on the astrologer's tower, but the attendants outside were getting so anxious that they were about to jump up and down.

A quarter of an hour later.

The sorcerer stopped and no one knew what he said to the emperor's attendants, but soon the emperor's hearty and heroic laughter was heard in the Astrology Tower.

Hearing this, the messenger outside breathed a sigh of relief and once again requested the guards to tell the emperor the news that Shi Ming and his group had been attacked and that the Beidi Palace was deserted.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the emperor's first words were to ask Lang Wei to take him away.

Not only him, but also the people who were delivering the message with him were the same.

The attendants turned pale in an instant and begged repeatedly.

"The servant is wronged!"

"It was General Shi. He colluded with the Northland, disobeyed Your Majesty's orders, and deliberately let the traitors escape!"

"Your Majesty, they are all lying to you—"

The begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look any further.

The emperor left the Astrology Tower with a gloomy face.

As soon as he left, a team of palace slaves came forward. Some dragged the corpse, while others wiped the blood. Soon, there was no trace of blood in the Astrology Tower.

On the other side, the emperor came to the seriously injured Shi Ming.

Shi Ming, covered in blood, was lying on a door panel, his face pale as hell. He was stabbed by three arrows and several knives, with wounds all over his body. The most dangerous arrow had pierced his heart.

The emperor looked down at him, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Shi Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw the emperor's eyes from the corner of his eye, he felt extremely sad.

He is almost half dead, but His Majesty still doubts his loyalty. Should he be grateful for His Majesty's appreciation of him, or should he feel sad for those who, like him, risked their lives for His Majesty and Daxia?
"Your Majesty, I am guilty..."

"You are guilty of a crime. You colluded with the Northland and let the bandits escape. You deserve to die!"

Shi Ming suddenly closed his eyes.

finally come.
