Chapter 305 Unusual

The Imperial Capital of Apocalypse, the cell of Dali Temple.

At this moment, there are densely packed people squatting in each cell.

Liu Zigao, Minister of Dali Temple, stared at the overcrowded prison cell with no joy in his eyes!Then he turned and left the cell.

Zhao Shan, a follower at the side, asked suspiciously: "Master, this time we smashed five hidden stakes and captured a total of 110 five Da Yue Xizuo. This is a great achievement! Why are you still so sad?"

Hearing this, Liu Zigao, Minister of Dali Temple, shook his head and said, "It's because I catch too many at once, so I'm worried!"

"Ah!" Zhao Shan was even more confused: "My lord, what do you mean?"

The worry in Liu Zigao's eyes remained undiminished, and he asked, "Zhao Shan, is the eyeliner okay?"

"No problem!" Zhao Shan nodded and said, "My lord, he also sent us news before. Moreover, in the past, we also relied on these eyeliners to catch these spies from other countries. In the past, you were not so worried!"

However, Liu Zigao shook his head, and said solemnly: "Zhao Shan, order me down, don't tell anyone about this arrest for the time being. I'll make a decision after I figure it out."

Zhao Shan was puzzled, but still nodded in response: "Yes, my lord, this subordinate understands."

The worry in Liu Zigao's eyes did not diminish, and he asked, "Did you find the eyeliner?"

Zhao Shan hurriedly replied: "I have already sent someone to look for it, but there is no news yet. My lord, please wait a little longer."

Liu Zigao's mind wandered, he nodded in response: "Yes, good."

After a while, the yamen servant who was sent to find someone hurried in, bowed and said back: "Master Liu, the eyeliner who sent the news has left the residence, and we haven't found anyone."

"What!" Dali Temple Minister Liu Zigao was shocked for a moment: "Do you know where you went?"

The yamen servant hurriedly replied: "I don't know. I asked the neighbors, and I heard that he packed up his things and left last night, but I don't know where he went."

Zhao Shan hurriedly said: "My lord, these informants will also choose to leave for a period of time for their own safety after sending out the news."

"What's more, the news is so big this time, and we have arrested so many people. It is normal for him to leave after receiving the reward last night."

Hearing this, Liu Zigao's eyes darkened instantly, and the worry in his eyes deepened, and he said in a moment: "You send someone to pay attention, and bring them here as soon as they come back."

"Yes, my lord." The yamen servant just took the order to go down.

Zhao Shan asked suspiciously, "My lord, what are you worried about?"

But Liu Zigao shook his head and said: "Forget it, you go to work first, I'll think about it later."

"Yes, my lord." Zhao Shan was puzzled, but he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After writing the case, Liu Zigao looked at the memorial in his hand. It was a memorial that recorded the detailed work of Da Yue, but his brows were furrowed. Even more so than neighboring countries.

In the past, the most that could be caught was a dozen or so detailed operations.But this time, they caught so many at once, which is unusual!At this time, can it be reported to the court?

After a while, Liu Zigao picked up the memorial, got up and left Dali Temple.

The imperial capital of Apocalypse, Nangong Chu's private residence.

In the study, Zhou Tai showed a distressed expression, and bowed back to report: "My lord, I heard about it. The person who captured the empress dowager's hidden stake last night was not from Xiao Jinxi and Mo Yi, but from Dali Temple."

"Dali Temple!" Nangong Chu was shocked, and then his eyes darkened: "Oh... Mo Yi, Xiao Jinxi, you actually use people from Dali Temple! You are going to cleanse yourself!"

Zhou Tai worried: "My lord, Dali Temple has intervened. Will Emperor Mingxi find out that we did it?"

Nangong Chu smiled: "No, they must have used some method to get people from Dali Temple to intervene. But they should not reveal their identities."

Zhou Tai showed embarrassment: "My lord, even if Emperor Mingxi doesn't know. But so many people have been arrested by Dali Temple, the Queen Mother will definitely receive the news, and she will definitely think of us."

Nangong Chu's eyes darkened, and his voice turned cold: "This is Xiao Jinxi and Mo Yi's idea! We have separated this matter from ourselves, and did not expose our strength. It also made the Queen Mother suspect us! Because in Dayue, there is such a We are the only ones who stand against the Empress Dowager without ordinary abilities."

"Heh... Mo Yi, Xiao Jinxi, you guys put me together again! Okay, I don't care about you. The premise is that you can help me get the blood jade! Otherwise!"

Zhou Tai worried: "My lord, do you want to go back to Dayue first? It's always not safe here."

"Well, it's time to go back." Nangong Chu's face darkened, nodded and said: "I wanted to wait for the news of the blood jade to come back before returning to Dayue. But once this happened, the queen mother would soon suspect that the king is not in Dayue. .Now, I have to go back."

Then the voice turned cold: "Zhou Tai, send a message to Xiao Jinxi. If you promise me, remember to get it for me! Otherwise, I don't mind letting Tianqi, Dayue and me be buried with me!"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will deliver the message immediately." Zhou Tai hurriedly took orders.

Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Wei Mo appeared in Nuan Pavilion, bowed and said back: "Master, Nangong Chu has left. This is a letter from him."

"Oh, let's go." Xiao Jinxi took the letter, opened it, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Heh... this Nangong Chu is threatening me."

Wei Mo worried: "Master, Nangong Chu left and came back last time. Did he really leave this time?"

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said: "Now it seems that he should have left. The blood jade is so important to Nangong Chu, but he went back so quickly."

"It seems that the situation in Dayue is not optimistic now, and Nangong Chu is also worried. That's why Nangong Chu returned to Dayue so soon after the Dali Temple incident happened. If he doesn't go back to stabilize the situation, Dayue's power is gone. He But I don’t have the capital to talk to Emperor Ming Xi.”

Wei Mo instantly understood: "Master, Nangong Chu is betting on both sides. He neither believes in Emperor Mingxi nor dares to count on us."

Xiao Jinxi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Naturally. It's good for him to leave now. Come back next time, but it won't be so easy to leave."

Then he asked: "How is Dali Temple Minister Liu Zigao now?"

Wei Mo replied with a smile: "After Liu Zigao left Dali Temple, he returned to his residence and did not enter the palace today. Prime Minister Jiang sent a letter saying that Zhongshu Pavilion has not received the memorial from Dali Temple."

"Oh." Xiao Jinxi smiled: "That's good. It seems that this Liu Zigao is indeed smart, and he is not a person who is greedy for merit. He must have seen something unusual."

Wei Mo asked: "Master, what will Liu Zigao do next?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled: "Liu Zigao has a good heart. Now he just didn't understand what was unusual in it, so he didn't dare to report it to the court rashly. He just needs to find an excuse to delay it for a few days. As long as there is no more abnormality, he will It will be reported."

"And there is Prince Yu here, even if he wants to report at this time, Prince Yu will definitely have a way to stop him."

Wei Mo instantly understood: "That's why the master asked Ma Cheng to create chaos in the imperial capital last night, just to cover up the arrest of Dali Temple. Now even if Liu Zigao drags on for a few days, Ming Xi Emperor will not know."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and smiled: "That's right, a few days is enough. As long as Emperor Mingxi doesn't know, he won't doubt it, and he will leave this imperial capital with peace of mind."

Wei Mo smiled: "Master is wise."
