Chapter 177: Capture the traitor

Chapter 177: Capture the traitor
I don't know if Wan Li's voice summoned Yan Wuxie and the Imperial Army, but it alerted the Shengzhou Guard.

At the foot of the imperial city, fully armed Beijing troops came out.

As everyone knows, Yaozhou has been recaptured, Beiqiu has surrendered, and Dayin's military guards have returned to the court. They will be able to reach Kyoto today. Therefore, the streets are crowded with people, and the excitement is even more lively than when the newly crowned champion is parading through the streets.

People ranging from those in their seventies to those with blond hair are all vying for a good position just to catch a glimpse of the general.

There were also a few old women carrying bamboo baskets filled with rotten vegetable leaves, which they specially took to throw away to the Third Prince of Beiqiu later. Who asked them to occupy people's land!
There were also old men carrying swill buckets, waiting to splash them. The common people didn't know, they only thought that after Beiqiu attacked Dayin, the new emperor suffered a defeat and became fatuous. Although the emperor has become better now, he made them suffer for a long time before, and this hatred is all blamed on the third prince!
People were coming and going in the bustling long street. The killer rushed straight into the crowd to shake off her tail, but her outfit was too conspicuous, so she could only turn left and right to avoid the pursuers. Rong Cen was tossed around like a sandbag. Extremely uncomfortable.

Cheng Xin chased them very closely, just three to five people away from them.

"There is a thief! Catch the thief! What a bold thief! In broad daylight, he grabbed my purse from my waist and dared to kidnap my young master!"

Cheng Xin was very clever, and with a shout of "catching a thief", the black mass surrounding the killer's head scattered in all directions, leaving a clear space, and the target was completely exposed in front of him.

He was about to catch him, only half a hair away, but unfortunately the killer twisted and was lost in the dense crowd again.

The Shengzhou guards followed him with their troops, but they couldn't catch up. They shouted but couldn't shout. It was His Majesty who was kidnapped by the thieves. How could he dare to speak out!

Before he could even take a breath, he was scolded by Dou Tou.

"Are you chasing me or the thief?" This bunch of drunkards usually eat, drink and have fun but don't practice. They fall off the chain at the critical moment. Cheng Xin is a man who hates iron and hates steel. He blows his nose and stares in anger, "What are you still doing? Split up and chase!" "

Public security is good under the emperor's feet. There are almost no incidents of theft, not to mention murders.

Sheng Zhouwei went out on field duty for the first time since he took office two and a half years ago. He ran all the way, but he barely escaped death from exhaustion. He was still panting: "Where are you chasing...?"

This official position is neither big nor small. After all, he holds the power of Shengzhou, and everything outside the imperial city of Kyoto is under his control. There is no need to be afraid of the dragon guards who have no official title.

But I can't bear to say that the other person is the commander-in-chief, the kind who protects the emperor personally. If he is not careful, he will offend the first person around his majesty. Therefore, he flattered Cheng Xin a little more.

Cheng Xinxin thought that this was an official of the imperial court who couldn't beat him. He tried his best to persuade himself but still couldn't help but knocked him over the head. He turned around and flew away to continue chasing the madman who wanted to kill the king.

The remaining Shengzhou guards and dozens of patrol guards under his command were standing there looking at each other.

Yan Wuxie arrived at the right time. He led the uniformed and well-trained imperial troops to maintain order for the people to walk, and soon cleared the long street for carriages to pass.

If you can't afford to offend Cheng Xin, are you still afraid of offending the new guy?

Shengzhou Guard blocked Yan Wuxie's path, looking at the people who ignored him but were frightened by the imperial army, curled his lips in disgust, and his face tightened: "Commander Yan, is it not good to leave the palace privately? You are intimidating the people like this. , what’s the crime?”

"According to His Majesty's order, I have put the entire city on alert to capture the traitors and bring them to justice!" Yan Wuxie glanced at him lightly, "I hope Lord Zhou Wei will cooperate and assist in the search."

Shengzhou has four main streets from east to west, north to south, Zhuque, Xuanwu, Qinglong and Baihu, as well as dozens of large and small auxiliary streets.

Just after the morning court, the Prime Minister, the Ministry of War and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who had just been fighting, all parties were gathering on Zhuque Street.

As for Rong Cen, he is here on Qinglong Street. Her head was shaken, and the killer sister didn't get rid of Cheng Xin.

"Take the alley ahead."

She kindly reminded her, but the killer sister didn't listen and flew out of the way and slipped into another alley.

"You're going the wrong way, there's no way ahead."

At the end is a high courtyard wall and it has reached a dead end.

The streets of Kyoto are deeply hidden and have countless dead ends, making it difficult to get around. The one Rong Cen pointed out was also a dead end, but the difference was that the wall of that alley was relatively low and could be easily climbed over with the killer's skills. Even the killer sister can't climb over this wall in front of her. There are tigers and wolves hunting her behind, and even martial arts masters can't fly here.

The killer stopped for a moment, as if thinking about the possibility of returning to the main street.

Rong Cen sighed lightly and added: "Two steps forward, take the second brick under your shoulders, and press it down."

There is a secret door there, which makes no sound when activated, and can be entered and exited by one person. In the alley is an old school that was abandoned due to flooding in the early years.

She discovered it accidentally during a change inspection. This place was included in her renovation plan and was to be renovated and used as a girls' school.

It doesn't matter if the mechanism is exposed, it has to be dismantled anyway.

Now Rong Cen wants to know where the killer sister is taking her most.

Cheng Xin had already chased him into the alley. The other party was dubious and did as he was told. In a flash of light, the two figures disappeared.

Only the lingering sound of a few words was left in place.

Rong Cen asked: "Where is Taifu waiting for me?"

Killer Sister: "Shut up."

After an hour, they finally arrived at the Taifu Mansion on Zhuque Street.

The killer sister climbed over the wall in a very remote part of the backyard.

The Taifu's Mansion was formerly the Imperial Master's Mansion of the late emperor, and was built in imitation of a royal garden. The late Emperor's Master was involved in the case and was imprisoned, so it was taken back and was reserved for the next Emperor's Master.

But a genius named Lu Yi was born, and his sister fell in love with him at first sight. The Lu family was poor, housing prices in Beijing were high, and renting was also expensive. Lu Yi had no fixed place to live, so the late emperor gave this mansion to his uncle.

The scenery in spring and summer is infinitely beautiful. Rong Cen does not seem to have been taken captive. He is out of the palace to have fun, strolling around the garden, admiring the scenery, admiring flowers and feeding fish, and has a leisurely time.

The killer sister led the way with a cold expression and an unhurried pace. Although she did not wait for her deliberately, she would not be left far away.

Rong Cen walked around more casually. He would stop to tease a parrot when he passed by it, "Your master is so rude and doesn't come out to greet guests."

You should have entered from the innermost courtyard, so you walked out of several courtyards and passed through several arches before reaching the front hall.

The person who ordered her captor sat in the upper hall, holding a cup in his left hand, uncovering the lid with his right hand, blowing the leaves with his mouth, and sipping the tea leisurely.

When he saw someone coming, he didn't get up. He gently put down the tea cup, looked at her for a long time, and said calmly: "Here? Drink tea."

The assassination was arranged, so there was nothing strange about him not being polite. Rong Cen didn't force himself.

Mainly because she was thinking that she was Ming Zhao, Jin Yu was her imperial brother, and Lu Yi was Jin Yu's uncle, that is, she was her uncle.

Master, if I say it's good, it's not good, if I say it's bad, it's really bad, but it's not that bad. She had already guessed that this would happen. If she hadn't let him go, she wouldn't have been kidnapped. She just wanted to give her uncle face.

Rong Cen was calm and composed, without any restraint. He sat down under Lu Yi and poured himself a drink.

"The Grand Tutor did not hesitate to alarm all parties and invited me here with great fanfare. If you have anything to say, just say it."
