Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 158 Discovery
Prince Beijing's Mansion, Prince Shuirong of Beijing came to the study.

He has always felt uneasy these days. He thought it was because the failure to impeach Jia Qiang at the Great Court had affected him.

Whenever he was upset, he would go to a place where he would find peace of mind.

Today he planned to go there again, opened a mechanism in the study, and entered the secret room of the study.

There are a lot of treasures in this secret room, but in his opinion, these things are just gadgets, and putting them in the secret room is completely a cover-up.

Beijing Wang Shuirong moved a Bogu shelf. His movement of moving the Bogu shelf was very light and steady.

The Bogu rack and the more than ten ornaments on it weighed more than four hundred kilograms, but they were as light as weight in his hands.

He moved the floor under the Bogu shelf, revealing a downward passage.

After waiting for a moment, the lamp in the passage below automatically lit up, and he then walked down the steps.

Walking on the steps, he carefully paid attention to the patterns on the steps and got out of the way of the steps covered with traps.

He would not leave his life or death to Emperor Jingwen or the mercy of the Supreme Emperor. Emperor Jingwen would never let him go.

This underground space was discovered accidentally after he took over the Beijing Prince's Mansion. It is unknown who built it in the previous dynasty.

"Master!" The two of them came to Beijing Wang Shuirong, knelt down and saluted.

Needless to say, his study is the most important place in the whole house and is extremely tightly guarded. Not to mention that he has to find the secret room first and then use the secret to enter the underground space.

He rushed to the outermost room like crazy, but it was also empty.

"Come here!" he shouted.

"Death!" When he thought of this word, Beijing Wang Shuirong's soul trembled.

Beijing Wang Shuirong walked out of the study, he was still very panicked at the moment.

The palace steward felt the aura on his body and knew that this matter was not simple. He quickly bowed in response and quickly stepped back to carry out the task.

This is no small thing. Not to mention the 10,000 pieces of armor and weapons, let alone one of the twenty red cannons, it is impossible to transport them out of the Beijing Palace silently.

What Wang Shuirong of Beijing wanted to see was the dragon robe. Whenever he had something on his mind, he would put on the dragon robe. The feeling made him intoxicated.

"Father doesn't have the final say as to who owns this world!" Wang Shuirong of Beijing said as he looked in the direction of the palace.

"Master!" The palace steward quickly came to his side and bowed.

"Be prepared to evacuate the capital at any time, and contact southern Xinjiang to let them obey orders at any time!" Beijing Wang Shuirong ordered in a deep voice.

Later, he hired a mechanism master to recreate the mechanism.

Every time he transported items into the underground space, he would kill the person, so few people knew about that entrance.

After a long time, his brain recovered and he began to think about why the underground space was stolen.

Each red cannon weighs two thousand kilograms. To transport twenty red cannons, at least twenty horse-drawn carriages and dozens of people are required to transport them.

He had fantasized more than once about one day wearing a dragon robe and holding a 'Da Gan Sword' to obtain the throne.

There are two entrances to the underground space, one in his study and one in his family temple.

This passage in the study secret room is the innermost room that leads directly to the underground space.

"Yes, Master!" The two secret guards responded, and then they left through the secret door they came from.

The red cannon is not an eight-oxen crossbow, or armor, it can be broken down into smaller parts.

A hidden door opened on the wall, and two people wearing special armor walked out.

He has made various preparations. Once the incident in the underground space breaks out and the palace pursues it, he will not sit back and wait.

"Secret guard!" Beijing Wang Shuirong said to the wall after the palace steward left.

There were a total of twenty red-coated cannons and forty eight-oxen crossbows stored outside, but they had all disappeared.

After turning a corner, he opened the last hidden door.

The 'Da Gan Sword' is of extremely important significance to Da Gan. It is a symbol of imperial power and also the confidence for him to fight for the throne.

"Brother, is it you, or maybe the emperor is still young and still has enough energy to keep an eye on us princes!" Wang Shuirong of Beijing murmured to himself.

If it weren't for Jia Qiang's escort, Emperor Jingwen might have died several times.

The sight in front of him made him stunned. There was nothing in the room except a damaged dragon robe.

He did not believe that Emperor Jingwen had not suspected that he had planned everything. If things happened in the underground space, Emperor Jingwen's suspicion would turn into certainty, and Emperor Jingwen would never let him go.

Although he is not ready yet, when it comes to that step, he still has the strength to fight.

He thought of something again and immediately rushed outside.

"Where's my 'Da Gan Sword'?" He didn't have time to feel sorry for his dragon robe, but the first thing he thought of was the 'Da Gan Sword'.

A deep sense of fear arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but slumped to the ground.

Another entrance to the family temple is the entrance for transporting large items.

"Check for me the people who have been in and out of the house in recent days. Everyone must check clearly when they entered the house, when they left the house, where they did what they did, and there must be no omissions!" Wang Shuirong of Beijing looked at the housekeeper Shen The voice commanded.

But no matter how secret the entrance is, the fact is that things in the underground space are lost.

Regardless of whether it is Emperor Jingwen or the Supreme Emperor, knowing that he has a large number of armors and privately made dragon robes in his palace, even if he gains the favor of the Supreme Emperor, he will lose everything he currently has and may even die.

No outsiders knew about the theft in the Prince's Palace of Beijing, and even only a few people in the Prince's Palace of Beijing knew about it.

In the days that followed, many people died in the Beijing Palace and many people disappeared.

These were all the means used by King Beijing to investigate. He arrested everyone who knew the entrance to the underground space and interrogated them one by one.

Things at the Prince's Palace in Beijing were silent, but what happened in the West Camp of Beijing surprised the entire capital.

The dignified envoy of Jingying Jiedushi was stopped outside the west camp of Jingying, and a conflict almost broke out between the two sides.

Wang Ziteng's face was stepped on the ground and rubbed repeatedly during this confrontation. Jia Qiang, another person involved in the incident, was heard to be studying in the Imperial College at the time.

Jia Qiang, wearing the robe of a second-grade military attaché, walked into the East Palace under the guidance of the young eunuch.

He first glanced at Xia Shouzhong who was standing next to Emperor Jingwen. When he saw Xia Shouzhong smiling at him, he knew that the incident in Xi Daying did not have a big impact.

"Your Majesty, Jia Qiang, pays homage to Your Majesty!" Jia Qiang knelt down and saluted, shouting.

"Pingshen!" Emperor Jingwen waved his hand and said.

Jia Qiang stood up and stood with her hands tied.

"Okay, don't act like this, tell me how your Western Camp kept Prince Tengdu out of the camp?" Emperor Jingwen asked angrily, pointing at Jia Qiang.

"The Western Camp is the Western Camp of the Holy Lord. No one can command it except the Holy Lord, not even Wang Ziteng!" Jia Qiang said firmly.

The look on Emperor Jingwen's face was startled at first, and then he unconsciously opened the corners of his mouth. He couldn't help but laugh, but he tried hard not to let Jia Qiang see it. Who doesn't like such a courtier? What a nice saying.

Although the power in the hands of Emperor Jingwen had increased due to the intention of the Supreme Emperor, the military power in the Beijing camp still only had 5,000 new soldiers.

Jia Qiang commanded two guards of 10,000 men, one of which was given by the Supreme Emperor to Jia Qiang to command. However, Jia Qiang's attitude was that the two guards of 10,000 men only obeyed the orders of Emperor Jingwen.

This displeased Emperor Jingwen, who did not have much military power. There were 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp available. Even if there was an attack on the palace, he would feel safe and secure.

Another reason why he asked for five thousand sergeants was actually because he was worried that the Supreme Emperor would establish another throne.

Five thousand sergeants are a kind of guarantee. At least the Emperor has more scruples when he considers establishing another throne.

It can also make his restless royal brothers think of the threat of the five thousand soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp when they make any moves.

"With your temper, you'd better study hard for me!" Emperor Jingwen shook his head and said.

"I will definitely achieve good results in next year's examination!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile.

"You also want to go to the Emperor's side!" Emperor Jingwen waved his hand casually and said.

Jia Qiang bowed and exited the room. When she was about to leave, she saw Xia Shouzhong following him.

"Manager Xia, what can I do?" Jia Qiang asked.

"Master asked me to give this to you!" Xia Shouzhong put a manuscript in his hand and said.

Jia Qiang looked at the door and wondered why Emperor Jingwen didn't tell him face to face, but instead asked Xia Shouzhong to send him the handwriting.

He took the oracle with both hands and saluted in the direction of Jing Wen.

After he left the East Palace and went to the Daming Palace, he opened the oracle.

In the handwriting, two thousand pieces of armor were retrieved from the inner treasury, which were awarded to the Western Camp.

This represents Emperor Jingwen's attitude. He agreed with Jia Qiang's behavior. Although he didn't say anything in person, he praised him in this way.

Jia Qiang walked into the Daming Palace and saw that the Supreme Emperor was still drinking and having fun.

He couldn't help but sigh at the Emperor's methods. The Emperor was the real person in power in Daqian, but he had such an easy life.

Looking at Emperor Jingwen again, when Jia Qiang was by Emperor Jingwen's side, she never saw how Emperor Jingwen rested. Even the concubines in the harem were rarely favored.

"Stop kneeling, come here and sit down!" The Supreme Emperor saw Jia Qiang about to salute, and casually waved his hand to stop her.

Dai Quan had already stepped forward and pulled Jia Qiang to the seat next to the Supreme Emperor, and asked the young eunuch to bring him food and wine.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time for matters related to the Western Camp!" Jia Qiang had a purpose this time, he said after sitting down.

"If you command the 10,000 sergeants, they belong to you, and you can do your work with peace of mind!" The Supreme Emperor didn't seem to care about this matter and said with a smile.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but feel relieved. He was not worried about anything else but the Emperor's attitude.

He was a little suspicious of the rumors outside, saying that the Supreme Emperor was extremely difficult to get along with. Except for some old friends, everyone else was trembling in front of the Supreme Emperor.

But he felt that the Supreme Emperor was very kind. From the first meeting, the Supreme Emperor treated him like an elder.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance!" Jia Qiang bowed and thanked him.

Jia Qiang just now turned her attention to the singing and dancing in the palace. He could see that the dancing girl was not as good as Yi Ya.

This discovery made him stunned. The dancing girl rewarded by the Supreme Emperor was actually the best in the palace.

"I heard that your martial arts are outstanding. Let me demonstrate it with some music!" After the dance music ended, the Supreme Emperor turned to Jia Qiang and said.

"Yes, the Supreme Emperor!" Jia Qiang didn't know why the Supreme Emperor was like this, but he still responded.

Dai Quan presented a long sword. Jia Qiang took it and found that the sword was a precious sword.

Although it is far inferior to the 'Da Gan Sword', it has surpassed his 'Qingfeng Sword'.

"What a sword!" Jia Qiang praised.

When the music started, it was the time for the ancient music to break. His body followed the music, and the long sword in his hand thrust out. His feet kept pace, and the long sword changed its shape to sweep, slash, and chop.

Every step he takes steps on the rhythm of ancient music, and the sword dance and music are integrated.

Although he is nearly two meters tall, he feels light as he moves.

The Supreme Emperor looked at Jia Qiang's sword dance and nodded from time to time.

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door, and the Supreme Emperor is the real expert.

He could tell that the swordsmanship used by Jia Qiang was not very sophisticated, but it was extremely simple and direct. This was not a real sword dance, but a killing sword.

This kind of swordsmanship must be matched with the great strength of a warrior to exert its greatest power.

"Use all your strength and you will massacre thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River!" the Supreme Emperor laughed.

Jiangnan massacred thousands of people. This title was the name given to Jia Qiang by the people in Jiangnan Jianghu according to the information sent back from Jiangnan.

Maybe other people are disgusted by the term Massacre, but people like the Supreme Emperor, who have spent half their lives fighting, like the term Massacre.

Jia Qiang's interest also increased. His steps were getting faster and faster, and the movements in his hands were also speeding up.

Originally, he was doing one step and one sword in a rhythm, then it was increased to a rhythm of two steps and two swords, and then it was five or six steps in a rhythm. When the sword was drawn out, only the cold light could be seen but the blade was not visible.

"Be careful!" Dai Quan suddenly reminded.

It turned out that Jia Qiang moved to the pool in the palace during the sword dance.

In this pool is the koi carp that the Emperor loves, and Dai Quan doesn't want the koi carp to get hurt.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qiang's feet stepped on the water of the pool, but her body walked across the pool, and the boots on her feet did not enter the water.

"Sure enough, ten thousand people were slaughtered into the water, like gods and demons!" The Supreme Emperor clapped his hands and laughed.

The information from Jiangnan also contains information about Jia Qiang walking on water.

The Emperor didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Jia Qiang stepping on the pool, she felt like walking on flat ground.

The music stopped and Jia Qiang's figure remained motionless.

"I am very happy, I will give you this 'Pingkou Sword'!" The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said.

Only then did Jia Qiang see the three small characters "Ping Kou Sword" on the hilt of the long sword in her hand. The Supreme Emperor had given this sword to herself.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" He held the 'Ping Kou Sword' in both hands and thanked him.

"Come to Daming Palace often from now on, don't ask me to call you all the time!" the Supreme Emperor said with a smile.

Jia Qiang's heart warmed. Although he knew that the royal family had no true feelings, he felt close to him from the Supreme Emperor.

He didn't know why he was like this, but the Supreme Emperor had no reason to do this just to show mercy. Even if the Supreme Emperor didn't show mercy, he wouldn't be able to disobey any orders.
