Chapter 120 IX The King Is Missing

Once entering the palace gate as deep as the sea, under Zheng Qian's fists, the heavy palace gate shattered into thousands of tiny pieces, shooting towards the square in the palace. 26nbsp;

The heavy door of the palace was smashed, and Zheng Qian stood on the high threshold of entering and leaving the palace, scanning the situation inside the palace.

At this time, the square in the palace was empty, and the other end of the square was connected to the white jade steps of the palace, and there were no military academy soldiers who usually stood guard.Only the old eunuch who just came out hurriedly walked through the corridor beside the main hall, followed by a small group of people who also looked like eunuchs.

The palace gate was broken, and the group of eunuchs ran faster.

Zheng Qianneng could see the panic on their faces.

After a few vertical jumps, Zheng Qian had already dodged in front of this group of people, blocking their way.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Where is the king?" Zheng Qian leaned on a stone pillar with his buttocks, crossed his legs, and said with a smile to the group of eunuchs who were on their way.

The old eunuch in the lead didn't expect Zheng Qian's speed to be so fast. When he was on his way, he was suddenly blocked by Zheng Qian. He was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.When the two were in a dilemma, Zheng Qian's question made the old eunuch sober.

"Master Envoy, Lord Zheng. Your Majesty is no longer in the palace. We are also looking for it. You came here before we found it."

Zheng Qian looked carefully at the old eunuch's face, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"When did the king disappear?" Zheng Qian stood up straight, facing the old eunuch.

"The king asked Mr. Duan... Duan Xiao disappeared shortly after he went to the Huben regiment."

"I heard that the king has only been haunting the back garden of the palace recently. How do you know that he is missing?" Zheng Qian then asked.

"People from the inner court came to report." While speaking, the old eunuch looked at the team of eunuchs behind him.

A young man with a delicate face walked out of the crowd, and bowed to Zheng Qian.

"My lord envoy, I was the first to know about the disappearance of the king. I was also the first to notify the general manager. But we searched all over the palace, but we couldn't find His Majesty. That's when we confirmed that His Majesty is missing."

"Are you the king's servant?"

"Yes." The young man bowed harder, covering his face completely.

"Look up, let me see you."

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment, but followed Zheng Qian's order and raised his head.Zheng Qian found that this eunuch is quite handsome, and Duan Xiao's handsome is not the same as Duan Xiao's.

It's just that these two people have one thing in common: they are too feminine.It's understandable for the eunuch to be so unkind, but Duan Xiao, who is the ruler of the Jinwu, is also so feminine, Zheng Qian doesn't care when he just sees Duan Xiao like this.But now with the comparison, Duan Xiao looks a little suspicious.

As soon as the young eunuch raised his head, Zheng Qian felt something strange about this doubtful point.

Speaking of Duan Xiao and this eunuch, both of them can be regarded as handsome men.Zheng Qian grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he has a general understanding of the king's temperament through what he has heard and seen.

The real king is a bit of a womanizer, and it is true that there are so many beautiful concubines in the court.It's something that even men are so handsome in the same color like now, but it's never heard of it.

In order to confirm it, Zheng Qian asked the old eunuch again, "Who else is the servant?"

Zheng Qian's eyes have already scanned this group of eunuchs, and found a few handsome faces.Just waiting to see if my guess is accurate.

"I'm from the inner court." Several people who stood up replied one after another.

These few people had exactly the same ideas as Zheng Qian.Sure enough, he is a handsome man of one color, and he is very young.

"When did you enter the inner palace?"

"A few months ago."

Zheng Qian nodded, already having some thoughts in his heart.Then he turned his head to the old eunuch and asked, "Did you protect these people into the inner palace?"

The old eunuch didn't dare to hide anything, and replied truthfully: "I didn't guarantee it, it was chosen by His Majesty himself."

"Is there any place in the back garden that the king often goes to?" Zheng Qian asked these young eunuchs who were personally selected by the king to enter the inner palace.

"Your Majesty often goes to the inner garden. Every time you enter the inner garden, your majesty only allows me to wait outside. Those who enter the inner garden easily will be severely punished, and even their heads will fall to the ground."

"Then you went to the inner garden to look for it?"

"This……"

Zheng Qian looked at the old eunuch again, and the old eunuch also looked embarrassed.He didn't have the guts to break into the important place in the inner garden.

"You didn't even search for the inner garden, so why did you arbitrarily determine that the king is missing? Could it be that you want to find an excuse to dismiss me casually?" Zheng Qian asked sharply.

"Don't dare. My lord." The old eunuch was startled by Zheng Qian's shout, his legs went limp, and he knelt down.

All the eunuchs were also frightened by Zheng Qian's unprepared shout, and their legs softened, and with the old eunuch taking the lead, they knelt down naturally.These eunuchs also had the habit of kneeling, and when something happened, their first reaction was to bow down.I pray for gratitude, and I pray for mercy. If you don’t pray a few times a day, you will lose your backbone.

"My lord, please forgive me." All the eunuchs begged for mercy in unison, because the voices of these people have become thinner, and there is no such thing as a warbler's voice.Goosebumps on Zheng Qian's body rose up after hearing it.

"Okay, okay. Get up." Zheng Qian raised his hand impatiently.

The old eunuch knelt and did not move, stealthily sizing up Zheng Qian, to see if the envoy was really appeased or impatient.If you get angry, you can save your life, but if you are impatient, the lives of these people may be lost at any time.

"My lord, I will wait to confirm the reason for the king's disappearance. There is one more reason." The old eunuch saw the impatient look on Zheng Qian's face, and his heart was beating wildly.

Zheng Qian was waiting for what he was going to say next, Zheng Qian really didn't want to talk to these eunuchs anymore.Zheng Qian felt awkward and flustered after talking to these guys who were missing some male parts.

"My lord, when the king enters the inner garden, he is usually accompanied by Mrs. Duan...Duan Xiao. Without Duan...Xiao's company, His Majesty's time to enter the inner garden is very short. But this time, if His Majesty enters the inner garden The inner garden should have come out a long time ago. Because, because..." The old eunuch pointed to Duan Xiao's head that Zheng Qian had hung on his waist before he broke through the door.

"Who else is in the palace?"

"There's basically no one else but us."

"Where are the concubines?"

"This……"

"Speak quickly!"

"I don't know."

"what?"

"I don't know where I was taken by His Majesty. Today's harem is empty and there is no concubine." Seeing Zheng Qian's anger, the old eunuch trembled all over, lying on the floor of the corridor paved with white jade, and was even more unwilling got up.

"It seems that Winterfell City is really about to change. Go back to your room and don't run around." After Zheng Qian left these two sentences, he disappeared from the eyes of the eunuchs, like a ghost.

The old eunuch lay half down on the ground, staring blankly at the place where Zheng Qian had stood, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.After regaining consciousness, he kept kowtowing towards the place where Zheng Qian had stood.

After staying in the deep palace for a long time, their brains will not be able to turn around. These people saw Zheng Qian coming and walking out of thin air. When Zheng Qian was a god, they had already removed the word "envoy".

Relying on the map in his memory, Zheng Qian went directly to the back garden that circled the palace.

The building of the palace is outside the main hall, and some podiums are built in a row.These podiums are usually the offices of the royal family and various military administrations in Winterfell.The so-called back garden is a place surrounded by tall walls behind the podium.

In the past, the back garden was often used as a place for the king to entertain important ministers and heroes.So every time you can hear the sound of silk, bamboo and shengge coming from the back garden.

In the eyes of Zheng Qian, the back garden of the royal palace is now in a state of depression.The colorful scenes he had seen in his childhood were no longer visible, and even the evergreen holly trees had only bare branches, and the gardens made up of flowing water and rockery that were common in the past were now only left with lifeless gray The rockery stands alone.There was a tattered atmosphere in the whole back garden.

In the breath of this ****, Zheng Qian sniffed the air, he smelled a trace of blood and rancidity.Zheng Qian is very familiar with that rancid smell, which is the unique impression left on him by the snake village on the cliff deep in the dark night forest.

The smell of blood is mixed with the smell of rancidity, and these two smells are wafting in the air.It made Zheng Qian's nerves tense all of a sudden.
