Chapter 388 Something is wrong

The little Taoist stepped forward quickly, poured out the pills from the bottle, and handed it to the old man.

"My lord, as long as you give an order, the 20 people hidden in Tianqi will naturally be used by you, so you don't have to stay here!"

Feng Xuan slightly raised his head, his face seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.

"I had already given up on that girl, but I didn't expect that girl to turn out to be so outstanding. I underestimated her!"

"What is your purpose for doing this? Could it be that you really plan to leave such a big matter of restoring the country to that little girl?"

"She is the only seedling left by Feng Shu, the only blood of Feng Ming, after several tests by this seat, she has passed the test!"

"The test is the last time, when you arranged for someone to assassinate you?"

The old man smiled lightly, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and there was also a touch of kindness lingering.

"After all, it is Feng Ming's only bloodline. Even though she was so weak back then, I still don't want her to die. I didn't expect that all of this was pretended by that girl. It almost made me think that there is no successor!"

The old man muttered to himself, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he coughed a few times, and suddenly trembling his fingertips, he put a box in his arms on the little Taoist priest's hand.

"When I die, you will hand over these things to her. I order you to protect Mu Chu's safety!"

The little Taoist nodded, his eyes serious.

Seeing that the old man was tired after a few words, he tightly clenched the things in his hands, turned around and pushed Feng Xuan in to rest.

Mu Chu never thought that seeing Feng Xuan this time would be the last time.

When the two came back from riding horses on the mountain, it was gradually getting dark, and the horseshoes made a rattling sound in the dark twilight.

But walking all the way from the city gate, the two only saw the doors of every house closed tightly, and a strange atmosphere filled the surroundings.

The two of them only left the imperial city for a day, what happened?
Mu Chu was a little puzzled, turned his head to look at Xiao Luochen's expression, but saw Xiao Luochen frowning his eyebrows, and there was a trace of coldness in his long and narrow phoenix eyes.

"His Royal Highness, there seems to be something wrong!"

Muchu took the reins of the horse and stood there, hesitating whether to turn around and go to Yun's house first.

"This king has also found out!"

Xiao Luochen pulled the horse closer to Mu Chu, walked around in a circle, and glanced at the surrounding scenery.

This time should have been the busiest time in the imperial city.

But now, the streets are deserted, and the setting sun shines on the earth, showing the bright rays of the sky, but it makes people feel a little dull and out of breath.

"Go, first ask what's going on!"

Xiao Luochen took the lead and walked towards a small teahouse not far ahead, while Mu Chu hurriedly followed behind him.

He knocked hard on the door, but there was no sound in the room, but he could vaguely hear the conversation coming from inside.

"Don't go out, those officers and soldiers must be here again!"

Mu Chu frowned. It seemed that this matter was related to the officers and soldiers in the imperial city. She lowered her voice and said softly with a female voice: "We are not bad people, but I just want to ask what happened. If you don't want to Open the door, you can talk to me directly inside!"

After a long time, a trembling male voice came from inside: "Several teams of officers and soldiers in the city ran around to smash and loot people's homes, and many of them were robbed!"

Xiao Luochen frowned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen under his jurisdiction.

"Do you know who leads the team?"

Xiao Luochen's voice was a bit cold, but it made it louder: "I don't know who is leading the team, but the leader has a scar on his face. A team of hundreds of people went door-to-door to rob, and no one came out to take care of it. After this morning, no one dared to open the door to go out!"

Mu Chu said softly: "Don't think about it, the group belonging to the queen mother must be making trouble maliciously, so that the queen mother can take advantage of the chaos and sneak into the imperial city!"

"You're right, but what does the Empress Dowager want to do most?"

Mu Chu suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up: "Save King Li, now only King Li is still trapped in the prison, after all, he is her son, she can't abandon him!"

Xiao Luochen nodded, "Enter the palace!"

The two rushed to the palace at high speed, with no common people blocking them along the way, and the speed was very fast.

After getting off the horse, seeing the figure of King Luo at the city gate, he quickly opened the palace gate to let Mu Chu and King Luo in.

However, before Mu Chu and Xiao Luochen entered the palace, a palace maid reported that a large number of ministers were waiting outside the Golden Luan Hall and had something to report.

Don't think about it, it must be related to the chaos outside the city.

Following behind Xiao Luochen, Mu Chu strode into the Golden Luan Hall. All the officials stood up, their faces all pale and ugly.

"I also ask the prince to come forward and rescue the family of the subordinate official!"

In an instant, the figures kneeling on the ground below, those ministers looked mournful, and their voices were miserable.

"My lord, please let Li Wang go, and save the family of the officials!"

For a moment, a deep despair filled the hall, and everyone lowered their shoulders a little, with a pleading gesture.

Xiao Luochen stared coldly, and said lightly: "One by one, tell me what happened in the imperial city during the absence of this king!"

"My lord, that's what happened. Yue Tianyun led the soldiers of the Yue family's mansion to act violently and oppress the common people. The Liu family took the remaining troops and surrounded the subordinate's house. When they learned that the subordinate was not in the mansion, they arrested all the subordinate's wives and children. gone……"

"Many ministers have encountered the same thing. When General Lin led people to suppress, he was threatened with hostages by the other party!"

"Now the hostages have been taken outside the city, and they are nowhere to be found. The queen mother put down her words. If King Li is not handed over to her, everyone will be killed tonight!"

All the ministers, you didn't say a word, but you also explained the current scene.

The imperial guards in the capital rebelled for no reason, and now only these troops in the palace are still under Lin Fei's control, otherwise, Mu Chu and Xiao Luochen might not even be able to enter the palace.

Lin Fei took a step forward, and said silently: "The lower official is not doing well, please punish the king regent!"

Xiao Luochen waved his hand, looked up solemnly.

"If she wants someone, just give him someone. I don't care much about a cripple, whether he dies or not!"

When everyone heard that Xiao Luochen agreed to exchange the hostages, their faces were filled with joy.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"

"It's a pity that even if I hand over the hostages, the other party may not release them!"

As soon as these words came out of Xiao Luochen's mouth, everyone's faces turned pale. What Xiao Luochen said was absolutely right. With so many hostages in her hands, the Queen Mother could do more things, such as threatening them. , to rebel together.
