Chapter 707(1/2)
The sky gradually darkened, and the lamp was held in the imperial study room.
The people in the palace were still stalemate in silence, the atmosphere was quiet but depressing.
I don’t know when, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and there was a lot of noise.
Except for Lao Jiu, the people in the palace were all well-cultivated, with all the sharp ears and eyes. When they heard the movement, they knew that the imperial guards outside the palace were mobilizing.
The Eight Guards obviously did not know in advance that the Imperial Guard would be mobilized. After hearing the sudden movement, everyone's mind became more and more tense and quickly looked at Lao Jiu.
But I saw that Lao Jiu, who was always silent, looked abnormally at the movement and was looking towards the window in a panic.
Seeing this, the Eight Guards quickly turned their eyes to look at the Ming King.
I saw that King Ming was still sitting steadily on the chair, as if he had not heard the movement outside and had no reaction at all.
Seeing the reactions of these two people, the Bazun Guards' hearts immediately became cold, and someone immediately wanted to go out to look at the situation.
At this moment, the real person's calm voice rang: "Don't panic, the imperial guards are just changing their defenses normally."
As soon as this said, the Eight Guards were stunned and looked at Lao Jiu again, but they saw that Lao Jiu was obviously shocked and suspicious when he heard the words of the real person.
On the contrary, the Ming King, who didn't even raise his eyelids, was still calm and motionless.
The Eight Guards looked at each other in a daze, and were a little confused, not sure what the situation was.
Who arranged the dispatch of the imperial guards?
If the person who came was His Majesty’s man, why did the Ming King look calm and His Majesty panic?
The Eight Guards could only calm their minds, look at the real person, and wait for his explanation.
The real man did not explain, but nodded slightly to Lao Jiu who was looking at him, and then his lips moved slightly: "The imperial guards are mixed with fish and dragons, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous. The Ming King had known that Zhang Wu's army was here, so he transferred Hu Yu out to change his defense. Hu Yu was originally in the prison, and the Ming King would have used him suddenly without any precautions."
This sentence was not heard by others, but only reached Lao Jiu's ears.
After hearing this, Lao Jiu's eyes flashed slightly. He was indeed unsure of the imperial guards, otherwise he would have just ordered the imperial guards to take action. He would not have to wait here for Cang Ming to come back.
However, Hu Yu, who had done something wrong in the Golden Palace, had a very bad impression of him, and even hated him.
Not only him, including Xu Liu and Mo Beichuan, these people, regardless of their loyalty and treacherousness, failed his high expectations.
Even if they are not treacherous officials, they are still wastes who are bad things and should be killed.
If I had known in advance, Lao Jiu would definitely not agree to use him.
But when you think about it calmly, it is not unreasonable for real people to consider it.
The Ming King just took action against the Eight Guards in the Imperial Study room, and was obviously not afraid of him calling the Imperial Army to take action.
This is enough to show that the imperial guards outside the door cannot believe it. As for Hu Yu, no matter what, in the Golden Palace, he did lead his troops into the hall as arranged. Although he failed, his original intention should still be good.
In addition, this person had been taken down and locked up, and it was indeed unexpected to Ming Wang.
Anyway, the Ming King was obviously not afraid of Zhang Wu's army, so unexpectedly, the benefits of transferring Hu Yu's army outweighed the disadvantages.
Lao Jiu calmed down and nodded to the real person, expressing his agreement.
But in fact, the real person had already transferred Hu Yu over, and the road was already completed, so he could only make a decision.
After the defeat in the Golden Palace, his reputation, prestige, orthodox justice were all completely lost in today's battle.
Although he was still sitting on the dragon throne, he was really at a loss. The only thing he was glad that the two real people had fulfilled their wish to protect him, but they had not given up on him, and could still use it for him.
So even though the real person had blatantly violated his will in front of the ministers and officials in the Golden Palace, even if he had made a decision without passing by now, he would have transferred Hu Yu over.
He could only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart, dare not pursue it, nor could he have the ability to pursue it.
If even the inner guards carried him away, he would only have two roads left. Or he would stay in the deep palace from now on and live a life of slump and wait for one day to no longer be of value to drink a glass of poisoned wine given to him by the Ming King.
Or, leave some last dignity and let yourself live in advance.
...
The sound of soldiers walking outside continued for a long time.
The people in the hall also heard that there was no chaos outside and were always in order, so their hearts gradually relaxed.
But when everyone looked at the unmoved face of Ming Wang, he was always uneasy.
The imperial guard suddenly mobilized the defense to change. With the wisdom of the Ming King, how could he not know that it was targeted at him? He was not worried at all about such movements?
Not to mention others, even the real person who handled the matter personally, looked at the expression of the Ming Wang Gu Jing Wubo, and couldn't help but feel upset.
He deliberately did not say in front of everyone, and publicly said that he had transferred Hu Yu over to make the King of Ming feel unsure.
Logically, even though the Ming King had many arrangements in the imperial guards, he didn't know who was transferred, so he must be afraid of it.
The real person definitely does not believe that the Ming King can control the entire imperial guards.
But Mingwang's reaction was so dull that he didn't even raise his eyebrows from beginning to end...
After the movement outside lasted for a while, it became quiet again.
There was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the hall, and everyone hurriedly looked at it, but they saw that Ming Dao was coming.
Mingdao stood at the door and saw the Ming King sitting alone on one side and the eight guards standing on the other side. He felt that the atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn.
When his eyes fell on the blood that had not dried up underground beside the Ming King's chair, his heart immediately became tight.
Have you done it?
Ming Dao quickly swept over the people in the hall and soon found that one of them was pale and blood-red on his collar, and he was obviously injured.
Ming Dao looked at Ming Wang who was sitting alone on the right side and suppressed the guards. His eyes flashed in a complicated way and he greeted him: "I have seen Your Majesty, real person!"
"What's the matter?" Lao Jiu asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, the imperial guards have been replaced!" Ming Dao replied.
"Yes!" Lao Jiu nodded and said no more.
Mingdao looked at the real person again, and the real person nodded to Mingdao. Mingdao bowed to Lao Jiu again and then left the hall.
The palace was quiet again, but this time it didn't take long.
The real person suddenly stood up from the cushion and looked up at the door with a serious expression.
This sudden reaction surprised the Eight Treasures and the two old men, and hurriedly looked towards the door.
Seeing nothing at the door, everyone was surprised. They looked back at the real person, but they saw that the real person had no idea why, his face turned pale, and his eyes turned to the Ming King: "Your Highness is like this, is it really going to fight in the palace?"
The Ming King, who was sitting alone, finally reacted at this time, just like the real person just now. He turned his head and looked at the direction of the door, then turned his eyes and looked at the real person, but he still said nothing, and then lowered his eyes again.
Seeing this, the real person's face looked even more ugly and he wanted to speak again, but suddenly his face changed in shock and said with a hurried voice: "Everyone obeys the order, protect Your Majesty!"
"Yes!" All the guards were shocked when they heard this, and they all immediately rose up and immediately flashed to block the imperial table, staring at the Ming King.
Lao Jiu was also shocked by this incident and was about to go behind the real person, but suddenly he found that the real person was missing.
Not only Lao Jiu discovered it, but the ten people in the hall surrounded Lao Jiu's body also noticed the abnormality.
The Ming King didn't move at all, and he was still sitting on the chair and silent.
The few people dared not relax and stared at Mingwang for a moment, but still no movement was seen. Only then did they realize that the real person was no longer in the imperial study.
The scene suddenly became a little awkward, and the Ming King seemed to have no intention of taking action.
What's going on?
Seeing that the fight was not started, Lao Jiu was still nervous and confused, but he still did not return to the dragon throne, standing behind the two inner guards, staring at Mo Bai.
After a few breaths, the Ming King, who had been sitting there, suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
While staring at him carefully, the guards couldn't help but look at the door, but there was still nothing.
However, at this moment, the faces of the guards suddenly changed drastically, and their eyes shrank violently when they looked at the blank space at the door.
"boom!"
In the palace just at night, a sudden roar of roar sounded in the palace city, causing the entire palace city to lose its voice in an instant.
In the imperial study room, Lao Jiu was also frightened and shouted, "What's going on?"
All the noble guards also changed their expressions. The old monk beside Lao Jiu said with a serious look: "Your Majesty, this is a real person fighting in the palace. Listen to the sound, the battle location should be in the harem."
"Real person? Harem?" Lao Jiu almost thought of something when he heard this, but then he immediately asked: "Where did the real person come from, Yuqing, Taiqing and others are all supervised by the imperial guards, how could they appear in the harem..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Jiu looked at Mo Bai.
The others also looked at Mo Bai. Mo Bai turned his eyes and looked at Lao Jiu, but just stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, the guards looked at each other, but in the end no one spoke.
Everyone wants to go out and see the battle between real people. Real people are rare. If they can see it, they will benefit a lot if they have reached the end of the Master Realm.
However, Mo Bai was in the hall, and they did not dare to move rashly.
But there is no regret. After that roar, there was no more movement. It seemed that the battle was over after just one blow.
Everyone thought that when the Qingyu Zhenren left just now, they must have not gone to participate in the war, but to stop them.
The whistling sound of imperial guards everywhere in the palace came faintly and quickly calmed down.
The movement comes quickly and goes quickly.
To be continued...
