Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C291

“Those villagers were simple and kind. They didn’t want to leave me alone, so they used soil as a recipe to gather local herbs to temporarily control my illness. After that, they carried the bed board along with me and brought me to a rather famous Daoist temple, where they asked Daoist Zhong to treat me. ” Jing Qi said, but he was still moved.

Jing Qi recuperated from his injuries in the True Daoist Monastery for a few days, and his heart was always worried about the Duke and the Royal Consort. Only after Daoist Zhong told him that Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan had come over and brought the two of them back to the capital safely did he finally relax.

After waiting until his injuries were better, Jing Qi bid farewell to Daoist Zhong. He then disguised himself and entered the capital to look for Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan.

However, on his way back to the capital, he discovered that the city gates were tightly guarded, and the people coming in and out had to be closely investigated.

He heard that Shen Youhuang was in the imperial court with one hand covering the sky, and was worried that the obstacles were actually there to search for the people with Prince Yu’s Mansion, hence he did not dare take the official road, wanting to enter the capital through the water.

After lying in ambush for two days at the crossing, he finally found an official ship carrying the flag of salt luck. There were no obstacles along the way. He thought it was a good place to hide, so he quietly boarded the ship.

Unexpectedly, after staying on the ship for a whole day, he discovered that the cabin wasn’t filled with salt at all, but was actually filled with extremely dangerous concealed weapons. Only then did he know that this was Shen Youhuang’s boat.

Tonight, he had snuck into the official’s room on the boat to search for evidence related to Shen Youhuang.

Therefore, he decided to make a simple explosive package out of some of the firearms in the cabin to blow up the boat and the concealed weapon.

But she never thought that Shen Lingjue and the rest would actually appear on the boat at this time. Jing Qi was extremely happy.

Thinking about the hardships Jing Qi had endured in the past few days, Feng Ningyan said bitterly, “For a traitor like Shen Youhuang, it wouldn’t be too much if he were to be sliced into pieces!”

Jing Qi laughed, “Royal Concubine, don’t be angry. If the wangfei and the prince are safe and sound, then we will have great fortune and have great fortune in the future. ”

Nangong Xingyao also happily said from the side, “Your Highness and Princess, your luck is very deep. I’ve already calculated this long ago!”

Shen Lingjue stood up, looked at the surface of the river which was gradually returning to its calm state, and muttered to himself for a moment: “Jing Qi, have you found any evidence?”

Jing Qi couldn’t help but reveal a look of shame, and said: “No, other than the paperwork for clearing the level, there’s nothing on the ship.”

Chu Zhao laughed bitterly: “Shen Youhuang is a sly old fox, how could he leave behind evidence so easily for us to find? Even this ship has been blown up for nothing. ”

“What do you mean?” Jing Qi was a little confused.

Shen Lingjue said: “According to the number of carriages Chu Zhao and Ah Yao had seen in the weapons factory, all the concealed weapon’s rod, firearms, etc., together, is at least four to five thousand kilograms; That’s why we suspect that the concealed weapon wielder has been moved. ”

“Transfer?” Jing Qi was surprised, and recalled, “That’s right! “Your subordinate snuck into the official’s room during the day when they were recharging water in a kaleidoscope port to look for evidence. The ship had once docked, and there was another ship beside it …”

Thinking about that, he suddenly slapped his forehead. “Heh! What a fool I am! It must have been moved at that time! ”

The few of them suddenly became silent, because they knew, with such a large group of hidden weapons, if they were to land in Shen Youhuang’s hands, what kind of disaster would occur in the capital.

But now, even Jieyu Pavilion had lost the ship that was transporting the weapons, so what other methods could they have to stop this catastrophe?

Jing Qi had concealed himself within the ship for a long time and risked his life to bomb the ship, but to no avail. The hidden weapon was moved right under his nose, which made him even more frustrated.

He held tightly onto his sword sheath, his face dark and filled with killing intent: “Your Highness, just pretend Jing Qi never came back!”

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

“What are you doing!” Feng Ningyan anxiously pulled him back: “You want to be a hero again?”

Jing Qi narrowly escaped death, as if he had just recovered his life, and had long looked down upon life and death.

Now, seeing that Shen Youhuang was about to obtain the hidden weapons that threatened the continent of the Great Yue Kingdom, he was willing to give up this life of his that he had lost and return, and vow to die together with Shen Youhuang.

From the hate and determination in his eyes, everyone could see what he meant.

Shen Lingjue frowned, he walked to the front of Jing Qi with his hands behind his back, and the sharp coldness in his eyes penetrated into the bottom of his heart.

“Jing Qi, your martial arts are strong, this king knows very well; if Shen Youhuang were to stand here and let you kill him, of course you would be able to do it easily. But he’s not the scarecrow you face when you practice boxing. He won’t stretch out his neck for you to chop at. ”

“But assassination is the fastest method!” Jing Qi was unwilling to accept this.

Shen Lingjue glared at him in disappointment: “But this is not the only way. Your injuries have not yet healed, so you should continue to recuperate. Within a day, This King naturally has a way to seize the concealed weapon. ”

After Feng Ningyan heard this, he quickly snatched back Jing Qi’s sword, “Jing Qi, listen to your highness. Why do we have to get rid of Shen Youhuang? That’s because our goal is to protect! Protect the Emperor, protect the land, the common people and even protect the families of everyone in the Prince Yu’s Mansion. No unnecessary sacrifices are allowed, do you understand? ”

Jing Qi nodded in shame.

Seeing that Jing Qi had finally put aside the thought of assassinating him, Shen Lingjue ordered the Prince Yu’s Mansion hidden on the two sides of the canal to retreat and to return back to their homes.

“…”

Deep into the night, after Shen Yusu saw that the emperor was resting, he bid farewell to the imperial concubine and left the place through the Qianyuan Palace.

He first went to the Hail Palace to tell the empress dowager about the king’s recovery for the entire day, then returned to his quarters in Zi Yan Hall. He planned to change his clothes before returning to the epidemic area.

He hastily washed his face, and the ladies came to help him with his crown and clothes. There was a flapping sound, and a snow-white carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill.

Yu Su’s palace maid withdrew, caught the carrier pigeon, and removed the letter. When she saw the letter, she gasped in shock.

He actually did not know that there was actually such a thing as hidden weapon hand bludgeon in the world. Shen Youhuang was so daring to build a large number of hidden weapon hand bludgeon in the underground workshop, he was trying to rebel!

It would be terrible if those hand beams were to flow into the capital!

He carefully looked down, his heart slowly calming down. After tying up the jade belt, he put on his boots and walked out of Zi Yan Hall, then said to the young eunuch beside him: “Leave the palace! “Walk through Yonghe Gate.”

When he reached the door of Yong He’s house, Inspection Department had already brought many Inspection Department servants here. When they saw Shen Yusu, everyone quickly went to pay their respects.

“Sir Zhuang still wants to enter the palace late into the night. Could it be that there is something urgent?” Shen Yusu pretended to have an encounter and asked.

Zhuang Duxing nodded his head: “Yes, this subject has received news, that a group of dangerous weapons are being transported secretly to the capital via boat, I am about to ask the king how to deal with them.”

In fact, the two of them had received Shen Lingjue’s message at the same time, and it was Shen Lingjue who had asked them to meet at the Yong He Sect to deal with this matter together.

Because it was still not convenient for Shen Lingjue to show his face right now, he had no choice but to rely on someone else.

Shen Yusu said calmly: “There’s actually such a thing! For the time being, do not reveal anything. This king will bring Forbidden Army and Zhuang Shaoqing to the dock to investigate.
