I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 230

When he heard the first news, the emperor's sinister eyes had already turned to Ning Ziheng outside.Ning Ziheng couldn't hear what was going on inside from the outside, so naturally he didn't respond.

And when he heard the second news, the commander of the forbidden army who had been in the palace had already knelt down, and retorted angrily: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. There are only two copies of the complete version of the palace defense map, and one is in His Majesty's hands." , a copy is in the hands of the humble minister, it is impossible for these thieves to have it."

As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the commander asked for a defense map for comparison. In comparison, there was almost no difference.

The defense map can only be drawn if one has to understand the operation method of the Imperial City Imperial Army. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to know about it. Even the members of the Imperial Army cannot know the completed defense map. It came from the Commander of the Forbidden Army.

The commander of the imperial army suddenly reacted, and immediately kowtowed and shouted for grievances, claiming that it was definitely not from him, but it is even more impossible for the emperor to get it.The only possibility is that something went wrong on the side of the Forbidden Army Commander.The commander's face was pale, and he had no way to argue, only to cry for injustice.

Even if he still has doubts, letting the assassin pass the search of the imperial army and successfully enter the palace to assassinate is the biggest dereliction of duty in itself, and the death penalty cannot be escaped.

"Remove his post, enter the sky prison, and hand it over to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation." The emperor almost gritted his teeth and looked at the person he once trusted, and his eyes swept over Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng's complexion also changed at this time. He has nothing to do with the defense map, but the commander of the Imperial Army is his confidant. He used to be his deputy general. After making meritorious service with him four years ago, he was promoted to the Imperial Army command.

If there is a problem with the command, then he will inevitably be suspected by the emperor.

Zhao Cheng only felt that what he encountered tonight was almost a feeling of imminent disaster, his legs were weak, and he wished he could kneel down.

The emperor glanced coldly, and finally landed on Huo Luo's head, "From today onwards, Huo Luo will be in command of the Imperial Army."

Zhao Cheng's pupils shrank. The emperor really didn't trust them anymore. The position of protecting the imperial city was handed over to outsiders and not to their own people. Is it really suspicious, or... is it finally time to kill the donkey.Now even Zhao Cheng began to doubt the emperor's intentions.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This is several levels in a row!

Huo Luo calmly stepped forward to receive the order.

Yuechen looked at everything, feeling relieved in his heart, and sighed again, everything was as arranged by His Highness, and he admired His Highness, even Huo Luo couldn't draw a defensive map by himself after observing for a long time, but His Highness went around the city for a few weeks, with The fourth prince went to the guardhouse a few times under the guise, and he actually understood the law of defense. This kind of talent is so admirable that he can't even envy him.However, Lin Qingyang, a young painting genius, also contributed to this. I didn't expect that the two people would work together to make something that was as close to the real thing as possible.

Soon, the commander of the imperial army was stripped of his official uniform and dragged down in embarrassment. Before he could react, Ning Ziheng was caught and interrogated in front of the emperor alone. Naturally, Ning Ziheng refused to admit that he had never done anything. things.Whenever Xueyuan Pavilion receives an order related to the royal family, it must be reviewed by the pavilion owner, otherwise it will not be accepted at all, so Ning Ziheng is sure that those people are not from Xueyuan Pavilion.

However, the Xueyuan Pavilion is originally the power of the emperor. If you get the order of the pavilion master and conduct a direct investigation, you will find that a large number of killers have been hired back and forth, and the number is close to the number of assassins today.In this way, the emperor had to suspect that all of this was arranged by Ning Ziheng.

It really is a poisonous snake. For his adopted son, he can do any crazy things. The emperor was guilty of Qi Ci's death, so he naturally wondered if Ning Ziheng knew something a long time ago, and deliberately lay in ambush by his side, waiting When the enemies are gathered together, they will find a way to assassinate and retaliate?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but he still asked: "Then do you think someone framed you? Who? Why?"

Ning Ziheng suddenly got stuck, he naturally thought of something, but...

Seeing that Ning Ziheng could not speak, the emperor snorted coldly, directly imprisoned Ning Ziheng in private, and withdrew the Pavilion Master's order of Xueyuan Pavilion.

But Xueyuan Pavilion needs a pavilion master, and the emperor can't take charge now, who else can temporarily replace it?Who else could he trust?Suddenly, the emperor found that his confidants were becoming less and less.

However, the emperor thought of one person.

Not long after, Director Hai with the Pavilion Master's order in his arms, exited the hall tensely.

His mind was almost empty and he walked out when suddenly someone patted his shoulder.

"What's wrong with Director Hai?" Yue Chen said with a smile.

Director Hai calmed down, and raised the corners of his mouth uncontrollably, "I just admire you in my heart, and I'm quite impressed." He patted his chest as he spoke, "Don't worry, the older you are."

Yuechen's eyes brightened slightly, he understood immediately, smiled, and left swayingly.

This night, all the purposes of His Highness's design were achieved.

The prestige of the fourth prince has increased; the emperor and General Zhao are separated; the emperor no longer believes that Ning Ziheng is in charge of Xueyuan Pavilion, and even suspects that Ning Ziheng wants to assassinate him; compared with the close-knit Director Sheng, he will now trust Director Hai who sacrificed his life to save him Huo Luo was also given the duty of guarding the palace.

Now the power around the emperor is even less.

At the same time, system prompts sounded in Lin Qingyang's mind one after another.

[Second task set, task 20: Help the male protagonist win the duty of guarding the palace successfully. 】

[Ding, side mission: assist the hero to obtain the power of Xueyuan Pavilion successfully. 】

[The total points are 2200 points, the plot progress: 88%.Congratulations to the host, the self-rescue mode can be turned on if the points exceed [-]. If you encounter an unsolvable dilemma, you can use the points to directly exchange for the self-rescue mode, and any difficulties will be solved. 】

Lin Qingyang almost took a deep breath. Looking at the progress and points, he was about to burst into tears, okay?Now that there is a hang up, it is estimated that any accident can be remedied, so I am less panicked.

Seeing how Chu Lishu was still waiting for news, I really wanted to tell him that everything was going well.

But soon Yuechen came and told Chu Lishu about the follow-up situation. Huo Luo went to arrange for the guards of the imperial army temporarily and was not here for the time being.

Yue Chen's face was a little worried, he hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Will Ning Ziheng die?" He didn't want to care about Ning Ziheng's life, but Qi Ci...

Chu Lishu shook his head, he didn't know, since the design step, he never thought about what would happen to Ning Ziheng, even if it was death, Ning Ziheng deserved it.

Lin Qingyang's heart moved. In fact, he knew that under this plan, although Ning Ziheng would fail miserably, he would not die.

According to the progress of the original text, the emperor only imprisoned Ning Ziheng temporarily at this time, but Ning Ziheng was unwilling and resented the male lead. They had fought to the death several times, so he had already determined that the male lead was Yuan Ran.He knew that his fate was designed by the hero, and seeing that his situation was over, he took the risk to escape. He thought that even if he died, he would go down with Yuan Ran to meet Qi Ci.

So he came directly to assassinate the male lead, that's how Chu Lishu was in danger, and happened to be rescued by the saint, Ning Ziheng was arrested again, the emperor was furious and wanted to kill him, but he didn't take the opportunity to report on Yuan Ran. Before he died, he also told the male protagonist about the identity of the previous Pavilion Master of Xueyuan Pavilion. It happened that at that time, in order to help Chief Hai to gain the trust of the emperor, he arranged for Chief Hai to rescue him. The power of the court was deceived.

Now, although the sequence is a little different, the general result is the same.

Lin Qingyang felt that Ning Ziheng probably wouldn't want to kill Chu Lishu in the future, after all Qi Ci came back, if the emperor didn't take action, then Ning Ziheng might not necessarily die.

But Chu Lishu was worried about Ning Ziheng.

After all, because of the sudden appearance of Qi Ci, Chu Lishu exposed a lot. He was not sure if Ning Ziheng would think of anything, so he had already given an order to Director Hai. Once the emperor trusted Director Hai, he would take the opportunity to arrange it. People watched Ning Ziheng.As long as Ning Ziheng wants to tell the truth, he will do everything possible to silence him.

So now whether Ning Ziheng will die or not depends entirely on whether he will get up to deal with them again.

At night, the envoys finally returned to their courtyard noisy and noisy. The saint was concerned about Qi Ci's wounds, but found that there were more than one wound on his body, so she hurriedly asked Qi Ci to seek treatment from the imperial doctor here.

Qi Ci went out alone, but he didn't look for any imperial doctor, but wanted to find the eunuch who made him care.

As a result, just after passing a corner, Qi Ci suddenly felt the cold wind blowing, and Qi Ci reacted immediately, with a backhand blow.But the opponent didn't want to attack him, but wanted to take off his hat and black gauze.

The visitor was a master, and it was a sudden attack. Qi Ci was unprepared and was taken off all his disguise, revealing a face that was almost torn apart by the scar, but he could still see the handsome facial features and his majestic foundation. A handsome young man.

"Brother Qi! It's really you!"

Qi Ci froze, and the tone seemed to be calling him, since there is an eunuch who knows him, there may be others who know him.

Feeling that the other party didn't intend to make another move, Qi Ci also withdrew his hand, but his figure was still tense, like a black panther ready to jump at any time, looking leisurely, but every part of his body implied explosive power.

Four people appeared in front of them.

He had seen them all at banquets, and one of them had even taken the lost eunuch away.

"Hei Yuwei, Ah Wu, are you looking for me?" Qi Ci didn't believe in coincidences, these people were obviously squatting at him.

Huo Luo was quite shocked when he faced Qi Ci directly, "It's really Big Brother Qi, Big Brother Qi! You don't have any impression of us? You don't even remember the name Qi Ci? Are you really amnesiac? "

Qi Ci's eyes flashed, and he carefully examined the expressions on the faces of these people. They didn't know each other, but the expressions seemed very real and not hostile.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Huo Luo became anxious, but Yue Chen stopped Huo Luo, and said directly: "You are Qi Ci, you used to be a general under Prince Yuan Ran of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you went to battle with the prince four years ago. As a result, he disappeared over there and was reported to have died. We are all friends you can trust, Brother Qi, have you lost your memory, maybe you only have the memory of these four years at most, if what I said is correct, you should choose to consider Let’s talk about our statement. There are many people who want to kill you now, including the emperor of our Great Zhou Dynasty. You can’t expose it in front of everyone at will. And I believe that the people of Tianheng Kingdom must not know who you are from, otherwise they would not I will let you go. After all, you were the general who led the army to fight them."

Regardless of whether Qi Ci believes it or not, Yue Chen told him all the truth first to avoid accidents.

But it is impossible for Qi Ci to trust someone just because someone gave him an affectionate performance. His caution was trained by Ning Ziheng and Yuan Ran since he was a child, and even his memory loss is buried in his bones, let alone these few days Years of experience told him never to trust anyone.Now, except for the saint, he hardly believes in anyone.So he opened his mouth and asked tentatively, "Really? Then do I have any relatives? Who is my closest person?"

"You are a criminal slave in the palace, and your relatives are gone. Speaking of the two closest people, one is Prince Yuan Ran, who is your loyal lord, and the other is... your adoptive father, Ning Ziheng, is Didn’t the eunuch you bumped into in the palace just now recognized you?”

As soon as Yue Chen's voice fell, Qi Ci made a sudden move, which caught everyone off guard. He made a false move and wanted to escape, but when he turned around, he found that Chu Lishu had blocked his way. It turned out that his actions had long been blocked by Chu Li Li Shu made a prediction.

But Qi Ci could see that Chu Lishu had no internal strength, so he attacked Chu Lishu without any scruples, but what he didn't expect was that even without internal strength, Chu Lishu could dodge two moves in a row. A little time, enough for Huo Luo to catch up.

In fact, Huo Luo couldn't be regarded as Qi Ci's opponent, he could only barely hold him back.

"Brother Qi, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong with what we said just now? If you have any questions, just ask, and we can answer." Yuechen was stunned. He didn't know why Qi Ci had such a sudden reaction, as if he believed that he was Like a lie.

During the chaos, there was a sudden bump, and the flowerpot shattered behind Qi Ci's head, causing Qi Ci to faint.

Everyone looked at Lin Qingyang who was holding the broken flowerpot in surprise.

Lin Qingyang looked embarrassed, "It won't cause any problems, I have controlled the strength. I just think that if you delay it, it will attract others' attention, and... why are you talking nonsense with a person who has amnesia? Find a chance to let Mu Huichun heal you, maybe you will recover. Although it is a bit troublesome..."

Yue Chen and Huo Luo were directly fooled by Lin Qingyang's operation, and they didn't react for a while.

Chu Lishu nodded in agreement and said, "That's a good proposal. Anyway, after tonight, it's up to Huo Luo to decide whether to enter or leave the imperial city."

Yue Chen immediately patted Huo Luo's head, "Why didn't you think of that?"

Huo Luo retorted: "You're so smart, didn't you think of it?"

So the two immediately discussed the arrangement. Just in case, Chu Lishu gave Qi Ci medicine to prevent him from waking up suddenly, and checked the head that was smashed by Lin Qingyang by the way.

When turning the person over, the back of Qi Ci's neck was inadvertently exposed, and a mark was exposed.

In an instant, Chu Lishu's movements froze, his expression changed suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot in an instant, his hands almost trembled, and because of too much force, blood came out of his teeth directly, and the smell of blood spread in his mouth, but Lin Lin beside him When Qingyang knelt down to ask what was wrong, he instantly calmed down, stretched out his hand to lift Qici's collar, covering the mark, and said slowly, as if his expression had never changed, "It's okay."

But the voice was hoarse.

Lin Qingyang heard it naturally, and worried: "Why is your voice hoarse, is it frozen?"

Chu Lishu, who was squatting, took advantage of the situation and leaned towards Lin Qingyang, as if his whole body was weak, "It seems to be a little tired, let me lean on."

"Wait a minute, I'll give you the robe, I can't let you freeze." Lin Qingyang said as he was about to take off his robe.But he was stopped by Chu Lishu, he couldn't help shrinking into Lin Qingyang's arms, "That's fine."

Lin Qingyang couldn't help laughing, feeling that Chu Lishu was acting like a baby, so he quickly opened his body to make Chu Lishu more comfortable.

"Is he all right?"

"It's okay." Chu Lishu said.

After Yuechen and Huo Luo had settled down, they asked Chu Lishu for instructions, planning to arrange for Mu Huichun to be a young eunuch, and sneak into the palace at night, which required the help of Director Hai.

Just do what you say, after Chu Lishu and Lin Qingyang brought Qi Ci back to the Cultural Museum, Yue Chen had already left the palace and immediately contacted Lu Yi who was guarding outside, and asked them to bring someone here quickly, and then pretended, Bring it back to the palace.

At the same time, the emperor summoned Zhao Cheng, and when he summoned him, he was holding a portrait of Concubine Mei that he had just received from a western painter.This made Zhao Cheng almost kneel down as soon as he came in.

The emperor did not mention the matter of Concubine Mei, but asked him how the commander of the imperial guard should deal with it.Zhao Cheng naturally said to let the emperor deal with it, and the emperor was quite satisfied with this answer, but Zhao Cheng felt uneasy, after much deliberation, he suddenly thought of a way to atone for his crimes and divert the emperor's attention.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. In fact, during today's martial arts competition, I noticed that black feather guard from Tianheng Kingdom..."

On the other hand, Baya also visited the west of the Imperial Palace at night.

When Baya went in, he found that Gosho Nishi was concentrating on something, and the bed he was lying on was filled with details of various major events that happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty recently.

Baya was naturally not in the mood to read these things, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, something is wrong, do you know who is the black feather guard you sent to the competition today?"

Only then did Yusuoxi slowly raise his head, with a look of irritability between his brows and eyes.

"Oh? Who?" Gosho Nishi's tone was serious that Baya had never seen before.

Faced with this powerful aura, Baya couldn't help but feel a little afraid, "It's...it's Qi Ci, the general under Prince Yuan Ran's command, and it's General Qi who I killed personally."

Gosho Nishi was stunned for a moment, and then his dark eyes gradually brightened, as if he had suddenly figured out something, with a last trace of doubt, but the ecstatic expression on his face was almost uncontrollable.

"It's him... If it's him, then wouldn't he... If so, that's right! That's right!"

Baya stared in amazement at Goshonishi's babbling like crazy, and then laughed wildly, the expression on his face became almost ferocious, as if a person who had been dozing off carelessly woke up suddenly and found that there was a prey in front of him, so he immediately adjusted to The excitement of hunting.

Such a scene can't help but make people tremble with fear, "Your Highness...Your Highness, I don't know how that guy Qi Ci survived and how he got into the Black Feather Guard, but this person can't be kept, he...he is The enemy must die. Your Highness, if he is discovered by the Great Zhou Emperor, I don’t know what will happen to him. After all, Qi Ci was not charged with any crimes back then, so... we must promptly..."

Baya made a silent gesture, but was suddenly stared at by Gosho Nishi's cold gaze.

"Qi Ci...you have to live."

"What?! Your Highness, this..."

"I said, don't touch him, this good show is not over yet, no one is allowed to interrupt." Yusuo Nishi showed a slightly crazy smile, and then became vicious again, "Go back, Don't disturb my interest."

Baya's face was extremely ugly, and he scolded the lunatic in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger and leave.

But Qi Ci knew that he had killed his brother, so he must not live, otherwise he would be finished if it was reported back to Xiyue Kingdom.

There is no way to sanction secretly harming people in Xiyue Kingdom, but once it is revealed that mutilating siblings is an irreversible capital crime, it is more serious than other countries, so he must not allow people to expose this point.If the Imperial Palace does not kill Qi Ci, then let him come!
