Chapter 249 Zhao Duan: Anyone who dares to leave will be regarded as treason!
Stolen...stolen...
This sentence was like a huge stone smashing into the lake in the hall, setting off huge waves in everyone's heart.
Zhao Duan looked at Haitang's approaching figure, his expression obviously frightened.
"Firearms...stolen!"
Xue Shence stood up abruptly, and the face of this "Army God" who was unsmiling and famous for his mastery in military management was moved.
There was a compelling light in his eyes.
Beside him, the equally powerful Minister of War, Governor Wang, Ma Yan and other famous military officers were also shocked.
Subconsciously, he turned his gaze to the chief of the firearms battalion and the commander of the Shenji battalion responsible for defense.
However, the drunken Chen Gui only had a blank expression on his face, as if he had not yet recovered from the bad news.
Shi Meng's eyes widened, he opened his mouth and said in silence: "How is that possible?!"
At this moment, his drunkenness disappeared, and he woke up in a frightened moment.
He stared closely at the female detective who arrived at the banquet hall.
Many of the people present knew Zhaoya, the master of Narcissus Hall with a mysterious background.
Seeing that it was her who came to report, I couldn't help but have doubts.
When Haitang stepped into the hall and searched for Zhao Duan, she first saw clearly the noble figure sitting on the main seat.
Her movements froze and her eyes widened:
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?!"
She didn't expect that the empress would be here tonight.
At this moment, Xu Zhenguan also stood up. Her face was equally solemn and ugly, and she asked directly:
"What about the Firearms Bureau? How did you know!"
"I...I..."
Haitang was stunned for a moment, instinctively awed by the empress' gaze, and had the urge to reveal the truth.
"I ordered her to keep an eye on the firearms bureau for me."
At the critical moment, Zhao Duan came to the rescue.
brush--
Eyes focused on him one after another, Zhao Duan showed no expression on his face and said in a deep voice:
"I was worried about the safety of the Firearms Bureau, so I asked her to take care of it there for me."
After briefly explaining this sentence, Zhao Duan stared at Haitang and slowly narrowed his eyes: "What did you see? Don't be anxious, explain it carefully."
Haitang received the "secret signal" instantly, got off the donkey along the slope, and said:
"Zhang Han and I took people to the firearms bureau. We were supposed to assist in defense, but unexpectedly, when we arrived, we found that people in the yamen were dead or unconscious, and the drawings were missing..."
She recounted it quickly.
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Including Zhao Duan, their expressions became extremely strange.
According to the plan, the person who came to report at this moment should be someone from the Firearms Bureau Yamen, but Haitang came back in person and spoke in such detail.
This means that those who raided the firearms bureau are probably real "anti-thieves".
Playing the role of "anti-thieves", they were a step too late...
"That's unreasonable!"
The Minister of War's face turned pale, he slapped the case and said angrily:
"What a courage, what a courage! Whoever did this must be a traitor and rebel against the party!"
Another Privy Council Attaché was also heartbroken and even more furious:
"How dare they? At this time..."
Halfway through, he got stuck.
Everyone also reacted.
Yes, precisely because no one dared to think that the rebels would take action at this juncture and make bold and unconventional moves.
So... I gave the other party a chance.
For a moment, the faces of all the generals became extremely ugly.
"Firearms...my firearms..."
Chen Gui, who was drunk, realized what he was doing and wailed and let out a shrill scream.
Xue Shence was even more shocked and angry.
After a few months, it was stolen again!
Both times happened under the eyes of him, the Privy Councilor.
Especially, it was he who held this celebration party...
Xue Shence felt his face burning with pain.
He turned to look at the empress and saw that Xu Zhenguan's noble face was covered with a thick layer of "frost".
The phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light, as if there were countless swords, sharp and sharp.
"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duties and allowed thieves to steal the country's important weapons. I sincerely ask for your permission. I will lead the troops to search for you! The thieves will be caught and brought to justice!"
Shi Meng, who was as tall as a bear, stepped out, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly.
His back was already wet with cold sweat.
He, the commander, was inevitably to blame for this incident, and Shi Meng was eager to perform meritoriously.
One word awakens the dreamer.
In an instant, five military camps, three thousand camps, Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards... Commanders of the Forbidden Army stepped out one after another, asking for orders to go to battle.
Even Xue Shence spoke up, begging for permission to search personally.
Xu Zhenguan's face was livid, and he looked at a group of generals who were asking for battle, but he ignored them at all. Instead, he walked through the crowd and looked at Zhao Duan:
"Zhao Qing, what do you think we should do?"
At this moment, even Xu Zhenguan himself had the urge to rise into the sky and search.
However, Zhao Duan's next words caused the entire hall to fall silent:
"I believe that the top priority is to seal off the banquet hall immediately. No general is allowed to take a step out of the hall!"
Zhao Duan grinned, not smiling, but with a murderous look, like an old hunter staring at his prey.
"Qiang!"
He flicked the finger holding the hilt of the sword, and the frost sword with cold light was unsheathed.
With a sword in hand, he stood at the door, blocked the exit, and said fiercely:
"Whoever dares to go out will be deemed to be treason!"
嘠——
At this moment, everyone was stunned, and Haitang looked at him blankly, not knowing why.
"Zhao Qianshi, what is this..." someone couldn't help but ask.
The next second, the gloomy voice of the great eunuch Ma Yan also sounded: "That's right! No one is allowed to leave! Your Majesty must not forget that the mole in the army who stole firearms last time has not yet been eliminated!"
In one sentence, the key point is revealed.
Everyone wakes up.
Yes!
There is probably a rebel hidden among the people present.
And tonight's firearm theft was the work of the rebel again?
Once everyone is allowed to leave, the rebels in the army will have the opportunity to contact the rebels and even deliberately cover them up.
Shi Meng, who was kneeling on one knee and sweating heavily on his forehead, realized that his move to ask for a fight was a taboo. Zhao Duan swept his sword across the faces of the ministers, trying to see the flaws, but failed.
Xu Zhenguan raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at these generals with increasingly cold eyes.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Qianshi is right. The generals in the field must not leave this place. It would be more appropriate to leave it to Zhao Qianshi and lead his trusted men to go out and search for him."
Xue Shence sighed and proposed a plan.
However, he was interrupted by Zhao Duan shaking his head:
"No need!"
Then, under everyone's confused gazes, Zhao Duan, dressed in rich clothes and holding a long sword, was slowly pacing at the door of the inner hall.
The moonlight emerged from the clouds behind him, reflecting the courtyard like water, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of light.
Zhao Duan suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to send anyone to search. I just want to ask your Majesty and all of you to wait here."
wait?
“What are you waiting for?”
The one who spoke was Haitang, who looked confused next to him.
She really wanted to say, our plan has failed. Do you still want to continue the deceptive tactics at this time?
Yes, Haitang believed that Zhao Duan was trying to exploit the situation at this moment.
Carrying out the so-called method of fraud.
But it's already this time... isn't the point of catching secret spies?
“Waiting for someone.”
Zhao Duan spoke concisely and calmly, speaking these two words.
He raised his eyes, looked over the heads of the people in the field, and looked at the empress.
Xu Zhenguan took a deep look at him, opened her red lips lightly, and took Tianxian in her mouth:
"Accurate!"
…
…
In the night.
In the bamboo forest in the southern suburbs.
Black shadows were running quickly.
This was the bamboo forest that Zhao Duan traveled through. In the darkness, the bamboo forest was as quiet as the deep sea.
"Crunch, crunch..."
The only sound was the sound of boots stepping on the old bamboo leaves on the ground while running.
The leader was the hooded spy leader.
At this moment, when he raised his hand, everyone stopped and ordered and prohibited.
"It's time to get out of the tracking range." He looked back in the direction of the Firearms Bureau and said.
The spy beside him smiled and said:
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Those idiots in the imperial court don't have long memories. They thought many brothers might have to die before they could succeed. They didn't expect the defense in the yamen to be so weak."
Another person also laughed and said:
"Thanks to the wisdom of the leader, we didn't expect to take action tonight. The people in the court were unprepared and not surprised.
But the leader overestimated them, and even divided into two groups, so as to create suspicious formations and create false traces to distract the pursuers... But we were overly cautious. "
The spies laughed lightly.
Others took advantage of the break to wipe the blood on the knife with a handkerchief.
The hooded leader was slightly uneasy and said:
"I always feel like there are eyes watching us along the way."
Several secret spies beside him said blankly: "Is there any?"
The leader was not sure. He hesitated and said:
"Continue to escape and escape from the capital city overnight. With this blueprint, it is enough to return to the prince."
However, after the words fell, a lazy voice came from above everyone's heads:
"Escape? Where are you going to escape?"
In the bamboo forest.
The autumn wind suddenly picked up, and the extremely tall black bamboos, which were as tall as trees, swayed and made a ghostly rustling sound.
"Who?!"
The spies were shocked and raised their heads subconsciously.
In the sky, the wind was moving and the clouds were moving, and the full moon hidden by the clouds was just exposed, illuminating the top of the bamboo forest.
The leader's pupils suddenly narrowed.
I saw at the top of a bamboo, the bamboo joint was slightly bent by two boots.
The owner of the boots is a short and fat young man.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and his heavy body seemed to have no weight, falling on the bamboo branches.
He was wearing a wrinkled and dirty priest's robe. If you look carefully, you can see that the black priest's robe is actually outlined with golden threads that uniquely belong to the red-dot boy.
Behind the fat young man, a thick bamboo tube was carried diagonally on a hemp rope.
"Priest of Tianshi Mansion! Let's go!"
The leader shouted angrily, and a group of secret spies ran towards the distance like arrows.
Gongshu Tianyuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the group of insects below, and shook his head, with a hint of disdain on his round face:
"If you have friends coming from afar... don't leave."
He waved his hand gently.
Rays of golden light suddenly shot out from the wide sleeves.
Those were strange copper coins, each with wings, extremely fast and sharp.
As the leader ran, he heard only screams.
He looked back hastily and was shocked to see a secret agent behind him "thumping" and "thumping" like wheat straw harvested by a sickle, lying in pieces.
A stream of blood burst out from everyone's back.
Then he threw himself to the ground, motionless!
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in this team!
“Shen Zhang Realm!”
The leader's heart sank.
Then, I saw the fat priest in the distance suddenly made a "thousand catty drop", pressing the bamboo under his feet into a bow shape.
The collapse reached the extreme, and then the body was like a cannonball, shooting straight towards him from a long distance!
“Well done!!”
The leader shouted angrily, and while running, he drew the knife with his right hand and turned around to strike back!
Buzz!
This knife was extremely fierce. The wind of the knife swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, as if dead leaves were all over the sky, following the blade like a shadow.
Majestic.
On the ground of the bamboo forest, a shocking huge groove was suddenly struck.
However, Gongshu Tianyuan was nowhere to be seen.
"Don't look, I'm behind you." A faint voice sounded.
The leader suddenly turned around and saw Gongshu Tianyuan standing quietly in front of him under the moonlight, holding a small wooden figure in his hand and throwing it forward.
The little man whom he called "the toasting barbarian" stood on the ground, respectfully raising his glass to the leader.
Toast!
The town objects are activated!
When a barbarian toasts, the person being toasted has his whole body controlled and must drink a glass of wine to escape from the control.
But where is the wine here?
