Chapter 279 Heartbreak
In the dense forest, a scarred knight climbed up from the ground with some difficulty, supported the ground with his knife, and staggered forward.
Behind him, the sound of horse hooves came again. The knight looked at his horse that fell to the ground and foamed at the ground, a look of despair appeared on his face.
When we set out from outside the customs, there were more than ten people in total. After entering the customs, the more than ten people were divided into three groups, and he was the last group.
Now it seems that no one from the first two groups can successfully reach Chang'an.
They are Heibingtai's personnel stationed outside the customs. This time, they were ordered by Supervisor Zhang Ruo to send important information into the customs.
Just after they stepped into the land inside the pass, the pursuit came one after another.
No one wanted Chang'an to know the specific situation outside the pass.
Gathering his last breath of energy, the knight speeded up. He was not far from Chang'an. He hoped that the person who would respond would arrive quickly. As long as he could send the message out, it wouldn't matter even if he died.
"Go to hell!" A shout came from behind, accompanied by the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air.
The knight turned around and saw a black shadow coming from the sky with a hint of cold light.
He waved his sword to block, and there was a loud bang. The knight fell backwards, and his back hit a tree heavily. When he slid to the ground, he fell to the ground helplessly. , looking at the masked killer approaching with a gun, the knight sighed, and finally failed.
He closed his eyes.
The spear came through the air.
Then he heard a scream.
Huo Di opened his eyes, but could only see a broad figure blocking him behind him.
As the figure walked forward, the knight saw the guy who was chasing him lying on the ground.
A rustling sound came from the woods in the distance,
“Go back and tell your master that if you do these shameful things again, don’t blame me, Mr. Wu. Talk about the rules! When it comes to assassination, harassment, and destruction, no one dares to say that we are the second best!” It's a pity that such a man should be buried for this declining imperial court!" There was a faint voice in the distance.
"Summer insects can't talk about ice, get out!" Spring thunder burst out of his tongue, and a muffled groan came from the distance, and he was actually internally injured by this angry shout.
Commander Wu turned around, walked to the knight, and squatted down.
The knight was surprised and happy, looking at the familiar face in front of him: "Commander Wu, I didn't expect you to come to meet him personally."
"I know it is news from outside the customs, and once I knew it must be important after I had sex. I didn't expect you to come back in person. Qi Lu, thank you for your hard work!" Wu De reached out and patted the other party on the shoulder. Wu De smiled and hugged the other party: "Let's go. Follow me home!”
The information Qi Lu brought back shocked Wu De.
Tens of thousands of troops from Linghuye entered the pass and occupied the east and west of the river. The government and the public were shaken, and Guanlong was unstable. The wealthy families in the world followed suit one after another. On the pretext that the Qing emperor had sidelined the treacherous traitors and Weixiangzi, they began to recruit troops to separate one side. The imperial decrees were already difficult to get out of Luoyang and Chang'an. .
But even though these two places are themselves gathering places for representatives of the world's wealthy families, even now, the only ones left in these places are some people who are used to prop up their appearance, but the power they can use is still extremely large. It's huge, and if they unite, it will be even more terrifying.
Knowing that these people stay here to inquire about information, or even to one day become the internal agents of their own family, but the court cannot do anything to them, they must treat them politely and in accordance with their official positions Pay them wages.
So Wu De felt frustrated.
Just like the people who intercepted and killed Qi Lu today, Wu De knew who they were, but he couldn't tell them, let alone hold those responsible accountable afterwards.
After opening the bloody metal tube and taking out the secret documents and browsing them hastily, Wu De was immediately petrified.
Fortunately, fortunately!
I originally thought that when civil strife broke out in the Qin Dynasty and Linghu Ye led tens of thousands of troops into the pass, the Yuan Kingdom would inevitably invade in a large scale. Even if there were Xiao Changche, Li Dachui and other people outside the pass who understood the righteousness well, they could rely on their How can the strength stop the elite army of the Yuan Kingdom?
Unexpectedly, Li Dachui went deep into the tiger's den, used clever tactics to kill Emperor Yuan, alienated the three heirs to the throne, and plunged the Yuan Kingdom into civil strife.
The Yuan Kingdom, which is constantly fighting internally, may not even be able to defeat Li Dachui outside the Pass. How can it still have the energy to enter the Pass and invade Da Qin?
This is Da Qin’s good fortune!
If Da Qin can quickly end the civil strife and assemble a large army to march out, then it is possible that the Yuan Kingdom, which has been an enemy of Da Qin for hundreds of years, will come to an end.
And for today's court, this news is enough for the court to straighten its back.
There are still strong troops outside the pass who are loyal to the court and can still enter the pass at any time to suppress rebellion. Even if it is just a show, it can scare some people and buy more time for the court.
Running all the way back to Heibingtai, Wu De asked people to settle Qilu, while he ran all the way to He Bing's public hall.
However, there was no one in the public hall, so he told Wu De in writing that He Bing was out on official business and would not be back for at least three to five days.
Wu De went straight to the fifth underground floor of Heibingtai again, but was rejected again.
Kou Zhong actually went to Luoyang. I don’t know what happened in Luoyang, but I want Kou Zhong to handle it personally.
In the past year, Kou Zhong only went out to the fifth underground floor of Black Ice Platform three or five times at most. But today, in the past three months alone, Kou Zhong has gone out five or six times.
With both the first and second leaders absent, Wu De couldn't help but feel a little wilted.
"Commander Wu, you are also qualified to directly ask for an audience with His Majesty!" Seeing Wu De running around anxiously, Lao Bi Tie Shi, who was helping Koo Zhong with Ji Yi's writing, kindly reminded him.
“Me?” Wu De didn’t react for a moment.
"Of course, Commander Wu, although you are only from the fourth rank, Heibingtai is not an ordinary yamen. With Heibingtai's leadership badge, you can go straight into the palace to see His Majesty!" Old Bi Sticky reminder.
"Thank you for reminding me!" Wu De turned around and ran out quickly. He had been spending more time dealing with foreign affairs, traveling around the country, and when he returned to the headquarters, he habitually relied on He Bing and Kou Zhong never thought that they were also figures in the same party now, and they were out-and-out important ministers in the eyes of others. ”
With Hei Bingtai's waist card, Wu De entered and exited the palace as if he were in a deserted area, coming and going as he pleased. It wasn't until he got close to the palace that someone finally stopped him.
"The humble position is Heibingtai Wu De. This is the badge of the humble position. I have extremely important and urgent business to see Your Majesty!" Looking at the eunuch in front of him, Wu De said eagerly.
"What important official business? Why didn't Heibingtai Kou Dayin come?"
"Dayin went to Luoyang!" Wu De said with a smile: "As for official business, please forgive me for being humble. I can only report to Your Majesty!"
Listening to what Wu De said, the eunuch's expression changed slightly, and he flicked his sleeves and said: "In that case, Commander Wu just wait here while I go and report to Your Majesty. We can’t guarantee when your Majesty will see you. Taoist Master Yi Ming just made a batch of elixir for Your Majesty today. Your Majesty has been refining it since he took the medicine, and I don’t know when he will be free.”
Wu De bowed slightly, but said nothing.
But he never expected that after waiting until the sky darkened and before the emperor announced his presence, someone came to drive him out of the city.
Because the imperial city is about to be locked up.
Even if he is the leader of Black Ice Platform, he cannot stay overnight in the imperial city.
Walking out of the imperial city, Wu De looked back at the majestic city and sighed. He really didn't expect that a eunuch could shut out his majestic Black Ice Commander.
He estimated that the dead eunuch did not report his request to the emperor at all. Now people's hearts are really broken, and no one dares to act like a monster.
The chief eunuch who was beaten to death earlier actually dared to steal the big seal and let Bachelor Zhizhi Gaozhou falsely pass on the imperial edict. His courage was really boundless.
Eunuch Huang was beaten to death, but Bachelor Zhou is still living well in Chang'an. There is no way, who would let him get involved with Linghuye! No one in the court wanted to offend Ling Huye to death, and it was really hard to explain this matter clearly, so they could only find another crime to depose Xueshi Zhou.
The world is like this, what can I say? Not to mention that I was rejected today, even Dayin, wasn't he also rejected before?
It’s just that these eunuchs didn’t dare to stop him. It was Yi Ming and the others who stopped Dayin.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the world is like this, are you still in the deep palace, dreaming about the dream that you can enter the realm of fugue by taking drugs?
What will happen even if you enter the wandering world?
Can we save Da Qin from the fire and water?
If this is the case, how could He Qingqiu lose and die?
Wu De suddenly stopped. Why did he think of He Qingqiu at this time?
By the way, He Qingqiu, Li Dachui!
He took out the bloody metal cylinder and held it tightly in his hand.
Anxi Protectorate, the supervisory envoys outside the customs jointly petitioned to establish the Beiting Protectorate, and the protector was not Xiao Changche, but Li Dachui.
In other words, Guanwai has actually determined their leader on their own,
Now they are just asking the court to confirm it.
And Li Dachui is also a descendant of the Li family.
Wu De took a deep breath and shuddered a little at his crazy idea.
He has met Li Dachui and has been in contact with Li Dachui for a long time.
Only such a person is worthy of ruling the world and being the master of the world!
Putting the tube into his arms, Wu De looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, then got on his horse and galloped straight towards a place in the city.
That direction was the residence of Zhang Ruo, the supervisory envoy outside the customs. It was also the headquarters of Li Dachui's Zhiqiuyuan in Chang'an. The person in charge was naturally Zhang Qingyun.
