Chapter 192 One stone stirs up a thousand waves
There was chaos outside the imperial city, and inside the imperial city, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves. The officials whispered, some were panicked, and some were not aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Emperor Kaiyuan encountered an attack from the Western Regions for the first time after taking office. He was in a panic and could barely stabilize his figure.

Chu Qingyun shook her head, wasting time like this, Beicheng would be in danger.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Qingyun tell the truth, how about now?" Emperor Kaiyuan said.

Chu Qingyun blessed Fushen: "Your Majesty, this crisis is all because the enemy wants to disintegrate us from within. We must immediately find out who is behind it and put an end to their conspiracy."

"Qingyun is right, but now the Western Regions are also eyeing the tiger. Once we mobilize a large number of troops in the city, and there is no reinforcements on the border of Xijian, the Viper Department will be in a desert." Emperor Kaiyuan hesitated, neither thinking about Xijian. That fertile land, and I don't want to put myself in danger.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have already thought of a way."

When Chu Qingyun said this, everyone looked at her, some with anticipation, while others were full of disdain.

Lu Jinzhou frowned tightly, he knew what Chu Qingyun was going to say.

He knew that Zhongzhou was in danger, but Xijian needed him, and the people of Xijian needed him, so he had to leave.

Chu Qingyun raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and glanced at him: "This time, Master Lu is going to have to work hard, please leave with a large army."

There was an uproar all of a sudden, and there were discussions one after another.

Liu Shangshu, newly promoted by Emperor Kaiyuan, was the first to disagree: "Lord Chu, Xijian is indeed very important, but if Major General Lu leaves, where do you put your majesty's safety?"

As soon as these words came out, some old men who saw clearly that Qing Yun was not pleasing to the eye all stood up.

"Yes, Zhongzhou is the foundation of the country, how can there be no people?"

"In my opinion, it's better to hang the army from Dongjian to Xijian."

Chu Qingyun gave Liu Shangshu a cold look: "It takes ten days to get there from Dongjian to Xijian. Master Liu, do you want people from Dongjian to go to Xijian to collect the corpses of the people?"

"You..." Liu Shangshu was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that he was Concubine Yan's nominal father, Chu Qingyun didn't continue to argue with him, and looked directly at Kaiyuan Emperor: "Your Majesty, the King of the Western Tomb is recuperating on the couch, and Lord Lu knows the situation in Xijian best."

"Besides, the Viper Division's sneak attack on our army has already caused casualties. If there is no support, Xijian will be in chaos."

Emperor Kaiyuan pondered for a while: "But Zhongzhou..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Within three hours, I will return to find him and solve your majesty's worries."

Emperor Kaiyuan didn't speak, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Then Master Lu will accompany me to wait here for three hours."

Chu Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, the battlefield was changing rapidly, in these three hours, how many people have fallen under the enemy's sword.

But monarchs and ministers are different, although Chu Qingyun has complaints in her heart, she can only urge herself to be faster.

She left the hall with a pale face, and Lu Jinzhou followed her closely: "Don't panic, I have arranged for a large army to go first, and I will chase after it quickly."

Chu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief: "I will find out about that person as soon as possible."

"Well, I believe you."

In the next second, Chu Qingyun had already gone a long way.

Xiaoyu was already on standby at the gate of the palace. As soon as Chu Qingyun saw him, he immediately asked, "Have you found anything about the foreigners who have lived in Zhongzhou for the past month?"

Xiaoyu nodded: "It's a clue, but it's very strange. The number of occupancy in this month is five times that of normal. I have already marked the number of occupants in each small shop, girl, look."

Xiaoyu handed him the list.

Chu Qingyun continued to read while carefully reading, "Is there any other information?"

Xiaoyu shook his head: "I have searched all over Zhongzhou, and there is no missing information."

Obviously, the people behind the scenes are very cunning. In each store, several people are arranged to stay in, which can not only deceive people, but also hide themselves deeper.

If they searched every store and every room, they couldn't guarantee that they would find the person behind the scenes within three hours.

Xiaoyu also remembered that his head was covered with sweat: "Girl, there are so many people, even if I ask all the gangsters to go out and search, it is impossible to find them."

Chu Qingyun raised her hand: "Don't worry, there must be some clues that I haven't noticed."

Chu Qingyun closed her eyes, recalling the details of the explosion half a month ago.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked towards Central Avenue.

"Girl, what did you think of?"

Chu Qingyun pointed in the direction of Hualou: "I was misled that day because of the rut. I remember that a man yelled at that time, saying that he saw the rut."

At that time, she was in a hurry to leave, and she didn't observe the man carefully, let alone pay attention to what he said.

Looking back now, he seems to have said: "What a strange pattern."

The pattern appeared in Chu Qingyun's mind, which is the pattern of a flying dragon in the sky. Although the common people cannot use this kind of wheel, everyone knows very well that only the royal family can use this kind of dragon pattern rut. Why does this person show surprise?
Chu Qingyun closed her eyes. The person and clothes at that time must have been very ordinary, so ordinary that she didn't have any impression. The man was wearing a straw hat, covering his hair and eyes.

Obviously, he was deliberately concealing his identity.

Seeing clearly, Qingyun clearly remembered that when he looked down at the rut, he once glanced at her, and the only thing he remembered about that glance should be...

mole.

There was a black mole in the middle of his forehead, which was as big as half a copper coin.

But this is still equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack, Chu Qingyun pondered for a while, and suddenly said:
"Xiaoyu, send someone to investigate. In all the inns in Beicheng, there are men in their thirties to 50 years old. There is a mole on his forehead, and he must be wearing a straw hat."

Xiaoyu nodded immediately.

Chu Qingyun also headed towards the north city gate, he was going to a place, this place, apart from His Majesty, only the first one dared to trespass.

Chu Qingyun walked to the dilapidated temple outside the north city gate, and an old man was lying inside with disheveled clothes.

Chu Qingyun frowned: "My lord, Xiaoyu is cleaner than you, what are you?"

"I'm completing the task Xiaoyu gave me."

Chu Qingyun looked at his injured watermelon seeds: "You? Are you counting watermelon seeds?"

"Yes. Xiaoyu said, as long as I count the watermelon seeds, I will tell me another story about his childhood at night."

Chu Qingyun raised his forehead, Xiaoyu must be tired of this old man.

"Don't count, I'll take you to play with the big ones."

"What's the big one? I'm not going."

"Old man, do you still want to see Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu is the child I saved."

When the old man heard this, he became anxious: "I'll go, I'll go, where are we going?"

"You'll know when you go."
