During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

King Yuzhang shouted, "Leave them here."

Xanthium immediately flew forward and crossed the crowd to block the door, blocking the way with the momentum of one man standing in front of the gate and ten thousand others unable to stop.

King Yuzhang rushed towards Zhang Bin. Just as he was approaching Zhang Bin, he saw a sneer on his lips.

King Yuzhang's heart trembled. When he turned around, it was already too late, and a long knife was placed on his head.

Is he going to die?

King Yuzhang never thought that he would die so aggrievedly, but Sun Wu did not move downward, but stopped in mid-air.

Zhang Bin's smile stiffened.

King Yuzhang looked at the wall with confusion on his face. Yuan Liren was holding a bow and arrow, pointing in their direction.

Seeing King Yuzhang looking over, Yuan Li curled his lips and waved to the people behind him. A large number of archers climbed up the wall and aimed at the people in the yard. At this moment, everyone stopped moving.

Looking at the densely packed heads on the wall, Zhang Bin immediately felt cold, but he didn't intend to give up just like that. Anyway, he would die in Luo Tingye's hands, so it was better to do something before he died.

He shouted, raised his long sword and slashed at King Yuzhang, wanting to die with him, but only two whooshing sounds were heard.

Zhang Bin knelt on the ground with a bang. A sharp sword was inserted into each of his thighs. The sword penetrated his thigh and was inserted directly into the ground. It was equivalent to two brackets supporting his body. Unable to lean forward or backward, he could only remain in this position, kneeling.

The severe pain made him scream.

Xiangu was about to step forward to make a stab, but was stopped by King Yuzhang. He took out his handkerchief, wiped his hands, and said to Yuan Lida who walked in from the main door: "I leave this man to you, don't let him die." , I still have something to ask him."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

King Yuzhang walked out calmly, Zhang Bin frowned angrily, "Young prince, if you do this, how can you have the face to see the old prince?"

King Yuzhang paused, turned to Yuan Li and said, "Do you know where my second brother is?"

Yuan Li glanced at Zhang Bin, whose pupils shrank sharply, and said with a smile: "Not long ago, we did find out the whereabouts of the second son of the Prince of Yuzhang. Unfortunately, by the time our people arrived, he had already been strangled to death. The other party The attack was so fast and so hard that even the tea was not cold."

King Yuzhang stared at Yuan Li's face.

Yuan Li let him look at him.

King Yuzhang withdrew his gaze and said sarcastically: "Seek the skin of a tiger, are you satisfied with the result?"

Zhang Bin was speechless, his face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was in pain or angry.

Xanthium found that Sun Wu's chest was still alive, so he stepped forward and stabbed Sun Wu's chest without thinking.

Sun Wu struggled to raise his head, his eyes widened, and blood kept pouring out of his throat. As Xanthium pulled out the knife, Sun Wu twitched a few times and died.

Yuan Li glanced at the position where Xanthium had taken action and gave him an appreciative look.

Xanthium's feelings towards Yuan Li are very complicated. His appearance saved them many times along the way, but he also caused them to suffer a lot before because of how many people they lost because of him.

King Yuzhang glanced at Sun Wu's body and nodded slightly to Yuan Li, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for saving me today. I owe you a favor, and I will repay it if I have the opportunity."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Before leaving the capital, His Majesty gave the Supervisory Department a death order. His life must not be in danger. If he dies, I'm afraid none of us will be able to survive."

King Yuzhang's heart trembled. Xanthium didn't believe it, "The Emperor really said that."

Yuan Li did not explain, "Whether it is true or false, I believe the prince has his own judgment in his mind."

Zhang Bing, the front legionnaire, was arrested in Qingzhou, and Huo Guoxin, the back legionnaire, was also decapitated by General Yu. His two sons were also killed in battle. Only a younger son less than one year old and two daughters under ten years old survived. .

Huo Shangshu fell completely ill and submitted his resignation a few days later.

After much hesitation, Luo Tingye did not agree to Huo Shangshu, and promoted his two sons, and even went out of the palace to visit Huo Shangshu when Huo Shangshu was seriously ill.

It didn't take long for Huo Shangshu's illness to improve.

This made people who had been watching the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry feel disappointed. However, looking at Huo Shangshu's gray hair, everyone felt relieved again. Even if Huo Shangshu was fine this time, he would be in this position at his age. Can't sit still for long.

"Huo Guoxin was poisoned to death. It was his concubine who poisoned him. When our people arrived, the concubine also committed suicide by taking poison. General Ye searched for a long time but could not find Xiao Qi's identity. We had no choice but to announce that Huo Guoxin was dead." Sun Ming lowered his head and reported.

Luo Tingye held the folder from Qingzhou in his hand, but it did not explain Huo Guoxin's death.

"There is no mention of this matter in the records of the Ming governor."

"The governor of the Ming Dynasty probably thought that Huo Guoxin committed suicide by taking poison. Before he died, he took his concubine with him and died together. He didn't think much about it. The concubine was originally from Yuzhou and had a very clean foundation. Even the Supervision Department spent some time Only then did I find out that her brother is working as a steward in the Xie family."

"That means the governor doesn't know about it."

Sun Ming nodded and said: "I don't think I knew anything about it, but General Ye seems to have suspicions. However, there is no evidence, so General Ye strictly ordered the garrison not to mention this matter."

Luo Tingye closed the fold and asked, "Where are Jiang Qian and the others?"

"Calculating the days, they should reach Jiangnan. The water route they took this time will take them seven to eight days."

"Send more people to secretly protect Marquis Xuanwen."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. All the elites of the Supervision Department have been dispatched and they will definitely protect Marquis Xuanwen."

Luo Tingye breathed a sigh of relief, "If there's nothing else, just step back first."

"Your Majesty, Zhang Bin has won over many people, do you want to continue? Many people in the Cha Dynasty have been associated with this person."

Keep checking and you will definitely gain something.

Luo Tingye shook his head with sore brows and said, "Forget it, what happened in the past is in the past, archive what you found, and whoever works in the future will have to settle the old and new accounts together."

"Yes."

Feng Jizhong walked in at this time, "Your Majesty, the Queen and Princess Protector have left the palace. I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with Your Majesty at noon."

"Where did you go when you left the palace at this time?"

"I heard that I went to watch the parade."

Luo Tingye then remembered that today was the day when the imperial examination list was announced, and as usual, they would be paraded through the streets.

At this time, he suddenly realized what he was saying to Sun Ming who had not yet walked out of the door: "Sun Ming, quickly mobilize people to protect the queen."
