Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 522 Beating Xiao Qingxian Again (2)
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Qingxian took the decree to thank you, with a hint of joy in his heart. Ye Wensong participated in the scientific examination under the pseudonym Gao Han, and he has already committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. As long as he catches him by himself, it will be a great achievement. At that time, he will definitely be appreciated by the emperor. , Add officials and become nobles.

As the sun set, Ye Wensong rode a maroon horse, galloping towards the palace like lightning. He drank a few more glasses at noon and woke up a little late. You hour will arrive soon. He must speed up to enter the palace, otherwise, it will be delayed. If you are on duty, you will be punished severely if you violate the military regulations.

The imperial palace was dignified and majestic as usual, the vermilion glazed tiles were ancient and noble, simple and elegant, and six young and tall guards with long swords were guarding the gate of the palace.

Ye Wensong stopped his fast horse and was about to turn over, but he heard a strange fluctuation in the silent air. He fixed his eyes, followed the sound, and saw a high palace wall, and the sound of breathing behind the palace wall was very soft. Shallow, but he has deep inner strength and can hear clearly.

The palace suddenly doubled or tripled its security, and all the guards were arranged behind the palace gate. It didn't seem like a normal dispatch, but rather like setting up a trap, waiting for someone to automatically enter the urn!
How is this going?

Standing behind the palace wall, Xiao Qingxian couldn't wait for Ye Wensong for a long time, so he couldn't help but frowned: It's already the hour of You, but Ye Wensong still hasn't come in, what is he doing outside the palace gate?

Puzzled in his heart, he poked his head out quietly and looked out.

Ye Wensong was staring at the high wall, thinking about the various reasons for the heightened security. Seeing Xiao Qingxian's familiar half-face, he narrowed his eyes suddenly: The exchange time has passed, Xiao Qingxian should be on duty in the palace. How could you stand behind the palace wall?Their Imperial Forest Army patrolled the palace, but they were not responsible for guarding the palace gates.

Xiao Qingxian was startled when he saw Ye Wensong's gaze, and subconsciously fell back under the palace wall. He didn't know that his sneaky deeds made Ye Wensong's heart ring loudly: Xiao Qingxian didn't get along with him, even though he was under his command. Jun, but never afraid of him, every time I see him, I am very proud.

But just now Xiao Qingxian was so cautious, afraid of being discovered by him, as if he had done something bad and was afraid of being caught by him. Could it be that the guards behind the palace wall came to catch him!
That's right, Xiao Qingxian is Xiao Qingyu's younger brother, and Xiao Qingyu knows his true identity, so it's not surprising to tell Xiao Qingxian that Xiao Qingxian expose him for his meritorious service.

His identity as Gaohan in Luoyang is real, and he is not afraid of investigation, but the people in Prince Qi's mansion want his life, so he can't escape. It seems that he, the Imperial Forest Army, has done his best.

Ye Wensong sighed softly, turned the horse's head, and galloped back quickly, setting off a stream of light smoke on the solid ground.

Xiao Qingxian was startled, and shouted in shock: "Ye Wensong wants to escape, catch him quickly."

"Yes!" The guards took the order, jumped out of the high wall in an instant, and stabbed Ye Wensong with their swords.

Ye Wensong's eyes flashed a sneer, while galloping his horse, he swung his long sword. The fierce sword energy opened up the ultimate move of the palace guards. The overwhelming pressure made the palace guards only able to parry, but not to fight back. One by one, they were kicked off the fast horse and fell to the ground. The pain caused dizziness, tinnitus, and pain all over the body.

Ye Wensong is the grandson of Ye Xiangfu, and his high-strength martial arts has been taught by a famous teacher. Of course, these ordinary palace guards will not be his opponents!

Xiao Qingxian's eyes sank, he drew out his long sword and stabbed Ye Wensong.

The corner of Ye Wensong's mouth curled up, and he swung his sword to meet him. For a moment, everyone saw two silver figures wrestling up and down, left and right, and couldn't tell who was who, fierce and changeable. The guards watching the moves were dazzled, and the gust of sword energy blew towards their faces, making their cheeks sore.

The martial arts of the two were evenly matched, and it was impossible to tell the winner in a short time. The fierce fighting sound shocked the eardrums, and the guards who stood watching the battle suddenly woke up, their eyes flashed, they saw the gap, and stabbed Ye Wensong with their swords.

Ye Wensong was caught off guard and was stabbed in the shoulder. There was sharp pain, and his movement of swinging the sword was half a beat slow.

Xiao Qingxian's eyes froze, and the tip of the sword turned to Ye Wensong's chest. Unexpectedly, the moment the sword tip touched his clothes, a white ball fell from the sky and fell heavily on the ground. There was only a bang, and the white ball exploded. There was a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth, and the guards, choked by the thick smoke, coughed repeatedly.

Quickly waved his hands and waved away the smoke, the world was empty, Ye Wensong and the horse had disappeared, Xiao Qingxian gritted his teeth in hatred: he ran away, and all his hard work was wasted, it is extremely abominable.

When the news reached the Imperial Study Room, Long Yan was furious: "There are so many people, they can't even catch Gao Han, they are really a bunch of trash, pull them down, and each person will hit fifty big boards!"

According to the contents of Xiao Qingxian's memorial, the emperor was skeptical and arrested Gao Han mainly to find out the truth of the matter. If Gao Han didn't resist and took the initiative to come with Xiao Qingxian, he would order the dark guards to investigate carefully and return his innocence. Unexpectedly, Gao Han escaped , I really have a guilty conscience.

"Your Majesty, calm down, the lowly officials were going to catch him, but unexpectedly, an expert came secretly and rescued him." Xiao Qingxian knelt in the middle of the study, speaking hastily and earnestly.

The emperor's eyes froze: "Does he still have accomplices?"

"Yes." Xiao Qingxian nodded his head heavily. When the white ball fell, he saw clearly that it was not thrown by Ye Wensong or the guards, but someone else.

The emperor's sharp eyes narrowed sharply, and he must be a master if he could rescue Gao Han in front of the palace guards: "Who recommended Gao Han to join the Imperial Forest Army?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's Shangguan Taiwei!" The shrill voice came from a young eunuch. When Shangguan Taiwei and the commander of the Yulin Army were talking, he happened to pass by and heard their conversation clearly.

"Xuan summon the Shangguan Taiwei." The emperor gave the order coldly, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Qingxian heaved a sigh of relief quietly, the emperor asked Shangguan Taiwei why, he probably wouldn't pay attention to them anymore, what reason could he find to quit?

While thinking about it, the emperor's indifferent order sounded in my ears: "You guys are not good at doing things, causing the criminals to escape. Each of you go down and get thirty big boards."

Xiao Qingxian was stunned, and frowned tightly. The guards did not catch Gao Han, so they did dereliction of duty, so they were punished accordingly, but he was a meritorious person who reported Gao Han. Why did the emperor punish him?
Seeing the guards leaving the study room and preparing to escort them away, the emperor still had no intention of pardoning him, Xiao Qingxian couldn't help but say: "Your majesty, humble job..."

"Hmm!" The emperor looked up at him, his handsome face was not angry but his sharp eyes were daunting.

Xiao Qingxian was stunned by the shock, and when he reached the tip of his mouth, he spun around and changed the content: "The humble official is willing to accept the punishment... Thank you Lord Long En..."
