Chapter 717 The Grand Finale (8)
Ling Mengqi said what he wanted in a concise manner, and in exchange for a token that was unparalleled in the world, the latter also told him with a sad face: "The emperor always loves the former prince with a father's heart. , not the heart of an emperor, that's why he knew that the former prince was not a good candidate to be a prince, let alone an emperor, and he still spared no effort to help him to the throne, but now he has issued such an imperial edict, even if the queen and Xu Jinnian bring the emperor to order the princes, where is the emperor? It will never be calm and there is no reaction, so I guess, the emperor may have encountered an accident, this is my carelessness, and it is my negligence. If you have a chance to save the emperor, please abandon your selfishness and be sure to Stand firm on the position of being a minister, then even if I die, I can rest in peace, I hope you will not make me feel that I am entrusted with inhumanity!"

When he suddenly received the imperial decree last night, Commander Shi knew there was something wrong, but the eight eunuchs who accompanied Gao Yuwang to deliver the decree were all Lianjiazi. Twists and turns, the key point is that when Gao Yuwang asked him to accept the order, his eyes were full of pleading, and when others ignored him, he shook his head almost invisible... After years of tacit understanding with Gao Yuwang, how could he not know Something must have happened to the emperor, but like Gao Yuwang, he was also wary, so he could only hand over the seal of the commander of the Jinwu Guard and capture him without a fight.

It’s just that he regretted it before he arrived at the imperial prison. Even if something happened to the emperor, at least his life would be safe in a short period of time. He should have escaped with all his strength at that time. Only when he escaped can he hope to save the emperor. Well, the emperor didn't rescue him, but he filled in the limit first, what a fool!

The only hope is that someone takes advantage of the troubled waters to fish and find me here, so that the emperor can still hope to be saved, and I can be saved as well, and this "someone" is most likely to count Duan Wang, and I don't know why. When will Wang's men arrive?This is also the reason why Commander Shi asked Ling Mengqi if his master was King Duan when he saw Ling Mengqi.

Fortunately, he didn't wait too long, but in just one day, someone from King Duan came to him. He just didn't expect that this person would be Ling Mengqi, and he didn't know that it was Duan Wang who came to the prison. Wang's idea, or the idea of ​​this awkward young man in front of him?If it was the latter, how stupid was the former prince's self-destructive act of destroying the Great Wall? What would happen to a person who couldn't even tolerate himself and his mother and elder brother? It is not enough to guard against accidental hands, but once the number of accidents increases, it becomes inevitable!
"...You said Commander Shi gave you a token that can mobilize 36 of his top hidden guards, and these 36 hidden guards don't even know each other's identities, they are only ordered by that token, what is it? Such a keepsake is so miraculous? Show me quickly!" After listening to Ling Mengqi's words, King Duan tried his best to restrain himself, but his voice was still so excited that his voice changed a little.

No wonder he was excited, his people tried their best not to get close to the Hall of Fengyi, which meant that he couldn't get his father's token, and he couldn't openly "Qing Jun eliminates traitors", and he lost face. He might not even be able to protect his wife, children, and children... It's impossible to imagine a turnaround, and now the turning point is in front of him. It is already rare for him to be able to barely control himself from losing his composure!
It's a pity that Ling Mengqi shook his head: "I promised Commander Shi that this token cannot be seen by anyone other than me, even if that person is my wife. If your highness wants to see it, you can only wait until the future." After taking that seat, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

When King Duan heard this, he couldn't help being filled with regret and a little bit unhappy, but then he smiled and said: "You have promised to be a commander and envoy, so naturally you can't break your promise, this king forced it. Well, let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about what you plan to do now? It’s just dark today, so when you left the imperial prison, it should be when the sky is bright. If you leave for such a long time, there will be no harm. Question?"

Ling Mengqi breathed a sigh of relief secretly, he didn't want to offend King Duan, but at the same time, he didn't want to violate his principles of life, so he hurriedly said: "I asked my confidant to pretend to be me and stay in the imperial prison Well, there shouldn't be any problem before dawn tomorrow. I'm planning to go into the palace now, and I'll gather eight of the 36 secret guards who stay in the palace all the year round, and then make plans for the funeral, but the palace is heavily guarded now , I'm afraid that Xingzang has been missed before I start to act, so I want to ask His Highness to send a few experts to cover me, and then when I leave the palace, they will meet me to make sure everything is safe!"

His confidants are naturally easier to use and cooperate with each other more tacitly, but the number is limited, even if one is lost, it is enough for him to feel distressed. It is better to use Duan Wang's, he does not need to feel distressed, and can get twice the result with half the effort. Show your loyalty to King Duan, don't the superiors like the feeling that everything is under their control?

"How difficult is this!" Duan Wang said without hesitation, "I just don't know how many people you want, is twenty enough?"

"Eight is enough, too many people is a bad thing." Ling Mengqi said.

So King Duan immediately asked someone to pass on his eight confidant guards, ordering them to obey Ling Mengqi's orders tonight. The man put on his night clothes and quickly disappeared into the night.

About half an hour later, Ling Mengqi led the eight hidden guards of King Duan to the Jin Palace, which is the weakest guard in the Great Zhou Palace, and entered the inner garden of the palace, and then, as previously agreed, Split into action.

It was also a blessing in heaven. Just as Ling Mengqi dispersed the people he had brought, the sky began to rain patteringly. After a while, there were continuous streams of water under the eaves. It was already deserted. Going to Jin Palace, who was lifeless, was drenched by the rain, and seemed even more lifeless.

Ling Mengqi couldn't help secretly rejoicing that the rain was so heavy, the people on patrol in the inner garden of the palace would definitely be more lazy than when it was sunny, and it would definitely be beneficial and harmless for him to do things.

A thought flashed across his mind, and he immediately thought of Lu Mingxuan. According to the current rain, and the mountain road is rugged, Lu Mingfu will not be able to return to Beijing in all likelihood tomorrow, which is really great,——Ling Mengqi knew that it was a bit strange for him to think like this Selfish, but when he thought about how Lu Mingxuan was running around outside with a big belly, he immediately decided to forgive his selfishness, and decided to thank Lu Mingfu and Yan Shijiulang afterwards.

But even so, he still felt that Lu Mingxuan was too wronged. She hadn't had a good day since she married him. He only hoped that after this incident, he could truly fulfill his promise and let her live the life he had imagined. Leisure days!

When he was thinking about Lu Mingxuan, Lu Mingxuan was also thinking about him in Zhuangzi. Now that the capital is in a turbulent state, he wonders if he can get out of his body and make his wish come true?Originally, she should have stayed in the capital to accompany him, just like she had thought countless times before, even if it was death, as long as two people could die together, there was nothing to be afraid of.
