In the palace of the Emperor Taishang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because she wanted to recapture the imperial court and fulfill the last wish of the emperor, Cao Rou couldn't just leave Tianyun. At Ye Cheng's suggestion, everyone returned to the dormitory and pretended that nothing had happened.

But there's one thing they can't pretend nothing happened.

Emperor Taishang died, according to the etiquette of the ancient kingdom of Tiangu, the whole country must be notified, and then a solemn and solemn funeral was held, which has comforted the soul of the emperor in the sky.

But the two remaining members of the orthodox royal family, Emperor Taishang and Cao Rou, were already weak, and now that the Emperor Taishang has passed away, the fate of the orthodox royal family is even more difficult to speculate.

The road Cao Rou needs to take to return to the imperial court is still very difficult.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the emperor will get the right to a thick burial now.

Because of this, everyone stood solemnly in the room with the well, and looked at the shelf bed on the right side of the door with a low head.

The Emperor Taishang lay peacefully in the shelf bed, and with the help of the eunuch, he had changed into a new imperial robe embroidered with dragon patterns. This imperial robe is only the kind worn by the royal children, not the dragon robe worn by the emperor.

Cao Rou knelt beside the shelf bed and looked at the Emperor Taishang sadly, her eyes were already wet red. Facing the death of the only relative in the world like this, she was in the most uncomfortable mood at the moment, but she did not shed a single tear because of sadness.

One thing is very fortunate that the Emperor Taishang walked very peacefully.

Ye Cheng stood behind and looked at Cao Rou's back, his expression was a little gloomy, he didn't know how to persuade Cao Rou. Cao Rou's sadness is not something he can persuade in a sentence or two, he feels that he still has to figure out these things by himself.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the door of Zhuzi Ping, "Brother, eighth brother, there are soldiers coming"

Hearing the voice, Ye Cheng hurriedly turned his head and glanced at Zhu Ziju behind him. The soldier came a little later than he had thought. It takes several hours to descend the circular staircase from the entrance of the cave to the huge cave and climb the rope ladder back to the dormitory.

And from the moment he left the room, the emperor of the Tiangu Kingdom had already been found dead in the room, and at that time, Tianyun should be in chaos and arrest the suspicious murderer everywhere. But it was strange that they had returned to the dormitory for almost half an hour before soldiers came.

Seeing Ye Cheng's solemn face, Zhu Ziju knew what the latter was thinking, and said calmly, "Eighth brother, let's go out and have a look."

Ye Cheng nodded and walked towards the door.

Zhu Ziju and the others also walked out of the room, through the dim hallway, to the hall.

In the hall, Bai Fang led dozens of white-clothed soldiers to guard the inside of the gate, confronting a group of soldiers standing at the door.

The group of soldiers standing at the door, each emaciated and tall, were dressed in white robes, and the word "soldier" was written on the left and right sides of the shoulders of the white robes.

A soldier standing in front, with the left and right sides of his white robe shoulders different from those of other soldiers, was written with the word "general" written on it.

It seems that that man is the lead general of this group of soldiers.

Ye Cheng watched as the soldier slowly walked towards the gate and stood beside Bai Fang.

The leading general yelled at this time, "Let Lao Tzu go in and hunt for the suspect"

In the face of such an arrogant leading general, Bai Fang seemed to be angry, and he lowered his head and glared at the leading general.

Ye Cheng raised his head and saw Bai Fang with such an expression, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop it, blocking the way in front of Bai Fang, and then looked at the leading general with a smile and said, "Search, search casually." This is the sleeping palace of the Emperor Taishang, how can there be a suspect"

Then he pretended to be puzzled, leaned slightly towards the leading general and asked, "May I ask this general, who is the suspect you have arrested?" Why arrest the suspects? Did something big happen to Tianyun? ”

Ye Cheng knew that the leading general was going to arrest the suspect who killed the emperor of the Tiangu Kingdom, but what he was puzzled about was that they knew who murdered the emperor of the Tiangu Kingdom?

If not, how are they going to arrest people?

He knew very well that these soldiers would not be the Xiao family and the others, but just in case, more than 100 members of the Xiao family were still hiding under the well.

When the leading general heard this series of questions, he was a little impatient, and with an angry face, he reached out and grabbed Ye Cheng's shoulder, threw it aside, and then said angrily, "Get out, you just need to get out of the way."

Ye Cheng was thrown aside hard, but he didn't get angry, he just took a turn of the situation, and then looked at the leading general again.

The leading general angrily led the group of soldiers at the gate past the white-clothed army who were enclosing the gate, and then divided into two groups and walked towards the two aisles on the left and right sides of the hall.

Ye Cheng watched the group of soldiers walk by the side one by one, and roughly counted the number of people, the number was about fifty.

The leading general led more than 20 people to the aisle on the left side of the door, which was the aisle of the emperor's room. The rest walked down the aisle to the right of the door, where there were two empty houses and nothing could be found.

Seeing that the leading general walked into the aisle with all the soldiers, Ye Cheng hurriedly glanced at Bai Fang and Zhuziju, and motioned to follow.

Bai Fang and Zhu Ziju understood what this meant, and nodded one after another.

Then the crowd at the gate returned to the room.

The leading general walked into the room, saw a person kneeling in front of the shelf bed, walked over, and shouted arrogantly, "Hey, who is lying on the bed?" Come down! ”

Cao Rou, who was kneeling on the edge of the shelf bed, ignored such an arrogant shout, and was still silent as always.

Unable to get a response, the leading general was furious, stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to grab Cao Rou's shoulder, and dragged it back hard.

At this moment, a cyan figure quickly appeared and grabbed the leading general's right hand and stopped the leading general.

The cyan figure gradually appeared, Bai Fang was more than two meters tall, looked down at the leading general with a pair of angry eyes, and shouted, "This is the princess of Tiangu, you dare to be so rude, what crime should you be guilty of?"

"Hehe" The leading general sneered, and then said, "I don't even care about the Emperor Taishang, why not be afraid of a Tiangu princess who has been away from the Tiangu Kingdom for many years"

"You!" Bai Fang was angry, he pressed the right wrist of the leading general, and slowly removed his right hand from Cao Rou's shoulder.

The more than 20 soldiers standing in the room saw that the leading general was being bullied like this, and immediately became vigilant, their bodies sank slightly, their palms were open in front of them, and they were doing martial arts postures.

Judging from the posture of the body sinking, this is a preparatory movement for Tai Chi Wu, and these soldiers should be Tai Chi people.

After only three minutes of arrogance, the leading general may not be able to bear the pain, he grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, and pleaded with a painful face, "My hand is going to be broken, let go of me"

Bai Fang took advantage of his height, hoisted his right hand high, and shouted sternly, "Do you dare to be rude to the princess?" ”

"Don't dare! Don't dare!! The leading general begged bitterly, and the arrogant attitude just now was suddenly gone.

Suddenly, Cao Rou slowly stood up and said lightly, "General Bai, please let him go"
