Chapter 246 Offerings to the Palace

"Xiuxian meets Uncle Wei." Wu Xiuxian stood opposite the King of Wei. Even though he was a prince, he saluted respectfully.

"Xiuxian, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. The last time we met, you were still a little kid." The King of Wei said carelessly. Only big men of their generation would joke like this in front of the prince.

"Uncle Wei is joking. You haven't changed at all after not seeing you for many years."

"Haha, yes, you are much more talkative than your brothers, and you know how to respect our elders. No wonder Han Xu praised you."

"Han Xu? Praise me?"

"Yes, when we were in the southern border, Han Xu mentioned you in front of me and said that he got along well with you. "King Wei said, and Bai Yiyi behind him was stunned.

Han Xu certainly didn't say these words. King Wei said this, of course, he was acting, and he also helped Han Xu to get closer to Wu Xiuxian unintentionally.

After Wu Xiuxian heard it, he was really happy. He had high expectations for Han Xu. Han Xu's initiative to praise him in front of King Wei was also an affirmation of his previous efforts, which showed that in Han Xu's heart, he really regarded him as a friend.

"Han Xu, I don't know how he is now?" Wu Xiuxian looked in the direction of the palace. To be honest, he was indeed a little worried about Han Xu's safety. This kind of emotion would never appear in Wu Xiuxian's heart before. He also believed that he could never have friendship with anyone again.

But Han Xu disdained his repeated invitations, treated him equally, and finally warned him not to take action, which was equivalent to indirectly saving his life. These connected together made Wu Xiuxian look at Han Xu differently.

King Wei said: "Don't worry about this. Since I'm here, I will naturally not let him get into trouble. "

The King of Wei was very confident when he spoke, as if this matter was a piece of cake for him.

"I will borrow your place to live for a few days."

"Uncle Wei, you can stay here. I have cleared the place."

The King of Wei also has a mansion in the royal city, which is not far from here, but he would not live in his own home, but in a brothel.

It was a very strange thing, but Wu Xiuxian did not ask.

Since the King of Wei lived here, there must be a reason. Asking too much would make people think he was ignorant.

"Master, the King of Wei and I have settled down, and the Third Prince has also come over." At night, Bai Yiyi conveyed the situation to Han Xu through the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Note.

"Okay, stay here for now, you are tired, go to bed early. "

Han Xu cut off the connection with Bai Yiyi, thought for a while, and sent a message to Zhang He.

After returning to the royal city, Han Xu asked Bai Yiyi to give Zhang He a Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Note. After all, Zhang He was the most powerful master in his hands besides himself. What's more important is that Zhang He is very loyal and obedient at this stage.

"Zhang He, where are you?"

After Han Xu sent a message, Zhang He replied quickly.

"Master, I'm near the Baige Chamber of Commerce."

"What are you doing at the Baige Chamber of Commerce?"

"Some time ago, Miss Bai asked me to investigate the movements of the Jianghu forces. I found that several large caravans have entered the city recently and have stayed at the Baige Chamber of Commerce and have not left."

"It's normal for a caravan to stay for ten days or half a month. What else did you find? "Han Xu asked. He knew that if it was just like this, Zhang He would never take it seriously.

"After these caravans settled down, they did not conduct external purchases and trade, and the team members did not go out to enjoy themselves. Instead, they stayed in the station in a very disciplined manner. In addition, these caravans were escorted by extraordinary masters, but after my investigation, I found that there was no treasure in their luggage that was valuable enough to be protected by extraordinary masters."

Han Xu frowned. This matter was indeed a bit unusual, but compared with the current situation, it was not worth wasting an extraordinary master to guard there all the time.

"Zhang He, take my military token to the Cavalry Camp and tell Yan Si to pay attention these days. If anyone breaks into the camp, just kill them directly." Han Xu was worried that because of his own relationship, the soldiers of the Cavalry Camp would be implicated. After all, he now holds the title of the commander of the Cavalry Camp.

"Okay, young master."

"After this matter is done, go for a walk outside the city and check if there is any trace of Han Li. I always feel that he will come. "Han Xu said, "Remember, be careful and don't get discovered."

Han Xu felt that Han Li's disappearance in the northern border was definitely not due to killing aliens. He must have come to the royal city through some unknown method, or from a road that no one knew about, just like a wolf king hunting in the dark, staring at the royal city, waiting for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack.

At present, Zhang He can only be arranged to do this matter. Only he can ensure his own safety, Bai Yiyi and others cannot.

In addition, Zhang He had investigated Han Li for many years and knew the most about Han Li, so it was easier to find clues.

While Han Xu was arranging the task, the imperial guards in the palace seemed to be searching for something everywhere.

The moving lights of torches could be seen everywhere.

In Kunning Palace, the queen who was released from the cold palace recovered most of her spirit. The prince had just paid his respects and was talking to her.

"Mother, I have sent people to search the palace, and I will definitely find the place where my father is in seclusion. "

When mentioning Emperor Wu, a trace of deep resentment flashed across the Queen's face.

She gave her youth and everything she had to Emperor Wu, but in the end she was banished to the cold palace. Every time the Queen thought of this, she felt a tight pain in her chest.

"Xiuqi, what are you going to do after you find it?" the queen asked, her long nails reflecting the cold metallic luster.

"My son, I haven't thought about it yet." The prince said in a panic. He was not sure if the queen would accept his true thoughts, after all, Emperor Wu was her husband.

"Xiuqi, do you know your biggest shortcoming?"

"I will listen to your mother's teachings."

"Your biggest shortcoming is that you are too soft-hearted, timid and indecisive." The queen said, "Think about it, since ancient times, which emperor was born without blood and death."

"If you want to sit in that position, you must have a heart that does not recognize your relatives and a cold heart. You must have the determination to sacrifice everything to achieve your goal. When necessary, even I, your mother, must be sacrificed."

"Kindness will not win the world. If you want to keep everything you have finally got, you must be ruthless."

The prince was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect these words to come out of the queen's mouth. However, after listening to them, he felt happier.

"Don't worry, mother, I know what to do."

"Okay, mother is tired, you can go and do your own thing." After the queen finished speaking, she let Wu Xiuqi leave Kunning Palace.

She looked at the direction of Weiyang Palace in the darkness and said, "Han Luoling, it seems that I am the one who laughs the last."

Another night passed in a seemingly peaceful manner.

The next morning, the Shenwu Hall was filled with an unprecedented tense atmosphere. Civil and military officials stood aside, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.

In the center of the hall, dozens of people stood. It was the momentum they exuded that frightened the officials.

The leader of these ten people was Chang De, the third worshiper of the Worship Court.
