"Da da da-"
……
Just as all the maidservants stood up in panic.
From outside the courtyard, a figure walked in quickly.
The person was dressed in a dark blue robe. His hair was combed meticulously. The joints on his palm were a little thick, but his face gave off a calm feeling.
It was Qin Ren, the steward who had worked for the King of Subei for many years.
He was loyal to the King of Subei and Qin Mo.
Many secret matters were handled by Qin Ren.
Qin Ren arrived and waved his hand, ordering the maidservants to leave.
The maidservants had already lost their composure and knew that the steward had something important to discuss with his highness, so they didn't dare to delay any longer.
When Qin Ren was three steps away from Qin Mo, only Qin Mo and Qin Ren were present in the entire courtyard.
"Master, there's news from the Beihan Army.”
Qin Ren bowed and said.
"Tell me."
"Yes."
" The Beihan Army has followed Master's orders. Chu Yao and the direct descendants he has secretly nurtured over the past six months are now under control.
Master, this is the Tiger Tally that the emperor took back from the Prince of Subei and gave to Chu Yao.”
Qin Ren said respectfully.
Then, he took out a black cloth from his bosom and placed it in front of his chest with both hands.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mo turned around and took the black cloth.
The black cloth was removed, and a pocket-sized Tiger Tally flickering with black and gold appeared in front of Qin Mo.
The inscriptions on it were complicated, and there were the northern characters. It was an item that the dynasty had spent a lot of effort to build to consolidate the imperial power. It was divided into two pieces and could not be faked.
One was in the hands of the royal family, and the other was in the hands of the commander of the Beihan Army.
Whenever the royal family appointed someone else to take over the military power, only two tiger talismans were needed to be sewn together to identify whether it was real or fake.
However, when Qin Mo saw the Tiger Tally that represented military authority, his heart did not waver at all.
He had gained the secret loyalty of 200,000 soldiers. Even without the Tiger Tally, he could make the Northern Frost Army obey his orders.
Inanimate objects were inanimate objects after all. How could they control the hearts of people?
Recalling the scene of the new emperor in the palace, who had spent a lot of effort and even disregarded the ugly way he ate to make the King of Subei hand over the Tiger Tally, Qin Mo still felt that it was quite ironic.
After going around in circles, Si Hao thought that everything was under his control. Little did he know that everything was just a mirage.
Everything he saw was just his own doing. An emperor was just spinning in his palm.
"Master, although Chu Yao is imprisoned, he once said that he would secretly send a message to the emperor every month.
The channel, method, content, and timing of this message were strictly controlled. Other than him, no one else knew about it.
We can't force him to confess even if we torture him.
"The other party is still spouting nonsense. If we don't set him free, when time passes and the emperor doesn't receive the news,
They would immediately become suspicious of the Beihan Army, and the Lord of Subei's Residence would be in trouble.
Commander Xu did not dare to make a decision on his own regarding the crisis of the King of Subei's Residence, so he also wanted to ask for his master's opinion.”
Qin Ren said.
"What a smart dog."
Qin Mo said after hearing Qin Ren's words.
However, there was no panic on his face.
Ever since the King of Subei was conferred the title of king, he had been schemed against by the royal family, leaving behind hidden dangers in his cultivation method.
Now, coupled with Si Hao's targeted decree, it seemed that the Subei King's Mansion no longer had a place in the royal family's heart.
Since everything was destined, the royal family had always wanted to attack the King of Subei Residence, so Chu Yao's so-called threat became a little ridiculous.
"Kill Chu Yao and all the direct descendants that he secretly planted and cultivated under the emperor's orders.
Lord Subei's Mansion did not need Xu Lin to worry. He told Commander Xu that the Beihan Army would not listen to orders from now on without his orders!”
"Yes, Master!"
…
…
In the Imperial City, the atmosphere was dark and treacherous, making people feel like a storm was about to come.
The focus of this was naturally the intriguing edict that the Emperor had sent to the King of Subei three days ago.
In three days, this news spread to almost everyone in the Imperial City.
In the dark, countless people were focusing their attention on the King of Subei.
On this day.
In the Imperial City, it was 11 o'clock in the morning. The air was not as refreshing as it had been in the past few days. Instead, it gave people a faint sense of oppression.
Even the sky was not as bright as it was a few days ago.
As usual, the officials of the True Martial Dynasty had already rushed to the main entrance of the palace to wait for the court session to begin.
As time passed, the sound of a bell rang out, reverberating throughout the palace.
Soon, a few eunuchs who were in charge of leading the way walked out of the palace and went to the ministers to lead the way for the officials.
The officials followed their ranks and walked in an orderly manner towards the palace where the court was located, the Zhen Wu Palace.
Xiao Qing, the Grand Secretary of the Dragon Court Pavilion, was a second-rank official of the True Martial Dynasty. Naturally, he was among them.
However, at this moment, he seemed to have a lot on his mind. When he was greeted by some of his colleagues earlier, he had also hastily dealt with them.
His gaze continued to search through the crowd. From time to time, he would look behind him, trying to find the figure he was looking for.
But in the end, he found nothing.
This made Xiao Qing's heart sink slightly.
Qin Mo actually didn't come!
