"Wow~~"
Meng Yunfei walked towards Lingzhi with eyes wide open.
"It's a really big cluster. It must be a hundred years old, right?"
"That's about right!" Shen Yong replied casually.
He didn't know much about herbs. No matter how old they were, once they were in his hands, they were his.
"We've seen it, let's go back."
Chen Yong casually threw the Ganoderma lucidum into the space and walked towards the grove.
Meng Yunfei looked at Shen Yong's empty hands in shock, and felt that Shen Yong was even more mysterious.
She was really curious about where her seventh brother had hidden those things.
"Awoo~" A wolf howl brought the frightened Meng Yunfei back to her senses instantly.
She glanced around the dark forest and quickly trotted to catch up with Chen Yong...
.......
"What!!?"
Emperor Tianwu widened his eyes and looked at the Minister of Justice Jiang Rundong in disbelief.
"Jiang Weida is dead!?"
Jiang Weida's martial arts skills are among the best among the Imperial Guards, otherwise he would not have been able to hold the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.
He died after only being sent out for a few days?
Just as he caught up with the Shen family, he was killed by Shen’s accomplices?
"......Yes!" Minister Jiang nodded nervously.
"381 bodies of imperial guards were found near the post station..."
When Minister Jiang said this, his throat was trembling.
This is fucking scary.
Three or four hundred imperial guards died at once, and the capital was probably in chaos.
Those imperial guards are all the best in their families, just like that...
"......" Emperor Tianwu felt dizzy when he heard this.
The guards that Jiang Weida brought with him were all middle and upper-level guards among the imperial guards.
How could he let those marginal palace guards know about the assassination of Chen Yong?
"Plop~"
Emperor Tianwu's body swayed slightly, and he fell down on the chair.
“Bold!”
"I will tear these arrogant people into pieces!"
"The Shen family is a bunch of traitors, beasts..."
“…”
Minister Jiang knelt on the ground with his head down, staring at the ground with wide eyes in shock.
It was the first time he heard Emperor Tianwu utter such foul language.
But it is understandable. So many palace guards died at once, and they didn't know how to explain to those noble families.
This kind of situation has never occurred since the founding of the Great Celestial Empire.
Minister Jiang frowned as he looked at the newly laid bricks on the ground.
People in the Ministry of Works have it easier. They just need to repair the palace and don't have to worry like him.
Emperor Tianwu cursed and raged for a full quarter of an hour before he finally let out some of his anger.
He took a deep breath and stared at Minister Jiang who was kneeling on the ground with angry eyes.
"Have the bodies of those imperial guards been brought back?"
Minister Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied,
"...I have already arranged for someone to handle it."
"All the bodies will be brought back this afternoon..."
Fortunately, he arranged for people to deal with the bodies as soon as he received the news.
However, in such hot weather, the bodies brought back are probably already...
According to the news from the post station, these palace guards have been dead for three days.
Plus, today is the fourth day, so how can we still look at the corpse?
When Emperor Tianwu heard the word "corpse", his eyes turned cold instantly.
"Where are the surviving imperial guards?"
He sent a total of 500 palace guards to follow Jiang Weida to hunt down Shen Yong.
381 imperial guards died, so there should be 120 imperial guards still alive.
Why hasn't he seen any imperial guards come back to report in all these days?
Logically speaking, with so many people dead, the surviving palace guards should have returned long ago.
Thinking of this, Emperor Tianwu had a bad feeling in his heart.
"...alive..." Minister Jiang pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said with a stiff upper lip.
"The people at the post station said---"
"The other imperial guards were taken away by Chen Yong."
When he said this, he himself was a little bit unconvinced.
It's not like they can be held hostage by just one or two people.
There are 120 imperial guards. How many people would it take to take them hostage?
"Chen Yong was taken away!?"
Emperor Tianwu looked at Minister Jiang in disbelief.
"ha!"
"How many accomplices does Shen Yong have to hold so many hostages?"
"Huh!?" Emperor Tianwu looked at Minister Jiang who lowered his head and said nothing, and a heavy question came out of his throat.
Minister Jiang wished he could faint at this moment.
Unfortunately, he was in such good shape that he couldn't faint.
"Chen Yong alone held 120 imperial guards hostage."
When he heard what the people at the post station said, he felt like he was listening to a joke.
Chen Yong, that seriously injured idiot, was able to hold 120 palace guards hostage by himself. It was like the sun rising from the west.
However, after he inquired carefully, the people at the post station were very firm and insisted that it was Chen Yong who took away the living imperial guards.
As for the rest, I know nothing.
They said that the fighting outside the post station was so intense that everyone in the post station had gone into hiding.
When it was quiet outside the post station, when they went out, they only saw the palace guards following Shen Yong.
Minister Jiang sighed slowly.
How could he dare to say that the palace guards had followed Chen Yong away? He could only say that they were held hostage.
