When Ma Jin and Li Chen heard that Zhao Huan agreed to go, they were overjoyed and immediately bowed and left.
Zhao Huan looked at Prince Kang Zhao Gou and said, "Brother Kang, I feel at ease only when you are by my side."
King Kang hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am extremely terrified."
Zhao Huan patted his shoulder and said, "I will take you to see the strange beast tomorrow. I want to see what is so special about it."
King Kang bowed and said, "I will take my leave first."
Zhao Huan waved his hand: "Go ahead."
When he walked out of the door, a barely perceptible smile appeared on King Kang Zhao Gou's face.
Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Gou's departing back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Cao Dongsheng!"
"His Majesty."
"Call Pan Bufeng!"
"As you wish!"
Pan Bufeng has been walking with the wind since he became the commander of the Dragon Guard. He followed Cao Dongsheng to Funing Palace in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, General Pan Bufeng greets you."
"Bufeng, I appointed you as the commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard. Do you know that many of my subjects are dissatisfied?"
Pan Bufeng felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that the emperor wanted to take back his military power?
Zhao Huan then added, "You saved my life, but many still think you deserve the position of Commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard only after you have accumulated merit and been promoted."
Pan Bufeng felt deeply that many generals indeed looked down upon him as the commander, especially those veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
"I'll give you a chance to make a contribution now." Zhao Huan pointed at him.
Pan Bufeng was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Someone wants to assassinate me and turn the Song Dynasty upside down. Tomorrow I will go hunting in Maoer Mountain in the southern suburbs. The bandits who tried to assassinate me will also show up. Then I will leave it to you."
Pan Bufeng was shocked: "Your Majesty's body is worth millions of gold, how can you easily put yourself in danger? I think this action is absolutely unacceptable."
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "You can't get a tiger cub without risking it. Besides, I'll be surrounded by experts by then, and assassins and clowns will only add to the joke. Tomorrow, you will lead your men to ambush Maoer Mountain and obey my orders. I will wipe out these traitors in one fell swoop!"
Pan Bufeng's forehead was covered with sweat. Who would be so bold as to commit the crime of regicide? He bowed cautiously and said, "I obey your order. I will go to the Imperial Dragon Guard to mobilize people."
"You may withdraw now. Tell Kang Huojian, Wu Ge, and Wang Zongchu to come to see me."
After a long time, King Kang Wu and his two companions arrived at Funing Palace.
"Kang Huojian, I will be hunting in the southern suburbs tomorrow. After I leave the capital, the gates of the four palaces will be closed. No one, no matter if they are royal relatives or relatives, may leave the city without my permission!"
"As you wish!"
"Wang Zongchu, you will lead the guards to surround the imperial palace tomorrow, and especially protect the safety of the harem."
Wang Zongchu bowed and said, "I obey your order!"
"Wu Ge, tomorrow you will select the best among the Imperial Guards to accompany me to the southern suburbs."
Wu Ge: "I obey your command, but, Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Someone wants to kill the king and usurp the throne."
"What?!" Kang Huojian and the other two were shocked.
Tiger Fang Division.
As soon as Huo Yuanjia was whipped twice, he immediately started shouting: "Sir, sir, I remember it, I remember it."
Wang Dabao waved his hand and the officers stopped whipping.
"I remember someone saying the other day, 'Are kings, princes, generals, or ministers of any race?'"
"Who is this person?"
Huo Yuanjia tried hard to imagine what this person looked like: "That person is very impressive, like a palace eunuch. Yes, that person must be a palace eunuch."
"Why do you conclude that he is a eunuch?" Wang Dabao looked unhappy, as he himself was also a eunuch.
"This man had no beard and spoke in a shrill voice, but the important thing is that he once said something."
"What did he say!"
"I told him about the Three Kingdoms story about the young emperor and the eunuchs playing around. He said that what I said about the Three Kingdoms was wrong. The palace rules require that eunuchs and the emperor have a certain hierarchy. He also mentioned many other palace rules. That's why I dared to conclude that this person was a eunuch."
Wang Dabao pondered for a moment: "Bring the clay doll in!"
An official went out and soon brought in a little beggar, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pale face, skinny body, and unkempt hair.
This man is called Niwawa. His parents died when he was young and he became a beggar.
"Niwa, I have a question for you. Are the words you heard in the City God Temple that day true?"
The clay doll wiped his nose with his sleeve and said, "Sir, I heard it all clearly. That day, I came back from begging and hid alone behind the clay statue in the City God Temple on the city wall. Suddenly, five men in black walked in. I remember every word they said."
Wang Dabao nodded and said, "I'm here to ask you, why are you hiding behind that clay statue in the City God Temple again?"
"I've been a beggar since I was young, and I have no fixed place to live. I stayed at the City God Temple for the night, but I was afraid that the official would drive me away, so I hid behind the clay statue of the City God. I happened to encounter the five men in black and they were talking to each other."
"Tell me what happened that day again."
The clay doll had a good memory and said, "I remember one of the thin men asked, 'Where's Jia San?' The other, slightly fatter man said, 'He got away. He must have been caught.'"
Clay Wa paused and continued, "The other three seemed very frightened. One seemed older. He said something about Jia San being loyal to his master and wouldn't betray us. Even if he was caught, his soul would go to heaven."
"What is the soul's ascension to heaven?" Wang Dabao asked.
The clay doll shook his head and said, "I don't understand what they say, but I have one advantage: I can remember every word others say. So, that person said it, and I said it."
Wang Dabao nodded slightly: "Go on."
