The bandits have fled, and the commanders of the Fourth Army and the Du head are also gathering their troops to clean up the battlefield.

  At this time, the stationmaster also appeared, busily saying some inexplicable words.

  Zhao Xi stood there, but no one from the Fourth Army dared to come over, even though they had just shown bravery a moment ago. They didn't dare approach Wang Ye to report their achievements.

  The leader of their mission was killed because they escaped in the chaos and didn't take care of him.

  Who else dares to get close to the king?

  If it weren't for the appearance of the king's guards, perhaps they would have... Alas! If only I had known that Maitreya Sect was like this, we could have completely blocked them at the door from the very beginning.

  Too late! Everything is too late.

  Zhao Xi didn't know how to deal with this matter either.

  He is not the main official, although he is the most respected person in status, but in this matter, he has no right to dispose of it.

  According to Zhao Xi's real idea, the four commanders were all wiped out. Depending on the situation, those who should be killed would be killed, and those who should be put in prison would be put in prison.

  But now he still hasn't arrived yet.

  "Brother, I'm going back to my room. You first let the four commanders confirm the cause of Zhang Langzhong's death. Wait for the rescue to arrive and then hand it over."

  Since there is no right to dispose of it, there is no need to stay here. It's better not to watch the cold... The whole courtyard is bloody and messy, all because of the cowardly battle commanded by the commander.

  Zhao Xi worried that if he continued to stay here, he couldn't help but take out his pistol and kill these damn commanding officers.

  Zhao Xi walked back and forth, while the relatives from the backyard came to the front yard, barely avoiding each other. But one by one, the relatives looked at Zhao Xi with evasive eyes, including Zhao Zongshi who had stood shoulder to shoulder with him... Is this really the person who was originally supposed to inherit the throne?

  He looked older than himself by a decade or so, but his courage... was just that.

  Zhao Xi didn't even glance at him, and was speechless towards such relatives. After all, their ancestors had also fought out of the gunfire and rain, but in just a few decades, they had all become pampered.

  Let them go and watch the excitement, I'll take a nap!

  Cao Lin carefully followed Zhao Xi's instructions, and together with Gao Jingxian, summoned the commander of the Fourth Army, along with the officials in charge of the postal station.

  Let them see Zhang Wei's wound and lament that they didn't arrive in time to save Zhang Langzhong when following Emperor Wu from the backyard.

  As for the story, let them make it up themselves, Cao Lin is really unable to fabricate.

  At this time, Cao Lin's mind kept echoing: I just let you shoot and kill Zhang Langzhong!

  This is what has been lingering in my mind lately, and no matter how hard I try to drive it away, it won't leave.

  He thought his uncle was wrong, from Bianliang out of the city, all the way to tonight, this prince's nephew, has been cooperating with Zhang Wei. He also thinks that the Cao family is loyal to him, could he be wrong?

  Just now, Prince Wang's younger brother directly ordered the shooting of Zhang Wei... It was just a moment of arrogance for over ten days, and his life was lost here.

  He glanced at Gao Jingxian and found that his expression was similar to his own, and he should also be shocked by the decisive killing of King E.

  Zhao Xixing woke up at the usual time, it was always like this. No matter how late he stayed up the night before, he would still wake up at this hour.

  "Zhong Zheng, has anyone from Xingyang ever come here?"

  It's already this late, I suppose the rescue team from Gongyi should have arrived early.

  "Returned to King Wang, Lyu Tong, the judge of Xingyang, led his troops and arrived at the appointed hour."

  One time is two hours, who knows how long he said. It seems that when I fell asleep, it was also around the same time.

  It's just this surname Lü...

  "Is your surname Lü?"

  "Returning to King Wang, he was the third son of former Prime Minister Lü Yi Jian."

  Lü's family... is quite good, should be considered as one of our own people, have been cooperating for several years, and there has never been any unpleasantness.

  "Lü Tong sentenced him to hard labor..."

  Polite words won't hurt anyone. A group of people busy for a whole night, at least show some politeness before going to sleep.

  "His Highness is shocked! The bandits are in the territory of Xingyang, it's actually the fault of my colleagues in Xingyang. Now His Highness has managed to turn the tide, and I, Xu Shu, have arrived late, which can't be considered a hardship."

  First the pleasantries, then down to business.

  Regardless of whether these thieves have escaped or not, it is clearly inappropriate for Zhao Xi to be in a dangerous situation again. Therefore, the first thing that was decided was that Zhao Xi must leave immediately.

  Apart from shooting Zhang Wei, everything else has nothing to do with Zhao Xi, so it is the same now. Very cooperative with Lü Gongzhu's work, no objection to leaving.

  Although he wanted to know where this group of thieves came from and where they were running now...he was not yet at the age of asking about politics, that is, he didn't have the qualification.

  The guards on the way back were still unchanged, still Cao Lin and Gao Jingxian's three to five hundred people, while the outer circle was no longer the Imperial Guards brought from the capital, but the Imperial Army stationed in Xiyang.

  They might be slightly stronger than the original group, at least they look quite spirited. It's also possible that Lv Gongzhu's handling of those people scared them off.

  Zhao Xi didn't want to report back to the imperial court and his parents so early, anyway nothing big happened, it's better to wait until he gets back to explain in detail rather than sending a brief message that would only worry them.

  The governor of Yangzhou Prefecture dare not slack off, since the city gate was opened by the Imperial Guard last night, there has been no news coming in or out.

  And immediately sent someone to Bianliang to deliver the letter...

  Zhao Zhen was very happy for the past two days. The memorial reported that the rebellious one in the northwest had died, and it was his own son who killed him.

  The most shameless thing is that he actually occupied his daughter-in-law... No wonder his son wants to kill him.

  This is indeed something worth celebrating.

  Unfortunately, this pleasant mood did not last long.

  "Officially, the relay station at Gongyi, Xingyang was raided by bandits at night, and the imperial court has already taken action."

  Today there was no morning court, and Zhao Zhen followed his usual routine in handling government affairs at the Wende Hall. However, early in the morning, Chen Lin informed him that someone had created a disturbance.

  Bandits causing trouble? Hu Lao Pass in Xingyang? A crucial location near the capital... No way! Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine...

  "Where is Xi'er?"

  Returning to the official residence, Wang Ye was staying overnight at the Tiger's Den Inn last night.

  "Hurry up and let the officials enter the hall for discussion!"

  Xi'er is at Tiger Trap Pass, Tiger Trap Pass has been raided by bandits... Zhao Zhen's mind kept repeating these two sentences, pacing back and forth in the grand hall.

  "Let everyone know that the saint has arrived!"

  Suddenly remembering this matter should be told to the empress, Zhao Zhen added another sentence and continued to wander around.

  How can this be good?

  "Your Majesty, the situation at the relay station is unclear. It seems that a small group of bandits, unaware of the height of heaven and earth, did not know that there were imperial guards stationed at the relay station, and they have brought about their own demise by recklessly rushing in. There is no need to worry."

  Pang Ji said so and thought so. In fact, when receiving letters in the government office, people generally think this way.

  After all, when Zhao Xie sent someone to report to Gongying, he only knew that the bandits had raided the post station and didn't know anything else.

  So Zhengtang thought Zhang Wei was timid and frightened, causing a stir, which led to the news being transmitted to the imperial court.

  Zhao Zhen saw Pang Ji's words and felt they were reasonable. With three to five hundred imperial guards and two thousand elite soldiers, even if bandits caused chaos, they shouldn't be able to break through to Xi'er.

  But I'm getting a bit flustered myself.

  As for the official's behavior, Zhengtai understands that putting aside his temper, he is worried about the safety of the king, and this is also reasonable.
