Chapter 109 The Secret Guards Charge! (45)

Raindrops began to fall on the ground. 002 didn't understand why Xiong Bufan had suddenly run away, but she was afraid that Xiong Bufan would get wet in the rain, so she tried her best to shield him from the rain.

The lightning in the sky seemed to be chasing them, always landing not far from Xiong Bufan.

Xiong Bufan could only run and dodge for his life. If he had known that hitting Qiao Yujie would invite the wrath of Heaven, he would have stayed far away and never touched Qiao Yujie in the slightest.

Kongkong really wanted to tell Xiong Bufan not to hit people so hard next time. Qiao Yujie was almost crippled by him and wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days.

Fearing that the lightning might damage his small house in the capital, Xiong Bufan carried 002 and ran towards the city gate. He was so fast that the soldiers guarding the city saw a large black shadow rush out of the capital with a "whoosh." Immediately afterward, a bolt of lightning struck the city gate tower, and a huge crack appeared in the tower that had stood for hundreds of years.

The soldier had never seen anything like this before. He didn't care about the big black shadow anymore and was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, leaving a yellow stain, which was quickly washed away by the rain. The soldier shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's divine retribution! Run!"

The captain guarding the city was a shrewd man. He hurriedly covered the soldier's mouth, saying, "Shut up if you want to live."

If something like this happens on the city wall, the emperor will issue an edict of self-reproach. None of the eyewitnesses who guarded the city will survive. If they work hard now, they can earn a large sum of money for their families after they are gone.

The people began to scatter in all directions. The captain of the city guards began to arrange for soldiers to appease the people, promising some silver to those who witnessed the thunder and rain, and telling them that the thunder and rain were arranged by the Grand Preceptor.

The soldier looked at his captain in astonishment. His captain's ability to conjure things up out of thin air was getting better and better, and the city guards had no chance of seeing the Imperial Advisor at all.

Due to the weather, most of the vendors near the city gate had left, and very few people passed through the city gate. The captain quickly gathered all the witnesses together.

While taking shelter from the rain under the city gate, a bold civilian asked the captain, "Sir, is it true that they're paying us?"

The soldiers looked at their captain with curiosity, not believing that their stingy captain would give money to the people.

The captain actually wanted to kill the witnesses so that he might have a chance to survive when the court blamed him, but he decided to wait and see, as these people might be of greater use.

The group consisted of about thirty people. The captain took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to a soldier, saying, "Go and distribute it to everyone. Take it down and make some hot tea for everyone in a bit."

"Yes"

The soldiers suspected that the lightning had struck their captain in the head, which was why they had distributed the money to the others.

The people were all smiles when they received the silver. Some were cautious, looking around, but then they realized that there were many people traveling with them, and they couldn't possibly kill them all, so they gradually calmed down.

The captain walked back to the place where he had given his report on the city wall, wrote a letter and had his men deliver it to the general's mansion. He was from a branch of the general's family; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the captain of the city defense team so easily.

After Xiong Bufan ran out of the capital, the rain lessened, and Tian Lei stopped chasing him. Xiong Bufan put 002 on his back and started running towards the mountain stronghold with 002 on his back.

I can't stay in Beijing any longer, and I need to stay away from Qiao Yujie for the foreseeable future.

The news of the city gate tower and Cui Guohong's death spread like wildfire. Three of his sons had died within five years, and those old fogies in the Censorate were still urging the emperor to issue an edict of self-reproach. The emperor fainted because he couldn't catch his breath. The eunuch screamed, "Quickly, summon the imperial physician! His Majesty has fainted!"

The emperor was carried away, and the eldest prince ordered several old censors from the Censorate to be imprisoned. They were to either dismiss them or release them when the emperor woke up. If it weren't for their relentless pressure, the emperor wouldn't have fallen into a coma.

The court was in chaos. Several senior officials from the eldest prince's faction began to advocate that the eldest prince should oversee the country and handle government affairs, with Cui Haoyu assisting the eldest prince, and the two of them coordinating the management of the country together.

The idea of ​​Cui Haoyu's faction was to appoint a wise king as regent to oversee the country, handle state affairs, investigate the cause of Cui Guohong's death, and deal with the matter of divine retribution.

The two sides were arguing fiercely. The eldest prince, whose lips had been pursed ever since the emperor fainted, put on a pained expression and said, "Everyone, please calm down. We are very worried about Father Emperor's coma. However, the most important thing now is to find the real culprit who killed Fourth Brother and to resolve the matter of the city gate tower."

Fifth brother, don't you agree? As he spoke, the eldest prince looked at Cui Haoyu.

Cui Haoyu said with a hint of worry, "Eldest brother is right."

The matters in the court were temporarily resolved, and since the emperor was not present, the court session ended early. The eldest prince and Cui Haoyu walked together toward the emperor's bedchamber, as sons, they were obliged to attend to the emperor in his presence.

The beauty the emperor acquired last year has been bestowed the title of Consort Jing. She's currently weeping and wailing beside the emperor's bedside. Two days later, the Fourth Prince died, and the emperor fell into a coma. What will she do next...?

When the people of Da Cai Zhai saw Xiong Bufan carrying 002 back in the rain, they immediately boiled water to prepare for a bath. Eleven Niang and the others went to make ginger soup, because it would be bad if the chief caught a cold.

Xiong Bufan sat on the golden bed wrapped in a quilt, drinking ginger soup. This trip had really exhausted her. 002 was a useless piece of trash; it couldn't even escape on its own and she had to go and rescue it, needlessly causing her to be chased by lightning.

After taking a bath and changing into new clothes, 002 went to Xiong Bufan's residence. "Bufan, thank you. You saved me again."

"Ah."

Seeing that Xiong Bufan ignored her, 002 was not annoyed and continued, "The emperor has fainted, the capital is in chaos, and Cui Haoyu and the eldest prince are in control of the court."

"Extraordinary, what do you think?"

Xiong Bufan: "I don't really watch it. Let them fight it out themselves."

"it is good."

002 always thought that Xiong Bufan was very wise, and it was always right to ask her about anything. Now that Xiong Bufan was not involved, 002 would not interfere either. The two of them should just stay in Da Cai Zhai in peace. If anyone dared to attack from outside, Da Cai Zhai would definitely make sure they never returned.

However, 002's biggest concern right now is the antidote, and he will probably need to send someone back again.
