Chapter 277: Stop Zong Kui, or Kill Zong Kui
One sentence after another.
Su Jixue's words hit everyone's heart directly.
Zong Kui ran away?
Emperor Jing is dead?!
Dong Chu's only chance to annex Nan Qing? ! !
Su Jixue's words were even more surprising than what she had said before in the Golden Palace.
This is totally inappropriate for a girl from a wealthy family to say.
Emperor Ming was stunned by the words "eternal sinner" and couldn't help but clench his fists. From the very beginning, his goal was the throne.
The former emperor and empress were exterminated, and the former crown prince died tragically.
Emperor Ming would never give up the throne that he had paid such a huge price to obtain.
Whether the Empress Dowager was in power or he was in power, Emperor Ming was always diligent and hardworking, always wanting to live up to his status.
With Eastern Chu in decline, who wouldn't want to be the ruler of its revival?
Zong Kui's words turned all this into a joke, but at this moment, Su Jixue's words made Emperor Ming feel hopeful again.
After Emperor Jing's death, Nanqing was about to fall into chaos.
So Zong Kui's words were most likely just a threat.
Emperor Ming believed the threat. If he let Zongkui go and his identity was undoubted, he would become a sinner for all eternity.
"Royal brother!" King Zhan looked at Emperor Ming with cold eyes, and he had realized that something had happened here that he was not aware of.
Therefore, the group of people that Eunuch Feng sent away were Zong Kui and his men.
The War King sensed something was amiss and only sent out half of Master Huo's men. Now it seemed he had sent too few.
Calculating the time, if it weren't for the Qianji Department and the nationwide warning smoke signals, it would be very likely that the leader of the clan would not be stopped.
"Come here, quickly take this item to the commander-in-chief of the Qianji Division and have him arrange to intercept Zong Kui." Emperor Ming made a quick decision and said, "If it's difficult to intercept, kill him on the spot!"
This was a very sharp decision made by Emperor Ming.
Kill Zongkui, so that no matter what the secret is, it will never be leaked in the end.
"Brother Emperor, I am willing to follow your orders and pursue the leader of the clan." At this moment, the War King stood up from the wheelchair. The blood-stained white clothes made him look particularly thin in the night wind.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Emperor Ming wasted no time: "You will command the personnel of the Jinwu Guard, the Imperial City Guard, and the Five Cities Military Command."
This was the first time that Emperor Ming handed over the power of the three armies defending the city to King Zhan.
The War King looked deeply at Emperor Ming. At this moment, the night was over and the morning light was dim. Emperor Ming seemed to be bathed in the morning light and looked coated with a layer of gold.
At this moment, the four words "True Dragon Emperor" seemed to take shape.
"Jun Wuzui, the rest of the people in the Xiaoying camp will be left to me." Su Jixue said bluntly when she saw that things had been arranged.
The War King nodded.
In fact, the Xiaoying can play the greatest role in the hands of Su Jixue, because these people rescued by Ji Xue actually have a great tacit understanding with her.
What's more, killing and robbing have been their instincts and talents for many years.
"Twenty-one, go call Twelve and the others to come along and look for the pass I left behind along the way." Su Jixue said directly to Twenty-one, who had killed Eunuch Hong with one sword.
Twenty-one nodded. They had their own way of contacting the Xiaoying Camp, and he had the fastest way to contact Twenty-one.
"Your Majesty, please grant me the privilege of commandeering war horses." Su Jixue turned her gaze to the emperor and said, "If I want to catch up with Zong Kui, I need to call upon the fast horses of the Imperial Household Department!"
Su Jixue knew that the Imperial Household Department of Dongchu had actually developed a kind of fast horse that could not be used on a large scale in wars, but could still provide for hundreds of people.
Now, if they want to catch up with Zong Kui, they have to compete in speed.
Now that all the officials are right in front of us, making the request at this moment can save more time.
Emperor Ming knew that time was of the essence and he had no time to ask how Su Jixue knew about this matter. He glanced at everyone present and said, "Minister of the Imperial Household Department, take Miss Su with you as soon as possible..."
Seeing the Minister of the Imperial Household who had already stepped out, Su Jixue interrupted the Emperor Ming and said, "Your Majesty, I do not need anyone to lead the way. With your permission, I will go get a horse and chase them!"
Emperor Ming froze.
After all, no one except Empress Dowager Xie dared to interrupt the emperor. But when Su Jixue said this seriously, Emperor Ming seemed to see the shadow of Empress Dowager Xie.
In fact, this is extremely disrespectful.
But now the situation is urgent and he has to make a decision. Emperor Ming took a deep breath and nodded.
Su Jixue no longer cared about anything else and said directly to the people in the Xiaoying camp: "Let's go, get horses and chase them!"
After saying that, Su Jixue flew away with the people from Xiaoying.
At this moment, they no longer cared about etiquette or anything else. They had only one goal, to stop Zongkui or kill him.
A terrifying murderous aura disappeared from everyone's sight as they turned back.
King Zhan bowed to Emperor Ming and turned to leave.
Only after they left did the courtiers explode again.
"How could Zong Kui escape?!"
"Emperor Jing is really dead?!"
"If that's the case, if we in Dongchu can control Zongkui, wouldn't that be equivalent to controlling Nanqing?!"
At this moment, everyone's minds suddenly became active, and they finally realized that compared to the small profits from signing the contract, if Dong Chu could annex Nan Qing, it would be a major event that would be recorded in history books.
Emperor Ming's eyes flickered, finally realizing he'd made a grave mistake. He shouldn't have let Zong Kui go, and if everyone knew he'd let him go, the damage would be no less than exposing his bloodline.
It seems that Zongkui had already calculated all the pros and cons at that time. To him, no matter what choice Emperor Ming made, it would be wrong.
The Prince Regent of Nanqing truly lived up to his reputation.
It was like a poisonous snake that had been hiding its fangs, but in the end, it couldn't help but show its fangs.
Emperor Ming could not be that sinner.
"My ministers, please return to the Golden Palace first. I want to go see my mother." Emperor Ming knew that he could not take the blame, nor did he want to take it.
Even Emperor Ming didn't know whether this was a pot.
He had to go to Empress Dowager Xie first to find out.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Xie, who had already washed and dressed, sat in the main hall of the Cining Palace with a gloomy face: "So, Eunuch Hong is dead too?"
Aunt Jin Ning's expression was extremely ugly: "Yes."
"Good, good, Su Jixue is really great!" A cold murderous intent finally flashed in Empress Dowager Xie's eyes. If she didn't take Su Jixue seriously at the beginning, then the death of Nanny Jiang and Eunuch Hong made her really have murderous intentions towards Su Jixue.
Su Jixue must die!
"Mother."
Emperor Ming just walked in at this moment. When he walked into the Cining Palace, he knew that Empress Dowager Xie must have told him that he could enter.
Otherwise, Emperor Ming might not even be able to meet Empress Dowager Xie.
This means that Empress Dowager Xie has something to say to him.
Seeing Emperor Ming coming, Empress Dowager Xie sneered, and without giving any orders, she stood up and walked forward, slapping Emperor Ming hard in the face.
"Is this how you become an emperor?!"
