Chapter 209 His Majesty's Arrival
The girl didn't say much, just waved her sleeves and flew out of Wu Zhao's house with the lotus flower in an instant.
After the woman had left for a long time, Li Wuzhao slowly poked his head out.
Wu Zhao looked at the woman in front of him, watched the lotus flower disappear, and then sat down on the ground.
The woman just now was very strong, and his back was wet with sweat. A cool breeze blew past, making him much more sober.
"Sir, His Majesty has arrived."
When Wu Zhao heard the report from his subordinates, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, rose to his throat.
I just solved one problem, and now another one comes.
He quickly packed his clothes and went out to welcome Zheng Hongyu.
But when he walked out, Wu Zhao was stunned. What was going on?
As soon as Wu Zhao went out, he was completely confused. He learned from his subordinates' reports that the emperor came to arrest him and to gather intelligence.
However, when he walked out the door, he found that the entire manor was surrounded by densely packed Tianjiying soldiers.
Could it be that the emperor wants to take him down?
It's just one wave after another.
But Wu Zhao was totally wrong. The emperor did not want to take him away. It was just that Zheng Hongyu was very angry now, so he suspected everyone.
Especially Wu Zhao, he was the most suspicious, so Zheng Hongyu brought his troops here.
Wu Zhao walked out and recognized the three people at a glance, including Zheng Hongyu.
"Prime Minister Wu Zhao pays homage to His Majesty."
"Okay, stop being so polite. I thought you caught a woman who was related to the enemy spy. I wonder if it's true?" Zheng Hongyu sat in the carriage with no intention of leaving.
When Wu Zhao heard what the emperor said, he was completely confused. The lotus had just been taken away, so why did the emperor take it back?
However, at this time, he couldn't tell anyone, so what should he do? Wu Zhao was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wu Zhao was trembling all over. He was afraid that Zheng Hongyu would kill him in anger. He was really scared.
"Do you know who did it?" Zheng Hongyu asked.
"Plop!" Wu Zhao quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, I, I, I wanted to find the enemy's accomplices as soon as possible, but I was worried about any misunderstandings, so I didn't report it."
Speaking of this, the clothes on Wu Zhao's back were soaked with sweat. It was really a double whammy.
When Zheng Hongyu heard Wu Zhao say this, he stopped asking questions. He knew who Wu Zhao was.
"Then bring the person to me quickly, I want to interrogate him thoroughly." Zheng Hongyu ordered seriously.
If I can bring him back, why should I stay here? He is gone, where can I find him?
Wu Zhao was trembling, not knowing what to say, but Zheng Hongyu was already getting impatient.
"Hurry up and leave. What are you still standing there for?" Zheng Hongyu's tone became stern.
Wu Zhao trembled all over and said, "Your Majesty, he, he is dead."
"Gone?!" Zheng Hongyu suddenly jumped out of the carriage.
The young eunuch beside him stepped forward to support him, but Zheng Hongyu pushed him away: "Get out!"
Zheng Hongyu's face was gloomy as he walked towards Wu Zhao, "Where are the people?!"
Wu Zhao was shocked by Zheng Hongyu's momentum. He took a step back and said, "Your Majesty, someone is here to rescue her."
Zheng Hongyu took a step forward, grabbed Wu Zhao by the collar, and pulled him out. "Who took him away? When?"
Wu Zhao's entire body softened as he looked at Zheng Hongyu weakly. "I think they were taken away by their companions."
There was a loud "bang!"
Zheng Hongyu threw Wu Zhao to the ground and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Wu Zhao quickly explained, "Your Majesty, when you came, I was about to leave, but I was surrounded by people. He didn't dare to say anything more.
But at this moment, Zheng Hongyu was burning with anger, and almost vomited blood every time.
"Dafeng, He Jie, Li Jun!" A middle-aged man in black clothes shouted loudly.
"I am here!" everyone answered in unison.
"Search the entire city immediately and don't let any suspicious person escape!"
"No!" everyone responded in unison.
Dafeng and his two other men rode away hurriedly, following Zheng Hongyu's instructions.
At this time, Wu Zhao was still lying there like a dead dog. Zheng Hongyu was so angry that he kicked Wu Zhao on the shoulder.
"Puchi..." A light laugh was heard.
Wu Zhao finally managed to stabilize his injuries, but was hit by Zheng Hongyu and was injured again.
"Quick, find someone!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Shi Jin endured the pain all over his body, quickly stood up, and ordered the guards around him to provide support.
Zheng Hongyu's face darkened. He glanced around and waved his sleeves, "Return to the palace!"
Gui Xi, who was standing by, immediately shouted, "Carry the sedan chair back to the palace."
……
Mu Ruixi and the others have been waiting for a whole day because of Liu Zhiyuan's matter.
But in the end, Liu Zhiyuan appeared here and brought the lotus they had always dreamed of.
When Mu Ruixi and the others saw the lotus flower, they immediately stood up.
Mu Ruixi was full of gratitude to Liu Zhiyuan. No matter what, she was her savior.
As soon as Lotus saw them, she burst into tears. "Wow, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Mu Ruixi, Zhang Shuhe and others also noticed the whip marks on Hehua's neck and cheeks. It was obvious that Wu Zhao was torturing Hehua.
Liu Zhiyuan interrupted Mu Ruixi before she could ask, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Zheng Hongyu's people are rushing to Wu Zhao's residence and will probably be there soon. We should get you two out of Yuelun as soon as possible without delay."
Mu Ruixi and the others were stunned. They did not expect Zheng Hongyu to come so quickly, but the situation was urgent, so they had to suppress these thoughts.
Mu Ruixi touched the long whip on Hehua's cheek with pity, a cold glint in her eyes, "Wu Zhao, I will let you taste the pain of being tortured later."
Seeing that Lin Muwen and everyone agreed, Liu Zhiyuan personally sent them out through the back door of the backyard.
After passing through an alley, led by Liu Zhiyuan, the group entered a secret courtyard.
This mansion is very large, but the outside is empty, as if no one lives there.
However, Lin Muwen and the others could clearly sense that in the deepest part of this mansion, there seemed to be someone guarding it in secret.
It seems there is some secret passage out of the city.
When they heard that they were going out, everyone couldn't help but gasp. You know, this city is not ordinary big. It not only has thick city walls, but also a moat.
