Chapter 149 Three major families send troops

Li Qingxuan was furious and mobilized 20,000 imperial troops to block the nine gates of the imperial city.

Long Qingfeng and others were also full of murderous intent.

When he returned to the palace, he saw Yang Xuanji walking towards Li Qingxuan in a hurry.

"Prince You, I discovered that someone had tampered with your majesty's royal study."

"And found this."

Yang Xuanji took out a paper bag with some crushed medicinal powder inside.

"This is the crumbs of Godless grass. It emits a smell that makes people uneasy, causes insomnia, and even nightmares after a long time."

Hearing Yang Xuanji's words, Li Qingxuan cursed secretly for being cunning.

No wonder Huazhi suffers from insomnia and nightmares. It turns out that someone put this in the study.

They used this method to disrupt Huazhi's work and rest, and then killed some women in the city to disturb Li Qingxuan's mind, making Li Qingxuan mistakenly think that Huazhi was under the spell of witchcraft.

In this way, Li Qingxuan will naturally look for someone to remove the witchcraft.

Then the King of Medicine, who was well-known in the world, naturally fell into Li Qingxuan's sight.

This plan is interconnected and uses people's psychology to lure Li Qingxuan into a trap step by step.

Li Qingxuan immediately ordered a thorough investigation of those who were qualified to enter the imperial study.

As long as we find out who placed this herbal debris in the royal study, we can know who is behind the scenes.

With an order, the palace launched a large-scale investigation.

Soon Ji Ting came to report.

"His Royal Highness Youwang, everyone who has entered the imperial study in the past few days has been investigated. A palace maid named Xia He is the most suspicious."

"Half a month ago, she entered the imperial study room once on the pretext of organizing books for His Majesty."

"Where is this woman?"

Li Qingxuan asked.

"When my subordinates found her, she had hanged herself."

The clue is broken.

"This Xia He was originally an abandoned son, and now the only clue is the Medicine King."

From the time Long Qingfeng sent the Medicine King back to rest to the time he sealed the nine gates, it took less than half an hour.

Judging from the personnel entry and exit records brought by the nine gate guards, the opponent probably did not have time to leave the imperial city.

It seems that the other party has already thought of a way to escape, and he may have found a place to hide now.

"The imperial city is so big, as long as he doesn't show his head, it will be difficult for us to find him."

Xue Gang frowned.

"The other party's methods reminded me of a force."

Yang Xuanji suddenly spoke.

"What force?"

Li Qingxuan asked.

"Fahua Mountain."

"In the serial murder cases in the city, the women lost part of their blood after they died. Originally, King You and Tianyiwei thought it was witchcraft, but obviously the enemy didn't know how to use witchcraft at all, and they just used witchcraft as a cover-up. "

"This reminds me of a kind of Gu insect raised in Fahua Mountain, which likes to eat human blood. Now that I think about it, all the characteristics of the deceased match."

Li Qingxuan pondered for a few seconds and said: "The herbal fragments were put into the imperial study more than ten days ago. Exactly half a month ago, Zhao Teng, the head of the Zhao family, left the imperial city in person. He must have colluded with Fahua Mountain to set up this plan. This conspiracy."

Yang Xuanji shook his head hastily.

"The Zhao family is one of the three major families. It was with their help that the Great Xia Dynasty came into being."

"I don't know how many of the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty were his disciples. Their forces are intricately intertwined. If there is no solid evidence, we must not touch him rashly."

"Perhaps Zhao Teng thinks that no one dares to touch him, so he dares to act so boldly."

"The Medicine King is most likely hiding in the Zhao Mansion."

Li Qingxuan said calmly.

"Whether the Zhao family has colluded with Fahuashan, you can find out by searching."

"If the Zhao family is not there, search the Dong family. If the Dong family is not there, search the Yang family. If the three major families are not there, search the entire imperial city."

"No way."

Hearing this, Yang Xuanji and Xue Gang's expressions changed several times.

However, Li Qingxuan had already turned around and walked directly out of the palace.

He doesn't care about the three major families. His wife was almost killed, and he must find the murderer.

"Master Xue, let's go together, otherwise His Highness Prince You may be in big trouble." Yang Xuanji said.

"good."

Xue Gang nodded, and the two hurriedly chased after him.

…

"King You has an order, the whole army must assemble!"

With an order, all the imperial troops inside and outside the imperial city moved into action and gathered at the palace gate.

"According to the order from Prince You, all members of the Snow Dragon Cavalry must gather. Except for the soldiers and generals on duty, everyone else must gather at the north gate."

A messenger with a flag on his back rode a fast horse and galloped past the nine gates.

Convey King You's orders to the guards at each gate.

"Prince Youwang ordered the entire army to assemble."

"The Order of King You..."

Both the internal and external Forbidden Forces began to take action.

All rush to the north gate.

Like small streams converging into a big river, more and more taxi soldiers gathered at the north gate.

"Everything."

The sound of neat footsteps came.

The Shura cavalry, led by Ye Cangqiong, also appeared, standing in a square formation, their armor shining with an icy sheen.

When the Snow Dragon Cavalry, the Internal and External Forbidden Army, and the Shura Iron Cavalry were all assembled, the team of more than 20,000 people was silent and filled with solemn killing.

Under the city gate, Li Qingxuan was riding a night-zhao jade lion, exuding an icy aura.

The temperature under the city wall dropped to freezing point.

Ji Ting, Long Qingfeng, Nie Longxiang and other eight commanders stood in front of the team, quietly waiting for Li Qingxuan's order.

Ye Cangqiong, Wu Jian, and Zhao Mu are also waiting for orders.

Li Qingxuan looked coldly and ordered: "Nie Longxiang, you lead a team of people to clear the streets. In the capital today, no matter dignitaries or ordinary people, no one is allowed to go out at home."

"After an hour, if there is anyone on the street, you are the only one to ask."

"yes."

Nie Longxiang left after receiving the order.

"Ji Ting, Long Qingfeng, you two will lead the troops to monitor the whole city. If you see any suspicious elements, capture them immediately."

"The rest of the people will follow me to the Zhao family. Today, I will search the entire capital to find out the Medicine King."

With an order, everyone took action.

Pedestrians hurried to their homes and shops were closed.

Iron cavalry rode through, and entire streets were cleared.

Half an hour later, except for the iron hooves of the Forbidden Army, no one was walking around in the entire capital.

Li Qingxuan rode in the lead, and the army marched towards the Zhao family like a long dragon.

A storm is coming.
