The carriage was moving a little slower. The horses ahead were almost invisible. Ning Chen urged, "Brother Dazhuang, go faster!" "Okay, Fourth Young Master, hold on tight!" Chai Dazhuang raised his whip, but instead of whipping him, he pulled the reins to slow down the carriage. Ning Chen frowned and was about to ask why, when he heard Chai Dazhuang say, "Fourth Young Master, there are people ahead." Ning Chen lifted the curtain and stared at the moonlight. The five horses ahead also stopped because a group of people were coming from the opposite side, their silver fish-scale clothes gleaming in the moonlight. They were from the Supervisory Department, and Geng Jing was the leader. Geng Jing came out of the palace, returned to the Supervisory Department, gathered people, and headed straight for the palace.
This time he was lucky, and God was very kind to him. He really caught the Medicine King, which was smoother than he thought. They were preparing to take the Medicine King back to the Supervisory Department. "Geng Jing, listen to the order!" Geng Jing looked at the eunuchs and guards in front of him, and without thinking too much, he turned over and dismounted, "Geng Jing is here!" "Your Majesty has ordered that the Medicine King be handed over to us to take back to the palace without delay!" Geng Jing frowned slightly, because he didn't know the eunuch in front of him. But the eunuch in front of him was not young, and he had been in the palace for a long time. Generally, such eunuchs with long experience would get a position and be reused. Eunuch Quan was the chief steward of the palace, and it was impossible for him to do everything himself. It was normal for His Majesty to send other eunuchs occasionally. Moreover, he didn't think that the eunuch had the courage to falsely convey the imperial edict. Geng Jing waved his hand, "Bring him here." Two red-clothed men came forward, holding the Medicine King who was handcuffed and shackled. The Medicine King was thin, his eyes were cloudy, and his hooked nose looked a little cruel. The eunuch waved his hand and ordered the guards, "Take the man back." The two guards turned over and dismounted. Just as they were about to take the Medicine King away, a voice came from a distance, "Wait!" Ning Chen got off the carriage, leaning on his knife, and limped over. The eunuch looked at Ning Chen who was walking over, his face changed slightly, and he shouted sternly: "Bold Ning Chen, are you going to disobey the order?" Ning Chen smiled slightly, "This eunuch, don't always put a big hat on others... This person is too important. If you escort him, I'm worried that there will be mistakes. Why don't we escort him together?" The eunuch snorted coldly and said angrily: "Ning Chen, this is the task assigned to us by His Majesty... Ning Yinyi won't worry about it. If there is really a mistake, it will be our responsibility."
Ning Ning Chen stepped forward, his eyes full of aggression, and said word by word: "Can you bear it? Even if you can bear it, we will not hand it over to you." The eunuch was furious, pointing at Ning Chen and sternly said: "Ning Chen, you dare to disobey the order, watch out for your head." Ning Chen sneered: "My head, don't worry about it, eunuch... But I have a question, you are a eunuch in the East Palace, why does His Majesty go to the farthest place and let you bring people into the palace?" The eunuch's face changed, and he hesitated for a while and couldn't speak. Geng Jing also looked at the eunuch. This eunuch was from the East Palace. Did he also realize that something was wrong? He asked someone to keep an eye on the King of Medicine, walked over and pulled Ning Chen aside, lowered his voice and asked: "What's the matter?" Ning Chen hesitated for a moment, but still planned to tell Geng Jing the truth. Geng Jing is loyal to His Majesty and trustworthy. Ning Chen lowered his voice: "I came out of the palace tonight, and just as I entered the house, I received a secret order from His Majesty... asking me to lead the musket battalion." "His Majesty issued an order late at night, and it was a secret order. I felt something was wrong, so I went to the palace, but was blocked outside the palace on the grounds that there was an assassin in the palace." "Now there are eunuchs from the East Palace coming to rob people... I think something is wrong!" Geng Jing frowned. "It is a bit wrong. His Majesty is surrounded by Nie Liang and Eunuch Quan, as well as masters and imperial guards. Catching an assassin will not stop you from the palace gate." "Ning Chen, what do you think?" Ning Chen glanced at the eunuch from the East Palace and said, "The situation is still unclear, but the King of Medicine must not be handed over to them." Geng Jing nodded slightly. He looked at the eunuch from the Eastern Palace and said, "Eunuch, I want to know why His Majesty didn't use the people around him, but sent you, a person from the Eastern Palace?" The eunuch hesitated for a long time, and said with his neck stiff, "How do I know? Maybe the people around His Majesty are not trustworthy, so he sent me here." This answer full of loopholes made Ning Chen and Geng Jing laugh. His Majesty may not trust others, but he will never doubt the loyalty of Eunuch Quan. In addition, it doesn't need to be so troublesome to bring someone to the palace. Just send someone to say it, and Geng Jing will send the person to His Majesty. But this eunuch insisted on taking the King of Medicine back himself. Geng Jing said in a deep voice: "I will not hand the person over to you... Either I will bring the person to His Majesty with the eunuch? Or I will bring the person to His Majesty myself." The eunuch stared at Geng Jing, "Sir Geng, are you going to disobey the order?" Geng Jing said indifferently: "I am also thinking about the safety of the prisoner. If His Majesty blames me, Geng will bear it all." The eunuch looked angry and stared at Geng Jing and Ning Chen for a while. "Okay, I will tell His Majesty the truth, and you just wait for His Majesty to punish you?" After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said angrily: "Let's go back!"
The eunuch rode away with the guards. Ning Chen and Geng Jing looked at each other, and both had a bad premonition in their hearts. "It seems that something happened in the palace!" Geng Jing's expression changed slightly and he nodded. "Ning Chen, I'll have someone send the Medicine King back to the Supervisory Department. Let's go to the palace to see what's going on?" Ning Chen's eyes flickered, he shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "If something really happened in the palace, the Medicine King would not be safe in the Supervisory Department." Geng Jing glared at him, "Do you have so little confidence in our Supervisory Department? Except for His Majesty, no one dares to take people away from the Supervisory Department." "Sir Geng forgot about Chen Lezhang? The fact that the Left Prime Minister escaped from the Supervisory Department proves that the Supervisory Department is not a monolithic entity... If the Medicine King died in the Supervisory Department, it would be troublesome!" Geng Jing's mouth twitched slightly. The Left Prime Minister escaped from the Supervisory Department, Chen Lezhang rebelled... These are all his shame. "Then what do you think we should do?" Ning Chen whispered, "Hide the Medicine King first, and wait until we find out what happened in the palace? Then decide what to do next?" Geng Jing nodded slightly, but then lowered his voice and said, "But with so many eyes watching, it's not fair to take the Medicine King away like this, right?" Ning Chen whispered a few words in his ear. Geng Jing looked at him speechlessly, "Do you think they can't recognize my body shape?" "This is not important, the important person is indeed missing." Geng Jing sighed helplessly and said loudly, "Ning Chen, you take people to escort the Medicine King back to the Supervisory Department... Pan Jinyi, follow me into the palace." Geng Jing left with Pan Yucheng. Ning Chen took people to escort the Medicine King back to the Supervisory Department. On the way, two people wearing underwear and underwear suddenly rushed out from the alley next to them. These two people are extremely skilled, and they rushed into the crowd as if they were in an empty space. The people from the Supervisory Department were not their opponents in one move, and they were all knocked down in one move. The two did not want to fight, and they fled with the Medicine King and disappeared in the alley. By the time the people from the Supervisory Department came to their senses, the people had already disappeared. They all looked at Ning Chen, waiting for him to give the order to chase. Ning Chen walked to the entrance of the alley, looked around, shook his head, and said, "The other party is well prepared. Don't chase them, or they will be ambushed." The people from the Supervisory Department were full of questions? Those two people just now were so strange, wearing underwear to rob people? Moreover, their figures looked familiar, like Geng Ziyi and Pan Jinyi?
